    Early fifth-century philosopher St. Augustine famously wrote that he knew what time was unless someone asked him. Albert Einstein added another wrinkle when he theorized that time varies depending on where you measure it. Today's state-of-the-art atomic（原子的）clocks have proven Einstein right. Even advanced physics can't decisively tell us what time is, because the answer depends on the question you're asking.

    Forget about time as an absolute. What if, instead of considering time in terms of astronomy, we related time to ecology? What if we allowed environmental conditions to set the tempo（节奏）of human life? We're increasingly aware of the fact that we can't control Earth systems with engineering alone, and realizing that we need to moderate（调节）our actions if we hope to live in balance. What if our definition of time reflected that?

    Recently, I conceptualized a new approach to timekeeping that's connected to circumstances on our planet, conditions that might change as a result of global warming. We're now building a clock at the Anchorage Museum that reflects the total flow of several major Alaskan rivers,   which are sensitive to local and global environmental changes. We've programmed it to match an atomic clock if the waterways continue to flow at their present rate. If the rivers run faster in the future on average, the clock will get ahead of standard time. If they run slower, you'll see the opposite effect.

    The clock registers both short-term irregularities and long-term trends in river dynamics. It's a sort of observatory that reveals how the rivers are behaving from their own temporal frame（时间框架），and allows us to witness those changes on our smartwatches or phones. Anyone who opts to go on Alaska Mean River Time will live in harmony with the planet. Anyone who considers river time in relation to atomic time will encounter a major imbalance and may be motivated to counteract it by consuming less fuel or supporting greener policies.

    Even if this method of timekeeping is novel in its particulars, early agricultural societies also connected time to natural phenomena. In pre-Classical Greece, for instance, people "corrected" official calendars by shifting dates forward or backward to reflect the change of season. Temporal connection to the environment was vital to their survival. Likewise, river time and other timekeeping systems we're developing may encourage environmental awareness.

    When St. Augustine admitted his inability to define time, he highlighted one of time's most noticeable qualities: Time becomes meaningful only in a defined context. Any timekeeping system is valid, and each is as praiseworthy as its purpose.

4．What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?

A．Timekeeping is increasingly related to nature.

B．Everyone can define time on their own terms.

C．The qualities of time vary with how you measure it.

   D．Time is a major concern of philosophers and scientists.

5．The author raises three questions in Paragraph 2 mainly to      .

A．present an assumption        B．evaluate an argument

C．highlight an experiment        D．introduce an approach

6．What can we learn from this passage?

A．Those who do not go on river time will live an imbalanced life.

   B．New ways of measuring time can help to control Earth systems.

C．Atomic time will get ahead of river time if the rivers run slower.

D．Modem technology may help to shape the rivers' temporal frame.

7．What can we infer from this passage?

A．It is crucial to improve the definition of time.

B．A fixed frame will make time meaningless.

C．We should live in harmony with nature.

D．History is a mirror reflecting reality.

    Children may learn new words better when they learn them in the context of other words they are just learning — according to a new research from the University of East Anglia.

    Researchers investigated how 18-24-month-olds learn new words — in the context of words they already know well and those they don't. The findings help explain how children learn new words and suggest a new way that parents and carers could help boost language development.

    Previous research suggests that when children hear a word they do not know and see an object they have never seen in the context of some objects that they can already name, such as a toy or a ball, they guess that the new word refers to the new thing.

Dr. Larissa Samuelson from the university wanted to know if the strength of a child's knowledge of familiar things—how well they know what "cars" or "balls" are, for example — mattered for learning new words and remembering them. They asked 82 children to take part in the study and carry out two experiments among them. And then they got some really surprising findings.

"We had expected that a stronger knowledge of familiar words would be better for learning new words, but we found the opposite was true." Dr Samuelson said. "This new study suggests another way we might be able to help boost children's ability to remember new word-object links- by teaching them in the context of other things that they are just learning."

    It seems counterintuitive, but it is perhaps because the less well-known items don't compete with the new words as much. If they learn new words in the context of playing with well-known items such as a ball or book, they don't process the new word as much.

8．What is the purpose of the new research?

A．To challenge the findings of previous studies.

B．To observe the process of children's learning.

C．To better understand children's word learning.

