六、阅读理解

文章大意：这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚的安亨地最易发生火灾，但当地的土著人通过在干旱季早期点火烧地这种以火攻火的方式，来减轻之后的山火，同时他们还利用新的科学技术结合传统基础知识，更好地扑灭山火。

13. The remote pocket of Amhem Land, about 160 miles east of Darwin, is home to a host of threatened species, with stunning waterfalls, rockformations, and unspoiled forests. It is also the most fire-prone landscape on the planet, and up to one-third of northern Australia burns every year.However, fire isn’t just the problem — here, it’s also the solution.

During the cool of northern Australia’s early dry season, Indigenous rangers (土著护林员) weren’t fighting fires; they were lighting them. FromApril to July each year, they walk hundreds of miles armed with drip torches, setting the land alight, and conduct certain burns from the air, droppingincendiary pellets (燃烧弹) from helicopters. Damp vegetation, low winds, and lower temperatures at that time of year mean the fires they light aresmaller and less intense, typically burning out overnight. If the land is burned gently, the wildfires that will come later won’t be as destructive. It alsogives the rangers a fighting chance at putting them out.

Fighting fire with fire is not a new concept. In Arnhem Land, aboriginal elders say fire brings the land to life again; after a burn, the land isreborn. Fire was used by aboriginal people for hunting, for regeneration and for ceremony. They believed fire was the common thread. It would be away of not just caring for country but also reconnecting with aspects of their culture. Ancient practice became modern reality through a novelapproach. Aboriginal people combined customary knowledge on how, when, and where to burn with modern tools such as satellite mapping andhelicopters to conduct aerial burning and drop firefighters into remote areas. Strategic fires in the early dry season, along with firefighting in the latedry season, limit wildfires, protecting forests and reducing the overall amount of smoke.

“It’s hugely innovative and globally significant,” says Shaun Ansell, the former CEO of Warddeken L and Management. “With the rangerprogram, you’re making that traditional knowledge and connection to country, and the history that surrounds it, valuable,” Ansell adds.1. Why do the Indigenous rangers light fires during the early dry season?

A．To make future wildfires less destructive.B．To burn certain type of vegetation.

C．To scare away threatening species.

2. What can we infer about the practice from Paragraph 3?

D．To apply customary knowledge.B．It challenges the conventional concept.D．It aims at mapping remote areas.

A．It is a new way of celebration.C．It keeps up with the times.

3. What is Shaun Ansell’s attitude towards this novel approach?

A．Unclear.B．Disapproving.C．Doubtful.D．Favorable.

4. What can be the best title for the text?

A．Ways to Protect Australian Aboriginal LandB．The Origin of Australian Aboriginal CulturesC．How Australian Aboriginals Fight Fire with Fire?D．What Aboriginal Customary Knowledge Brings Us?

文章大意：本文是说明文。文章讲述了研究表明一个人使用智能手机应用程序留下的数据可以泄露个人身份。

14. The time a person spends on different smartphone apps is enough to identify them from a larger group in more than one in three cases, sayresearchers.

Researchers analyzed smartphone data from 780 people. They fed 4,680 days of app usage data into statistical models. Each of these days waspaired with one of the 780 users so that the models learned people’s daily app use patterns.

The researchers then tested whether models could identify an individual when provided with only a single day of smartphone activity that wasanonymous (匿名的). The models, which were trained on only six days of app usage data per person, could identify the correct person from a day ofanonymous data one third of the time.

That might not sound like much, but when the models predict who the data belonged to, it could also provide a list of the most to the least likelycandidates. It was possible to view the top 10 most likely individuals that a specific day of data belonged to. Around 75% of the time, the correct userwould be among the top 10 most likely candidates.

In practical terms, a law enforcement (执法机构) investigation seeking to identify a criminal’s new phone with these models could reduce acandidate pool of approximately 1,000 phones to 10 phones, with a 25% risk of missing them.

Consequently, the researchers warn that software given access to a smartphone’s standard activity logging could make a reasonable predictionabout a user’s identity even when they were logged-out of their account. An identification is possible without monitoring conversations or behaviorswithin apps themselves.

