    The Haskell Free Library and Opera House might not be as well known as the Grand Canyon or the Statue of Liberty. 1.. Completed in 1904, the building is stationed directly between Stanstead, Quebec, and Derby Line, Vermont. with the official US -Canada borderline running right across the library's floor.

Martha Stewart Haskell and her son, Colonel Horace Stewart Haskell, both Canadians, built the building as a tribute(悼念) to Mrs Haskell's late husband, Carlos.2..

While the library’s official entrance is on the US side of the building, most of the books are on the Canadian side.3.. The Opera House is similarly split, with most of its seats in the US and its stage in Canada. As Atlas Obscura reported, it is often said that the Haskell is the only library in the US with no books, and the only opera house in the country with no stage.

Passports and other forms of identification aren’t required to cross from country to country in the library, though the Haskell's website notes that the border inside the building“ is real and it is enforced”. 4.. If they don't, they risk possible detention and fines.

Even beyond the building's unique position,library director Nancy Rumery told CTV News that Haskell staffers-Canadian and American alike-consider the institution to be like any other library in the world

“We’re just trying to be the best library we can.5..” she said. “These are all our neighbors and we do our very best to help them on their life-long learning journey. ”

A.The Haskell is full of mysterious places.

B.The Haskell is divided between the two countries.

C.Visitors have access to a variety of cultural resources.

D.Visitors are expected to their side of the border after a visit.

E.It’s undoubtedly one of America's most unique tourist attractions.

F.Our community is made up of people from two different countries

G.The family hoped that citizens would use it as a “center for learning and cultural enrichment”

    You have probably heard that Japan has among the highest life expectancy(预期寿命) in the world and that the island of Okinawa(冲绳) has the greatest concentration(浓度) of centenarians(百岁老人). But do you know that two-thirds of the centenarians are still functioning independently? That means they are in their own homes, cooking their own meals and living their lives fully - at about 100 years old!

The elders there are less likely than their counterparts in the United States to have heart disease, dementia(痴呆) or certain cancers. Their bones are stronger than those of similarly aged people around the world. Many of these residents are the subjects of one of the largest studies of centenarians ever conducted. Since 1976, nearly a thousand centenarians on the islands have been studied.

More than anything, the Okinawa diet has long captured the headlines. Before knowing what the Okinawans eat, there is a valuable lesson in how they eat.

Remember this term: hara hachi bu. It is translated into English as “Stop eating when you are 80% full.” With hara hachi bu, the philosophy is that you should still be a little hungry when you push the plate away. You are also advised to reduce your portion(食物的分量) sizes, use smaller plates and eat more slowly.

There is a basic biological (生物学的) reason this works. It takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to send signals to the brain that it is full. Unfortunately, most people can shovel down another several hundred calories in that short time. Instead, if you push the plate away and just wait, you will have eaten less and still feel satisfied.

Eating less is associated with longevity, but of course, that also depends on what you eat. Okinawans typically eat seven different fruits and vegetables and 18 different foods a day, and more than 200 different foods and spices regularly in their overall diet.

However, the younger generations are eating more meat and fast food instead of fish and soy. The elderly there are still widely revered(崇敬), but there are fewer of them, and they are less often living to 100 than in decades past.

1.What is the key to the high life expectancy in Okinawa?

A.What they eat B.How they eat

C.Where they live D.When they exercise

2.Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined part “shovel down” in Paragraph 5?

A.fill in B.put down

C.fill out D.push away

3.Which of the following statements about Okinawa is true?

A.The elderly are in bad need of mutual respect.

B.There are an increasing number of the elderly.

C.The younger generations have a varied diet.

D.Things are starting to change for the worse.

4.Which could be the best title for the passage?

A.Eat less to live longer.

B.Healthy diets build longevity.

C.The Okinawa: a place of longevity.

D.Improve life expectancy? Slow down.

