12、ren individually at home instead of sending them off to be formally educated in public or private schools.In the U.S. only about three percent of children are homeschooled.There are many reasons why some parents choose to homeschool.One reason is that some parents do not feel their children are safe

13、 in school because of bullying（恃强凌弱）.It is said that bullying is very common in the school. Other parents want their childrens education to be based on their religion or moral beliefs.Yet other parents think the education in school is not good enough.Homeschooling is also seen as a choice for famili

14、es that live in rural areas, and families that move frequently.There are many different ways to homeschool,and homeschooling allows parents to design lessons based on their childrens needs.Families can purchase textbooks to use or create their own materials.Some parents follow a philosophy called un

15、schooling,which allows a child to determine when and how they want to learn based on their natural ability.Some worry that homeschooling means students wont have opportunities to communicate with others.To solve this problem,some families have created activities,where a group of homeschooled student

16、s will learn and play together and participate in activities that would normally happen in school like field trips.Besides,being homeschooled doesnt mean a student cannot go to college.Most colleges accept homeschooled students.And the homeschooled students can get the same degrees,too.1、How many Am

Thats because the cheap and durable material is found in almost every household item from dinnerware to drink bottles to even food w

21、rappers. Now, an Indonesian-based company has come up with a delicious and nutritious solution to help reduce our dependence on this environmental hazard. Since single-use packaging is a large contributor to the problem, the creators decided to settle that problem first.After researching on various

22、material options, the company settled on seaweed. Unlike corn, commonly used for biodegradable（可生物降解的）containers, seaweed does not require resources like water, fertilizers, or large amounts of space. According to Evoware, as much as 40 tons of seaweed can be grown in an area the size of a baseball

23、field. The marine algae（海藻类植物）also helps reduce ocean acidity by absorbing harmful green house gases like carbon dioxide. Since Indonesian farmers already harvest more seaweed than they can sell, it is not difficult for the company to find the material.Evoware says the seaweed packaging contains no

24、chemicals and is safe to consume. In addition to wrapping fast food items like burgers, it can also be used to house things like instant noodles seasoning and single-serve instant coffee. Consumers simply drop the entire packaging into the hot water and watch the odorless（没有气味的）, tasteless packet di

25、sappear, leaving behind no trace of its existence.While replacing plastic with the seaweed products may seem like a no-brainer to most of us, it is a hard-sell in Indonesia. According to Christian, “The awareness, understanding, and sense of urgency to minimize the use of single-use plastic is still

26、 very low. This makes our bioplastic seem irrelevant（不相干的）and unnecessary.” Also a factor is the cost, which is higher the using plastic. However, Evoware believes they can reduce the price greatly once the company moves to full-scale production. Hopefully, Evoware will succeed in convincing Indones

27、ians, and people worldwide, that their products will be beneficial to the protection of our beautiful planet.1、What does the underlined word “hazard” in Paragraph 1 mean?AProtection. BPower.CDanger. DContribution.2、Why does the company use seaweed to produce their wrappers?AIt is easy to acquire.BIt

28、 can be planted in baseball field.CIt is commonly used for containers.DIt is popular with Indonesian farmers.3、What is the third paragraph mainly about?AThings able to be wrapped in seaweed containers.BComponents contained in seaweed containers.CWays of using the seaweed packaging.DAdvantages of the

29、 seaweed packaging.4、What does Evoware think of their future seaweed products?AThey will bring in huge profits.BThey remain a big challenge.CThey will be accepted finally.DThey will replace plastics completely.23（8分） Hotshot jet pilots are no match for cliff swallows. The birds rocket over bridges a

30、nd skim over lakes, rushing forward at accelerations that would knock an Air Force. By tracking these contests with high-speed cameras, a new study gives the first, in-depth peek into avian aerodynamics (鸟类空气力学) in the wild. “The findings may even provide insight into how to design better micro air

31、vehicles-tiny drones. This technology will be brilliantly useful,” says biomechanics expert Jim Usherwood of the United Kingdoms Royal Veterinary College in Hatfield. “High-resolution field studies like this have never been done before for birds.”For cliff swallows, the trouble starts when they retu