D．To compare children's different learning styles.

9．What can be inferred from Dr. Samuelson's words?

A．Their findings are out of expectation.     

B．Their research should focus on children.

   C．We should be more patient with children.    

D．We need to provide guidance on learning.

10．What does the underlined word "counterintuitive" mean in the last paragraph?

A．Consistent.     B．Encouraging.     C．Impractical.     D．Unreasonable.

11．What does the text mainly tell us?

A．Less familiar words help children learn better.

B．Word-object links contribute to better learning.

C．New research finds the secrets of raising children.

    D．Children learn better with the help of their parents.

According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed（安装）has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them.

    Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven't given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they'll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in fanning regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.

  “Solar projects need to be good neighbors," says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment(InSPIRE) project. "They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy." InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to："low-impact" solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators（传粉昆虫）．

    Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities-and now there are guidelines for solar farms.

Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. "These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that's going on in the landscape," says Macknick.

12．What do solar developers often ignore?

A．The decline in the demand for solar energy.

B．The negative impact of installing solar panels.

C．The rising labor cost of building solar farms.

D．The most recent advances in solar technology

13．What does InSPIRE aim to do?

    A．Improve the productivity of local farms.

    B．Invent new methods for controlling weeds.

C．Make solar projects environmentally friendly.

D．Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas.

14．What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4?

A．To conserve pollinators.        B．To restrict solar development.   

C．To diversify the economy.       D．To ensure the supply of energy

15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A．Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay      B．Solar Energy: Hope for the Future

C．InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture      D．Solar Farms: A New Development

Ahh... Fish, chips and mushy peas! There is nothing more British than fish and chips. Freshly cooked, boiling hot fish and chips, topped with salt and seasoned with vinegar, packed' in newspaper and eaten out-of-doors on a cold and wintry day — it simply cannot be beaten!   16 

Both Lancashire and London claim to be the first to invent this famous meal. Chips were a cheap, basic food of the industrial north while fried fish was introduced in London's East End.    

  17   So was born our national dish offish and chips!

  18   Mr. Lees sold fish and chips from a wooden shelter in the market. Later he moved the business to a permanent shop across the road. However in London, it is said that Joseph Malin, a Jewish immigrant, opened a fish and chip shop in Cleveland Way within the sound of Bow Bells in the 1860s.

Fish and chip shops were originally small family businesses, often run from the front room of the house and were commonplace by the late 19th century. Through the latter part of the 19th century and well into the 20th century, the fish and chip trade expanded greatly to satisfy the needs of the growing industrial population of Great Britain. Fish and chips became vital to the diet of the ordinary people.   19 

In 1999, the British consumed nearly 300 million servings of fish and chips. That equates to six servings for every man, woman and child in the country   20   That's 17 for every one Burger King restaurant, making British Fish and Chips the nation's favourite take-away.

A．It quickly became a favourite of the workers.

B．People soon decided to put fried fish and chips together.

C．John Lees owned a restaurant and sold the famous pairing.

D．So how, when and where did this British dish come about?

E．There are now around 8,500 fish and chip shops across the UK.

F．Some shops had to employ doormen to control the queue at busy times.

G．The first fish and chip shop in Lancashire is thought to have opened in 1863.

    Last week, I taught a case study on the decline of Nokia to my MBA students. I asked them, "Why did Nokia fall from industry    21   to also-ran(failure) position in the space of less than five years?" Their answers were    22  ：

"They lost touch with their customers." True, but almost tautological-and interesting to note that this is the same Nokia that in the early 2000s was praised for its    23   -centric marketing and design capabilities.

"They  24   to develop the necessary technologies." Not really true-Nokia had a prototype touch screen before the iPhone was launched, and its smartphones were   25   superior to anything Apple, Samsung, or Google had to offer during the late 1990s.

    "They didn't recognize that the basis of competition was shifting from the hardware to the ecosystem."  26  ，not really true-the "ecosystem" battle began in the early 2000s, with Nokia joining forces with Ericsson, Motorola, and Psion to create Symbian as a   27   technology that would keep Microsoft at bay.

    Through this period, the people at Nokia were   28   the changes going on around them, and they were never short of leading-edge technology or clever marketers. Where they struggled was in transmitting   29   into action. The company lacked the capability to change in a decisive and committed way.

