It’s the year 2140 and two kids ride their surfboards in the heart of Manhattan,near the point where Sixth Avenue meets Broadway.If you are familiar with this junction,you will know it is far from the US’s current coastline.But in Kim Stanley Robinson’s novel New York 2140,Manhattan is flooded after continuous climate change causes the sea level to rise by 15.25m.
Robinson’s 2017 climate fiction novel belongs to a new kind of novel,which tells “the story of the next century”.It might be helping readers across the world comprehend the situation in which we currently find ourselves.
Climate change is an indescribable crisis to make sense of.Drop some poisonous chemicals in a river now and you will see dead fish within days,but what do you witness when you release(释放) carbon dioxide(CO2)
“This is where fiction comes in:it brings the abstract data closer to home by focusing on the faces and stories in these futures.Show readers a detailed account of a climate-changed future,and they have an easier time imagining it,” says Robinson.“Science fiction gets people thinking in a way that another report on climate change doesn’t,” says Shelley Streeby,a professor of Literature and Ethnic Studies at UC San Diego.“It helps people feel not only about what might be coming,but also about the present.It is about taking certain conditions that exist nowadays,extending them into the future and throwing a bunch of characters into their midst.”
In the search to adopt climate change as a topic,writers are doing what they do best:trying to tell a good story.Sometimes they write with a touch of optimism as they negotiate the current crisis.But even with this optimism,these writers want to make sure the world knows they,at least,are paying attention.

Have you ever lost something in a hard-to-reach space,like behind a couch or a cupboard Wouldn’t it be nice to just be able to squeeze in and out New innovations in the field of robotics will soon be able to make this nice idea into a reality.
In a study published on Jan 25 in the science journal Matter,engineers from The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Carnegie Mellon University in the US have developed small robots that can quickly change back and forth from liquid to solid states.
According to the website Mashable,the scientists were inspired by sea cucumbers.They are able to change the stiffness(僵硬度) of their body or reduce the potential for physical damage.The robots in the study were made from gallium(镓),a soft metal with a low melting point of 30℃.The scientists then used changes in the magnetic field to control the magnetic particles inside the gallium material to provide heat.This heat then allowed the robots to change between solid and liquid states as well as to move around.
As the website Tech Xplore pointed out,other similar materials require external heat sources such as heat guns and electrical currents to induce a change of states; but now,the robots can use a heat source inside itself to change states independently.During the robots’ experimental trials,the scientists conducted a number of tests.These tests included having the robots melt into liquid and re-form to escape a prison-like cage.It can remove a foreign object from and deliver medicinal drugs to a model stomach.The robot is also able to build and repair hard-to-reach circuits.The robots’ ability to switch between states of matter allows for a number of possible uses and advancements in different fields,such as the biomedical and circuit assembly(组装) industries.
Still,in the words of senior author Carmel Majidi at Carnegie Mellon University,for now these are all just “proofs of concept” which show the abilities of these new kinds of robots.
5.Why can the robots switch between solid and liquid
A.Because they consist of a unique metal and magnetic particles.
B.Because they can reduce the potential for physical damage.
C.Because they are able to change the stiffness of their body.
D.Because they have external heat sources any time anywhere.
6.What does the underlined word “induce” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Witness. B.Remove. C.Cause. D.Accept.
7.What will be the function of the robot
A.To help scientists inspire sea cucumbers.
B.To put a couch into a hard-to-reach space.
C.To get rid of foreign objects from an organ.
D.To assist people in escaping a prison-like cage.
8.Where is the text probably taken from
A.A health report. B.A science fiction novel.
C.A chemistry textbook. D.A scientific magazine.