32、rn from wintering in South America to their summer homes in North America. After arrival, they seek out their old mud nestsusually located under concrete bridges and freeways-and start rebuilding their homes. But rather than hunt down a fresh supply of mud, some swallows prefer stealing supplies fro

33、m their more hardworking neighbors. Others take things further and will even lay an egg or two in their neighbors nest before taking off.Battles in the air follow if the invaders are caught in the act, and a new study takes advantage of these fights to learn how birds perform high-speed maneuvers (演

34、习). The team placed three cameras along a North Carolina lake crossed by a highway bridge that houses several cliff swallow nests and waited for the battles to commence.The team was surprised to learn that most of the time, chasers copied the move of fleeing invaders. Swallows also pull very hard tu

35、rns to escape an enemy, with one extreme case reaching 7.8 gravity. Fighter pilots usually pass out at about 5 or 6 gravity, which is why these experiments have earned interest, and partial funding, from the Office of Naval Research. The Navy may use the findings to build better guidance systems for

36、 micro air vehicles. However, the swallows biomechanics are complex, and now the team is simply trying to collect a few tricks.1、Why did the Usherwood carry out the studies?ATo guide a better design of air vehicles.BTo prove the swallows are better at flying.CTo experiment with its high-speed camera

37、s.DTo track how the swallows skim over lakes.2、What leads to the battles among the birds?ASharing food.BOccupying others nests.CSeizing mud for nesting.DCompeting for the use of bridges.3、Which can best replace the underlined word “commence” in paragraph 3?AcontinueBaccelerateCendDbegin4、What is the

39、ure journey.“It was really perfect,” said Julia Ruelle of her recent adventure to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness with three of her childhood friends. “By unplugging, we had an amazing time.”Last year, the 16-year-old took part in an essay contest and carried off a prize. The award was a 5

40、-day canoe and camping adventure with up to three friends. No parents or guides would be there.

41、ext day at 7 a.m., quickly developing a routine.“We were done paddling by noon,” Julia said. “We ate lunch at the campsites and then it was time for hammocks(吊床), reading, making friendship bracelets(手镯) and talking.”The girls all had some experience in the outdoors before.Anna had been to the Bound

42、ary Waters with her family. “I love how you are separated from everything in your life, especially technology,” Anna said. Without her phone, she said, “Im less worried about things.” Madeline, too, had been to the Boundary Waters a few years back. “But this time, I had to paddle right and set up ca

43、mp,” she said. The girls made fire and cooked meal together. No one was ever hungry or homesick, but they were nervous the final night as they waited out a thunderstorm. They left wet sleeping bags in one tent, and squeezed into another for the night. “Every thunderstorm in the Boundary Waters feels

44、 huge,” Julia said.On the car ride home, they were all on their phones catching up with friends. “It was a little at a loss turning my phone on,” said Anna. “Mental health can be improved so much in the Boundary Waters.

Would you mind walking down there and inviting her to come up here with the

49、 rest of us?”Brianna sighed. I could tell she didnt want to sacrifice precious minutes of her own recess to do what I was asking of her, but I also knew her heart. She often thought of others before herself - a rare character for anyone, much less a kid.Knowing this choice was hard for her, I pulled

50、 out a D-buck, our class currency. Though bribery (行贿) was not the ideal way to handle this situation, I needed her cooperation.“Here, Ill pay you for your time.”She offered an insincere smile, grasped the green paper, and headed down the hill.As the rest of the children screamed and laughed, my eye

51、s locked on Brianna as she neared the picnic table. Molly could be difficult, and I wouldnt have been surprised if she sent Brianna hack alone, refusing her invitation. When she encouraged herself to a standing position, I sighed with relief.A minute later, I felt a lap on my shoulder. “Here, Mrs. D

52、” She handed me the D-buck.“Why?” I asked.“I shouldnt keep this.” Her eyes fell to her feet, guilt radiating from her quiet voice. “I dont want Molly to think I only went to get her so I could earn a D-buck.
