When it comes to the most famous 20th century painters of the United States, Grandma Moses should be mentioned, although she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies. As she once said to herself , “I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me”. No one could have had a more active old age． She was born on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At 12 she left home and was in domestic service until at 27 she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927． Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery (刺绣) pictures as a hobby, but only changed to oils in old age because her hands became too stiff (僵硬的) to sew and she still wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought all that she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930’s and her death, she produced some 2,000 pictures: careful and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for so long, with a wonderful sense of color and form. “I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it” she said． 【1】What can we learn about Moses?

Cowboy or spaceman? A dilemma for a children’s party, perhaps. But also a question for economists, argued Kenneth Boulding, a British economist, in an essay published in 1966. We have run our economies, he warned, like cowboys on the open grassland: taking and using the world’s resources, confident that more lies over the horizon. But the Earth is less a grassland than a spaceship—a closed system, alone in space, carrying limited supplies. We need, said Boulding, an economics that takes seriously the idea of environmental limits. In the half century since his essay, a new movement has responded to his challenge. “Ecological economists”, as they call themselves, want to revolutionise its aims and assumptions. What do they say—and will their ideas achieve lift-off? To its advocators, ecological economics is neither ecology nor economics, but a mix of both. Their starting point is to recognise that the human economy is part of the natural world. Our environment, they note, is both a source of resources and a sink for wastes. But it is ignored in conventional textbooks, where neat diagrams trace the flows between firms, households and the government as though nature did not exist. That is a mistake, say ecological economists. There are two ways our economies can grow, ecological economists point out: through technological change, or through more intensive use of resources. Only the former, they say, is worth having. They are suspicious of GDP, a crude measure which does not take account of resource exhaustion, unpaid work, and countless other factors. In its place they advocate moreholistic(全面的) approaches, such as the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI), a composite index(复合指标) that includes things like the cost of pollution, deforestation and car accidents. While GDP has kept growing, global GPI per person peaked in 1978: by destroying our environment we are making ourselves poorer, not richer. The solution, says Herman Daly, a former World Bank economist and eco-guru, is a “steady-state” economy, where the use of materials and energy is held constant. Mainstream economists are unimpressed. The GPI, they point out, is a subjective measure. And talk of limits to growth has had a bad press since the days of Thomas Malthus, a gloomy 18th century cleric who predicted, wrongly, that overpopulation would lead to famine. Human beings find solutions to some of the most annoying problems. But ecological economists warn against self-satisfaction. In 2009 a paper in Nature, a scientific journal, argued that human activity is already overstepping safe planetary boundaries on issues such as biodiversity(生物多样性) and climate change. That suggests that ecological economists are at least asking some important questions, even if their answers turn out to be wrong. 【1】Kenneth Boulding and the content of his essay at the beginning of this passage are meant to . A.point out how ignorant of nature the cowboys are B.blame human beings for their exploitation of nature C.ask people to take seriously the environment limits D.introduce ecological economists and ecologist economics 【2】According to ecological economists, what is the mistake existing in conventional textbooks? A.Ecology and economics are not mixed together B.Human economy isn’t recognized as parts of nature C.The environment has both resources and wastes D.Diagrams connect firms, households and the government 【3】The comparison between GDP and GPI data in 1978 has warned us that . A.GDP is crude measure that is not worth using B.car accident should by all means include in GDP C.we are gaining material wealth by destroying nature D.resources and energy will one day be totally used up 【4】Which in the following will the author probably agree? A.the aims and assumptions of economics need to be revolutionized B.GDP and GPI should be both accepted by mainstream economists C.Human beings can always find solutions to all the annoying problems D.Ecological economists’ concerns about the world are worth noticing. |

