21、 When it comes to making television historical documentaries, there are few places and periods that British television audiences have not been taken by presenter Michael Wood. Earlier this year he became the first filmmaker from outside China to make a film about the life and work of poet Du Fu. The Du Fu film, featuring famous British actor Ian McKellen reading his poems, was shown on the BBC and China Central Television, and the reaction was instant and positive.
“It created a lot of interest and feedback in China and got a lot of coverage at the time, which was really touching, because when you go into a foreign culture as an outsider, to make a film about something of theirs, you want to make sure you’ve got it right.” Wood said.
As shown in the documentary, Du Fu’s works are learnt by heart by Chinese school students, but outside the country, he is not that well known. So, there is something Wood is keen to put right.
Stephen Owen, one of his leading translators from Harvard says, “Du Fu should be considered alongside Shakespeare and Dante as people who helped compose the emotional vocabulary of their culture.”
For more than 40 years, China has always held the most fascination for Wood. He first got interested in China when he was at school and picked up a book called Poems of the late Tang by AC Graham. “That book opened a window to a world that I never even dreamed.” he said. In the early 80s, it was the first time he had been to China. “I really enjoyed being with the people, who were so friendly and sociable. I remember coming back from my first long trip there feeling genuinely sad to go home.” Wood said.
Opening up discussion and encouraging cultural links is something Wood also does through his involvement. “We believe in dialogue. We try to promote mutual understanding and respect, and we want to help people in the West understand the culture of China better and to get rid of major areas of misunderstanding.” he said. “I did a series called The Story of England years ago, telling the history of the country over the centuries through the life of one village, and I’d love to try something like that in China.”
【1】What makes the Du Fu film special?
A．Michael Wood’s making the film.
B．Ian Mckellen’s reading Du Fu’s poems.
C．Stephen Owen’s translating Du Fu’s poems.
D．AC Graham’s writing Poems of the late Tang.
【2】What’s people’s attitude towards the Du Fu film?
A．Doubtful.
B．Disappointed.
C．Favorable.
D．Uncaring.
【3】Why are Shakespeare and Dante mentioned in the passage?
A．To highlight Du Fu’s cultural status.
B．To introduce these two poets to people.
C．To explain the reason for making the film.
D．To stress these two poets’ cultural position.
【4】What can be inferred from the passage?
A．The cultural misunderstanding was removed through the film.
B．People outside China know nothing about Chinese poems.
C．Wood had a tough time during his first visit to China.
D．Wood is likely to make a film telling Chinese history.
22、Last Sunday the elephant keeper at London Zoo, Jim Robson, was killed by one of the elephants he loved. This was terrible, and it could be a big problem for the future of London Zoo-and maybe for all of Britain's city zoos. London Zoo said that it would move its three elephants to a wild animal park outside London. Its director-general, Michael Dixon, said, “We are sorry that the elephants are leaving. There have been elephants at London Zoo since 1831.”
London Zoo is not only losing its elephants. The tigers will also leave soon and most of the bears have already gone. Outside the elephant house at London Zoo, a woman called Mary said she hoped the zoo could keep big animals. “This is the only way the young people can see animals without travelling to other countries,” she said.
Zoos are not very good places for animals, but they can help to keep them well. Children can also learn a lot about the animals when they visit zoos.
Another visitor, a man called Alan, was very angry. “If we send them back to the wild they will die. If you take away big animals, people will stop visiting London Zoo. It can survive at the moment, but it won't survive in the future.”
However, Mary Rosevear, director of the Federation of Zoos, believes that city zoos can survive without keeping large animals.
【1】London Zoo has kept elephants ________.
A．since last Sunday
B．for about one hundred years
C．for nearly two hundred years
D．ever since it was built
【2】Zoos are important because ________.
A．they can make a lot of money
B．there are many animals living in them
C．there are some big animals there
D．they can keep animals and help children learn about them
【3】London Zoo might face a big problem because ________.
A．the elephants in the zoo will be killed
B．the elephant may also kill other people
C．it may have fewer visitors in the future
D．no one would like to be an elephant keeper any more
【4】Which of the following is NOT true?
A．Only the elephant will be moved away from the zoo.
B．London Zoo and the public have different ideas about where to keep the big animals.
C．Zoo can help to well keep animals.
D．Some people think that the big animals will die if they are sent to the wild animal park.