    Lin Hanxing is a 30-year-old who lives in Beijing. She owns just five shirts, two pairs of pants, four pairs of shoes and a few other things. It's hard to believe that only five years ago, Lin was one of those people who couldn't stop buying stuff. Back then, she had more than 400 pieces of clothing and handbags

But that was before she saw an online challenge in 2014, introduced by Joshua Becker, a blogger in the United States who was promoting(推广) a minimalist lifestyle(极简生活方式). He encouraged people to reduce the number of their belongings to fewer than 100. Lin wasn’t strongly against it, so she got rid of 90 percent of her stuff. She also deleted(删除) 120 contacts she never spoke to from her social networking account. After doing all that, Lin said she felt “lighter”.

We used to think owning more was the way to lead a rich life. But now many people tend to believe that the opposite is also true--and perhaps truer.

According to US sociologist Joel Stillerman, people who are educated and well-off are more likely to have a minimalist lifestyle. “These people are making the statement: ‘I can afford to have less.’,”he said.

But leading a minimalist lifestyle doesn't mean spending less. A report by UK market research company Euromonitor found young Chinese people spend less on possessions, but more on short holidays and visits to the movies.

“They are looking for a life that is all about culture,” Alison Angus, head of lifestyles at Euromonitor, said about Chinese youth.

So perhaps it all comes down to how we define(定义) “rich”. Is wealth in life about buying more and owning more, or is it about having a more colorful life?

1.The author mentioned the change of Lin Hanxing to _______.

A.introduce the minimalist lifestyle

B.encourage us readers to buy less

C.explain the popularity of owning less

D.explain the importance of a new lifestyle

2.What’s Lin Hanxing’s attitude towards the online challenge in the beginning?

A.She was very fond of it.

B.She thought it worth a try.

C.She was strongly against it.

D.She thought it must be painful.

3.According to the passage, young Chinese people care more about _______.

A.possessions B.culture

C.education D.clothes

4.If one is rich, he is more likely to _______.

A.spend less B.buy more

C.own less D.experience more

    James Dyson, the inventor of the bagless vacuum cleaner, is now the wealthiest person in Briton after his company posted a record profit for 2018. But how did he make his fortune?

My father died when I was nine, and I remember doing the household chores to help my mother. I hated changing the vacuum cleaner bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up.

Thirty years later, in 1979, I was doing chores at home alongside my wife. One day the vacuum cleaner was screaming away, and I had to empty the bag because I could not find a replacement for it. With this lifelong hatred of the way the machine worked, I decided to make a bagless vacuum cleaner.

Easier said than done, of course. I didn’t realize that I would spent the next 15 years perfecting my design, a process that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes (设计原型). By the time I made my 15th prototype, my third child was born. By 2,627, my wife and I were really counting our pennies. By 3,727, my wife was giving art lessons for some extra cash, and we were getting further and further into debt. These were tough times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.

I just had a passion for the vacuum cleaner as a product, but I never thought of going into a business with it. In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements (许可协议) for my technology. The reality was very different, however. The major vacuum makers had built a business model based on the profits from bags and filters (过滤器). No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business.

That gave me the courage to keep going, but soon after, the companies that I had talked with started making machines like mine. I had to fight legal battles on both sides of the Atlantic to protect the patents (专利) on my vacuum cleaner. However, I was still in financial difficulties until 1993, when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me $1 million. Then I was able to go into production. Within two years, the Dyson vacuum cleaner became a best-seller in Britain.

Today, I still view risk and the potential for failure as part of the process. Nothing beats the excitement of invention. Go out and brainstorm your ideas. You are not limited by any rules — in fact, the stranger and riskier your idea, the better.

1.Which of the following provided inspiration for Dyson’s invention?

A.The death of his father B.The scream of his wife

C.The hatred of homework chores D.The trouble the cleaner bag brings

2.Why was Dyson’s vacuum cleaner not accepted at first?

A.Because the vacuum makers profited from bags and filters.

B.Because Dyson’s vacuum cleaner still needed to be improved.

C.Because the major vacuum makers had updated their products.

D.Because Dyson’s vacuum cleaner didn’t get licensing agreements.

3.Dyson’s machine got into production _____________.

A.before the legal battles B.after becoming famous

C.upon applying for the patent D.in spite of financial difficulties

4.The author’s real purpose of writing the passage is to _______.

