I've always loved the ocean. In the_＿36_＿ (seven) grade,I started volunteering at the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California. I was upset to learn that many sea animals eat plastic garbage,＿37＿(think)it is food.

I decided to do something ＿38＿ (educate) people about this problem. I held presentations at schools to teach kids about plastic waste. I wanted to reach businesses too. I decided that if I learned of a company_39＿ used a lot of plastic, I'd send it an email urging it to cut back.

One day, I saw a commercial for a health-care company. People in the ad were using plastic straws （吸管）． I found the contact information of the company＿ 40＿ emailed its president. I told him how ＿ 41＿ (harm) plastic could be to the environment and asked him to consider using more eco-friendly options. I was so＿ 42_ (excite) when he wrote back to me.He said he would make sure that the company cut its use of plastic straws in half.

I kept going. Whenever I heard of businesses using plastic, I'd send an email. One of the biggest companies I wrote to ＿43＿ (be) Alaska Airlines Paris. A company ＿44_ (represent). wrote back and told me the airline was switching over ＿45＿ plastic to paper cups on all of its 1,200 daily flights.

In the 1990s, a group of thieves often sold stolen goods with the heip of some beggars. To look into the ＿24＿，Wang disguised（伪装）himself and ＿25＿ the beggars．Dirty shorts and old shoes gave him the ＿26＿ of a real beggar and his convincing dialect soon won him the ＿27＿ of the beggars.

"I often ＿28＿ them to drink alcohol. Once they were ＿29＿,they began to talk a lot,"Wang said. "I'd then __30 __ myself to use the toilet, ＿31＿what the beggars said, and send the ＿32＿ to my teammates."

Wang，who is often in__33＿ situations， is also a judo （柔道） master． "As long as I get close enough, no criminal can __ 34__ from me," he said.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

· If you decide that you need to read the whole book, decide how much you can read at a time. 19_______ A history book which may contain the facts in story form will be easier to read than one dealing with scientific subjects.

An Australian professor is developing a robot to monitor the health of grazing cattle, a development that could bring big changes to a profession that's relied largely on a low-tech approach for decades but is facing a labor shortage.

Salah Sukkarieh, a professor at the University of Sydney, sees robots as necessary given how cattlemen are aging. He is building a four-wheeled robot that will run on solar and electric power. It will use cameras and sensors to monitor the animals. A computer system will analyze the video to determine whether a cow is sick. Radio tags （标签）on the animals will measure temperature changes. The quality of grassland will be tracked by monitoring the shape，color and texture （质地） of grass. That way， cattlemen will know whether they need to move their cattle to another field for nutrition purposes.

Machines have largely taken over planting, watering and harvesting crops such as com and wheat, but the monitoring of cattle has gone through fewer changes.

For Texas cattleman Pete Bonds, it's increasingly difficult to find workers interested in watching cattle. But Bonds doesn't believe a robot is right for the job. Years of experience in the industry - and failed attempts to use technology - have convinced him that the best way to check cattle is with a man on a horse. Bonds, who bought his first cattle almost 50 years ago, still has each of his cowboys inspect 300 or 400 cattle daily and look for signs that an animal is getting sick.

Other cattlemen see more promise in robots. Michael Kelsey Paris, vice president of the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association, said a robot could be extremely useful given rising concems about cattle theft. Cattle tend to be kept in remote places and their value has risen, making them appealing targets.

12.What is a problem with the cattle-raising industry?

A．	Soil pollution.	B．	Lack of workers.
C．	Aging machines.	D．	Low profitability.

13. What will Sukkarieh's robot be able to do?

A．	Monitor the quality of grass.	B．	Cure the diseased cattle.
C．	Move cattle to another field.	D．	Predict weather changes.

14.Why does Pete Bonds still hire cowboys to watch cattle?

A．	He wants to help them earn a living.	B．	He thinks men can do the job better.
C．	He is inexperienced in using robots.	D．	He enjoys the traditional way of life.

15.How may robots help with cattle watching according to Michael Kelsey?

A．	Increase the value of cattle.	B．	Bring down the cost of labor.
C．	Make the job more appealing.	D．	Keep cattle from being stolen.
