In the long history of humans, women’s stories have often been overlooked. Yet as modern society has allowed women to speak for themselves, more and more women are standing up to choose how to live their lives. Here are five powerful films that just might inspire you to re-imagine what it means to be a woman.

When whales die and sink to the ocean floor, their bodies — known as whale falls — provide rich nutrients for other creatures of the deep.

Chinese scientists found a whale fall in the South China Sea during a recent scientific research voyage. It was the first time that Chinese researchers had run across this rare type of ecosystem. It was an important finding, showing China’s progress in deep-sea exploration technology, Xie said, a professor at Sun Yat-sen University.

During the 22-day deep-sea exploration from March 10 to April 2, sixty scientists conducted 22 dives and successfully completed a number of scientific tasks. The research aimed to gather information about the key processes of typical seamount ecosystems in the Western Pacific: Ocean. The whale fall was found in a seamount 1,600 meters deep in the central South China Sea. Though the whale fall was only about 3 meters long, it was of great importance in understanding the sea ecosystems, Xie said.

There were dozens of white armored shrimp, red shrimp and several eels (鳗鱼) found near the whale fall. The eels were eating the tail muscles of the whale fall. This shows that the whale died not long ago and that the whale fall was still in the first stage of decomposition and thus had rare value for long-term observation, Xie said.

Like cold springs, whale falls are homes for creatures of the deep. In the northern Pacific Ocean, they have supported the survival of at least 12,490 kinds of organisms — classed in 43 species — and promote prosperity far beneath the surface, according to data from the university.

4．What do we know about the whale fall in the South China Sea?

A．It is found on March 10. B．It is a rare sea ecosystem.

C．It is a kind of cold springs. D．It is found 3 meters deep in the sea.

5．How is the Paragraph 3 organized?

A．By giving data. B．By quoting.

C．By giving definitions. D．By making a contrast.

6．What does the underlined word “prosperity” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A．Change. B．Disappearance.

C．Richness. D．Death.

7．What does the text mainly tell about?

A．A deep-sea exploration led by China.

B．The protection of deep-sea biodiversity resources in China.

C．China’s progress in deep-sea exploration technology.

D．A whale fall found in the South China Sea.

It’s normal to long for the taste of potato chips or a cheese-covered pizza. Even though they’re full of calories, eating them occasionally won’t do much harm. However, according to the new numbers, young people are becoming more gluttonous. The BBC’s Good Food Nation Survey showed that on average, 16 to 20-year-olds ate fast food at least twice a day in the UK. So what’s behind this fast food binge (狂热)?

WebMD, an online publisher of news and information of human health and well-being, surveyed nearly 600 teenagers and adults in the United States. They found that the most common reason was our busy lifestyle. More than 92.3 percent of respondents said they were too busy to cook. Many find it challenging to balance work and life, and the convenience of fast food meets their needs. Fast food is readily available in corner stores and vending machines (自动售货机). Remember those instant noodle cups from the supermarket? They’re ready in minutes, and you can store them at home for a long time.

But many people think this trend does no good. Sarah Toule, head of health information at World Cancer Research Fund, told the BBC: “It’s frightening that people, especially younger generations, are eating so much fast food loaded with fat, sugar and salt, but offers little nutritional value.”

She added, “Especially high in calories, fast food leads to unhealthy weight gain-which in turn increases the risk of 11 cancers later in life.”

So what is the right thing to do? Toule suggested that young people should prepare meals in advance and learn to include the different food groups in their diets.

8．What does the underlined phrase “more gluttonous” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A．Smarter. B．Healthier. C．Greedier. D．Lazier.

9．What is the main idea of paragraph 2?

A．People should make a change to their busy lifestyle.

B．Fast food helps people balance their work and life.

C．Fast food is becoming popular with teenagers and adults.

D．Nowadays people have more challenges both in work and life.

10．According to Sarah Toule, fast food ______.

A．can’t provide enough nutrition for eaters B．will lead to 11 cancers

C．can help lose weight D．is easy to prepare ahead of time

11．In which part of a newspaper can you read the text?

A．Culture. B．Education. C．History. D．Health.

For many people, going a few hours without your smartphone can feel like a lifetime. Now, one expert claims that humans are becoming so dependent on technology, that we’re actually merging (融合) into it.

Speaking at the Fast Company European Innovation Festival, Professor Yuval Noah Harari, a historian at the Hebrew University claimed that it’s becoming more and more difficult to tell where humans end and machines begin. He said: “It’s increasingly hard to tell where I end and where the computer begins. In the future, it is likely that the smartphone will not be separated from you at all. It may be embedded in your body or brain, constantly scanning your biometric data and your emotions.”

During his speech, Professor Harari highlighted how humans have affected our environment over time, and suggested that now may be the time to affect ourselves. He said: “Humanity has always remained constant. If we told our ancestors in the Stone Age about our lives today, they would think we are already Gods. But the truth is that even though we have developed more wonderful tools, we are the same animals. We have the same emotions, the same minds. The coming revolution will change that. It will change not just our tools, it will change the human being itself.”

If we do manage to merge with machines, Professor Harari suggests it could open the door to setting up civilizations beyond Earth. He added: “Life will be able to break out of planet Earth and no longer be confined to this flying rock.”

While Professor Harari’s claims may sound farfetched (牵强的), he isn’t alone in his vision of a machine-human world. Back in 2017, Elon Musk claimed that humans should merge with machines, or risk becoming irrelevant. He said: “Over time I think we will probably see a closer merger of biological intelligence and digital intelligence.”

12．Why does the author mention smartphone in Paragraph 1?

A．To collect data for his speech. B．To catch up with the development of science.

C．To say it is harmful to the environment. D．To have a good lead-in of the topic.

13．What do we know about Professor Harari?

A．His opinions gained much support.

B．He is the first expert to put forward the idea.

C．He thinks technology will change ourselves as well.

D．His suggestion of us staying on planet Earth is considerate.

14．What’s probably Elon Musk’s attitude to Professor Harari’s speech?

A．Neutral. B．Favourable.

C．Indifferent. D．Disapproving.

15．What is the best title for the text?

A．Humans are Near to Combining with Machines

B．Call on People to Develop Advanced Machines

C．A Speech Caused People’s Concerns on Machines

D．Finding New Ways to Break away From Apps is Vital

52．Fly Your Dreams

Everyone has his own dream. Dreams are to a person what wings are to a bird. One’s personal dream is a part of the Chinese dream.

My dream is to become an astronaut. I have always dreamed of visiting Mars ever since I heard that Mars is most like the earth and there could have been life on this planet. The more I learn about it, the more I become interested in it. I want to do research on whether it is a planet we humans can live on. Another reason why I want to go there is that I d like to learn more about Mars and write a book about it in the future.

To achieve my dream, currently I must make all efforts to study in order to be admitted to my ideal university. I am sure I can learn more professional knowledge about the universe and Mars in the university.
