As royal residences go, Buckingham Palace is something of a newcomer. The state rooms are less than 200 years old. Yet its history is much older and more dramatic than you might think. Its rooms are filled with objects that are clues to the character of kings and queens past. And the art and architecture combine to make a statement about Britain’s place in the world. (101 words)

In 1939, on the eve of the Second World War, Albert Einstein wrote a letter to the American President. The letter was about an application of Einstein’s famous equation, E equals MC squared and his fear that the Nazis c ould use it to build an atomic bomb. E equals MC squared is the symbol of Einstein’s genius. It’s an equation that sums up one of the most powerful truths about the universe. It combines two ideas, which until Einstein came along, no one had ever dreamed could be connected in such a powerful way. The idea of mass, and the idea of energy. (103 words)

Isaac Newton has always been a hero of mine, and probably every physicist you’ll ever meet. He wasn’t an easy character. He arrived in Cambridge in 1661 after a difficult childhood. His father had died before he was born and his mother had abandoned him at the age of three. But the young Newton showed his genius at an early age. He wondered what light might be made of and wanted to know how vision worked, and he was prepared to try anything to find out. One night in his darkened laboratory, he decided to experiment on his own eye. (100 words)

Illustrated books set out to provide a fuller reading experience. What a picture adds to a story, and what the words leave out, is key. But how exactly does that relationship work? Although there were
illustrated books for adults, by far the majority were for children. One stands out above all others –Alice in Wonderland. Words and pictures created a handshake on the page far greater than the sum of the parts. And while the audience is now mostly young children, the combination of artist and writer is alive and well. The best illustrated books form an inseparable, timeless bond that endure long after our childhoods. (106 words)

Ever since I can remember, I’ve been drawn to wild places. I guess it’s really how my interest in bears started. To me, bears, more than any other creature, represent wilderness. And more than that—wildness itself. Brown bears once roamed across Europe and North America but today they’re found in just a few small pockets of really wild land. Alaska is one of the bears’ last strongholds. In most places, bears keep a healthy distance from each other but these bears have somehow learned to live with one another. Left alone, it has become a city of bears. (99 words)

Natural medicines, made from flowers, seeds, roots and leaves. The Chinese were the first to discover the power of plants, making medicine for 4000 years. Focus on prevention rather than cure. Popular today in the east and the west. Healthy for mind, body and soul. Past and present, tribal people always made the most of nature. Explorers and botanists made them available to the rest of the world. Western and traditional medicine unite, returning to more natural cures. Copy their chemicals or use them direct. When they fail, we go back to nature for the next magic cure. (98 words)

The absence or presence of water governs life on land. It determines where and how animals live. But falling rain is not always welcome. The power of water is immense. Once on land, it begins its
journey back to the sea, carving its way through the earth. 65% of the human body is water. It is our absolute necessity. We cannot live without it. We need it for drinking, for bathing and to grow food. And we have gone to great lengths to get it to where we want it to be. Water, the giver of life, essential to all and forever sacred.

Much of my work here is to show people the diversity of the wildlife and to explain its biology. It's important to get to know sharks. With gray sharks there is tension. They'll eat almost anything. You know, humans are much more dangerous to sharks than they are to us. When you spend time with sharks, you begin to understand them and learn to respect them. But you have to command their respect too. They're a vital link in the chain of life. Like wolves they weed out the sick and the injured. (93 words)

The South Pacific is on the face of it still a healthy ocean. W e depend on it. Over 60% of the world’s fish catch comes from the Pacific. But like all oceans, it has little or no protection, so it may not stay healthy much longer. For the South Pacific, this is a critical time. It’s changing in ways that, if left unchecked, could develop into a global crisis. Some of its residents have been through crisis before. And protecting the fish will ensure a healthy ocean for all the marine life of the Pacific. It will require international commitment and co-operation. (102 words)

The Road tells us stories of cities, stories of wars, all passed on through travelers’ tales. The hardest part of the Silk Road journey was crossing the vast expanse of desert, called “The Sea of Death”.

