26、   China's Bao Yongqing has been named the overall winner of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition for 2019, claiming one of the world's top photography awards.

The competition is developed and produced by the Natural History Museum in London. This year's competition, the 55th, drew more than 48,000 entries from 100 countries. The winning entry by Bao, a native of Qinghai province, is titled The Moment. It captures a remarkable standoff between a Tibetan fox and a marmot(土拨鼠), and was taken on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. "Photographically, it is quite simply the perfect moment," said Roz Kidman Cox, the chairwoman of the judging panel. "The expressive intensity of the postures holds you transfixed, and the thread of energy between the raised paws seems to hold the protagonists in perfect balance", Cox said. To have captured such a powerful interaction between a Tibetan fox and a marmot — two species key to the ecology of this high-grassland region — is extraordinary. Museum Director Michael Dixon said the picture captured "nature's ultimate challenge——the battle for survival".

Bao, in a group interview on Wednesday, said of the photo: "It is very difficult and rare to capture this kind of moment, so I knew it was something very special. It took about two or three hours to get this photo. I was watching them for a long time. I have paid attention to this competition for a long time, and my first purpose was to show my image to the world, and secondly to protect the environment and my homeland," he said. " In my hometown, everyone looks after the animals, so when I go home with this award, it will be an encouragement to our people to be more protective of animals and the environment." In addition, the photographer said : "This competition is one of the most important among photographers in China, so I wanted to draw people's attention to animal protection. I hope it will introduce a passion for animals to more people."

The exhibition at the Natural History Museum in Kensington will open on Friday and run through the end of May next year, when it will go on a national and international tour. Entries for next year's competition will be accepted beginning on Oct. 21.

27、   Most of us are taught to pay attention to what is said—the words.Words do provide us with some information,but meanings are derived from so many other sources that it wouldhinder (阻碍)our effectiveness as a partner to a relationship to rely too heavily on words alone.Words are used to describe only a small part of the many ideas we associate with any given message.Sometimes we can gain insight into some of those associations if we listen for more than words.

We don't always say what we mean or mean what we say.Sometimes our words don't mean anything except“I'm letting off some steam, so don't take it seriously.I don't really want you to pay close attention to what I'm saying.Just pay attention to what I'm feeling.”Mostly we mean several things at once.A person wanting to purchase a house says to the current owner,“This step has to be fixed before I'll buy.”The owner says,“It's been like that for years.”Actually,the step hasn't been like that for years,but the unspoken message is:“I don't want to fix it.We put up with it.Why can't you？"The search for a more expansive view of meaning can be developed of examining a message in terms of who said it,when it occurred,the related conditions or situation,and how it was said.

When a message occurs can also reveal associated meaning. Let us assume two couples do exactly the same amount of kissing and arguing.But one couple always kisses after an argument and the other couple always argues after a kiss.The ordering of the behaviors may mean a great deal more than the frequency of the behavior.

We would do well to listen for how messages are presented.The words,“If sure has been nice to have you over,"can be said with emphasis and excitement or ritualistically(例行公事地).The phrase can be said once or repeated several times.And the meanings we associate with the phrase will change accordingly. Sometimes if we say something infrequently it assumes more importance; sometimes the more we say something the less importance it assumes.

【1】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A. Words provide listeners with the most important information.

B. Listeners can gain insight if they listen for words carefully.

C. The comprehension of a message is influenced by a few factors.

D. When messages are presented is of great importance.

【2】What does the underlined sentence“I'm letting off some steam”in Para.2 probably mean?

A. I'm just kidding. B. I'm just calling your attention.

C. I'm saying the opposite. D. I'm giving some important information.

【3】Why shouldn't people rely too much on words alone?

A. Words are used to describe a big part of the many ideas.

B. Words always successfully represent what we say.

C. Listeners may not develop healthy relationships.

D. Listeners will fail to understand the unspoken language.

【4】How does the author develop Para.3?

A. By raising questions. B. By listing data.

C. By giving examples. D. By analyzing causes and effects.

28、The birth of Britain’s first cloned dog has been considered “a waste of money” and scientists said the process raised serious ethical (伦理的) concerns.

Sooam Biotech, a company in Seoul, said it had cloned the puppy, named Mini-Winnie, from a 12-year-old dog belonging to Rebecca Smith, who lives in the west London. She had won a contest run by the company which hoped to sell the service to pet owners for 60,000 pounds a time.

