Marine bilgists think the ceans might hst mre than 2m species f marine animals, f which they 22 （recrd） perhaps nly a tenth s far. A new initiative hpes t change this. 23 （launch） in Lndn n April 27th, Ocean Census aims t discver 100,000 new species f marine animal ver the cming decade.
The initiative is happening nw fr tw reasns. One is that, the lnger scientists wait, the less there will be t catalgue. Climate change is heating the ceans, as well as making them mre acidic.

Otherwise, the risk is f the frest burning dwn and nt knwing 25 was there befre it was lst.
The secnd reasn is technlgical. Marine bilgists find abut 2,000 new species a year, a rate hardly changed since Darwin’s day. Ocean Census is betting that it 26 g faster. “Cyber taxnmy”, fr instance, invlves 27 （feed） DNA sequences frm animals int cmputers, 28 can quickly decide whether it is a new species.

Is a Science-Based Educatin the Way t G?
In this present age when we are heavily dependent n science and technlgy, a science-based educatin system naturally becmes prevalent t equip the yung with knwledge f the 41 f ur wrld arund them. The varius disciplines f science, such as bilgy and astrnmy, certainly help us t grasp nt nly the 42 f Earth, but als the significance f human beings in the universe. Mrever, as peple naturally have an inbrn desire t cntrl the envirnment, a science-based educatin seems t be well 43 t humanity’s inquisitive nature. 44 , it remains questinable whether a science-based educatin is able t paint a cmplete picture f the wrld.
Certainly, it equips us with the knwledge f 45 which is necessary fr us t make sense f the wrld. By laying the fundatin f the skills in students, they will be equipped with the necessary skills t discver the wrld as 46 by science tday. A classic example is Gregr Mendel’s famus pea plant experiment. Withut this, we wuld nt have understd the 47 f ur genes, nr the reasns why ffspring may lk strikingly similar t their parents.
Additinally, the scientific methd highlights the imprtance f 48 , which is instrumental in the acquisitin f knwledge. In a typical science-based educatinal system, students are taught t bjectively analyze empirical data and derive scientific principles. Besides, a science-based educatin empwers us t 49 precnceived（预想的） cncepts instead f merely accepting “facts” at face value.
Despite its 50 , a science-based educatin des nt always enlighten us abut certain aspects f the wrld that can’t be ratinalized thrugh the scientific methd. Thugh it explains hw the wrld wrks, it is lacking as it des nt 51 much abut why things happen. Fr example, science can prvide a neurlgical explanatin n hw we perceive breathtaking scenery, but it can’t explain what cnstitutes beauty r why we are s innately drawn t it. Thus, t 52 , the Arts ffer us insightful perspectives n the rle f science and the wrld at large.
Mrever, science may have great emphasis n prgress that may cme at a great 53 t the wrld. A science-based educatin that fcuses slely n the latest scientific breakthrughs may well 54 the study f ethical cntrversies and significant histrical events. Fr instance, it remains t be seen whether clning is mrally acceptable.
In cnclusin, a science-based educatin cupled with adequate expsure t ethics, values and the humanities wuld 55 students with a deeper insight int the cmplex nature f the wrld.