A.emphasize the necessity of brainstorming our ideas

B.explain the development of the vacuum cleaner

C.introduce Dyson and his vacuum cleaner

D.urge people to accept risks and failure

Ai-Petri Bridges, Crimea

The views of the Crimean coast from the top of 1,234-metre high Ai-Petri Mount are amazing. The hanging bridges built in recent years can reach the top of the mount. If just walking across the bridges is not dangerous enough, it also happens to be one of the windiest places in the world. It is said that the bridges blow from side to side as wind speeds reach 170 kilometres per hour for 125 days of the year. It’s also very foggy, so you may not be able to see clearly!

U Bein Bridge, Myanmar

This five-metre-high, 1.2-kilometre wooden footbridge does not look as dangerous as the others, but do not be fooled. It was built in the 1850s and it’s certainly feeling its age! Some of the old wood is not as strong as it used to be. It is easy to lose your footing. Although there is no handrail (栏杆), large numbers of tourists cross it every day. When the tourists arrive in the evening to watch the beautiful sunset, this bridge could become the most dangerous of them all!

The Trift Bridge, Switzerland

At 100 metres high and 170 metres long, this is one of the highest bridges in the world. Built in 2004, the bridge is hidden among the high Swiss Alps. You wouldn’t have wanted to walk across the bridge before its repair in 2009. But if you have the courage to cross this bridge, you’d better do it quickly!

The Hussaini Hanging Bridge, Pakistan

In the mountainous area of Northern Pakistan, the Hussaini Hanging Bridge helps travelers cross the Borit Lake. However, you will not feel too confident when you get close to this bridge. It’s one of the oldest bridges in Pakistan and many locals use it every day to travel to work and school — imagine losing your homework over the side of this bridge! It’s made from rope, with a few pieces of wood that have large gaps (空隙) between them. Step carefully!

1.What can we learn about U Bein Bridge?

A.It’s very popular at sunset.

B.It’s safest for people to cross.

C.It’s the oldest bridge in the world.

D.It’s made from rope without handrails.

2.One may not enjoy the views clearly on ________.

A.U Bein Bridge B.Ai-Petri Bridges

C.The Trift Bridge D.The Hussaini Hanging Bridge

3.What do the bridges mentioned in the text have in common?

A.All require serious repair.

B.All top highest in their country.

C.All have a history of one century.

D.All require plenty of courage to cross.

Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?

We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.” 1. According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.

2. If the air you’re breathing is clean—which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles(肌肉) and your brain.

Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing(治愈). 3. In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood(情绪).Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. 4. It gives us a great feeling of peace.

5.While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin D  . To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin—put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D  .

A.Fresh air cleans our lungs.

B.So what are you waiting for?

C.Being in nature refreshes us.

D.Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.

E.But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?

F.Just as importantly, we tend to associate air with health care.

G.All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.

    For Canaan Elementary’s second grade in Patchogue, N.Y., today is speech day, and right now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.

But he’s nervous. “I’m here to tell you today why you should … should…” Chris trips on the “-ld,” a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher, Thomas Whaley, is next to him, whispering support. “…Vote for …me …” Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion, Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.

A son of immigrants, Chris stared learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls(回想起) how at the beginning of the year, when called upon to read, Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.

Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any student,” Whaley explains, “especially for a student who is learning English as their new language, to feel confident enough to say, ‘I don’t know, but I want to know.’”

Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast(夸耀) about themselves.

“Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities,” Whaley says, “is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”

1.What made Chris nervous?

A.Telling a story. B.Making a speech.

C.Taking a test. D.Answering a question.

2.What does the underlined word “stumbles” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A.Improper pauses. B.Bad manners. C.Spelling mistakes. D.Silly jokes.

3.We can infer that the purpose of Whaley’s project is to _________.

A.help students see their own strengths

B.assess students’ public speaking skills

C.prepare students for their future jobs

D.inspire students’ love for politics

4.Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher?

A.Humorous. B.Ambitious. C.Caring. D.Demanding.

