Inspired by the movement to protect the Carmanah Valley and Clayoquot Sound I decided to devote myself to producing images for conservation full-time in 1992. Since that time my work has taken me all over the world and my photos have appeared in many major magazines. However, many of my most rewarding moments have come from working on projects in British Columbia, Canada, and sharing those images in slide show tours I have given throughout Canada, the U.S. and Europe.

The more I travel and photograph in other parts of the world the more I have come to realize the wilderness we have in Canada is truly special and rare.

I have always felt that as a photographer my goal is to approach the natural environment with the sense of wonder and curiosity that comes so naturally to children. This, I believe, is one of the basic keys not just to producing meaningful images, but more importantly, to gaining a full appreciation and enjoyment of the natural world.

I find that not only my best images, but also my most enjoyable experiences in nature, occur when I have an open mind and follow my intuition (直觉). When I feel drawn to a certain scene, I try to make the scene simple and not include anything that is not relevant. I also try all ways to look for beautiful light. Early morning and the end of the day almost always produce light that results in more pleasing images than those taken under the strong light in the middle of a sunny day. Soft cloudy skies are wonderful for photographing all day, especially in our beautiful forests or for small subjects like wildflowers. Rain, storms, and snow also provide wonderful opportunities for new and different kinds of images.

41. In the first paragraph, the author mainly tells us about________.

A. his working experiences B. his goal as a photographer

C. his skills in photographing D. his understanding about conservation

42. It can be inferred that the author________.

A. was born in the United Kingdom

B. now works mainly in the United States

C. has worked as a full-time tour guide since 1992

D. is aware of the importance of environmental protection

43. What’s the authors goal as a photographer?

A. To produce beautiful pictures

B. To take his children to approach the nature.

C. To gain people’s appreciation and admiration.

D. To get close to nature with strong desire to know about it

44. Which of the following is true of the author’s images?

A. They are not easy to be produced in soft cloudy skies.

B. Sometimes the scenes in them are simple and don’t include irrelevant things.

C. If they are wildflowers, the best time to produce them is in the rain.

D. If produced at the end of the day, they are more beautiful than in the early moming.

45. What is the purpose of writing the passage?

A. To study the key to becoming a famous artist.

B. To show thoughts about nature photography.

C. To praise wonderful scenes they have in Canada.

D. To tell the most enjoyable experiences in nature.

Brushing your teeth twice a day should keep the dentist away. But if a group of scientific researchers have their wish, it will make the rest of your body healthy too. A toothbrush that checks blood sugar and bacteria while you brush is currently in development in the USA. It is one of many gadgets（小器械） proposed by engineers and doctors at the Center for Future Health in New York.

The gadgets seem fanciful, but the basic principles are simple. The gadgets should make it easy for people to detect illness long before it strikes and so seek treatment far earlier than normal. Instead of relying on hi-tech hospitals, the emphasis（重点） is shifted to the home and easy-to-use gadgets. In the long run, the technology may even prevent illness by encouraging us to lead healthier lives.

Intelligent bandages are a good example. Powerful sensors within the bandage could quickly identify tiny amounts of bacteria in a wound and determine what medicine would work best. The cut could then be treated instantly.

The biggest development is melanoma（黑色素瘤） monitor designed to give early warnings of cancer. It could be used to take a picture of your body each week and then compare it to previous images. If a problem is found, the system would advise you to get a check-up.

If all this sounds worrying, then help is at hand. Experts are also working on a “digital doctor”, complete with a comforting bedside manner. A standard computer would be able to understand your voice and answer questions about your symptoms in plain English and in a way which could calm your nerves.

Stress is no sweat either. A portable communication aid could recognize certain phrases and tones and let you know when you are about to lose your temper. The software would also suggest ways of keeping your cool.

Researchers are still struggling, however, with making the technology cheap and simple enough for the household user. That is going to be the difficult part.

46. The gadgets mentioned in Paragraph 1 ________.

A. are used only in hospitals

B. are too complicated to operate

C. help people recover from illness

D. can detect disease as soon as possible

47. A melanoma monitor can benefit ________.

A. those dealing with stress B. potential cancer patients

C. people suffering a wound D. people who’ve got toothache

48. The underlined part “keeping your cool” in Paragraph 6 can be replaced by “________”.

A. staying calm B. stopping sweating

C. keeping handsome D. expressing in words

49. It is difficult for scientists to ________.

A. persuade people to use the gadgets B. design inventions to prevent illness

C. collect enough money for their work D. make the gadgets affordable and handy

50. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. A Doctor in the House B. Hospitals in the Future

C. Tips for Brushing your Teeth D. The History of Medical Equipment

【答案】46. D    47. B    48. A    49. D    50. A

D

Biologists from the John Innes Centre in England discovered that plants have a biological process which divides their amount of stored energy by the length of the night. This solves the problem of how to portion out（分配） energy reserves during the night so that the plant can keep growing yet not risk burning off all its stored energy.

