寻找大南瓜

那个周六我们只想找到一些南瓜。我们所寻找的是可以做成万圣节南瓜灯的南瓜。为了装饰我们的前廊，我们需要很多。

我和弟弟蒂姆去了我们通常买南瓜的地方。但是她们说她们只有大约40个小到无法雕刻的南瓜。

现在我们该怎么做?我们回家，想问问爸爸妈妈是否有什么主意。爸爸说她要带我们去看看路边的蔬菜里有没有南瓜。”我怀疑她们也不会有南瓜了。”她说。“毕竟现在已经是十月份了。”

于是我们挤进车里，驶出城。爸爸曾经记得的蔬菜摊已经不在了!而且我们也没看到其它的摊子。

我想妈妈在看到了我们的那一刻，她就知道我们无功而返了，但是她说我们应该和她去碰碰运气。这次是她开车。她似乎知道自己要去哪里。

当她把车开进市政厅的停车场时，我们看到了一个农贸市场。哇!那里有成千上万个大小不一的南瓜。

我们把自己的钱用在了最大的那颗南瓜上，这也是我们有史以来拥有的最大的一个。我们也要了一些普通大小的。这样爸爸妈妈也可以雕刻一些南瓜灯。现在我们的门廊充满了意趣!

Ш.阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2.5分：满分50分）

阅读下列短文，并做每篇后面的题目。从四个选项中，选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

As a scientist researching marine plastic pollution,I thought I had seen a lot.Then,early in 2017,I heard from Alex Weber,a high school student in California.

She was looking for guidance on an unusual environmental problem.While snorkeling(浮潜）in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary near the town of Carmel-by-the-Sea, Alex and her friends had repeatedly come across large numbers of golf balls on the ocean floor.As environmentally conscious teens,they started removing golf balls from the water,one by one.By the time Alex emailed me,they had collected over 10,000 golf balls.

Golf balls sink,so they don't become eyesores for future golfers and beachgoers.As a result,this issue had gone largely unnoticed.Alex wanted to create a lasting solution to this problem.I told her what she should do was to carefully plan and record all future golf ball collections.

Alex,her friends and her father tried their best.By mid-2018 the results were amazing:

They had collected nearly 40,000 golf balls near coastal golf courses.And following Alex's encouragement,employees started to collect golf balls from beaches next to their courses,amassing (累积）more than 10,000 additional balls.

In total,we collected 50,681 golf balls from the shoreline and shallow waters. By multiplying the average number of balls lost per round played(1-3)and the average number of rounds played yearly at one golf course,we estimated that players at these popular courses may lose over 100,000 balls per year to the surrounding environment.

Thanks to Alex Weber,we now know that golf balls erode (腐蚀）at sea over time,producing dangerous microplastics. Recovering the balls soon after they are hit into the ocean is one way to reduce their impacts.Alex is also working with people in charge to develop cleanup measures that can prevent golf ball pollution in these waters from ever reaching these levels again.Although her study was local,it sends a positive message:If a high school student can accomplish this much through hard work and dedication,anyone can.

全文翻译：

作为一名研究海洋塑料污染的科学家，我认为我已经看到了很多。然而，在2017年初，我收到了加州高中生亚历克斯·韦伯(Alex Weber)的来信。

北京博飞华侨港澳台学校提醒：她为了一个不寻常的环境问题上寻求指导。她在靠近海边的卡梅尔镇的蒙特利湾国家海洋保护区浮潜时，亚历克斯和她的朋友们多次在海底发现大量的高尔夫球。作为具有环保意识的青少年，她们开始一个接一个地从水中取出高尔夫球。到亚历克斯给我发邮件的时候，她们已经收集了超过1万个高尔夫球。

高尔夫球会下沉，所以它们不会成为未来高尔夫球手和海滩游客的眼中钉。因此，这个问题基本上没有引起人们的注意。亚历克斯想为这个问题创造一个持久的解决方案。我告诉她，她应该做的是仔细计划和记录所有她们将来到底能做到什么。

