Perhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin. Until four years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi province. He only wrote science fiction in his spare time. But it was during this time that Liu’s imagination took flight. He did what he might never have the chance to do in real life – wander in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets light-years away.
But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn’t expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction’s highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It’s the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award.
In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur C. Clarke (1917-2008), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that reading Clarke’s 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him.
“My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea,” Liu said. “That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (使……敬畏) by the mystery of the universe.”
But no matter how far away Liu’s imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational.
In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations, rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. Liu’s works aren’t simply daydreams.
4. What do we know about Liu Cixin
A. He became a full-time writer when he was young.
B. He dreamed about wandering in space from childhood.
C. He is the first Asian to win the Arthur C. Clarke Award.
D. He is the first Chinese winner of the Hugo Award.
5. Liu Cixin’s words are used mainly to show ________.
A. his interest in mysteries of the universe B. his love of reading science fiction
C. his confusion when he started writing D. his feeling after reading Clarke’s work
6. What’s the text mainly about
A. Liu Cixin’s achievements and writing style. B. Liu Cixin’s contributions to science fiction.
C. How Liu Cixin became a sci-fi writer. D. How Liu Cixin started a new sci-fi style.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了刘慈欣是亚洲第一个获得雨果奖的人，并详细介绍了刘慈欣的贡献和写作风格。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn’t expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction’s highest prize, in 2015.(但即使有如此强大的想象力，55岁的刘慈欣可能也没有想到，他会在2015年成为首位获得科幻小说最高奖项雨果奖的亚洲人。)”可知，他是第一位获得雨果奖的中国人。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“He said that reading Clarke’s 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him.( 他说，上世纪80年代初读了克拉克1968年的经典小说《2001太空漫游》，对他产生了很大的影响。)”可知，刘慈欣的文字主要是用来表达他读了克拉克的作品后的感受。故选D。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Perhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin.( 也许没有人比中国作家刘慈欣更了解想象力的力量.)”和文章第二段“But ...become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction’s highest prize, in 2015. ... nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It’s the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award.(但即使有如此强大的想象力，55岁的刘可能也没有想到，他会在2015年成为首位获得科幻小说最高奖项雨果奖的亚洲人。或许他也没想到美国前总统巴拉克·奥巴马会读到他的小说《三体》，也没想到11月9日在华盛顿特区，他获得了2018年阿瑟·C·克拉克想象力服务社会奖。这是中国作家第一次获得该奖项。)”和文章倒数第二段“But no matter how far away Liu’s imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational.(但无论刘慈欣的想象力把他带得多远，他的小说总能保持理性。)可知，文章主要讲述了刘慈欣的成就与写作风格。故选A。
C
Not even the sea is safe from the glare (强光) of humans’ light at night. Researchers published the first global map of ocean light pollution. It shows large parts of the sea are lit up at night. And that risks confusing or disrupting the behaviors of sea life.
Tim Smyth led a team to research where in the water this light is strongest. Smyth and his colleagues started with a world map of man-made night-sky brightness that had been created in 2016. Then they added data on the ocean and atmosphere. Some data came from shipboard measurements of man-made light in the water. Others came from satellite images that judge how clear the water is. Particles (微粒) in the water, such as tiny floating plants and animals, can affect how far downward light travels. These factors vary from place to place and may change with the seasons. The team also used computers to copy how different wavelengths of light move through water.
Next they wanted to know how that underwater light might affect animals. Not all species will be easily affected. The team focused on copepods (桡足亚纲甲壳动物). These common creatures are a key part of many ocean food webs. They use light as a signal to move all together to the dark deep, seeking safety from other surface creatures. Normally they use the sun or the winter moon as their signal. Too much man-made light can mess up their usual patterns.
Light pollution is strongest in about three feet of the water. Here, man-made light can be strong enough to confuse the copepods. Nearly 2 million square kilometers of ocean get such strong night light. That’s an area about the size of Mexico. Farther down, the light gets weaker. But even 65 feet deep, it’s still bright enough to bother copepods across 840,000 square kilometers of ocean.
The team described its findings December 13 in Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene.
