第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

A

In December 2010, Lauren Robinson walked into science class, “My throat started closing,” she remembers. “They called an ambulance, and I had to go to the hospital.” It wasn’t the first time that Lauren had to be rushed to the hospital. That’s because Lauren, 15, has a food allergy (过敏症)

Many people have food allergies. But Lauren’s allergy is much worse than most. She can’t eat food that contains milk. When she was younger, Lauren could stay safe by choosing food carefully. That changed in middle school. By eighth grade, Lauren couldn’t be in the same room with dairy products(乳制品). That’s what happened in Lauren’s science classroom. Earlier that day, students had held a pizza party. Cheese particles(微粒) still hung in the air. Lauren never returned to school after that.

In 2011, Lauren got great news. She could go to school and stay safe by driving a robot to class. Lauren controls it from home over the Internet, using a computer. She uses the keyboard to drive the robot from class to class. A video camera on the robot lets Lauren see what is going on in school. A video screen on the robot lets students and teachers see her. It has microphones(话筒) so that everyone can talk to Lauren too.

At first, Lauren thought that using the robto was “a weird idea”. No one went to school like that. “I kept knocking into walls at first,” says Lauren, laughing. “I’d keep falling!” But she got used to it quickly. Using the robot feels natural now. Lauren even created a way to “raise her hand” using the robot’s headlights. “I can turn them on and off until the teacher sees me,” she explains.

Lauren looks forward to going to college. She’d like to work in a medical job.

56. What do we know about Lauren’s allergy?

A. Lauren’s throat was totally damaged because of it.

B. It becomes better as Lauren gets older.

C. It often puts Lauren in a dangerous situation.

D. Lauren was born with it.

57. The underlined word “weird” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_____”.

A. strange B.clever C. wrong D. big

58. According to the passage, the robot _____.

A. was easy to control at first

B. becomes friends with Lauren

C. can communicate with others all by itself

D. makes Lauren feel like she’s really in school

B

Most people know tuna(金枪鱼) only in a can but more than 50 kinds of tuna live in the world’s oceans. The largest of tuna, the bluefin, can grow almost 15 feet long and swim through the water at high speed.

For centuries, bluefin crowded the world’s waters, a top ocean predator(捕食性动物) with few enemies. But they’ve met their match in humans. More and more people find tuna delicious. Today bluefin are nearing extinction(灭绝). To save them, scientists needed to know more about their habits. But, until recently, they had no way of following these super-fast animals of the sea.

Scientists came up with a project called Tagging of Pacific Predator(TOPP). Over 10 years, they attached (固定) electronic recorders to more than 4,000 animals. The recorders recorded information about amounts of light and salt, and even the animal’s heartbeat and body temperature. For the first time, researchers were able to follow their travel across the Pacific and study their movements in the warm waters off the California coast.

The journeys of the bluefin really surprised the TOPP team. When bluefin are two years old, they leave the waters off Japan and travel all the way east to California, a distance of more than 3,000 miles (5,000 kilometres). Then they move up and down the US coast with the seasons.

And scientists in anothe