    Nowadays parents and their children are spending less and less time communicating with each other.1.It is reported that American parents today spend about 40 percent less time with their children than parents did a generation ago. To keep your family time creative and enjoyable, below is a list of helpful family time tips.1. Eat together & listen to each otherMost children today don’t know the meaning of a family dinnertime. Yet thecommunication and unity built during this time is necessary to a healthy family life. Sharing a meal together allows parents and their children the opportunity to talk about each other’s lives.2..2. Read oftenIt’s important for parents to read to their children. The latest research shows that reading to your children develops an interest in knowledge and contributes to language development. It also increases their concentration on things and helps them become more curious.3.After reading, ask questions about what the books are about.3. Start a hobby or projectChoose a fun activity that your children are interested in. Activities like cooking, fishing or biking can be their great hobbies.4.. Once a child learns a new skill, let him or her take the lead under your direction.4. Plan a family outing5.. Jump into the family car and go for a drive. Prepare a picnic lunch and visit a local park. Take time to play or ride a bike. A slow and relaxing walk in the woods will help parents communicate with their children better. Also, a visit to the zoo or museum will inspire enthusiasm in a child and lead to long discussions.

A.It is very important for children to exercise.

B.They can open the door to exciting family time.

C.Sometimes getting out of the house is important.

D.Look for books that your children would enjoy reading.

E.New technology has made video games more popular with children.

F.This is also a time for parents to listen and give advice to their children.

G.As a result, many children are getting less love than their parents once got.

    The wildfires damaging parts of Australia can be seen from space in new satellite images released by NASA. Australia's capital, Canberra, was enveloped in a smoky haze Sunday and air quality at midday was measured at 10 times the usual dangerous limit. The damaging fires have killed at least 24 people in Australia and destroyed almost 2,000 homes. The early and damaging start to Australia’s summer wildfires, fed by drought and the country's hottest and driest year on record, has also been catastrophic (毁灭性的) for the country's wildlife, likely killing nearly 500 million birds, reptiles and mammals in New South Wales alone, Sydney University ecologist Chris Dickman told the Sydney Morning Herald.

Under such extreme conditions, the fires have been generating enough heat to create their own weather systems, including fire-generated thunderstorms and fire tornadoes. Thousands of firefighters continued to fight the flames that have burned millions of acres in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, an area twice the size of Maryland. In New South Wales, the rural fire service (RFS) said as of Sunday there were 150 fires active in the state, 64 of them uncontrolled.

On Saturday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced that, for the first time in Australian history, 3,000 army, navy and air force reservists (后备军人) will battle against the fires. He also committed $14 million to hiring fire-fighting aircraft from overseas. On Sunday, cooler temperatures and lighter winds brought some relief to threatened communities, a day after thousands were forced to escape as flames reached the suburban areas of Sydney. Thousands of firefighters fought to contain the fires, but many fires continued to burn out of control, threatening to wipe out rural townships and causing almost incalculable damage to property and wildlife.

1.What does the underlined phrase “fed by” mean ?

A.get food from someone B.be strengthened by something

C.be destroyed by something D.under control of something

2.Why were there thunderstorms and tornadoes ?

A.Because the fires generated thunderstorms and tornadoes.

B.Because there was rainy weather.

C.Because the fires generated enough heat to create extreme weather.

D.Because the weather systems is easy to change.

3.What can we learn form the last paragraph ?

A.Many soldiers will fight against the fires as they have done before.

B.Fires were controlled due to cooler temperatures and lighter winds.

C.A lot of people moved out of the suburban areas.

D.Damage to property and wildlife is limited.

4.What would be the best title for this passage ?

A.Australia's destructive wildfires B.Soldiers fought against the fires

C.Wildlife died form the fires D.Australia’s wildfires was under control

    When Ariyah Georges was born 15 weeks early, she weighed only one pound, 12 ounces. Her mother, Jovan, knew how important breastfeeding was, especially for a premature (早产的) baby like Ariyah, so she began pumping milk to feed her through a tube. But two days later, Jovan felt dizzy and feverish — 104 Fahrenheit degrees, in fact. She had a blood disease and was close to full shock.

She was separated from others for nearly two weeks at the regional Northern Virginia hospital where she'd delivered. During that time, she could still pump breast milk, but Ariyah couldn't consume it because of the risk of infection. Without it, the newborn was particularly easily affected by diseases. There are many cases like this, which creates the need for the milk donation.

