A
The Age f Explratin was a perid when adventurers set ut t find new sea rutes, a pursuit that fundamentally reshaped humanity’s gegraphical understanding f the planet. Here are fur key figures frm different natins whse discveries had a lasting impact.
Meriwether Lewis
Leading the Lewis and Clark Expeditin (航行) (1804-1806), this American
explrer was appinted by President Thmas Jeffersn t map the newly acquired
Luisiana Territry. His team jurneyed frm the Mississippi River t the Pacific,
dcumenting new species and establishing relatins with Native tribes (部落). This jurney pened the American West t settlement, cnnecting the natin frm cast t cast.
Ferdinand Magellan
Sailing fr Spain, this Prtuguese explrer rganized the first expeditin t
encircle the glbe in 1519. Thugh he was killed in the Philippines in 1521, ne f his ships cmpleted the vyage in 1522. This histric jurney prved the wrld was
rund, linked the wrld’s ceans, and revealed the vastness f the Pacific.
James Ck
This British naval captain led three grundbreaking vyages acrss the Pacific in the late 18th century. He mapped the eastern cast f Australia, charted New
Zealand’s castline, and explred numerus Pacific islands. Ck’s accurate
mappings and scientific bservatins greatly expanded Eurpean knwledge f the
Pacific regin and established new cnnectins between Eurpe and the Suth Pacific.
Marc Pl
This Venetian trader traveled the Silk Rad t China in the 13th century,
spending 17 years in Asia. His detailed accunts f Asian cultures, technlgies, and wealth intrduced Eurpeans t a previusly unknwn wrld. His bk, The Travels f Marc Pl, inspired generatins f future explrers and helped bridge the cultural divide between the East and the West.

The technlgy is great. Withut it we wuldn’t have been able t put a man n the mn, explre the cean’s depths r eat micrwave sausages. Cmputers have
revlutinized ur lives and they have the pwer t educate and pass n knwledge. But smetimes this pwer can create mre prblems than it slves.
Every dctr has had t try their best t calm dwn patients wh’ve cme int their surgery waving an Internet print-ut, cnvinced that they have sme rare incurable
disease, say, thrat cancer. The truth is usually far mre rdinary, thugh: they dn’t have thrat cancer, and it’s just that their thrats are swllen. Being a graduate f the Internet “schl” f medicine des nt guarantee accurate self-health-checks.
One day Mrs. Almnd came t my hspital after feeling faint at wrk. While I tk
her bld sample and tried t find ut what was wrng, she said calmly, “I knw
what’s wrng；I’ve gt thrat cancer. I knw there’s nthing yu dctrs can d abut it and I’ve just gt t wait until the day cmes.”
As a matter f rutine I rdered a chest X-ray. I lked at it and the bld results an hur later. Smething wasn’t right. “Did yur lcal dctr d an X-ray?” I asked.
“Oh, I haven’t been t the dctr fr years,” she replied. “I read abut it n a website and the symptms fitted, s I knew that’s what I had.”
Hwever, sme f her symptms, like the severe cugh and weight lss, didn’t fit with it—but she’d just ignred this.
I lked at the X-ray again, and mre tests cnfirmed it wasn’t the cancer but
tuberculsis (肺结核)—smething that mst certainly did need treating, and culd be deadly. She was lucky we caught it when we did.
Mrs. Almnd went pale when I explained she wuld have t be n treatment fr the
next six mnths t ensure that she was fully recvered. It was certainly a lessn fr
her. “I'm s embarrassed ,” she said, shaking her head, as I explained that all the
peple she had cme int clse cntact with wuld have t be fund ut and tested.
She listed up t abut 20, and then I went t my ffice t type up my ntes.
Unexpectedly, the cmputer was nt wrking, s I had t wait until smene frm the IT department came t fix it. Typical. Maybe I shuld have a micrwave sausage
while I waited?
4 ．Mrs. Almnd talked abut her illness calmly because .
A ．she thught she knew it well
B ．she had purchased medicine nline
C ．she graduated frm a medical schl
D ．she had been treated by lcal dctrs

