1、 阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式
When I was a little boy, the dinner on the eve of the Spring Festival wasI looked forward to most. It was not only for the delicious food that we seldom got to eat, but also an opportunity to have the family gathered together. I would run (happy) with my sister in the house, while my mom was preparing food in the kitchen. She would put some tokens in some dumplings; candies for a sweet life, and peanuts for a long and healthy . In the evening, we would sit around the table, toasted each other and enjoyed the homemade dishes, which tasted much better than anything (cook) in the restaurant.
However, for the last three years, we (eat) out for the Spring Festival family dinner, and we have enjoyed it no less than eating at home. I don't understand why some people refuse this change. Can't they admit that the (prepare) for a dinner is hard work? It is not worth the effort of spending so much time cooking a single meal. We work all year, so why can't one day be about spending time with family and (relax). Eating out is a good choice and it has nothing to do loss of traditions. We still have the dinner with the same people, just in a different place. The occasion is more _(enjoy) without that tiring cooking.

Although I learned English for years. I could not speak in complete sentences when I studied in London as an exchange student. In the beginning, I even needed to think twice before replying to a simple greeting. If you have a similar experience, here are some tips.
Practice "output" more often; It's OK to start with only simple sentences or short paragraphs. Meanwhile, you can even practice your grammar.
At the time I didn't have opportunities to talk with the local people. So, I self-talked to describe what happened around to myself.
Another method is that you can record yourself speaking and then listen to the recordings to identify areas that needs improving.
Language is not a hard science. It is more than just a set of rules, but a means of communication. Like small children picking up their mother tongue, we can get speaking skills more naturally by becoming completely involved in the language and using it. When using a language, we focus on the idea itself, rather than the rules.
Find the "support group" that suits you,
Find a native tutor. A language tutor is a great idea where you can practice regularly and get your mistakes fixed in time. I feel much less shy when I speak English with other non-native speakers there. For example, joining a language group is really a great way to practice output.
A. Communicate with local children.
B. Raise your mind like a kid.
C. It is of much benefit to write in the language.
D. It was so painful that I was so confused about my language ability.
E. Or try some language clubs.
F. It is easier for you to "open your mouth".
G. It doesn't matter if you make mistakes.

Though known for being violent, six-foot-long Humboldt squid (鱿鱼) in the Pacific Ocean, are good communicators,
It is not news that the squid can rapidly change the color of their skin-making different patterns for communication something other squid species are also known to do.
Bot it is totally dark where the Humboldt squid live, more than one thousand feet below the ocean surface. So their pattern is invisible. Instead, a new study suggests that they create backlighting for the patterns by making their bodies glow, like the screen of an ereader.
"Right now, what blows my mind in there's probably squid talking to each other in the deep ocean and they're probably sharing all sorts of cool information." said Ben Burford, a graduate student at Stanford University.
Burford and his fallow researchers studied deep-water recordings made by remotely operated vehicles off the California coast. They found the squid make around 30 different patterns, some of which are only used around other squid, suggesting they're used for communication, The squid also appear to reorder the patterns, almost like words in a sentence.
"That's really exciting because then you can say a whole lot more based on their arrangement," Burford said. "So, they could for instance say, hey, that fish over there is mine, and I'm the ruling squid."
The findings could change the way scientists think about bioluminescence (生物荧光), which is used by many deep-sea animals to attract prey or a mate.
"We generally think of deep: sea stuff as having very simple displays because it's a low-light environment," said Mike Vecchione, a zoologist from the National Museum of Natural Museum of Natural History. "This turns some of our ideas about bioluminescence almost around upside down."
The deep ocean is a challenging place to study, so Vecchione said there may be much more complexity to discover.
(1)、Which of the following is right about the Humboldt squid?A、They are quite friendly to deep-sea animals. B、They are much bigger than any other squid. C、They can communicate in a low-light environment. D、They have better ability to survive the violent ocean.(2)、How did Burford and his team study the Humboldt squid living deep in the ocean?A、By studying former recordings. B、By discussing with other scientists. C、By comparing different types of squid. D、By using machines of high rechnology.(3)、 What do scientists commonly think of the use of bioluminescence by deep-sea animals?A、It is used by deep-sea animals in a simple way. B、It makes deep-sea animals more mysterious. C、It makes the Humboldt squid easy to be found. D、It makes it easy for the Humboldt sqord to communicate.(4)、What is these scientists' biggest discovery of the Humboldt squid?A、Their ability to ling deep in the water. B、Their unique use of bioluminescence. C、Their hard living conditions in the sea. D、Their ways to attract preys or mates. -

