Sound may offer a creative way to take the ocean's temperature. Climate change is steadily warming the seas, which have absorbed about 90 percent of the excess heat trapped by greenhouse gases. This warming contributes to sea-level rise, endangers species and influences weather patterns.
But tracking the warming is tricky. Ship-based observations capture only snapshots in time over a tiny portion of the water. Satellite observations cannot enter very deep below the surface. The most detailed picture of ocean heat comes from Argo, which can drop down to around 6,500feet. But there are only about 4,000 such floats, and they cannot sample deeper parts of the oceans.
In Science, researchers at the California Institute of Technology and the Chinese Academy of Sciences compared the travel speeds of sounds produced by undersea earthquakes to detect ocean warming over wider areas. Because sound travels faster in warmer water, differences in speed can reveal changing temperatures. "They're opening up a whole new area of study," says Princeton University geophysicist Frederik Simons, who was not involved in the research.
Inspired by those early efforts to measure ocean heat with sound, Caltech researcher Wenbo Wu thought to monitor low-frequency sound waves sent out by earthquakes below the seafloor. “I know these earthquakes are very powerful sources, "Wu says, "So why not try to use the earthquakes "”
He and his team tested the idea near Indonesia’s island of Nias, where the IndoAustralian Plate is bumping under the Sunda Plate. The researchers gathered sound data from 4,272 earthquakes of magnitude 3 or greater from 2004 to 2016, and they compared sound wave speeds from quakes that originated in the same spot over the years. By modeling the differences, often just fractions of a second, they found that the ocean near Nias was warming by about 0.08 degree Fahrenheit per decade—more than the 0.047 degree F suggested by Argo’s data. Less than one degree F does not sound large, but it takes considerable heat to warm the entire eastern Indian Ocean.
The new method is promising, says University of Hawaii oceanographer Bruce Howe, who was not involved in the work. Meanwhile Simons and his colleagues are exploring an alternative technique, employing dozens of underwater microphones called hydrophones to catch more earthquake sounds. He notes that finding out the floats’ precise locations will be challenging, however. Overcoming such challenges would fill in important gaps, Wu says, “We really need different methods of gathering the data as much as possible.”

Many older people around the world have at least one common concern: How to get younger people, hooked on their electronic devices, interested in classic art. Take the Monkey King, or Sun Wukong, as an example. The main character in the 16th-century classic novel, Journey to the West, is a romantic figure of bravery and adventure that charmed millions of readers before the appearance of online attractions.
Havoc in Heaven, a new Peking Opera film, attracted the wider public to the glamor of the traditional Chinese performance art, featuring one of the best-known chapters from Journey to the West. This film, expected to create a new channel to promote Peking Opera, includes nearly all the key ingredients of Peking Opera. It covers all the basic techniques, more than 10 classic tunes, and makeup for dozens of facial representations of different figures’ characteristics.
It’s actually a big challenge to combine Peking Opera and film, each of which has its own rhythm, according to Cheng Lu, director of the film, who is adopting a fresh approach to present the traditional art form. One challenge that Cheng and his production team faced is how to balance the new approach with maintaining the fundamentals of the art. The basic principles and performance skills in Peking Opera cannot be changed. For example, performances in Peking Opera often emphasize symbolism over the accurate representation of motion. There are never real horses on stage, and the film reflects that. And when Sun Wukong eats peaches, he merely copies the action of eating without taking a bite.
Some background images on stage, such as a painted waterfall, remain, and a live band was on the set to provide sound for the film, rather than employing the pre-recorded music. “If we change traditions to cater to people’s taste and preference for a regular film, it will no longer be a Peking Opera piece of art,” Cheng said.
On the other hand, some creativity was needed because Cheng and his team did not just want to document a stage puter technology is also applied to achieve some visual effects and to present impossible scenes, such as explosions or the heavenly court floating in the clouds. Also, the filming process leaves no room for actors to make the slightest mistake in front of cameras, such as those that would probably go unnoticed in an opera house.
Peking Opera films played a powerful role in the 1960s and 70s, but their popularity gave way to more diverse entertainment. In recent years, there has been a recovery in the popularity of Peking Opera films. However, the overuse of special effects in many film adaptations of Peking Opera plays has weakened the original charm of the stage performances. The imagination (enabled by the stage) can never be sacrificed for a film’s expression.
1. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To blame young people addicted to electronic devices.
B. To advertise a new Peking Opera film, Havoc in Heaven.
C. To express older people’s concern about the young generation.
D. To arouse readers’ interest in traditional Chinese performance art.
2. What did Director Cheng do while producing the film
A. He made changes to basic performance skills.
B. He made use of symbols and motions equally.
C. He insisted on a band playing music on the scene.
D. He brought onto the stage exact details of real life.
3. What innovation did Cheng’s team make
A. They opposed a rigid recording of the performance.
B. They enriched visual effects with modern technology.
C. They allowed actors to repeat actions before the camera.
D. They adopted real explosion scenes during the shooting.
4. What can we conclude from the last paragraph
A. Imagination is a unique charm of Peking Opera films.
B. Technology makes up for the loss of stage imagination.
C. There is some possibility for a film to replace Peking Opera.
D. The original charm of Peking Opera cannot be sacrificed for films.

