The Next Great Migration

By Sonia Shah

Many migrations (移居) are taking place worldwide in response to environmental change, sometimes causing fear for governments and residents alike. But science shows that humans, as well as other species, have always been travelling. Science journalist Shah offers an exploration of why migration has historically been viewed as dangerous, harmful and even unnatural, and how more recent data reveals movement as a natural part of life.

The End of Everything

By Katie Mack

Explaining the end of the world might seem unpleasant or frightening, but physicist Mack does it first. She creates an easy-to-understand guide to how the universe might end, speaking in a casual way that feels like sitting down for coffee with a good friend.

Growing Young

By Marta Zaraska

Traditionally we believe a “healthy” person might be someone who eats a lot of vegetables and spends all their free time in the gym. But science journalist Zaraska argues that there are much more important factors that play a part in living longer. She explains how friendship, optimism and kindness can lengthen lives — and how loneliness can make them shorter.

With climate change already making waves in Florida, Miami journalist Ariza set out to share stories from the people experiencing it.

22、   She was known to millions as the "Queen of Crime” or the "Duchess (女公爵)of Death". But surprisingly, she hated violence and blood, and knew nothing about the weapons most often used in murder. “ I don't think I dare look at a really horrible and damaged body, ” Agatha Christie once said.

But her pen dared to travel where her eyes would not. In her 50-year writing profession, Christie's murder stories made her the world's best-known mystery (神秘)writer. Only the Bible and Shakespeare's works have sold more copies than her.

Her novels have been turned into films and TV scenes. This month, British TV announced they will remake eight Christie films. Her work has continuing appeal for viewers," said director Laura Mackie. " There is always a desire for a really good detective novel. ”

Born in 1890 in England, Christie was educated at home and began her writing career while working as a nurse during World War I. She went on to produce 79 novels and lots of short stories, dying at the age of 86. With her knowledge of murder, Christie could have been a teacher at police academies.

Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, introduced Hercule Poirot, a retired Belgian police officer who starred in 30 of her works. Among the most popular are Murder on the Orient Express(1934) and Death on the Nile ( 1937).

Poirot is a tidy little man with a funny-looking moustache, an egg-shaped head and a high opinion of himself. He draws conclusions from observing the behaviour of those around him, always managing to spot patterns that others cannot see. Poirot has become so famous that someone has even written his biography, The Life and Times of Hercule Poirot.

23、Deng Qingming, a Chinese astronaut and native of Jiangxi province in East China, aged 55, has never been to space. He was a member of the backup crew (后备人员) for the Shenzhou-9, Shenzhou-10 and Shenzhou-11 missions.

Of China's first group of 14 trainees for the space program, he was among the six who never made it onto the crew. Five of his colleagues retired in 2014 without a space flight, making Deng the last man standing, with feet firmly on ground. "Being backup doesn't mean you don't need to work. I must watch closely in the control center and offer all I know about the mission and the spacecraft in case of emergency. Only when the crew returns to Earth will my mission be complete." Deng said during an interview. No matter how difficult the road to space flight is, he never once thought of giving up. At the end of every mission, he would quickly clear his mind of distractions and welcome new challenges with a positive attitude.

In 20l3, Deng discovered a tiny kidney(肾)stone. While this is not a condition of immediate concern under normal circumstances, it is different for astronauts, who must maintain a rigorous standard of personal health. Deng underwent two surgeries, the first unsuccessful. After suffering from the disease for almost 2 months with a tube placed inside his kidney, the stone was finally removed.

When training for Shenzhou XI, scheduled to be launched in 2016, Deng along with crew member Chen Dong was limited in a spacecraft simulator no bigger than 10 square meters for 33 days. They had no showers, ate space food exclusively and bore loud noise and strong light as they tried to sleep. On the day of the announcement, however, he was not selected.

"The success of the mission comes before my personal wishes," said Deng. His passion has inspired his daughter Deng Manqi, who now works for ground control in Beijing.

【1】Which of the following best describe Deng?

A．Talented and modest.

B．Generous and friendly.

C．Creative and ambitious.

D．Determined and devoted.

【2】What does the underlined word "rigorous" mean in Paragraph 3?

A．Low.

B．Strict.

C．Different.

D．Particular.

【3】What can be inferred from the text?

A．Deng is the last backup in China.

B．Deng's personal wishes come first.

C．Deng will retire due to health problem.

D．Deng plays an important role in space flight.

【4】What's the best title for the text?

A．The Mission For The Crew

B．Life Of A Chinese Backup

C．A Chinese Astronaut Always Ready

D．The Responsibility Of Astronauts

24、It’s a popular belief that a fish’s memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been, and they don’t recognize you or any of their friends --- every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.

But don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago.

In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again.

Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.

In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past “fights”. But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.

Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild.

“If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risks,” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.

For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.

【1】According to the article, people used to believe that _______.

A. fish could only remember part of their past experiences

B. fish could remember things that happened 12 days ago

C. a fish’s memory lasted for only seven minutes

D. fish didn’t recognize any of their friends

【2】How can fish benefit most from a good memory? They can remember _______.

A. where to get food and survive

B. their enemies and fight

C. where to escape to when in danger

D. their friends and help each other

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Fish behave aggressively in a fight.

B. Fish can remember more.

C. Fish don’t belong to the list of smart animals.

D. Only African cichlids have a good memory.
