Directions: In this section, there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.
Passage One
Alice Paul Tapper was on a fourth-grade field trip last year when she noticed something that bothered her. The girls were standing in the back of the room, listening politely as the guide spoke. The boys crowded together in the front. They raised their hands to respond to questions, even if they didn't know the answer.
Alice, 10, often doesn't raise her hand in class, even if she's pretty sure she knows the answer. She's nervous she'll get it wrong and feel embarrassed. On that field trip, she figured a lot of other girls were probably keeping quiet, too.
Alice told her mom what she saw. They talked about how girls are often told to be quiet and polite, while boys are encouraged to be bold and assertive. Alice and her mom talk about that kind of thing a lot. She wants boys and girls to have the same opportunities. "Girls are important, and their ideas are important," Alice says. "They should be heard. "
Alice's mom is the leader of Alice's Girl Scout troop，in Washington, D.C. She and Alice brought the issue up at their next Girl Scout meeting. Alice found she was right. The other girls said they, too, sometimes hesitated to raise their hands, and they worried that this could hold them back in life. Alice wanted to change that. If a girl raises her hand, it's one step toward becoming a great leader, " she says.
Alice's troop decided to ask the Girl Scouts organization to create a new patch. The new patch was introduced in October 2017. It is called the Raise Your Hand patch. To earn it, a girl has to do three things. She must pledge to raise her hand in class when she thinks she knows the answer--even if she's not 100% sure. She must recruit three girls to make the same pledge. And she must talk about how raising her hand makes her feel.
So far, more than 5,400 girls have earned the Raise Your Hand patch. They live in every state in the U.S., plus Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Ireland. "Girls are powerful," Alice says. "They should raise their hands so they can release the power inside them."

Passage Two
Stephen Hawking was born on 8 January. 1942 and grew up in St Albans，the eldest of four brothers and sisters. His father was a research biologist and his mother a medical research secretary, so it was not surprising that he was interested in science. As a student he was drawn to physics and maths as he believed they offered the most fundamental insights into the world. But nothing marked him out as special from his classmates or in his first terra at Oxford University.
Stephen got first in Physics from Oxford, and started a PhD at Cambridge. His own private universe expanded when he proposed to his future wife. Jane was also from St Albans , and was a modem languages undergraduate. She had met Hawking at a New Year's party, before his diagnosis. The couple decided to marry quickly, because they did not know how long Stephen bad to live. As Stephen's health deteriorated, he took to walking with stick.
Hawking escaped the limits of his disability by training his mind to work in a new way. As he started to lose the use of his limbs, he developed a way of visualizing problems in his mind to reach a solution instead of by writing equations .Some of his colleagues have suggested that this way of thinking has led to his greatest discoveries. Hawking was now working on one of science's most bizarre ideas-black holes, an extreme prediction of Einstein's general theory of relativity.
Hawking's work on black boles helped prove the idea of a "Big Bang" at the birth of the Universe. Developed in the 1940s, Big Bang theory was still not accepted by all scientists. Working with mathematician Roger Penrose. Hawking realized that black holes were like the Big Bang in reverse—and that meant the maths he'd used to describe black boles also described the Big Bang.

Passage Three
Imagine that you're a fly. You're just looking for a place to rest,when you see a nice pink leaf. That looks like a nice place to land. As you rest your feet on the leaf, you notice something strange .This leaf is hairy. You begin to make your move, but you trigger the plant's reaction. Snap! In one-tenth of a second, you are caught in the Venus flytrap. You will be digested in five to twelve days.
Out of about 391,000 plant species in the world, only 600 or so are carnivorous. We call them this because they attract, trap，and eat bugs. Like other plants, they get energy from the sun. But unlike other plants, they get their nutrients from their prey (猎物).Carnivorous plants live in places where the soil lacks nutrients. Most plants get nutrients from the soil. Carnivorous plants have turned to other sources.
Pitcher plants trick their prey into landing on them. They offer nectar (花蜜)bribes to the foolish insects that would take them. True to their name, pitcher plants have deep chambers. Their landing surface is slippery. They have inward pointing hairs, making it hard to escape. The fly lands on the pitcher plant to eat but slips into a pit filled with digestive fluids.
Corkscrew plants have inviting stems. Curved hairs line the inside of these stems. These hairs allow insects to go up the stems, but not back. Going forward leads to the plant's stomach. Bugs who wander into the corkscrew plant find that they are unable to escape. They must march to their own death.
And then there are the bladderworts. They live in water and float near the surface. Their traps are like small bladders(囊状物)hidden beneath the water. Only their flowers are visible from the surface. When bugs swim into the trigger hairs, the plant reacts. The bladder sucks up the prey and the water surrounding it. The prey will be digested within hours.
31.The word "carnivorous"(Para. 2) is closest in meaning to " ".
A.nutritious B. bug-eating C. plant-eating D. attractive
32.Which statement would the author most likely agree with?

