11．A project in Kenya is using biogas（沼氣）technology to attack two major pollution problems with one device：a machine that changes waste such as invasive water hyacinth（入侵性水葫蘆）into cleaner cooking fuel.
The project from Biogas International，a Kenyan energy technology company，has so far provided 50 of the Flexi Biogas devices to homes in the city of Kisumu in western Kenya.The main device is called a digester（浸煮器）because it breaks down plant waste to produce gas.The digesters will permit families to stop using wood or coal，both of which produce dangerous smoke.People will also be able to cook foods faster using the gas.Tony Otieno used the gas from a digester to cook tea for his 70-year-old grandmother Margaret.He said， "The gas has no smoke，does not smell，and it is much faster than the jiko（a stove that uses wood-coal）."
Some of the families received a gas stove as part of the project，to replace their jiko.The machines process plant waste such as water hyacinth.That plan has covered large parts of Lake Victoria.The weed-like plant harms living things in the lake including fish.The plant also helps bacteria and mosquitoes increase，causing health risks to local communities.
Dominic Wanjihia Kahumbu is head of Biogas International.He said that at a cost of ＄650，most families in the city do not have enough money to buy the device.Although the technology can be on a small or large scale，he said，each system costs a lot to make.As a result，it is unlikely that the company will make a profit for at least another five years.He said the company needs new investment.
Two larger versions of the equipment are still in the testing stage.They would produce clean fuel on an larger scale for restaurants，chicken farms and fish drying facilities in the area.
（1）What do the two major pollution problems refer to？
A．Bacteria and mosquitoes.
B．Plant waste and fuel pollution.
C．Biogas and water hyacinth.
D．Jiko and dangerous smoke.
（2）Which of the following can best describe the device？
A．Large.
B．Cheap.
C．Environment-friendly.
D．Nice-looking.
（3）What can we know about the water hyacinth from the text？
A．It helps fish increase.
B．It has covered Kenya.
C．It's a threat to the local people.
D．It leads to the invention of digester.
（4）What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the device？
A．Its kinds.
B．Its disadvantages.
C．Its future.
D．Its function.組卷：7引用：2難度：0.5 -
12． Ten percent of the world's species live in the Amazon Rainforest，including some of the most interesting and unique creatures on Earth.Not only that，but some Amazon native species directly benefit humans.If you like chocolate，and coffee，you've benefited from Amazonian plants.Even more importantly，the Amazon Rainforest keeps our air clean and breathable.
Cognizant of its great impact on the planet，activists are working to stop deforestation.A new algorithm （算法） that predicts which areas are at most risk of habitat destruction gives Amazon defenders a hand in their fight against deforestation.
The Trans-Amazonian highway is a road that stretches across the Amazon Rainforest.Branching off of this official highway are around two million miles of unofficial roads，many built illegally by loggers，miners，and residents of unauthorized settlements.Nearly half of the rainforest has one of these roads，which Carlos Souza Jr，a researcher monitoring the Amazon，calls "lines of destruction"，within six miles.Imazon，a Brazilian research institution published a study showing that 95 percent of deforestation occurred within three miles of the "lines of destruction".Additionally，90 percent of forest fires were next to illegal Amazonian roads.That makes finding these roads key to preventing deforestation and damage.However，in a two and half million square rainforest，that's easier said than done.Previously activists manually （人工地） examined over satellite images to spot these roads.They also recorded the result of deforestation.But now，technology may help activists become more proactive （主動出擊的）.
Imazon researchers fed the manual data into an artificial intelligence algorithm to train it to find the unauthorized roads.The program predicts where there may be roads，with about 70 percent accuracy.Its outputs are then confirmed by researchers using satellite images.
The PrevisIA map and statistics can help governments channel deforestation prevention efforts to threatened areas.The hope is that by identifying the areas in advance，politicians and activists can take proactive steps against the illegal roads，and prevent deforestation before it happens.
（1）What does the underlined phrase "Cognizant of" in Paragraph 2 mean？
A．Causing.
B．Realizing.
C．Recalling.
D．Multiplying.
（2）What can we know from the third paragraph？
A．Many illegal loggers will be punished.
B．There exist many risks near the highway.
C．Forest fires did little damage to the rainforest.
D．Fund is the key to constructing this highway.
（3）How did Imazon researchers identify the unauthorized roads？
A．Through locals.
B．Through the map.
C．Through field trips.
D．Through technology.
（4）In which section may the text appear in a newspaper？
A．Culture.
B．Travel.
C．Education.
D．Environment.組卷：4引用：3難度：0.5 -
13．"Medicine，law，business，engineering，these are noble pursuits，and necessary to sustain life.But poetry，beauty，romance，love，these are what we stay alive for. " This is dedicated to my first-year self four years ago，who was addicted to getting good grades，and failed to seek the happiness found in everything else that college has to offer.
Like some people，I grew up with a family that valued academics over all else，who gave you a little extra love when you were doing great in your classes，and took it away when you didn't.As a result，my self-worth became tied to my academic success.As an international student，I sometimes felt our parents didn't quite understand the heavy academic weight.
There is a difference between trying to always better yourself for yourself，and simply putting too much on your plate until you burn out from attempting to live up to certain expectations.We should all strive to do the former，but unfortunately our mindsets have been always wired to follow the latter.
I used to believe school killed the creative spirit inside all of us，but as I get older and further into my academic career，I find that it is we who make the choice to kill that creative spirit.I am definitely not saying that you should throw your GPA out of the window and go painting all day.However，we should all try to develop a long-sighted perspective on how we want to shape our lives.Take some classes on topics that you're genuinely interested in learning about，not just passing.Join clubs or work on projects that resonate with you and push you beyond your boundaries.And most of all，accept the fact that failure and loss are sometimes inevitable in life.
I promise you，when you look back at these four years，you will not remember the good grades or the bad grades，but you will hold in your memory the connections you made with people，the things that inspired you to create and the times you learned something special.And so I ask you now，what do you want to get out of college？
（1）Who is the author of the passage？
A．A professor.
B．A freshman.
C．A parent.
D．A graduate.
（2）What did the author's parents stress most on his college life？
A．Seeking happiness.
B．Getting good grades.
C．Building self-worth.
D．Developing various interests.
（3）What is bettering ourselves for according to the author？
A．To be a better self.
B．To realize our dreams.
C．To push our boundaries.
D．To live up to others' expectations.
（4）Which of the following may the author probably agree with？
A．Academic growth helps to promote creativity.
B．Students themselves have a say in their hobbies.
C．Failures can be avoided with more efforts put in.
D．School is to blame for killing students' creativity.組卷：11引用：3難度：0.5 -