(2024·山东德州模拟)
In early August,Hilary Krieger,now 44,was sitting in her parents’ Boston home when her friend accidentally squirted(喷射) himself with an orange slice.She said,“Oh,the orange just orbisculated.” And he said,“It did what?” The two made a five-dollar bet,and Hilary gladly grabbed the family dictionary but found the word “orbisculate” was not in it! Hilary burst into her dad’s study and told him the shocking news.Looking awkward,her father admitted that he had made up the word “orbisculate” as the action that happens “when you dig your spoon into a grapefruit and it squirts juice directly into your eye”.
At first,Hilary was mad.But she quickly came to see her dad’s made-up word as a gift.It speaks to his creativity and the idea that,even when something is painful and annoying,like getting grapefruit juice in your eye,you can laugh and have fun with it.
Hilary’s father Neil Krieger died in April 2020,at age 78.Since the Kriegers couldn’t have a proper funeral,Hilary who now lives in New York,spent a lot of time on the phone talking with friends and family,and the “orbisculate” story kept coming up.
“I began to think ‘orbisculate’ is such a great word; it should be in the dictionary!” says Hilary.She called her younger brother Jonathan,who lives in Boston and runs an online company.Their goal is to put the word to use publicly enough that it has a chance of becoming acceptable.Encouraging people to use “orbisculate” in a wide variety of contexts will leave a compelling(令人信服的) trail of evidence for lexicographers(词典编纂者) to follow.
It has been more than two years since Neil’s death and his children are still struggling from the loss.But their campaign to get their father’s word into the dictionary has helped them win back a little of the joy that has been missing from their lives.“I could picture him being really excited,” Jonathan says.“And not until that day did I know my father had created many ‘words’ that we wouldn’t see in the dictionary.”
1.What made Hilary find “orbisculate” doesn’t exist

The ruins of a huge Maya city have been discovered in Guatemala with the help of the remote sensing technique LiDAR,according to the National Geographic on Thursday.
This breakthrough was possible thanks to LiDAR sensors,which can survey landscapes in 3D by reflecting laser pulses off the ground from unmanned air vehicles and others.LiDAR is exceptionally useful for detecting archeological sites(考古遗址),as it gets through jungles and other features that hold up exploration on the ground.The technique has been the activator(催化剂) of many discoveries in recent years.For instance,major finds at Angkor,Cambodia and Caracol,Belize can explain what it did.
This large lost city envelops sites like Tikal,Holmul,and Witzna—known for their pyramids—but shows that these famous heritage areas are the tip of the iceberg of this lost urban network.
Hidden under the jungles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve,more than 60,000 human-made features—homes,canals,highways,some of which can even reach the modernized standard—have been identified by an international cooperation of researchers headed by the PACUNAM Foundation,a Maya cultural and natural heritage organization.Those have experts rethinking the outlines and complexity of the Maya empire.
These ancient peoples obviously established these imaginative cultures based on their known relics,but the new research has shown that the scale of this lost society is far beyond what experts had imagined.The findings will be explored in an hour-long documentary called Lost Treasures of the Maya Snake Kings,premiering(首映) Tuesday,February 6 on the National Geographic Channel.
“There are entire cities we didn’t know about now showing up in the survey data,” said Francisco Belli,one of the lead archeologists on the project.“There are 20,000 square kilometres more to be explored and there are going to be hundreds of cities there that we don’t know about,and we will push the frontiers,” he added.
5.What can we know about LiDAR
A.It’s a breakthrough in archeology.
B.It’s major equipment in air forces.
C.It was first used in discovering a Maya city.
D.It’s a remote sensing technique using laser pulses.
6.What does the underlined word “Those” in paragraph 4 refer to
A.The jungles of the Reserve. B.The outlines of the Maya empire.
C.The researchers of the organization. D.The man-made projects of the Reserve.
7.Which of the following words can best describe the Maya empire
A.Famous and dangerous. B.Vast and highly developed.
C.Mountainous and aggressive. D.Enormous and traditional.
8.What do archeologists hope to do next
A.Restudy the history of Maya. B.Use the LiDAR sensors as usual.
C.Continue to explore the unknown. D.Study the documentary more carefully.

ChatGPT is an advanced AI chatbot trained by OpenAI which interacts in a conversational way.The dialogue form makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer follow-up questions,admit its mistakes,challenge incorrect premises,and reject improper requests.
It has reached 100 million users just two months after launching,according to analysts.ChatGPT has taken the world by storm since it launched.The AI chatbot answers questions online in text format in a human-like way,and it can also write its responses in different styles,for example,that of a student writing an essay.
GPT technology can help people write code quickly and accurately with the help of natural language.GPT can take a text prompt and generate code that is tailored to the given task.This technology has the potential to cut down development time,as it can generate code quickly and accurately.It can also help reduce the risk of errors,as GPT is capable of generating code that can be tested and used immediately.
Some teachers are worried about how many of their pupils are using it to do their homework and have written to parents warning them about it.Others say they can spot its essay,and there are now tools being released which claim to be able to differentiate(区别) human text from that written by artificial intelligence.
But the cat is out of the bag,and now the International Baccalaureate(国际文凭项目),or IB for short,says its students can take advantage of the tech,just like using a calculator to work out a maths problem,as long as they admit to it by both crediting ChatGPT in the text and adding a reference note at the end.
It’s good news for students,but ChatGPT’s knowledge database only goes up to September 2021,so it’s not very useful on topical subjects,and as it gets its information from the Internet,it can also be inaccurate.
9.What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A.The potential of ChatGPT. B.How to use ChatGPT.
C.The benefits of ChatGPT. D.How to generate code.
10.Why do some teachers write to parents
A.ChatGPT makes academics to be honest.

