The end of the year is drawing near, and winter is in full swing. The season brings along with it
strong winds and snow — an environment that’s never comfortable to be in.
This unpleasant and even frightening aspect of winter can often be seen in literature. In
Shakespeare’s King Lear (1606), the king has given away his kingdom and been rejected by his two
ungrateful daughters. He is out in the winter cold, suffering things that are usually reserved for the
poorest and most unfortunate human beings.
The winter is bad enough for Lear, but being abandoned by his family is worse. A song from
another Shakespeare play, As You Like It (1599), is fitting for this poor old man’s situation: “Blow,
blow, thou winter wind / Thou art not so unkind /As man’s ingratitude ( 忘恩负义)”. Here, winter is
used to bring out the ugliness of inhumanity ( 不人道). There aren’t many things that are worse than
winter, according to Shakespeare.
Once winter became less of a threat to human beings, literary works featuring it became more
positive. Since Charles Dickens, the representation of the season in literature has often featured happy
Christmas celebrations.
The cold of the winter weather provides a contrast to the fun going on indoors. Dickens’ A
Christmas Carol (1843) was the start of this, but Christmas is still a common, cheery element in stories
that feature winter scenes today. Consider the joy felt by Harry Potter and his friends in J. K.
Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (1997) as they sit down for their festive meal: “Harry
had never in all his life had such a Christmas dinner. A hundred fat, roast turkeys; mountains of roast
and boiled potatoes; platters of chipolatas (小香肠) and so on. ”
It is almost as much a pleasure to read about the meal as it might have been to eat it.
Although winter still isn’t the most cheerful season in novels and poems, it’s safe to say that
writers have certainly “warmed up” since Shakespeare’s days.
24. What is winter like in Shakespeare’s works?
A. Pleasant. B. Comfortable. C. Stressful. D. Cruel.
25. What contribution did Charles Dickens make to the description of winter?
A. He wrote a lot of stories that were set in winter.
B. He was an author famous for describing winter.
C. He made a turning point in the description of winter.
D. He inspired readers to experience the cheerful winter.
26. What do the winter scenes in J. K. Rowling’s works bring?
A. Magic. B. Joy. C. Cold. D. Ugliness.
27. In which section of the newspaper does the text probably appear?
A. Science and technology. B. Fashion and lifestyle.
C. Culture and history. D. Health and medicine.
C
No matter how exciting space exploration sounds, there’s a vital point about it that needs to be
considered: food supplies. Right now, astronauts typically rely on dry food in airtight bags and cans,
since there are strict weight limits on items taken into space. Foods that we take for granted, such as
fresh fruits and vegetables, are out of the question for space explorers.
For those who’ve attempted to grow food during space missions, they’ve faced many difficulties,
including the absence of gravity, and a lack of soil, air and humidity ( 湿 度 ). However, as Shane
Topham, an engineer with Space Dynamics Laboratory at Utah State University in the US, told NASA,
“Growing food to supplement( 补 充 ) and minimize the food that must be carried to space will be
increasingly important on long-duration missions.”
Great efforts have been made to explore the concept of space farming. Recently, a team led by
Federico Maggi at the University of Sydney in Australia figured out how plants can absorb nutrients
from human urine (尿), as reported by New Scientist on March 27.
After over 20 years of experiments, the results suggested that human urine could supply three to
four out of the six nutrients that plants need. The researchers also found out that urine-fertilized plants
produce no harmful by-products, such as carbon dioxide or ammonia (氨).
According to New Scientist, human urine is 95 percent water, with the other 5 percent composed
of nutrients which are harmful to the human body but not to plants. The advantage of this urine-fueled
life support system is obvious: By recycling liquid waste and producing food, an efficient cycle will be
created.
And most importantly, said New Scientist, the duration of space missions will be greatly extended
to “20 years of flight”, meaning we may be soon sending astronauts on missions to Mars, or even
beyond.
28. What is the main reason for space farming’s being important?
A. Food brought from Earth goes bad easily during space flights .
B. It will keep astronauts busy when they are on long-term space missions .
C. It could provide fresh food and reduce the need to bring food from Earth .
D. It’s a way for astronauts to learn more about the environment in space .
29. What can we learn from the University of Sydney’s research?
A. Human urine is harmless to plants.
B. Human urine provides six necessary nutrients for plants.
C. Urine fertilizer is safer and more productive than chemical fertilizer.
D. Urine-fertilized plants only release a small amount of carbon dioxide.
30. According to New Scientist, what is the biggest advantage of using human urine for space farming?
A. It could pave the way for long-term space flights.
B. It does little harm to the environment in space.
C. It will greatly reduce the cost of farming in space.
D. Urine-fertilized plants are healthier and taste better.
31. What’s the text mainly about?
A. The significance of space farming.
B. A possible new way to grow food in space.
C. How to use human urine to produce food in space.
D. Problems facing astronauts on long-term space flights.
D
For many people, working from home, or “WFH”, has also come to mean “WFB”—working
from bed. Getting dressed and going to an office has been replaced by splashing water on your face
and switching on a computer as you settle back under your blanket. People may have a desk or a
kitchen table to place their computer on—they just choose not to.
But the reality is that turning your bed into your office can set off a large number of health
problems, both psychological and physical. And even if you don’t notice them now, adverse effects—
possibly permanent—could appear later on in life. Young people are particularly likely to fall victim to
these bad habits, because they may not feel the consequences right away, which could include simple
headaches, and could also extend to permanent stiffness in your back, and severe pain in the bones.
When you work from bed for a year, it doesn’t just potentially ruin your body. It’s possibly bad
for your productivity and sleep habits, too. Rachel Salas, a sleep expert at Johns Hopkins University in
Maryland, explained that “the more you watch TV in bed, play video games in bed and not sleep in
bed, your brain starts learning,‘oh, OK, we can do any one of these activities in bed’. It starts building
connections.”
So, when you spread out on your bed your laptop, phone and all the screens your job requires
every day, your brain and body eventually stop associating bed with rest. “You’re really training your
brain to be alert, and telling it this is where your ideas come and this is where the work is done,” adds
Salas. “When you’re trying to go to sleep, your brain is like—‘wait a minute, what are we doing? This
is work time’.” Doing this for a year, or any extended period of time, could lead to circadian rhythm
disorder (昼夜节律紊乱). And disturbed nights, body pain or both mean that you’re less likely to be
productive, creative or focused, making it likely your work could suffer.
32. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “adverse” in paragraph 2?
A. Beneficial. B. Harmful. C. Temporary. D. Ever-lasting.
33. What do we know about the health problems caused by working from bed?
A. Young people are less likely to suffer from them.
B. They can be permanent and can be easily noticed.
C. Young people might notice them later on in their life.
D. They only appear when you work from bed for a year.
34. What does Rachel Salas say about working from bed?
A. It trains your brain to be more alert and creative.
B. It makes you sleepy and easily distracted from work.
C. It’s better than watching TV or playing games in bed.
D. It makes your brain connect bed with work rather than rest.
35. What is this text mainly about?
A. Beds are not the perfect working sites.
B. Your productivity suffers from working from home.
C. Working from bed could ruin both your health and work.
D. Turning your bed into your office has become a new trend.
