Titanic I Could Sail as Soon as 2022
If you thought the long-delayed project to launch a full size copy of the ill-fated Royal Mail Ship Titanic was sunk in the water--- think again. Just like Celine Dion sang back in 1997, the travel project will go on and on.
Australian businessman and politician Clive Palmer, who is behind the (31)________, announced in September that work on the ship had started again. The idea was first floated in 2012. It is said that the new ship will be a(n) (32)________ copy of the infamous ship, which sank in 1912 following a crash with an iceberg (冰山).
To avoid a(n) (33)________ disaster, Titanic II will apparently be equipped with plenty of life boats, modern navigation(导航) and radar equipment. The first voyage, however, will take passengers from Dubai to New York, reports Cruise Arabia, with the first sailing (34)________ to take place in 2022.

III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Lying in a Foreign Language Is Easier
Most people don’t find it more difficult to lie in a foreign language than in their native tongue. However, things are different when telling the truth: This is clearly more difficult for many people in a foreign language than in their native one.
This (41)________ conclusion is the result of a study conducted by two psychologists from the University of Würzburg: Kristina Suchotzki and Matthias Gamer. The two scientists presented their (42)________ in Journal of Experimental Psychology.
Their findings could be important for a lot of processes in which the trustworthiness of certain people must be (43)________. In such situations, reports by non-native speakers tend to be considered as less (44)________ even though they may be truthful. Their discovery also explains another a (45)________ namely that people communicating in a foreign language are generally considered as less trustworthy.'
There are two research (46)________ to predict differences between deception and truth telling in a native compared to a second language.
Research from cognitive (认知的) load theory suggests that lying is more difficult in a foreign language. Compared to truth telling, lying is a cognitively more (47)________ task. Kristina Suchotzki explains. Adding a foreign language imposes an additional cognitive (48)________ which makes lying even more difficult .
Lying is easier in a foreign language: This should be true according to the emotional distance hypothesis (假设). This assumption is based on the fact that lying is (49)________ more emotions than staying with the truth. Liars have higher stress levels and are more tense. Research shows that compared to speaking in a native language, communicating in a second language is less (50)________ arousing. Accordingly, this (51)________ emotional arousal would promote lying.
To settle this question, the Würzburg psychologists conducted a number of experiments in which up to 50 test persons had to complete specific tasks. They were asked to answer a number of questions sometimes (52)________ and sometimes deceptively both in their native language and in a foreign language. Some questions were (53)________; other questions were clearly emotional.
The results show that it usually takes longer to answer emotional questions. Answers in the foreign language also take longer. And generally, it takes longer to tell a lie than to tell the truth. However, the time differences between deceptive and truthful answers are less.(54)________ in a second language than in the native language.
The data suggest that the increased cognitive effort is responsible for the prolongation (延长) of the truth (55)________ in the foreign language. The reason why this prolongation almost does not exist in lying can be explained with the emotional distance hypothesis: The greater emotional distance in a foreign language thus cancels out the higher cognitive load when lying.

Section B

In a career that lasted more than half a century, Tom Wolfe wrote fiction and nonfiction best. sellers including The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test and The Bonfire of the Vanities. Along the way, he created a new type of journalism and coined phrases that became part of the American vocabulary.
Wolfe began working as a newspaper reporter, first for The Washington Post, then the New York Herald Tribune. He developed a literary style in nonfiction that became known as the New Journalism. Ive always agreed on a theoretical level that the techniques for fiction and nonfiction are interchangeable," he said. The things that work in nonfiction would work in fiction, and vice versa.
When Tom Wolfe's voice broke into the world of nonfiction, it was a time when a lot of writers, and a lot of artists in general,' were turning inwards," says Lev Grossman, book critic for Time magazine. Wolfe didn't do that. Wolfe turned outwards. He was a guy who was interested in other people. Wolfe was interested in how they thought, how they did things and how the things they did affected the world around them.
In 1979, Wolfe published The Right Stuff an account of the military test pilots who became America's first astronauts.Four years later, the book- was adapted as a feature film. “The Right Stuff was the book for me”, says Grossman. It reminded me, in case Id forgotten, that the world is an incredible place."
In The Right Stuff, Wolfe popularized the phrase pushing the envelope." In a New York magazine article, Wolfe described the 1970s as The 'Me' Decade. Grossman says these phrases became part of the American idiom because they were accurate.
“He was an enormously forceful observer, and he was not afraid of making strong claims about what was happening in reality," Grossman says. He did it well and people heard him. And they repeated what he said because he was right." All those words started a revolution in nonfiction that is still going on.

56. The New Journalism is a style of journalism that_______.
A. changes its news writing techniques frequently
B. popularizes new American idioms in a literary way