亚历克斯，她的朋友和她的父亲尽了最大的努力。到2018年年中，结果令人惊讶: 她们在沿海高尔夫球场附近收集了近4万个高尔夫球。在亚历克斯例子的鼓励下，员工们开始在球场旁边的海滩上收集高尔夫球，共收集了1万多个球。

我们总共从海岸线和浅水区收集了50,681个高尔夫球。通过将每轮比赛丢掉的平均球数(1-3个)与一个高尔夫球场每年的平均打高尔夫的场次相乘，我们估计，在那些受欢迎的球场上，球员每年可能会因为周围的环境丧失10万个球。

北京博飞华侨港澳台学校提醒：多亏了亚历克斯·韦伯，我们现在知道高尔夫球在海上会随着时间的推移而侵蚀(蚀)，并产生危险的微塑料。在球被打进海洋后尽快回收是减少其影响的一种方法。亚历克斯还在与负责制定清理措施的人合作，以防止高尔夫球对这些水域的污染达到危险程度。虽然她的研究是在当地进行的，但它传递了一个积极的信息:如果一个高中生通过努力和奉献都能取得这么大的成就，那么任何人都可以。

Although April Fools' Day,also called All Fools' Day,has been celebrated for several centuries by different cultures,its exact origins remain a mystery.

Some historians suggest that April Fools' Day dates back to 1582,when France switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar,as called for by the Council of Trent in1563.People who were slow to get the news or failed to recognize that the start of the new year had moved to January 1 and continued to celebrate it during the last week of March.And April 1 became the butt of jokes and hoaxes(恶作剧).

Historians have also linked April Fools' Day to festivals such as Hilaria,which was celebrated in ancient Rome at the end of March and involved people dressing up in disguise.There's also speculation that April Fools' Day was tied to the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere,when Mother Nature fooled people with changing,unpredictable weather.

April Fools＇Day spread throughout Britain during the 18th century.In Scotland，the tradition became a two-day event，starting with＂hunting the gowk (a word for cuckoo bird，a symbol for fool)，”in which people were sent on fake errands(跑腿).

In modern times，people have gone to great lengths to create elaborate(煞费苦心的)

April Fools' Day hoaxes.Newspapers, radio and TV stations and Web sites have participated in the April 1 tradition of reporting outrageous fictional claims that have fooled their audiences.

In 1957,the BBC reported that Swiss farmers were experiencing a record spaghetti crop and showed video clips of people harvesting noodles from trees; numerous viewers were fooled.In 1985,Sports Illustrated tricked many of its readers when it ran a made-up article about a rookie pitcher named Sidd Finch who could throw a fastball over 168 miles per hour.In 1996,Taco Bell,the fast-food restaurant chain,duped people when it announced it had agreed to purchase Philadelphia's Liberty Bell and intended to rename it the Taco Liberty Bell. In 1998,after Burger King advertised a"Left-Handed Whopper,"scores of clueless customers requested the fake sandwich.

全文翻译：

虽然愚人节，也被称为所有傻瓜节，在不同的文化中已经被庆祝了几个世纪，但它的确切起源仍然是个谜。

一些历史学家认为，愚人节可以追溯到1582年，当时法国根据1563年特伦特会议的要求，从儒略历改为公历。有些人反应迟钝，或者没有意识到新年的开始已经移到了1月1日，他们继续在3月的最后一周庆祝新年。4月1日也就成了笑柄和恶作剧的对象。

北京博飞华侨港澳台学校提醒：历史学家还将愚人节与古罗马的希拉里节(Hilaria)等节日联系起来。希拉里节是在三月底庆祝的，人们会乔装打扮。还有人猜测愚人节与北半球春天的第一天有关，这一天大自然母亲用变化莫测的天气愚弄了人们。