7. What do we know about copepods from the passage
A. They are main eaters of other creatures.
B. They are not affected by underwater light.
C. They can escape attacks with the help of light.
D. They can weaken the effect of man-made light.
8. How does the author show the seriousness of light pollution in Paragraph 4
A. By stating opinions. B. By listing numbers.
C. By raising questions. D. By giving reasons.
9. Which of the following can is a suitable title for the text
A. Light Pollution from Sea Life B. Living Conditions of Copepods
C. Discoveries of Copepods D. Light Pollution Even in Sea
【答案】7. C 8. B 9. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是海洋中也有光污染以及光污染对海洋生物的影响。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“They use light as a signal to move all together to the dark deep, seeking safety from other surface creatures. (它们用光作为信号，一起移动到黑暗的深处，寻求远离其他表面生物的安全地方。)”可知，桡足亚纲甲壳动物可以在光的帮助下躲避攻击。故选C。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Nearly 2 million square kilometers of ocean get such strong night light. That’s an area about the size of Mexico. Farther down, the light gets weaker. But even 65 feet deep, it’s still bright enough to bother copepods across 840,000 square kilometers of ocean. (近200万平方公里的海洋得到了这样强烈的夜间灯光。这是一个和墨西哥差不多大的区域。越往下，光线就越弱。但即使是65英尺深，也足以让84万平方公里的海洋里的桡足类动物感到烦恼。)”可知，作者在第4段通过列出数字来展示光污染的严重性，故选B。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Not even the sea is safe from the glare (强光) of humans’ light at night. Researchers published the first global maps of ocean light pollution. It shows large parts of the sea lit up at night. And that risks confusing or disrupting the behaviors of sea life. (研究人员发布了第一份海洋光污染的全球地图，就连海洋在夜间也不能免受人类强光的照射。它显示了大片海域在夜间被点亮。这可能会混淆或扰乱海洋生物的行为。)”可知，本文主要讲的是光污染对海洋生物的影响，因此D选项“Light Pollution Even in Sea (海洋中的光污染)”可作为最恰当的题目，故选D。
D
Imagine this: you walk into work and the camera above the doors scans your face, opening them automatically without you lifting a finger. Oh, but you need to run to the chemist's at lunch. You walk up to a camera, and your prescription（药方）is deposited in front of you. After work, you look at your face in the mirror, and it reminds you to wear sun-cream the next day. Sounds pretty good, right
Now imagine this: when you are walking down the street, a pair of policemen pull their guns and tell you to drop to the ground. After several days in jail, they let you know you were misidentified as a violent criminal on the loose. Regardless of your innocence, you're in the system. Now wherever you go, cameras that capture you will alert police to watch out for you. Even worse, as you enter stores, the facial recognition system lets the staff know a recently arrested individual has entered the building. Doesn't sound so good
As fantastical as either of those pictures might seem, it's quite possible that this will be the future we're headed towards. The "benefits" of the technology are already being implemented by airlines, as seen by JetBlue Airways. Rather than scanning a boarding pass or handing over a passport, you simply stare into a camera and you're identified. This does save time and make processes the best possible, but it raises the question: do you have the right to your own face Who is responsible for the protection of this information Can I even remove my face from this database and just go the old-fashioned way
We humans have the never-ending need to make things smoother, better and faster. This desire has helped drive the remarkable progress we have achieved as a society. However, it's time to take a step back and ask some necessary questions. We need to discuss whether we actually need the extensive use of facial recognition technology and how to ensure law enforcement (执行) doesn't abuse this technology. If we act now, I believe we can succeed in preventing technology companies from infiltrating（潜入）every aspect of our lives. If we don't, though, I fear the worst.