Passage Four
Serenity (宁静)is difficult to find in today's fast-paced world. A moment of complete calm seems to be a rare and wonderful find. For me, those precious moments occur on a boat. As legendary sailor Vito Dumas once said: "It's out there at sea that you are really yourself." On deck, enjoying awe-inspiring views, the cares of everyday life blown away on the sea breeze, you can appreciate his point.
Flying is a misery. From airport chaos to the confined space of an aircraft, nothing about commercial aviation appeals to my sense of adventure—or comfort. Favouring boat travel isn't just about managing flight fear, though. Whether I'm on a short ferry crossing or a cruise, the sea provides a true sense of travel, from the impressive physical shift of a ship leaving port to its navigation of the open water. "We are tied to the ocean,"John F. Kennedy said. As my ship steers towards an exciting new destination, I feel that affinity.
And I'm not alone. "The journey is part of the holiday,"says travel writer Helen Ochyra. I'll stand out on deck, whatever the weather, and watch the ropes being untied, the boat slipping away from the dock and the landscape drifting farther and farther away."
Tom Bourlet，founder of the Spaghetti Traveller blog, agrees": On a plane,it's difficult to make out much more than grassland; on the ferry, there is something exciting about seeing land slowly getting closer."
For Cathy Winston, travel editor, it's about the sense of adventure ."Even on a fairly simple journey from A to B, she says, "wide wide, open sea makes it feel like you could be off to discover new lands. There's a certain romance you don't get on a plane or on a motorway." Winston also values the family-friendly aspects of sea travel. "There's something so relaxing about being on the water, especially with kids," she says.
Whether it's for kid-happy convenience or sheer romance, boats will always be the preferred mode of transport for many travelers. A boat gets me where I want to go, avoiding the rush—and terror— of air travel. And out on the waves, as reality melts away, I always rediscover my own passion for the sea.
36.Which aspect of sea travel is emphasized in the first paragraph?
A.Extraordinary view. B. Complete freedom.
C. Peace of mind. D. Sense of adventure.
37.The word "affinity"(Para. 2) is closest in meaning to "
A.strong emotion B.close connection
C.sheer excitement D.impressive moment
38.Who is deeply impressed while watching the boat leaving the dock?
A.Helen Ochyra. B.Vito Dumas.
C.Cathy Winston. D.John F. Kennedy.
39.According to Tom Bourlet, sea travel is better than air travel in that it
A.enables people to engage in deeper thought
B.gives passengers a better chance to relax
C.provides a more comfortable environment
D.offers a clearer view of the landscape
40.According to the last two paragraphs, sea travel has all the following benefits EXCEPT .
A.being family-friendly B. satisfying an adventurous heart
C. promoting a healthy lifestyle D. providing relaxation
Section B
Directions: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answer A,B,C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.
At SXSW, the tech and culture conference in Austin, London Mayor Sadiq Khan criticized big tech companies and regulators for failing to stem the spread of hate, misinformation and radical viewpoints online.
The mayor said that governments have been in "dereliction of duty" when it comes to passing regulations to combat the ways technology has negatively affected society. "One of the biggest problems over the last few years is that politicians and governments have just been passive—sitting on their hands—while the tech revolution has happened around them,"Khan said in his remarks.
Ultimately, he said, it's up to governments to work with technology businesses and leaders to make sure that technological advancement has the proper checks.
Social media firms are already under new regulatory pressure in Europe, thanks to German laws enacted in January that will fine companies that don't take down problematic content within 24 hours of it being reported.
Khan did not call for this type of regulation but warned that even stricter regulation could be on its way if companies don't respond to government concerns."Ultimately—there must be greater responsibility taken by some tech companies for the impact they're having on the world."
Comment 1:
Looking at this from the point of view of "industry regulation" is simply flawed. At the core of this, it is individuals who are making choices to "post" each and every time. What our society seems to have lost is a sense of personal responsibility.
Comment 2:
It's not exactly easy to implement laws that targets content online. The bigger issue is that law enforcement simply doesn't have the resources to act on all these crimes happening on the Internet.
Comment 3：
1 agree that technology has failed us in at least one very important way: Twitter, Facebook, etc, published and continues to publish untruths and fake "news", that some people assume are accurate. They must do something.
Comment 4:
The companies at issue promote the content being objected to. That is the content that drives their revenues and profits. So self-regulation just never works without the threat of harsh regulation.
Comment 5:
Information and Communications Technology (ICT), through its evolution, has generally been perceived as beneficial, furthering progress and the common good. But, ICT has not had the foresight to see how the evolving industry can produce unintended consequences. It's time for ICT to step up.
41.The word"dereliction"(Para. 2) probably means " ".
A.deliberate neglect B. potential abuse
C. constant misjudgment D. apparent misunderstanding
42.What does Khan emphasize with his remarks in the last paragraph?
A.Strict British regulation. B.German-style regulatory laws. C.Government-industry cooperation. D.Self-regulation of the industry.
43.According to Comment 1, who is to blame for the spread of misinformation?
A.Businesses. B. Individuals. C. Government officials. D. Industry leaders.
44.Which of the comments favors strict government regulation?
A.Comment 2. B.Comment 3. C.Comment 4. D.Comment5.
45.Which comments agree with Khan on the role of tech companies?
A.Comments 1and 4. B.Comments 2 and 3. C.Comments 4and 5. D.Comments 3 and 5.

