8、anSat, 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) ta
9、ke 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 (视力), and it can tell changes in CO2 as small as 1 percent,” said Yin Zengshan, one of the satellites designers at the Chinese Academy of Scie
10、nces, 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 dont do exactly the same thing. According to Zhang Peng, vice director of the National Satellite Meteorolog
11、ical Center, the data (数据) from ground stations is limited and it does not cover the ocean area, which takes up more than 70 percent of Earths surface.But TanSat has solved the problem. It has a birds-eye view of the Earth, covering both the land and the ocean. It can also change its mode (模式 ) and
12、position when looking at the 4ocean 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
13、 bit of progress that its 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 differe
14、nt 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
15、 many different kinds of camerasB. the satellite is very sensitiveC. the satellite can capture (捕捉) every change in CO2D. the satellite can reflect light at 700 kilometers above the ground18.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. TanSat is specially designed to reduce Chinas CO2 emissions.
16、B. China did not have any detailed data of CO2 emissions before.C. TanSat will play a key role in helping to reduce Chinas CO2 emissions.D. China is going to share its data of CO2 emissions with other countries.BWhether they are government officials, company leaders, activists, writers or artists, w
17、omen play important roles in changing the world. On Dec 14, BBC Radio 4 released (发布) the Womans Hour Power List to celebrate the seven women who have had the biggest effect on womens lives over the last 70 years.The UKs first female Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who 5served from 1979 to 1990, w
18、as 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 (政治立场) and her leadership style, she made us thi
19、nk 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 (晋升瓶颈) and just by havin
20、g 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 his
21、tory.”The list of seven is made up of many different kinds of women. Many were surprised that the UKs Queen Elizabeth II didnt make the list. British Prime Minister Theresa May was also left out, along with all of todays politicians.In fact, not all are famous names. Second on the list is Helen Broo
22、ks, 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 (主张女权的 ) writer Germaine Greer, British stri
23、ke (罢工) 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 Fieldings novel Bridget Joness Diary (BJ 单身日记 , 1996). Even though Jones is not real, she has truly changed the way women are s
24、een and the way they can speak.“Shes a heroine with problems. Shes the character who enabled women who didnt have children or the perfect life to laugh at themselves. Now they dont feel bad about who they are,” Barnett told The Telegraph.19. According to Emma Barnett, Thatcher was No 1 on the Womans

27、w their bodies.C. They have all made the most outstanding achievements in their fields.D. Bridget Jones encouraged women with problems to accept themselves.CCats 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 c
28、at videos online, youll 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
29、 the brains of our little friends.According to Tony Buffington, a veterinarian (兽医) 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 wi
30、ld for millions of years,” he said in a TED Talk. “To them, our homes are their jungles (丛林).”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 dont have to hunt anymore in human houses
31、, 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 7drives. In the wild, they hunt whatever they can get, and most of the animals they kill are small.However, ca
32、ts 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 (猫砂盒); a smelly one could easily show enemies where they are.But know
33、ing 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 (食物游戏 )” to make eating feel more like h
34、unting instead of just giving food to the cats.22. According to Tony Buffington, _.A. cats strange behavior is hard to understandB. cats are more used to living in the wild than in humans homesC. cats behave strangely mainly because of some habits they formed in the wildD. cats instincts are as help
35、ful to them today as they were millions of years ago23. 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 enjo
36、y 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 animalsB. animals that like hiding gamesC. clean animalsD. ani
37、mals that are hunted25. This article was mainly written to _.A. explore the reasons behind cats strange behaviorB. describe cats wild past to readersC. tell cat owners how to make life easier for their catsD. compare cats behavior in human homes and their behavior in the wild8第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 1

If you are, you make up just 10 percent of the worlds 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 h
39、ave 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
40、scientist Albert Einstein, British physicist Isaac Newton and British biologist Charles Darwin are some famous “lefties”. 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 (视觉) skills.How can
41、 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 Se
