It’s called “A bite of China” and began airing on Friday. When its first season was broadcast in May , it became a hit by striking a chord with viewers, with a topic near and dear to people’s hearts: food. So what gourmet foods will the show be covering this time?It’s all about Chinese food culture, a nd it’s made by the country’s best directors, three of whom have won international documentary awards. But for them, taking “a bite of China” is a grueling project.Deng Jie, director of s econd season of “A Bite of China”, said, “Every minute of the video you see is edited out of 150 minutes of footage. And it’s not only that. Our chief director often gave us dozens of suggestions for revisions. It was torture.”But it’s this torture that has made this season’s breakthroughs possible.Chen Xiaoqing, chief director of second season of “A Bite of China”, said, “There were children from single parent families, and students applying to art academies. This time we look at these people from the angle of food. Food is our starting point, but not our finishing line. Our goal is to bring more understanding about Chinese people, through food.”A bite of China first hit the air in May on CCTV’s mandarin channel.“We have some appetite-boosting shots of food-making, but how to create dishes is only one aspect of food culture,” Chen Xiaoqing said, “Our program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements related to dishes, such as eating habits and morality of eating.”Soon after the series hit the airwaves, China’s micro blogging site Weibo began stirring with excitement. Many praised the series, saying how the show made them salivate or had them longing for the foods of theirchildhood.One user wrote: “The tastes of home, memories of childhood, joys of work and vision of life, I was moved by each simple story.This season includes eight episodes and will cover the stories of more than 150 people, and over 300 types of food.56. The underlined word “grueling” in Paragraph 2 probably means ____________________.A. challenging and tiringB. unexpected but delightfulC. appealing and mouth-wateringD. boring but meaningful57. According to the passage, what makes for the success of “A bite of China”?A. I t’s made by the country’s best directors, three of whom have won international documentary awards.B. It’s a topic near and dear to people’s hearts.C. It brings something new by presenting more cultural elements related to dishesD. I t’s th e staff’s torture that has made this season’s breakthroughs possible.BStephen Hawking, who spent his career decoding the universe and evenexperienced weightlessness, is urging the continuation of space exploration —for humanity’s sake.The 71-year-old Hawking said he did not think humanswould survive another 1,000 years “without escaping beyond our fragile planet.”The British cosmologist(宇宙学家) made the remarks Tuesday before anaudience of doctors, nurses and employees at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center,where he toured a st em cell laboratory that’s focused on trying to slow theprogression of Lou Gehrig’s disease.Hawking was diagnosed with the neurological disorder 50 years ago while a student at Cambridge University. He recalled how he became depressed and initially didn’t see a point in finishing his doctorate. But he continued to delve into his studies.“If you understand how the universe operates, you control it in a way,” he said.Famous for his work on black holes and the origins of the cosmos, Hawking is famous for bringing esoteric physics concepts to the masses through his best-selling books.Hawking has survived longer than most people with Lou Gehrig’s disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. ALS attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control the muscles. People gradually have more and more trouble breathing and moving as muscles weaken and waste away. There’s no cure and no way to reverse(倒转) the disease’s progression. Few people with ALS live longer than a decade.Hawking receives around-the-clock care, can only communicate by twitching his cheek, and relies on a computer mounted to his wheelchair to convey his thoughts in a distinctive robotic monotone.Despite his diagnosis, Hawking has remained active. In , he floated like an astronaut on an aircraft that creates weightlessness by making parabolic(抛物线) dives.“However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do.” he said.58. He made the remark that humans will not survive another 1,000 years ________________.A. to highlight the earth is not sustainable to live onB. to make his theory on cosmology widely acceptedC. to show the earth is becoming more and more fragileD. to persuade humans to further space exploration59. Patients with Lou Gehrig’s disease _______________________.A. can recover a little bit if they are treated earlyB. will be unable to walk or speak to othersC. are likely to die within ten years generallyD. are mostly assisted by especially-designed robots60. According to the author, Hawking’s achievements in science lie in ____________.A. his interest in physicsB. his research on the universeC. his creation of black holesD. his strong will against disease61. Hawking believes that if they want to survive, human beings must ____________.A. study the universe without stopB. protect the environment of the earthC. realize the way the universe