Many of them have even gone through what’s called a “dinosaur phase”--- a period of time 37 they can’t stop talking about dinosaurs, can’t 38 without hearing a dinosaur bedtime story, and use a backpack with a dinosaur pattern on it.‎ Adults may have long 39 out of their dinosaur phase, but somehow the appeal is still there.‎ The 40 consists in the success of Steven Spielberg’s 1993 film Jurassic Park, and every following installment(一集) of the series. And in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, which was ‎41 in Chinese mainland cinemas on June 15, these ancient beasts are taking over the 42 world once again.‎ National Geographic has an explanation behind the animals’ 43 : Dinosaurs are “ 44 science and imagination meet”, which is probably what makes them so appealing, to kids and adults alike.‎ ‎ Dinosaurs are often compared to dragons, but are seen as cooler because they’re 45 . The huge skeletons in museums prove their existence millions of years ago on the same Earth that we now live on. 46 , new discoveries have been made in different parts of the world that open up a bigger 47 of these ancient species. And how they went extinct(绝种的) is also a popular subject of 48 studies.‎ However, we still seem to know so little about dinosaurs, and have to rely on our 49 when it 50 to questions like “How did they live?”, “What did they sound like?” and “How fast could they run?”. It’s this sense of mystery that 51 dinosaurs’ attraction compared to other fierce animals like lions and tigers --- animals that can easily be seen in today’s zoos.‎ But there’s more to this dinosaur appeal.‎ According to Guardian reporter Brian Switek, humans are fascinated by dinosaurs not just because we’re interested in their history, but also because we’re trying to have a better understanding of human history.‎ ‎“Dinosaurs 52 be Hollywood monsters, objects of scientific fascination(着迷) and everything 53 , but at the root of it, our fascination with them 54 from wanting to know more about the prehistory we ‎ ‎55 ,” he wrote.[]‎ ‎ “The dinosaur story is part of our own.”‎ ‎36.

This is a job you can do from anywhere—all you need is access to the Internet.‎ Here’s how you get started:‎ ‎1) Go to www.associatedcontent.com/join/hotjobs.‎ ‎2) Follow the instructions to register.‎ ‎3) Follow in your profile (简介)，making note of your previous experience and your areas of experience (if any).‎ ‎4) Start providing articles. You'll begin earning money as soon as your articles are published and the amount is based on the page views it receives.‎ In addition to our own library of content, we have hundreds of partners (Partner Content Team) who work with AC to obtain high-quality. As such, there are lots of opportunities for our most talented and productive writers to accept “Partner Assignments” on an as-needed basis.‎ If you're interested in accepting higher paying Partner Assignments, send us a link to your AC profile once you have provided at least five articles.

Email me: demel@asociatedcontent.com ‎56. You can write for AC on condition that you ____.‎ A. have access to the Internet B. have rich experience in writing C. must be free at home D. must provide at least five articles ‎57. Partner Content Team is mentioned here to____.‎ A. show off its rich library of content B. lay stress on the importance of cooperation C. seek more support from other business partners D. attract more people to write articles for AC B Personally, I love writing reviews of any kind mostly because that way I can put all my thoughts about the subject on the paper. Before we go on, I have to mention it is different when you write a review for yourself ‎ i.e. your blog or website and for your professor in college.‎ To an untrained eye, reviews may seem pointless. What’s the point of writing about something when other people and your professor have already read the book? Isn’t it enough to talk about it in the class?‎ Just as movie reviews develop your critical thinking, book reviews do the same. It is not enough to read a book and call it a day; you have to establish your opinion, your likes, and dislikes. When a professor gives you this assignment, he/she wants to see your abilities to analyze the book and use vocabulary skills to discuss different parts of the plot.‎ Since we are accustomed to writing book reports at a very young age, it comes as no surprise we don’t think book reviews are different than a book report. Contrary to the popular belief, book reviews and book reports are two different types of writing. Knowing how they differ is essential for writing a high-quality paper that will guarantee a good grade.‎ Book reports usually centre around topical details about the author and the plot of the story. On the other hand, a book review is a more complicated approach to understanding and discussing a book. It doesn’t centre around a summary of each section, but you have to carry out a thorough analysis. As you grow and develop as a student, so does your ability to think critically. You don’t just sum up what you’ve just read but analyze every piece of the puzzle in order to show the ability not only to pay attention to detail but also engage thinking critically. Here, you have to be careful that you aren’t, actually, just retelling the story.