Reaching for the stars

Within three years, he won China's top sci-fi award—the Galaxy Awards—twice. Tianrui Shuofu, brought home the Best Online Sci-fi award for his novels, Die On Mars, in 2019 and We Live in Nanjing, in 2021. At only 25 years old, he is already a     1     (lead) figure among China's young generation of sci-fi writers.

Many of these young sci-fi writers started as freelance online writers.     2     did Tianrui Shuofu. Among all kinds of sci-fi writings, Tianrui’s works are famous for     3     (they) hard-core style. There are many details of space engineering,   radio communication and other     4     (technology) in his works.

However, Tianrui Shuofu thinks hard-core is just one style and he might include more themes in his works in the future. “Many argue against each other on     5     is real sci-fi. Some hard-core sci-fi fans look down upon soft sci-fi. But that's just killing the growing Chinese sci-fi,” he said.

    6     (actual), it is cross-boundary writing that has become     7     trend in online sci-fi works by young writers, according to Tianrui Shuofu.     8     (compare) to traditional sci-fi, the themes and elements in today's works have expanded a lot. Popular themes of other online writings such as city life and farming       9     (become) parts of sci-fi works in recent years, too.

“This is a good thing,” Tianrui Shuofu added. “Going cross-boundary means going     10     limits, which helps with writing good stories and helps sci-fi reach more readers.”

6 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Most people can remember important news stories clearly, whether it was the murder of President Kennedy     1     the events of 9/11. But now, psychologists Martin Conway and Catriona Morrison from the University of Leeds are conducting     2     online research project into the power that music has to create “autobiographical memory” of the main events in our lives. Their online study asks people     3    (choose) a song by the Beatles, and describe the memories that they have when they listen     4     it.

Morrison explains that they looked at     5    (difference) age groups and their memories. It’s often     6     (think) that we remember more from the time when we were teenagers, which is called “the reminiscence bump”(怀旧性记忆上涨). This is the time in your life when you form     7    (you) idea of who you really are. For older people who have memories     8    (relate) to the Beatles’ music, the majority of them are of events that occurred in their teenage years. But younger people also had a very strong     9    (respond), and had vivid personal memories from their past.

    10    (ultimate), the project opens up possibilities for using music to engage with people who may have problems with memory. “You could use music to help improve people’s ability to remember,” says Morrison.

7 . Tariq Qaiser, an architect, is trying to protect mangroves (红树林). The trees could save Pakistan’s largest city Karachi, sitting on the Arabian Sea, from climate disaster. He comes to Bundal Island several times a week to document the illegal cutting of mangrove trees. Very often, “you can’t hear a single bird because the chain saws are so loud. The trees are cut down illegally for firewood,” he says, shaking his head. Besides, developers clear the mangroves to make room for new buildings.

Karachi has a hot climate, and its concrete buildings and paved roads make it even hotter. Offshore, there are islands where mangroves grow. They could be the key to slowing climate change. Mangrove forests pull carbon dioxide out of the air, holding four times as much of the planet-warming gas as other forests can. They support diverse ecosystems. As sea levels rise with global warming, the trees could play a big role in protecting coastal cities like Karachi from flooding. Karachi’s mangroves are disappearing. But its numbers are rising in other parts of Pakistan. With replanting efforts, the country has tripled (三倍于) its mangrove coverage over the past 30 years.

Qaiser’s work may have worked. Recently, a court in Karachi declared Bundal Island’s mangroves to be protected forests. But unforested parts of the island remain unprotected, and developers want to build there. City officials say this could provide much-needed housing and bring in billions of dollars. They claim that some of that money could be used to plant mangroves in other parts of Pakistan.

Ecologist Rafiul Haq appreciates Qaiser’s “extraordinary work” educating the public about mangroves. But he wishes Qaiser would look at the bigger picture. Only 7% of Pakistan’s mangroves are in Karachi, Haq says. He thinks it’s wrong “to focus on the losses in 7% of the country while ignoring the success in 93%” of it. But Qaiser believes it’s important to protect every bit.

1. What can we say about Karachi’s mangroves?

4. What does Haq think of Qaiser’s work on Karachi’s mangroves?

A．Fruitful.

9 . Fishers remove more than 77 billion kilograms of wildlife from the sea each year. Scientists fear that continuing to fish at this rate may soon result in a collapse of the world’s fisheries.

Consider the example of the bluefin tuna (蓝鳍金枪鱼), which is known for its delicious meat. High demand for this fish has threatened its population, Today, there are only around one-quarter as many bluefin tuna as there were in 1970.

Since about that time, commercial fishers have caught bluefin tuna using purse seining and longlining. Purse seine fishing uses a net to bring fish together and then trap them by pulling the net’s drawstring. Longlining is a type of fishing in which a very long line of up to 100 kilometers is set and dragged behind a boat. These lines have thousands of baited hooks (诱饵) attached to smaller lines stretching downward.

For fishers, catching so many at once is very profitable. However, over time this type of fishing leaves few fish of a particular species left in the ocean. If a fish population becomes too small, it cannot easily replenish itself, or grow back to or close to its original size.

There are ways to fish sustainably. In many traditional cultures, people have fished sustainably for thousands of years. In the Philippines, for example, the Tagbanua people have traditionally used fishing practices that maintain fish populations. They continue to do so today. They set aside certain areas as protected spots in which fishing is forbidden, When they do fish, these traditional fishers primarily use hook-and-line methods.

Another way to prevent overfishing is to simply stop eating fish and other seafood. Dr. Sylvia Earle, a famous and well-respected marine (海洋的) scientist, has taken that step. She suggests people need to take a break from eating seafood until we learn to maintain healthy fish populations.

“I personally have stop ped eating seafood,” Earle says. “I know that every fish counts at this point.” Fish, she says, are critical to maintaining the health of ocean systems, which in turn “make the planet work.”

1. What is the advantage of purse seining and longlining?

A．They can catch a large number of fish at one time.

B．They trap target species easily.

C．They can be used in rivers and seas.

D．They require very few fishers.

2. What does the underlined word “replenish” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Fill up again.

B．Enjoy very much

C．Show up soon.

D．Change as before.

3. Why does the author mention the Tagbanua people?

A．To recommend their lifestyles.	B．To introduce their traditional cultures.
C．To reveal efficient fishing methods.	D．To explain eco-friendly fishing practices.

4. What is Earle’s attitude towards eating seafood?

A．Supportive.

B．Unclear.

C．Disapproving.

D．Forgiving.
