【推荐2】It was a cold, rainy day. My mother and I drove to the mountains. It was dangerous to make the two-hour journey along the highway in such weather. I didn’t want to take the risk. But my mother advised that we go to see something at the top of the mountain.

“How far is it?” I asked. She replied, “About three minutes and I’ll drive you there.”

After ten minutes on the mountain road. I looked at her again. “I thought you said three minutes.” She smiled. “This is a detour (绕行路线).” After that, we parked the car and got out.

Walking along a path, we turned at a corner. The peace and silence of the place began to fill my mind. From the top of the mountain, I saw several fields full of flowers, shining like a carpet (地毯) before us. It looked as if the sun spilled gold down the mountain.

A lot of questions came to my mind. Who created such beauty? Why? How?

As we moved on, we saw a sign that read, “Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking.”

The first answer was, “One Woman, Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain.” The second was. “One at a Time.” The third, “Started in 1971.”

On our way home, I was so shocked by what we had seen. She changed the world. One bulb (一株) at a time. She started almost 50 years ago. It was probably just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it. I said, “Imagine if I had a dream and worked at it, just a little bit every day, what might I have achieved?”

My mother looked at me, smiling. “Start tomorrow,” she said. “Better yet, star today.”

【推荐1】To sum up history in one sentence, it would be "Life gets better — not for everyone all the time, but for most people most of the time." And the reason is energy. Without access to energy, poor people are stuck in the dark and deny all of these benefits and opportunities that come with power. For thousands of years, people burned wood for fuel and their lives were hard. But when we started using coal in the 1800s, life started getting better a lot faster. Pretty soon we had lights, refrigerators, elevators, cars, planes, and all the other things that make up modern life. So if we really want to help the poor, we need to find a way to get them cheap and clean energy.

Millions of the poorest families work as farmers. Changes in climate often mean that their crops won't grow because of too little rain or too much rain. That's particularly unfair because they're the least responsible for emitting (排放) CO2, which is causing the problem in the first place.

Scientists say that to avoid these great long-term changes to the climate, the world must cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80 percent by 2050, and eliminate them entirely by the end of the century. Many scientists agreed that wouldn't be enough. The problem is that CO2 lingers (残留) in the atmosphere for decades.

In 2015, the world emitted 36 billion tons of CO2 to produce energy. Someone may tell you they know how to remove 100 million tons of CO2 per year. That sounds like a lot, but if you do the math 100 million divided by 36 billion you'll see that they're talking about 0.3 percent of the problem.

(P   — world's population; S   — services used by each person; E   — energy to provide service, C —carbon dioxide produced by energy)

As you learned in math class, any number multiplied by zero will equal zero. So if we want to get to zero CO2, then we need to make at least one of the four factors zero. But the world's population(P) is currently 7 billion and expected to increase to 9 billion by 2050. In terms of services used by each person (S), there are a lot of things like food, living, transportation and so on, which means the need of much energy in providing them. Therefore, it is carbon dioxide produced by energy (C) that matters the most in cutting down CO2.

1. The author uses the first paragraph to ________.

A．show what factor matters a lot in people's life

B．list the various life stages that people went through

C．urge people to take a positive attitude to future life

D．prove that people's lifestyles have changed greatly

2. We can replace the underlined word "eliminate" in the third paragraph with "________".

A．escape from

B．take control of

C．get rid of

D．hide from

3. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?

A．Every effort, whether it is great or little, is worth trying.

B．What we can do to handle CO2 is far from enough.

C．In 2015, the world emitted the greatest amount of CO2.

D．It is necessary for people to deal with the big problem step by step.

4. Which of the following can best describe the author?

A．Well-behaved and heroic.	B．Serious and accomplished.
C．Experienced and energetic.	D．Concerned and sympathetic.

【推荐2】More and more people around the world are joining in dangerous sports. Some people climbed the highest mountains; some traveled into unknown parts of the world; some sailed small boats across the largest sea. Now some people begin to look for new excitement.

Bungee jumping (蹦极) and motorcycle racing (摩托车赛) are quite dangerous sports. Bungee jumping only lasts for a few minutes or even seconds. You jump from a high place, about 200 meters above the ground, and there is a rubber band (橡胶带子) tied to your legs. When you jump down, the rubber band pulls you up. About 2,000,000 people around the world have tried bungee jumping.

Why do people join in these dangerous sports? Some scientists say that it is because modern life has become safe and it is not interesting. In the past, people lived in danger. They had to go out and look for food, and life was like a fight but was interesting.

Many people think that there is little excitement in life. They live and work in safe places, buy food in shops, and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill.

【推荐1】The winner of the fifth season of the China Central Television's Chinese Poery Cornference (中国诗词大会) was shown on Feb 9. Peng Min, who has fallen at the final competition twice before, finally won the crown(王冠) for himself.

The competitors are different in age, from teenagers to adults. Peng, 36, an associate senior editor(副主编)of a poetry magazine, is one of the most familiar faces of the show. He can recite around 1,000 poems.

"I want to tell people who have a similar experience that, even though you go through all kinds of misfortune(不幸的)or difficulties, as long as you are brave enough to look up, there will always be a light in the sky to guide you out of the darkness," Peng said in his speech.

【推荐3】Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out.

Sir John Gurdon is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told he was hopeless at science and finished bottom of his class. Now, aged 79, the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell researcher Shinya Yamanaka.

Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity（好奇心）and perseverance can lead.

When he was 15 in 1948, Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject. Gurdon’s high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was “quite ridiculous”.

In spite of his teacher’s criticisms, Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab early and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.

“My own belief is that we will, in the end, understand everything about how cells actually work,” Gurdon said.

In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic（基因的)information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create Dolly the sheep in 1996, the first cloned mammal in the world.

In 2006, Gurdon’s work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample of a person’s skin can be used to create stem cells. Using this technique, doctors can repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack.

“Luck favors the prepared mind,” Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. “Ninety percent of the time things don’t work, but when they do, you have to seize（抓住）the chance. ”

1. Who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine?

A．Only Sir John Gurdon	B．Only Shinya Yamanaka.
C．Sir John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka.	D．Gurdon’s science teacher.

2. What does the underlined word “perseverance” mean?

D．毅力

3. According to the passage, which statement is TRUE?

A．As a boy, Gurdon was told he was hopeful at science.

B．Gurdon ranked first at his high school in biology.

C．The cloned frog was the first cloned mammal in the world.

D．Gurdon’s high school science teacher thought it was nearly impossible for Gurdon to be a scientist.

4. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．Ninety percent of the time things don’t work.	B．Luck favors the prepared mind.
