2．A terrible thing happened to me while I was watching TV recently：I realized that I had aged.Now of course I know that I am aging，it's just that I hadn't realized quite how old I was until I saw a participant who I recognized on a reality TV show.Well，I didn't recognize her but I recognized her name，I'd slightly known her in my 20s when she'd been the celebrity who had stolen my roommates' boyfriends.
However，here's the thing that shocked me—I hadn't recognized her because rather than the beauty I remembered，on my TV was a middle-aged mum cooking.And then it hit me：that's what I look like too.
It's a particularly cruel change of nature that we can't see ourselves as others do.We see our own face so often that the wrinkles that start to cut through it just go unnoticed.Occasionally we might get a rude awakening when suddenly our bodies stop working as expected but，for the most part，we're left to get on with growing old without too many reminders.But when you get a reminder...oof!Since that show aired，I have sat in front of the mirror analyzing my face and wondering how I came to look so like my mother without noticing.I've also realized that my waist no longer fits into baby fat but a middle-aged spread.
I also fear that I don't know what middle age looks like for my generation.Did my mother still feel 24 when in reality she was 15 years older？And why do I not feel like I'm where I should be as I approach 40？I definitely remember writing a list of things I will have achieved by the time I'm 40 at 19.Where is the house in the South of France or the Porsche 911 she so desperately wanted？
Since then，I've started to redefine myself.I don't want to put everything down to age but I can't quite stop myself.Tired again？Must be my age.Thank God then for social media.All around me I see amazing women at the other end of their 40s.They've accepted their age and seem to love it，so I'm hopeful that as I move into the next decade that will be me too.And maybe I'll get the Porsche before I'm 50.

D．The aging process doesn't affect the TV celebrity.
（2）In most cases，how do we perceive the aging process？

3．A NASA-funded study used satellite to search for penguin poops （糞便） in Antarctica：funny at first sight though，it resulted in unique insights on the Adelie penguin's diet and its future as the climate changes.The findings published recently unlocked the secrets about the species that can provide an early-warning of threats to Antarctica's delicate ecosystem.
Researchers from Stony Brook University used satellite images to see if the Adelie penguin's diet has been changing in response to Antarctica's changing climate.Adelie penguin population has dropped greatly in some areas even as the global population increases.The satellite images cannot show the penguins individually，but their presence can be detected by the stain （污漬） left on the ice by their waste，called guano.
Male and female penguins take turns incubating （孵化） in the nest.The guano builds up in the same areas occupied by the nests.Heather Lynch，associate professor at Stony Brook，along with his team，used the area of the colony as defined by the guano stain to work back to the number of pairs.A global survey for Adelie penguins turned up 3.8 million breeding pairs.Also，the satellite data can detect the color of the penguin guano，ranging from white to pink to dark red.White guano is from eating mostly fish；pink and red would be from eating mostly krill（磷蝦）.The team found that while the Adelie penguin's diet did show changes from year to year，no consistent pattern was obvious.
"This was a big surprise，since the abundance and distribution of Adelie penguins has changed dramatically over the last 40 years and scientists had assumed that a change in diet might have played a role，" said Casey Young flesh，a graduate student from the university.However，continued changes in the physical environment and a growing krill fishery in the region are likely to have an influence on penguin prey（獵物）and penguin population itself. "Tools like this will be important for the management of the Antarctic ecosystem，which is often considered among the most primitive areas in the world，" said Young flesh.
（1）What concerned scientists most according to paragraph 1？
A．The climate change.
B．The Adelie penguin's diet.
C．The Antarctica's ecosystem.
D．The secret of penguin poops.
（2）How did scientists carry out the study？
A．By doing experiments.
B．By conducting surveys.
C．By making observations.
D．By collecting documents.
（3）Which of the following would Lynch agree with？
A．The Adelie penguin population was 3.8 million worldwide.
B．Guano colors reflected the health condition of the penguin.
C．The Adelie penguin's diet stayed the same most of the time.
D．Adelie penguin waste helped estimate the penguin population.
（4）What did Young flesh's words suggest？
A．More Adelie penguins have appeared over the last 40 years.
B．There was not an obvious changing pattern of penguin's diet.
C．Diet changes didn't actually affect penguin population as assumed.
D．Fishery was important for the management of the Antarctic ecosystem.組卷：8引用：4難度：0.7

Maria knew her neighbor's routine.Every day，Mrs.Hernandez walked her dog Marisol past Maria's house，usually just as Maria was hurrying for school in the morning and again when Maria was returning in the afternoon.Mrs.Hernandez，always smiling，always stopped to chat.Maria enjoyed their small talks.Then one day Mrs.Hernandez discovered that Maria like homemade cookies.From then on，she gave Maria a box of her specially-made cookies with a note that read， "To Maria—my good friend!"
One cold November morning when Maria left for school，she didn't see Mrs.Hernandez and Marisol.Maria didn't know why.That afternoon her neighbor again failed to appear at the regular time.Maria became a little worried.As she walked by Mrs.Hernandez's house，she looked at the house carefully and saw nothing unusual. "Mrs.Hernandez just isn't home today，I guess，" she spoke to herself.
Later that night，Maria told her parents and her brother Ramon about not seeing Mrs.Hernandez.She asked them if they knew where their neighbor had gone.While Maria was worried，Ramon thought that nothing was wrong.Maria's mother also tried to make Maria feel better："She probably went to see a doctjye.ai.Or maybe she's in another city visiting her daughter." Still，Maria was not satisfied.She asked her parents if perhaps she should knock on Mrs.Hernandez's door.
Maria's father was not worried eitjye.air.He thought that they shouldn't bother Mrs.Hernandez."Maria，honey，I'm certain she's just fine.We needn't spend time worrying about her."
The next morning，Maria still didn't see Mrs.Hernandez.Maria became even more worried.Instead of waiting for the school bus，she rushed back home.Maria's mother was washing the breakfast dishes. "I didn't see Mrs.Hernandez again this morning，and now I'm terribly worried about her，" Maria said.