A ．she had distrusted her clse friends
B ．she had caused unnecessary truble
C ．she had t refuse the dctr’s advice
D ．she had t tell the truth t the dctr
7．By mentining the breakdwn f the cmputer, the authr prbably wants t prve

______
A ．it’s a must t take a break at wrk
B ．it’s vital t believe in IT prfessinals

In Myanmar’s Ayeyarwady River, there is a grup f Irrawaddy dlphins that are best-knwn fr giving a special signal — a wave f their tail — right befre the fishers shuld cast nets. They even passed this skill n t their babies.
“This is a pretty rare phenmenn in terms f human and wildlife cperatin. S, we’re nt nly cnserving n a species level, but als n a cultural level,” says Brian Smith, a river dlphin expert. “It’s a lessn t humanity abut ur relatinship with wildlife.”
The Irrawaddy dlphins have anther less-knwn trick: They spit water. It’s nt just fr fun, thugh. They use it t drive fish int tight grups s they’re easier t
catch. Sme scientists even think they might d it t impress a ptential mate.
The Irrawaddy dlphins are ne f the nly six species that can live in
freshwater. But they can als inhabit castal waters — a quality shared by even fewer species. Their range includes parts f castal waters f Suth and Sutheast Asia, as well as three specific rivers: the Mekng in Cambdia, the Mahakam in Indnesia,
and the Ayeyarwady in Myanmar. While the species as a whle is listed as
endangered by the Internatinal Unin fr Cnservatin f Nature (IUCN), the
ppulatins in these three rivers are cnsidered critically endangered, with fewer than 100 individuals estimated in each.
These rivers and castal areas are ften clse t intense human activity, s they face serius threats frm pllutin, habitat lss, cal-carrying ships, and illegal
electr-fishing — a practice in which fishers send electric currents thrugh the water t kill fish. Electr-fishing nt nly dramatically reduces the fish ppulatins that
dlphins rely n, but it can als injure r kill the dlphins.
“Withut urgent actin, these cperative, curius creatures culd disappear frever, much like the Yangtze dlphins, which disappeared frm China’s waters in 2006, despite cnservatin effrts, as well as Mexic’s Vaquita dlphins, dwn t arund 10 individuals,” warns Smith.
8 ．Why d the Irrawaddy dlphins wave their tail?
A ．T drive away the fishers.
B ．T ask the fishers t wrk tgether.
C ．T have fun with the fishers.
D ．T remind the fishers ftheir presence.
9 ．What can be learned abut the Irrawaddy dlphins frm paragraph 4?
A ．Fewer than 300 f them still exist.
B ．Their habitat is limited t three rivers.
C ．They knw hw t drive fish tgether.
D ．They can als survive in castal waters.
10 ．What des the authr intend t d by mentining the electr-fishing?
A ．T call n the gvernment t take actin.
B ．T intrduce the latest fishing methd.
C ．T shw the threats faced by the dlphins.
D ．T explain its effects n fish ppulatins.
11 ．Which is the mst critically endangered species?
A ．The Vaquita dlphins.
B ．The Yangtze dlphins.
C ．The Mekng dlphins.
D ．The Mahakam dlphins.

