2．Tired of underpaid jobs and inconvenient hours，three entrepreneurial （富于企业家精神的） McLean teens decided to start their own company.
Their new company，TeenServ，aims to solve teenage unemployment with a platform that matches students and community members who need short-term assistance with various tasks.Through TeenServ，residents sign up to post jobs they need done.Teens signed up to work can choose to accept a job depending on their schedules and work preferences.Website users can pick up shifts wherever and whenever they want，making it convenient for hectic schedules.
A year ago，Jack Lannin，Quin Frew and Ben Jeannot worked as lifeguards at a local pool.Lannin told Tysons Reporter that they were upset when a pay change "almost cut their salary in half，" and they wanted to find another job but there were few options.Then they came up with the idea for TeenServ. "Aside from getting a real job，refereeing sports or yard work，there isn't really a good way to make money，" Lannin said，adding that even becoming a referee requires a significant start-up cost for teens—around ﹩70—to pay for training and a uniform.
They started out by going door to door and asking community members if they would pay teens fair wages for short-term yard work.Soon enough，they began gathering opportunities.With help from an entrepreneurship class at McLean High School and feedback from teens，the students were able to turn their idea into a reality.So far，the website has employed more than -200 teens，according to Lannin.TeenServ pays students up to ﹩18 per hour—well above Virginia's minimum wage of ﹩7.25.
The business is focused on mostly McLean for now，but TeenServ's owners hope to expand around Fairfax County.That involves building up a base of teen workers before allowing residents to post jobs elsewhere in the county.After all，if residents need time-specific jobs done，they can't be the ones waiting.
（1）What is TeenServ's goal？
A．To increase the number of teen workers.
B．To help teens decide on their future career.
C．To encourage teens to start their own business.
D．To connect community employers to local teens.
（2）What does the underlined word "hectic" in paragraph 2 mean？
A．Regular.
B．Flexible.
C．Traditional.
D．Busy.
（3）What problem did the three founders come across last year？
A．They failed to find a part-time job.
B．They received a significant pay cut.
C．They obtained little funding for their start-up.
D．They lost a game due to a referee's unfair decision.
（4）What do the three owners plan to do？
A．Create more time-specific jobs.
B．Raise Virginia's minimum wage.
C．Grow their business outside of McLean.
D．Allow McLean residents to post jobs elsewhere.组卷：8引用：2难度：0.5 -
3．Some whales are loud.Really，really loud.Their calls are strong enough to pass through rock beneath the seafloor，a new study finds.And the echoes（回声）of those songs bouncing off the rocks can help reveal the structure of the seafloor.Two scientists reported their findings in Science recently.
Seismologists（地震学家）Vaclav Kuna and John Nabelek are interested in the structure of the rock layers beneath the seafloor.The two used a network of 54 ocean-bottom seismometers in the northeast Pacific Ocean.These instruments detect waves that travel through the ground，such as those caused by earthquakes.It turns out that they can also pick up songs from a passing whale.
Underwater sounds can produce seismic echoes.When sound waves traveling through the water meet the ground，some of the waves' energy changes into a seismic wave.Those seismic waves can help scientists "see" underground as they bounce off different rock layers.The way they bounce can help researchers estimate the thickness of the layers.
Kuna and Nabelek's seismometers picked up the sound waves of a whale's six songs，which lasted from 2.5 to 4.9 hours.Echoes from the "singer" showed the researchers that its sound waves had passed through layers of underlying rock.They revealed structural details of rock layers beneath three sites over which the whale had been singing.
The new data suggest whale songs can be effective tools to study the seafloor.Large ships may perform seismic surveys using air guns.These instruments make very loud noises that can travel long distances.But their noise can also disturb ocean life—especially the behaviors of animals that rely on sound to hunt or communicate.
（1）What new characteristic of whale songs does the new study report？
A．They usually last for 2.5 to 4.9 hours.
B．They are communication tools of whales.
C．They become louder when touching the sea bottom.
D．They can be loud enough to travel through the seafloor.
（2）What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3？
A．Summarize the previous paragraphs.
B．Provide some former study results.
C．Add some background information.
D．Introduce a new topic for discussion.
（3）What information did Kuna and Nabelek get from the six songs？
A．The flowing direction of the Pacific sea waves.
B．The measurement ability of their seismometers.
C．The structure of the rock layers beneath several sea sites.
D．The variety of sea rocks in the northeast Pacific Ocean.
（4）What is wrong with using air guns to do seismic surveys？
A．It is time-consuming.
B．It is of low accuracy.
C．It is dangerous to sailors.
D．It is environmentally unfriendly.组卷：9引用：2难度：0.7
