Since their beautiful baby daughter Ella came into their lives, James and Ola Jordan's home has undergone a transformation in the past nine months. The designer marble coffee table has lost pride of place to a playpen. "Everything is about Ella, and that is how we always wanted it to be," says adoring mum Ola. "Our home was quite stylish before she came along; now there are toys everywhere. I can't remember the life we had without her. Ella has taken over our home —and our hearts." The former Strictly Come Dancing professionals, who married in 2002, had longed to be parents and considered themselves blessed when Ella was born during the outbreak of coronavirus after their years of medical treatment and attempts. James tells us: "People say how this time of year becomes special again when you see it through the eyes of a child. I get that. Already she loves the Christmas lights and the tree, although she isn't going to understand what it's all about.” There is no doubt that Ella is the couple's most precious gift ---and the icing on Christmas cake for James will be the moment she says "Dada". "We all keep saying it to her, she is not having any of it," laughs 43-year-old James. "It's just 'Mama, Mama... '"says Jam: “Ola knew that I would always be a big part of bringing up our little girl. And likewise, I always knew Ola was going to be a great mum, and very hands on." Having James around so much has been a bonus for Ola, four years younger than James. "It has just been us and our baby so I feel lucky that James has been here. But I have missed not being able to meet up with other new mums and swap advice." "Ella is yet to meet another baby, and we will arrange another room for the new family member," says James. “but at least she is lucky that she has a really funny dad. She is always laughing and is such a happy little girl." 【1】Their home was _______before they were blessed with Ella.

B.Ella doesn't want any playmate. C.James doesn't like Ella now. D.He is simply making a joke. 【4】The story mainly tells us that______. A.spare the rod and spoil the child B.a wife 's health is a man's wealth C.parents are over the moon about a baby D.all the glory comes from mothers |

Sound may offer a creative way to take the ocean's temperature. Climate change is steadily warming the seas, which have absorbed about 90 percent of the excess heat trapped by greenhouse gases. This warming contributes to sea-level rise, endangers species and influences weather patterns. But tracking the warming is tricky. Ship-based observations capture only snapshots in time over a tiny portion of the water. Satellite observations cannot enter very deep below the surface. The most detailed picture of ocean heat comes from Argo, which can drop down to around 6,500feet. But there are only about 4,000 such floats, and they cannot sample deeper parts of the oceans. In Science, researchers at the California Institute of Technology and the Chinese Academy of Sciences compared the travel speeds of sounds produced by undersea earthquakes to detect ocean warming over wider areas. Because sound travels faster in warmer water, differences in speed can reveal changing temperatures. "They're opening up a whole new area of study," says Princeton University geophysicist Frederik Simons, who was not involved in the research. Inspired by those early efforts to measure ocean heat with sound, Caltech researcher Wenbo Wu thought to monitor low-frequency sound waves sent out by earthquakes below the seafloor. “I know these earthquakes are very powerful sources, "Wu says, "So why not try to use the earthquakes?"” He and his team tested the idea near Indonesia’s island of Nias, where the IndoAustralian Plate is bumping under the Sunda Plate. The researchers gathered sound data from 4,272 earthquakes of magnitude 3 or greater from 2004 to 2016, and they compared sound wave speeds from quakes that originated in the same spot over the years. By modeling the differences, often just fractions of a second, they found that the ocean near Nias was warming by about 0.08 degree Fahrenheit per decade—more than the 0.047 degree F suggested by Argo’s data. Less than one degree F does not sound large, but it takes considerable heat to warm the entire eastern Indian Ocean. The new method is promising, says University of Hawaii oceanographer Bruce Howe, who was not involved in the work. Meanwhile Simons and his colleagues are exploring an alternative technique, employing dozens of underwater microphones called hydrophones to catch more earthquake sounds. He notes that finding out the floats’ precise locations will be challenging, however. Overcoming such challenges would fill in important gaps, Wu says, “We really need different methods of gathering the data as much as possible.” 【1】What do people do to take ocean’s temperature? A.Ships sail across all the oceans to take photos. B.Satellites are used to provide data on ocean heat. C.Argo enters the deepest seas for detailed pictures. D.The numbers of floats hit a record high for samples. 【2】Why can sound be a method for detecting ocean warming? A.Because its speed varies with the temperature of water. B.Because it accompanies earthquakes below the seafloor. C.Because it is approved by Chinese and US researchers. D.Because its value has been proved by previous efforts. 【3】What is the similarity between the researches by Wu and Simons? A.They use hydrophones as floats. B.They exchange their data with Argo. C.They meet the same trouble at work. D.They employ new research methods. 【4】What can be the best title for the passage？ A.Undersea earthquakes B.Climate and seas C.Sound and ocean heat D.New method found |