While the sun shines, plants perform photosynthesis（光合作用）. In this process, the plants change sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into stored energy in the form of long chains of sugar, called starch（淀粉）. At night, the plants burn this stored starch to fuel continued growth.

“The calculations are precise so that plants prevent starvation but also make the most efficient use of their food,” said study co-author Alison Smith. “If the starch store is used too fast, plants will starve and stop growing during the night. If the store is used too slowly, some of it will be wasted.”

The scientists studied the plant Arabidopsis, which is regarded as a model plant for experiments. To give the plants some math tests, the biologists let night arrive unexpectedly early or late for them.

During one of the exams, they shut off the lights early on them that had been grown with twelve-hour days and nights. Putting them into darkness after only an eight-hour day means they didn’t have time to store as much starch as usual. And this forced the plants to adjust their normal nightly rhythm.

Amazingly, even after this day length trick, the plants did very well in their exams and ended up with just five percent of starch left over at the end of the night. They had neither starved, nor stored starch that could have been used to fuel more growth.

The authors suggested that similar biological calculators may explain how a migratory bird, the little stint, can make a five-thousand-kilometer journey to their summer habitat in the Arctic and arrive with enough fat reserves to survive only approximately half a day more, on average.

The results of the study were published in e Life.

51. According to the passage, plants _________.

A. use little energy during the day

B. usually stop growing at night

C. waste a lot of energy at night

D. store starch during the day

52. What did the scientists do when studying Arabidopsis?

A. They changed the plant’s light conditions.

B. They provided the plant with more starch.

C. They tried to keep the plant’s natural rhythm.

D. They attached a biological calculator to the plant.

53. When morning arrived, the experimental plants ________.

A. nearly died of lack of food

B. used most of their stored energy

C. began to regulate their food store

D. stored enough starch for the next day

54. What can we learn about the little stint?

A. They may have a system to control energy consumption.

B. They often die during their long and difficult journey.

C. They leave the Arctic in summer every year.

D. They are unable to calculate the distances.

55. The passage mainly tells us _________.

A. plants feel hungrier day by day

B. plants are good at storing energy

C. plants do math to survive the night

D. plants use starch to fuel their growth

【答案】51. D    52. A    53. B    54. A    55. C

Climb of a lifetime

British historian Jacob Bronowski once wrote， “Man masters nature not by force, but by understanding.”

This is especially true for extreme climber Alex Honnold, who climbed the California’s EI Capitan by himself, without any safety ropes. The New York Times called it “one of the greatest athletic feats of any kind, ever”.

Now you can watch him do it. The documentary Free Solo, which hit Chinese mainland cinemas on Sept. 6, shows Honnold’s brave journey up the 914-meter vertical(垂直的) mountain. The film won the 2019 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in February. In it, Honnold gives us some useful advice: “You’ll always feel fear, but over time you’ll realize the only way to truly manage your fear is to broaden your comfort zone.”

In fact, free climbing is a testament to perseverance(毅力), control, and concentration. “I’m not thinking about anything when I’m climbing,” Honnold said. “I’m focused on executing(执行) what’s in front of me.” This strong focus on the present is sort of meditation(冥想) that we can use in our daily routines.

While the documentary seemingly praises extreme athletes for pushing the limits of human potential, some are concerned about Honnold recklessly(不顾一切地) risking his own life. “His continued pursuit of ropeless ascents(攀登) puts significant stress on his loved ones, even when he succeeds,” Climbing Magazine noted.

Free Solo seems to say that with enough courage and dedication(全心投入), one can accomplish any goal. However, the movie may also be viewed as the disturbing story of a climber who went against all better judgment and got away with it(未遭遇不测).

56. How did Alex Honnold climbed the California’s EI Capitan?(within 10 words)

57. What is Free Solo mainly about?(within 15 words)

58. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?(within 15 words)

59. What do Honnold’s loved ones think of him, according to Climbing Magazine?(within 15 words)

60. What can you learn from the documentary Free Solo?(within 20 words)

【答案】56. By himself, without any safety ropes.   

57. About Honnold’s brave journey up the vertical mountain.   

58. It means that challenging yourself is important./Challenging yourself is the best way to manage your fear.   

59. They believe he should value his own life.   

60. With enough courage and dedication, one can accomplish any goal.

Good morning. Today I’d like to talk about the topic of carrying forward Chinese traditional culture.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Thank you.

【答案】Good morning. Today I’d like to talk about the topic of carrying forward Chinese traditional culture.

As is known to us all, China has a long history and it is true that Chinese traditional culture has becoming more and more popular home and abroad. A great many arts and crafts draw attention of the world. It is of great importance of carrying forward traditional Chinese culture. I am very fond of traditional Chinese operas, such as Beijing and Sichuan operas, through which I can learn the charm of the Chinese traditional drama. There is no doubt that we young people are increasingly interested in Chinese traditional culture.

In my opinion, it is our duty to carrying forward Chinese traditional culture. What we ought to do is to transmit it from generation to generation. Only with these efforts adopted can we ensure that Chinese culture will be led to a brilliant future.

Thank you.