"Software developer at Unidays, internatsonal speaker and enthusastie learner" is how Jess White describes herself on her blog. But it is not a path she'd originally planned to follow. After completing her psychology degree. White took a Master's in neuro-science (神经科学), fully expecting an academic carcer. But after her interest was raised by the part of the course that involved coding (编码), she decided to take a Master's course in computer science. She graduated with flying color.
Now 27, White hasn't looked back. She joined Oakbrook Finance in Nottingham as a software developer, and stayed for two years, rounding off her time there by winning Rising Star of the Year at the 2018 Women in IT awards. At Unidays, a business offering discounts to students, she works as a back end developer in the maintenance team, "working on the systems and making them better". It's a job she loves. "It's a challenge every day and you never get bored. There is always something to learn." she says.
White believes that some graduates are put off technology careers because they don't realize the range of jobs available, "A lot of people think tech is programing. But there's also design product management—and everything in life is to do with tech these days. Whether it's buying something with your cards or posting something on social media, you can't really avoid it."
A common misunderstanding, she says, is that IT is all about maths. "I'm terrible at maths and it scared the living daylights out of me when I started this because I thought I wouldn't be able to do it," In practice, it hasn't been a problem, and she has found that there are a lot of creative elements in programing. Her psychology background has proved to be a bonus, enabling her to bring a different perspective to her work, purticularly when she has to cooperate with user experience designers.
As for the future, White wants to learn as much as she can and become very strong in the area.

A Rare Spotless Giraffe
A female giraffe was born at Brights Zoo in Tennessee recently—but unlike her mother she was born without any spots an unusual one.
Standing 14 to 19 feet tall, giraffes are the tallest land animals in the world. When mothers give birth, the young giraffes are already 6 feet tall, and other than in especially rare cases, they're born covered in brown spots. Brights Zoo in Limestone, Tennessee, announced that it welcomed the birth of a reticulated giraffe (网纹长颈鹿) without any spots on July 31st.
"Giraffe experts believe she is the only solid-colored reticulated giraffe living anywhere on the planet," the zoo said. The zoo's director, David Bright, said zoo staff had been reaching out to zoo professionals across the country inquiring about how unusual the giraffe could be. Zoo officials said the only record of a reticulated giraffe being born without spots was in Japan in the 1970s.
Mr. Bright said that the new giraffe might not have survived if she had been born in the wild. "Being solid-colored, she may not be able to hide quite well," said Bright. He also thought it was likely that the giraffe would be a "key target for illegal hunters" because she's so unusual.
Pictures of the young giraffe can be seen on the Brights Zoo Facebook page. In a picture, she, without her spots, stood next to her mother, a normal giraffe, in stark contrast. The zoo is asking the public to help name the newborn. People can choose one of four names available on the zoo's Facebook page. The names and their meanings are: Kipekee, meaning unique; Firyali, which means unusual or surprising; Shakiri, meaning she is most beautiful; Jamella, which means optimistic.
Bright said that the zoo looked at thousands of names and their meanings before settling on the four available. "Those four are the four the family really loves," Bright said. "So if she's named one of those four, we're very happy."
According to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation, there are only about 16, 000reticulated giraffes left in the wild — a more than 50% drop from approximately 36,000giraffes 35 years ago. There are about 117, 000giraffes across nine subspecies(亚种).Many of them are endangered or critically endangered.
(1)、What can we learn from this passage?A、This newborn spotless giraffe was 6 feet tall when it was born. B、Giraffes are the largest animals in the world. C、Bright Zoo was too surprised to accept this unusual giraffe at first. D、Only two reticulated giraffes have been recorded to be born spotless.(2)、Which has a similar meaning to the underlined phrase "in stark contrast" in Paragraph five?A、Rather frighteningly. B、Pretty differently. C、Quite cautiously. D、Very happily.(3)、If you were an official of the zoo, which name would you most probably vote for?A、Unique. B、Sherlock. C、Shaken. D、Surprise.(4)、Where can we most probably read this passage?A、A website. B、A text-book. C、A science report. D、A personal diary. -

My name is Fauna, but Mom and Dad sometimes call me Magpie, since I talk a lot. They call me "animal magnet," too; because animals like me. I don't mind at all because I like them, too. In fact, what I really, really want is a pet of my own. My dad has a pet fish, and I like it a lot — but I would still like a pet that's all mine.
"Please? I asked my parents."Pretty please, with cherries and chocolate and whipped cream on top?"
"We'll see!"
"I'll walk it and feed it and brush it.... well, unless it has scales or something. Then I'll polish them real nice."
"We'll see."
Finally, though, "we'll see" was upgraded to "soon."
"Let's do some research," said Dad, "and see what kind of pet is best for you."
"And keep your eyes peeled," said Mom. "You never know when an opportunity will come along."
One did come along.