23、Meteorites (陨石) can offer clues about what the early solar system was like. But finding them is far from difficult. Now, some scientists are turning to drones (无人机) and machine learning to help spot freshly fallen meteorites much more efficiently. “A team of six people on a meteorite-hunting expedition can search about 200,000 square meters per day,” says Seamus Anderson, a planetary scientist in Australia.
Around 2016, Anderson began toying with the concept of using drones to take pictures of the g round to look for meteorites. That idea blossomed into a Ph.D. project. In 2022, he and his colleagues reported their first successful recovery of a meteorite spotted with a drone. They’ve since found four more meteorites at a different site. Drone-based searches are much faster than the standard search way. “You’re going from about 300 days of human effort down to about a dozen or so,” he says.
Anderson and his workmates have used drones to search for meteorites in remote parts of Western Australia and South Australia. The team is tipped off about a fall site by networks of ground-based cameras that track meteoroids flashing through the Earth’s atmosphere. The researchers have to do a series of fun but difficult work before the hunt. They pack a four-wheel drive vehicle with drone and computer equipment, battery charging stations, generators, fuel, food, camping equipment, tables, chairs and much more. The drive to the fall site can take more than a day, often on rough or nonexistent roads. Anderson says, “You hope you don’t pop a tire.”
After arriving, the team flies its primary drone at an altitude of about 20 meters. Its camera takes an image of the ground once every second, and the scientists download the data every 40 minutes or so when the drone lands to receive fresh batteries. A typical day of flying can net over 10,000 images, which are then divided digitally into 100 million or so smaller sections. Those “tiles”, each 2 meters on a side, are fed into a machine learning algorithm (算法) that has been trained to recognize meteorites based on images of real land rocks which are spray-painted black.
【1】Why do the scientists study meteorites?
A．To spot the planetary course.
B．To promote machine learning.
C．To test the functions of drones.
D．To explore the past of solar system.
【2】What does Anderson say about drone-based searches in paragraph 2?
A．Their barriers.
B．Their causes.
C．Their efficiency.
D．Their concept.
【3】Which words can best describe the preparations of the drone search for meteorites?
A．Fun and light.
B．Smooth and flexible.
C．Difficult and unpleasant.
D．Complicated and tough.
【4】How does the drone process images?
A．By dividing them in half.
B．By storing them for analysis.
C．By combining them into a picture.
D．By linking them with a digital printer.
24、 Exercise may hold the key to youth, according to a study published on Monday which showed people who keep fit are up to nine years biologically younger than those who do not. The findings are the first to show in humans how keeping fit affects the ageing process.
The study of 2,40twins found that a sedentary（久坐的）lifestyle raises the risk of a range of problems from heart disease to cancer and appears to play a key role in the ageing process.
It all appears to boil down to（归结为）the length of structures called telomeres（染色体终 端）---which protect the DNA on the chromosomes（染色体）,the researchers from King's College London wrote in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
Many studies have shown telomeres get shorter over time, suggesting the cells are ageing or dying. The study, which extracted （提取）a DNA sample from their volunteers, found people who exercised more each week had longer telomeres.
Exercise lowers the risk of a range of problems such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer, the researchers said. “It is not just walking around the block. It is really working up a sweat." said Tim Spector, a genetic epidemiologist who led the study, in a telephone interview.
The study found people who exercised energetically 3 hours each week had longer telomeres and they were 9 years biologically younger than people who did under 15 minutes.
Spector's team, who also adjusted for body weight, smoking, economic status and physical activity at work, also said moderate（适度的）exercise for 1-2 hours each week provided a four- year advantage.
Studying twins also provided a unique opportunity to judge the effects of exercise on people with the same or similar genetic make-up. the researchers said.
The reason why exercise has this effect is not clear but the researchers said they believe physical activity somehow defends against the natural process called oxidative stress （氧化应激反应）.which damages and kills cells.
【1】What is the risk of sedentary lifestyle?
A.It can cause diseases.
B.It can make our cells alive.
C.It can lengthen telomeres.
D.It can keep us fit.
【2】What do we know from the text?
A.Exercising can shorten the telomeres.
B.The less exercise, the longer telomeres.
C.Sitting often boils more chromosomes.
D.Telomeres affect human being's ageing.
【3】What can cause ageing according to the last paragraph?
A.Cells with diseases. B.Oxidative stress.
C.Genetic structure. D.Physical activities.
【4】What is the purpose of the text?
A.To introduce some exercise.
B.To show how to do research.
C.To encourage people to exercise.
D.To advise people to lose weight.
