Have you ever thought of being an actress and having to finish a show you started and at the same time, battling a life-threatening illness?. That is what Emilia Clarke did. You may know her for her famous role of Daenerys Targaryen from the hit TV series Game of Thrones. This role skyrocketed her to stardom and made a big impact on her life. However, behind the scenes, Clarke had been battling a life-threatening illness for most of the first few seasons.

Just after finishing the first scazon of Game of Thrones, she faced an awful situation following the events of being rushed to the hospital after a workout session at the gym. Her worst fears were realized when she was diagnosed with subarachnoid hemorrhage, a kind of disease that kills once out of three people diagnosed with it. She was immediately told that she needed to undergo surgery to remove her brain aneurysm（动脉瘤）but she was a bit skeptical about it since she had a busy life and a busy schedule.

Ultimately, she had to go under the knife and the recovery was very miserable for her. She felt so hard to memorize and remember that it came to the point that she couldn't even remember her name. At that point, she was extremely desperate since she believed that her life depended on communication and memorization so her life wasn't worth anything. Luckily, a month later, Clarke  recovered well and was able to go home just a few weeks before the start of filming for the 2nd season of Game of Thrones.

After the third season, doctors found out that there was another brain aneurysm that needed immediate surgery. Recovery had been more painful than before and Clarke spent a month in hospital experiencing all sorts of anxiety and depression. Fortunately, she overcame this adversity again. She recovered well and was able to finish all eight seasons of Game of Thrones. Right now, she's just waiting for all the beauty and surprises that life can bring.

A flock of lawn-mowing sheep have been sent to trim wild grass surrounding the ruins of Pompeii as part of an initiative that also includes plans to revive ancient vineyards.

The 150 sheep arrived in Pompeii yesterday and immediately got to work eating up the grass.in an unexcavated section of Regio V, a vast area to the north of the archaeological park. In a nine-month experiment, the flock will also be appointed to trim other grassy areas as well as maintain ancient and new vineyards as park authorities seek to boost the production of Pompeii wine, which used to be exported across the Mediterranean.

“They entered the site with great enthusiasm and got to work straightaway," said Gabriel Zuchtriegel, the director of the Pompeii archaeological park. “Maintenance is a huge cost, so instead of paying someone to cut the grass, we have sheep eating it, fertilizing it and creating a pastoral landscape that is much more resistant to dry scazons and heavy rainfall.

"Many people think of Pompeii  as an ancient city with lots of houses, but it's actually much more than this,” added Zuchtricgel. “There are huge areas of trees, grass, olive groves and vineyards. And if you look back at photos from 100 years ago in southern Italy, or even in the 1950s, it's astonishing to see the walls around Pompeii,  Paestum and other sites-they didn't have these problems with growing vegetation because every square metre was productively used by these peasant communities.”

Pompeii was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The city's ruins were discovered in the 16th century, with the first excavations beginning in 1748.

In the late 1800s,the archeologist Giuseppe Fiorelli first excavated some of Pompeii's vineyards, which had been beneath 3 metres of ash. Many-were found in the less densely populated eastern side, where people produced wine in their gardens.

28.What's the meaning of the underlined word “trim” in paragraph 1?

A.Cut.

B.Detect.

C.Decorate.

D.Conserve.

29.Why are sheep employed to work in the park?

A.They are high-efficient and dependable.

B.Tbey can fight against some extreme weather.

C.They can boost the wine export around the Mediterranean.

D.They are much more economical and environmentally-friendly.

30.Why was Pompeii not troubled by the growing grass 100 years ago?

A. The land was made full use of by local farmers.

B.The land was covered by the harmful volcanic ash.

C.The land was occupied by houses and olive groves.

D.The land was deserted by the residents in southern Italy.

31.Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A.Pompeii's Grassy Ruins to be Revived by Sheep

B.An Archaeological Park to be Rescued by the Authorities.

C.Southern Italy's Farmland to be Reused with the Help of Sheep.

D.A Novel Initiative to Refresh Ancient Vineyards in the Mediterranean.