Sustainability for kids can start with a seed.We put together some ways to involve the whole family in protecting the environment.
Go on a hike.Parental involvement in early childhood education looks different in various settings from preschool to home and to the grocery store. 1 Going on a hike together can be an ideal thing to investigate a local ecosystem,look for signs of the changing season,and gain an overall appreciation of the world outdoors.Plus,by bringing an extra garbage bag and gloves to pick up trash along the way,parents can show kids some educational activities.
Go green for holidays.Make holidays fun while also supporting a green environment for kids.Use LED lights for decorative lighting. 2 Decrease your carbon footprint and purchase holiday gifts from local shops.
3 Parents don’t need an acre of land to teach their children that food doesn’t grow at the grocery store.All they need is sunlight,water and dirt.A windowsill is the perfect spot to grow herbs.A back deck can grow beautiful tomatoes.Plant peach seeds in a small container. 4
Recycle together.Recycling activities for kids can be fun and support family involvement in education at the same time. 5 Then work with them to make something new out of the recycled items,such as making boxes out of recycled cardboard and storage tins out of recycled cans.
A.Plant a “garden”.
B.Don’t buy food from the grocery.
C.Protecting the environment for kids is important.
D.Parents should tell children what they can recycle.
E.And the children can watch a little peach tree grow.
F.Recycle Christmas trees instead of throwing them away.
G.To a child,every setting and every moment can be a teachable one.选择性必修第四册 Unit 3 Sea Exploration

A robot created at Standford University is diving down to shipwrecks(沉船) in a way that humans can’t do.Known as OceanOneK,the robot allows its operators to feel like they’re underwater explorers,too.
OceanOneK resembles(像) a human diver from the front,with arms,hands and eyes that capture the underwater world in full color.The back of the robot has computers and eight multidirectional thrusters(推进器) that help it carefully explore the sites of fragile shipwrecks.When an operator at the ocean’s surface uses controls to direct OceanOneK,the robot’s touch-based feedback system causes the person to feel the water’s resistance.
The idea for OceanOneK came from a desire to study coral reefs in the Red Sea at depths beyond the normal range for divers.While OceanOneK was designed to reach maximum depths of 656 feet,researchers had a new goal:1 kilometer,hence the new name for OceanOneK.The researchers changed the robot’s body by using special foam to increase buoyancy(浮力) and fight the pressure of 1,000 meters more than 100 times what humans experience at sea level.OceanOneK also got two new types of hands and increased arm and head motion.
During OceanOneK’s deep dive in February,team members discovered the robot couldn’t rise when they stopped for a thruster check.Flotations on the communications and power line had collapsed,causing the line to pile on the top of the robot.
OceanOneK’s descent was a success.It dropped off a memorial marker on the seabed that reads,“A robot’s first touch of the deep seafloor—A vast new world for humans to explore.” Khatib,a professor,called the experience an “incredible journey”. “This is the first time that a robot has been capable of going to such a depth,interacting with the environment,and permitting the human operator to feel that environment,” he said.
1.What can we learn about OceanOneK
A.Its eyes are colorful.
B.It functions automatically.
C.It looks like its operator from the front.
D.It is remotely controlled to explore underwater.
2.How does the author develop the third paragraph
A.By listing data. B.By raising questions.
C.By reasoning and analyzing. D.By presenting an argument.
3.What does the underlined word “descent” mean in the last paragraph
A.Successful operation. B.Deep diving.
C.Pressure resistance. D.Flexible exploration.
4.What is a suitable title for the text
A.A Creative Explorer B.The Ambitious Exploration
C.A Self-Driven Seeker—A Robot D.A Deep-Sea Explorer—OceanOneK