（A）
The Underging Welfare Refrm
While still in its early stages, welfare refrm has already been judged a great success in many states -- at least in getting peple ff welfare. It’s estimated that mre than 2 millin peple have left the rlls since 1994.
In the past fur years, welfare rlls in Athens Cunty have been cut in half. But 70 percent f the peple wh left in the past tw years tk jbs that paid less than $6an hur. The result: The Athens Cunty pverty rate still remains at mre than 30 percent -- twice the natinal average. Fr advcates fr the pr, that’s an indicatin that much mre needs t be dne. “Mre peple are getting jbs, but it’s nt making their lives any better,” says Kathy Lairn, a plicy analyst at the Center n Budget and Plicy Pririties in Washingtn.
A center analysis f US Census data natinwide fund that last year, a greater percentage f single, female-headed husehlds were earning mney n their wn, but that average incme fr these husehlds actually went dwn.
But fr many, the fact that pr peple are able t supprt themselves almst as well withut gvernment aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victry.
“Welfare was a pisn. It was a txin that was pisning the family,” says Rbert Rectr, a welfare-refrm plicy analyst. “The refrm is changing the mral climate in lw-incme cmmunities. It’s beginning t rebuild the wrk ethic, which is much mre imprtant.”
Mr. Rectr and thers argued that nce “the habit f dependency is cracked,” then the cuntry can make ther plicy changes aimed at imprving living standards.
56. Why dn’t peple enjy their lives better when they get jbs? ______
A. Because they are used t relying n welfare t make livings.
B. Because the cst f living is higher than befre.
C. Because many families are nt satisfied with their incme.
D. Because their wages are very lw.
57. Frm the passage we knw that the recnstructin f ______ is the cre f the refrm.
A. gvernment aidsB. wrk ethicC· welfare fundsD. mral awareness
58. Frm the example f the Athens Cuntry, we knw great effrts shuld be made fr the pr t ______.
A. imprve their living standardsB. help them be emplyed
C. get them ff welfare.D. increase their wage
59. Frm the passage, it can be inferred that the authr ______.
A. is cmpletely certain abut the success f welfare refrm
B. thinks that welfare refrm has dne little gd fr the pr
C. cnsiders welfare refrm successful n the whle
D. insists welfare refrm has increased the gvernment’s burden

Mysterius. Brilliant. Pwerful. These wrds describe the Inca（印加）. Every year, visitrs rush t the Incan citadel（堡垒） f Machu Picchu （meaning “the ancient peak”）in search f the lst civilizatin.

（C）
“I’ve had my heart brken mre badly by friends, than I have by lvers,” says a friend. “Yet peple dismiss the end f a friendship s easily, as if it desn’t matter as much and isn’t as painful as the break-up f a relatinship.”
It was her use f the wrd “heartbrken” that hit me s hard. Tw f the mst harmful phrases in the English language are “I am s disappinted in yu” and “Yu brke my heart” Bth, in their wn way, are unbearable, emtinal daggers（匕首）that are nt easily remved.
Friends are the fundatin that supprt ur lives, the cmfrt f lng cntinuity, shared emtinal cnfidences, a shulder t weep n, a hand t hld, a safe and peaceful place during the breakdwn f a relatinship r marriage. When thse friendships end, ur hearts are brken. We will lse all thse assurances that we t ften take fr granted.
And t ften, we are even nt allwed t murn （哀悼） it. We all believe friendships fade like the mist as we g ur separate ways. We might feel a lingering affectin, r a faint sense f lss, but they leave n empty ces in ur lives. I nce talked t a wman wh murns the lss f her friends. Years later, the ce they had left was still harmful in its lneliness. “But when I try t talk abut it, peple think I’m being ridiculus. Yu can always make mre friends.”
It is nt true and, at heart, we all knw it. Friendships require histry, layer upn layer f intimacy （亲密） and memry. We might nt see friends fr mnths, r even years, but the mment we are back in cntact it’s as if time std still.
I lst a gd friend recently. I knw, it sunds s careless, but it was, truly, nbdy’s fault; simply a set f emtinal circumstances that meant we bth had t step away. It seemed s sensible, and still des, but what I hadn’t expected was the fierceness f the pain. The phne still rings with calls frm ther friends but within it there is a weird and unsettling silence because she is nt there. My heart is brken, even if I wuldn’t have thught f phrasing it in s dramatic, r perhaps bitter, a way. I knw the pain will fade eventually. We might, even, at sme time in the future be friends again, but nt in the same way. Smething has been brken and hwever skillful the mending, the cracks will still be faintly visible. It is a sharp reminder f hw much we shuld cherish ur friendships because it is all t easy t take them fr granted and frget hw much it means t us when they are lst.
63. Accrding t the authr, peple will feel heartbrken when friendships end because ______.
A. peple dismiss the end f a friendship t easilyB. “heartbrken” is ne f the mst harmful wrds
C. friendships are the basis f a relatinship r marriageD. friends’ supprts thught t be always there are lst

A. it is nrmal fr a friendship t end withut scars left
B. friendship usually leaves behind a faint sense f lss
C. we needn’t murn the lingering affectin frm lst friends
D. lng-term friendships can be harmful in its lneliness

A. The wman wanted t talk abut her lss f friends.
B. Peple thught the wman was being ridiculus.
C. That peple can always make mre friends is nt true.

