27、a party goer38. In which section of a website will you find this passage?A. Lifestyle.B. Nature.C. Transport.D. Recreation.BWhen she was ten years old, Isadora Duncan dropped out of school to teach people dance. If that job was left to any other ten-year-old, it would have turned out frustrating, di

28、fficult, and a little discouraging.But Duncan was different. Not only was she already talented enough to earn money even at that age, but she also had a rare kind of confidence that helped her treat troubles as fuel something to strengthen the fire that is already burning inside of her.Its no surpri

29、se, then, that when she moved to New York to join a theatre company, she found herself limited. The existing dancing style, their way of operatingall of this seemed to her the work of a misguided past. Duncan was very direct about what she wanted, confidently telling people she had a different visio

30、n of dance that she was going to spread in the world. This, naturally, led to laughs early on, but as she built up her work, these instances became less frequent. Today, she is remembered as “The Mother of Dance”, with much of the modern art owing its expressive style to her influence. Inspired by t

31、he ancient Greeks, she brought the style to life.In her autobiography (自传), one of the things Duncan frequently regards as the basis of her expressive spirit is the fact that she had a childhood where she wasnt constantly watched. The expectations of her mother were open-ended. It was the freedom of

32、 this lifestyle that drove her to see what she could do.Growing up, before she left school, she was told one of two things: that she was either completely useless or that she was a genius. There was nothing in between. Even when she started working, people either bowed to her or they basically ignor

33、ed her. But Duncan never doubted her own genius.There is an old quotation “if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” And it captures an important truth. At school, Isadora Duncan was a failure. In the dance hall, she gave form to br

34、illiance.39. What does the underlined phrase “treat troubles as fuel” mean? A. Duncan used troubles to push her forward towards her dream.B. Duncan was good at burning away everyday troubles.C. Troubles turned Duncan into a confident girl.D. Troubles lit the fire of dancing in Duncan.40. Which of th

35、e following is TRUE about Duncan? A. Her experience in New York was the foundation of her career.B. Her teaching job when she was little ruined her confidence.C. Her dancing style was not very well received at the beginning.D. Her mother set higher expectation on her than she could bear.41. What doe

36、s the author try to tell the readers in the last paragraph?A. It is useless climbing a tree to catch fish.B. Everybody is a genius in his own way.C. Sadness come from human stupidity.D. Teachers can affect students greatly.42. What is this passage mainly about?A. Isadora Duncans childhood and her ac

37、hievements today.B. Duncans career development and other dancers opinions of her.C. Isadora Duncans early experiences and the reasons for her success. D. Duncans high status in the dancing world and her unique expressive style.CMore than 90 per cent of global trade today is carried out via ships abo

38、ut 53000 merchant ships trading internationally. That number seems to increase quickly. A 2019 study, led by researchers at McGill University in Canada, has predicted an increase in ocean traffic of anything between 240 and 1209 per cent by 2050. In preparation for this increase, scientists and engi

39、neers around the world are dealing with the difficult question of how to navigate (航行) more safely.On the west coast of the US, one such group has a single priority whales. The region is home to not only busy international ports but also the rich feeding grounds of blue, humpback and fin whales. As

40、a result of crossovers, ship strikes are thought to be one of the leading causes of death for whale populations.Dr Briana Abrahms, a research ecologist at NOAA Fisheries Southwest Fisheries Science Center, is developing an app that will allow managers and ship crews to be alarmed to the possible loc

41、ation of blue whales. It is based on the groups new model which predicts whale movements based on oceanographic conditions. “Ocean conditions can change on a daily basis,” Abrahms explains. “We know what conditions the whales like, so every single day we can look at where those conditions are and pr

42、edict where the whales will go.”Of course, knowing where the whales are is hardly relevant if captains ignore the information. Abrahms admits that voluntary slow-down plans for large ships on the east coast of the US (slower ships being less likely to kill whales) have seen low levels of obedience (

43、遵守). Her hope is that more accurate data will encourage owners and managers to respond. “Part of the reason we think for the low obedience is that there isnt much confidence among the shipping industry. If you say slow down between July and November, the shipping industry doesnt believe that there i

44、s actually a whale there. By making it more accurate in predicting whales, were hoping our app will help,” Abrahms said.43. Why does the author mention the 2019 study in Paragraph 1? A. To tell the importance of shipping industry. B. To show the fast increase in global trade. C. To predict ocean tra

45、ffic in the following years. D. To explain the necessity of ensuring sailing safety.44. Whats the app designed for? A. Calculating the number of whales. B. Telling possible locations of whales. C. Predicting the consequence of ship strikes. D. Forecasting the oceanographic condition.45. Whats Abrahm

46、s attitude towards the present slow-down plans? A. DisapprovingB. OptimisticC. ConcernedD. Unclear46. What is the text mainly about? A. Ways to avoid crossovers between ships and whales. B. Methods of predicting severe weather. C. Importance of rescuing wildlife in the sea. D. Challenges of keeping

47、a correct voyage.DThe Intelligent Transportteam at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobilelaboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced byolder drivers and to discover where the key stress points are. Research shows that giving up driving is oneof the

48、 key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people,leading to them becoming more isolated (隔绝) and inactive. Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastleteam are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hopecould help them to continue driving into later life. T

49、hese include custom-made navigation (导航)tools, night vision systemsand intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: “For many olderpeople, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is importantfor keeping their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and aboutwithou

50、t having to rely on others.” “But we all have to accept that as we getolder our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding anypotentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in theirdriving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really needto.”

51、Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the olderdriver study, explains, “The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key pointsand difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to addressthese problems. “For example, most of us would expectolder drivers always go slower tha

52、n everyone else but surprisingly, we found thatin 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likelyto break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. Were looking at the benefitsof systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that. “We hopethat our wor

Celebrating 10 species in detail, he describes the unbelievable recovery of seabirds and the adaptation that has enabled them to survive and navigate the oceans.Speaking from his home in Sussex, En

57、gland, Nicolson explains how guillemot (海雀) colonies become information exchange centers; how new research is showing that those long-distance travelers “smell” their way across the globe; and what we can do to support seabird populations.National Geographic has just kicked off Year of the Bird with

58、 a cover story by Jonathan Franzen titled “Why Birds Matter”. Such a beginning of Year of the Bird is beneficial to birds. Nicolson said, “Ill ask you the same question why? For me, these seabirds are symbols of uniqueness. There is so much on the land where the rest of the living world seems to be

59、controlled by us, but when you go to seabird colonies, there is pumping, loud, and raging uniqueness. Its a glance of the untouched world.”“The reason why its untouched is that, until recently, we have not controlled the oceans that the seabirds depend on. More of them have survived in great numbers

60、 than most other creatures in the developed world, where huge amounts of the animal kingdom have been removed by us. So one reason these birds matter is that they are symbols of what the world might be like if we hadnt done so much damage to it.”“Seabirds also tend to disappear due to their migratio