worksD. escape possible future disastersCMar 8, , a traditional International Women’s Day, turned out to be distressing. Every one throughout the world felt deeply grieved at the news that MH370 became missing with 227 passengers on board, including 153 from the Chinese mainland and one from Taiwan. The disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines 777 plane brings back memories of Air France flight 447, which went missing over the Atlantic Ocean in June .The Airbus A330 took off from Rio de Janeiro and was bound for Paris when it crashed, killing all 228 people on board.When the Air France Operations Coordination Centre alerted the French Bureau of Enquiry and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety (BEA) that it had lost contact with the plane, a search began immediately, using air, naval, and underwater operations, including autonomous underwater vehicles. The first bits of debris(碎片) were found on the ocean surface on June 6, five days after the crash. Most of the wreckage(残骸) was located in April, nearly two years later. The “black boxes”—the cockpit(驾驶员座舱) voice recorder and flight data recorder —were found a month after that. Only then could investigators form a complete picture of what brought down the plane.The problem was that the jet crashed, the BEA final report says, “in a region with rough landform and whose ocean bed presents great variation in depth over short distances of between 700 metres and 4,300 metres.”In other words, ________________________________. Most of the wreckage was eventually found 6.5 nautical miles from the last known position, on a plain 3,900 meters below the surface.So far, no wreckage from the Malaysia plane has been found, though a Vietnamese air force aircraft located two large oil slicks that may be from the missing plane. The aerial search will continue once the sun has risen. Fortunately, the Gulf of Thailand is just 250 feet deep at its deepest point, according to airline analyst Robert W. Mann, Jr., so the search might be much shorter than the Air France one.Investigators finally determined that the Air France flight went down after the pilots reacted improperlyafter ice crystals blocked air speed sensors. They ultimately stalled the plane, causing the crash.There’s no reason to think that the same thing happened here, because we have no information about what happened to the Malaysia jet, and officials say there were no reports of bad weather along the route. A crucial step in figuring that out will be finding the wreckage and the black boxes. The search will still continue.62. According to the text, the following about Air France flight 447 is true EXCEPT that _______________.A. It went missing on Children’s Day,B. Most of the wreckage was found in April,C. The “black boxes” were found in May,D. It took longer to search for the Air France flight 447 that the MH37063. Which of the following sentence can help complete the blank in Para.4?A. It was an extremely risky area for planeB. it was a remarkably difficult area to search.C. It was a rather difficult area for help to reachD. It was a absolutely scary area for pilots64. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To keep us informed of the latest news about MH370B. To compare Air France flight 447 with MH370C. To remind us of the air craft of Air France flight 447D. To appeal to us to look into the truth of the disappearance of MH370DWinter is near at hand. On his bench in Madison Square, Soapy moved uneasily.A dead leaf fell in Soapy’s lap. Soapy’s mind became aware that the time had come for him to resolve himself into a singular Committee of ways and means to provide against the coming rigour(严寒).The winter ambitions of Soapy were not of the highest. For years the hospitable Blackwell’s Prison had been his winter quarters. On the previous night three newspapers, distributed beneath his coat, about his ankles and over his lap, had failed to fight the cold as he slept on his bench in the ancient square. So the Island appeared large and timely in Soapy’s mind. Determined to go to the Island, Soapy immediately set about accomplishing his desire. There were many easy ways of doing this. The pleasantest was to dine luxuriously at some expensive restaurant, and then after declaring to be penniless, be handed over quietly to a policeman. A helpful judge would do the rest.Soapy left his bench and wandered out of the square. Up Broadway he turned, and stopped at a glittering café. but the head waiter’s eye fell upon his ragged trousers and shoes. Strong and ready hands turned him about and conveyed him in silence and haste to the sidewalk.At a corner of Sixth Avenue electric lights, Soapy took a cobble-stone and dashed it through the glass. People came running round the corner, a policeman in the lead. Soapy stood still, with his hands in his pockets, waiting to be taken away. But the policeman’s mind refused to accept Soapy even as a clue.On the opposite side of the street was a small restaurant. At a table Soapy sat and consumed beefsteak,flap-jacks, and pie. And then to the waiter he betrayed the fact that the minutest coin and himself were strangers.