10. What does the underlined word "fantastical" probably mean
A. Unreal. B. Optimistic. C. Reasonable. D. Unbearable.
11. What is the downside of facial recognition technology
A. Inequality of rights. B. Disorder of society.
C. Violation of privacy. D. Denial of responsibility.
12. What may be to blame for the negative effect of facial recognition technology
A. Improper enforcement of laws. B. People's lack of awareness.
C. Ignorance of the technology. D. Companies' pursuit of profit.
13. What is the best title for the text
A. How do we live safely with facial recognition technology
B. Are we prepared for the use of facial recognition technology
C. What will the future be like without facial recognition technology
D. Can we prevent the development of facial recognition technology
【答案】10. A 11. C 12. A 13. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了我们是否真的需要广泛使用面部识别技术这一问题。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。由第三段中的“it's quite possible that this will be the future we're headed towards”（很有可能这就是我们要走向的未来），可知这两张照片中的场景是未来可能的场景，现在是不存在的，所以它们看起来不真实，fantastical在此处意为“Unreal（不真实的）”。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段中的“This does save time and make processes the best possible, but it raises the question: do you have the right to your own face Who is responsible for the protection of this information Can I even remove my face from this database and just go the old-fashioned way ”（这确实节省了时间，并使过程尽可能地最佳化，但它提出了一个问题：你有权面对自己的脸吗？谁负责保护这些信息？我甚至可以从这个数据库中删除这张脸，然后按老方法来吗？），可知面部识别技术让人质疑人们自己是否有权看自己的脸、谁负责保护这些人脸信息，自己能否删除数据库中的人脸，得出面部识别技术可能会侵犯隐私，让人们对自己的脸没有自主权。故选C项。
12题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段中的“We need to discuss whether we actually need the extensive use of facial recognition technology and how to ensure law enforcement (执行) doesn't abuse this technology.”（我们需要讨论我们是否真的需要广泛使用面部识别技术，以及如何确保执法部门不会滥用这项技术。），可知面部识别技术侵犯隐私的缺点是因为执法部门可能会滥用这项技术。故选A项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。第一二段讲“面部识别技术运用在未来生活中可能的场景”，第三段讲“面部识别技术侵犯隐私的缺点”，第四段讲“是否真的需要广泛使用面部识别技术”，可知本文主要讲我们是否真的需要广泛使用面部识别技术，B项“我们准备好使用面部识别技术了吗？”为短文的最佳标题。故选B项。

Most students do an IQ test early in their school career. Even if they never see their results, they feel that their IQ is what determines how well they are going to do in life. When they see other students doing better than them, they usually believe that those students have a higher IQ and that there is nothing they can do to change facts. However, new research into EQ suggests that success is not simply the result of a high IQ.
While your IQ tells you how intelligent you are, your EQ tells you how well you use your intelligence. Professor Salovey suggests that when predicting someone’s future success, their EQ might actually matter more than their IQ. For example, have you ever wondered why some of the smartest students in your class, who you think deserve good grades, sometimes end up failing exams Perhaps their failure is because of their low EQ.
It is generally believed that people with high EQs are open to new ideas and have positive attitudes towards life. They are also less likely to be troubled by problems. On the other hand, there is little doubt that people with low EQs often have problems getting on with other people and dealing with difficult situations; thus they have a harder time surviving in life.
The good news is that most social scientists agree that EQ has a lot to do with education. Compared with IQ that seems to be fixed the moment you were born, EQ could be improved with right approaches. Some are trying to study the possibility of improving a person’s EQ, especially when it comes to“people’s skills”, such as understanding and communication.
To get ahead in the world and lead a happy successful life means getting on with other people and being able to understand and react to situations in the best way. This requires a high EQ—the higher the better.
14. Most students think others’ better performance in studies is due to_____.
A high IQ B. teachers’ assistance
C. good luck D. hard work
15. What can we infer from paragraph 2
A. Only EQ determines someone’s future success.
B. EQ plays a more important role in one’s future success.
C. Some smartest students fail exams because of their low IQ.
D. The most intelligent students deserve good grades.
16. What will people with a high EQ tend to do
A. Refuse new ideas. B. Be troubled by problems.
C. Have a negative attitude. D. Get along well with others.
17. What contributes to a higher EQ according to most social scientists
A. Education. B. Parents.
C. Friends. D. Environment.
