A group of six women decided to climb Africa's highest mountain，Mount Kilimanjaro，to draw public attention（注意）to the physical condition they share.The women suffer from albinism（患有白化病）.One of the main signs of albinism is lighter-than-usual skin（皮膚）color.Other signs include white hair and pink eyes.
All the climbers say they have been looked down upon because of their albinism.In some countries women who give birth to babies with albinism are driven out by their families.Sometimes children with the condition are not accepted by their parents.Many children and adults with albinism are socially abominated.Nodumo Ncomanzi，one of the climbers，said， "I was very much made fun of at school. "Even with these problems Ncomanzi graduated from Yale University in the United States and now works on education.
Mount Kilimanjaro is 5，895 meters high and is a difficult climb for anyone.Four of the climbers reached a camp at 4，700 meters before deciding to stop on medical advice.The other two—Ncomanzi and Waithera—continued the climb.But Waithera had to stop 20 meters short of the top because of a knee pain.So in the end，Ncomanzi was the one to represent（代表）the whole team.She reached the top of Mount Kilimanjaro on October 7，2018.The team hoped that their climb could help change the public's incorrect opinion on people with the condition.

1．Trees，some of the tallest in the world，towered above Hannah Griffiths and her colleagues each morning as they walked deep into the rainforest in the Maliau Basin in Borneo，where they had set up a set of experiments to look at the ecological effects of small creatures：termites （白蟻）.
   Termites get a bum rap.They make headlines for chewing up billions of dollars of property each year in the US.And they are responsible for something like two percent of global carbon emissions，simply as a result of their huge populations and preference for chewing through carbon-rich materials.A whole industry is aiming at killing them.
   But they play a key role in many natural ecosystems.Scientists have known for years that in tropical （熱帶的） forests，termites chew up fallen leaves and dead wood，keeping the fallen material under control and letting nutrients from the dead material back into the system to be used by other plants，insects，and animals.But they didn't know exactly how important the insects were in keeping the forest healthy and functional，so they removed termites from a particular spot in the forest and saw how it responded.
   As luck would have it，Hannah Griffiths and her colleagues started their experiment when the forest was hit by an extreme drought.During the non-drought years，they saw there wasn't much difference between the normal plots and the ones where they'd removed the termites.But during the drought，the effects were marked.What they found was unexpected：in the termite-rich areas，the soil stayed slightly wet，more tree seedlings sprouted（抽芽），and the system was full of activity despite the long，hard dry spell.
   For Griffiths，it was only because they happened to study the drought that they could pick out the real importance of termites to the system，she points out."And that rings alarm bells in my head，" she says，"because it makes me think，well，what else don't we know？If we start damaging biological communities，we don't know what that will do."

（1）Which of the following best explains "a bum rap" underlined in Paragraph 2？

A．Unfair blame.
B．Wide popularity.
C．Public attention.
D．Special preference.
（2）What have scientists learned about termites？

A．They do serious harm to tropical rainforests.
B．They contribute a lot to the ecosystem they live in.
C．They act as food for other plants，insects and animals.
D．They speed up the loss of nutrition in the rainforest.
（3）What can we infer from the finding of Griffiths' experiment？

A．Termites help rainforests survive climate change.
B．Termites prefer drought years to non-drought ones.
C．Termites benefit more from the forest during the drought.
D．Termites enjoy eating tree seedlings during the drought.
（4）What does Griffiths tell us in the last paragraph？

A．Termites are now in danger of extinction.
B．Termites damage biological communities.
C．We should think twice before damaging a species.
D．We should study the drought to improve the system.

3．I'm in the area of Noailles in Marseille，F(xiàn)rance's second largest city and its main trade seaport.Some small shops sell vegetables，meat，and，it seems，all the spices of the Middle East.In addition to French，languages spoken on the busy streets include Arabic and African French.It all adds up to one of the most ethnically diverse cities in Europe.
   Close to the downtown street，I discover an Algerian restaurant，whose owner makes his signature dish—couscous with barley，not the usual wheat，using a recipe that hasn't changed since the 1920s.Couscous is an necessary part of Marseille culture.The dish was added to the UNESCO's Lists of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2020.
   To be honest，before I travelled here，couscous had not been the first meal that came to mind when I thought of Marseille.It was bouillabaisse，the rich soup with olive oil，garlic and saffron.I imagined enjoying it at a small portside cafe.This was clearly a romantic fantasy.For one thing，there are no small cafcs at historic city.For another，the restaurants do serve bouillabaisse，but when I see the price at one place I am shocked：69 euros!No bowl of soup should cost that much.
   I give up and end up two streets away from the old harbor in a new restaurant，Ourea.For 28 euros，Chef Matthieu Roche serves a three-course lunch that includes tuna steaks and couscous.
   More and more young，talented people are discovering that Marseille is an ideal place to live.There is also a growing number of Parisians moving here every year.Tired of the rush and expense of life in larger cities，the newcomers come looking for the more relaxed Mediterranean way of life.
   Walking through these contrasting neighborhoods of Marseille.I think about the distinct communities here living in the same neighborhoods- together，side，by，side，but not mixed.They may also feel they are Marseillais first regardless of nationalities.

（1）Which word can best describe Marseille according to the first paragraph？

A．Remote.
B．Commercial.
C．Industrial.
D．Inland.
（2）What made the author leave the Algerian restaurant？

A．The unreasonable charge.
B．The unbearable flavor.
C．The unsatisfying service.
D．The noisy atmosphere.
（3）Why do the newcomers choose Marseille rather than other big cities？

A．To make a fortune.
B．To experience a dish.
C．To learn a language.
D．To live a leisurely life.
（4）In which column of a magazine can we probably read the text？

A．Fashion.
B．Food.
C．Trade
D．Travel.