文章第二段描述了爱丽丝不举手的缘由，第三段爱丽丝跟她妈妈讨论了女生不举手的原因：人们常常教导女生要文静礼貌，男生要大胆坚定。这造成了许多女生不举手的现象。因此选C项“被教导要文静礼貌”。

23. 【答案】A
【考点】细节题

【参考译文】
去年，爱丽丝·保罗·塔珀参加了一次四年级野外旅行的活动，也就在那时，她发现有些事困扰着她。在导游发言时，女生们都站在房间后面安静地听着，而男生们都挤在前面，他们举手积极回答问题，即使他们不知道答案。
10岁的爱丽丝不经常在课堂上举手，即使她对答案很肯定。她紧张自己会出错并感到尴尬。在那次户外活动中，她觉得其他女生也很可能跟她一样保持安静。
爱丽丝把自己看到的告诉了妈妈。她们谈论到，女生经常被要求要文静，要礼貌，然而却鼓励男生要大胆和坚定。并且谈论了许多与此相关的的事。爱丽丝想要男生与女生都有同样的机会。爱丽丝说：“女孩很重要，她们的想法也很重要，人们应该要听听女生的想法。”
爱丽丝的妈妈是华盛顿地区女童子军的领导。她和爱丽丝在之后的女童子军会议上提出了这件事。爱丽丝发现她是对的。其他女孩说他们也有时会犹豫着举手，她们担心这样做会使她们在生活中变得畏缩不前。爱丽丝想改变这种状况。“假如女生举手了，这是迈出成功的第一步。”她说道。
爱丽丝的团队决定请求女童子军组织创建一个新的徽章。该徽章在2017年10月被
采用，它叫“举手” 徽章。为了获得该徽章，女生们需要做三件事。一是当她知道答案，即使不能百分之百地确定，她必须在班上举手。二是她必须招募三位女生做出同样的承诺。三是她必须说出她举手时的感受。
到目前为止，已有5400多名女生获得了“举手” 徽章。她们来自于美国的各个州，还有的来自加拿大、英国、澳大利亚和爱尔兰。“女生们非常强大，” 爱丽丝说。“她们应该举起她们的手，这样才能释放出她们内在的力量。”

【文章介绍】本文主要阐述了霍金的生平历程，包括他的出生、家庭、所受的教育和身体状况。尽管他的身体日益恶化，他对黑洞和宇宙大爆炸的研究仍获得巨大突破。
26.【答案】D
【考点】细节题
【解析】 霍金早期对科学感兴趣的原因是什么。
文章首段说明了霍金父母的职业都与科学相关，使得他对科学感兴趣。因此此题选D项“他的父母影响了他”。
【误项排除】A项“他的兄妹喜欢科学”，B 项“当霍金还是个孩子时，他就开始学习相关的课程了”，C项“他在数学和物理学方面特别优秀”，这三项不符合题意。
27.【答案】A
【考点】细节题
【解析】 关于霍金的妻子—简，可以得知什么。
文章第二段阐述了霍金与其妻子简的故事。他们都来自圣奥尔本斯，相识在新年聚会上。
并在霍金的疾病确诊后，快速结了婚。所以A项“她和霍金来自同一个地方”正确。

