Three Things to Do Before You Are 18

Are you bored with your daily life? Here are some things you should try before you are 18. ★Learn to swim

Seriously, this is so important that it can save your life. If you can’t swim well, you won’t be able to dowater sports like waterskiing, surfing and diving. Even taking a boat trip will be dangerous for you. Make sure you do it.

★Try at least one kind of team sports

Being a good team player is an important skill in life. You can’t just think of yourself, but have to work well with other people. Other advantages of team sports like basketball, football and baseball are that they keep you fit and healthy, and they are also great fun. Teams usually have a good social life too—you’ll go to lots of parties and make many friends.

★Collect something

One of the best hobbies for under-18s is collecting things. You could collect kinds of stamps, or you could collect things that make you remember what you have done, like cinema tickets for films you have seen or letters from friends. The best way to collect is to have a special album to put your collection in and to write what each thing means to you. That way you won’t forget.

Ancient Dunhuang manuscripts housed abroad have been edited and published by the Institute for Overseas National Literature of Northwest Minzu University since 2006. Up till now, 9 manuscripts kept in the British Library and22 inthe National Library of France have been finished, the institute said on April 24, 2018.

Tens of thousands of valuable ancient documents and cultural relics, discovered in the Mogao Grottos in Dunhuang, Gansu province, were scattered overseas in the early 20th century. Dunhuang manuscripts currently in the British Library and the National Library of France are the most important ancient national documents housed abroad.

Co-edited by Institute for Overseas National Literature of Northwest Minzu University, Shanghai Classics Publishing House, the British Library and the National Library of France, these Dunhuang manuscripts return home in publication form for the first time. The institute is also preparing an online database of the manuscripts.

According to Cai Rang, associate director of the institute, Dunhuang manuscripts scattered overseas in Russia, Britain, France and Japan have rich contents, including Buddhism law, social contract, history,linguisticsand art. The institute has edited and published 31 manuscripts over the past 13 years, but the work has not been finished. It plans to publish 15 from the British Library and over 30 from the National Library of France all together. In addition, it will also publish manuscripts collected by other countries.

“Some manuscripts are hard to read because of the indecipherable words. So we read carefully and understand them by comparing with Buddhism documents handed down from ancient times,” Cai said. “Next, document classification and compilation will be our key work for further research.”

The work done by the institute is helpful to study the history and culture of Tubo(present-day Tibet) during the period of 8th to 11th century and the history of national cultural exchanges at that time.

4. When did so many valuable ancient documents, discovered in the Mogao Grottos, were scattered overseas? A. In the late 19th century. B. In the middle of the 19th century.

C. At the beginning of the 19th century. D. At the beginning of the 20th century. 5. How do the members of the institute understand some manuscripts that are hard to read? A. By using modern technology. B. By asking other famous experts.

C. By comparing them with Buddhism documents. D. By studying the history and culture of Tubo. 6. The possible meaning of the underlined word “linguistics” in paragraph 4 is “______”. A. the scientific study of language

B. the opinion that people have about someone or something C. something that people may have as part of their character

D. a system or method for carrying passengers or goods from one place to another 7. What is the theme of the news report?

A. Dunhuang manuscripts scattered overseas have rich contents. B. China publishes Dunhuang manuscripts housed overseas.

C. High value of ancient documents and cultural relics in Mogao Grottos. D. Prepare an online database of Dunhuang manuscripts housed overseas.

Scientists often compare coral reefs(珊瑚礁) to underwater rainforests, yet unlike the leafy plant base of a forest, corals are animals. The soft creatures are naturally half-transparent and get their brilliant color1 from algae(藻类) living inside them. When corals experience stress from hot temperatures or pollution, theyhaltthe interdependent relationship with algae, typically pushing them out and turning white. Corals are still alive when they are white, but they're at risk and many eventually die, turning dark brown.

