一、阅读理解(共15 小题；每小题 3分，满分 45 分）

An important person who has made a huge impact on my life is Savannah. Savannah is

my twin sister and my life would be completely different without her. Everyone always

thinks it’s amazing to have a twin and it is but it’s also not. People always beautify having a

twin. They say it’s natural to be good friends, which is true, but nobody ever talks about the

negative side of it.

People also say things like “Who’s the smarter twin?” As twins, we are constantly

getting compared. In the second grade, she got admitted to a class for advanced students. In

6th grade she was put into advanced math. I finally got put into advanced math for 8th grade

but it still wasn’t enough because by then she was in a class that was two years ahead and

mine was just one. So people called me the dumb twin.

I played soccer from the ages 5-9. I quit when I was 9 because people decided Savannah

was better and I didn’t want to hear it anymore. She still plays. We also played softball

together when we were 10-11. I quit that too mainly for the same reason.

One day when I was in 7th grade, Savannah, our friends and I were at top golf for one of

their birthdays. We were almost done playing. My friend Allison said, “Savannah，how does

it feel to be losing to the unathletic twin?” Allison didn’t play any sports either，but since she

wasn’t a twin, she wasn’t getting compared to anyone.

I could write a million stories about who’s the prettier twin? Who’s the uglier twin?

Who’s the funnier twin? It never really ends. Even though we get compared, I still love

Savannah and she has made such a huge impact on my life.

As I’ve gotten older, it has less of an effect on me when people compare us. I have

realized that there is always going to be someone out there comparing us and there is nothing

I can do about it. I am growing into my own person.

If you live in San Diego, you’ve probably noticed some strangely coloured water on the

beach lately. You might wonder about red tide, but it’s actually an intentional job. Scientists

at UC San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography and University of Washington have

been experimenting with dyeing ( 给 … …染色 ) the ocean at San Diego beach pink. What

could they possibly be up to?

This is being done for a study that examines how fresh water on the outlet of the sea is

intermixing with the ocean. The experiment is called Plumes in Nearshore Conditions

(PiNC). “I’m excited because this research hasn’t been done before and it’s a really unique

experiment,” said Sarah Giddings, a Scripps coastal oceanographer leading the PiNC study.

“The aim is to understand how fresh water interacts with ocean waves ，since it is usually

warmer than ocean water and more floating. The researchers are hoping that this pink dye

experiment will help them record more about how pollutants and sediments ( 沉积物) are

distributed in the ocean water through these additions of fresh water.

The fresh water is dyed pink so that the team can easily keep track of it when fresh water

is added to the sea water. The dye does not threaten the wildlife living there and is then

spotted as it progresses in the water. It is tracked by sensors on poles that are located along

the sand as well as by drones(无人驾驶飞机). There’s also a device that tracks the light that

is given off by the pink dye. The sensors record the height of the waves, ocean currents and

temperature.

Giddings explained, “We’ve bringing together a lot of different people with different

expertise. I think it’s going to have some really great results and impacts. We will combine

the results from this experiment with a former field study and computer models to help us

further understand how the dyed fresh water spreads.

5、How does the author lead in the topic of the text?

A. By showing a strange phenomenon. B. By making an assumption.

C. By quoting a well-known saying. D. By making a comparison.

6、What is the purpose of Plumes in Nearshore Conditions?

A. To introduce the benefits of dyeing sea water pink.

B. To show how fresh water combines with sea water.

C. To prove that fresh water is warmer than sea water.

D. To examine the impact of fresh water on sea water.

7、Why is pink dye used by the team?

A. It can enormously give off light.

B. It can function well with sensors.

C. It can be recognized easily and eco-friendly.

D. It seems to attract wildlife and spread rapidly.

8、What will the researchers do according to Giddings’ words in the last paragraph?

A. Challenge the results with some experts.

B. Build more scientific computer models.

C. Experiment with dyes of another colour.

D. Integrate more results of former studies.

Located about 10 km northeast of the city center, the Chengdu Panda Base is a popular

place to see lots of pandas of different ages in what's close to their natural habitat.

Highlights and Travel Tips

The Chengdu Panda Base is a nonprofit research and breeding（繁殖）facility for giant

pandas that was originally founded in 1987 and opened to the public in 1993. The center

began with a population of just six giant pandas and has since grown to more than 100

pandas.

For visitors, it is more like a nice park than a traditional zoo. The base is large and nice

to walk around, since much of it is in a bamboo forest. There are also shops selling panda-

related souvenirs, but the prices are usually higher than markets or shops outside the base.
