27、#160;as a minor crime?According to the police, 96,210 bikes were stolen in 2018, and about one in 50 bicycle-owning households fall _32_ to cycle theft each year. Those who can afford a second bike might have a “beater”, a cheap bike they leave in _33_ areas, and can afford

28、to lose but those who cannot make both ends meet, and live below the poverty line will find themselves cornered by bike theft.  According to a survey for Bike Register, 50% of victims felt police didnt investigate the

29、60;crime, while those _34_ in cycle theft see it as low risk in terms of being caught. Police recover just 3% of stolen bikes. In fact, the problem is almo

30、st certainly much greater: People often dont report it thinking theres nothing the police can do, so the full _35_ of the problem remains hidden.Cycle crime hotspots were identified as Cambridge, Oxfo

31、rd, Southampton, Bristol, etc. Most cycle thefts occur near or in peoples homes, but thieves also _36_ transport hubs (中心，枢纽) and university campuses. In the meantime, the police have come up with a way to _37_ the issue. Training 23 officers in regional cycle crime taskforces is

32、 part of a national cycle crime strategy, _38_ with measures like education on safe locking techniques, working with websites where more than half of stolen bikes are sold, and identifying cycle theft _39_ and priorities.If a bike is stolen, there is about a 20% chance the victim will not replace it

33、, losing their transport, exercise, and potential access to local communities and service. It is widely accepted that polices _40_ effort is fundamental to a drop in cycle theft.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrase

34、s marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Technology is playing a vital role in preservation and ecology research. Drones (无人机) hold huge _41_ in the fight to save the worlds remaining wildlife from extinction. So researchers can now

35、 track wild animals through dense forests and monitor whales in vast oceans. Its estimated that up to five living species become extinct every day, making it urgent that universities develop new technologies to capture the data that can persuade _42_ to act.The British International Education A

36、ssociation hosted a conference in January to _43_ the importance of technological solutions in protecting vulnerable (易受伤害的)species and ecosystems. Speakers underlined how technology can help _44_: drones can circle high 

37、;above the ocean to spot whales, while certain cameras can identify members of an individual species.According to Claudio Sillero, biology professor at Oxford University, technology is changing how preservation research is do

38、ne but its in a(n) _45_ way. As technology gets better and cheaper, researchers become better at doing what they were already doing. _46_, remote sensing used to be a very technical tool but is now widespread, and everyone uses global positioning system (GPS) for surveying.But teaching preserva

39、tion and ecology courses in university _47_. Some teach drone surveying methods in depth while others dont even mention them. “The fact is, using drones is quite a(n) _48_ to the interdisciplinary (跨学科的) unknown of engineering, and potentially an area where lecturers may not feel confident

40、 to teach yet,” Serge Wich, an expert in primate biology says. “Students are taught about _49_ technologies such as automatic sound recorders, but drones are often missing from university teaching. Consequently, drone use among researchers is still fairly _50_ and focused on getting photos.”Wichs te

41、am of researchers used techniques to develop a fully automated drone technology system that _51_ and monitors the health of endangered animals globally. Its designed to be cheap, stable and simple to use, so that local communities in developing countries can operate it _52_ without technical ba

42、ckground. Yet its not more widely used on the grounds of researchers lack of skills to use this technology. In biology, where drones are used, few can program an algorithm (算法) specifically for their preservation or research problem. “Theres much that needs to be done to _53_ those two wor

43、lds and to make AI more user-friendly so that people who cant program can still use the technology,” Wich says._54_, the sad truth is that better technology alone will not save any more species from dying out, Greengrass warns. “As human populations increase, so do threats and pressure on wild place

44、s. Preservationists are _55_ for not doing enough but its often an issue of people, conflict and governance.” Technology may help provide far greater knowledge, but governments still need to act. 41.A. shortage  B. threats        C. potential

50、)A Different Kind of Spring BreakFor many American university students, the week-long spring break holiday means an endless part on a sunny beach in Florida or Mexico. In Panama City Beach, Florida, a city with a permanent population of approximately 36,000, more than half a million university stude

51、nts arrive during the month of March to play and party, making it the number one spring break destination in the United States.A week-long drinking binge is not for everyone, however, and a growing number of American university students have found a way to make spring break matter. For the

52、m, joining or leading a group of volunteers to travel locally or internationally and work to address problems such as poverty, homelessness, or environmental damage makes spring break a unique learning experience that university students can feel good at.During one spring break week, students at Jam

53、es Madison University in Virginia participated in 15 “alternative spring break” trips to nearby states, three others to more distant parts of the United States, and five international trips. One group of JMU students traveled to Bogalusa, Louisiana, to help rebuild homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina

54、. Another group traveled to Mississippi to organize creative activities for children living in a homeless shelter. One group of students did go to Florida, but not to lie on the sand. They performed exhausting physical labor such as maintaining roving invasive plant species that threaten the native

55、Florida ecosystem.Students who participate in alternative spring break projects find them very rewarding. While most university students have to get their degrees before they can start helping people, student volunteers are able to help people now. On the other hand, the accommodations are far from

56、glamorous. Students often sleep on the floor of a school or church, or spend the week camping in tents. But students only pay around $250 for meals and transportation, which is much less than some of their peers spend to travel to more traditional spring break hot spot. 56. How many&#

57、160;university students travel to Panama Beach City every March for spring break?A. Around 36,000.       B. Around 50,000.C. Around 500,000.           D. Around 10,0

58、00.57. The underlined word “binge” in paragraph 2 probably means _.A. doing too much of something    B. studying for too longC. refusing to do something    D. having very little alcohol58. Which of the following gives the

59、0;main idea of the third paragraph?A. One group of JMU students worked on homes damaged by a hurricane.B. Children living in homeless shelters enjoy creative activities.C. Some students work to help the environment on alternative spring break trips.D. University students do

60、different types of work on alternative spring break trips.59. What is implied in this article is that _.A. university students spend more than $250 for traditional spring break tripsB. university students complain about the accommodations on alternative spring break tripsC. university students may t

61、ake fewer alternative spring break trips in the futureD. university students would prefer to wait until they have their degrees to start helping people (B)Cropping (修剪) an Image With the Snap Shot ProgramWelcome to the world of photo-editing!Cropping an image allow