30.【答案】D
【考点】细节题
【解析】 作为科学界的领军人物，霍金是怎么样的。
全文描述了霍金虽身患重病，但这并没有阻碍他对科学的热爱。即使身体日益恶化，他仍然努力克服疾病带来的不便，并致力于科学研究，取得了重大成就。因此此题选D项“一生大部分都在与疾病抗战”。
【误项排除】A 项“在世存活了55年”，B 项“写了许多畅销小说”，C项“领导了一些专为残疾人士的机构”，这三项不符合题意。
【参考译文】
斯蒂芬·霍金出生于1942年1月8日，在圣奥尔本斯长大，他在四兄妹中排行老大。他父亲是一位研究生物学家，他母亲在一家医疗研究所担任秘书。可见，霍金对科学感兴趣并不奇怪。在学生时代时，霍金就被物理和数学所吸引。在他看来，物理和数学为他了解世界提供了最基本的见解。但是在牛津大学第一学期，他跟其他同学一样，并没有什么特别之处。
斯蒂芬在牛津大学物理专业以第一名毕业，并开始到剑桥大学读博。当他向未来的妻子求婚时，他的世界多了一人。简也是来自圣奥尔本斯，是一名现代语言学的大学生。简在一次新年聚会时认识了霍金，那个时候，霍金还没被诊断出患病。他们决定尽快结婚，因为他们不知道霍金还能活多久。随着霍金的病情恶化，他需要拄着拐杖走路了。
为了避免身体残疾带来的限制，霍金采用一种新的方式来训练思维。当他的手臂无法使用时，他采用了一种新的方式：不再是手写方程式，而是通过大脑把问题视觉化来获得解决方法。他的一些同事认为这种思维方式造就了他巨大的发现。霍金现在正致力于研究科学上最奇异的问题之一—黑洞，也是对爱因斯坦广义相对论的预测。
霍金对黑洞的研究证实了宇宙初始“大爆炸”的存在。“大爆炸”理论形成于20世纪40年代，但仍不被科学家们接受。霍金在与数学家罗杰·彭罗斯一起研究时，他意识到黑洞就像反向的大爆炸，这就意味着他用来描述黑洞的数学也能描述大爆炸。这对证明大爆炸确实存在是个关键时刻。随着霍金身体的恶化，他的职业生涯开始腾飞。
Passage Three
【文章介绍】本文主要介绍了几种食肉性植物如捕蝇草、猪笼草、 螺旋狸藻等及其捕食方式。
31.【答案】B
【考点】语义题
【解析】本题问的第二段中的“carnivorous”意思最接近的是哪项。
文章第二段主要对比了食肉性植物与其它植物，在carnivorous词后，就解说了其缘由：他们能够迷惑、诱捕并吃掉虫子。因此选B项“食虫的”。
【误项排除】A项“有营养的”，C项“食草的”，D项“有吸引力的”，这三项不符合题意。
32.【答案】C
【考点】细节题
【解析】 作者最可能认同的是哪项。
根据第二段第一句所述：全球约有391，000种植物，只有600来种植物是食肉性的。因此选C项“只有少量的植物是食肉性的”。
【误项排除】A项“有太多的食肉性植物物种”，B项“世界上的植物种类太少了”，D项“大多数指物都是食肉性的”，这三项不符合题意。
33.【答案】D
【考点】细节题

文章第三段第三句直接陈述了食肉性植物从它们的猎物中获得营养。因此选D项“它们的猎物”。
【误项排除】A项“其它植物”，B项“土壤” ，C项“太阳”， 这三项不符合题意。
34.【答案】B
【考点】段落归纳
【解析】 第三段大意的最佳表达是哪项。
第三段描述了猪笼草是如何捕猎的，它通过提供花粉诱使猎物进入到身体里，且光滑的体表让猎物无法逃脱。因此选B项“猪笼草引诱虫子进入它的胃部”。

