A
An important person who has made a huge impact on my life is Savannah. Savannah is my twin sister and my
life would be completely different without her. Everyone always thinks it’s amazing to have a twin and it is but
it’s also not. People always beautify having a twin. They say it’s natural to be good friends, which is true, but
nobody ever talks about the negative side of it.
People also say things like “Who’s the smarter twin?” As twins, we are constantly getting compared. In the
second grade, she got admitted to a class for advanced students. In 6th grade she was put into advanced math. I
finally got put into advanced math for 8th grade but it still wasn’t enough because by then she was in a class that
was two years ahead and mine was just one. So people called me the dumb twin.
I played soccer from the ages 5-9. I quit when I was 9 because people decided Savannah was better and I
didn’t want to hear it anymore. She still plays. We also played softball together when we were 10-11. I quit that
too mainly for the same reason.
One day when I was in 7th grade, Savannah, our friends and I were at top golf for one of their birthdays. We
were almost done playing. My friend Allison said, “Savannah, how does it feel to be losing to the unathletic
twin?” Allison didn’t play any sports either, but since she wasn’t a twin, she wasn’t getting compared to anyone.
I could write a million stories about who’s the prettier twin? Who’s the uglier twin? Who’s the funnier twin?
It never really ends. Even though we get compared, I still love Savannah and she has made such a huge impact on
my life.
As I’ve gotten older, it has less of an effect on me when people compare us. I have realized that there is
always
going to be someone out there comparing us and there is nothing I can do about it. I am growing into my own
person.

B
If you live in San Diego, you’ve probably noticed some strangely coloured water on the beach lately. You
might wonder about red tide, but it’s actually an intentional job. Scientists at UC San Diego Scripps Institution of
Oceanography and University of Washington have been experimenting with dyeing (给……染色) the ocean at
San Diego beach pink. What could they possibly be up to?
This is being done for a study that examines how fresh water on the outlet of the sea is intermixing with the
ocean. The experiment is called Plumes in Nearshore Conditions (PiNC) . “I’m excited because this research
hasn’t been done before and it’s a really unique experiment,” said Sarah Giddings, a Scripps coastal
oceanographer leading the PiNC study. “The aim is to understand how fresh water interacts with ocean waves,
since it is usually warmer than ocean water and more floating.” The researchers are hoping that this pink dye
experiment will help them record more about how pollutants and sediments (沉积物) are distributed in the ocean
water through these additions of fresh water.
The fresh water is dyed pink so that the team can easily keep track of it when fresh water is added to the sea
water. The dye does not threaten the wildlife living there and is then spotted as it progresses in the water. It is
tracked by sensors on poles that are located along the sand as well as by drones (无人驾驶飞机) . There’s also a
device that tracks the light that is given off by the pink dye. The sensors record the height of the waves, ocean
currents and temperature.
Giddings explained, “We’re bringing together a lot of different people with different expertise. I think it’s
going to have some really great results and impacts. We will combine the results from this experiment with a
former field study and computer models to help us further understand how the dyed fresh water spreads.”
5. How does the author lead in the topic of the text?
A. By showing a strange phenomenon. B. By making an assumption.
C. By quoting a well-known saying. D. By making a comparison.
6. What is the purpose of Plumes in Nearshore Conditions?
A. To introduce the benefits of dyeing sea water pink.
B. To show how fresh water combines with sea water.
C. To prove that fresh water is warmer than sea water.
D. To examine the impact of fresh water on sea water.
7. Why is pink dye used by the team?
A. It can enormously give off light. B. It can function well with sensors.
C. It can be recognized easily and eco-friendly. D. It seems to attract wildlife and spread rapidly.
8. What will the researchers do according to Giddings’ words in the last paragraph?
A. Challenge the results with some experts. B. Build more scientific computer models.
C. Experiment with dyes of another colour. D. Integrate more results of former studies.
【答案】5. A 6. B 7. C 8. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了一项关于海洋出口的淡水如何与海洋混合的研究。
【5题详解】

fresh water on the outlet of the sea is intermixing with the ocean.(这是为了一项研究而做的，该研究调查了海
洋出口的淡水是如何与海洋混合的。)”可知，作者在第一段中展示圣地亚哥海滩上的奇特现象，进而引
出文章的话题：关于海洋出口的淡水如何与海洋混合的研究。故选 A项。