【答案】14. A 15. B 16. D 17. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。主要论述情商比智商更重要，智商只表明一个是多么聪明，而情商则是决定一个人未来成功与否的关键。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“When they see other students doing better than them, they usually believe that those students have a higher IQ and that there is nothing they can do to change facts.(当他们看到其他学生比他们做得更好时，他们通常会认为这些学生有更高的智商，而且他们无法改变事实。)”可知，大多数学生认为别人在学习中的表现更好是因为高智商。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“Professor Salovey suggests that when predicting someone’s future success, their EQ might actually matter more than their IQ.(萨洛维教授认为，当预测某人未来的成功时，他们的情商实际上可能比他们的智商更重要。)”以及下文“Perhaps their failure is because of their low EQ.(也许他们的失败是因为他们的低情商。)”可推断，情商在一个人未来的成功中扮演着更重要的角色，故选B。
【16题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“On the other hand, there is little doubt that people with low EQs often have problems getting on with other people and dealing with difficult situations; thus they have a harder time surviving in life.( 另一方面，毫无疑问，具有低情商的人经常难以与他人相处和处理困难的情况；因此，他们在生活中更难生存)”可推断，高情商的人会与他人友好相处。故选D。
【17题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“The good news is that most social scientists agree that EQ has a lot to do with education. Compared with IQ that seems to be fixed the moment you were born, EQ could be improved with right approaches.(好消息是，大多数社会科学家都一致认为，情商与教育有很大关系。与你一出生就能固定下来的智商相比，情商可以通过正确的方法得到提高。)”可知，大多数社会科学家认为教育有助于提高情商。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍中国传统节日之一——清明节。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意：清明节是中国八个最重要的传统节日之一。实际的一天通常发生在公历的4月5日左右，但节日持续时间更长。由后文“Traditionally, 10 days before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day can be counted as the festival.”可知，传统清明节比现在更长，故空处应用所给词的比较级作状语。故填longer。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意：据说这个节日起源于古代皇帝、将军和大臣的葬礼。originate from表“起源于”，为固定短语搭配，符合语境。故填from。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：在这些葬礼上举行的仪式后来在普通人中流行起来。分析可知，此句中谓语为became，所以perform在本句中应作非谓语，且The rituals和perform为逻辑被动关系应填过去，分词作定语，修饰前面主语。故填performed。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：随着时间的推移，祭祖扫墓的传统代代相传，并演变成中华民族广泛遵守的习俗。custom 为可数名词，此处表泛指，应用不定冠词，custom的发音为辅音音素开头，此空应填不定冠词a。故填a。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：尽管这个节日没有官方身份，但海外华人社区非常重视这个节日，并忠实地遵守它的传统。根据句型分析和句意可知，Despite为介词，所以have应变成动名词结构形式，与the festival为动名词的主语构成动名词的复合结构，作despite的宾语。故填having。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：清明节也被称为清明节，那时春天在空气中，随着降雨量的增加，地球看起来更清晰、更明亮，自然界的一切都在挥手告别冬天的不愉快记忆。根据句型分析和句意可知，此句考查非限制性定语从句，先行词为the Qingming Festival, ，在从句中作时间状语，应用关系副词when引导。故填when。
【44题详解】
考查被动和时态。句意：这被认为是从阴向阳的转变。根据句型分析和句意可知，consider应充当本句的谓语，主语This 与consider为被动关系，结合语境，时态应用一般现在时。故填is considered。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：在这个美丽的季节，鲜花在温暖中绽放，一切都充满活力。根据句型分析和句意可知，冠词the后应加名词，warmth“温暖”抽象名词，不可数。故填warmth。
【46题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：春游的传统可以追溯到唐代。根据句型分析和句意可知，date在本句中充当谓语，与主语The tradition为主动关系，陈述客观事实用一般现在时。故填dates。
【47题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：除了欣赏壮丽的自然风光外，郊游还包括其他活动，这些活动有助于发挥节日的最佳效果。根据句型分析和句意可知，other表“其它的”时，后面应加复数。故填activities。

49. “The profit ________ be divided into three parts, according to the agreement made by both sides,” declared the judge. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】shall
【解析】
【详解】考查情态动词。句意：法官宣布：“根据双方达成的协议，利润应分成三部分。”由空后的原形be可知，空格处用情态动词，由“according to the agreement made by both sides,” declared the judge”可知，句子表示“法官宣布：“根据双方达成的协议，利润应分成三部分”，此处表示“命令”，用shall，故填shall。
50. ________ you get more than you wish for every year. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】May
【解析】
【详解】考查情态动词和部分倒装。句意：祝年年有余。根据句意可知，表示“祝，愿”应用may，应用部分倒装，句首单词首字母需大写。故填May。
51. In those days, whenever I had trouble, I ________ (turn) to Mr. Smith for help.(所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】would turn
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意：在那些日子里，每当我遇到麻烦，我都会向史密斯先生求助。根据In those days, whenever I had trouble可知，时间状语从句为过去时；再结合句意“我将找史密斯先生求助”可知，主句应为过去将来时，故填would turn。
52. The man we secretly followed suddenly stopped and looked back over his shoulder as if ________ (see) whether he was being tracked or not. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to see
【解析】
【详解】考查动词不定式。句意：我们偷偷跟踪的那个人突然停了下来，回头看了看，好像要看看他是否被跟踪了。分析句子可知，as if 引导的表语从句，可以使用虚拟语气，空处应用to see，as if to see是as if he were going to see的省略说法。故填to see。
53. The experiment shows that proper amount of exercise, if ________ (carry) out regularly, can improve our health. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】carried
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句的省略句。句意：这个实验表明，如果定期进行适量的锻炼，能够改善我们的健康。当主从句的主语一致，且从句含有be动词时，可以省略从句的主语和be动词，if carried out=if proper amounts of exercise are carried out，从句的主语proper amounts of exercise与carry out是动宾关系，故用被动语态。故填carried。
54. When ________ (compare) different cultures, we often pay much attention to the differences without noticing the similarities between them. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】comparing