‎ While book reviews may contain some elements of book reports e.g. author, characters, plot, the emphasis is to provide a more detailed insight, go deeper and elaborate strengths and weaknesses of the book, and discuss the elements of the story.‎ You know the difference between book reports and book reviews, now what? Now you’re ready to begin the assignment. In order to write a thorough book review, you have to pay attention to everything about the book, which is why writing down the information about the author, genre, etc. is strongly advised. That’s why you’ll need a pen and notebook where you can write everything.‎ ‎58. According to the passage, what should be done before starting to write a review?‎ A. Identifying the target reader B. Consulting with your professor C. Developing an interest in reviews.‎ D. Listing all your thoughts on the paper.‎ ‎59. The author shows the importance of a book review mainly by ______. ‎ A. giving a solid example B. making a reasonable assumption C. drawing a valid comparison ‎ D. providing a detailed description ‎60. Where does the fundamental difference between a report and a review lie?‎ A. Objective summary B. Critical comments C. Thorough comprehension D. Personal abilities C The world’s most complex biological computer, made from a group of engineered cells, could one day be implanted into the body to detect diseases and deliver treatments.‎ In an early research in 2012, Martin Fussenegger at ETH Zurish in Switzerland and his colleagues engineered two kidney cells to become a biological circuit(电路，回路) capable of simple mathematics. One of the cells was able to calculate addition: the presence or absence of each of two chemicals would switch on a reaction inside the cell that would make it shine different colors. The other cell worked in the same way but could substract amounts. This kind of biological circuit resembles a simple logic circuit in a computer. In theory, it could be used to indicate the presence of an infectious substance while in fact it failed.‎ Most biological reactions in the body aren’t that simple, though. They rarely rely on “one input and one output”----instead, multiple inputs lead to different outputs. For instance, a high level of calcium in the body in the presence of a specific hormone may suggest one disease, but a high level of calcium along with another hormone might indicate a completely different condition. ‎ To be more practical, biological computers need to be able to perform more complex mathematics. However, it is hard to pack multiple calculations into a single cell. To get around this, Fussenegger and his team have engineered a multi-cellular system, in which different cells each perform a separate calculation and pass on the results to each other.‎ The system has nine cells, each containing a biochemical reaction that responds to three chemical inputs----similar to an AND, NOT and OR system in a traditional electronic circuit. These cells coordinate their activities by releasing chemicals that pass from one cell to the other. Together, they form a fully biological circuit that can respond to multiple inputs.‎ ‎“Although it is not at a stage yet where we can test on animals, we believe it is the most complex biological computer ever assembled,” says Fussenegger. “This work addresses one of the major limitations in synthetic biology (合成生物学)---a lack of programmable devices,” says Angel Goni-Moreno, a synthetic biologist at Newcastle University, UK. He says that Fussenegger’s multicellular approach enables you to programme the circuit and achieve different calculations just by connecting the nine cells in different configurations(设置).‎ In the future, a biological computer like this could be used to monitor more complex medical conditions. For example, it could respond to a rise in calcium, a drop in a hormone and an increase in a biomarker, which together would signal the presence of a specific type of cancer, help diagnose it and alert the user to seek appropriate treatment.‎ ‎61. The underlined word “substract” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______. ‎ A. add up B. take away C. split up D. give away ‎62. What was the progress made in Fusseneger’s early research?‎ A. A biological circuit was implanted in one of kidney cells.‎ B. The indication of infectious substances became a reality.‎ C. Engineered kidney cells could switch on biological reactions.‎ D. Certain cells were made capable of performing mathematics ‎63. What has made Fussenegger’s current multi-cellular system so special?‎ A. It has all the functions of a traditional electronic circuit B. It is programmable and able to perform different mathematics.‎ C. It has successfully packed multiple calculations into a single cell.‎ D. It has been tested through a series of experiments on animals.‎ ‎64. What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. Smart cells indicating various cancers B. Electronic circuit made from multi-cells C. Programmable cells implanted in human bodies D. Biological computer made from human cells D The concept of a “born leader” seems so fanciful（想象的） that it belongs on the cover of a bad business book. But it turns out that born leaders are real, and researchers have discovered a key factor,‎ ‎ which isn’t genes, parents, or peers, but birth order.