Although fatalities are rare, the stings can cause extreme pain and stop people breathing. The fish, often known as Devil Firefish, is a highly invasive species, [2]and environmentalists fear its arrival could endanger other types of marine life. After being spotted in the Mediterranean, a marine scientist says, "The fish is spreading, and that's a cause for concern."

News Item Three
[5]A Philippine fisherman was feeling down on his luck when a house fire forced him to clear out his possessions and change locations. [6] Then a good luck charm that he had kept under his bed changed his life. The unidentified man had fished out a giant pearl from the ocean when his anchor got stuck on the rock while sailing off the coastal island in the Philippines ten years ago. [6] When he was forced to sell it, the shocked tourist agent at Puerto Princesca told him that the 77-pound giant pearl that he'd kept hidden in his rundown wooden house [7] was the biggest pearl in the world, which was valued at 76 million pounds. The pearl of Allah which is currently on display in a New York museum only weighs 14 pounds. That is 5 times smaller than the pearl that the fisherman just handed in. The monstrous pearl measured at one foot wide and 2.2 feet long is going to be verified by local experts and international authorities before hopefully going on display to attract more tourists in the little town.

M: No. I did it all by myself with a little help from my brother Greg. He's actually in the construction business, which was really helpful.
W: [12] I honestly am impressed. I know I could probably repaint the walls in my house over a weekend or something, but not a full renovation. Where did you get your ideas? I wouldn't know where to start.
M: Well, for a while now, [13] I've been regularly buying home design magazines. Every now and then, I'd save a picture I liked. Believe it or not, I had a full notebook of magazine pages. Since my overall style was quite minimal, I thought and hoped a whole renovation wouldn't be too difficult. And sure enough, with Greg's help, it was very achievable.
W: Was it very expensive? I've imagined a project like this could be.
M: [14] Actually, it was surprisingly affordable. I managed to sell a lot of my old furniture and put that extra money towards the new material. Greg was also able to get some discount materials from a recent project he was working on as well.
W: Great. If you don't mind, I'd like to pick your brains a bit more. Jonathan and I are thinking of renovating our sitting room, not the whole house, not yet anyway. [15] And we'd love to get some inspiration from your experience. Are you free to come over for a coffee early next week?

Passage One
[16]Removing foreign objects from ears and noses costs England almost three million pounds a year, a study suggests. Children were responsible for the vast majority of cases—95% of objects removed from noses and 85% from ears. Every year an average of 1,218 nose and 2,479 ear removals took place between 2010 and 2016. According to England's Hospital Episode Statistics, children aged one to four were the most likely to need help from doctors for a foreign object in their nose. [17] Five-to-nine-year-olds come to the hospital with something in their ears the most. Jewellery items accounted for up to 40% of cases in both the ears and noses of children. Paper and plastic toys were the items removed next most from noses. Cotton buds and pencils were also found in ears. [18] According to the study, the occurrence of foreign objects in children is generally attributed to curiosity. Children have an impulse to explore their noses and ears. This resulted in the accidental entry of foreign objects. Any ear, nose, and throat surgeon has many weird stories about wonderful objects found in the noses and ears of children and adults. Batteries can pose a particular danger. In all cases, prevention is better than cure. This is why many toys contain warnings about small parts. Recognizing problems early and seeking medical attention is important.

Passage Two
Good morning.[21]Today, I would like to talk to you about my charity ReBicycle. But before that, let me introduce someone. This is Leila Rahimi. She was so scared when she first moved to New Zealand that she struggled to leave the house and would spend days working up the courage to walk to the supermarket for basic supplies. After a few months of being quite down and unhappy, she was invited to join a local bike club. At this time, [19]ReBicycle got involved and gave Leila a second-hand bicycle. Within weeks, her depression had begun to ease as she cycled. The bicycle totally changed her life, giving her hope and a true feeling of freedom. To date, [20]ReBicycle has donated more than 200 bikes to those in need, and is now expanding bike-riding lessons as demand soars. With a bike, newcomers here can travel farther but for almost no cost. The three hours a day, they used to spend walking to and from English language lessons, has been reduced to just one hour. Our bike-riding lessons are so successful that we are urgently looking for more volunteers. Learning to ride a bike is almost always more difficult for an adult, and this can take days and weeks, rather than hours. So if any of you have some free time during the weekend, please come join us at ReBicycle and make a difference in someone's life.

Passage Three
Thanks to the International Space Station, we know quite a bit about the effects of low gravity on the human body, [22]but NASA scientists want to learn more. To that end, they have been studying how other species deal with low gravity, specifically focusing on mice. The results are both interesting and humorous. The scientists first sent some mice in a specially designed cage to the International Space Station. The cage allowed them to study the behavior of the mice remotely from Earth via video. [23]As you'll notice in the video, the mice definitely seem uncomfortable at the beginning of the experiment. They move around clumsily, drifting within the small confines of the cage, and do their best to figure out which way is up; but without success. However, it's not long before the mice begin to catch on. They adapt remarkably well to their new environment and even use the lack of gravity to their advantage as they push themselves around the cage. That's when things really get wild. [24]The eleventh day of the experiment shows the mice are not just dealing with the gravity change but actually seem to be enjoying it. Several of the mice are observed running around the cage walls. [25]The scientists wanted to see whether the mice would continue doing the same kinds of activities they were observed doing on Earth. The study showed that the mice kept much of their routines intact, including cleaning themselves and eating when hungry.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
22.What do NASA scientists want to learn about?
A)How animals deal with lack of gravity.
B)How mice interact in a new environment.
C)How low gravity affects the human body.
D)How mice imitate human behavior in space.
23.What does the passage say about the mice at the beginning of the experiment?
A)They found the space in the cage too small to stay in.
B)They found it difficult to figure out where they were.
C)They were not used to the low-gravity environment.
D)They were not sensitive to the changed environment.
24.What was observed about the mice on the eleventh day of the experiment?
A)They continued to behave as they did in the beginning.
B)They already felt at home in the new environment.
C)They had found a lot more activities to engage in.
D)They tried everything possible to escape from the cage.
25.What did the scientists find about the mice from the experiment?
A)They changed their routines in space.
B)They began to eat less after some time.
C)They behaved as if they were on Earth.
D)They repeated their activities every day.
答案解析

25.答案： C
解析：短文結(jié)尾處提到，研究人員想看看這些老鼠是否會(huì)繼續(xù)做它們?cè)诘厍蛏系哪切┗顒?dòng)。研 究表明在太空中這些老鼠大部分的日常活動(dòng)未受影響，包括自我清潔和饑餓時(shí)進(jìn)食。可 知，它們的舉止行為和在地球上一樣。故答案選C) 項(xiàng)。
