I grew up in libraries, or at least it feels that way. I went there several times a week with my mother when I was young. Those visits were fantastic. The library might have been the first place where I was ever given autonomy (自主权). In the library, I could have anything I wanted. And on the ride back home, my mom and I would talk about the order in which we were going to read our books, a solemn conversation in which we planned how to pace ourselves through this charming period until the books were due.
When I left for college, one of the many ways I differentiated myself from my mom was that I was wild about owning books. All I know is that I lost my appreciation of the slow pace of making my way through a library and of having books on borrowed time. If my mother ever mentioned to me that she was on the waiting list for some book at the library, I got annoyed and asked why she didn’t just buy it.
But in 2011,one of my son’s school assignments was to interview someone who worked for the city. He said he wanted to interview a librarian. As my son and I drove to meet the librarian, I was flooded by a sense of absolute familiarity, a recollection of the journey of the parent and child on their way to the library. I had taken this trip so many times before, but at that moment I turned my thought on its head, and I was the parent bringing my child on that special trip.
As I walked into the library, nothing had changed — the sense of gentle, steady busyness, like a pot of water on a rolling boil (沸点), was just the same. In the library, time is dammed up — not just stopped but saved. I knew what hooked me was the shock of familiarity I felt — the way it revealed my childhood, my relationship with my mom, my love of books. However, as I was rediscovering those memories, my mother was losing all of hers.The writer Amadou Hampâté Bâ once said that in Africa,whenever an old man dies, it is like a library has burned. But if you can take something from his or her internal collection and share it, it takes on a life of its own.

This morning we’re going to head off down into the wetland, a very specific kind of wetland called the Prairie fen.
You can find Nate Fuller counting butterflies. The Sarett Nature Center needs an accurate count of Mitchell’s satyr butterflies to help preserve one of their last known habitats. They’re very particular about the kind of habitat where they can live, which is part of what makes them so rare and amazing indicators for our water quality. Today, Sarett expert Ashley Cole-Wick with Michigan’s Natural Features Inventory helps Fuller count. She says, “When I first started working on the butterfly in 2013,we had 18 populations and in 2019,we had 10.”
The Mitchell’s satyr butterfly went on the endangered species list in 1991.Initially it was thought that loss of wetlands contributed to their decline. Fuller says, “It’s not just habitat availability. The quantity and quality of groundwater coming into these wetlands seem to be a challenge for the butterfly. Nothing has all been sorted out exactly.” While the decline is likely a combination of factors, the fact that water quality might contribute is alarming because the wetlands are the headwaters for the Midwest’s rivers and streams.
A captive breeding program was started four years ago at the Toledo Zoo to help get to the bottom of the mystery. Today Director Ryan Walsh who heads the program says it’s been the only successful captive breeding program. The caterpillars spent the winter in a special weather control room that helped determine the Mitchell’s satyrs don’t do well below 4.4 degrees Celsius. With that knowledge, the program produced 1,300 new eggs, a development that may go a long way toward restoring the population. And if all goes well, may one day the Mitchell’s satyr butterfly earn a ticket off the endangered species list.
8. What are the indicators for the water quality?
A. The habitats. B. The butterflies. C. The wetlands. D. The experts.
9. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. The importance of water quality.
B. Actions taken to protect the Mitchell’s satyr butterflies.
C. The reasons why the number of Mitchell’s satyr butterflies declines.
D. The natural conditions for the Mitchell’s satyr butterflies.
10. What does the underlined word “restoring” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Preserving. B. Increasing. C. Recovering. D. Controlling.
11. What can we learn about the butterfly?
A. It can easily be found. B. It is not endangered now.
C. It will die above 4.4 degrees Celsius. D. It can be bred by humans
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. D
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章从一处湿地展开，研究人员通过保护栖息地、研究种群数量减少原因、人工养殖等各种举措来争取使一种濒临灭绝的蝴蝶恢复数量。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The Sarett Nature Center needs an accurate count of Mitchell’s satyr butterflies to help preserve one of their last known habitats. They’re very particular about the kind of habitat where they can live, which is part of what makes them so rare and amazing indicators for our water quality.(Sarett自然中心需要Mitchell’s satyr蝴蝶的精确计数，以帮助保护它们最后已知的栖息地之一。它们对生活的栖息地非常挑剔，这是它们如此稀有的部分原因，也是我们水质的惊人指标)”可知，水质的指标是一种蝴蝶。故选B。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The Mitchell’s satyr butterfly went on the endangered species list in 1991.Initially it was thought that loss of wetlands contributed to their decline. Fuller says, “It’s not just habitat availability. The quantity and quality of groundwater coming into these wetlands seem to be a challenge for the butterfly. Nothing has all been sorted out exactly.” While the decline is likely a combination of factors, the fact that water quality might contribute is alarming because the wetlands are the headwaters for the Midwest’s rivers and streams.( Mitchell’s satyr蝴蝶于1991年被列入濒危物种名单。起初，人们认为湿地的减少导致了它们的数量。Fuller说：“这不仅仅是栖息地的可用性。进入这些湿地的地下水的数量和质量似乎对蝴蝶来说是一个挑战。一切都还没有完全弄清楚。”虽然数量的减少可能是多种因素共同作用的结果，但水质可能是一个令人担忧的事实，因为湿地是中西部河流和小溪的源头)”可知，第三段的主要思想是Mitchell’s satyr蝴蝶数量减少的原因。故选C。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“With that knowledge, the program produced 1,300 new eggs, a development that may go a long way toward”以及下文“And if all goes well, may one day the Mitchell’s satyr butterfly earn a ticket off the endangered species list.(如果一切顺利，也许有一天Mitchell’s satyr蝴蝶会从濒危物种名单上消失)”可知，为了恢复这种蝴蝶的数量，动物园进行了人工繁殖项目，如果进展顺利，这种蝴蝶终有一天将不再是濒危物种，可知画线词意思是“恢复”。A. Preserving. 保留；B. Increasing.增加；C. Recovering.恢复；D. Controlling.控制。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“A captive breeding program was started four years ago at the Toledo Zoo to help get to the bottom of the mystery. Today Director Ryan Walsh who heads the program says it’s been the only successful captive breeding program.(四年前，Toledo动物园开始了圈养繁殖计划，以帮助弄清这个谜题的真相。今天，该项目负责人Ryan Walsh主任表示，这是唯一一个成功的圈养繁殖项目)”可推知，这种蝴蝶是可以人工养殖。故选D。
D
Robots are getting better at doing human jobs. That's probably good for the economy—but there are some serious downsides, too.
Machines are expected to displace about 20 million manufacturing jobs across the world over the next decade, according to a report released by Oxford Economics, a global forecasting and quantitative analysis firm.
That means about 8.5% of the global manufacturing workforce could be displaced by robots. The report also notes that the move to robots tends to create new jobs as fast as it automates them; however, it could contribute to income inequality. The use of robots is on the rise: at this point, every new robot that is installed (安装) displaces 1.6 manufacturing workers on average, according to the Oxford
