A beach clean-up brings people together to remove rubbish from a beach. My husband, Josh, and I go to as many beach clean-ups as we can. We even wrote about how many beach clean-ups we have joined on our blog. It is one of our favorite things to do.
You might not think that picking up rubbish sounds like fun. But cleaning up a beach, especially if there is a lot of rubbish, is something that is well worth doing. A beach clean-up is a good way to help the environment, get exercise and meet new people. Some beaches are covered with so much rubbish that cleaning them up might seem impossible. But you can achieve a lot in just a few hours with a group of volunteers. By the time you are done, you will be encouraged by the results. You might have even made a few new friends!
My first time joining a beach clean-up was in Costa Rica. Our group walked 30 minutes along a trail（小路）to a small beach called “Playa Basura”, which means “rubbish beach”. A lot of rubbish is washed up on the beach there. Playa Basura is right next to a nature reserve（自然保护区）. The beach often looks like it is covered with colorful rocks. But the rocks are just small pieces of plastic. Most of the rubbish comes from other areas. It washes down rivers and into the ocean. Then the currents（水流）carry the rubbish to Playa Basura.
Our group worked hard for about two hours and filled over 100 trash bags. The difference was amazing. But every year the rainy season brings more rubbish to Playa Basura. So, it is lucky that there is a clean-up at Playa Basura every year. Rubbish on beaches like Playa Basura won’t end until people stop rubbish from getting into the oceans. But every beach clean-up helps.

New research says mosquitoes（蚊子）are most attracted to a special color.
The researchers from the University of Washington tracked（追踪）the behavior of female mosquitoes when they were given different types of things with different colors and smells. The researchers put the mosquitoes into small labs and offer them different things, like a colored dot or a person’s hand. When mosquitoes look for food, they first find that you’re around by smelling carbon dioxide from your breath. That causes them to look for certain colors and shapes that could indicate（暗示）food, the researchers explained.
When there was no smell like carbon dioxide in the lab, the mosquitoes paid no attention to the colored dot, no matter what color it was. But once researchers sprayed（喷洒）carbon dioxide in the lab, they flew toward dots that were red, orange or black. Dots that were green, blue, or purple were not noticed.
“Light colors are dangerous to mosquitoes, which is why many insects avoid biting in direct sunlight,” a biologist says. “Mosquitoes are easily affected to death because of being short of water. But darker colors are different. They can take in and remain heat, allowing mosquitoes to locate（锁定）a host.”
If you have the choice of wearing lighter or darker clothes when you know you’ll be going into an area with lots of mosquitoes, you’d better choose lighter ones.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

C. They should wear thick clothes. D. They had better wear short clothes.
14. In which part of the magazine can we find the passage

中心概括本文主要讲述了蚊子最容易被特别的颜色所吸引。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据“If you have the choice of wearing lighter or darker clothes when you know you’ll be going into an area with lots of mosquitoes, you’d better choose lighter ones.”可知，如果你知道要进入蚊子多的地区，可以选择穿浅色或深色的衣服，你最好选择浅色的。由此可知，你的衣着颜色会轻易地吸引蚊子。故选D。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“When mosquitoes look for food, they first find that you’re around by smelling carbon dioxide from your breath. That causes them to look for certain colors and shapes that could indicate（暗示）food, the researchers explained.”可知，当蚊子寻找食物时，它们首先会通过闻到你呼吸中的一氧化碳来发现你在附近。这导致它们寻找那些可能表明食物的某些颜色和形状。因此代词them指代蚊子mosquitoes。故选B。

I have made progress

【答案】
I have made progress
I used to be a shy girl who was afraid of speaking in front of the people. As a result, I made few friends and often felt lonely. Finally, I made up my mind to be active and outgoing. At first, it was difficult for me to join in after-school activities. Luckily, with the help of my friends, I managed to express my thoughts and helped others with their problems in my spare time. Now, I’m not a shy girl any more. I have made much progress.
I used to be poor at English, especially in reading and writing. The biggest problem was that after reading a passage, I couldn’t fully understand it. This made me very sad and stressed. However, I didn’t give up. I kept on remembering new words, listening to English songs, reading English articles and writing English diaries whenever I had a chance. Little by little, I made much progress in English and also I became more and more confident.
What great progress I have made!

