What is classics literature? Classics are the (antique) of the literary world. They are novels, plays and poems  were written a long time ago and were  well-written that people still read them nowadays. They are examples of great writing and wisdom, and even those written centuries ago can still be found in bookshops and libraries today.

Because a lot of classics (write) so long ago, their language characteristics are quite different  those of modern works. This makes them difficult for some people to read, so they are often left to gather dust on shelves. Many people do not read them, because they think classics are old and (bore) and have nothing to do with life today.

However, if this is true, why do we still find these classics in bookshops and libraries? They have not disappeared and still have  place in the world. Why else would many films adapted from them be successful? In 1995, an award-winning film (base) on Jane Austen's novel Emma came out. Three years later, in 1998, a modern (adapt) of Charles Dickens's novel Great Expectations appeared in cinemas. Nobody would bother (make) these classic novels into films if they had nothing to do with contemporary life.

    There is a workman in America who earns as much as a company director. He is Max Quarterman, a thirty-year-old plasterer (泥瓦匠).

    Max lives in an upper middle-class housing estate. His 1 are mostly bank managers, business executives, airline pilots and the 2, but Max's seven-bedroom house — 3 $ 80,000 — is the largest in the area. 4 outside the house are Max's $ 7000 sports car and his wife's Morris Mini. Indoors is a 150 colour TV set and the family's 5 — a circular bath with gold-plated taps. There are also many labour-saving 6 and luxury furniture.

    How can a plasterer 7 all this? The answer, says Max, is hard work. In 8 with another plasterer, Max 9 contract plastering jobs for a firm. The owner of the firm 10 them as human machines, the best and quickest in the 11, who can do as much in two days as 12 two-man team can in two weeks.

    How do they manage it? Not by working overtime. They work a(n) 13 eight-hour day, five days a week. The secret 14 in Max's hod (桶) in which he carries the plaster to the site of the job. Max's is a superhod — it contains double the usual 15 of plaster, and Max, a strong fellow, runs when he carries it. More time is thus 16 to get on with the plastering. Besides, 17 man wastes time smoking, and they 18 their lunch break to a 19 of an hour a day. Now Max earns over $ 800 a week which is four times the average weekly pay in Britain today, and if he gets as 20 as $ 15, it's a disaster.

    Have you heard about "Survival Holidays"? It is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.

    The reason why people like "Survival Holidays" is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. "Survival Holidays" gives them an important change.

    Is "Survival Holidays" a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing (干扰) them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled (控制) by adults, which causes many problems. Children don't know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even slight danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.

    Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in dangerous times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.

Harry, the first camel to arrive in Australia in 1840, was an unlucky beast. He was imported from the Canary Islands by explorer John Horrocks. On an expedition (探险), Horrocks picked up his gun in order to shoot “a beautiful bird to be added to the collection.” Perhaps Harry was an ecologist —- he lurched (突然倾斜), and the gun discharged, shooting Horrocks in the face.

    Horrocks not surprisingly died of his injuries, and his treatments ordered Harry to be shot. The first importation of a camel into Australia came to naught.

    In 1860, 24 camels arrived in Australia to be part of an expedition by explorers Robert O'Hara Burke and William John Wills. It was an unlucky expedition. The pair made one mistake after another, and ended up eating most of their camels, before starving to death.

    Six years later, more than 100 camels and their Afghan minders, arrived in Australia. This time it succeeded and thousands more camels followed.

    Sir Thomas Elder set up the first camel studs (种畜场) in South Australia, while others were set up in Western Australia. This time the camels bred (繁殖) like wildfire. They were used for working, rather than exploring expeditions.

    The imported Afghan cameleers were just as hardy and vital, leading camel trains across the cruel interior (腹地) of Australia, where few dared to go. The camels carried heavy packs of wool and supplies and opened up the desert areas as none had managed to do before. The train that does this crossing today is called The Ghan, in their honor.

    Motorization put these camel trains out of business, and many camels were turned loose. The camels loved Australia, and multiplied in amazing numbers. What is to be done with them?

    Not surprisingly they have become quite a tourist attraction and you can take a camel ride in the desert as the Afghan cameleers once did. But the fact is that camels create quite a problem in areas where they have taken over, as they damage local vegetation, muscle out native animals competing for food, and create chaos when they wander into settled area.

  1. (1) What do we know about Harry?
    A . He caused the death of an explorer. B . He was shot by his owner. C . He was interested in ecology. D . He arrived in Australia by accident.
  2. (2) What does the underlined part "came to naught" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
    A . Started. B . Failed. C . Got limited. D . Got protected.
  3. (3) What's the sixth paragraph mainly about?
    A . Camels' character. B . How camels were imported. C . Camels' contribution to Australia. D . Why camels could survive in Australia.
  4. (4) Which of the following is TRUE about today's camels in Australia?
    A . They are raised in studs. B . They are decreasing in numbers. C . They are causing a lot of trouble. D . They are popular with the locals.
He ate(很多) for supper yesterday, because it was a merry feast.

"What would the world be if there were no hunger?" It's a question that Professor Crystal would ask her students. They found it hard to answer, she wrote later, because imagining something that isn't part of real life—and learning how to make it real—is a rare skill. It is taught to artists and engineers, but much less often to scientists. Crystal set out to change that, and helped to create a global movement. The result一an approach known as systems thinking—is now seen as essential in meeting global challenges.