Many older people around the world have at least one common concern: How to get younger people, hooked on their electronic devices, interested in classic art. Take the Monkey King, or Sun Wukong, as an example. The main character in the 16th-century classic novel, Journey to the West, is a romantic figure of bravery and adventure that charmed millions of readers before the appearance of online attractions. Havoc in Heaven, a new Peking Opera film, attracted the wider public to the glamor of the traditional Chinese performance art, featuring one of the best-known chapters from Journey to the West. This film, expected to create a new channel to promote Peking Opera, includes nearly all the key ingredients of Peking Opera. It covers all the basic techniques, more than 10 classic tunes, and makeup for dozens of facial representations of different figures’ characteristics. It’s actually a big challenge to combine Peking Opera and film, each of which has its own rhythm, according to Cheng Lu, director of the film, who is adopting a fresh approach to present the traditional art form. One challenge that Cheng and his production team faced is how to balance the new approach with maintaining the fundamentals of the art. The basic principles and performance skills in Peking Opera cannot be changed. For example, performances in Peking Opera often emphasize symbolism over the accurate representation of motion. There are never real horses on stage, and the film reflects that. And when Sun Wukong eats peaches, he merely copies the action of eating without taking a bite. Some background images on stage, such as a painted waterfall, remain, and a live band was on the set to provide sound for the film, rather than employing the pre-recorded music. “If we change traditions to cater to people’s taste and preference for a regular film, it will no longer be a Peking Opera piece of art,” Cheng said. On the other hand, some creativity was needed because Cheng and his team did not just want to document a stage performance. Computer technology is also applied to achieve some visual effects and to present impossible scenes, such as explosions or the heavenly court floating in the clouds. Also, the filming process leaves no room for actors to make the slightest mistake in front of cameras, such as those that would probably go unnoticed in an opera house. Peking Opera films played a powerful role in the 1960s and 70s, but their popularity gave way to more diverse entertainment. In recent years, there has been a recovery in the popularity of Peking Opera films. However, the overuse of special effects in many film adaptations of Peking Opera plays has weakened the original charm of the stage performances. The imagination (enabled by the stage) can never be sacrificed for a film’s expression. 【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A.To blame young people addicted to electronic devices. B.To advertise a new Peking Opera film, Havoc in Heaven. C.To express older people’s concern about the young generation. D.To arouse readers’ interest in traditional Chinese performance art. 【2】What did Director Cheng do while producing the film? A.He made changes to basic performance skills. B.He made use of symbols and motions equally. C.He insisted on a band playing music on the scene. D.He brought onto the stage exact details of real life. 【3】What innovation did Cheng’s team make? A.They opposed a rigid recording of the performance. B.They enriched visual effects with modern technology. C.They allowed actors to repeat actions before the camera. D.They adopted real explosion scenes during the shooting. 【4】What can we conclude from the last paragraph? A.Imagination is a unique charm of Peking Opera films. B.Technology makes up for the loss of stage imagination. C.There is some possibility for a film to replace Peking Opera. D.The original charm of Peking Opera cannot be sacrificed for films. |

A dog snoring away the afternoon on the living room floor. Walruses napping belly-up on a beach. Lions stretching out on the grassland. These sleepy scenes may make people wonder why these other mammals（哺乳动物）seem to be getting so much more sleep than humans. Do they actually need more sleep? Are they just sleeping because they can? 【1】 Be prepared for a surprising and fascinating answer to these questions: 【2】 Though constantly studied, sleep is one of the great mysteries modern science hasn’t completely cracked. “We really don’t know what sleep is for,” said Dr. David Raizen. 【3】 Across many studies of mammalian sleep, scientists have observed that less sleep is connected with larger body sizes. A reason for this may be that the larger an animal is, the more calories it needs, and the more time it needs to spend eating. However, the matter is far from settled. 【4】 Some differences in observed sleep might not be what they seem. Just because a house cat sleeps for 18 hours a day doesn’t mean it needs all that sleep to function, Raizen said. Some sleep is probably a matter of convenience — done when it’s not safe for an animal to be out, when food availability is low or simply because there’s nothing else to do. As for human sleep? Raizen said the most important thing is for people to listen to their bodies and get as much sleep as they feel they need. 【5】 A.Nobody knows. B.Should humans be sleeping more, too? C.More efforts are being put in interpreting sleep better. D.Scientists are doing research trying to find the answer. E.Sleep is complex, hard to measure in wild animals and even harder to interpret. F.One idea is that sleep in mammals has something to do with body size and diet. G.It is about eight hours for most folks but might be as few as five and as many as eleven. |

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 It was January 24th. I had finally completed my last radiation treatment. It had been a long journey—eight months in total since my initial diagnosis of breast cancer—and I had been looking forward to this day for a very long time. My husband Casey, who was wearing a pink ribbon on his jacket, was waiting for me in the lobby at Sunnybrook hospital in Toronto. As a symbol to raise people’s awareness of breast cancer, the pink ribbon had become a part of our life. On the way back home, we reflected on the past months and discussed what lay ahead for our family. We arrived home in time to have dinner with our three children—Tyler, elven, Brady, nine, and Eve, six. The kids greeted me with hugs that I think were a little bit tighter and lasted a little bit longer than usual. We were heading to the skating rink (溜冰场) that night. My son Brady had a hockey game and if his Tiger team won, they would move onto the next round. As a typical Canadian hockey mom, I had always loved going to the rink to watch my kids play. But since my diagnosis, the rink and the Tiger players had come to mean even more to me: it was my happy time in those painful months. When we arrived at the rink, we were greeted with warm hellos. You could tell it was a big game as there was a large crowd of Tiger parents gathering in the lobby outside the dressing room. About ten minutes before game time, Brady’s coach came out to the lobby and invited all the parents to come into the dressing room. 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。 Paragraph1: As I stepped inside, I was struck by how quiet and how pink it was. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I sensed their determination. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
