42、e, railway operators and a local aquarium teamed up to find a solution. Between 2002 and 2014, disruptions (中断) of train operation caused by turtles were reported 13 times, with many more probably going unreported.

To investigate what our planet was like billions of years

52、ago, a team of researchers turned to indirect methods of analysis at a geological site in the Australian Outback known as Panorama(全景画) in the Pilbara Craton. Today, the region is 100 kilometers inland, but 3. 2 billion years ago, it was deep underwater. In fact, there were also once ancient hydro t

53、hermal vents (热水口) there where seawater bubbled up through the ocean floor. “There are no samples of really ancient ocean water lying around, but we do have rocks that interacted with that seawater and remembered that interaction, ”lead author Benjamin Johnson, an assistant professor at Iowa State U

55、er, about 0. 20 percent is Oxygen-18. Samples from Australia show the regions ancient water contained more Oxygen-18 than present times.

57、e global-scale formations of continental soils like we have today. ” The researchers dont know when and how continents began to emerge out of the ocean but they plan to investigate “younger” rock formations to piece together a more precise timeline. 【文章大意】本文为说明文。研究表明, 30亿年前整个地球可能被水覆盖, 本文就此观点提出了研究证据。

This traditional childrens vehicle has become more compli

64、cated over the years. And now, with the addition of a small electric motor, its become a cheap and easy mode of transport. Scooting around town can be fun and doesnt involve much effort. 37 But considering accident involving an electric scooter in the UK, questions are being asked about their safety

65、 and whether traffic laws should be changed. Many e-scooter riders in the UK broke the law. Some have been seen on pavements, others on the road jumping red traffic lights, adding to the frustration of motorists stuck in jams. In the UK, the law states that riding one on the public highway or paveme

66、nt is forbidden. But, despite this, it seems the increasing popularity of e-scooters means they can be seen everywhere. 38The UK government is looking at how safely they can be used on the road and is “reviewing” the law. But its transport minister, Michael Ellis, has told the BBC that: “Micromobili

67、ty products are appearing in countries across the globe and are an exciting innovation for which we know there is demand. 39”40 Despite the fact that some of them can exceed 30 mph, they sometimes only have one brake and no lights. However confident the rider may be, larger vehicles on the road make

68、 them unprotected. So it seems more work needs to be done to give e-scooters a safe and legal space to travel in. A. The roads are already crowded. B. We are mainly after economic benefits. C. People seldom see e-scooter accidents in the UK. D. However, safety must always be our top priority. E. And

69、 now users are calling on regulations to be changed. F. Theres no doubt there are dangers in riding a two-wheeled scooter. G. Its no wonder theyre becoming increasingly popular in cities around the world. 【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了电动滑板车作为交通工具的兴起及随之出现的安全问题。36. 【解析】选A。根据前一句可知, 如果你环顾伦敦的街道, 你会看到人们用来出行的许多方法。后一句

70、引出本文话题: 现在又有了一个新成员电动滑板车。选项A. The roads are already crowded. (路上已经很拥挤了。)符合文意。37. 【解析】选G。本段前两句解释了电动滑板车的优势, 故下文总结它受到人们的欢迎, 选项G. Its no wonder theyre becoming increasingly popular in cities around the world. (难怪它们在世界各地的城市里越来越受欢迎。)符合文意。38. 【解析】选E。根据前文表述“在英国, 法律规定在公共公路或人行道上骑自行车是被禁止的。但是, 尽管如此, 似乎日益流行的电动滑板车

71、意味着它们随处可见”可知, 在旧有的法律规定和电动滑板车日益流行之间存在着矛盾, 因此E. And now users are calling on regulations to be changed. (现在, 用户们呼吁改变这些规定。)符合文意。39. 【解析】选D。根据本段主题句“英国政府正在研究如何在路上使用它们的安全性, 并正在重新审查这项法律”和设空处的前一句“微型移动产品正在全球各国出现, 这是一项令人兴奋的创新, 我们知道这是有需求的”可知它的安全性是首要考虑的问题, 故D项 However, safety must always be our top priority. 符合

72、文意。40. 【解析】选F。根据空格后面两句“尽管有些时速能超过30英里, 但有时只有一个刹车, 没有车灯。不管车手有多自信, 路上的大车都会让他们失去保护”可知, 电动滑板车自身存在的缺陷, 致使它在行驶过程中存在危险, 此处F. Theres no doubt there are dangers in riding a two-wheeled scooter. (毫无疑问, 骑两轮滑板车是有危险的。)符合文意。 第三部分英语知识运用(共两节, 满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20小题; 每小题1. 5分, 满分30分)I had driven home to celebrate my 38t
