As a young person, I never thought of myself as a sports enthusiast because I was quite clumsy. But there was one thing I enjoyed: running. It felt like I was soaring(翱翔) through the air. Sadly, this changed when I hurt my knee two years ago. I had to stay in bed for two weeks and even walking a short way was hard for me. I was so upset that I cried as I moved to the car for several days.
When therapy(治疗;疗法) wasn't working well for me, I signed up for a hot yoga class for girls, Bikram Yoga to be exact. Starting a yoga practice was truly a blessing because it helped me gain strength in my knees but, most importantly yoga helped me attain a more peaceful state of mind, body and spirit.
Since each class was heated to 105°F, every time I stepped foot in the yoga studio,I'd feel a surge(涌起) of negative thoughts come upon me like a big ocean wave. Some of these thoughts were, in the beginning of my practice, so strong that I walked out of the class several times. However, as the months passed by, I noticed that when I didn't get swayed away(动摇) by my negative thoughts, I could stay in the hot room for longer.
After 3-4months of practising hot yoga, my arms and legs were beginning to get definition. I also woke up with so much more energy than I had before starting my yoga practice and I gradually started shedding the pounds(减轻体重) from my body. Yoga literally made me feel as if I'd taken a shot of energy drink and just gave me that burst that helped my knees heal and made my overall health better.
As I saw some of my classmates do poses that looked appealing to me, I started to think maybe I could do them too. Therefore, yoga helped show me that I have no real limitations physically unless I set those limitations myself through eating junk and thinking in negative limiting terms.
Also, practising yoga in front of a mirror helped me connect with myself and practising with a group of people really helped me to feel a greater sense of connection with humanity whereas before I didn't . Overall, this yoga practice has helped me to see I'm part of a bigger picture in life!

Science fiction writers create imaginary worlds. The way things work in your imaginary worlds will be based on actual science. So it's important for you to be familiar with the scientific principles and inventions that are related to your creation. For example, if you're writing about humans living on a planet with zero gravity, then you need to know the effects of zero gravity on the human body.
Then you have to figure out the exact rules of your imaginary worlds. And you have to follow them. If humans have evolved to breathe underwater in Chapter 1, your character can't drown in a swimming pool in Chapter 3. If your robots write poetry but not fiction, then you can't throw a novelist robot into Chapter 8.The issue here is maintaining your readers'trust. That means the reader is willing to pretend along with you. If you start out with an ordinary detective novel and then throw in someone breathing underwater in the 6th chapter, your readers’ reaction might be,“What the h…… ”The imaginative spell is broken.You've pulled the readers out of their imagination. The same thing happens if you change the rules halfway.
Part of your preparation work for the novel is to map out its worlds for yourself in great detail. Decide: the history of the world, the geography, what possibilities it offers, how everything works in this new reality, and how all of these factors affect the way your characters think, feel, and react to things. You don't have to tell your readers all the rules in the first chapter. But you have to let your readers know enough to understand what's going on. This also allows you to work out logical problems and contradictions(矛盾) before you start writing.
When you are writing, remember to make it feel real. You are inviting readers to visit a new world. They will want to be able to see, hear, feel, smell, and even taste what it's like. Whether your novel is about a world without disease or an undiscovered planet, help your readers feel like they're actually there.
46. What's the relationship between actual science and science fiction
A. Actual science provides basic principles for science fiction.
B. Science fiction often reflects the development of actual science.
C. Actual science limits the imagination described in science fiction.
D. Science fiction promotes the development of actual science.
47. The second paragraph is mainly developed by .
A. making comparisons B. giving examples
C. following the time order D. analyzing causes
48. Which of the following statements is TRUE
A. It is necessary to do some scientific experiments before writing science fiction.
B. It is more difficult to write science fiction than ordinary detective novels.
C. Readers of science fiction actually pretend the writers' rules are true.
D. It is great to leave some contradictions in your science fiction.
49. The target readers of the passage are .
A. young scientists B. college students
C. science fiction writers D professional journalists
50. The passage is mainly about .
A. how to write science fiction
B how to raise interest in science
C. what to expect from science fiction
D. how to do scientific research
D
As the saying goes,“All roads lead to Rome”——but was that really the case The answer is not as easy as an unqualified“yes”or“no”. It's a little more complicated than that.
