Ending racial(種族的) differences

Global warming causes droughts and poor harvests. This can make people leave their homelands and move to other places. In just 125 years, there may be fewer people with dark skin or pale skin. More people will have brown-colored skin.

Making insects hungrier

When it is warmer, insects’ body temperatures go up along with the outside temperature. This is very different from humans, who can keep their body temperature at a certain level. Higher body temperatures can step up the insects metabolism(新陳代謝). This makes them hungrier, so they need to eat more. And this also makes insects bred(繁殖) more quickly．

Helping scientists find historic sites

Britain had a very dry and hot summer this year because of global warming.

After studying these patterns, scientists found something old and a Roman farm.

During rush hours, you never know when a bus or a taxi might come. Walking might be too tiring. If it's about two or three miles away, which kind of transportation will you choose?
Bike shares are a growing convenience in many cities around the world. Riders usually have to pick up a bike at a self-serve station and return it at another station later. However, a Chinese bike-sharing company called Ofo, is bringing this idea to a new level.
Like any other bike-sharing service, Ofo users can get a bike at any time. Instead, they can pick one up wherever and whenever they please. To get a bicycle, riders with the app are able to find the nearest one. After parking the bike, all they have to do is to lock it.
This Chinese company already has its bicycle throughout China, the United States and Singapore. “We want to reach more cities, connect more bikes and serve more people”, said Ofo founder Dai Wei.
A.Thousands of bike sharing programs have been set up by the governments.
B.When a rider is done with the bike, returning is just as easy.
C.This month, 500 Ofo bicycles will be set up in Cambridge, England.
D.For short journeys, riding a bike could be the best solution.
E.The big difference is that they don't need to find a self-serve station.

When you wave to a friend, you are using sign language. When you smile at someone, you mean to be f【1】. When you put one finger in front of your m【2】, you mean "Be quiet."

Once an Englishman was in Italy. He could speak little Italian. One day w【3】 he was walking in the street, he felt h【4】 and went into a restaurant.

But the waiter gave him a lot of things to d【7】. First tea, then coffee, then milk, but no food. The Englishman was sorry that he wasn't a【8】 to tell the waiter what he wanted. He was ready to leave the restaurant when a【9】 man came in and put his hands on his stomach. And this sign was good e【10】 for the waiter. In a few minutes, the waiter brought him a large plate of bread and meat. At last the Englishman had his meal in the same way.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Abbreviations(縮寫) are now widely used in our daily lives. Here are some of them. Are you familiar with them?
R.S.V.P. stands for a French phrase, “répondez, s'il vous plat,” which means “please reply.” If R.S.V.P. is written on an invitation, it means the invited guest must tell the host(主人) whether or not they plan to attend the party as soon as possible. Because the hosts who are planning a dinner party or a wedding need to know how many people to count on and how much food and drink to buy. More important, though, it is polite to reply someone who was nice enough to invite you, even if it is to say that you are sorry that you will not be able to attend.
B.Y.O.B. has been used first in the early 1970s to mean “bring your own bottle (of wine)”, although in present-day it is just as likely to mean “bring your own booze” or “bring your own beer”. It was used by small restaurants that was not allowed to sell wine. But now B.Y.O.B. is often placed on an invitation to tell the guests that the host will not be providing wine and that guests are welcome to bring their own.
R.I.P stands for “rest in peace” in English, The phrase was not found before the 8th century. It became ubiquitous(普遍現(xiàn)象) on the tombs of Christians in the 18th century, Now, it is always written on tombstones to express the wish of forever rest and peace to someone who has died.
P.K. means “Player Killing” originally. The word P.K. is now also used in China and Taiwan as a verb(動詞). In fact, there may actually be no player killing. It is most used in 1v1 situations like 1v1 basketball, 1v1 chess, 1v1 footrace and so on. P.K. can also be used in situations where one team is against another in a 1 team vs 1 team competition like in the NBA, soccer, baseball and so on.