Sectin C
Directins: Cmplete the fllwing passage by using the sentences in the bx. Each sentence can nly be used nce. Nte that there are tw sentences mre than yu need.
A big cause f cncerns fr Australian gvernment is the increasing number f migrants wh return t their cuntries f rigin. Several surveys have been cnducted recently int the reasns why peple g hme. One nted that “flies, dirt, and utside lavatries（厕所）” were n the list f cmplaints frm British immigrants, and added that many peple als cmplained abut “the crudity, bad manners, and unfriendliness f the Australians”. 67
Mst British migrants miss cuncil husing the Natinal Health scheme, and their relatives and frmer neighbr. 68 The men sn make new friends at wrk, but wives tend t find it much harder t get used t a different way f life. Many are husebund because f inadequate public transprt in mst utlying suburbs, and regular crrespndence （通信） with their ld friends at hme nly serves t increase their discntent （不满）. One husewife was quted recently as saying: “I even find I miss the peple I used t hate at hme.”
Rent are high, and there are lng waiting lists fr Husing Cmmissin hmes. Sickness can be an expensive business and the climate can be unexpectedly rugh. The gap between Australian and British wage packets is n lnger big, and peple are generally expected t wrk harder here than they d at hme. Prfessinal men ver frty ften have difficulty in finding a decent jb. 69
Accrding t the jurnal Australian Manufacturer, the attitude f many emplyers and fellw wrkers is anything but friendly. “We Australians,” it stated in a recent issue, “are just t fnd f painting the rsy picture f the big, warm-hearted Aussie （澳洲人）. 70 G dwn ‘heart-break alley’ amng sme f the migrants and find ut just hw expansive the Aussie is t his immigrants.”
Ⅳ. Summary Writing
71. Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Summarize the main idea and the main pint（s） f the passage in n mre than 60 wrds. Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
Reading Is Imprtant Fr Yur Brain
Yu can take fish il pill r g t a language class, puzzle bks, r a few hurs f exercise every week. There are cuntless methds t imprve yur memry and cgnitive （认知的） functining. But the cheapest and easiest way t sharpen yur brain is right in frnt f yur face. It’s called reading.
The mst basic impact ccurs in the area assciated with language receptin. Prcessing written material—frm the letters t the wrds t the sentences t the stries themselves—puts ur brain t wrk. That happens when we prcess spken language, t, but the very nature f reading encurages the brain t wrk harder and better. And the benefits f reading cntinue lng after yu’ve put dwn that great bk. A small study at Emry University fund that sme f thse benefits lasted fr five days. “We call that a shadw activity, almst like a muscle memry,” says Gregry Berns, PhD, directr f the Center fr Neur-plicy at Emry. In fact, this is hw reading in a certain fnt can imprve yur memry.
Hwever, nt all reading is created equal. Results frm a study cnducted at Stanfrd University indicate that clse literary reading in particular gives yur brain a majr wrkut. MRI scans f peple wh are deep int a Jane Austen nvel shwed an increase in bld flwing t areas f the brain that cntrl bth cgnitive and executive functin, as ppsed t the mre limited effects that cme frm mre leisurely reading.
The ability t read clsely is smething that needs t be cultivated. An authr ntes that even she, smene wh reads fr a living, has fund her ability t cncentrate n the written wrd fading as mre f what we read is n a screen. “Unfrtunately, this frm f reading is rarely cntinuus, sustained, r cncentrated,” she writes.
Of curse, there’s an easy slutin: Turn ff yur phne and yur cmputer, set aside a gd hur r tw—and just read.
