1、 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Every year, climate change is making the planet hotter. When humans cut down trees or burn coal, oil, and gas to produce electricity, CO2 and other harmful greenhouse gases(温室气体) go into the atmosphere(大气层). These gases take in the sun's heat, causing the earth to warm up. The heat causes terrible weather around the world, including heatwaves, floods and huge storms.
One way of keeping the planet cool is to stop the greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere.
Some animals are natural-born climate change fighters. All animals are important, but a few hero animals protect their homes and keep them healthy, while going about their daily lives. Just by being themselves, these clever animals can prevent the planet from getting too hot. Let's meet them.
Tapirs(貘), rainforest regenerators
Imagine if you pulled a pig's nose to make it longer but stopped before it got as long as an elephant's trunk. That's what a tapir looks like. These strange animals can grow as big as, or even bigger than, an adult lion. Tapirs have a secret superpower, too— their poo(大便). Tapirs' poo spreads seeds(种子) across the forest, helping lots of new plants grow so that the forests can spring back to life more quickly.
Sea otters(海獭), protectors of the kelp(海藻) forest
Kelp grows in huge underwater forests. Like forests on land, k elp provides a wonderful, safe home for lots of animals, including sea otters. It also takes in and stores lots of carbon(碳). The sea urchins(海胆) love to tease kelp, and sea otters love to eat the urchins. When an otter uses its stomach like a dinner table to snack on urchins, it's not only supercute, it's actually helping to protect the k elp and create healthy, lively underwater forests.

D、They take in the sun's heat, making the earth warmer.(2)、What is the tapir's secret superpower?A、Running faster than a lion. B、Climbing trees very high to pick fruits. C、Spreading seeds with their poo to help plants grow. D、Eating a lot of different plants to grow as big as a lion.(3)、How does k elp help in the underwater ecosystem?A、It eats up sea urchins as snacks. B、It keeps the sea water warm and clean. C、It is a primary food source for sea otters. D、It provides a home for sea otters and stores carbon.(4)、What's the role of tapirs and sea otters in the environment?A、They are a danger to the environment. B、They have no influence on the environment. C、They play a big role in protecting the environment. D、They strongly wish to stop the earth from getting warmer. -

Although experts cannot agree on everything, studies show that the ancestors of the modern guitar first appeared in history several thousand years ago. The oldest guitar-like instrument that has been found and saved belonged to an officer in Egypt. This instrument had three strings(弦) and was made of beautifully polished wood. A century later, Hittite craftsmen(工匠) made stone model showing a man playing an instrument like a guitar.
As people began to move to new areas and spread their culture, guitar instruments moved, too. Each new people group changed the design to best fit their own musical sounds. The number of strings changed, and the material used to make the instrument changed, too. People of ancient Africa, the Middle East, and Greece all played stringed instruments. The North African Moors played the oud and brought it to Spain around AD 700. There, it probably mixed with the Greek kithara and the Middle Eastern tanbur. Out of this mix came the Spanish guitarra.
Names for the different stringed instruments all finally centered around the Persian word"tar", which means"string". However, the modern guitar really began to take shape around the 19th century. Torres, a Spanish guitar maker, improved it so much that his design had remained almost unchanged until today.
European immigrants(移民) brought Torres's design to America, where it became popular. In fact, the guitar plays an important part in what many people consider true American music: blues, jazz, and rock and roll. The 20th century brought electric guitars and new ways of using the guitar in music. Today, the instrument remains one of the most popular in the world.
(1)、Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A、The modern guitar appeared in the 20th century in Spain. B、The earliest guitar-like instrument was found in Egypt. C、The number of guitar strings remains the same all the time. D、The guitar-like instrument was invented by Hittite craftsmen.(2)、What does the underlined word"it" in the passage refer to?A、The kithara. B、The tanbur. C、The oud. D、The guitarra.(3)、Which is the CORRECT order of the following events?a. Torres's design was brought to America.
b. Spanish guitarra came out of kithara and tanbur.
c. Torres improved the instrument.
d. The Moors brought the oud to Spain.
A、d—c—b—a B、a—d—c—b C、c—a—d—b D、d—b—c—a(4)、What's the passage mainly about?A、The value of the guitar. B、The development of the guitar. C、The inventor of the guitar. D、The famous pieces of guitar music. -

"Oh, no, it isn't, " said David. "It's full of love. My mom told me before she died that love was something you couldn't see or touch unless you know it's there. . . can you see it?"
Tears filled my eyes as I looked at the proud dirty face that I had given little attention to. "Yes, David, I can see it, " I replied. "Thank you. " I could say that with the passing years, I never forgot the meaning behind the little empty box that sat on my desk.
