1、 阅读理解AI recently spent two years in the Arctic filming the series Blue Planet. I love being in an environment that hasnt changed for 20,000 years. Of course its freezing, but it must be a healthy place because you never catch colds.When Im filming, I like to really feel how lonely the environment is
2、. Filming underwater involves cutting through thick ice and diving in tied to a line. The person at the other end has to be ready to pull you out fast if necessary.Originally I was a research diver for the British Antarctic Survey project, but for me science lacked excitement. Id always enjoyed phot
3、ography, and whenever camera teams passed through, they encouraged me to watch and learn. I was then able to move into filming in 1985 and have concentrated on Arctic and Antarctic wildlife ever since.I prefer to be faced with the animals Im filming. I havent got in the water with killer whales yet,
4、 but I plan to. Of course, its dangerous if you choose the wrong moment. Theyre big animals and can move fast, so Id be stupid to film them searching for food!Ive never had problems with polar bears, although once I was frightened when one tried to get into my tent. Polar bears are bold, clever and
5、dangerous. But I made this one see I wasnt about to attack it - Im sure it realised I wouldnt hurt it.When I come home back from my trips, I work in the mornings and spend the afternoons swimming to keep fit. Now Im fifty, filming is harder. The challenge for me is to continue to deliver high-qualit

9、r might come back.C. The bear seemed to know the writer wasnt a danger.D. The animal was much more afraid than the writer was.BPeople tend to become more personal and hide less of themselves when using email. Researchers from Open University in Britain have found in a recent study that there are goo
10、d reasons for this.The team of researchers asked 83 pairs of students, all strangers to each other, to solve a problem. They had to discuss this question: If only five people in the world could be saved from a world disaster, who should they be? The pairs of students had to talk over the problem eit
11、her face to face or by computers. Dr. Johnson said, “They told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the Internet as when they talked face to face. When the computers were fitted with cameras so that students could see each other, this limited the personal side of
12、the conversation.”Generally the information was not extremely personal. It was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where they used to live. But some students discussed their love stories, and personal childhood experiences.Dr Johnson believes that emailing encourages people to
13、focus on themselves. And when they do this, they become more open, especially if there are no cameras. “If you cannot see the other person, it becomes easier to talk about yourself. This is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of you. So emailing has become the modern way o
14、f talking,” said Dr. Johnson. However, this style of talking is not entirely new. “In the 19th century people started to use the telegraph to communicate. Now the same kind of thing has happened and people ended up speaking more freely.”Dr. Johnson thinks that emailers need to know about these effec
15、ts of emailing, especially when they start work in a company. “ If you dont know about it, you could find yourself saying more about yourself than you wanted to.”60. The subject discussed in this passage is _.A. how people open up when emailingB. how people do research studiesC. how to communicate a
16、t workD. how to discuss and solve a problem61. The reason that some couples talked freely about themselves is that _.A. they didnt talk about very personal things B. they couldnt see each other C. the cameras on the computers were turned on D. they had to discuss a question62. What does the underlin
17、ed sentence refer to?A. The telegraph.B. The computer.C. Emailing.D. Face-to-face talk.63. In the writers opinion, one should _.A. focus on oneself when emailingB. talk more freely in emails than usualC. discuss any subject that one wants toD. consider how one uses email at workCIn our culture, the
18、sources of what we call a sense of “mastery” feeling important and worthwhileand the sources of what we call a sense of “pleasure”finding life enjoyableare not always the same. Women often are told “You cant have it all.” Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: “You choose a career, so you c
19、ant expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life.” or “You have a wonderful husband and childrenwhats all this about wanting a career?” But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves.Our study shows that, for women, well-b
20、eing has two aspects. One is mastery, which includes self-respect, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. Mastery is closely related to the “doing” side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other aspect, and it is made up of happiness, satisfaction and
21、 optimism. It is tied more closely to the “feeling” side of life. The two are independent of each other. A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa（反之亦然）. For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and i
22、n control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and correct past mistakes. In the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all wel
23、l-being. But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important. And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work. In our study, all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed.A womans well-being is developed when she takes on mul
24、tiple（多项的）roles. At least by middle adulthood, the women who were involved in a combination of rolesmarriages, motherhood, and employmentwere the highest in well-being, in spite of warnings about stress and strain.64. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _.A. for women, a sense of “maste
25、ry” is more important than a sense of “pleasure”B. for women, a sense of “pleasure” is more important than a sense of “mastery”C. women cant have a sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasure” at the same timeD. a sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasure” are both necessary to women65. The author
26、s attitude towards women having a career is_.A. negativeB. positiveC. neutral（中立的）D. realistic66. One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles,_.A. it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strainB. she will be more successful in her careerC. her chances of
27、getting promoted will be greaterD. her life will be richer and more meaningful67. Which of the following can be considered as a source of “pleasure” for women?A. Family lifeB. Multiple roles in societyC. Regular employmentD. Freedom from anxietyDPart IIf you are hunting a chance to improve yourself

38、trapped 13 miners, who had not been heard from since the early morning accident.Meanwhile, at a nearby church, more than 250 family members and friends gathered, waiting for updates（最新报道）on the rescuers progress.The miners were trapped at about 6:30 and many families werent informed of the accident
39、until about 10 a.m-more than three hours after it happened. “Its very upsetting, but youve got to be patient, I guess,” said John Helms, whose brother, Terry, was trapped in the mine.The trapped miners were about 260 feet underground and about 10,000 feet from the Sago Mines entrance, said Roger Nic
40、holson, general counsel from International Coal Group.At a late night news conference, Nicholson said one team had advanced about 4, 800 feet in the four hours since entering the mine just before 6 p.m. Another team entered the mine about 30 minutes later.He said the crew was very experienced, with
41、some members having worked underground for 30 to 35 years. The miners were equipped with about one hour of breathable oxygen each. The company has not released the names of the miners.The teams test the air about every 500 feet, and have to disconnect (remove) the power to the phones they use to com
42、municate with the surface before doing that. “ We dont want to be energizing anything if its in an atmosphere with burnable gases,” Kips said.The cause of the explosion was not immediately known. High levels of carbon monoxide were detected shortly after the explosion, which delayed rescue efforts,