Humans have sailed the oceans' surfaces for millennia (千年), but their depths remain effectively uncharted. Only about a quarter of the seafloor has been mapped at high resolution. Maps of most regions display only approximate depths and often miss entire underwater mountains or canyons (峡谷).
So a group of researchers has recruited some deep-diving experts: Elephant Seals and Weddell Seals. Scientists have been placing trackers on these blubbery marine mammals around Antarctica for years, gathering data on ocean temperature and salinity. For a new study, the researchers compared these dives' location and depth data with some of the less detailed seafloor maps. They spotted places where the seals dove deeper than should have been possible according to the maps-meaning the existing depth estimates were inaccurate.
In eastern Antarctica's Vincennes Bay, the diving seals helped the scientists find a large, hidden underwater canyon. An Australian research ship called the RSV Nuyina later measured the canyon's exact depth using sonar, and the researchers have proposed naming their find the Mirounga-Nuyina Canyon — honoring both the ship and the involved Elephant Seals, genus (动植物的属) Mirounga.
But seals can't map the entire ocean floor. The trackers used in the study could pinpoint a seal's geographical location only within about 1.5miles. Plus, because the seals don't always dive to the bottom of the ocean, they can reveal only where the bottom is deeper than in existing maps — not shallower. McMahon notes that scientists could improve on these data by using more precise GPS trackers and analyzing the seals' diving patterns to determine whether they have reached the seafloor or simply stopped descending.
The current seal-dive data can still be valuable for an important task, says Anna Wåhlin, an oceanographer. The deep ocean around Antarctica is warmer than the frigid waters at the surface, and seafloor canyons can allow that warmer water to flow to the ice along the continent's coast, Wåhlin explains. To predict how Antarctica's ice will melt, scientists will need to know where those canyons are and how deep they go.
(1)、 What problem is mentioned at the beginning of the text?A、Lack of the map. B、Not enough tools. C、Ineffective charts. D、Inaccurate measurement.(2)、How did the researchers conduct the study?A、By observing the seals. B、By comparing different data. C、By using advanced equipment. D、By analyzing the existing maps.(3)、What does the underlined words "their find" in paragraph 3 refer to?A、The canyon. B、The ship. C、The seals. D、The genus.(4)、What can be inferred from the text?A、The present data is of little use. B、Seal's swimming pattern influences the data. C、The ocean's surface around Antarctica is warmer. D、The seal can't reach deep ocean because of temperature. -

Two Georgian twins, separated at birth when they were sold to different adoptive families, have been reunited and have TikTok to thank for bringing them back together.
The astonishing story began 10 years ago when one of the twins, Amy Khvitia, sat watching Georgia's Got Talent in her godmother's house near the Black Sea. A young girl, who looked exactly like her, climbed up on stage and began to dance in front of the reality show's judges. Another seven years went by when Ano Sartania, the young girl that had danced on television, was sent a TikTok video of a young woman with blue hair getting her eyebrow pierced. Determined, Ano took to a WhatsApp university group with her plea. asking for help finding the woman with the blue hair. Against all odds, someone in the group knew Amy and the pair was connected through Facebook. Amy and Ano agreed to meet in-person at a local train station.
"It was awkward, it was awesome, it was everything," Ano told The Sun of that first meeting, adding, "It was weird for me like I was looking in a mirror." As they grew to know each other more, the two women began to list the similarities they shared and admit to being a bit unsettled by it all. Both were born in the same hospital, but their birth certificates said they were born a couple of weeks apart. Wanting answers, they turned to their families to ask some hard questions and soon had an explanation — both families admitted to adopting the girls as newborns.
It turns out both of their mothers had been unable to have children and were told they could pay to adopt unwanted babies at the hospital. DNA tests ‘eventually confirmed that that Amy and Ano were twins. However, they wanted to know why their biological parents have given them up and if they had been sold for profit. The twins have since been reunited with their birth mother, Aza, who claimed she fell into a coma after delivering her identical daughters and when she woke up hospital staff told her that her babies were dead.
"While Ano and Amy's story contains a lot of coincidence on their path to reunion, their adoption circumstances aren't that unique in Georgia — as many as 100,000 Georgian babies have been put up for illegal adoption since the 1950s on the black baby market," says Georgian journalist Tamuna Museridze, who has been working to reunite families.
(1)、Which of the following properly describes the twins?A、Their foster parents paid to adopt them legally. B、Their first in-person meeting was full of mixed feelings. C、It took them a smooth decade to get connected with each other.