On 30 November, the European Commission (EC) revealed a draft "clean energy" package for the period up to 2030. On the surface, these proposals address some of the issues with existing renewable energy policies. But environmental groups who have been analyzing the proposals say that the government will be impotent and won't solve the serious flaws.
The European Union (EU) gets 65 percent of its renewable energy from biofuels- mainly wood, but it is failing to ensure that the bioenergy comes from sustainable sources and results in less emission than burning fossil fuels. Its policies, in some cases, are leading to deforestation, biodiversity loss and putting more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than burning coal.
"lt's almost worse than doing nothing." says Sini Erajaa, the bioenergy policy officer for BirdLife Europe &Central Asia, who describes the changes as greenwashing.
For instance, one proposed change is to apply the EU's sustainability criteria to biomass (生物燃料) used in heat and power plants whose output is 20 megawatts or more. "This means, for instance, that electricity and heat from biomass have to produce at least 80 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels by 2021 and 85 percent less by 2026," states a memo on the revised renewable energy instruction.
You might think this will ensure that burning biomass does not result in higher greenhouse gas emissions than fossil fuel use, but far from it. That statement is misleading because it does not make clear that the EU's method for calculating emissions assumes burning biomass produces no CO2 at all. The assumption is that these emissions don't have to be counted because the growth of plants take in as much CO2 as is emitted when they are burned.
But because the EU doesn't count these emissions, it is claiming carbon reduction for activities that are sometimes increasing emissions.
For instance, the EU is not just burning small bits of wood waste for energy, which can indeed reduce emissions.Whole trees are being cut down for energy and often in an unsustainable way, say campaigners, who want the EU to abandon its drive to use ever more bioenergy, particularly forest bioenergy. "We are not saying bioenergy has no role to play," says Erajaa," But it will have to be smaller."
1. What does the underlined word "impotent" mean in the first paragraph
A. potential B. courageous C. cautious D powerless

A. The EC has performed its duty in reducing carbon emission.
B. The government had better do nothing to reduce carbon emission.
C. The " clean energy" policies are harmful to the atmosphere in a sense.
D. The biofuels that EU gets mainly come from sustainable resources.
3. Why is the revised renewable energy instruction regarded as misleading
A. It assumes plants give out as much CO2 as fossil fuels.
B. The methods for calculating emissions are not reliable.
C. Burning biomass contributes to more CO2 emissions.
D. Plants can cancel out the emissions of burning fuels.
4.We can infer from the last paragraph that______________.
A. protecting trees are more important than bioenergy
B. fallen branches are a good source of clean energy
C. deforestation is, in essence, the side effects of biofuels
D. the drive to use more bioenergy can be continued in a proper way
D
An artificial intelligence that navigates(导航) its environment much like mammals could help solve a mystery about our own internal GPS.
Equipped with virtual versions of specialized brain nerve cells called grid cells, the AI could easily solve and plan new routes through virtual mazes(迷宫). That performance, described online May 9 in Nature,suggests the grid cells(网格细胞 )in animal brains play a critical role in path planning.
“This is a big step forward in understanding our own navigational neural circuitry( 电路),”says Ingmar Kanitscheider, a computational neuroscientist at. The University of Texas at Austin not involved in the work. The discovery that rats track their location with the help of grid cells earned a Norwegian research team the 2014 Nobel Prize in physiology to medicine. Neuroscientists suspected these cells, which have also been found in humans, might help not only give mammals an internal coordinate(协同) system, but also plan direct paths between points.
To test that idea, neuroscientist Caswell Barry at University College London, along with colleagues at Google DeepMind, created an AI that contained virtual nerve cells, or neurons, whose activity resembled that of real grid cells. The researchers trained this AI to navigate virtual mazes by giving the system reward signals when it reached its destination.
The AI bested a human expert player at solving the virtual mazes, and proved savvier than other artificial neural networks in planning ways through mazes larger than those traversed（横穿的） during its training. When a door opened to provide a shortcut through the maze, the new AI took the more direct route. By contrast, AI systems without artificial grid cells ignored the open door and took long the way around.
These findings support the idea that grid cells do more than help mammals locate themselves in time and space;they also help animals plan the most straightforward direction to destinations. AI also appears to be“a very powerful tool" for testing other neuroscience theories, Barry says. He and his colleagues suggest that virtual experiments on artificial neural networks that imitate different regions of the brain may eventually replace some animal testing.
But there are limitations to using AI to study the brain. Because the system is meant to learn on its own,researchers can't tell why the system made a specific decision, says neuroscientist Francesco Savelli at Johns Hopkings University, whose commentary also appears online May 9 in Nature.
1. What is the function of the virtual grid cells
Helping animals adapt to the environment.
Controlling the growth of nerve cells.
Assisting the AI in finding a way-out.
Promoting the cooperation between AI robots.
2. The underlined word“savvier" in Paragraph 5 most probably means