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句的省略。句意：当我们比较不同的文化时，我们往往只关注差异，而没有注意到它们的相似之处。when引导时间状语从句，从句的完整形式为：when we are comparing different cultures，主从句的主语一致，且从句含有be动词时，可以省略从句中主语及be动词。故填comparing。
55. He might be surprised to know how eager the girl has been ________ (hear) the three words he is struggling to say. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to hear
【解析】
【详解】考查动词不定式。句意：他可能会惊讶地发现，女孩是多么渴望听到他难以说出那三个字。根据句意以及分析句子结构可知，how引导的know的宾语从句，be eager to do“渴望做某事”为固定句型，空处应用动词不定式to hear。故填to hear。
56. Last summer holiday, I went back to my hometown, only ________ (find) the neighbors and the houses that I used to be familiar with were gone. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to find
【解析】
【详解】考查动词不定式。句意：去年暑假，我回到家乡，却发现我曾经熟悉的邻居和房子都不见了。“only to do”作结果状语，表示意料之外的结果。故填to find。

【答案】to be completed
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：如果本月底之前完工的工程延期，施工公司将对经济损失承担全部责任。空处在从句中作project的后置定语，complete和project之间是被动关系，且动作还未发生，故应用不定式的被动式表将来和被动。故填to be completed。

根据课文内容，完成下面的句子。每空一词。
58. 接下来的风俗绝不寻常。

Perhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin. Until four years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi province. He only wrote science fiction in his spare time. But it was during this time that Liu’s imagination took flight. He did what he might never have the chance to do in real life – wander in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets light-years away.
But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn’t expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction’s highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It’s the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award.
In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur C. Clarke (1917-2008), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that reading Clarke’s 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him.
“My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea,” Liu said. “That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (使……敬畏) by the mystery of the universe.”
But no matter how far away Liu’s imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational.
In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations, rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. Liu’s works aren’t simply daydreams.
4. What do we know about Liu Cixin
A. He became a full-time writer when he was young.
B. He dreamed about wandering in space from childhood.
C. He is the first Asian to win the Arthur C. Clarke Award.
D. He is the first Chinese winner of the Hugo Award.
5. Liu Cixin’s words are used mainly to show ________.
A. his interest in mysteries of the universe B. his love of reading science fiction
C. his confusion when he started writing D. his feeling after reading Clarke’s work
6. What’s the text mainly about
A. Liu Cixin’s achievements and writing style. B. Liu Cixin’s contributions to science fiction.
C. How Liu Cixin became a sci-fi writer. D. How Liu Cixin started a new sci-fi style.
C
Not even the sea is safe from the glare (强光) of humans’ light at night. Researchers published the first global map of ocean light pollution. It shows large parts of the sea are lit up at night. And that risks confusing or disrupting the behaviors of sea life.
Tim Smyth led a team to research where in the water this light is strongest. Smyth and his colleagues started with a world map of man-made night-sky brightness that had been created in 2016. Then they added data on the ocean and atmosphere. Some data came from shipboard measurements of man-made light in the water. Others came from satellite images that judge how clear the water is. Particles (微粒) in the water, such as tiny floating plants and animals, can affect how far downward light travels. These factors vary from place to place and may change with the seasons. The team also used computers to copy how different wavelengths of light move through water.
Next, they wanted to know how that underwater light might affect animals. Not all species will be easily affected. The team focused on copepods (桡足亚纲甲壳动物). These common creatures are a key part of many ocean food webs. They use light as a signal to move all together to the dark deep, seeking safety from other surface creatures. Normally they use the sun or the winter moon as their signal. Too much man-made light can mess up their usual patterns.
Light pollution is strongest in about three feet of the water. Here, man-made light can be strong enough to confuse the copepods. Nearly 2 million square kilometers of ocean get such strong night light. That’s an area about the size of Mexico. Farther down, the light gets weaker. But even 65 feet deep, it’s still bright enough to bother copepods across 840,000 square kilometers of ocean.
The team described its findings December 13 in Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene.