Therefore, it is important to acknowledge that app usage data alone, which is often collected by a smartphone automatically, can potentially reveala person’s identity. While providing new opportunities for law enforcement, it also poses risks to privacy if this type of data is misused.1. What is the purpose of the passage?

A．To explain a phenomenon.B．To confirm an assumption.C．To show a research process.D．To present a research finding.

2. How did the researchers reach their conclusion?

A．By recording app use time.B．By studying app usage data.C．By comparing different apps.D．By changing app use patterns.

3. What is the function of the statistical models?

A．Locating criminals.B．Tracking usage of apps.C．Identifying phone users.D．Predicting trends of apps.

4. What is the author’s attitude towards app usage data?

A．Cautious.B．Favorable.C．Doubtful.D．Uninterested.

15. For people, many other animals, family matters. Consider how many jobs go to relatives. Or how an ant will cruelly attack intruder(入侵的)ants but rescue injured, closely related nest-mates. There are good evolutionary reasons to aid relatives, after all. Now, it seems, family feelings may

stir in plants as well.

A Canadian biologist planted the seed of the idea more than a decade ago, but many plant biologists regarded it as heretical—plants lack thenervous systems that enable animals to recognize kin(家族), so how can they know their relatives? But with a series of recent findings, the belief thatplants really do care for their most genetically close peers—in a quiet, planty way—is taking root. Some species control how far their roots spread,others change how many flowers they produce, and a few tilt(倾斜) or shift their leaves to minimize shading of neighboring plants, favoring relatedindividuals.

“We need to recognize that plants not only sense whether it’s light or dark or if they’ve been touched, but also whom they are interacting with,”says Susan Dudley, a plant evolutionary ecologist, whose early plant kin recognition studies sparked the interest of many scientists.

Beyond broadening views of plant behavior, the new work may have a practical side. In September 2018, a team in China reported that riceplanted with kin grows better, a finding that suggested family ties can be used to improve crop yields. “It seems anytime anyone looks for it, they finda kin effect,” says Andre Kessler, a chemical ecologist at Cornell University.1. Why are ants mentioned in the first paragraph?

A．To show how cruel ants are to their enemies.

B．To lay foundation for the idea of plants’ family feelings.C．To introduce the topic of how family matters to animals.

D．To explain why people usually give more jobs to their relatives.

2. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word “heretical”?

A．Indescribable.B．Understandable.C．Impossible.D．Traditional.

3. What may be the plants’ way of expressing their care for relatives?

A．They stop producing flowers to avoid competition.B．They spread their roots far so as to protect their peers.C．They care for their injured peers by silently taking roots.D．They move their leaves to share sunlight with their close peers.

4. What can be inferred from the text?

A．Different plants mustn’t be planted together.

B．Corn planted with corn can produce more than that with rice.

C．China has put the idea into wide practice and achieved great success.D．The closer rice is planted with their relatives the more they will produce.

We Must Act Now to Protect Our Threatened Oceans

Last week, climate strikers young and old came out in force to call upon the government to act with greater urgency in tackling the global climateemergency.

They 1 very well feel a need to step up their demands upon hearing the awful findings of the special report on the ocean and cryosphere（低

which exist between our climate, our oceans and our very existence. It presented the scientific evidence 2 our warming climate is placing marineand frozen areas of our planet in grave danger, with some changes happening at a much larger scale and faster rate than previously 3 (predict).Urgent action is needed 4 we are to keep our planet and our oceans safe and habitable. This requires 5 (ambition) targets to reduce ourcarbon emissions and to shift our energy system away from polluting fossil fuels towards 100% renewable energies. Change is also needed ininternational cooperation around 6 our oceans are protected.It is hoped that early next year UN member states 7 (sign) a strong global ocean treaty that could pave the way for the creation of marinesanctuaries（禁猎区）, 8 (place) at least 30% of oceans off limits to human activities such as commercial fishing and oil and gas exploration.This is a crucial step towards restoring marine ecosystems and securing a sustainable future for those 9 livelihoods depend on our oceans.The government has been a vocal champion for ocean conservation. Now is the time for Britain 10 (turn) political will into decisive actionby leading the way with a new global ocean treaty. The prime minster’s direct involvement could make the difference between a watered-downagreement or a powerful one.