Enter donor milk breast milk purchased by hospitals for mothers who aren't able to produce enough milk on their own, due to health complications, stresses, or other factors. The milk comes from milk banks, organizations that collect and screen breast milk from those women willing to donate. Usually processed in intensive-care units, the milk is only available by prescription.

In recent years, both milk banks and the use of donated human milk have risen swiftly in the United States. In 2011, 22 percent of NICUs used donor breast milk; four years later, that number doubled to nearly 40 percent, and went even higher for the most intensive NICUs — as much as 75 percent. There are 23 milk banks in the United States recognized by the Human Milk Banking Association of North America, or HMBANA, double the number that existed five years ago.

But as the demand for donor milk rises, banks must find more charitable donors — a task made more complicated by informal networks of milk sharing that happens online. And many of the most vulnerable infants are still not being reached.

1.Jovan couldn't feed her baby Ariyah on her breast milk because_______.

A.Ariyah was a premature baby B.Jovan couldn't produce enough milk

C.Jovan was separated from others D.Jovan was in poor health.

2.By telling the story of Ariyah and her mother, the writer wants to______.

A.tell us what to do if mothers cannot produce enough milk.

B.remind us of the importance of breastfeeding the newborn.

C.introduce the topic of an increasing need for donated human milk.

D.warn us against the risk of the newborn being affected by diseases.

3.How is the writer's idea mainly developed in Paragraph 4?

A.By following time order. B.By listing statistics.

C.By giving examples. D.By making predictions.

4.What problem are milk banks now faced with?

A.It's difficult to find enough charitable donors.

B.networks of milk looking for donors online are informal.

C.The milk purchased from milk banks cannot reach infants' home.

D.The number of women willing to donate breast milk are decreasing.

    In her 17 years on this earth, Shreyaa Venkat has done more to help the planet and the people living on it than many adults. The non-profit organization she founded, NEST4US, has helped tens of thousands of people in the United States. Through it, it’s served over 12,000 homeless people in the Washington, D.C. area by providing food and other supplies.

Venkat’s passion for helping others started as soon as she could walk, as her parents, active volunteers themselves, brought her along on their various projects, like some creative ways to volunteer. By fifth grade, she’d developed such enthusiasm for it that she started organizing her own service projects in her community.

NEST4US was born when she realized how much food waste there is, how many hungry people there are, and how simple it would be to use the former to help the latter. “There was a homeless man standing on a corner in D.C. and he was holding a sign that said ‘Hungry Need Food’,” she recalls. “So I gave him my lunch and his whole face just lit up. It was so easy, it only took me 30 seconds, and it really helped him.”

As NEST4US took off, with hundreds of volunteers helping to feed thousands of hungry people, Venkat decided to branch out with her volunteer efforts, starting three other branches of NEST4US. Serving others had become such a way of life for her that she even celebrated her 13th birthday at a homeless shelter, bringing the party to them instead of expecting gifts for herself.

As much as she has helped others, they’ve helped her too. Not only does she get a lot of joy and personal satisfaction from her volunteer work but running NEST4US has taught her important life skills like time management, public speaking, writing, and leadership. “What it’s really given me is this opinion of putting other people first,” she says.

1.What can we infer about NEST4US from the first paragraph?

A.Its main aim is to make money. B.It offers people cheap supplies.

C.It takes in all homeless people. D.It is a charity organization.

2.What caused Venkat to set up NEST4US?

A.Her parents’ constant suggestion. B.The memory of her hard childhood.

C.Her experience of helping a hungry man. D.Volunteers’ great influence on her.

3.Why did Venkat spend her 13th birthday at a homeless shelter?

A.She held a grand party for many people.

B.She could receive many nice gifts there.

C.She got much personal satisfaction from it.

D.She saw helping others as part of her life.

4.Which of the following best describes Shreyaa Venkat?

A.Caring. B.Ambitious.

C.Humorous. D.Demanding.

China’s New Wildlife Trade Ban and Upcoming Law Amendment（修正案）

March 05, 2020 “Lisa” Ning Hua

The Coronavirus Outbreak in China, has been identified by the World Health Organization as a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” or “PHEIC.” Seventeen years after the horrific SARS outbreak, the coronavirus has once again shown a spotlight on the risks of consuming wildlife as food and encouraged public outcry to ban wild meat consumption in China.

