31、ve against all odds. “Love in the face of global adversity? It couldnt be more timely.” GlamourIt is the spring of 1939 and three generations of the Kurc family are doing their best to live normal lives, even as the shadow of war grows closer. The talk around the family Seder table is of new babies

32、and budding romance, not of the increasing hardships threatening Jews in their hometown of Radom, Poland. But soon the horrors overtaking Europe will become inescapable and the Kurcs will be flung to the far corners of the world, each desperately trying to navigate his or her own path to safety. As

33、one sibling is forced into exile（流亡）, another attempts to flee the continent, while others struggle to escape certain death, either by working grueling hours on empty stomachs in the factories of the ghetto or by hiding as gentiles in plain sight. Driven by an unwavering will to survive and by the f

34、ear that they may never see one another again, the Kurcs must rely on hope, ingenuity, and inner strength to persevere.

Five Australian backpackers boarded and struck up a conversation with me. They asked typical travelers questionswhere was I going and why was I traveling alone

37、? My plan was to travel with a friend of a friend, I explained, but when I called her that morning, she didnt pick up and I had no other way to reach her. My stomach was in knots, but I decided to head out anyway, thinking I might run into her if I traveled to Tiberius, where we had planned to go to

38、gether.“Why dont you travel with us?” one of the backpackers offered. They were experienced adventurers who would work for a few months, save, then travel for as long as they could. Their current plan was to explore the Middle East and Europe in three months while working in London.It seemed risky t

39、o travel with strangers, but my instinct said yes. For the next two weeks, I explored Israel with the backpackers and learned to trust my instincts in all types of new and interesting situations. When they hook a ride, I took the bus, but when they wanted to steal into the King David Hotels swimming

40、 pool, I led the way. The world opened up to me because I chose to travel alone. I joined complete strangers, who become close friends. Years later, one couple from the backpacking group even flew from Sydney to Phoenix to be in my wedding. The trip was such a special experience that it gave me conf

41、idence in all areas of my life. Since then, Ive backpacked alone across South Africa, sky-dived from 12,000 feet in New Zealand and even moved across the U.S. with no job lined up.On my third day wandering in Israel with my new friends, I bumped into the woman I was supposed to meet.

45、n a mission aiming to answer fundamental questions about the impact of climate change in the polar regions. The scientists, led by he British Antarctic Survey( BAS), are trying to reach a newly revealed ecosystem that had been hidden for 120,000 years below the Larsen C ice shelf.Last year, part of

46、the Larsen C ice shelf calved (崩解) away, forming a huge iceberg-A68-which is four times bigger than London, and revealing life beneath for the first time. Now scientists say it is a race against time to explore these new ecosystems before they are transformed to the light. Marine biologist Dr Katrin

47、 Linse from the BAS is leading the mission.“The calving of A68 provides us with a unique opportunity to study marine life as it responds to a huge environment change,” she said. “It is important that we get there quickly before the undersea environment changes as sunlight enters the water.”Professor

48、 David Vaughan, science director at the BAS, said, “We need to be bold (大胆的) on this one. Larsen C is a long way south and theres lots of sea ice in the area, but this is important science, so we will try our best to get the team where they need to be. He said climate change had already affected the

49、 sea around Antarctica and is warming some coastal waters. “Future warming may make some habitats warm. Where these habitats support unique species that are adapted to love the cold and not the warm, those species are going to either move or die.”There is growing concern about the possible impact of

50、 climate change in the Antarctic. Earlier this month, a report revealed that melting ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica are speeding up the already fast pace of the sea level rise. The research, published by the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine, said, “At the current rate,

51、 the worlds ocean will be, on average, at least 60cm higher by the end of the century.” However, it found that the process is accelerating, and more than three quarters of the acceleration since 1993 is due to melting ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica, the study shows.61. Why are the scientists

52、 eager to go to the iceberg?A. To study how the iceberg was formed.B. To study a newly discovered ecosystem.C. To explore a new way to prevent climate change.D. To explore the geography of the Larsen C ice shelf.62. What do the underlined words “this one” in the fourth paragraph refer to?A. The Lars

53、en C ice shelf.B. Climate change in Antarctica.C. The A68 iceberg with the ecosystem beneath it.D. The condition of animal species in Antarctica.63. What can we learn about the A68 iceberg from the text?A. It is as big as London.B. It has uncovered an unknown ecosystem in Antarctica. C. It will disa

54、ppear in a very short time.D. It is part of an ice shelf in the Arctic.64. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. There is no need to worry about climate change in Antarctica.B. The ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica are melting at a steady rate.C. Many creatures living in deep water will