Systems thinking is crucial to achieving targets such as zero hunger and better nutrition because it requires considering the way in which food is produced, processed, delivered and consumed, and looking at how those things intersect (交叉) with human health, the environment, economics and society. According to systems thinking, changing the food system—or any other network- requires three things to happen. First, researchers need to identify all the players in that system, second, they must work out how they relate to each other, and third, they need to understand and quantify the impact of those relationships on each other and on those outside the system.

Take nutrition. In the latest UN report on global food security, the number of undernourished (营养不良) people in the world has been rising, despite great advances in nutrition science. Tracking of 150 biochemicals in food has been important in revealing the relationships between calories, sugar, fat and the occurrence of common diseases. But using machine learning and artificial intelligence, some scientists propose that human diets consist of at least 26,000 biochemicals—and that the vast majority are not known. This shows that we have some way to travel before achieving the first objective of systems t hinking - which,in this example, is to identify more constituent parts of the nutrition system.

A systems approach to creating change is also built on the assumption that everyone in the system has equal power. But as some researchers find, the food system is not an equal one. A good way to redress (修正) such power imbalance is for more universities to do what Crystal did and teach students how to think using a systems approach.

More researchers, policymakers and representatives from the food industry must learn to look beyond their direct lines of responsibility and adopt a systems approach. Crystal knew that visions alone don't produce results, but concluded that "we'll never produce results that we can't envision".

  1. (1) The author uses the question underlined in Paragraph Ⅰ to     .
    A . illustrate an argument B . highlight an opinion C . introduce the topic D . predict the ending
  2. (2) What can be inferred about the field of nutrition?
    A . The first objective of systems thinking hasn't been achieved. B . The relationships among players have been clarified. C . Machine learning can solve the nutrition problem. D . The impact of nutrition cannot be quantified.
  3. (3) As for systems thinking, which would the author agree with?
    A . It may be used to justify power imbalance. B . It can be applied to tackle challenges. C . It helps to prove why hunger exists. D . It goes beyond human imagination.

Scientists from Imperial College London have found that using virtual reality(VR)headsets can reduce sensitivity to pain, by immersing(沉浸)people in icy Arctic scenery. In a study published in Pain Reports, a team from Imperial used VR video to reduce people's sensitivity to ongoing pain and sharp shooting pain.

According to the researchers, the findings add to the growing evidence for the potential of VR technology to help patients with long-term pain. Beyond the distracting effect, they think VR may actually cause the body's own inbuilt pain-fighting systems to start working.

Dr Sam Hughes, the first author on the paper, said "Our work suggests that VR may be getting involved in processes in the key parts of our inbuilt pain-fighting systems and are helpful in regulating the spread of increased sensitivity to pain.

To test their theory, researchers applied a cream containing capsaicin(辣椒素)-the chemical that makes your mouth bum-to 15 healthy volunteers. The capsaicin makes the skin more sensitive to painful stimuli(刺激)like a very small electric shock.

In the first trial, participants were then asked to rate the pain caused by the capsaicin cream on a scale of 0-100 (from 'no pain' to 'worst pain possible' )while either watching a VR scene of Arctic exploration through a headset, or looking at a still image of an Arctic scene on a monitor. Under the same conditions, they were also asked to say when a stimulus applied directly to the skin area is considered as painful.

The team found that ongoing pain was reduced following VR immersion, and that sensitivity to painful stimuli was also reduced. However, the same effect was not seen in people who looked at still images of the polar environment.

They explain that while the findings made at the beginning are encouraging, the study is limited by the small number of healthy participants, without long-term pain. However, the researchers believe VR could hold a bright future to treat patients with long-term pain who have poor inbuilt pain fighting systems.

  1. (1) How can VR possibly help long-term pain sufferers?
    A . By making their pain-fighting systems function. B . By drawing their attention to fighting pain. C . By controlling the spread of pain sensitivity. D . By slowing down their brains' reaction to pain.
  2. (2) Which step comes first in their theory testing?
    A . Making a capsaicin cream. B . Putting on virtual reality headsets. C . Applying capsaicin cream to the skin. D . Looking at pictures on a computer screen.
  3. (3) What conclusion can be drawn from the trial?
    A . Still images helped to ease people's pain. B . VR immersion was the key factor in pain reduction. C . Healthy people were less sensitive to VR than pain sufferers. D . Capsaicin cream brought people more pain than electronic stimulus.
  4. (4) What does the last paragraph imply?
    A . The team feels confident about future VR treatment. B . The researchers will work on the side effect of VR. C . VR treatment can be applied in other medical fields. D . The trial only has an effect on short-term pain patient

    Once upon a time, there was a tortoise(乌龟) on a ship. Unluckily, the ship went down one day. Some time later the tortoise successfully swam to a land. There was nothing to eat on the land. All the sides of the land were water except for the east. The east side led up to a big mountain. To survive, the tortoise decided to climb to the top of the mountain. He hoped that he would be able to cross to the other side.

When he got to the top of the mountain, he found the top was covered with snow. He felt cold, and then a big wind started. Finally, he found a small path leading down the other side of the mountain. But the path was stopped by a big monster(魔鬼). It kept shouting.

“Uuh uuh uuh !”

This made the tortoise feel feared. But, looking around him, he saw that many other animals were lying in the snow, with looks of fear on their faces. So the tortoise made up his mind to keep moving down the path towards the monster. The closer the tortoise got, the bigger the monster became. Then, when he was almost upon it, the tortoise realized the monster was only a great rock. The “Uuh uuh uuh” was just the sound of the wind.