‎ First-born children are 30 percent more likely to be CEOs or politicians, according to a new paper by several economists, Sandra E. Black at the University of Texas-Austin, and Bjorn Ockert and Erik Gronqvist at Sweden’s Institute for Evaluation of Labor Market and Education Policy. The paper, which only looked at boys, found that first-borns stay in school longer, make more money, have a higher IQ, and even spend more time on homework than on television,‎ The idea that birth order might shape personality goes back at least to the 1920s, when Alfred Adler theorized that first-born children develop a “taste for power” at a young age, since they can dominate their younger siblings（兄弟姐妹）. He went on to say young children are spoiled and become dependent on their parents (the “baby of the family” effect), while middle children, being often in a war for their parents’ attention, are status-conscious and naturally competitive.‎ Obtaining personality from birth may strike you. But Adler’s hypotheses (假说) have held up in numerous studies. In a 2013 paper, “Strategic Parenting, Birth Order and School Performance,” V. Joseph Hotz, a professor of economics at Duke University, and Juan Pantano, a professor of economics at Washington University in St. Louis, used American data to show that school performance declines with birth order.‎ The researchers chalked their findings up to what they called the “reputational model of strategic parenting.” Put simply, parents invest a lot of time in establishing rules for their first child, building a reputation for toughness that they hope will pass down to later children. As a result, first-borns are doubly blessed—having too much of their parents’ attention, and then entrusted to act as the rules enforcer（实施者） of the family, which helps them build intelligence, discipline, and leadership qualities. In the survey, parents report that they consider their older children more successful, and they are less likely to discipline their later-born children for improper behaviors, such as acting up or not doing homework.‎ This new study relies on Swedish data, and it comes to a similar conclusion. First-borns aren’t just healthier or smarter, but also they score higher on “emotional stability, persistence, social outgoingness, willingness to assume responsibility and ability to take the initiative.” Its researchers ruled out genetic factors; in fact, they uncovered evidence that later-born children might be healthier than first-borns.‎ Instead, the differences among siblings had everything to do with family dynamics in the children’s early years. First, having more children means parents can spend less time on each child, and as the parental investment declines, so may IQ.‎ Second, the most important effect, the researchers said, might not be the “strategic parenting” but something more like “strategic brothering.” As siblings compete for their parents’ love (or ice cream, or toys), they occupy certain positions---older siblings demonstrate their competence and power, while younger siblings develop more creative strategies to get attention. This effect seems particularly strong among later-born boys with older brothers. Younger brothers are much more likely to enter “creative” occupations ---like architect, writer, actor, singer, or photographer---if they have older brothers, rather than older sisters. In other words, among young brothers, specialization within the family forecasts specialization in the workforce.‎ There is a considerable implication in this idea that family dynamics during childhood can shape adult personality. Young children are highly sensitive to their environment, in ways that often have lasting effects. ‎ ‎65. First-born children are more likely to be CEOs or politicians because _____.‎ A. they are born to have leadership qualities B. teachers and parents invest more time in educating them C. later-born children need them to set good examples D. they have a lot of practice in bossing around their younger siblings ‎66. What can we learn about Alfred Adler?‎ A. His research was based on American data.‎ B. His hypotheses were applied in many studies.‎ C. He held the idea that first-born children should be independent.‎ D. He thought that children’s personality was affected by birth order.‎ ‎67. According to the 2013 paper, if a child does not behave as well as his elder brother at school, it may be due to the fact that he ______. ‎ A. has a lower IQ and EQ ‎ B. is badly treated by school teachers C. receives less attention from his parents ‎ D. is spoiled too much by other family members ‎68. What are the findings of the new study based on?‎ A. Swedish data on boys. ‎ B. Controlled experiments on children.‎ C. Differences between first-born and later-borns.‎ D. The observation of children’s development across Sweden.‎ ‎69. The new study has found that later-born children ______.‎ A. feel disappointed at their parents’ attitude to them B. are always in a process of self-discovery C. may be more trustworthy and creative D. might be physically strong ‎70. According to the author, ______.