This challenge is not unique to China. Epidemics, such as Ebola, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy or Mad Cow Disease, Avian Influenza, and SARS, all originate from wildlife.

To combat the outbreak, China announced a suspension on wildlife trade across the country in January and a crackdown (i.e., stricter enforcement) on illegal activities involving wildlife. The country’s top legislature also initiated a process for amending the current Wildlife Protection Law and announcing a decision this week to ban the trade of wildlife as food and tighten the crackdown on illegal wildlife trade.

While this is all very good news, it should be noted that the ban is not permanent and will automatically expire（失效）when the amendments to the Wildlife Protection Law become effective. Further, key details regarding ban enforcement have yet to be clarified to ensure it serves its purpose.

Potential energy is the energy, chemical or physical, stored within an object, atom or molecule（分子）. Think about a car at the top of a roller-coaster （过山车）, pausing just before it slopes into the next turn. A log resting in a fireplace just before it is about to be lit is a treasure house of potential energy. As the log burns, the connections between carbon atoms that make up the wood are being broken down, and the potential energy stored within those connections is being released as heat and light. As a comet approaches a planet or star, it slows, momentarily affected by the larger body’s gravity. The potential energy builds up and then reaches a breaking point as the comet accelerates around the larger body, and is shot out to the other side.

Sports show countless examples every day of potential energy being transformed into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of movement. When an archer（弓箭手）draws and holds her arrow, her bow is filled with stored potential energy. When she releases the bowstring, all the potential energy is quickly transformed into kinetic energy, which is transferred to the arrow that takes flight.

The transformation of stored potential energy into kinetic energy can also be made use of to power homes, factories and entire cities. The most notable example is the Hoover Dam. The Hoover Dam is an arch-gravity dam by design. This design name is the first clue as to how exactly the dam makes use of energy. Located in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, the Hoover Dam formed, and now holds back Lake Mead — the largest reservoir in the United States.

Gravity acts as a force upon Lake Mead. Held at bay by the Hoover Dam, the waters of Lake Mead and the Colorado River gain greater potential energy with each passing moment. The Arizona and Nevada spillways（溢洪道）are two means by which the waters of Lake Mead can escape the dam. As the lake water falls over the walls into a spillway, potential energy is instantly transformed into kinetic energy. The channels through which the water normally escapes every day are the four intake towers. These towers allow the water flow through passageways to the powerhouse and hydroelectric generators. When the water reaches the intake towers and is allowed to flow down through the passageways, all the stored potential energy created by the force of gravity acting upon the water is transformed into kinetic energy, just as when water flows over the wall into a spillway. By taking advantage of the transformed potential energy of Lake Mead, the Hoover Dam provides power to California, Nevada and Arizona.

Moments like these happen all across the physical world, whether on the molecular or universe level.

    In November 2016, two influential art curators（艺术策展人）threw a memorable party in Shanghai. The hosts — Linyao Kiki Liu, and Klaus Biesenbach, — picked an unusual place for the great event: a repaired underground bomb shelter. That night it was filled mostly with an oversea crowd that had flown in to celebrate the art event. Shanghai seemed determined to present itself as a new centre of the art world.

Chinese contemporary art was actually born in Beijing. In 1979, soon after the country began rolling out economic reforms, a small group of artists held an unofficial exhibition, which lasted just two days but the seed for China’s grass roots arts movement was sown. By the early 2000s the 798 arts district in the north-east of the city was becoming a vital destination for international dealers and curators. Now Shanghai is competing with Beijing to become China’s cultural capital.

Shanghai’s initial embrace of art was restricted. Beginning in the early 2000s, a few local galleries supported a scattering of artists. There were no more than a handful of museums. The prospect of hosting Expo 2010 helped motivate Shanghai’s local government to encourage property developers to launch an ambitious urban-regeneration programme that would reframe the city as a cultural hub. At the heart of this renewal was West Bund, a 9.4km belt of Shanghai riverside, whose old industrial buildings and former airport were to be repurposed under the declaration “Culture First, Industry Oriented”.