China will have the most 5G connections of any nation by 2025, according to a new study, while Europe will fall behind Korea, the United States and Japan in terms of 5G penetration (渗透) by that year. 5G is the fifth generation of network technology. It is expected to bring unbelievable speeds to Internet users, with some operations running 10 times faster than on 4G networks. 5G is also expected to unlock the potential in a lot of new services, including artificial intelligence, science of robots self-driving cars, and the Internet of things. The GSMA said that China's three major mobile operators--China Unicom, China Mobile, and China Telecom--are already moving ahead with 5G networks. While most nations will have 5G by updating existing foundations, the study noted that China plans to build part of its 5G networks. One of the most distinguishing actors between Chinese mobile operators and those in the rest of the world is the intention to erect the new and independent 5G networks. That is, China is determined to build a completely advanced 5G. The high cost underlines China's seriousness about paying whatever it takes. Korea will lead the world in terms of 5G penetration in 2025, when 66 percent of the nation's total connections will be 5G, according to GSMA. This compares to 50 percent in the US, 49 percent in Japan, 36 percent in China, 30 percent in Europe, and a global average of 18 percent. Out of the five economies leading on 5G, Europe will have the lowest participation in 2025, as the area is moving more slowly in having its 5G networks. 【1】What will 5G bring? A.A completely new pattern for daily life. B.Realizing the potential in many new services. C.Excellent networks and national safety. D.Amazing speeds for public transportation. 【2】What is the future of 5G in China? A.It may be lack of government support. B.It will move forward slowly. C.It will develop rapidly. D.It may fall behind Europe. 【3】Which of the following best explains "erect" underlined in paragraph 4? A.set up B.bring up C.turn up D.pick up 【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.Chinese cannot own 5G in 2025. B.More than half Koreans use 5G in 2025. C.Only five countries will have 5G in 2025. D.Europe will pay little attention to 5G in 2025. |

As a species,ginkgo(银杏）trees, which enjoy a reputation as "The Tree that Time Forgor", have existed relatively unchanged for 200 million years.While scientists have revealed the mysteries of the tree's long life, it won't help humans soon. Scientists in China examined the genetic component of very young ginkgo trees,comparing samples between several hundred and a thousand years old.【1】The scientists also found that, unlike other plants, ginkgo genes with regard to aging do not automatically become active at a certain stage in their life cycle.【2】This explains why old ginkgo trees produce as many seeds as young ones and how they continue to grow wide for as long as they live. Furthermore,ginkgo trees are born with protective biochemical characteristics,in the form of hormones, antioxidants, and bactericides.【3】Also, they have evolved adaptations that enable them to resist pests and climate extremes. 【4】Over time,weather and other factors limit upright growth and cause leaves to die.Yet,even as this aging occurs, the cell-reproducing system of the gingko tree remains active, maintaining healthy growth.Growth typically starts slowing down after 200 years, but the trees remain healthy.Each year, they renew their parts, adding new wood,leaves, roots, and reproductive organs.In theory,gingko trees should live forever.【5】 A.Of course,these trees do age, to some extent. B.Their immune systems were found to be similar. C.That is, ginkgo trees have no genetic program for death. D.All of these strengthen their resistance to diseases and bacteria. E.While they contain minor poison, humans still eat their fruits for health reasons. F.However,ginkgo trees still die from pests,drought,and other damaging events. G.They have survived some greatest catastrophes, such as the extinction of the dinosaurs. |

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。续写的词数应为120左右。 In 1989, fresh out of high school, I was faced with a difficult choice of a career path before college started in three months. In those days in Pakistan（巴基斯坦），there were limited choices: becoming a doctor or an engineer, or entering the financial world after getting a business degree. I wasn't interested in engineering, so that I was left with medicine or business. I couldn't decide. My uncle suggested that I do a work placement（实习工作）to experience it for a month in an international company followed by a month in a hospital. After that, I could make a decision. It seemed like a good idea. I was accepted for a month's placement at a foreign bank in Karachi. I got a feel for how the world of finance worked, made new friends, and generally enjoyed the mostly easy-going work environment. The month passed rapidly, and soon I began working at a leading hospital in Karachi. The experience was quite different. The hospital days started early（at 7 am, compared with 9 am at the bank）, and were filled with endless duties. And the night calls! This was crazy, working all day, through the night, and again in the next day. I began thinking about my two experiences. The bank had offered a more relaxing atmosphere, better working hours and less stress. The hospital had an intense（严肃紧张的）environment, and the studying and training was difficult. It seemed that business was a better choice. Near the end of my month at the hospital, I was driving home after a very busy night call. In front of me was a public bus, with some boys sitting on the top. As the driver weaved through（穿梭）traffic, I could see the boys shaking from side to side. Paragraph 1; Suddenly, a boy fell off the back of the bus. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next day, when I went to hospital to see the boy, all his family got up, with grateful smiles on their faces. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