‎ A. parents should create a good family environment for their children ‎ B. children should be given equal attention by their parents ‎ C. girls’ development is seldom affected by birth order D. boys should be forbidden to order others around 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题 共35分)‎ 第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)‎ 认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。(注意：每空填1个单词。)‎ For thousands of years, the Yangtze River Basin has nurtured (哺育) countless generations of people in China. With towering mountains, dense (茂密的) forests and beautiful wetlands, the basin is also home to many kinds of wild animals and plants. According to the World Wildlife Fund, it boasts about 350 types of fish, 762 kinds of bird, 280 mammals and over 14,000 different plants. One of the most famous creatures is the baiji, or Yangtze River dolphin, which is described as the “Goddess of the Yangtze” in the Erya (《尔雅》), a Chinese dictionary dating back to 200 BC. The light grey, long-nosed river dolphin first lived in the oceans before settling in the Yangtze River around 20 million years ago. Despite having eyes, it relies on its sonar (声呐) abilities to navigate (导航)‎ ‎ through water, according to China Daily. It’s also a shy creature. That’s why Wang Ding, an expert from the Institute of Hydrobiology at the Chinese‎ ‎Academy of Sciences, compared it to the “girl next door”. “The baiji is very beautiful but difficult to get close to,” Wang told the Guardian. However, the baiji’s cousin, which has the same origin ,the Yangtze finless porpoise (江豚), seems to have a more lively character. Known for its “mischievous” (淘气的) smile and friendliness with humans, the finless porpoise is nicknamed the “water elf (精灵)”. Compared to the friendly porpoise, the snow leopard (雪豹), known as the “king of the snowy mountains”, couldn’t be more different. With sharp teeth, the white-coated big cat has strong limbs (四肢), which help the animal to cover about 10 meters in a single leap(跳跃). Despite the biodiversity in the Yangtze‎ ‎River Basin, however, its creatures are under threat. For example, the baiji was declared “functionally extinct” in 2006. This means that even if there are some of a species still alive, it still may not survive. The finless porpoise was categorized as “critically endangered” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature in 2013, while the snow leopard was listed as “vulnerable (易危的)” in 2017. A major reason for the drop in the number of these creatures is human activity, which is not responsible ,such as hunting and pollution, according to China Daily. “In the past, many people relied on fish farming to make a living,” Huang Zehua, an official from Jingzhou‎, ‎Hubei, told Beijing Review. “Fish farming then was mostly chaotic and disorderly.” Luckily, measures have been taken to protect the Yangtze‎ ‎River Basin. In 2016, China announced the creation of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, involving nine provinces and two municipalities (直辖市). Environmental protection and green development are considered first in the development of the economic belt, according to China Daily. “The Yangtze River is China’s mother river, and it’s our duty to protect it,” said Chinese President Xi Jinping during an inspection tour of Hubei in April, 2017.‎ Saving 71.__________ wildlife China‎’s mother river With rich natural 72.____________, the Yangtze‎ ‎River Basin is home to 73.__________ of wild animals and plants.‎ The animals living in or along the Baiji came from the oceans 20 million years ago, using its ‎ river ‎ sonar to 74.__________ the directions through water.

Audio books are considered a valuable tool. Digital innovation isn’t just changing the way audio books are created, packaged and sold. It’s starting to reshape the way readers consume literature.‎ Like many young people, Tony Chou, a 25-year-old software engineer in Shanghai, never used to read much. He barely cracked a book in college and would read one or two a year on vacation, at most. But in the past year, he’s finished 10 books. He listens to audio in pieces throughout the day on his iPhone during his morning workout, on his 20-minute-trip to work, and while he’s cooking dinner or cleaning up.

Many users have developed a habit of listening to books, which contributes to the rapid expansion of the audio book market.‎ There are a variety of reasons accounting for this trend. First, the great convenience brought about by audio books makes them appealing to many people, as they can enjoy books regardless of time, location or noise level. Besides, audio books are easily available because people are allowed to download audio books free online. Moreover, for those with special needs, such as the blind, audio books are fantastic innovation.‎ Personally, I prefer to read print books. Print books can give you unique experiences that audio books cannot offer. I can read at my own pace, stopping wherever I like to reflect on some enlightening sentences. Furthermore, it’s much easier to quickly find what i want in a print book-especially something like a dictionary.‎ In short, print books are still my first choice.（167 字）‎