Animal testing on the brain will be reduced in future
C. Humans will be equipped with the virtual grid cells
D. Grid cells are more important than other nerve cells

A. How the AI system works.
B. Ways of AI learning on its own.
C. How effective reward signals will work on a robot.
D. The relationship between different regions of the brain.

NOT that long ago, the world wondered whether clean energy could survive without government support. Now the question is how far it can spread. The number of electric vehicles, which was about 1 million in 2015, last year reached 2 million. In electricity generation, too, trend is with the greens. In the first half of this year wind, solar and hydro generated a record 35% of Germany's power.
Greater success is breeding greater ambition. California is proposing to reach 60% renewable energy by 2030. 176 countries have clean-energy goals. Hawaii, America's most oil-dependent state, has promised to be 100% renewable by the middle of the century and so have 48 poor countries vulnerable to climate change. This week the number of multinationals making a commitment to running their operations on 100% renewable energy rose to 100.
But not every target is helpful. To see why, consider that goal of 100% renewable energy. It makes solving climate change seem easy. In fact, though wind and solar can generate the whole country's electricity some day, renewables still account for less than 8% of the world's total power output. Moreover, cleaning up electricity is only part of the battle. Even though gas-fired heating and cooking can be at least as big a source of greenhouse-gas emissions, renewable heating gets little attention. Transport policy is unpredictable, too. Carmakers may hit their goal of annual sales of 10 million electric vehicles in a decade, but battery-powered road transport, shipping and aviation are dreams. A much-quoted claim that America could rely on wind, solar and hydro alone for its electricity has recently been bitterly criticized by a group of respected academics.
Most importantly, a 100% renewables target confuses means with ends. The priority for the planet is to stop net emissions（净排放量）of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide. Putting too much emphasis on wind, solar and other renewables may block off better carbon-reduction paths. New technologies, such as "direct air capture" systems designed to separate carbon dioxide from the air, may in time prove vital. Likewise, greater energy efficiency could reduce emissions by even more than using renewables would.
1. Why is Germany mentioned in Paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To compare with the USA.
C. To prove the possibility of the 100% renewables target.
D. To provide a successful example of producing clean energy.
2. What picture is described in the beginning of the passage
A. A tough fight against climate change.

In a new blog post for the International Monetary Fund, four researchers presented their findings from a working paper that examines the current relationship between finance and tech as well as its potential future.
Gazing into their crystal ball, the researchers see the possibility of using the data from your browsing, search, and purchase history to create a more accurate mechanism for determining the credit rating of an individual or business. They believe that this approach could result in greater lending to borrowers who would potentially be denied by traditional financial institutions.
At its heart, the paper is trying to wrestle with the dawning notion that the institutional banking system is facing a serious threat from tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Apple. The researchers identify two key areas in which this is true: Tech companies have greater access to soft-information, and messaging platforms can take the place of the physical locations that banks rely on for meeting with customers.
The concept of using your web history to inform credit ratings is framed around the notion that lenders rely on hard-data that might hide the worthiness of a borrower or paint an unnecessarily bad picture during hard times. Citing soft-data points like "the type of browser and hardware used to access the internet, the history of online searches and purchases" that could be included in evaluating a borrower, the researchers believe that when a lender has a closer relationship with the potential client's history, they might be more willing to cut them some slack.
"Banks tend to cushion credit terms for their long-term customers during downturns," the paper's authors write. This is because they have a history and relationship with the customer.
The researchers acknowledge that there will be privacy and policy concerns related to including this kind of soft-data in credit analysis. Getting the soft-data points would probably require companies like Facebook and Apple to loosen up their standards on linking unencrypted information with individual accounts. How they might share information with other institutions would be its own can of worms.
1. What is the approach put forward by the researchers
A. Replacing banks with soft information. B. Lending money by predicting the future.
C. Determining credit ratings by web history.
D. Facing the threat posed by high-tech companies.
2. Why do they advocate the new way of rating the borrower’s credit
A. Traditional finance refuse to lend money.
B. The new approach helps reduce burden on banks.
C. The type of hardware misleads the lender’s judgement.
D. Soft information better reflects the truth than hard data.
3. Which is the closest in meaning with the underlined phrase in Paragraph 4
A. Be less strict. B. Share interests. C. Forgive others’ fault. D. Cut a piece of bread.
4. What do the researchers worry about
A. Banks will break up with customers.
B. High tech companies will be in a mess.
C. Sharing information may cause problems of privacy.
D. Competition between tech companies will be more fierce.