A new study found some primates(灵长类) are leaving their tree homes and spending more time on the ground.Led by Timothy Eppley,PhD,scientists studied nearly 50 species of monkeys and lemurs(狐猴) to look at the reason behind these changes.
About 15 years ago,Eppley worked with southern bamboo lemurs,which were known to spend most of their days in the trees,feeding on bamboo leaves.However,he was surprised to find these lemurs were spending most time on the ground and had an incredibly diverse diet.He wondered whether habitat reduction and limited food resource availability were driving them to move to the ground.This inspired him to begin this study.
He reached out to every researcher he could find who may have significant data on primates from Madagascar or the Americas,the two places with almost all tree-dwelling primates.
Eppley examined more than 150,000 hours of data observed on 32 monkey species and 15 lemur species at 68 sites.He found that they spent an average of only 2.5% of their time on the ground each month.But the findings showed some interesting differences.
“As habitats are degraded and the climate worsens,primates that are flexible enough to adapt because of their diverse diets or live in larger groups may be more likely to shift to life on the ground,” Eppley says.“However,other species that rely on fruit diets or live in small groups are less adaptable and are less willing to leave the trees.For these species,we will still need to enforce fast and effective conservation strategies to ensure their survival.”
Although moving to the ground has some advantages in certain situations,primates can face problems when they leave the trees.They can become victims of other animals and diseases.Besides,they will be faced with finding appropriate food resources on the ground,thus having a broad or flexible diet is important.Primates are important seed spreaders within their forest habitats.The loss of primates would lead to negative effects on the ecosystem.
5.Why did Timothy Eppley begin his study
A.To try to make primates more adaptive.
B.To study how monkeys differ from lemurs.
C.To figure out the reason for the loss of bamboo.
D.To find out why primates are turning to the ground.
6.How did Timothy Eppley carry out his research
A.By doing experiments. B.By observing in the wild.
C.By studying collected data. D.By interviewing the locals.
7.Which kind of primates are more likely to come down from trees
A.Those eating diverse diets. B.Those with a large size.
C.Those feeding mainly on fruits. D.Those living in small groups.
8.What will become a concern according to the study
A.Animals will become less adaptive.
B.The forest ecosystem will become worse.
C.More natural habitats will be lost.
D.More animal-related diseases will appear.

Argentinians aren’t known for helping strangers,but young people are leading the way in tough times.
There are thousands of people living on the streets across the capital,and 43% of the country’s population lives in poverty.It’s a reflection of the terrible economic crisis and sky-high inflation(通货膨胀) that’s enveloping the country.Some 600 volunteers are working to fill the void(空白) where government services and the labor market are falling short.These volunteers may not be well off,but they offer whatever they can to lift their neighbors up:a hand,a meal,or simply some of their time.
Generosity of time and affection is generally reserved for family and close friends in Argentina.But there are significant increases in volunteering in times of the greatest crisis.
Researchers found a correlation between volunteering and general satisfaction.Some 23% of respondents who said they volunteered last year indicated Argentina as the best place for them to live,compared to only 14% of non-volunteers.
Carmela Pavesi,an organizer in her mid-20s said,“You don’t need a lot of money or a lot of things,” she said.“With the people you have nearby,wherever you are,you can do something with what you have.”
“Today there are more people living on the streets,more people in need,more people begging for money or help,” said Eduardo Donza,a researcher with the Social Debt Observatory at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Argentina.“If we don’t generate more wealth,if we can’t create more good jobs,we’re never going to come out of this.”
The crisis itself pushes people together,uniting in empathy(共鸣).“Volunteering can’t solve these wider issues on its own.But it seems to me like solidarity has increased.That willingness to help matters,” he added.
1.What do we know about the Argentinians mentioned in paragraph 2
A.They are unwilling to help the poor.
B.They are applying to be volunteers.
C.They are going through hardships.
D.They are leaving their hometown.
2.What can be learnt about volunteering from the respondents
A.It mainly involves the students. B.It brings about life satisfaction.
C.It makes people wealthier. D.It costs a great deal.
3.What does the underlined word “solidarity” in the last paragraph mean
A.Inflation. B.Satisfaction. C.Wealth. D.Unity.

