Eric Davis got interested in firefighting when he was in the army. And while much
of his job today is related to EMS(emergency medical services)，his first love is
fighting fires. I enjoy the job and working with people. I enjoy firefighting.”
he says.
Davis studied in a firefighting school for about three months and took part in
classroom work，physical exercise，and hands-on training such as fighting live fires
in buildings filled with straw.
Davis says the blindfold(蒙眼的)training prepared him for real fires. By the time
we get to a fire，if it's going pretty good，the whole house will be filled with smoke.
And anytime you get near the fire, you won't be able to see at all. Zero visibility(能
见性)is the same as darkness. The blindfold training works.”
Davis believes his most important duty is making sure he's prepared for any situation
he might come across. To keep physically fit，he runs several times a week and works

out. He takes classes to keep up his skills and trains regularly by fighting practice
fires. Sometimes this includes cutting holes in roofs, which helps allow smoke to
pass out and improves visibility for firefighters inside the building.
Firefighting means plenty of risks. Besides，Davis says·You have to be willing


to help any person you come across.” If someone is trapped，Davis or another
firefighter will put himself at risk to get the person out. Davis says he is not afraid
when he's fighting a fire. He does what's needed.

For some people, running outdoors is a great way to exercise. What may not be
so great is seeing trash all over the ground. Well, some people are doing something
about it. They are plogging! Plogging began in Sweden in 2016. A Swedish man named
Erik Ahlstrom became concerned about the amount of trash and litter he saw each day
on his way to work and he began picking up the trash. That is how plogging was born!
Plogging, by that term，may have officially begun in Sweden. But many people who
exercise outdoors have been doing this for years. Take Jeff Horowitz for example.
He is a personal trainer in Washington，D. C. He would often pick up trash while running

outside. He even turned it into a game; he would try to pick up the trash without
stopping.
Today, plogging is an official activity, one that is becoming increasingly popular.
Plogging can build closer social connections in a community, and it can also be fun.
When Dana Allen goes plogging around D. C., she invites her friends, and they make
a day of it. Although Allen enjoys plogging，she doesn't do it all the time. When
she is training for a serious marathon race，the trash has to wait.
Cities around the world now hold plogging events. The goal is to spread the idea
that littering is not acceptable. Along with cleaning up the environment, there may
be another reason to choose plogging. One fitness app，Lifesum，records one hour of
plogging as burning 288 calories. Usual jogging burns about 235 calories.
Getting ready to plog is similar to getting ready to jog. Ploggers do some deep
knee bends as well as some balancing exercises and then they put on protective gloves.
There are other safety rules for plogging. The main one is to plog in areas where
there are not too many people. Stopping quickly in front of someone. to pick up an
empty bag of potato chips, for example, could cause a crash.


28. What do we know about Jeff Horowitz from the text?
A. He was the first person to plog. B. He has been actually plogging.
C. He is in support of eco-travelling. D. He is an expert in picking up trash.
29. What is so special about Dana Allen's plogging?
A. She doesn't always do it with her friends.
B. She always finds it interesting to do it.
C. She nearly does it in a park every day.
D. She doesn't insist doing it every day.
30. What do the numbers in Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A. Picking up trash is important. B. Plogging events are of little use.
C. Flogging is a better workout. D. The idea of plogging is strange.
31. Why should ploggers choose to plog in less crowded areas?
A. To avoid a crash. B. To save energy.
C. To pick up more trash. D. To make it unknown.

D
Anyone who has studied biology, watched a nature documentary, or, for that matter,
simply enjoyed time in the outdoors, has likely been amazed by the variety of plant
and animal life on our planet.
To date, about 1.5 million species have been formally described in the scientific
literature, most of them insects. Proportionally, bacteria make up less than 1% of
all described species.
Scientists generally agree that many more species exist than are formally
described，but they disagree about how many there really are. Some studies have
estimated 2 million or fewer, whereas others suggest as many as 12 million. In a new

Quarterly Review of Biology
，researchers from the University paper published in The
of Arizona have estimated that there are roughly 2 billion living species on Earth,
over a thousand times more than the current number of described species. In coming
up with their estimate，the researchers took advantage of the fact that many estimates
now agree on the projected number of insect species, around 6.8 million. They
incorporated new estimates of species boundaries revealed by DNA sequences, which
suggest there might be six times as many insect species，increasing the total to 40
million for insect species alone.
They then reviewed all groups of organisms associated with insects as parasites.
They found that each insect species most likely hosts a unique species of mite(螨)，

roundworm，a one-celled microsporidian(微孢子虫), and a one-celled organism called
apicomplexan(顶覆虫). Most importantly, the researchers estimated that each insect
species is likely to host at least 10 bacterial species found nowhere else. Based
on these estimates，they conclude that there should be around 2 billion species on
Earth.
32. How many bacterial species are formally described in the scientific literature?
A. About 1.5 billion. B. About 1.5 million.
C. About 150 thousand. D. About 15 thousand.


33. Which of the following do scientists generally agree on?
A. There are many more species not included in the scientific literature.

- 7 -


B. There are about 1.5 million insects described in the scientific literature.
C. There are about 12 million species existing but not known to the scientists.
D. There tire about 6. 8 million insect species not hosting parasites.
34. Which word can best explain hosts underlined in the last paragraph?
A. Attracts. B. Supports. C. Kills. D. Invites.
's the main idea of the passage?
A. A discovery of new bacterial species.
B. Different theories to estimate species.
C. A new estimate of biodiversity on Earth.
D. Different opinions on the number of species.

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。
Why don't birds on a wire get a shock? 36 Firstly, the bird not only forms


a circuit with the wire，but it also offers a high resistance to current，so the current
passes through the wire instead of the bird.
It's a bit like this, would you prefer going on a smooth road or a road full of
potholes? The answer is obvious and just like you. 37 All objects offer some amount


of resistance to the flow of current，depending on the material. 38 However the


more important reason why current does not pass through the bird is, there is barely
any, if at all. voltage difference(电压差)across the bird. Current flow is actually
just the flow of minute charged particles that are invisible to the naked eye. 39


The amount of energy needed to move the charges from one point to another is measured
in terms of the potential difference between the two points.
A bird perched on high-tension wires has both its feet placed firmly on the same
wire, so the potential difference from one end of the bird to the other is，for all
purposes, next to nil(零).
If the bird were to touch the wire and simultaneously another wire, it would
receive a mild shock. On the other hand if it were to touch the wire and some other
object connected to the ground, it would receive a deadly shock. 40

A. Many of us are puzzled at it.
B. There are two reasons for that.
C. The current prefers taking the easier path.
D. This explains why birds don't get shocked on a wire.
E. This is just one of the reasons why birds don't get a shock.
F. The greater the potential difference, the greater is the current flow.
G. These charged particles need an energy input in order for them to get transferred.