35.【答案】B
【考点】推断题
【解析】 推断螺旋狸藻的消化器官位于哪里。
最后一段描述了螺旋狸藻是如何捕食的，通读该段，可知该植物是通过毛发捕食并消化的，由此此题选B项“在其顶部的某处”。
【误项排除】A项“在其根部的某处”，C项“在它的花朵里”，D项“在它的叶子里”，这三项不符合题意。
【参考译文】
想像你是一只苍蝇，你正在寻找一处落脚的地方。当你看到一片粉色的叶子，看似一块可以落脚的好地方。当你双脚落在这片叶子上时，你注意到了有些不对劲。这片叶子有毛。当你想要移动时，却发现自己引起了这个植物的反应。 喀嚓!不到十分之一秒的时间，你被捕蝇草逮住了，并将在5到12天内被消化掉。
全球约有391，000种植物，只有600种左右 的植物是食肉性的。我们称之为食肉性植物，是因为他们能够迷惑、诱捕并吃掉虫子。和其它指物一样，它们通过太阳获得能量。但又和其它植物不一样的是，它们通过猎物获得营养。食肉性植物居住的地方，土壤缺乏营养。许多植物从土壤中获得营养，但食肉性植物却不得不转向其它来源。
猪笼草诱惑猎物着落到它们身上，利用花粉做诱饵，迷惑那些愚蠢的昆虫。正如其名， 猪笼草呈深桶型。瓶口表面很光滑，而且它们内部有着粗毛，这让落入的虫子无法逃脱。这只苍蝇被诱落在猪笼草上，并滑入了全是消化液的囊中。
螺旋狸藻有开口的茎，茎中有弯曲的毛发。这些毛发让虫子只能向上爬向树干，但却无法返回。向上通向植物的胃。落入螺旋狸藻里的虫子发现自己无法逃脱，它们只能走向死亡。
还有狸藻类植物。它们生长在水中，漂浮在水面。狸藻的捕食器类似囊状物，隐藏在水下，而在水面只能看到它的花。当虫子游近刺毛时，捕虫囊就开始活动了。它随着水流吸食着猎物，猎物将在数小时内会被消化掉。

【文章介绍】本文主要介绍了海上旅行的优点。相比航空旅行，乘船出行让人心情放松，享受平静。
36.【答案】C
【考点】细节题
【解析】 第一段强调了海上出行的哪一方面。
文章第一句话就描述了宁静的难得，而作者在海上出行却能感受到这宁静时刻，是多么的珍贵。因此选C项“心灵的平静”。

【考点】细节题

【误项排除】A项“让人陷入深思” ，B项“给乘客更好的放松机会”，C项“提供更舒适的环境”，这三项不符合题意。
40.【答案】C
【考点】推断题
【解析】 根据最后两段，下面哪一项不是海上出行的优势。
整篇文章阐述了海上出行的优点，只有C项“提升健康的生活方式”在原文并没有提及。因此选C。
【误项排除】A项“友好的家庭生活“，B项“满足冒险的心”， D项“让人放松”，这三项不符合题意。
【参考译文】
在现如今快节奏的生活中，很难找到一片宁静。片刻的宁静似乎是罕见且奇妙的。对我来说，最珍贵的时刻发生在一艘船上。正如传说中的水手维托·杜马曾说过，“在海上，你才是真正的自己。”在甲板上，享受着令人惊叹的景色，海风吹走了每日的烦恼。他的观点值得欣赏。
飞行是一种痛苦。从喧嚣的机场到空间狭隘的机舱，商业航空并没有什么能吸引我去冒险—或让我感到舒适。然而，喜欢乘船出行并不只是因为对飞行的恐惧。不论我是在短途的摆渡船上还是在海上航游，海洋给我一种真正的旅行，从船只离港到航向开阔的海域，这种航行令人印象深刻。约翰·肯尼迪说：“我们与海洋是一体的。”当我的船驶向一个令人兴奋地新目的地时，我感到了一种亲切感。
我并不孤单。旅行作家海伦·奥奇拉说：“旅程也是假期的一部分。无论天气如何，我都要站在甲板上，观看绳子解开，然后船从码头滑入水中，岸边的风景离我越来越远。”
斯帕盖蒂旅行博客的创始人汤姆·布里特认为，在飞机上很难看清地面，但在船上，看着越来越近的陆地是多少兴奋的一件事。
对于旅行编辑凯西·温斯顿来说，这是一种冒险，即使在从A到B极为简单的旅行中，宽广的海域似乎能让你去探索新的领域。而在船上的这种浪漫，你在飞机上或高速公路上是无法感受到的。温斯顿也很重视海上航行带来的友好家庭生活。她说：“在水上，尤其是和孩子在一起，感觉特别放松。”
无论是为了与孩子相处的便利还是纯粹的浪漫，船一直都是许多旅行者喜爱的交通方式。船能把我到我想去的地方，避免了飞行时的匆忙和恐惧。在海上，随着现实世界的远离，我总能再次找到自己对大海的热情。

