Named TanSat, as “tan” is the Chinese word for carbon, the satellite moves around Earth at about 700 kilometers above the ground. There, it can “see” clearly how much CO2 there is in the air and how it is moving. How is TanSat able to do that? When sunlight travels through the air, the CO2 molecules (分子) take in different colors from the light. The satellite then looks at these colors to find out how much CO2 there is in the air. “The TanSat has very good ‘vision (視力)’, and it can tell changes in CO2 as small as 1 percent,” said Yin Zengshan, one of the satellite’s designers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, according to Xinhua News Agency. But there is a question. When CO2 can already be measured from ground stations, why do we need a satellite that does the same thing? The truth is that they don’t do exactly the same thing. According to Zhang Peng, vice director of the National Satellite Meteorological Center, the data (數(shù)據(jù)) from ground stations is limited and it does not cover the ocean area, which takes up more than 70 percent of Earth’s surface. But TanSat has solved the problem. It has a bird’s-eye view of the Earth, covering both the land and the ocean. It can also change its mode (模式) and position when looking at the ocean area because the water can reflect (反射) light. This light may change the data if its normal mode is used. More importantly, China is now working on its goal of producing less CO2, starting from 2030 or earlier. To meet that goal, it will need to keep track of every bit of progress that it’s making. And with TanSat, China will have first-hand, detailed data of CO2 emissions (排放) in different areas, provinces and parts of the ocean, no longer having to use data from Japan and the US. 16.Which of the following about TanSat is TRUE? A. It collects the CO2 in different areas above the ground. B. It gets CO2 data by studying the colors of air. C. It has been developed with the help of Japan and the US. D. It has different modes to suit different weather conditions. 17.By reporting that the TanSat has very good “vision”, the article shows that ______. A. the satellite uses many different kinds of cameras B. the satellite is very sensitive C. the satellite can capture (捕捉) every change in CO2 D. the satellite can reflect light at 700 kilometers above the ground 18.What can be concluded from the last paragraph? A. TanSat is specially designed to reduce China’s CO2 emissions. B. China did not have any detailed data of CO2 emissions before. C. TanSat will play a key role in helping to reduce China’s CO2 emissions. D. China is going to share its data of CO2 emissions with other countries. B Whether they are government officials, company leaders, activists, writers or artists, women play important roles in changing the world. On Dec 14, BBC Radio 4 released (發(fā)布) the Woman’s Hour Power List to celebrate the seven women who have had the biggest effect on women’s lives over the last 70 years. The UK’s first female Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who served from 1979 to 1990, was No 1 on the list. Yet the judges said that it was a difficult choice, according to The Guardian newspaper. Speaking about the decision to put Thatcher in the top spot, Emma Barnett, chair of judges, said that no matter what your view of her politics (政治立場(chǎng)) and her leadership style, she made us think again about what power means. “Thatcher was one of the most famous leaders of the 20th century...She changed how women saw how to be a woman in power, from the way people spoke to the way people dressed,” Barnett told the Breitbart news website. “She broke the glass ceiling (晉升瓶頸) and just by having a woman in power, little girls knew they could do it.” Fellow judge Ayesha Hazarika made it clear that she was not happy with the top choice of Thatcher. But she said: “Whether you loved her or hated her, hers was a very important achievement. Thatcher changed a generation and a time in British history.” The list of seven is made up of many different kinds of women. Many were surprised that the UK’s Queen Elizabeth II didn’t make the list. British Prime Minister Theresa May was also left out, along with all of today’s politicians. In fact, not all are famous names. Second on the list is Helen Brooks, who set up contraceptive (避孕的) services for women in the UK and – in the words of Barnett – “gave women the key to controlling their own bodies”. The list also includes the former British Labor Party Member of Parliament Barbara Castle, Australian feminist (主張女權(quán)的) writer Germaine Greer, British strike (罷工) leader Jayaben Desai, and the US singer-songwriter Beyonc Knowles. Perhaps the most unexpected name on the list is Bridget Jones, the heroine of English writer Helen Fielding’s novel Bridget Jones’s Diary (《BJ單身日記》, 1996). Even though Jones is not real, she has truly changed the way women are seen and the way they can speak. “She’s a heroine with problems. She’s the character who enabled women who didn’t have children or the perfect life to laugh at themselves. Now they don’t feel bad about who they are,” Barnett told The Telegraph. 19. According to Emma Barnett, Thatcher was No 1 on the Woman’s Hour Power List mainly because ______. A. she served as the UK’s prime minister for a long time B. her politics and leadership style were respected by people all over the world C. she showed the possibility of women holding key leadership positions D. she encouraged women to become politicians 20. Which adjective best describes the judges’ attitude toward Thatcher’s being the top choice? A. Supportive. B. Negative (否定的). C. Mixed. D. Doubtful. 