And with hungry foxes ready to attack under the cover of darkness, farmer John Wright would spend ages getting the birds safely inside each night. But his daily work before Christmas has been changed by his sheep dog Molly, who has shown her herding (放牧) talents in dealing with 1,400 turkeys. The four-year-old dog runs around and takes just 20 minutes to round up the turkeys a job that could take four people two hours to plete.Mr Wright, 27, bought Molly after “falling in love with her big blue eyes”. He then found she had a natural ability to round up turkeys. He said: “I took her with me one day and started throwing apples to get the turkeys out. As I started throwing them left and right, she started rounding them up so I started shouting a few mands and Molly just took to it.”Now the two work as a team as they bring the turkeys back to their home every night at sunset. The farmer said: “We have about 12 foxes that regularly e out from a nearby city and when they attack, they dont just take one they take as many as they can get. But if they see Molly, they dont e anywhere near. It was a big problem for us in the past, but we lose hardly any now.”Mr Wright and his father, John senior, 73, run the 200-acre (about 0.8 km2) mixed farm in Wyton, East Yorkshire together. But no one works harder than Molly. Unfortunately, Molly does have one failing as a sheep dog. Mr Wright admitted: “Mollys not interested in sheep at all. She is also good at rounding up our ducks maybe she just likes birds.”25. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. It used to be easy for John Wright to look after his turkeys.B. The foxes used to hunt turkeys in the daytime.C. Four people are more efficient than Molly in hunting turkeys.D. Molly has changed John Wrights way of herding his turkeys.26.

Because dogs were needed to keep the farm running safely.27. What do we know about Molly?A. She was taught by Mr Wright to round up turkeys.B. She once had a fight with about 12 foxes.C. After buying her, Mr Wright has had no losses.D. She can round up 1,400 turkeys in 20 minutes.28. According to the last paragraph, _.A. Molly is successful as a sheep dogB. Molly is only good at rounding up turkeysC. Molly works really hard on the farmD. Molly likes to chase all kinds of birdsCClimate change has caused a rise in sea levels. This has increased the amount of salt in fresh water used on coastal farms. As a result, farmers are increasingly unable to use fields close to the sea.Scientists call this process “salinization”. The term es from the word “saline”, which means a mixture of salt and water. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization says salinization is reducing the area of the worlds irrigated (灌溉的) lands by 1 to 2 percent every year. Irrigation is the process of supplying land with fresh water from other areas.But a farmer, named Van Rijsselberghe, in the Netherlands is now using a mixture of sea and fresh water to grow healthy and tasty vegetables. He has used saline water to kill some plants in order to find out which plants survive. He says, “We put a lot of plants in eight different fields, and then we used the saline water with eight levels of salinity to irrigate them.” Mr. Van Rijsselberghe worked on the project with scientists from the Free University of Amsterdam. He divided a farm into eight irrigated areas. Separate pipes pumped (抽水) fresh water and sea water, and a puter program created water with eight levels of salinity. And then the water went to the fields and dripping irrigation started to work. Mr. Van Rijsselberghe says, “We thought we were going to kill all plants.”In fact he was able to harvest vegetables from most of the eight test areas. The farmer says the vegetables were smaller than those grown in fresh water. But he says they have more sugar and salt, so they taste better.The farmer found that potatoes grew better than the other vegetables in the bination of sea water and fresh water. He says four kinds of these potatoes were recently sent to Pakistan, where a large area of land has been damaged by salinization. 29. What is the result of sea levels rising, according to the first two paragraphs? A. Climate changes in coastal regions.B. Farmers cannot live close to the sea any more. C. The area of coastal farms is being reduced.D. The area of irrigated lands is increasing. 30. What solution did the farmer and scientists in the Netherlands use?A. Pumping fresh water from other places to irrigate plants. B. Moving plants to a place far from saline water. C. Developing a method to get fresh water from salt water. D. Growing vegetables in mixtures of sea water and fresh water. 31. What were the vegetables grown in the research like?A. They tasted sweeter. B. They contained more nutrients. C. They had a better taste. D. They were bigger.DChildren who eat fish once a week sleep better and have a higher IQ, a new study suggests.Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania in the US said parents should consider simply changing the diets of their children rather than forcing them to go to bed.Other studies have shown that the omega-3 fatty acids (-3脂肪酸) found in fish can improve intelligence and sleep, and that better sleep improves IQ. But it is the first time all three have been linked together.The scientists believe it may be that the improved sleep produced by omega-3s is what is increasing IQ, rather than the fatty acids themselves.For the study, the researchers asked 541 school children aged between nine and 11 to fill in surveys about how much fish they ate, and then measured their IQ. Their parents were then asked about their quality of sleep.The team found that children who reported eating fish every week got 4.8 points on the IQ exams, which is much higher than that of those who said they seldom or never ate fish. Those whose meals sometimes included fish got 3.3 points.The researchers suggested starting children on fish by at least the age of two then gradually adding more fish into the diet over time.Dr Jennifer Pinto-Martin added: “It adds to the growing body of evidence showing that eating fish has really positive health benefits and should be something more heavily advertised and encouraged.“Children should be introduced to it early on. Introducing the taste early makes it more acceptable. It really has to be a big effort, especially in a culture where fish is not as monly served or smelled. Children are sensitive to smell. If theyre not used to it, they may not want to try it.”32. What can we learn about omega-3 fatty acids from the text?A. They can be found in fish.B. They can improve IQ directly.C. They can help children go to bed earlier.D. They can change childrens eating habits.33. Which of the following can we conclude from the survey?A. It is fatty acids in fish that increase childrens IQ.B. The parents were asked how long they slept every day.C. Children who ate fish regularly got the highest points.D. Eating fish is the best way to improve IQ.34. What is Dr Pinto-Martins suggestion?A. Parents can feed more fish to children of two years of age.B. The earlier children taste fish, the more acceptable it is. C. If it is advertised, the people who hate fish will accept it. D. If children dislike the smell of fish, dont force them to eat it. 35. What is the main idea of the text?A. Eating fish once a week is good for your sleep and IQ.B. Eating a lot of fish is good for your physical health.C. We must make every effort to persuade people to eat fish.D. Going to bed early is the best way to improve your intelligence.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Consumers spend billions of dollars each year travelling.
