1 .Climate scientists are not present everywhere. Because there are so many places in the world and not enough scientists to observe all of them, they're asking for your help in observing signs of climate change across the world. The citizen scientist movement encourages ordinary people to observe a very specific research interest — birds, trees, flowers budding, etc, and send their observations to a giant database to be observed by professional scientists. This helps a small number of scientists track a large amount of data that they would never be able to gather on their own. Much like citizen journalists helping large publications cover a hyper-local beat, citizen scientists are ready for the conditions where they live. All that's needed to become one is a few minutes each day or each week to gather data and send it in.In “All that's needed to become one... (paragraph 2) ”, what does the word “one” stands for ?
A a citizen journalist B a citizen scientist C a scientist D a citizen

3 .Organisms have a great variety of ways of adapting. They may adapt in their structure, function and genetics, in their development and production of the young and in other respects. An organism may create its own environment, as do warm-blooded mammals, which have the ability to adjust body heat exactly to maintain their ideal temperature despite changing weather. Usually adaptations are an advantage, but sometimes an organism is so well adapted to a particular environment that, if conditions change, it finds it difficult or impossible to readapt to the new conditions.The author cites the behavio r of warm-blooded mammals in order to show that a living thing may have the ability______.
A to create an environment of its own B to remain still when an enemy is near C to make food from inorganic chemicals D to change the color of its skin

5 .Many researchers，whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one-hundred-twenty decibels（分贝）. They say such a limit is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?
A They will work hard to reduce ocean noise pollution. B They will protect animals from harmful noises. C They will try to set a limit of 120 decibels. D They will study the effect of ocean noise pollution.
7 .In this world of change and complexity, the need for information is of greatest importance. Those people who have accurate, reliable up-to-date information to solve the day-to-day problems, the critical problems of their business, social and family life, will survive and succeed "Knowledge is power" may well be the truest saying and access to information may be the most critical requirement of all people.We can learn from the paragraph that _______.

Those people have so much leisure that it is hard for them to find interesting and worthwhile ways to use it.How to spend leisure time wisely is not a particularly difficult problem for people ______.

9 .We are so used to our life on the surface of the earth that it can be quite an effort for our mind to break free of all the ideas that we take for granted. Because we can feel that things are heavy, we think of "weight" as being a fixed quality in an object, but it is not really fixed at all. If you could take a one-pound packet of butter 4, 000 miles out from the earth, it would weigh only a quarter of a pound.We find it hard to break free from ideas connected with living on the earth because_____
A it demands too great an effort for us to do so. B we are too familiar with the way things are to question the ideas. C we have proved that those ideas are correct. D we are so sure of ourselves that we never doubt anything on the earth.
10 .The children don’t just plan any city. They map and analyze（分析） the housing，energy，and transportation requirements of their own district and foretell its needs in 100 years. With the aid of an architect（建筑师） who visits the classroom once a week，they invent new ways to meet these needs and build models of their creations.“Designing buildings of the future gives children a lot of freedom，”says the teacher who developed this program.“They are able to use their own rich imagination and inventions without fear of blame，because there are no wrong answers in a future context. In fact，as the class enters the final model-building stage of the program，an elected ‘official’ and ‘planning group’ make all the design decisions for the model city，and the teacher steps back and becomes an adviser.”An architect pays a weekly visit to the classroom _______.
A to find out kids’ creative ideas B to discuss with the teacher C to give children lectures D to help kids with their program