21. Which is TRUE about the women that have been included in the Woman’s Hour Power List? A. Most of them are famous politicians. B. Helen Brooks helped women get to know their bodies. C. They have all made the most outstanding achievements in their fields. D. Bridget Jones encouraged women with problems to accept themselves. C Cats hiding in boxes may be hard to understand, but they do it for a reason. If you have ever had a cat, or have watched one of the many funny cat videos online, you’ll know that cats have a mind of their own. A lot of the things they do are hard to understand – they like to climb up tall furniture, fit themselves in small spaces and attack small objects for no reason at all. Now scientists have managed to figure out what exactly is going on in the brains of our little friends. According to Tony Buffington, a veterinarian (獸醫(yī)) and professor at Ohio State University in the US, cats’ strange behavior largely comes from their way of life back in the wild. “Cats today still have many of the same instincts (本能) that allowed them to live in the wild for millions of years,” he said in a TED Talk. “To them, our homes are their jungles (叢林).” In the wild, cats are hunters. Their bodies and great balancing (平衡) abilities allow them to climb to high spots to better look at the environment. Even though they don’t have to hunt anymore in human houses, they still keep the old habit of viewing the living room from, for example, the top of the refrigerator. Cats’ hunting instinct is also what makes them attack small things like keys and USB drives. In the wild, they hunt whatever they can get, and most of the animals they kill are small. However, cats can also be prey. This explains why they like to stay in small spaces like drawers or washing machines – they are hiding, or they think they are hiding, from more dangerous animals. This is also why cats prefer a clean litter box (貓砂盒); a smelly one could easily show enemies where they are. But knowing how cats’ minds work is not only useful for better understanding them. It may also help cats’ owners to better meet cats’ needs. For example, owners could try to make climbing easier for cats by moving their furniture around. They could also use “food puzzles (食物游戲)” to make eating feel more like hunting instead of just giving food to the cats. 22. According to Tony Buffington, ______. A. cats’ strange behavior is hard to understand B. cats are more used to living in the wild than in humans’ homes C. cats behave strangely mainly because of some habits they formed in the wild D. cats’ instincts are as helpful to them today as they were millions of years ago 23. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article? A. Cats like to climb up high because they want to hide from dangerous animals. B. Cats attack keys and USB drives because they have a habit of hunting small animals. C. Cats enjoy staying in small spaces because they usually live in small caves in the wild. D. Cats’ preference for a clean litter box has something to do with their hunting habits. 24. The underlined word “prey” in Paragraph 7 probably means ______. A. lazy animals B. animals that like hiding games C. clean animals D. animals that are hunted 25. This article was mainly written to _______. A. explore the reasons behind cats’ strange behavior B. describe cats’ wild past to readers C. tell cat owners how to make life easier for their cats D. compare cats’ behavior in human homes and their behavior in the wild 第二節(jié)（共5小題，每小題2分，滿分10分） 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。 Are you left-handed? If you are, you make up just 10 percent of the world’s population. 26 Most people write and play musical instruments with their right hands. Why are so few people left-handed? A new theory, called “cooperation (合作) vs competition” may have the answer. 27 When making tools for a right-handed person — like a knife — it was easier if everybody could use the same hand. But some humans wanted to compete instead. So to have an advantage over right-handed people, they would use their left hand to surprise competitors. 28 German born American scientist Albert Einstein, British physicist Isaac Newton and British biologist Charles Darwin are some famous “l(fā)efties”. At least six US presidents were left-handed, including Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Harry Truman. “Lefties” are also often linked with creativity and visual (視覺) skills. How can this be? Well, the left side of our brain is where we solve problems. The right side of our brain is where we develop creativity. Right-handers tend to use the left side more than the right side. 29 “This is why there are more of them in creative areas, such as music, art and writing,” said Alan Searleman, PhD, from St. Lawrence University, New York. 30 .They tend to have worse memories, often forgetting names and places. A. While the body is symmetrical(對(duì)稱的)in many ways, in some key areas, it’s decidedly one-sided. B. As humans evolved(進(jìn)化), we needed to work together to live. C. This means we live in a right-handed world. D. However, it’s not all good news for left-handers. E. Which means that, lefties should celebrate their differences. F. Yet left-handers tend to use both sides more evenly(均勻)than right-handers. G. Although there are few left-handed people, some of them are geniuses(天才). 第三部分 語(yǔ)言知識(shí)運(yùn)用（共三節(jié)，滿分45分） 第一節(jié) 完形填空（共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分） 閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。 In our modern world, when something wears out, we throw it away and buy a new one.