Kids wh are stars seldm grw up t be tp achievers, a new study reprted in a paper published Thursday in the jurnal Science.
The researchers examined data frm nearly 35,000 adults in tw dzens f
previusly published studies and fund there was just a 10% verlap (重叠) between child prdigies and high-perfrming adults, such as Olympic champins, renwned cmpsers, and Nbel prize winners.
“There are thse yung tp perfrmers wh later becme wrld-class
perfrmers at peak perfrmance age,” said Arne Güllich, c - authr f the paper. “But these are the exceptin, nt the rule.”
The researchers defined peak years as being between ages 20 and 30 fr sprts and chess, and between ages 40 and 50 fr science and music. The findings were
cnsistent acrss varius fields.
The new analysis als challenged ideas that excellence cmes frm hurs f specialized early training, r the “10,000-hur rule” ppularized by Malclm
Gladwell. The rule suggests that a persn needs abut 10,000 hurs f practice t achieve mastery.
“Many peple make decisins fr themselves r their children based n these
ideas, such as starting their child early in a sprt r a musical instrument with the gal f prducing the next Tiger Wds r Y-Y Ma,” said Arne Güllich. “Hwever, ur study indicates that adult wrld-class perfrmers d a range f activities when they
were yung — with fewer practice hurs in their specific discipline but mre time in ther activities.”
Fred Oswald, a psychlgist at Rice University wh wasn’t invlved in the
wrk, said the findings were infrmative, but the implicatins fr advising individuals are unclear. “Hwever, there’s a key takeaway: Encurage kids t pursue a variety f
interests rather than specializing early,” he said. “Evidence suggests that engaging in tw additinal areas t the main discipline is the sweet spt. S it’s unwise t try as many as pssible, like sampling all the instruments in music.”
12 ．Which f the fllwing can replace the underlined wrd “prdigies” in paragraph 2?
A ．Geniuses. B ．Caregivers.
C ．Musicians. D ．Trainees.
13 ．Accrding t Malclm Gladwell, what is the key t mastering a skill?
A ．Talent. B ．Curisity.
C ．Age. D ．Exercise.
14 ．What is a feature f the tp-perfrming adults accrding t the new study?
A ．They usually stand ut in childhd.
B ．They ften have a variety f interests.
C ．They enjy early specialized training.
D ．They set ambitius gals at an early age.
15 ．What might Fred Oswald suggest parents d?
A ．Allw their kids t start specialized training early.
B ．Put tp pririty n a cuple f music instruments.
C ．Encurage their kids t select a cuple f interests.
D ．Sign up their kids fr as many activities as pssible.

A Perfect Friendship
The shining sun reflected in the flwing stream as it jurneyed thrugh the
beautiful Wnderland. In the middle f the rlling field, sat a yung by called
Gerge. He laid ut a picnic t share with his best friend Jack. Gerge was buzzing with excitement. “I’ve brught extra Jaffa cakes just fr yu Jack,” he called ut,
knwing that Jack wuld wlf them dwn (狼吞虎咽) in a secnd.
Gerge didn’t lk like all the ther bys, s n ne wanted t be friends with him. N ne, that was, except fr Jack. Jack knew that Gerge was a true friend, he was kind, creative, brave, funny and had the mst incredible imaginatin. Jack didn’t judge him by his lks, nly by wh he was inside and that was why they had a
perfect friendship.
They spent many days tgether in the Heavens, climbing up trees and splashing
(泼水嬉戏) thrugh the stream. The wd was full f adventure, always ffering new things t find and explre. Their imaginatins ran freely as they battled giants and evil mnkeys.
As the bys splashed each ther in the stream, Gerge wished that the water
wuld wash away his scars. They weren’t just physical scars, they were the scars (疤痕) that hurt s deeply inside. The years f teasing had built up inside him, but as he lked at Jack, the pain eased ff. Finally, there was smene that culd lk beynd his imperfectins and really understand him.
Smetimes, the cl kids wuld wander arund the Wnderland and start
laughing at Gerge, “freak!”, “glad, I dn’t lk like yu!”, “mnster!” “Mre like
‘cruel kids!” Gerge sighed sadly. Luckily, he had Jack by his side, a cmfrt that he wasn’t alne. “Dn’t take any ntice f them”, Jack always encuraged him, “It’s nt their fault that they can’t see the real yu.”
Jack and Gerge’s favurite swing was an ld tyre (轮胎) hanging n a tall ak tree (橡树). They wuld sar (高飞) twards the cluds, always cmpeting t see wh culd g the highest. Nw there was the swinging cmpetitin. Many kids were
gathering arund the ak, arguing abut wh culd set the new recrd fr the highest swing. Jack patted n Gerge’s shulder, saying, “cme n, by. Let’s jin in the
cmpetitin. We can d it just as usual!”
