14、how full the story was. She was satisfied by it. She felt happy, like she had just been on an adventurous ride. She was also sad, joyful, and hopeful.

18、， 該短語的意思為“了解；弄懂”， 所以選B項(xiàng)。6A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中“being a part of Tomorrowland has given her a more positive outlook on the future”可知， 演這部電影使她更積極地看待未來。7B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中“She felt a mix of emotions after reading the script”可知， B項(xiàng)中的“a mixed feeling”與此相符。CThe worlds insects are going down the path of extinction, thr

19、eatening a “catastrophic collapse of natures ecosystems”， according to the first global scientific review. More than 40% of insect species are declining and a third are endangered, the analysis found. The rate of extinction is eight times faster than that of mammals, birds and reptiles.“It should be

20、 of huge concern to all of us, for insects are at the heart of every food web. They pollinate(授粉) the large majority of plant species, keep the soil healthy, recycle nutrients, control pests, and much more. Love them or loathe them, we humans cannot survive without insects，”said Prof Dave Goulson at

21、 the University of Sussex in the UK. The analysis, published in the journal Biological Conservation, says intensive(集約型) agriculture is the main driver of the declines, particularly the heavy use of pesticides. Urbanisation and climate change are also significant factors. “If insect species losses c

22、annot be stopped, this will have catastrophic consequences for both the planets ecosystems and for the survival of mankind. It is very rapid. In 10 years you will have a quarter less, in 50 years only half left and in 100 years you will have none，” said review author Francisco SnchezBayo, at the Uni

23、versity of Sydney, Australia.One of the biggest impacts of insect loss is on many birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish that eat insects. “If this food source is taken away, all these animals starve to death，” he said. Such effects have already been seen in Puerto Rico, where a recent study revealed

24、a 98% fall in ground insects over 35 years.Matt Shardlow, at the conservation charity Buglife, said: “It is thoughtful to see this evidence that shows the pitiful state of the worlds insect populations. It is increasingly obvious that the planets ecology is breaking and there is a need for a strong

25、and global effort to prevent and change these terrible trends.”8Why are people worried about the insect decline?AThey are vital to ecosystems.BThey provide food for pests.CThey pollinate all plants.DThey enrich the soil.9What is the main cause of insect losses?AMore and more trees.BRestrictions on p

28、態(tài)系統(tǒng)至關(guān)重要。9C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中“The analysis, published in the journal Biological Conservation, says intensive agriculture is the main driver of the declines, particularly the heavy use of pesticides.”可知， 發(fā)表在生物保護(hù)雜志上的分析說集約農(nóng)業(yè)是昆蟲數(shù)量下降的主要驅(qū)動(dòng)力， 尤其是大量使用農(nóng)藥。10D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中“In 10 years you will have a quarter less, in

29、50 years only half left and in 100 years you will have none”可知， 在第四段中可以找到昆蟲減少的確切時(shí)間。11B主旨大意題。最后一段中提到“看到這些顯示世界昆蟲種群的可憐狀態(tài)的證據(jù)是發(fā)人深思的。越來越明顯的是， 地球的生態(tài)正受到破壞， 為了預(yù)防和改變這些可怕的趨勢(shì)， 需要一個(gè)強(qiáng)大和全球的努力”。由此推知， 本文最佳主題是“Insect declining is breaking natures ecosystems(昆蟲數(shù)量的減少正在破壞自然生態(tài)系統(tǒng))”。DStudies have shown most people fail to

30、realize how much time they spend on their smart phones each day.Frank and Amelias family were put to a test, using a free app called “Momentscreen Time Tracker”.

31、much time on their phones each day.“Honestly, I dont feel like Im on my phone a lot，” Amelia Vascellaro said.