“Now, get busy and call a cop,” said Soapy. To his disappointment, neatly upon his left ear on the hard pavement, two waiters pitched Soapy. He struggled to his feet and beat the dust from his clothes. Arrest seemed but a rosy dream. The Island seemed very far away.Five blocks Soapy travelled before his courage permitted him to run after capture again. A young woman of a modest and pleasing dress was standing before a show window gazing with shining interest at its display, and two yards from the window a large policeman leaned against a water-plug.Soapy sidled toward the young woman, causing her to move away a few steps. With half an eye he saw the policeman was watching him fixedly. Soapy bravely stepped to the woman’s side, raised his hat and said: “Ah, Bedelia! Don’t you want to come and play in my yard?”“Sure, Mike,” she said joyfully, “if you’ll buy me some beers. I’d have spoken to you sooner, but the cop was watching.”The young woman then became attached to him. At the next corner he shook off his companion and ran.On the sidewalk Soapy began to yell drunken gibberish(胡言乱语) at the top of his harsh voice. He danced, howled, and otherwise disturbed the peace. A policeman turned his back to Soapy and explained to a citizen, “This is one of the Yale guys celebrating the goose egg they give to the Hartford College. Noisy, but no harm.” Depressed, Soapy paused his seemingly useless roaring. Would never a policeman lay hands on him? In his fancy the Island seemed an unreachable Arcadia(世外桃源).In a cigar store he saw a well-dressed man lighting a cigar at a swinging light. His silk umbrella he had set by the door on entering. Soapy stepped inside, secured the umbrella and went off with it slowly. The man at the cigar light followed hurriedly.“My umbrella,” he said severely. “Oh, is it?” sneered Soapy, “Well, why don’t you call a policeman? There stands one on the corner.”“Well,”said the umbrella man, “You know how these mistakes occur. I, I, if it’s your umbrella, I hope you’ll excuse me. I picked it up this morning in a restaurant. If you recognise it as yours, I hope you’ll…”“Of course it’s mine,” said Soapy evilly.Soapy walked eastward through a street. He threw the umbrella angrily into a dustbin. He complained about the cop. He wanted to be thrown into the Blackwell’s, but they seemed to regard him as a king who could do no wrong.65. What is the dream island that Soapy has been trying his best to enter?A. the hospitable Blackwell’s PrisonB. the bench in Madison SquareC. the warm police stationD. the corner of Sixth Avenue electric lights66. How many times has Soapy tried but failed?A. 4B. 5C. 6D. 767. The following paragraph is taken from the passage. It can be put __________.“Soapy turned off Broadway. It seemed that his route to the dream island was not to be a success. Some other way must be thought of.”A. between Para. 5 and 6B. between Para. 7 and 8C. between Para. 10 and 11D. between Para. 13 and 1468. We can infer from the passage that _______________________.A. The Island was the best place for Soapy to live through the cold winterB. The police regarded Soapy as a king who could do no wrongC. Life was too hard for Soapy and he nearly gave up on himselfD. Soapy found his lost umbrella unexpectedly but threw it away69. The author wrote the passage in a(n) _________ way to make us deep in thought.A. conservativeB. teasingC. objectiveD. skeptical70. Which of the following shows the psychological changes of Soapy?A. Happy——Sad——AngryB. Sad——Happy——AngryC. Disappointed——Hopeful——DepressedD. Hopeful——Disappointed——Depressed第五部分任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）Few women choose academic careers in math-intensive fields because the lifestyle is not consistent with motherhood, researchers at Cornell University found in a study to be published next month in American Scientist Magazine.Universities have long been criticized for hiring and evaluation policies that discriminate against women, but the findings of this new study point to the female biological clock as a main reason why so few women end up as professors in fields such as math, engineering, physics and computer science.A woman who wants a family looks at the tough path to a tenured（终身的）position and considers how old she will be before she can start a family and how little time she will have to raise her children. Many of those women choose a more flexible career."Universities have been largely inflexible about anything other than the standard timetable, which means you'll have to struggle for years and only then would you consider getting pregnant,” said Wendy Williams, a human development professor at Cornell who co-authored the study with her husband, Stephen Ceci.Williams and Ceci analyzed data about the academic careers of men and women with and without children. Before women became mothers, they had careers equal to or more successful than their male peers. But once they gave birth, the dynamic changed.Women in other academic fields such as the humanities and social sciences face similar problems and often leave academia as well. But because there are so many women in those Ph.D. programs, enough finally stay to amount to a critical mass of female professors.In math-heavy fields, however, women make up a tiny minority of the graduate students. So when the rare few who make it through a Ph.D. program leave because universities are not concerned about their needs as mothers at all, the net result is almost no women represented on faculty rosters (教师名单), the第六部分读写任务（共1题，满分25分）阅读下面材料，按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