Mini-Winnie was born after scientists took skin cells from Mr Smith’s pet and dropped them into donor eggs to make embryos (胚胎). The puppy must remain in Korea for six months to satisfy British quarantine (检疫) laws.

But researchers warned that while a cloned dog might look similar to its biological parent, it would be a very different animal. “You would have many chances of replicating (复制) your favorite pet by choosing one from Battersea Dogs Home,” said Robin Lovell-Badge, a geneticist at the National Institute for Medical Research in London. Dusko Ilic, a stem cell scientist at King’s College London, said, “It is extremely unlikely that a puppy cloned from a favorite pet will behave in the same way. As time passes by, the differences will be more and more pronounced, especially personality traits. It is an absolute waste of money.”

The cloning process is controversial (有争论的) because the animals are often born with diseases or die soon after birth.

I think, it’s unnecessary to try to clone pets for pet owners. First, it’s really costly. Second, the cloned pet is actually another dog. Third, there are many homeless dogs for people to adopt in shelters. So why not just adopt a dog instead?

【1】What may be the reason for Sooam Biotech’s work on cloning pets?

A．To pay back to society.

B．To make money out of it.

C．To comfort sad pet owners.

D．To win an important contest.

【2】Why doesn’t the cloned dog enter Britain now?

A．Because people in Britain are against it.

B．Because the company is afraid that it will die.

C．Because it needs to stay in Korea for research.

D．Because British quarantine laws don’t allow it.

【3】What can we learn from what Dusko Ilic said in paragraph4?

A．Cloned pets are usually not lovely.

B．Cloned pet can be very disappointing.

C．It’s possible to replicate one’s favorite pet.

D．A pet dog looks similar to its biological parent.

【4】According to Paragraph 5, why is the cloning process controversial?

A．It is costly.

B．It is too difficult.

C．It can spread diseases.

D．The result is unsatisfactory.

29、Looking to have a rest after the working days? Check out to see if the following events are in your area!

A.Join the carnival at Dreamland. B.Enjoy the concerts on the Long Beach.

C.Visit an exhibit at the William Ris Gallery. D.Experience the music festival at Brooklyn.

【2】How much should a mother with her 10-year-old child pay for concerts on the Long Beach?

A.$80. B.$100. C.$160 D.$144.

【3】Which of the following events lasts the shortest time?

A.Northside Festival. B.Solely Women.

C.Broadway Commons Carnival. D.Long Island's Festival.

Driving an electric car 【1】 to the protection of environment, or so the marketing departments of their makers would have you believe. Yet a report which analyzes car emissions presents a rather different picture. A battery-powered car recharged with 【2】 generated by coal-fired power stations, it found, is likely to be more harmful. It could cause more than three times as many deaths from pollution as a 【3】 petrol-driven vehicle.

The study was carried out by the University of Minnesota. The researchers estimated how levels of fine particulate matter (细颗粒物) and ground-level ozone — two important 【4】 of air pollution — would change when a car is powered by different ways.

It was no surprise that electric cars whose batteries were recharged with power from wind, solar or hydro-electric sources came out to be virtually free from harmful 【5】. They were estimated to cause 231 deaths over the course of a year, compared with 878 for petrol cars. Electric cars recharged with power from natural gas-fired stations were also a lot less harmful than petrol-driven ones, with 439 deaths. But if those same electric cars were recharged 【6】 by coal, they would be responsible for over 3,000 deaths.

Biofuels also caused more health problems than petrol. But diesel, which often  【7】 concern about pollution, is slightly cleaner than petrol. This is because the study assumes for all cars that emission-control technologies will be more widely used, especially particulate filters which have a remarkable effect on cleaning diesel 【8】. Diesel cars are also more 【9】 of fuel than petrol-driven ones.

Overall, the study shows that electric cars are cleaner than those traditional vehicles only if the power used to charge then is also clean. That is hardly a surprise, but the 【10】 of the difference is. How green electric cars really are, then, will depend mainly on where they are driven. In France, which obtains more than half of its power from nuclear station, electric cars look like a good bet. In China and some other developing countries, where a large amount of electricity is produced from coal, they may not be so environment- friendly as they are marketed.