55、die out due to climate change.D. By 2100, the sea level will have risen to a much higher level than now.DPartway through Wonder, Fifth-grader Auggie Pullman finds himself seated across from a new friend in the school cafeteria. “Have you ever thought about having plastic surgery?” the friend asks.“D

56、ude, this is after plastic surgery. It takes a lot of work to look this good,” Auggie says, running a hand through his hair. In other words, what could be painfully depressing turns out to hold lurking(潜藏的) reserves of humour, which is pretty much the story of Wonder.Auggie, played by Jacob Tremblay

57、, was born with a facial difference, and even after multiple operations, his looks shock his classmates. As he adapts from homeschooling to a new school community, he encounters far worse than that lunchtime sceneone nasty bully(横行霸道者) says hed kill himself if he looked like Auggiebut he never fully

58、 loses heart.The movie is an adaptation of the 2012 novel by R.J.Palacio, which has sold 6 million copies in North America and launched an antibullying campaign, Choose Kind. Palacio has said she got the idea for the story when her young son began crying at the sight of a girl with a facial differen

59、ce in an ice cream shop. She took her kids out of the shop, but later regretted her reaction. “What I should have done is simply turned to the little girl and started up a conversation and shown my kids that there was nothing to be afraid of,” she said.Tremblay, 11, who broke out opposite Brie Larso

60、n in the 2015 drama Room, has more than a few things in common with Auggie. “We both love Star Wars, we have awesome families, and we love our dogs.” But Tremblay thinks we all can find something in common with the boy. “Everyones like Auggie in one very important way: we want to be accepted and tre

61、ated equally and with kindness.”Julia Roberts, who plays Auggies mother, became interested in the part because of her own children, “I read it with my kids and fell so in love with it,” she says of the novel. “This book is such a beautiful and gentle introduction into all kinds of topics, including

62、bullying and intolerance and fear, and what fear makes young people do sometimes.”Both actors have some familiarity with the subject. “I was picked on quite a bit as a young person,” Roberts says, though she wont say what for. “Even as a 50-year-old mother of three, its not a path I like to go up an

63、d down.” Tremblay reveals a bit more. “I have been picked on,” he says, “because Im kind of short for me age. I told my parents, and thats one of the best things you can do, because my mom said would never want me to carry negative thoughts on my shoulders alone.”The most challenging parts of filmin

64、g, says Tremblay, were moments in which he had to cry. Tenderhearted audience members will likely shed tears of their ownespecially during scenes between Auggie and his mom, who repeatedly reassures her son that he is worthy of love. But the movie also has its fair share of hijinks(喧闹): for every te

65、ar-filled moment, there is a lightsaber battle or silly science project to lighten the mood. This mixture of pity and humor, says Roberts, “was intrinsic(固有的) in the writing in the novel.” But she credits writer-director Stephen Chbosky with translating that balance into visual terms.As much as the

66、movie impresses the viewer with compassion for the underdogs, it also finds a way to sympathize with the bullies. “I would say to try to take a moment to be conscious of why a person that is bullying somebody is behaving that way,” says Roberts, “After all”, she adds, “Theres no child thats born bul

67、ly.”65. How did Auggie respond to his friends question?A. He felt so embarrassed that he kept reserved.B. He flew off the handle the moment he heard it.C. He answered in a calm but humourous way.D. He spent quite a while finding the right words.66. What inspired the story of Wonder?A. A campaign aga

68、inst bullying in North America.B. The way Palacio treated a girl with a facial difference.C. Palacios conversation with a girl in an ice cream shop.D. Palacios kids being picked on by their classmates.67. According to the passage, the theme of the movie Wonder is _.A. similar to that of the drama Ro

69、om B. focused on the safety of plastic surgeryC. diverse and closely relevant to personal growthD. a reflection of minority groups fate in America68. What does paragraph 7 mainly talk about?A. How Julia Roberts got to know Jacob Tremblay.B. What influence Jacob Tremblays mother has on his growth.C.

Even though the exact relationship behind facial expression and mental state is largely unknown, it has

Increased levels of cortisol could potentially lead to cardiovascular disease, mental illness, and obesity, so its worth every effort to try to decrease our cortisol levels.Research shows that when you smile, people

88、order to have access to the fresh grass of different sides.As a matter of fact, the fable mirrors that different attitudes may bring about different results. As an old saying goes, union means power. A chopstick breaks easily, while a bunch of them does not. Cooperation is therefore the best policy

89、in any case because it can lead to a win-win situation, where both sides can gain benefit by virtue of joint efforts.In my daily life, I often cooperate with my classmates when playing basketball, taking part in running races or going in for community-service activities. I learn a lot from my classmates and friends by following their advice. Meanwhile, I also do my part to help them in return. It is teamwork that helps us secure numerous victories.