In 2015, three researchers at the Moovel Lab dropped a uniform grid(网格)of almost 500,000 points across a map of Europe. These points were simply random spots from which to start a journey to Rome. The team then developed a method to calculate the best route to Rome using modern routes from each of those starting points. The more frequently a road was used across the different points, the thicker it was drawn on the map. Their results showed many roads led to Rome, connecting other major cities along the way, such as London,Constantinople (present-day Istanbul) and Paris, which were also part of the
ancient empire.
News of the map spread quickly, but it didn't actually prove that all roads lead to Rome. If the researchers had conducted the same exercise and looked at the quickest way from those same 500,000 points to Berlin or Moscow, the map would also show similar results.
The team used computer modeling to look at most logical routes that connect two points on the landscape, and then compared that with their knowledge of Roman roads to see if they're similar. Modern routes are often the same in most cases. In other words, many of Europe's multi-lane highways are the successors(继承者) of Roman roads.
In ancient times, roads were mainly built to ensure people could travel around within a short time. This has changed in recent years, however; newly built motorways avoid populated places to save money in acquiring land.
The main roads in ancient Rome were straight lines whenever geography allowed. These major roads were built with different layers like earth and rock,and finally big pieces of stone on the top. They weren't flat, but had a round roof to allow proper drainage(排水). Then came other secondary dirt roads that weren't paved. They connected smaller towns and cities, rather than offering any sort of a route to Rome.
So, was the saying in Paragraph 1 right No, but an awful lot of important ones eventually made their way there.
51. What is the purpose of quoting the saying
A. To draw a conclusion.
B. To present an argument.
C. To introduce the topic of the text.
D. To give an answer to the question.
82. What did the team do with the new method mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. They found the best web of roads leading to Rome.
B. They counted all the existing roads in Rome.
C. They showed the layout of cities in Europe.
D. They drew the map of ancient Rome.
53. What might be a significance of building Roman roads
A. It connected urban areas and rural areas.
B. It changed the history of European roads.
C. It contributed to traffic rules of two runways.
D. It set a good example to European road styles.
54. What did people attach importance to while building roads in ancient times
A. Whether the roads were wide enough.
B. Whether the roads helped collect rainwater.
C. Whether the roads helped people save time.
D. Whether the roads were close to people's residences
55. Which can be the best title for the text
A. How were roads built in ancient Europe
B. Was ancient Rome an empire in Europe
C. Why does Rome have so many roads
D. Do all roads lead to Rome

My son and I had been looking for a Boston Terrier(波士频犬) for months before we found one last year. He was very thin, and looked and smelled near death. I thought the man who had him should be punished for treating an animal in such a cruel way until we were told about the story of Lucky, a black-and-white Boston Terrier with a funny face and big sad eyes.
Lucky had been owned by a man called Fred, who had a mental disorder and took medicine every day. This medicine made him sleep quite deeply, so Fred only took it at bedtime. Lucky slept by his side.
One night, Fred took his medicine, went to bed and fell sound asleep. The house wiring shorted and set the house on fire. Being under the medicine's power,Fred just kept sleeping. Lucky barked and barked, but Fred couldn't hear him.When Lucky realized Fred wasn't waking up, he jumped into the middle of his chest and started licking his face. Fred finally woke up and realized the house was on fire. He crawled out of the bedroom window. It took Fred a minute to realize he had left his dog behind. He reached through the window and grabbed Lucky,pulling him to safety.
After the fire, Fred had to move into an apartment, where he couldn't keep animals. So he had to give Lucky to a friend of his, asking him to find a good home for Lucky. My son and I saw an ad in the paper putting Lucky up for adoption and we eventually adopted Lucky.
Lucky inhaled so much smoke that night that his bar k will never be normal again. He sounds like he has a throat full of pea gravel(豆砾石) but he has the spirit of a lion. I'm proud to have him around, and I'm looking forward to many more years with this brave and worthy companion.