B. preferred making claims about events to writing books
C, was fond of commenting on other people's thoughts

The Earth is facing a climate crisis, but it's also getting greener and leafier: According to new research, the rise is largely due to China and India.
A study by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (ÑASA), based on extensive satellite photographs and published in the journal Nature Sustainability, has revealed that the two countries with the world's biggest populations are also responsible for the largest increase in greenness.
Since 200 the planet's green leaf area has increased by 5 percent, or over 2 million square miles. That's an area equivalent to the sum total of the Amazon rain forests, NASA says. But researchers stressed that the new greenery does not neutralize deforestation and its negative impacts on ecosystems elsewhere.
A third of the leaf increase is thanks to China and India, due to the implementation of major tree panting projects alongside a vast increase in agriculture.
Using the data from a NASA sensor, researchers discovered that China is the source of a quarter of the increase in green leaf area, despite possessing only 6.6 percent of the world's vegetated area (植被区). Forests account for 42 percent of that increase, while croplands make up a further 32 percent. China's increase. in forest area is the. result of forest preservation and expansion programs, NASA said, established to fight against the impacts of climate change, air pollution and soil erosion (水土流失). India has contributed a further 6.8 percent rise in green leaf area, with 82 percent from croplands and 4.4 percent from forests.
Rama Nemani, a co-author of the study and a researcher at NASA's Ames Research Center, said in a statement, When the. greening of the Earth was first observed, we thought it was due to a warmer, wetter climate ,and fertilization from the added carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, leading to more leaf growth in northern forests, for instance. Now, with the data that lets us understand the phenomenon at really small scales. we see that humans are also contributing, Nemani said. This will help scientists make better predictions about the behavior of different Earth systems, which will help countries make better decisions about how and when to take action.
Thomas Pugh, a professor at the University of Birmingham's School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences,said the NASA report expands scientists understanding of the causes behind global greening. But he also cautioned that a direct line cannot be drawn between an increase in global greening and a decrease in negative impacts of climate change.

63. The passage mainly tells us that________.
A. China and India have the world's largest green leaf areas
B. China and India are the lead role players in global greening
C. our planet is experiencing a climate crisis despite human efforts
D. our planet is getting greener due to the joint efforts of the world

64. What can be learned about China and India?
A. The area of croplands in India is larger than that in China.
B. India's rise in leaf area is largely due to its forestry program.
C. They both show a greater increase in forests than in croplands.
D. China boasts twenty-five percent of the global rise in leaf area.

65. According to Rama Nemani, their new findings are ________.
A. unexpected but significant
B. surprising but valueless
C. predictable but disappointing
D. uncontrollable but inspiring

66. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. There is an indirect link between global greening and climate change.
B. The new greenery does not have any positive effect on the global climate ,
C. The gain in greenness does not make up for the damage from loss of leaf area.
D. The increase in greening reduces the deforestation rate and its impact globally.

Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

A. Some negative experiences on social media can and do affect some children.
B. However, some experts question claims that too much screen time is harmful.
C. He wanted to see if there was a similar effect among young people in the United States.
D. So, it is natural that parents should wonder about all the time children spend looking at a
screen.
E. The researchers found no increase in risky sex or driving behaviors, use of illegal substances or eating disorders.
F. The researchers suggested that for those children, technology use might get in the way of taking part in other important activities.


Screen Time: How Much Is Too Much?
Many children spend a lot of time watching or playing with electronic media from televisions to video games,computers and other devices. (67)__________. Perhaps parents now should ease up on their concerns about screen time, at least for older boys and girls:
Until last year, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) suggested that children and teenagers have no more than two hours of screen time a day. It also suggests that parents balance a child's screen time with other activities.
(68)__________. Christopher Ferguson, who teaches psychology at Stetson University in Florida, notes a 1ack of evidence supporting reports that too many hours spent playing video games or watching TV is truly harmful.
Ferguson seems interested in one idea: the link between video games and violent or risky behavior. When he saw results from a recent British survey on screen time, he wanted to know more. The British study found a small negative effect about a one percent increase in aggression and depression among children who had six or more. hours of screen time a day. (69)__________. So, Ferguson and his team examined answers from a survey on risky behaviors. The study involved about 6000 boys and girls in Florida, whose average age was 16.
Data from this survey found that American children are also fairly resistant to the negative effects of electronic media.Among those who used screens up to six hours a day, the survey found: a 0.5 percent increase in criminal behavior, a 1.7percent increase in signs of depression; and a 1.2 percent negative effect on school grades. (70)__________. To further argue his point that screen time is not harmful, Ferguson adds that children should become familiar with screen technology.Electronic devices, he says, are a part of our everyday lives,

71. Fujian Puppetry (木偶剧) in Need of Urgent Safeguarding
AS one of the contributions of Chinese performing art to the world's cultural heritage (遗产), Fujian puppetry has along history. It has developed a set of characteristic techniques of performance and puppet making, as well as plays and music.
No final conclusions have yet been reached on the origins and evolution of Chinese puppetry. Dating from Shang dynasty, pottery figurines (陶俑) used as burial objects have been discovered at the Yin Ruins. In a Western Han tomb at Mawangdui in Changsha, Hunan Province, a number of wooden figurines have been unearthed. These were a great improvement on those from previous dynasties in terms of craftsmanship, variety and modeling. Over time, figurines as burial objects evolved into puppets for entertainment on festive occasions.
Chinese puppetry further developed during the Ming and Qing dynasties, with a bunch of schools spreading across the country. Puppet shows from various places had their own characteristics in terms of figure modeling.
In the past few decades, many traditional forms of art have seen a decline in popularity. In particular, Fujian puppetry finds itself in hot water. The number of young people leaning puppetry has decreased due to socioeconomic changes to their lifestyles. The long period of training required to master the complicated performing techniques has also been a factor in the fall.
In response, concerned communities, groups and bearers laid down the 2008-2020 Strategy for the Training of Coming Generations of Fujian Puppetry Practitioners. The key objectives are to safeguard the promotion of Fujian Puppetry and to increase its sustainability through professional training to cultivate a new generation of puppetry practitioners; creation of teaching materials; construction of training institutes and exhibition halls; regional and international cooperation; and artistic exchange.
In 2012, the strategy was added to the Register of Good Safeguarding Practices by the UNESCO. With great efforts made by practitioners, local people and education institutions, Fujian Puppetry can expect a brighter future.