愚人节在18世纪传遍了英国。在苏格兰，这个传统变成了一个为期两天的活动，从“猎鸟”开始，人们被派去做假差事。

在现代，人们不遗余力地创造精致的愚人节的恶作剧。报纸、广播电台、电视台和网站都加入了4月1日的传统，报道一些令人发指的虚构言论，愚弄了他们的听众。

北京博飞华侨港澳台学校提醒：1957年，英国广播公司(BBC)报道说，瑞士农民正在享受意大利面的丰收，并且还播放了人们从树上收割面条的视频片段;而且许多观众都被骗了。1985年，《体育画报》(Sports Illustrated)欺骗了许多读者，它刊登了一篇杜撰的文章，说一位名叫西德·芬奇(Sidd Finch)的新秀投手能投出时速超过168英里的快球。1996年，快餐连锁店塔可钟欺骗了人们，它宣布要购买费城的自由钟，并打算将其重新命名为塔可自由钟。1998年，在汉堡王宣传了一款“左撇子皇堡”之后，许多不知情的顾客要求购买这种假三明治。

60.What is in common among countries celebrating April Fools' Day?

A.They adopted the same calendar.

B.They have some stories related to it.

Through the centuries，there have been many different approaches to education in the classroom.Some have emphasized discipline and rote learning;others have stressed a more open approach.One of the more innovative(创新的) and influential educational philosophies of the 20th century was developed and promoted by a teacher whose name still lives on as a prominent(杰出的)type of school:Maria Montessori.

Born in Italy in 1870,Maria Montessori was exceptional from the beginning.The only female attendee of an all-boys school,she excelled at her studies and eventually earned a degree that made her one of Italy's first female doctors.She became interested in education, and in 1907,opened a child-care center in Rome called Casa del Bambini(Children's House)that allowed her to put her educational theories into practice.

Foremost among her theories was the idea that children essentially teach themselves; the teacher's primary responsibility is to create the appropriate environment for learning and provide the spark that allows children to develop naturally.Given the ability to be mobile and learn from their surroundings rather than being forced to sit still and be lectured to,most children,even rough inner-city kids,flourished under her system.

What came to be called the Montessori Method was a great success in Italy and soon spread to the rest of the world.Montessori later developed materials geared (适合）to the process of"discovery learning"that she had set in motion.Although in the United States the Method was criticized and fell into disfavor during the war years,it re-emerged in the 1960s and has remained an important part of America's educational landscape since.

Montessori devoted her life to developing her method, and she became a successful lecturer and teacher trainer.She also became interested in peace education and brought it into her work.She had been named for the Nobel Peace Prize for the third time when she passed away in 1952,at the age of 81.

全文翻译：

几个世纪以来，在课堂上出现了许多不同的教育方法。一些人强调纪律和死记硬背;另一些人则强调更开放的方法。20世纪最具创新性和影响力的教育哲学之一是由一位老师发展和推广的，她的名字仍然是一所著名的学校:玛丽亚·蒙台梭利。

1870年出生在意大利的玛丽亚·蒙台梭利从一开始就与众不同。作为一所男校唯一的女学生，她在学业上表现出色，最终获得了学位，成为意大利最早的女医生之一。随后她开始对教育感兴趣，并于1907年在罗马开设了一家名为Casa del Bambini(儿童之家)的儿童保育中心，使她能够将自己的教育理论付诸实践。

北京博飞华侨港澳台学校提醒：在她的理论中，最重要的是孩子们基本上是自学的;教师的主要责任是创造合适的学习环境，提供让孩子自然发展的火花。大多数孩子，甚至是贫民区的孩子，在她的教育下都能茁壮成长，因为他们可以活动，可以从周围环境中学习，而不是被迫坐着不动，听别人说教。

后来被称为蒙台梭利教学法的方法在意大利取得了巨大成功，并很快传播到世界其他地方。蒙台梭利后来开发了与她开创的“发现学习”过程相适应的教材。虽然在美国，这种方法在战争年代受到批评和不受欢迎，但它在20世纪60年代重新出现，并一直是美国教育景观的重要组成部分。

蒙台梭利一生致力于发展她的方法，她成为了一名成功的讲师和教师培训师。她也对和平教育产生了兴趣，并将其带入了自己的工作中。她于1952年去世，享年81岁，这是她第三次获得诺贝尔和平奖。

67.What is Montessori's major belief in education?

A.School education is not necessary。

B.Children's houses provide good education.

C.More schools should be built for the poor.

D.Children can learn naturally with some support.

