2．Baggy has become the first dog in the UK-and potentially the world-to join the fight against air pollution by recording pollutant levels near the ground.
Baggy wears a pollution monitor on her collar so she can take data measurements close to the ground.Her monitor has shown that air pollution levels are higher closer to ground level，which has helped highlight concerns that babies and young kids may be at higher risk of developing lung problems.
Conventional air pollution monitors are normally fixed on lampposts at about nine feet in the air.However，since Baggy stands at about the same height as a child in a pushchair （婴儿车），she frequently records pollution levels which are much higher than the data gathered by the Environment Agency.
The doggy data research was the idea of Baggy's 13-year-old owner Tom Hunt and his dad Matt.The English youngster noticed that pollution levels are around two-thirds higher close to the ground than they are in the air at the height where they are recorded by the agency.Tom has since reported the shocking findings to the government in an attempt to emphasise that babies are at higher risk of developing asthma （哮喘）.
Matt Hunt said he was "very proud" of his son because "when the boy gets an idea，he keeps his head down and gets on with it，and he really does want to do some good and stop young kids from getting asthma."
"Tom built up a passion for environmental protection at a very early age，" Matt added. "He became very interested in gadgets （小装置）.About one year ago，he got this new piece of tech which is like a test tube.One Sunday afternoon，we went out to do some monitoring，and he said， 'why don't we put it on Baggy's collar and let her monitor the pollution？' So we did it." Tom said， "Most of the time，Baggy is just like any other dog.But for the rest of the time she is a super dog，and we are all really proud of her."
（1）With a monitor on her collar，Baggy can.
A．take pollutant readings
B．record pollutant levels
C．process collected data
D．reduce air pollution
（2）What can we learn from the Baggy data？
A．High places are free of air pollution.
B．Higher pushchairs are more risky for kids.
C．Conventional monitors are more reliable.
D．Air is more polluted closer to the ground.
（3）What is Tom's purpose of doing the research？
A．To warn of a health risk.
B．To find out pollution sources.
C．To test his new monitor.
D．To prove Baggy's abilities.
（4）According to the passage，which word can best describe Tom Hunt？
A．Modest.
B．Generous.
C．Creative.
D．Outgoing.组卷：193引用：3难度：0.5 -
3．When almost everyone has a mobile phone，why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline （座机）？
These days you'd be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn't own a mobile phone.In fact，plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket.Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere，anytime.
Still，55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter （29%）rely only on their smart phones，according to a survey.Of those Australians who till have a landline，a third concede that it's not really necessary and they're keeping it as a security blanket—19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies.I think my home falls into that category.
More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone.Age is naturally a factor—only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlines now and then，compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who've perhaps had the same home number for 50 years.Age isn't the only factor.I'd say it's also to do with the makeup of your household.
Generation Xers with young families，like my wife and I，can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member.That said，to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents，to the point where we play a game and guess who is calling before we pick up the phone（using Caller ID would take the fun out of it）.
How attached are you to your landline？How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries？
（1）What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones？
A．Their target users.
B．Their wide popularity.
C．Their major functions.
D．Their complex design.
（2）What does the underlined word "concede" in paragraph 3 mean？
A．Admit.
B．Argue.
C．Remember.
D．Remark.
（3）What can we say about Baby Boomers？
A．They like smart phone games.
B．They enjoy guessing callers' identity.
C．They keep using landline phones.
D．They are attached to their family.
（4）What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph？
A．It remains a family necessity.
B．It will fall out of use some day.
C．It may increase daily expenses.
D．It is as important as the gas light.组卷：18引用：5难度：0.5