Scientists around the world are looking for means to protect and maybe increase corals. One common option is to create more protected areas — essentially national parks in the ocean. Beyond nature preserves, some conservationists are looking to more hands-on methods. One research center in the Florida Keys is exploring a form of natural selection to keep corals remaining. The reef system in the Keys has been hit hard by climate change and pollution, which is especially tough, because corals there help support fisheries worth $ 100 million every year.

To keep the wild ecosystem alive, Erinn Muller, the center's director, and her team are harvesting samples of the corals that survived the environmental stress naturally, keeping them to make them reproduce, and then reattaching them to the reef. They have 46,000 corals on plastic frames under the sea. So far, the center has regrown over 70,000 corals from five different species on damaged reefs.

In The Bahamas, Ross Cunning, a research biologist at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium, focuses on corals with genes that could make them natural candidates for restoration projects. He published a study of two Bahamian reefs, one that survived an extreme 2015 heat wave, and one that didn't. \"We think their ability to deal with these higher temperatures is built into their genes,\" says Cunning. There's evidence of corals evolving more quickly to resist rapidly warming climate. The big question scientists need investigate, adds Gunning, is how much more heat corals can adapt to.

8. What does the underlined word \"halt\" in the first paragraph mean?

A. End. B. Develop. C. Strengthen. D. Weaken.

9. What do Muller and her team do to save corals?

A. Restore the damaged reefs. B. Grow corals by hand underwater. C. Create more protected areas. D. Move corals to unpolluted areas. 10. What do Gunning's words suggest?

A. Many corals have been genetically improved. B. Cooling down the waters is key to rescuing corals.

C. Reasons for corals surviving heat waves are shocking. D. The highest temperature corals can survive is unclear.

11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Relationship between corals and algae B. Efforts made to save corals C. Impact of climate warming on corals D. Survival crisis faced by coral reefs

D

When Jennifer Doudna was in sixth grade, she came home one day to find that her dad had lefta book titled The Double Helix on her bed. She put it aside, thinking it was one of those detective tales she loved.

On a rainy Saturday, she picked up the book. As she sped through the pages, she became fascinated by the drama, which encouraged her to explore nature's wonders. Even though her high school teacher told her that girls didn't become scientists, she decided she would.

She worked with a biologist, Charpentier, to turn a curiosity of nature into an invention—an easy-to-use tool that can edit DNA. Known as Crispr, the tool will transform the human race. James Watson, the author of The Double Helix, later told her it was the most important biological advance: since he and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA.

For this achievement, Doudna and Charpentier were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020. Until now, only five women, beginning with Marie Curie in 1911, had won or shared the Nobel for Chemistry out of 184 award winners. When this year's prize was announced, Dr. Charpentier said it would provide a message specifically to young girls who would like to follow the path of science and to show them that women can also be awarded prizes.

A few decades from now, if it becomes possible and sate to edit DNA, should we allow parents to improve the IQ and physical strength of their kids? Should we let them decide eye color1 ? Skin color1 ? Height? After helping to discover Crispr, Dr. Doudna has become a leader in considering these moral issues. That's the main message we should take from this Nobel: New technologies can be a huge benefit to the human race, but in order to make sure

they are used wisely, it's important for people to understand them. 12. Jennifer Doudna decided to become a scientist because,__________ A. her father pushed her B. a book inspired her

C. her teacher encouraged her D. James Watson motivated her 13. Dr. Doudna was awarded the Nobel Prize because,__________.

A. she wrote the book “The Double Helix\" B. she discovered the structure of DNA C. she is a hardworking woman scientist D. she helped invent a tool for editing DNA 14. According to passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. The two women's success will inspire more girls to be devoted to science. B. Since 1911, there have been 184 people who won the Nobel for chemistry. C. If girls follow the path of science, they will surely achieve their goals. D. Crispr will make a big difference to the human race. 15. Which words can best describe Jennifer Doudna?

A. Determined and responsible. B. Ambitious and humorous. C. Cruel and indifferent. D. Fearless and stubborn. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
