21、trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A childs day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的）to new stimulat
22、ion(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night
23、when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spri
24、ng. Later they all admitted theyd felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a “ruby-crowned kinglet“ and checked it off. They no longer paid
25、attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of “time“ and “destination“ are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take
26、a moment to see whats around them. I asked them what theyd seen. “Oh, a few birds,“ they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this f

30、 have learned something about myself since I moved from Long Island to Florida three years ago. Even though I own a home in Port St, Lucie just minutes from the ocean, an un- controllable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south. I guess I am a snowbird stuck in rev
31、erse. Instead of enjoying Floridas mild winters, I willingly endure the severe weather on Long Island, the place I called home for 65 years.Im like a migratory bird (候鸟) that has lost its sense of timing and direction, my wings flapping against season.So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbir
32、ds? The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am. Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees, I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire. I also long for the bright display of colors-
33、first in the fall trees, and then in the lights around homes and at Rockefeller Center. Floridians decorate too, but cant create the special feel of a New England winter.I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I havent seen in months. What could be better t
34、han sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, or watching neighbors children excitedly open gifts on Christmas? Even the first snowfall seems special. I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snow-covered branch. (My wife and I spend winters at a retirement c
35、ommunity in Ridge, and Im grateful that I dont have to shovel.)While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island, they are some of the reasons why I come back. Who says you cant go home?29Whats the difference between Florida and Long Island?AWinters in Florida are milder. BThe snowbirds in
36、Florida are rarer.- 6 -CWeather in Florida is severer. DFlorida is nearer to the ocean.30What does the underlined word “reluctance” in Paragraph 3 mean?AUnwillingness. BExpectation. CCoincidence.

38、metown.DPlastic-Eating WormsHumans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场)，and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. qSo far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs o
39、f some hungry worms.Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about
40、92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass-apparently broken down by enzymes(酶)from
41、 the worms stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017.Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms ability to break down their everyday food-beeswax-also allows them to break down plastic “Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbo
42、n-carbon bond, is there as well, “she explains. “The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond. “Jennifer Debruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with
43、 previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?Bertocchini agrees and hopes her teams findings might one day help empl
44、oy the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process-not simply “millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.”33What can we learn about the worms in the study?- 7 -AThey take plastics as their everyday food. BThey are newly evolv
45、ed creatures.CThey can consume plastics. DThey wind up in landfills.34According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to .Aidentify other means of the breakdown Bfind out the source of the enzymeCconfirm the research findings Dincrease the breakdown speed35It can be inferred from the la
46、st paragraph that the chemical might .Ahelp to raise worms Bhelp make plastic bagsCbe used to clean the oceans Dbe produced in factories in future二、七选五（共 10 小题;每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）Earth is home to around 7,000 languages, around half of which are expected to disappear by 2100.Languages disappear for many
47、 reasons. Sometimes younger generations stop learning a language because parents want children to fit in. 36 Native American children of the late-19th century were required to attend boarding schools where educators forbade them from speaking their native languages.The United Nations ranks endangere
48、d languages according to their risk level. For example, a “critically endangered“ language is one that even grandparents dont speak often. New Yorks Onondaga language is an example with only 50 speakers left. An “extinct“ language has no speakers. It is gone forever. Alaskas Eyak language is one example. 3738In the same way, different languages contribute to cultural diversity. Saving these languages benefits our understanding of other cultures. Languages can show how a society looks at the world and what it values. A language may describe something in a way that is funny, too. In Welsh, it