Decades of satellite observations have now provided the most detailed view of how

Antarctica continually sheds ice accumulated from snowfall into the ocean.

The new map is based on an ice-tracking technique that is 10 times as precise as methods used for previous Antarctic surveys, researchers reported online July 29 in Geophysical Research Letters. It offers the first comprehensive view of how ice moves across all of Antarctica, including slow-moving icc in the middle of the continent rather than just rapidly melting ice at the coasts.

A glaciologist at the University of California, Irvine, uncovered subtle movements of Antarctic ice with a kind of measurement called InSAR data. By using a satellite to bounce radar signals off a patch of ice, researchers can determine bow quickly that ice is moving toward or away from the satellite. Combining observations of the same spot from different angles reveals the speed and direction of the ice's motion along the ground.

The new map based on satellite radar data reveals  the velocity（速度）of ice flow across Antarctica from areas of high altitude to the coasts. Inland ice moves incredibly slowly-much of it moves along at fewer than 10 meters per year. Closer to the ocean, ice can travel hundreds to thousands of meters per year.

To get multiple vantage points（有利地点）of the same patches of ice，researchers had to cobble together（拼凑）data from about half a dozen satellites launched by Canada， Europe and Japan since the early 1990s. “Each brought a little piece of the puzzle,” says study coauthor Eric Rignot. “A drawback is that it requires a lot more data, namely multiple passes at different angles over the same point on the ground -a problem that was solved by a community of international space agencies,”  added Eric.

The resulting map reveals how ice flows from points of high altitude, known as basin boundaries toward the coast. For 80 percent of Antarctica, the map shows average ice velocity down to about 20 centimeters per year.  That's a major upgrade from previous maps, which relied on ice-tracking techniques with uncertainties of a few meters per year.

32.What can be learned about the new ice flow map?

A. It is of the same preciseness as previous research

B.It provides better weather forecast in the Antarctic.

C.It is a groundbreaking research result in recent years.

D.It gives detailed description of melting ice at the coast.

33.What do we know about the ice flow?

A.The average ice flow speed reaches the highest level.

B.Inland ice travels much slower than ice in coastal area

C.Most of the ice moves from higher places to the ocean.

D.Rapid-melting ice in Antarctica travels in the same direction.

34.How does Irvine and her team conduct their research:.

A.By testing and developing new scientific equipment.

B.By measuring and recording the velocity of ice flow.

C.By collecting and analyzing data from different satellites.

D.By comparing and classifying maps drawn by other researchers.

35.What do Eric's words in paragraph 5 mainly imply?

A.Bettcr observation needs international cooperation.

B.Many puzzles remain to be solved about the satellites.

C.Data-processing technology is the key to the research

D.Western countries take the lead in current ice flow study.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

On Nov.18,1995,Itzhak Perlman, the violinist, came to give a concert on stage at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City.

If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him. He was stricken with polio（小儿麻痹）as a child， and so he has braces on both legs and walks with the aid of two crutches. To see him walk across the stage one step at a time, painfully and slowly, is an awesome sight. Then he sits down, slowly, puts his crutches on the floor, undoes the clasps on his legs, tucks one foot back and extends the other foot forward. Then he bends down and picks up the violin, puts it under his chin, nods to the conductor and proceeds to play.

By now, the audience is used to this practice. They remain silent while he undoes the clasps on his legs. They wait until he is ready to play.

But this time, something went wrong. Just as he finished the first few bars, one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear it snap - it went off like gunfire across the room.

I here was no mistaking what that sound meant.

People who were there that night thought to themselves: “We figured that he would have to get up, put on the clasps again, pick up the crutches and limp his way off stage -to either find another violin or else find another string for this one.”

But he didn't. Instead, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again. The orchestra began, and he played from where he had left off. And he played with such passion and such power and such purity as they had never heard before.

Anyone knows it is impossible to play a symphonic work with just three strings. But that night, he was seen modulating, changing, and recomposing the piece in his head. He was detuning the strings to get new sounds they had never made before.

注意：

1．续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

When he finished, there was an awesome silence in the room.

He has prepared all his life to make music on a violin of four strings.