Dolphins have been known to show many human-like behavioral characteristics. These include forming complex relationships to accomplish common goals, teaching one another survival skills, and even "babysitting"each other's kids.Now,some researchers have discovered another thing the intelligent mammals share with humans—a love for television!

For their research,Kelly A.Winship and Holli C.Eskelinen got 11 bottlenose and five rough-toothed dolphins.The mammals were treated to two TV shows-episodes of Planet Earth starring other dolphins as well as ones with just scenery,and clips from the popular kids' series,Spongebob Squarepants. The researchers say the dolphins did not seem to care what was being played.They were equally attracted by both-the realistic imagery of Planer Earth and the animation (动画）in Spongebob Squarepants.

Interestingly however was that the male dolphins spent more time staring at the screens than the females.They also responded more strongly to the programming by either showing aggression (indicated by head jerks or a jaw clap),or interest (shown by raising their chin or pressing their foreheads against the TV),or even blowing bubbles (indicating interest or aggression). Winship and Eskelinen, who published their findings in the journal Zoo Biology ，believe the display of aggression was most likely a result of the frustration(挫折) resulting from the inability to physically interact with,or control,the TV.

Though there is a lot more to learn about the mammals' television preferences, the scientists believe suitable programming could be used as part of training programs for dolphins unfit to be released (放生）in the wild.The researchers also think monitoring their response to different kinds of shows could provide scientists some insight into the mammals' thinking process.

Dolphins are not the only animals that seem to share our passion for television.As most pet owners are aware,dogs love it as well.In fact,dogs enjoy the entertainment so much that there is now a special cable channel, DogTV, dedicated to creating special programming to keep doggies happy while their humans are at work!

全文翻译：

北京博飞华侨港澳台学校提醒：众所周知，海豚表现出许多与人类相似的行为特征。这包括建立复杂的关系来实现共同的目标，互相传授生存技能，甚至“照看”对方的孩子。现在，一些研究人员发现了聪明的哺乳动物与人类共有的另一件事—对电视的热爱!

在他们的研究中，Kelly A.Winship和Holli C.Eskelinen找到了11只宽吻海豚和5只粗齿海豚。这些哺乳动物观看了两部电视节目—由其他海豚主演的《地球行星》和只有风景的《海绵宝宝》，以及受欢迎的儿童连续剧《海绵宝宝》的片段。研究人员表示，海豚似乎并不关心播放的是什么。但他们会被《Planer Earth》的现实形象和《海绵宝宝》的动画所吸引。

然而有趣的是，雄性海豚盯着屏幕的时间比雌性海豚多。他们对节目的反应也更强烈，要么表现出攻击性(头部抽搐或拍下巴)，要么表现出兴趣(抬起下巴或把额头贴在电视上)，甚至吹泡泡(表示兴趣或攻击性)。温希普和埃斯基利宁在《动物园生物学》杂志上发表了他们的研究结果，他们认为，这种攻击性的表现很可能是由于无法与电视互动或控制电视而产生的挫败感。

北京博飞华侨港澳台学校提醒：尽管关于这种哺乳动物的电视偏好还有很多需要了解的地方，但科学家们相信，合适的节目可以作为训练不适合放归野外的海豚的计划的一部分。研究人员还认为，监测它们对不同节目的反应可以让科学家们对哺乳动物的思维过程有一些了解。

海豚并不是唯一一种和我们一样喜欢看电视的动物。正如大多数宠物主人所知，狗也喜欢看电视。事实上，狗狗们非常喜欢娱乐，现在有一个专门的有线电视频道，DogTV，它致力于制作特别节目让狗狗们在主人工作的时候也能开心一下!

69.What does the author want to show by giving the example of "babysitting"?

A.Dolphins are protective. B.Dolphins are intelligent.

C.Dolphins and humans are similar. D.Dolphins feed their young collectively

解析：本题属于例证法，北京博飞华侨港澳台学校提醒：例子无非在说明自己的观点：Dolphins have been known to show many human-like behavioral characteristics. 故答案为C。

70.Why did Winship and Eskelinen get so many dolphins?
