10、21（6分） We human beings need to stay in touch with nature-many studies show how much better people feel when in sight of trees. Yet even more importantly，nature itself needs us to stay in touch. Many politicians and scientists have told us that we can conquer nature，but in reality nature will always

11、be beyond our control-we do have the power to destroy it. The fate of all the animals and their habitats depends largely on our attitude towards them. Whether or not we ourselves survive depends on how well we look after the rest. For our sake as well as theirs，we need to consider it seriously.But h

12、ow can we care at all if we spend our lives indoors？Born in South London at the end of the Second World War，at least I knew what a sparrow was（theyre rare now）and you couldnt put a spade into our tiny garden without cutting a worm in half. We knew，too，that milk comes from cows and that old men can g

13、row amazing carrots on poor land. Ultra-urban（極度城市化）as we may have been，at least we were in touch.Now we have a generation who frankly are not in touch. So how can they care if the countryside is sold off to the highest bidders，and used to park helicopters，and our crops come free from Monsanto and o

14、ur livestock live in factories？They will know no other way.But if we settle for the ultra-urban life，if we allow all wilderness to be compromised and hand our farming over to industrial chemists then，quite simply，the world will fall apart-as it has been doing already. We have to rethink what agricul

15、ture is really for，and why conservation matters to us，as well as to other creatures. Changes of strategies begin with attitude and attitude begins with awareness.1、Which of the following opinions will the author be for？ATechnology will help humans control nature completely.BConquering nature is the

16、policy of human society.CHumans have to find a way to live in harmony with nature.DWe will lose control of nature with the development of society.2、The second paragraph is intended to tell us that city people in the past_.Awere in close touch with natureBmanaged to survive in the warCkilled the worm

17、s in the earth cruellyDhad a healthier diet than us3、The new generation show no concern about the ultra-urban pattern just because _Amodern agriculture doesnt need hard workBhigh profits can be made by selling city landCthey are cut off from natureDlivestock living in factories are tastier4、From the

19、alsDtum farms into big factories22（8分） We are obsessed (迷戀)with ourselves. We study our history, our psychology, our philosophy. Much of our knowledge revolves (使旋轉(zhuǎn))around humankind itself, as if we were the most important thing in the universe.But in the course of the centuries we have come to real

20、ize just how many wrong ideas weve had. We have learned of the existence of black holes, waves of space, and of the extraordinary molecular structures in every cell of our bodies.The more we discover, the more we understand that what we dont yet know is greater than what we know. The more powerful o

21、ur telescopes, the stranger and more unexpected are the heavens we see. The closer we look at the minute detail of matter, the more we discover of its profound structure.In a famous story told by Plato in the seventh book of The Republic, some men are chained at the bottom of a dark cave and see onl

22、y shadows cast upon a wall by a fire behind them. They think that this is reality. One of them frees himself, leaves the cave and discovers the light of the sun and the wider world. At first the light, to which his eyes are unaccustomed, stuns and confuses him. But eventually he can see and returns

23、excitedly to his companions to tell them what he has seen. They find it hard to believe.We are all in the depths of a cave, chained by our ignorance, our prejudices, and our weak senses reveal only shadows. If we try to see further, we are confused: we are unaccustomed. But we try. This is science.

24、Scientific thinking explores and redraws the world, gradually offering us better and better images of it, teaching us to think in ever more effective ways. Its strength is its capacity to demolish (推翻)old ideas, to reveal new regions of reality, and to construct new, more effective images of the wor

25、ld. This adventure rests upon the entirety of past knowledge, but at its heart is change.The incompleteness and the uncertainty of our knowledge, hung over the abyss (深淵) of what we dont know, does not make life meaningless: it makes it interesting and precious.1、What does the author want to tell us

26、 in the first three paragraphs?AThe new discoveries of the universe prove to be wrong.BMan has created splendid cultures in the course of centuries.COur knowledge of the universe is incomplete and uncertain.DThe existing technologies are enough for further exploration.2、The story told by Plato is me

27、ant to .Amake us aware of the cruelty of realityBencourage us to explore the unknown worldCapplaud the heroic deeds of chasing freedomDjustify our ignorance and prejudice about the world3、What does the author want to stress in the passage?AExploring the universe makes our life meaningful.BLeaving th

For thousands of years, bamboo has been used in many different ways-from food to medicine to clothi

29、ng and, in small ways, as a building material.However, bamboo is not often used as a building material in the developed world. A professor at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania is trying to change that. The professor and his students are testing the strength of bamboo.They are testing how

30、much pressure or weight it can take before breaking.Kent Harries is a professor at the University of Pittsburgh. Harries says that testing methods for bamboo need to be the same for all. They need to be standardized. Standardizing test methods for bamboo will help to bring the plant into common use.

31、 It will also give engineers and builders around the world a dependable standard.Harries says that bamboo is strong in nature. The strength of at least three species of bamboo is similar to steel.Besides its strength, bamboo has other features that make it very useful in building. He says it is resi

32、lient(有彈力的), meaning it keeps its shape and strength even under pressure.Bamboo also grows quickly. Bamboo that is suitable for construction needs much less resources than wood. The harvest cycle of bamboo is about 3 years. Softwoods such as cedar, pine and spruce have a harvest cycle of about 10 ye

33、ars. And hardwoods that come from flowering plants such as oak and walnut need more than 30 years.Bamboo is widely used as food for panda bears. It is also used for flooring and window covers. However, for building, bamboo is not used much outside its native growing area. This is mostly because of i

34、ts round shape. But there are other reasons too. People think - or have the mentality-that bamboo is a low quality building material.1、Whatistheauthormainlytalkingaboutinthepassage?AMakebambooacommon buildingmaterial.BTakeadvantageofbambooinoureveryday.CConsiderbambootobeacommonplant.DUsebambootorep

Wouldnt it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit neatly into the hand?Now something

38、like a tablet-shaped but foldable phone is about to become available. In February, South Korean electronics company Samsung and Chinas Huawei both launched foldable phones, the Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X respectively. Mobile phone use has entered the “foldable future”, The Verge noted.The technol

39、ogy could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their bendable screens, give us the larger screens we want. Meanwhile, they still fit easily into the pocket. As USA Today noted, theyre “the combination of a small tablet and smartphone, all in a single device”.The technology cou

40、ld change other devices, too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers. In crowded modem cities, they will help us to maximize available space.In a keynote address, Samsungs senior vice president of mobile product marketing, Justin De

41、nison, called the foldable screen “the foundation for the smartphone of tomorrow”. “Its a blank canvas (畫布) for us to do something beautiful together.” he said.So is there nothing to stand in the way of the foldable future? According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays wer

42、e difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of every 10 OLED (二極管) screens produced were imperfect. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to between 50 and 90 percent. However, at present these foldable devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17,500 RMBThats a price t

43、hat few people will be able to afford.But if the foldable device isnt going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming. Patrick Moorhead, an industry analyst told The Verge, “Few are debating if foldable or rollable mobile displays are the future of smartphones; the only ques

Dheivanai hoped that the children would bring joy to their household and take care of her son even after she was gone. She started saving up money for her grandchildren.The cost of

50、 keeping the children alive is Rs 4 lakhs per child because they each need ICU (Intensive Care Unit) support for the next 4-6 months of their lives.
