they move from one part of the world to another one of the scientists who worked on the study says many of these important places have been lost to land reclamation 开垦 because of urban industrial and agricultural land expansion the problem according to scientists is that many of these small birds die along their migration paths because they don t have a safe place to feed and rest there is no place to restore their energy for the next part of their journey countries in north africa central asia and those along the coasts of east asia are having the most difficult time in protecting land the scientists say these countries do not have enough areas that are safe for birds one species that doesn t exist now is the eskimo curlew our world gets poorer every time we lose a species one of the scientists says the researchers say countries need to work together and come up with safe stopping areas for birds that pass through their boundaries for example one country might have preserved

how to ensure a steady supply of clean clothes now thanks to a great invention called scrubba wash pack that worry may be a thing of the past the portable washing machine was invented by ash newland in 2010 while planning to climb mt kilimanjaro struck by the limited packing space he got inspiration from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes then he gave up his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bag s design by 2012 the bag was ready for the public it weighed only 180 grams and required very little storage space making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light not surprisingly the bag worth 55 dollars was an instant hit with travelers university students and even passengers however newland was not satisfied he still saw a disadvantage with his invention dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag the recently introduced scrubba wash pack solves that problem in order to make the pack active dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two to three liters of water the bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is squeezed out and the clothes are massaged 揉搓 for a few minutes after a quick wash they are clean and ready to be dried according to newland the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks what s even more amazing is that with a capacity to hold 13 liters of water it can be used 6 to wash more clothes at a time the best part is that the 99 dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year only weighs 300 grams and is completely foldable making it easy to store when it s not in use with the scrubba wash pack wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past 12 what aroused ash newland

the bag was not convenient enough b the bag was not popular with travelers c the bag couldn t wash more clothes at a time d the bag couldn t be folded up 14 which word can best replace the underlined word in paragraph4 a blown b pushed c figured d run 15 it can be inferred that the improved wash pack a will lighten the burden on housewives b will replace the traditional washing machines c will be widely used by more travelers in the future d can encourage more people to travel a long distance 第二节 共第二节 共 5 5 小题 每小题小题 每小题 2 52 5 分 满分分 满分 12 512 5 分 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