Deveza’s mother was on the waiting list for a kidney transplant(肾移植).Deveza wanted to donate one of her own kidneys—but she was turned down because she might develop the same health problems as her mother in later life.
Deveza came up with a different plan.In 2017,she started the world’s first paired exchange of different organs between living donors,exchanging half her liver(肝) for someone else’s kidney.A case study of the organ exchange has now been published,and the surgeons who were involved are calling for more exchanges like this.“You can imagine the enormous impact for mixed organ extended chains,” says John Roberts,a surgeon at University of California,San Francisco.
Most organ transplants come from people who have died,but there are never enough organs.As most people can manage with just one of their kidneys,people with kidney failure are increasingly receiving donated organs from relatives or friends.If someone wants to donate but their immune(免疫的) system is unsuited,doctors may be able to find pairs of would-be donors who can each give a kidney to the other’s relative.
When Deveza was looking into such chains,she came across research describing the idea of trading a kidney with the only other organ generally taken from a living donor—the liver.She suggested the idea to many hospitals before she finally contacted Roberts,who saw the idea’s potential.
Deveza was assessed to be in good enough health to donate part of her liver.It then took 18 months to find Annie Simmons,in Idaho,whose liver was unsuitable to use as a transplant for her sister with severe liver disease.They drew up a plan:Simmons would donate a kidney to Deveza’s mother,and in return,Deveza would give half her liver to Simmons’ sister.The hospital gave the go-ahead and the four operations took place on the same day successfully.
The team hope that the ground-breaking case will inspire more people to consider doing the same.Roberts says that direct exchanges involving two donors could enable up to thirty extra living-donor liver transplants a year—a ten percent increase.
4.What did Deveza do to save her mother
A.Carrying out a case study. B.Calling for kidney donations.
C.Launching a medical experiment. D.Trading half her liver for a kidney.
5.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A.Patients’ desperation to survive. B.Several sources of organ donation.
C.Current situation of organ transplants. D.Doctors’ efforts to improve organ transplants.
6.What can be inferred about the organ exchange between Deveza and Simmons
A.It discouraged organ donation. B.It brought two families together.
C.It met with widespread approval. D.It produced a desirable outcome.
7.What is the best title for the text
A.My Liver,Your Kidney
B.Mother’s Love,Our Happiness

School is important for children and parents everywhere,and there are a lot who take the education of youth very seriously.Parents want their children to succeed,and a lot of children want to do well in school.A new study,which was done by Brigham Young University,has found that students perform better in school if they go on more cultural field trips.
Field trips have always been seen as fun for students,and they look forward to their chances to get out of the classroom and go somewhere fun.But field trips can be difficult for teachers to plan,because they need to make sure that there is learning and value included.Some have argued about the worth of field trips,and whether they are worth a student missing a whole day out of school.
However,Heidi Erickson,one of the researchers in the study,stated that there is no harm in taking students out of the classroom,even for multiple days throughout the year,as long as they are learning and in an appropriate space.The study had 4th- and 5th-grade students from 15 schools take part in this study.They went on three cultural field trips during the school year,to an art museum,a live theater performance,and a classical concert.Then the researchers looked at their school year compared to students who did not take part and this is where they saw the difference.
The study found that students who went on multiple field trips a year had higher test scores,performed better in class and had a greater cultural responsibility over time when compared to students who did not go on as many field trips.
Although there has been a remarkable decrease in the number of field trips due to various reasons,this new study is showing the true value of field trips,especially when they are considered “cultural”.

Desertification,the process by which fertile (肥沃的) land becomes desert,has severe impacts on food production and is worsened by climate change. 1
Africa’s Great Green Wall is a project to build an 8,000-kilometre-long forest across 11 of the continent’s countries.The project is meant to contain the growing Sahara Desert and fight climate change. 2 They include limited political support,lack of money,weak organizational structures,and not enough consideration for the environment.Just 4 million hectares(公顷) of land have been turned into forest since work on the Green Wall began 15 years ago. 3
First proposed in 2005,the project aims to plant a forest from Senegal on the Atlantic Ocean in western Africa to Eritrea,Ethiopia and Djibouti in the east. 4 It could also reduce levels of climate-related migration in the area and capture hundreds of millions of tons of carbon dioxide from the air.Several countries have struggled to keep up with the demands of the project.
5 Eritrea,Ethiopia,and Sudan have all expanded their efforts.Ethiopia is producing 5.5 billion seedlings leading to thousands of hectares of restored land.Efforts in Eritrea and Sudan have also resulted in nearly 140,000 hectares of newly planted forest.The UN desertification agency says the project will need to plant an average of 8.2 million hectares yearly to reach its goal of 100 million hectares by 2030.
A.But the project faces many problems.
B.That is only 4 percent of the programme’s goal.
C.A quarter of Africa is under threat of food shortage.
D.However,it is difficult to work on the Great Green Wall.
E.Some progress has been made in recent years in the east of the continent.
F.Supporters hope that the project will create millions of green jobs in rural Africa.
G.The UN says up to 45 percent of Africa’s land is impacted by desertification,worse than any other continent.选择性必修第四册 Unit 5 Launching Your Career