In 2014 two landmark contemporary-art museums opened there — the Long Museum and Yuz Museum. The same year also saw the introduction of Le Freeport West Bund, a warehouse built to help the tax-free import, export and storage of artworks, a prime example of the city’s market-friendliness.

The inflow of collectors triggered by the series of events presented an important opportunity for galleries to hold exhibitions, unveil new spaces and host parties. Much of the activity took place in the newest art facilities — West Bund and the Power Station of Art.

All the glamour, though, cannot mask the concern felt by some artists and gallerists in Shanghai. Does projecting the city as such a high-end, outward-looking hub risk endangering some of other important corners of the city? Rapid gentrification（中产阶级化）is already forcing many small businesses, like the family-run noodle joints and the bicycle-repair shops, to close down. And indeed,  the art party, Shelter, is due to close after the Culture Bureau refused to renew its lease（租约）.

This upgrading of the city is already affecting the arts sector. Rising rents — a direct outcome of urban redevelopment—have made the production of art in Shanghai difficult, forcing artists to the city’s fringes, and beyond. It risks crushing the kind of grass roots, artist-led initiatives on which so much of China’s contemporary art was founded. The shift also affects galleries. Three of the city’s most important names — MadeIn Gallery, Aike Dellarco and ShanghART — have relocated this year from Shanghai’s original art hub, M50, to West Bund. Their departure will mean fewer visitors to M50’s remaining lower-tier, entry-level galleries for whom a move to West Bund is out of the question. If M50 struggles, that may affect new artists seeking representation in the city.

The cultural transformation of Shanghai has been astonishing. But it risks threatening the kind of complex and sustainable engagement that a lively arts sector needs. If local government can encourage affordable spaces for young artists and help promote a climate where artists and art professionals can prosper, then this most dynamic of cities might truly have it all.

1.“Linyao Kiki Liu, and Klaus Biesenbach” are mentioned at the beginning of the passage to show that _____.

A.Shanghai has been racing to become China’s cultural capital.

B.Shanghai encourages property developers to build museums.

C.Shanghai is appealing to more celebrities（名人）to go sight-seeing.

Dec 21st 2018

On December 19th Gatwick airport, Britain’s second-biggest, was forced to close due to several sightings of drones（无人机）flying near its runways. The airport only reopened on the morning of December 21st.   ①  .

The potential for an incident of this scale has been recognized for some years now. The falling price of small drones in recent years has resulted in the number flying dangerously near aircraft to rise sharply.   ②  .

This is a threat that the authorities have to take seriously. Recent research suggests that small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be much more damaging than birds — a surprisingly common cause of aircraft crashes — at the same impact speed, even if they are a similar weight. The researchers found that the drones’ rigid and dense materials—such as metal, plastic and lithium batteries—can put aero planes at much greater risk than a bird carcass（动物尸体）. If a drone were to hit an aircraft’s fan blades when it is operating at its highest speed, the blades could break and power to the engine could be lost.

③  . But it also underlined the potential for destruction that drones afford. The British police do not think that terrorism was the motivation behind the latest incident at Gatwick. According to the Daily Telegraph, a British newspaper, environmental activists are suspected of being behind the attack, which has happened before.

As attention turns to what can be done to prevent a repeat, two solutions stand out. The first is regulation. Regulators in America and Britain already ban drones from flying too close to airports. America has introduced a compulsory registration scheme for drones and Britain plans to follow suit.

But as the chaos at Gatwick shows, even serious punishments will not stop those intending to cause harm deliberately.   ④  . Technology is the second, and more important, answer to the threat. In the US the FAA has experimented with a system. Drones can have pre-programmed software that keeps them away from prohibited areas, an approach known as “geofencing”. British engineers have come up with a system that catches drones with a net and then softly lands them with a parachute. Dutch police have even attempted to train eagles to catch drones in the sky and return them to their trainers as if they were song birds. The closure at Gatwick will give ideas such as these a mighty push forward.

1.Compared to birds, drones have become a more serious threat to airplane crash in that _____.

A.drones are much heavier than birds in general

B.drones usually fly even faster than birds

C.drones will attack airplanes on purpose

D.drones are made of rigid and dense materials

2.The sentence “The extended closure of Gatwick was a justified response to this threat.” should be put in _____.