Scientists have designed “transparent(透明的) wood” that could replace conventional glass in windows.
The innovation was developed using wood from the balsa tree, which is native to South and Central America, and claims to be five times more thermally efficient than glass.
The team treated balsa wood in an oxidizing bath that bleaches(漂白) it of nearly all visibility and then penetrated it with PVA - creating a product that is virtually transparent. Unlike traditional glass, the transparent wood can withstand much stronger impacts and will bend or splinter when damaged, instead of shattering(粉碎).
The transparent wood was created by teams at the University of Maryland and University of Colorado, which set out to find a greener alternative to conventional glass – a production that creates 25,000 tons in emissions each year. Along with contributing to greenhouse gases, glass contributes to a loss of energy.
“Residential building windows in particular account for 10–25% of the heat loss due to their poor thermal management capability,” the team wrote in the study.
“Exploring energy efficient window materials is thus highly desirable to address heating costs, energy shortages, and the global impact of climate change associated with increased carbon emissions.”
The team notes that the bonding between PVA and cellulose(纤维素) in the wood, creates a tightly packed structure that allows for more thermal protection and makes it more durable and lighter than glass.
“Switching to transparent wood could prove to be cost efficient as well,” researchers shared in a statement. “It is made from a sustainable, renewable resource with low carbon emissions. It can be produced with existing industrial processing equipment, making its manufacturing an easy prospect.”
1. What does the underlined word “thermally” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Associated with cost. B. Connected with heat.
C. Associated with emissions. D. Connected with structure.
2. What do we know about the “transparent wood”
A. It will shatter when damaged. B. It has replaced traditional glass.
C. It is more durable than glass. D. It contributes to greenhouse gases.
3. Why is the residential building windows mentioned in Paragraph 5
A. To show the disadvantages of conventional glass.
B. To show the efficiency of thermal management.
C. To explain the importance of building designing.
D. To explain the global impact of climate change.
4. What helps the transparent wood in thermal protection
A. Its tightly packed structure. B. Its sustainable, renewable resource.
C. Its easy manufacturing prospect. D. Its industrial processing equipment.

At the start of nearly every doctor’s visit, chances are that you will be asked to get your weight measured. But many conversations around weight have become an obstacle, not a help, in the campaign to make people healthier. Doctors’ recommendations to drop pounds are still extremely common, even though using body size as a one-size-fits-all way can lead to ignorance of the complexity of an individual’ s particular physiology(生理机能).
Many studies have shown heavier people are at higher risk for high blood pressure, diabetes and other diseases. But the big picture is not the whole picture. Researchers have identified some fat people considered to be “metabolically(新陈代谢地) healthy”. However, one interesting report published in 2016 found that unhealthy thin people were twice as likely to get diabetes as healthy fat people. Clearly, although the association between being overweight and disease is very real, individual experience can vary greatly and depends on personal physiology and behavior.
Despite such findings, among the more terrible effects of weight-central health care are the increased shame experienced by the overweight. The well-reported experience of numerous fat people is that doctors often set weight loss without examining them. Research over the past two decades has shown that health professionals have negative attitudes toward fat people. Not only that but doctors’ appointments with fat patients are shorter on average, and some refuse to see these patients at all, as the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported in 2011. Such prejudiced practices keep people from regular annual exams and prevent the detection of serious hidden conditions.
To practice evidence-based medicine, doctors should stop relying on weight alone as an indicator of health and quickly setting out weight loss to treat health diseases. Instead, doctors should focus on behavioral changes to improve health outcomes. People of all sizes are entitled to evidence-based treatments and keep them healthy.
1. What is the underlined phrase “a one-size-fits-all way” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. An alternative way. B. A temporary way.
C. A unique solution. D. A perfect solution.
2. What can be learned from Paragraph 2
Each heavy individual is at higher risk for diseases.
Fat people are considered to be metabolically healthy.
All fat people do not suffer high blood pressure or diabetes.
Thin people were twice as likely to get diabetes as fat ones.
3. How does the author convince us of the effects of weight-central health care
A. By listing figures. B. By quoting opinions.
C. By giving examples. D. By making comparisons.
4. Which can be the best title of this passage
A. Weight Shame. B. Weight Loss, Health gains.
C. Weight Effects. D. Only Weight Is Not Enough.

