Last June, a violent storm hit Sydney, Australia. It hammered the coastline with waves up to eight meters high that sent water surging up to 50 meters inland.

  The disaster illustrates why we fear the ocean so much. “We love the sea. We live near it and even dream about living under it,“said Emma Johnson, a British ecologist. “But we’re also terrified of it. Almost every culture has a flood myth of some kind.”

   For much of making’s history, the response to this fear has been trying to control the ocean. We build dams and sea walls, trying to tame the wildness of the ocean. Consequently, we have been invading further and further into the marine environment. In China, for example, at least 60 percent of the coastline has been built upon. Such invasions, however, risk doing permanent harm to marine environments. Structures like piers can create shade that reduces algal(海藻类的)growth and makes it easier for invasive species to take root. Bright lights at night, meanwhile, confuse species such as turtles that use light to navigate.

   Then, it is possible for us to co-exist with our oceans? Johnson believes the answer is yes. She says all around the world, people are starting to build with nature, instead of against it.

One way to do this is to design architecture that not only achieves its structural purpose but also provides habitats for the local marine creature. Along the waterside development in Sydney Harbor, a sandstone wall provides seating for humans. It also offers an attractive home for marine life. As a naturally occurring local material, sandstone appears quite familiar to Sydney Harbor’s marine creature. The sea wall has already been colonized by Kelp(巨藻),which is particularly good at improving water quality.

Twelve harbors around the world are now taking part in such “blue engineering.’’ Each of them works with its own unique marine life.

“Every time I drive, I realize how little we know about how marine environments work,” Johnson says. Fortunately, with a mindset(观念)of blue engineering, she feels there is much hope.” I am looking forward to a new era of construction in marine environments.

A. Build walls to keep humans away from the marine creatures

B. Balance the activities between humans and marine species.

C. Improve the quality of the ocean water for marine creatures.

D. Construct more ocean seats for ocean life to colonize and grow.

Time Travel

If you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeare’s play in Elizabethan England?What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you’d voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.

The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine, which was written by H.G.Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of　the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations.　It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that　allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term “time machine”, coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.

But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called“wormholes”,which could be used as shortcuts to other periods．Einstein's theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances．And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship—going at nearly the speed of light．Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task．

Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”．It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born．If the time traveler wasn't born, how would he travel back in time？

And would you really like to visit the future？In H．G．Wells' book,the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs．He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles（触角）．If that's what's in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all．

27．The novel The Time Machine mentioned in Paragraph 2 aims to show___________．

    A．People's interest in time travel 　 B．the special feature of the book

    C．the long history of time travel　   D．the contribution of H．G．Wells

28．Einstein's and Hawking's theories_________．

   A．have similarities in many ways

   B．push the invention of the first spaceship

   C．have proved wrong by some time travelers

   D．suggest the possibility to invent the time machine

29．In Paragraph 4,“grandfather paradox”probably refers to the idea that__________．

A．the traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfather

B．the traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfather

C．the grandfather's death makes the traveler's birth impossible

D．The reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness

30．According to the passage, what is probably the author's attitude towards time travel？

A．Unclear． B．Skeptical． C．Supportive．D．Unconcerned．

Last night, when watched the annual Ten People Who Moved Chinese the Most in the CCTV, I learn some deeds of helping the poor children. It makes me have a firm belief what there are still many kind but generous people around us. It is common believed that many children in the remote mountainous areas of our country have few opportunity to receive education for various reasons.

Parents could also enjoy an easy morning, as it will take less time to choose a set of clothes for the school day.

Getting dressed before school becomes less of a chore when students are limited in their choices, so there shouldn’t be any trouble about choosing an outfit for the day and getting ready quickly. Some students may not like the lack of individuality(个性) with a uniform, but some school dress code policies may offer them the opportunities to show their unique styles.

Kids born in this century probably don’t know ___61__ a “cassette” is. After all, when you have a smartphone/MP3 player, who needs a cassette to listen to music?

And gone with the cassette tapes ___62__ (be) the English word “cassette” itself. ____63___ (certain), our vocabulary is being influenced by the changing world all the time.

A changing vocabulary is ___64___ (confuse) but may also be a good thing. Just imagine, if English hadn’t changed since ___65___ 1940s, we wouldn’t have words to refer ___66___ computers, flash drives or iPads.

But as new words keep coming, old words also disappear from our conversations.

According to The Guardian, examples of words no longer in use include “gosh” and “gee”----polite replacements of “god” and “Jesus”. They were used ___67___ (express) shock, but not any more since religious vocabulary is having a smaller influence in our modern lives. Words like “crossword” and “fax machine” are also less seen now with the ___68__ (disappear) of the actual things that they mean.

But the research also found that not all old-fashioned words are dying. Some stick around. For example, we still use “steering-wheel(方向盘)” today, over 100 years after the first car was invented. It may be a long time ____69___ we’re all used to driverless vehicles.

But who knows, some of the words that you can’t stop ___70___ (say) every day now may soon become part of history, while some may have a long life ahead of them.

     Kites were invenTed in China, where materials ideal for kite building were readily availa­ble. It has been claimed 站(he invention of the famous 5th - century BC Chinese philosophers Mozi and Lu Ban. Earlier kites were used as leaf kites. In 549 AD it was recorded a paper kite was used as a message for a rescue mission. Other uses of kites are listed for me measuring dis­tances , testing the wind, lifting men, signaling, find communication for military operations.

     After its introduction into India, the kite further developed into the fighter kite known as the patang in India where thousands are flown every year on festivals such as Makar Sankranti.

     Kites were known throughout Polynesia,,as  far as New Zealand with the knowledge spread from China along with the people. Anthropomorphic  kites (in the shape of animals) made from cloth and wood were used in religious ceremonies to send prayers to the gods.

       Kites were late to arrive in Europe, although windsock — like banners were known and used by the Romans. Stories of kites were First brought to Europe by Marco Polo towards the end of the 13th century.