    The failure of big companies to   30   to changing circumstances is one of the principal puzzles in the world of business. Occasionally, a genuinely "disruptive" technology, such as digital imaging, comes along and   31   an entire industry. But usually the sources of failure are more dull and avoidable—a failure to   32   technologies that have already been developed, an arrogant disregard(傲慢的漠视)for changing customer demands, a self-satisfied attitude towards new competitors.

    In such cases, the final responsibility for   33   rests with the CEO. But if such failures are to be avoided, it is clear that the CEO cannot如it on his or her own. People across the firm must keep their eyes open to   34   in their business, and to take responsibility to push their new ideas and   35   existing ways of working. Obviously, this isn't easy to do, but if there is a better understanding of the problem then there is a chance for improvement.

21．A．leadership      B．companionship     C．craftsmanship     D．citizenship

22．A．acceptable      B．imaginable     C．changeable     D．predictable

23．A．customer      B．product      C．technology     D．capital

24．A．transformed     B．failed       C．attempted      D．resolved

25．A．greatly      B．really       C．competitively     D．technologically

    My teenage son, Jordan, always complained about having to be home earlier than all his friends. He would tell me that he was already seventeen, but still had a curfew(宵禁). He believed he was practically an adult. I pointed out that he was not an adult as he was still in high school.

    "You don't trust me!" he yelled. Before I continued, he rolled his eyes, slammed the door and walked away. I sighed. How could I make Jordan see that I only wanted to keep him safe?

    I decided to go for a walk, hoping the December air would clear my head. I opened the front door and nearly stepped on her: a small black cat, just like a meatball. "Hi, Meatball," I said, bringing her into my arms. I walked back in, touching her neck gently. Meatball seemed happy enough to come in the house, but after an hour or two, she sat by the door, meowing to go back outside.

    "Why won't she just stay in with us all the time?" Nathan, my youngest son asked.

    I explained to him that she was happy here but she liked being able to come and go as she pleased.

    "That must be nice"，Jordan muttered from the other room, complaining why the cat, not him, could come and go. He even asked me to give Meatball a curfew.

    Meatball became a regular.

One night, temperatures were unusually low. Meatball stood at the door, meowing to go outside.

I shook my head at her, afraid that she might freeze to death. She stared at me and meowed again. I patted her head, "I know you're not happy, but it's for your own good."

    "Mom's not being mean to you," Nathan told the cat. "She's just trying to keep you from turning into a frozen meatball." We both laughed at his joke.

    The next morning, I couldn't find Meatball. I asked the kids if anyone had seen her.

Getting to Know the Plants Around Us

Last week, with the aim of learning more about the plants and the importance of ecological balance, all the members of the biology club in our school, together with the senior-one students, participated in the field trip themed as Getting to Know the Plants around Us organized by the Students' Union.

The meaningful activity began with a 30-minute instruction in each classroom, where students were instructed about their hands-on tasks and basic principles of scientific observation. Then, the enthusiastic participants were led to a tiny forest behind the the school playground to identify different kinds of local tree species with a series of specific tree pictures in hand, Each student eagerly shared their findings with his teammates as they observed each part of the various plants attentively.

The activity proved an incredibly great success as it facilitates students' developing real-world ideas for what they have learnt in the classroom. Apart from providing a chance to combine theory with practice, it also helped them deepen their insight into the plant world.

Jordan nodded, "I let her out last night." My mouth dropped open. "She was outside all night?" I was so furious, "It was freezing and she could die!" Jordan choked back his words, stunned. I grabbed my coat and rushed outside. Jordan followed, fear welling up in his eyes. Several minutes later, the poor thing was found, shaking and curling into a tiny ball. I picked her up, unsure whether she was alive or dead. Jordan was scared, "We need a vet! Now!"

As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat. I could hear him talking to the cat, apologizing repeatedly. Luckily, the vet saved Meatball Seeing her eyes open, Jordan stroked her head, all tears. Then, surprisingly, he turned to me. He apologized for what he had done. "I know you just want to keep me safe," he murmured. I felt a lump in my throat. He rubbed Meatball's back, "Looks like we are both going to observe the curfew. It's for our own good."
