2．My quest started when I was on the New York subway.Some children were whining.Four trains came screaming into the station at once.I put my hands over my ears and cowered （蜷縮）—the noise was deafenjye.aig.In cities，the ever-present dull background roar of planes，cars，machinery and voices is a fact of life.There is no escape from it and it was beginning to drive me mad.
In an attempt to recapture some peace，I decided to go on a mission to find the quietest place on Earth to discover whether absolute silence exists.The one place I was most excited about visiting was an anechoic chamber （消聲室） in Minnesota.
Ironically，far from being peaceful，most people find its perfect quiet upsetting.And yet I booked a 45-minute session—no one had managed to stay in for that long before.When the heavy door shut behind me，I was plunged into darkness—all lights were turned off because they could also make a noise.
For the first few seconds，being in such a quiet place felt like heaven，a remedy for my unsettled nerves.Then，after a minute or two，I became aware of the sound of my breathing.As the minutes ticked by，the beat of my heart became apparent.Then I heard a strange，metallic scraping noise.Was I hallucinating？The feeling of peace was spoiled by a sensation of disappointment—this place wasn't quiet at all.
Then I stopped obsessing about what bodily functions I could hear and began to enjoy it.I didn't feel afraid and came out only because my time was up.Everyone was impressed that I'd beaten the record，but having spent so long searching for quiet，I was comfortable with the feeling of absolute stillness.Afterward，I felt wonderfully rested and calm.
My desire for silence changed my life.I found making space for moments of quiet in my day is the key to happiness.If you can occasionally become master of your own sound environment—from turning off the phone to taking a trip to the countryside，you'll become a lot more accepting of the noises of everyday life.

3．Mosquitofish may look small，but these invasive fish are a threat.Outside of their range，they defeat other freshwater creatures，like fishes and tadpoles，and feast on their eggs.Since they have few natural predators （捕食者），their population goes unchecked as they cause damage to native wildlife.
Fortunately，scientists have now invented a new tool meant to intimidate mosquitofish：a robotic fish. "Instead of killing them one by one，we're presenting an approach that can inform better strategies to control them，" said Giovanni Polverino，a biologist at the University of Western Australia. "We made their worst nightmare become real：a robot that scares the mosquitofish but not the other animals around it."
The robot，which resembles a largemouth bass，one of the mosquitofish's natural predators，was equipped with a camera to recognize mosquitofish and tadpoles.The researchers set up 12 tanks with six mosquitofish and six tadpoles in each one and allowed the creatures to adapt for a week before meeting the robot.For one hour twice a week for five weeks，each group was placed in a tank with the robot.
In the robotic fish's presence，the mosquitofish spent more time getting together，and their swimming became more unstable.With the mosquitofish anxious and scared，the tadpoles ventured out more.These effects even lasted for weeks after the final meet with the robot.When the creatures returned to their tanks，the mosquitofish swam at a lower speed and didn't eat as much，which are signs of anxiety.No change，on the other hand，can be detected on tadpoles.
What's more，the mosquitofish spent so much energy living in terror that they lost weight.Males' body shapes also changed to become more streamlined，likely so they can escape more quickly when they're scared.
Though the study showed promising results，these robots can't be released into the water yet.The team still needs to understand the long-term impacts on other wildlife and downstream effects on the ecosystem as a whole.But Polverino says they achieved their main goal：to prove fear can affect the survival of mosquitofish.
（1）What does the underlined word "intimidate" mean in paragraph 2？
A．Poison.
B．Attract.
C．Frighten.
D．Recognize.
（2）How did the researchers carry out the experiment？
A．By comparing behaviors of two species.
B．By interviewing the inventor of the robot.
C．By collecting data from previous studies.
D．By observing the life cycle of mosquitofish.
（3）What was the change of the mosquitofish？
A．They became stronger.
B．They were less active.
C．They started attacking easily.
D．They showed little change.
（4）What is Polverino's attitude towards the robotic fish？
A．Approving.
B．Disappointed.
C．Objective.
D．Skeptical.組卷：6引用：1難度：0.5

9．When things went wrong，Ittleby Fein always had something nice to say.
When Dad forgot about the pizza and it burned，Ittleby comforted him by saying it would still taste good.And he was right.The pizza edges were dark and crispy，but the middle wasn't half bad.When Ittleby's friend David got a low score on the spelling test，Ittleby said that he would do better next time.And，sure enough，David studied hard and got 100 percent the next week.When his teacher，Mr D，bumped into a bookstand in the library，Ittleby told him not to worry as Mrs Bog wouldn't be upset.He was right.The librarian just laughed and helped pick up the books.
Ittleby looked on the bright side.And everyone liked that about him.Everyone，that is，except Hazel.Hazel was the new kid in the class.On her first day，Ittleby said， "Nice to meet you，Hazel.I think you'll like it here." Hazel stared at him. "I doubt it." Ittleby didn't know what to do.He'd never met anyone like Hazel.
When Mr D said they'd have recess （休息） inside because of the rain，Ittleby said， "Every cloud has a silver lining." "A silver lining？" Hazel shook her head. "Clouds are white.Maybe gray.Where do you get this stuff？" Ittleby felt as if the wind had been knocked out of him.Outside the window，the clouds had rolled over the sun.The room felt darker.
"Bad things come in threes，" said Hazel. "No outdoor recess is number one.What will the second thing be？" The class didn't have to wait long to find out.
Greta was carrying a tray （托盤） of paints during art class.She tripped （絆倒），and the paint went flying.There was blue on the floor and red and black on the walls.Hazel declared it to be the second bad thing.Ittleby didn't know what to say.Hazel seemed so sure about the Rule of Three Bad Things.
Emma came to look at Ittleby's painting. "It's beautiful.I especially like the grassland." she said.