At all hours of the day,white-aproned bakers occupy themselves in working in the Hot Bread Kitchen,throwing flour across butcher block tables,filling metal trays with hand-shaped bread,and shifting steaming,fresh bread to cooling shelves.The only bodies at rest in this New York City bakery are pans with bread,waiting to be sent into the oven.The skilled bakers turn out around 25 varieties ranging from classic French baguettes to crisp Armenian lavash crackers which they sell at farmers’ markets and gourmet stores.
But Hot Bread Kitchen is more than a bakery.It’s a nonprofit designed to give foreign-born women the skills and support they need to establish careers in the culinary arts.Overseeing daily operation of the place and often rolling up her own shirtsleeves to involve in is 35-year-old founder and CEO Jessamyn Rodriguez.
By mixing her lifelong passion for society with great food,Rodriguez says she has created her dream job.In 2008,Rodriguez launched the bakery in the small Brooklyn apartment she shared with roommates,hiring two immigrant women as her first bakers.“I was definitely breaking new ground,and we faced a lot of skeptics,” she says of those early days.“But for every person who questioned it,there were five people who were interested in supporting us.” Today,Hot Bread Kitchen employs a staff of 35 and occupies a nearly 5,000-square-foot space in La Marqueta,a public market in East Harlem.
The women who bake and package Hot Bread Kitchen’s offerings range in age from 21 to ing from lands such as Haiti,Nepal,and the Dominican Republic,some have lived in the U.S.for as little as a year.Others,including production manager Antonia Garcia,who is originally from Mexico,have called America home for more than a decade.These women’s diverse homelands are reflected in many of the bakery’s products,like heritage tortillas and the wildly popular m’smen,a buttery bread.
The program has far surpassed Rodriguez’s original hopes.Since its humble beginnings,Hot Bread Kitchen has trained 27 women from 12 countries.They receive paid,on-the-job experience,as well as courses in bakery sciences,and English as part of a year-long training program.

From the time I was a young girl,all I wanted was to play outside.I used the ferns(蕨类植物) in my childhood backyard to raise myself up muddy Pacific Northwest slopes(斜坡),sat by the edge of the property’s wooded stream and imagined it was a winding river.
Hours were spent on horseback,prepared with bags and snacks to ride the same path over and over,always dreaming up a new experience.As an adult,my interests are consistent,though the landscape has shifted.For the last four years,I have had the opportunity to explore our Earth’s most remote cold water locations as an underwater videographer and ocean-focused naturalist,developing an appreciation and understanding for challenging corners of the globe.Though my travels have taken me from Antarctica to the Arctic,it’s the temperate in-between that captivates me.During the last four years,Southeast Alaska,particularly the Inian Islands in its incredible wildness and productivity,has stolen my attention.My name is Alyssa Adler,and I am the Inian Islands Institute’s 2019 Scientist in Residence and National Geographic grant recipient for project Tall Trees in Cold Seas.
The natural beauty of the Inians is pure,but the environment works for it.Massive rushing tides(潮水) flood the Hobbit Hole twice daily,like an angry river.Sometimes I learn some meaningful and useful lessons the hard way.Transportation of extensive dive equipment required the help of people in Ketchikan,Gustavus and other places.These lessons only allow my respect for this region to the full,teaching me how to be successful.I need to learn and understand the power and network of Southeast Alaska,both in the water and out.It’s all worth it to roll into the salty Pacific Ocean,turn on my cameras as I sink to the seafloor,and shine my lights on early spring in the Inian Islands.

9.C [词义猜测题。根据第二段开头的“The food that we have here on ISS has to meet many different requirements.What about variety?”以及后文中“the people that you come across,especially when they are from different cultures”可知,国际空间站中的宇航员拥有不同的文化背景,他们会有不同的习惯,这对别人而言有可能不寻常,因此可以推测,peculiarities的意思应是“不寻常的习惯”。故选C。]
10.A [推理判断题。第三段第二句提到“To compensate the crews,we are allowed to pick one ‘preference’ container which consists of our pick of anything on the U.S.menu list.”,结合“One of the desirable options”可以得知,作者提到tortillas的用意是举例解释宇航员们的“preference container”。故选
