The result was inspiringThey confirmed their locations and measured the sizes of their Village，houses and gardens“We can find isolated vinages with remote sensing and study them over time”Walker told Live Science“We can ask：Are they growing?Do they move?”Surprisingly，based on the sizes of the houses and Villages，the scientists find the population densities of these isolated villages are about 10 times greater，on average，than other villages of native Brazilian peoplesThis may be due to the fact that they have to live closer together because they are not as good at clearing the forest，since they lack modern devices like chainsaws and tractors，the researchers saidThe tribes may also be afraid of spreading out due to fear of being attacked by outsiders，Walker said.The researchers now plan to focus on 29 more isolated villages to“look at their ecologythat isdistance from rivers and roadsand use this to model where else we can find more isolated villages，”Walker said32What is the main idea of the text?AAmazon tribes are disappearingBScientists found isolated Amazon tribesCModern civilization is threatening Amazon tribesDIsolated Amazon tribes are monitored with satellites33Scientists dont want to meet the Indians on the ground due to the fear that_Athey cant get accurate dataBthey will be attacked by the IndiansCthey could pass disease to the IndiansDthey will catch disease from the Indians34What do scientists find about the tribes?AThey live close together BTheir population is dropping.CThev live in distributed areasDTheir population is increasing fast.35What can be inferred from the last paragraph?AThere are 29 Amazon tribes in totalBMore isolated tribes are yet to be discoveredCIts easy for scientists to find isolated villagesDIsolated villages are distant from rivers and roads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。A new report says plastics are responsible for 13 billion in damage to the oceans and the undersea environmentThe findings were announced recently at a United Nations conference 36 Plastic thrown away carelessly makes its way into rivers and other waterways 37 After a while，it collects in the seaAnd plastic never goes awayPlastic is not biodegradabledestroyed by bacteria or natural processesInstead，it just breaks up into smaller pieces over timeThe oceans contain a lot of chemicals and other pollutants 38 That means harmful material may get into our food supply 39 Human beings cause pollution and they can take steps to stop it.