7. What do we know about copepods from the passage
A. They are main eaters of other creatures.
B. They are not affected by underwater light.
C. They can escape attacks with the help of light.
D. They can weaken the effect of man-made light.
8. How does the author show the seriousness of light pollution in Paragraph 4
A. By stating opinions. B. By listing numbers.
C. By raising questions. D. By giving reasons.
9. Which of the following can is a suitable title for the text
A. Light Pollution from Sea Life B. Living Conditions of Copepods
C. Discoveries of Copepods D. Light Pollution Even in Sea
D
Imagine this: you walk into work and the camera above the doors scans your face, opening them automatically without you lifting a finger. Oh, but you need to run to the chemist's at lunch. You walk up to a camera, and your prescription（药方）is deposited in front of you. After work, you look at your face in the mirror, and it reminds you to wear sun-cream the next day. Sounds pretty good, right
Now imagine this: when you are walking down the street, a pair of policemen pull their guns and tell you to drop to the ground. After several days in jail, they let you know you were misidentified as a violent criminal on the loose. Regardless of your innocence, you're in the system. Now wherever you go, cameras that capture you will alert police to watch out for you. Even worse, as you enter stores, the facial recognition system lets the staff know a recently arrested individual has entered the building. Doesn't sound so good
As fantastical as either of those pictures might seem, it's quite possible that this will be the future we're headed towards. The "benefits" of the technology are already being implemented by airlines, as seen by JetBlue Airways. Rather than scanning a boarding pass or handing over a passport, you simply stare into a camera and you're identified. This does save time and make processes the best possible, but it raises the question: do you have the right to your own face Who is responsible for the protection of this information Can I even remove my face from this database and just go the old-fashioned way
We humans have the never-ending need to make things smoother, better and faster. This desire has helped drive the remarkable progress we have achieved as a society. However, it's time to take a step back and ask some necessary questions. We need to discuss whether we actually need the extensive use of facial recognition technology and how to ensure law enforcement (执行) doesn't abuse this technology. If we act now, I believe we can succeed in preventing technology companies from infiltrating（潜入）every aspect of our lives. If we don't, though, I fear the worst.
10. What does the underlined word "fantastical" probably mean
A. Unreal. B. Optimistic. C. Reasonable. D. Unbearable.
11. What is the downside of facial recognition technology
A. Inequality of rights. B. Disorder of society.
C. Violation of privacy. D. Denial of responsibility.
12. What may be to blame for the negative effect of facial recognition technology
A. Improper enforcement of laws. B. People's lack of awareness.
C. Ignorance of the technology. D. Companies' pursuit of profit.
13. What is the best title for the text
A. How do we live safely with facial recognition technology
B. Are we prepared for the use of facial recognition technology
C. What will the future be like without facial recognition technology
D. Can we prevent the development of facial recognition technology
E
Most students do an IQ test early in their school career. Even if they never see their results, they feel that their IQ is what determines how well they are going to do in life. When they see other students doing better than them, they usually believe that those students have a higher IQ and that there is nothing they can do to change facts. However, new research into EQ suggests that success is not simply the result of a high IQ.
While your IQ tells you how intelligent you are, your EQ tells you how well you use your intelligence. Professor Salovey suggests that when predicting someone’s future success, their EQ might actually matter more than their IQ. For example, have you ever wondered why some of the smartest students in your class, who you think deserve good grades, sometimes end up failing exams Perhaps their failure is because of their low EQ.
It is generally believed that people with high EQs are open to new ideas and have positive attitudes towards life. They are also less likely to be troubled by problems. On the other hand, there is little doubt that people with low EQs often have problems getting on with other people and dealing with difficult situations; thus they have a harder time surviving in life.
The good news is that most social scientists agree that EQ has a lot to do with education. Compared with IQ that seems to be fixed the moment you were born, EQ could be improved with right approaches. Some are trying to study the possibility of improving a person’s EQ, especially when it comes to“people’s skills”, such as understanding and communication.
To get ahead in the world and lead a happy successful life means getting on with other people and being able to understand and react to situations in the best way. This requires a high EQ—the higher the better.
14. Most students think others’ better performance in studies is due to_____.
A. high IQ B. teachers’ assistance
C. good luck D. hard work
15. What can we infer from paragraph 2
A. Only EQ determines someone’s future success.
B. EQ plays a more important role in one’s future success.
C. Some smartest students fail exams because of their low IQ.
D. The most intelligent students deserve good grades.
16. What will people with a high EQ tend to do
A. Refuse new ideas. B. Be troubled by problems.
C. Have a negative attitude. D. Get along well with others.
17. What contributes to a higher EQ according to most social scientists
A. Education. B. Parents.
C. Friends. D. Environment.