【参考译文】
在奥斯汀举办的SXSW科技文化大会上，伦敦市长萨迪·汗批判了大型科技公司和监管机构，他们没能阻止网络上仇恨、错误消息和激进观点的传播。
该市长说，政府在通过法规来打击科技给社会带来的负面影响是失职的。汗在评论中说到，过去几年最大的问题是在科技革命发生时，政客和政府都很消极，且是一种袖手旁观的态度。
最后，他说政府应该要与科技企业和领导者合作，确保科技进步有合适的检查机制。
在欧洲，社交媒体公司现已面临新的监管压力。这归功于德国今年1月颁布的法律，该项法律将对报道出现问题且没有在24小时内撤销的公司处以罚款。
汗并不提倡这类监管，但是如果公司不能回应政府的担忧，他警示将有可能制定更严厉的监管措施。最后，由于这些科技公司因其对世界的影响，必定要承当更大的责任。
评论1：
从“行业监管”的角度来看，这是有缺陷的。这个问题的核心是个人，是他们选择是否“上传”。我们的社会似乎已经失去了个人责任感。
评论2：
针对网上的内容要实施法律制裁并不容易。最大的问题是，执法部门根本没有资源去处理所有在发生中的网络犯罪行为。
评论3：
我认同科技公司至少在一个非常重要的方面让我们失望了：通过推特、脸谱等发布或持续发布不实和虚假的新闻，一些人信以为真，他们必须要做些什么。
评论4：
这些有争议的公司推送着不实的内容，而该内容给他们带来收入和利润。没有严厉的监管约束，自我监管永远不会起作用。
评论5：
通过演变，信息与通讯科技(ICT)总体被认为是有益的，它推动了进步和共同利益。但是ICT并没有预测到不断发展的产业会如何产生未知的后果。ICT是时候提升了。

长时间上网并不能让孩子做事的方式有新意，它会导致孩子注意力分散和记忆力下降。比如，尽管视频游戏会让大脑适应多种刺激，但是也会改变孩子大脑的运作方式。
经常使用搜索引擎的孩子可能会很擅长寻找信息—但并不擅长记忆这些信息。此外，过多依靠科技产品的孩子可能没有足够的机会去发挥想象力或是去阅读和深入思考这些材料。

现在有一种香蕉，其皮是可食用的，这令人难以置信。很多人可能永远都想不到去吃香蕉皮。然而，日本农民发明了一项特殊的技术，种植的香蕉的皮是可以食用的。在日本西部冈山的农民，先把香蕉树置于零下60度的冰冷环境，随后再移植到27摄氏度左右的环境中。巨大的温差使得香蕉能够迅速进入生长状态，香蕉皮来不及完全成熟。这样香蕉皮变得薄、软且甜，足以连皮带肉一起食用。香蕉在日本是最受欢迎的水果。和其它国家类似，日本的许多香蕉都是进口的。日本商店中约有99%的香蕉都是进口来的。这项新技术意味着日本人们能吃到更多本土产的香蕉。

寻求安宁越来越难，想要安静更难。即使在阿拉斯加最偏远的地区，头上传来飞机的声音也是件很寻常的事。科学家们纷纷出发前往美国各地研究 “音频生态”。他们从各个地方记录下了超过100万小时的声音。
他们发现，噪音污染对人类有害，对于那些听觉灵敏的动物们有害程度更甚。而且，噪音污染问题并不仅限于大陆，它的害处也波及到了海洋。人类制造的噪音同样干扰了居住在海洋里的生物。“安静”在地球上越来越罕见了。

The Ideal Public Libraries
With the improvement of living standards, a public library plays an increasingly important role in people’s life，where people can not only gain vast knowledge, but also enrich their minds. From my perspective, an ideal nearby public library should include the following aspects.
To begin with, the library should store countless print books, periodicals, and newspapers，as well as a wide range of audio-books, which should be updated in line with the needs of people. Secondly, the library should provide quiet areas, so the readers can fully enjoy themselves while reading and studying. Last but not least, the library should be equipped with public facilities for people to get access to the electronic resources or the Internet.
It goes without saying that a public library is regarded as the best place to read. Therefore, I wish an ideal public library in my neighborhood can satisfy requirements for different groups of people.