For years I hadn't known much about gardening. I grew up in the countryside but got hooked on music and drawing and put a great deal of effort into books. As a teenager, the fields beyond my home became a green barrier to the big city I so longed to be part of.I was always full of life,free from worries.
Breaking up with Josh changed everything. I felt so lost and alone. Yet I didn't turn to gardening for recovery straight away. That summer I went to a dozen festivals,danced my way through sleepless weekends and relied on kind friends. But none of them worked for long.
Then one day I walked to the balcony,seeing sunflowers blooming brightly in the wind. They made me realize that plants always carried on. “How small my heartbreak is in the grand scheme of things," I said to myself. I had no idea where I'd end up living, but I could rely on those cycles of growth,decay(衰退）and renewal. There was something enormously comforting in that.
Gradually,the need for green space became a habit that changed my life. When I was staying with friends, I'd hunt out parks. Within a couple of months, I'd signed up as a volunteer at a local community garden and would get there early on Sunday mornings, as if it were my own kind of church.
It's not surprising that being outdoors and surrounding myself with nature helped me through this difficult time. Studies by the Royal College of Physicians have found that gardening can lower blood pressure,relieve anxiety and depression, boost mood,and burn calories.
Fifteen months later, I found a new home,nestled in a patch of south London woodland.I have 30 houseplants in total and my balcony blooms all year around,so it feels like both an oasis（绿洲）and somewhere to think.
Life is still sometimes frustrating.Difficult things still happen. But these days I know how to treat myself: I make sure I go outside, breathe in, look at what's growing, and I always feel better.
1. Which can best describe the author in her teenage years

3. The underlined part in Paragraph 4 probably refers to
A. praying to God in the church
B. the need for green space in life
C. hunting out as many parks as possible
D.the voluntary work in the community garden
4.What does the text focus on
A. Cure of nature.

It goes without saying that many Western wedding customs are completely different from those of Asian cultures. Some are so rooted in history that many Westerners have no idea whether they even exist.
Traditionally,June has been the most popular month for people to get married. One reason is that June 1 was the date of an ancient Roman festival celebrating the marriage of the god Jupiter and his wife Juno.Another reason will likely. astonish you. Centuries ago, taking a bath was not as common as it is today. Some people took a bath only once a year, typically in May. Since June was a time most wedding guests would not be too smelly, that month was preferred.
Another wedding custom is for the bride to "wear something old, something new,something borrowed,and something blue."Having something old is said to protect the newlyweds' future baby, while the new item shows optimism for the future. Meanwhile, something borrowed is meant to bring good luck, and something blue is a promise of being faithful. Lesser known is the fact that the bride is also supposed to have a sixpence in her shoe for prosperity(兴旺）。 Interestingly,in Sweden, brides are given two coins before getting married-one gold from her mother and the other silver from her father-also to put in her shoes. These fascinating customs show just how important certain wedding traditions are in Western cultures.
The concept of the “white wedding”， in which the bride wears a white wedding dress, is a familiar one. It is thought, mistakenly though, that this is a tradition that developed in ancient times and originates from the belief of white being a symbol of purity. Actually, the custom of brides wearing this color dates back less than 200 years and is attributed to the wedding of Queen Victoria. The queen's choice of white for her wedding was unusual for the time as other colors, especially red, were much more common.
After news of Victoria's highly publicized wedding to Prince Albert spread, not just around the United Kingdom,but to other nations including the United States,women began following in her footsteps and wearing white dresses at their wedding ceremonies. With white being the choice of a powerful royal figure like Queen Victoria, the color became associated with wealth. nobility. and the fashion-conscious.

C.Wearing a shoe with a coin in it.
D.Wearing something borrowed.
3.What can we learn from the "white wedding" mentioned in the passage
A. The white wedding dress is a symbol of purity and nobility.
B. Red rather than white was once popular in English weddings.
C.Queen Victoria wore white in the hope of breaking old customs.
D. The custom of the white wedding started thousands of years ago.
4.What might be the best title for the text
A. Routines of marriage ceremonies.
B.Highlights of traditional weddings.
C.Reflecting on old traditions.
D.Exploring western wedding customs.