A beach clean-up brings people together to remove rubbish from a beach. My husband, Josh, and I go to as many beach clean-ups as we can. We even wrote about how many beach clean-ups we have joined on our blog. It is one of our favorite things to do.
You might not think that picking up rubbish sounds like fun. But cleaning up a beach, especially if there is a lot of rubbish, is something that is well worth doing. A beach clean-up is a good way to help the environment, get exercise and meet new people. Some beaches are covered with so much rubbish that cleaning them up might seem impossible. But you can achieve a lot in just a few hours with a group of volunteers. By the time you are done, you will be encouraged by the results. You might have even made a few new friends!
My first time joining a beach clean-up was in Costa Rica. Our group walked 30 minutes along a trail（小路）to a small beach called “Playa Basura”, which means “rubbish beach”. A lot of rubbish is washed up on the beach there. Playa Basura is right next to a nature reserve（自然保护区）. The beach often looks like it is covered with colorful rocks. But the rocks are just small pieces of plastic. Most of the rubbish comes from other areas. It washes down rivers and into the ocean. Then the currents（水流）carry the rubbish to Playa Basura.
Our group worked hard for about two hours and filled over 100 trash bags. The difference was amazing. But every year the rainy season brings more rubbish to Playa Basura. So, it is lucky that there is a clean-up at Playa Basura every year. Rubbish on beaches like Playa Basura won’t end until people stop rubbish from getting into the oceans. But every beach clean-up helps.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
6. Where does the writer usually write about her beach clean-up experiences
A. On a volunteer website. B. On her blog.
C In her diary. D. In her notebook.
7. What is a beach clean-up in the writer’s eyes
A. A good way to spend our free time.
B. A good way to play happily on the beach.
C. A good way to be helpful to the environment.
D. A good way to discover the secrets of nature.
8. Which is TRUE about the writer’s first beach clean-up
A. It was a beach called “Costa Rica”.
B. Their group walked 30 kilometers.
C. There were many colorful rocks there.
D. Most of the rubbish there comes from other areas.
9. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. It is unlucky that there is a clean-up at Playa Basura every year.
B. Every year the dry season brings more rubbish to Playa Basura.
C. The writer’s husband never joined the beach clean-up.
D. Every beach clean-up helps though rubbish on beaches won’t end soon.
10. What is the purpose of this passage
A. To ask people to play on the beach.
B. To express the writer’s love for beach clean-ups.
C. To encourage more people to join beach clean-ups.

C
New research says mosquitoes（蚊子）are most attracted to a special color.
The researchers from the University of Washington tracked（追踪）the behavior of female mosquitoes when they were given different types of things with different colors and smells. The researchers put the mosquitoes into small labs and offer them different things, like a colored dot or a person’s hand. When mosquitoes look for food, they first find that you’re around by smelling carbon dioxide from your breath. That causes them to look for certain colors and shapes that could indicate（暗示）food, the researchers explained.
When there was no smell like carbon dioxide in the lab, the mosquitoes paid no attention to the colored dot, no matter what color it was. But once researchers sprayed（喷洒）carbon dioxide in the lab, they flew toward dots that were red, orange or black. Dots that were green, blue, or purple were not noticed.
“Light colors are dangerous to mosquitoes, which is why many insects avoid biting in direct sunlight,” a biologist says. “Mosquitoes are easily affected to death because of being short of water. But darker colors are different. They can take in and remain heat, allowing mosquitoes to locate（锁定）a host.”
If you have the choice of wearing lighter or darker clothes when you know you’ll be going into an area with lots of mosquitoes, you’d better choose lighter ones.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
11. What makes you attract mosquitoes easily
A. Your height. B. The color of your hair.
C. Your weight. D. The color you’re wearing.
12. What does the underlined word “them” refer to
A. Researchers. B. Mosquitoes.
C. Things. D. Insects.
13. What should people do to reduce mosquito biting according to the passage
A. They should wear lighter clothes. B. They should wear darker clothes.
C. They should wear thick clothes. D. They had better wear short clothes.
14. In which part of the magazine can we find the passage
A. Education. B. Culture. C. Science. D. Pets.
15. What is the best title for the passage
A. How do mosquitoes bite
B. What color clothes should you buy
C. Do you like light colors or dark colors
D. What color are mosquitoes most attracted to
D