2018 D Part A The wind has had some of its most dramatic effects on human history when it interacts with the energy of the oceans. It’s an interaction that can have major long term consequences. But it can also bring short term disaster. The sea acts as a main store of the sun’s heat. There’s more energy in the top 3 meters of the ocean than the whole of the atmosphere. By pumping this energy into the air, the ocean is constantly influencing the wind. A principle that is demonstrated each year: the hotter the ocean, the faster the air above rises. Part B 视频对话 W: Hi, Tom. How was your summer vacation? M: Good, I went to Beijing in August. W: Oh, how did you like it? M: Well, I’ve been there several times. This time I had a three-day tour and I noticed something different. I like it better now. W: Really? What is the difference? M: I’ve seen a lot of fantastic office buildings and some of them are of eco-design. 1. 那是什么意思？ What does that mean? 电脑回答It means that the designs combines environmentally friendly ideas. I visited one building with eco-designs. They helped cut energy cost greatly. Last year, that building saved up to 20% energy cost, compared to other ordinary buildings. Thanks to the various wonderful design. 2. 让你印象最深刻的设计是什么？ What design impressed you most? 电脑回答Well, I think what impresses me most is the high-tech curtain wall. For one thing, it is used to adjust temperature automatically in the building. The indoor temperature will not be affected by conditions outside. For another, it enables 90% of the office area to enjoy natural sunlight, which makes people feel like closer to nature. 3. 这栋大楼里还有其他新设计吗？ Are there any other new designs in this building? 电脑回答Yes, of course. For example, there is only one elevator in the building. Many staff have to walk to their offices. At first some of them complained, but gradually they realized walking is pretty good exercise to keep them fit. Another example is that the parking spaces are reserved mostly for small cars, so the use of small cars is encouraged. 1. When did Tom visit Beijing?

2018A Part A This is one of the greatest masterpieces of Chinese landscape painting. When westerners first discovered Chinese paintings like this one, they could not see their value. To understand painting, you need to understand calligraphy. The character is not a picture of an object in the real world, but a symbol for an idea. As Chinese characters are symbols for ideas, so elements in a Chinese landscape, rocks, water, trees and mountains, became symbols of concepts. For the Chinese, pictures painted with a brush are symbols that carry both the surface meaning and additional hidden meanings. Chinese paintings are not just pretty pictures. They mean something. Part B 视频对话 W: Good afternoon, Dr. Brown. We are very honored to have you with us today. M: Thanks for inviting me, Mary. W: We know that you have been studying sleep and health for many years. M: Yes, I started my research in 2010. W: I know that good sleep makes me feel better, but I am not so sure about the specific health benefits of good sleep. M: Well, recently I have published a book named Sleep and Health. According to my research, good sleep benefits our mind, weight, heart and more. Yet, few of us realize that. Now more and more people, including young students, are having sleep problems. 1. 学生是如何受到睡眠影响的？ How are students affected by sleep? 电脑回答For children between the ages of 10 and 16, if they haven’t got enough sleep, they are more likely to have problems with attention and learning. College students who don’t get enough sleep have worse grades than those who do. So don’t sacrifice sleep even if you are trying to meet a deadline. Get a good sleep and you might get a good score. 2. 睡眠好还有其他什么好处吗？ Is there any other benefit of good sleep? 电脑回答Well, good sleep also helps you have a healthy weight. If you are thinking about going on a diet, you might need to plan an earlier bed time. People tend to feel more hungry and eat more when they get less sleep. Researchers find that dieter who sleep well lose more fat than those don’t. 3. 那意味着我们应该多睡觉吗？ Does that mean we should sleep more? 电脑回答Well, it depends. Too much or too little sleep is associated with a shorter lifespan. But sleep surely affects the quality of life. If you sleep better, you will certainly live better. It’s pretty clear. 1. When did Dr. Brown start his research on sleep and health?
