Theyre quite small and have no opening to the outside world carrying sound through the body. For the past seven years, Simon Thorrold, a university professor, has been examining fish ears, small round ear bones called otoliths（耳石）. As fish grow, so do their otoliths. Each day, their otoliths gain a ring of calcium carbonate（碳酸钙）. By looking through a microscope and counting these rings, Thorrold can determine the exact age of a young fish. As a fish gets older, its otoliths no longer get daily rings. Instead, they get yearly rings, which can also be counted, giving information about the fishs age, just like the growth rings of a tree. Ring counting is nothing new to fish scientists. But Thorrold has turned to a new direction. Theyre examining the chemical elements（元素）of each otolith ring. The daily ring gives us the time, but chemistry tells us about the environment in which the fish swam on any given day. These elements tell us about the chemistry of the water that the fish was in. It also says something about water temperature, which determines how much of these elements will gather within each otolith ring. Thorrold can tell, for example, if a fish spent time in the open ocean before entering the less salty water of coastal areas. He can basically tell where fish are spending their time at any given stage of history. In the case of the Atlantic croaker, a popular saltwater food fish, Thorrold and his assistant have successfully followed the travelling of young fish from mid-ocean to the coast, a journey of many hundreds of miles. This is important to managers in the fish industry, who know nearly nothing about the whereabouts (行踪) of the young fish for most food fish in the ocean. Eager to learn about his technology, fish scientists are now lending Thorrold their ears.16 . What can we learn about fish ears from the text?AThey are small soft rings.BThey are not seen from the outside.CThey are openings only on food fish.DThey are not used to receive sound.17 . What does the underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refer to?AfishBfish earsCfishs otolithsDdaily rings18 . Why does the writer compare the fish to trees?ATrees gain a growth ring each day.BTrees also have otoliths.CTheir growth rings are very small.DThey both have growth rings.19 . Why is it important to study the chemistry of otolith rings?AThe elements of the otoliths can tell the history of the sea.BChemical contents of otoliths can tell how fast fish can swim.CWe can know more about fish and their living environment.DScientists can know exactly how old a fish is.20 . What is the main idea of the passage?AIt is true that fish have ears.BFish ears can tell us how old they are.CWe can learn a lot from fish ears.DFish scientists have done a lot of studies on fish ears.Rethinking on Sorting of WasteWaste sorting is becoming increasingly common around the world.It has slowly moved into the center of discussion on the future of business and sustainable(可持续的) development.It may seem like a tiny activity, but is indeed quite complex.Waste sorting is no doubt an important step toward a global circular economy(循环经济) and an environment-friendly society.In the coming years, the world is supposed to clear out the use of fossil fuels(化学燃料), become more resource- efficient and ensure greater equity(公平).Waste sorting can play a key role in achieving these goals. However, what we need and expect is very different from what we are taking now.Waste sorting in some areas is working reasonably well, for example the glass and metal industries.But when we are looking at global sustainability, there is a need to rethink waste sorting.The world seems to be in a dilemma.It is no longer clear if the kind of waste sorting done in western nations is part of the problem or the solution.Much of the recycled waste is turned into low-value goods in a way that does not result in a completely reduced use of natural resources.People around the world have begun to realize that much of the waste they sort is not perfect in sustainable material flows.Instead, it is shipped to poor countries, without being used in a correct way.A waste sorting system for the 21st century should build on the high technology that allows citizens to know more about what is happening to the waste they are sorting.It should also require companies to show how resources-efficient their solutions are In this way, consumers(消费者)will be able to compare choices.China could start in the next generation of waste sorting systems- those that help citizens to know more about what is happening to the waste they are sorting.Such a waste sorting system would be a driver for innovation and resource efficiency and a true step toward a greener global village.21 . The author leads in the topic “waste sorting” by_.Aintroducing the steps to do itBcomparing the laws on itClisting different ideas about itDpresenting the importance of it22 . The author says “The world seems to be in a dilemma” to show that_.Anew resources need to be discoveredBthe circular economy should be questionedCwaste sorting in western nations is not perfectDrecycled waste shipped to poor countries is useless23 . What can we learn about the waste sorting system for the 2lst century?ARecycled waste must be turned into high-value goods.BConsumers can suggest the best way to sort their garbage.CHigh technology may help to improve the resource efficiency.DCompanies should spend most of their money on new technology阅读下面短文根据内容选择最佳答案。As a child, Alain Robert was afraid of high places. One day, when he was 12, he went back home from school. At the front door of his building, he looked for his keys. He didnt have them. It was 3:30 and his parents worked until 6:00 pm.