A.① B.②

C.③ D.④

3.It can be inferred from the article that _____.

A.The decreasing size of drones recently has led to frequent accidents of this kind.

B.Among the solutions, technology is considered to be a more reliable one.

C.The FAA has adopted a “geofencing” system with the help of trained eagles.

D.The British police think environmentalists conducted the latest incident at Gatwick.

4.What can be a suitable title for the article?

A.Drones or birds, which is more harmful?

B.How to stop unmanned aerial vehicles?

C.Several drones close Gatwick airport.

D.Drones have become a pressing issue.

    Scientists say they have used the gene-editing tool CRISPR to repair a person’s eyesight for the first time. The CRISPR tool makes it possible to change DNA to add needed genes or take some away if they lead to problems.

A patient recently had the procedure done for an inherited form of blindness. The operation took place at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland. “We literally have the potential to treat people who are essentially blind and make them see,” said Charles Albright. He is chief scientific officer at Editas Medicine in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Editas is one of the companies developing the treatment. Albright added, “We think it could open up a whole new set of medicines to go in and change your DNA.”

The people taking part in the study have a genetic condition that keeps the body from making a protein needed to turn light into signals to the brain, which leads to sight.

Scientists have found it difficult to treat the condition with usual gene therapy. So, they are aiming to edit or remove the mutation（突变）by making two cuts on either side of it. The hope is that the ends of DNA will reconnect and make the gene work as it should. Through a tube the width of a human hair, doctors put three drops of fluid containing the gene editing machinery just under the retina（视网膜）, which is the lining at the back of the eye that contains the light-sensing cells. Doctors believe they need to fix one-tenth to one-third of the cells to repair vision. In animal tests, scientists were able to correct half of the cells with the treatment, Albright said.

Some independent experts were hopeful about the new study. Dr. Kiran Musunuru is a gene-editing expert at the University of Pennsylvania. He said the treatment seems likely to work, based on tests in mice and monkeys. The gene editing tool stays in the eye and does not travel to other parts of the body. So, “If something goes wrong, the chance of harm is very small.” Musunuru said. “It makes for a good first step for doing gene editing in the body.”

1.Who can most possibly benefit from this new treatment?

A.Patients who are essentially color-blinded.

B.Patients who turn blind due to accidents or diseases.

C.Patients who are born with no ability to see.

D.Patients who lose their vision at a young age.

2.Which is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

A.The result of the treatment.

B.The theory of the treatment.

C.The difficulty of the treatment.

D.The disadvantage of traditional treatment.

3.What is likely to be discussed after the last paragraph?

A.The function of the gene-editing tool.

B.The limitation of the gene-editing tool.

C.The effect of the treatment on animals.

D.The research of the treatment on humans.

    One afternoon many years ago, I parked my car by the street, waiting to_______ my mother from work. 

As I looked outside the car window to my right, there was a small park where I saw a little boy, around two years old, running freely on the grass as his mother _______ from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been _______ from some sort of prison. The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, and without hesitation or without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, _______ nothing had happened.

Actually, with kids, when they fall down, they don’t think of their falling down as failure; _______, they treat it as a learning experience. They _______ try and try again until they succeed. While I was _______ by the boy’s persistence, I was equally touched by the manner in which he ran. With each _______, he looked so confident and so natural. No _______ of fear, nervousness, or of being discouraged — as if he didn’t give a care about the world around him.

His only aim was to run freely and to do it as effectively as he could. He was just being a child — being just himself completely in the moment. He was not looking for approval or was not worrying about ________ someone was watching or not. He wasn’t ________ about being judged. He didn’t seem to be ________ by the fact that maybe someone would see him fall and that it would be ________ if he did fall. No, all that ________ to him was to accomplish the task or activity at hand to the best of his ability — to run and to feel the experience of running fully and freely. I learned a lot from that ________ and experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits in life.

________, I’ve always believed that in each of us is a little child with absolute courage, a child that has the ability to run freely without a care for anything external（外在的）. I believe that courageous part of us — that courageous child ________ us all, will always be with us ________ we live. We only need to allow it to emerge more fully. We only need to once again ________ that child within us — and give that child permission to run freely, just like that boy in the ________.
