Such type of shield has never been dug out in Europe although shields like gold ones have been found before. No wonder that scientists regard the 2,300-year-old shield to be valuable. “This is a great object used as a weapon(武器) in the Iron Age,” said Julia Farley, expert in British and European Iron Age collections.The shield was discovered in 2015 by scientists from the University of Leicester Archaeological Service in an“ animal watering hole” close to the River Soar. Organic (有机物) objects from the period rarely survive, but the shield was deposited in waterlogged (水涝的) soil that the “animal watering hole ”contains. The waterlogged soil tends to cause low temperature underground and poorly-circulated air, which makes it hard for organic things to break up.Bark shields of the period were entirely unknown in Europe and researchers had assumed that the material might have been too weak and fragile for use in war. However, experiments to remake the weapon in the same material showed the 3mm-thick shield, though very light, would have been tough enough for battle. It was likely that similar weapons were widespread.The shield is made from green bark that has been constructed with many types of wood. One of them is the green wood, which would tighten as it has dried giving the shield its strength and a shape of a figure of eight. The outside of the shield has been painted and given a special decoration. Farley said, “This is a lost technology. Maybe it s a technique that was used for making bark products in many ways.”Because so little organic material survives from the period, Farley said,”We are left with the earthworks(土木工程) and some of the ironwork. But we don t really see the everyday world of these people: the wooden houses they lived in and their clothing. So the visual world of the Iron Age is lost to us. But something like the bark shield is just a tiny window into that.”The shield has been donated to the British Museum. Farley said she hoped it would be seen by the public next year.8. Why is the newly-discovered shield considered to be valuable?A. It contains some rare materials like gold.B. Its the oldest shield found in the world so far.C. Its the only example of its kind ever found in Europe.D. Its the only weapon dating from the Iron Age of Leicestershire.9. What can we learn about the” animal watering hole”?A. It once lied in a battle field.B. It helped preserve the bark shield.C. It was buried with many artworks.D. It is close to a university.10. What assumption did scientists use to have about bark shields?A. They tended to be impractical.B. They were very light weapons.C. They were made as artworks.D. They were made of two kinds of wood.11. What was Farley s attitude to the newly-discovered shield?A. Concerned. B. Doubtful. C.Positive. D. Negative. DBirds, butterflies, bats and bees are all pollinators(传粉者). However, bees are classified as the most important pollinators for the existence of plants and harvest of produce worldwide. They contribute a lot to the produce we harvest, both directly and indirectly.There are about 20,000 bee species with the most popular being the honeybee. Kept in man- made beehives（蜂巢）, they are responsible for 30% of the food production chain for human consumption. In other words, without honeybees, there would it be 30% less produce for consumption.Bees have four needs in order to survive and the most important one is having enough food. They should store enough food to get through the drought period. The other three are: approriate climate within the hive, proper living places and available nest-building materials.However, in recent years, the number of bees is reducing considerably. There are many factors（因素） that can lead to this: the use of pesticides(杀虫剂), bacterial and parasitic infection and deforestation(滥砍滥伐). Its a mixture of these factors that can cause the bee population to dwindle. The factors should be kept in mind in order to protect the bee populations. In Aruba, there are many keepers called “Imkers”.Imkers are responsible for the production of honey, but they are also called when bees build nests in unwanted areas. They should carefully move the nest to other locations. There is a preservation program calld “Adopt-a-beehive” at the Cunucn Mondi Fierno. It encourages those who have an available place to make their place available for the temporary relocation of bee nests when needed. Donations are also welcome for this cause. Imkers play a very important role in protecting the bee populations.The Department of Nature and the Environmentl calls for the relocation of the bee nests in a natural way, instead of ridding them with pesticides. Only by protecting the bees can we guarantee their existence and their help in the production of fruits and vegetables.12.What do the figures in Paragraph 2 mainly indicate? A.The variety of the honeybee. B. The difference between bees. C.The popularity of the honeybee. D. The importance of the honeybee.13.The word“dwindle”underlined in Paragraph 4 most probably means“_”. A.remain unstable B.become smaller C.expand rapidly D. disappear completely14.What responsibility do Imkers shoulder apart from producing honey? A.Relocating some bee nests. B. Repairing nests for honeybees. C.Keeping bee nests away from pests. D.Seeking donations for bee protection.15. Whats the authors main purpose of writing the text?A.To describe the roles of Imkers. B.To present ways of protecting bees.C.To introduce different functions of bees.D.To stress the necessity of protecting bees.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Jogging can be a great way to lose weight and increase fitness. 16 For jog beginners, it is wise to follow some simple and practical jogging tips before they get started.One of the best and most important jogging tips is to buy a good pair of running shoes. 17 Besides, they should not allow the feet to roll in or out too much.
