Its called “A bite of China” and began airing on Friday. When its firs
20、t season was broadcast in May 2012, it became a hit by striking a chord with viewers, with a topic near and dear to peoples hearts: food. So what gourmet foods will the show be covering this time? Its all about Chinese food culture, and its made by the countrys best directors, three of whom have won
21、 international documentary awards. But for them, taking “a bite of China” is a grueling project. Deng Jie, director of second season of “A Bite of China”, said, “Every minute of the video you see is edited out of 150 minutes of footage. And its not only that. Our chief director often gave us dozens
22、of suggestions for revisions. It was torture.” But its this torture that has made this seasons 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
23、 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 2012 on CCTVs mandarin channel. “We have some appetite-boosting shots of food-making,
24、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, Chinas micro blogging site Weibo b
25、egan stirring with excitement. Many praised the series, saying how the show made them salivate or had them longing for the foods of their childhood.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

It brings something new by presenting more cultural elements related to dishesD. Its the staffs torture t
28、hat has made this seasons breakthroughs possible.B Stephen Hawking, who spent his career decoding the universe and even experienced weightlessness, is urging the continuation of space exploration for humanitys sake. The 71-year-old Hawking said he did not think humans would survive another 1,000 yea
29、rs “without escaping beyond our fragile planet.”The British cosmologist(宇宙学家) made the remarks Tuesday before an audience of doctors, nurses and employees at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he toured a stem cell laboratory thats focused on trying to slow the progression of Lou Gehrigs disease.Haw
30、king was diagnosed with the neurological disorder 50 years ago while a student at Cambridge University. He recalled how he became depressed and initially didnt see a point in finishing his doctorate. But he continued to delve into his studies.“If you understand how the universe operates, you control
31、 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 Gehrigs disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral scle
32、rosis. 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. Theres no cure and no way to reverse(倒转) the diseases progression. Few people with ALS live longer than a decade.Ha
33、wking 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 2007, he floated like an astronaut on an aircraft that
34、 creates weightlessness by making parabolic(抛物线) dives.“However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do.” he said. 58.

36、allyD. are mostly assisted by especially-designed robots60.

37、 human beings must _.A. study the universe without stop B. protect the environment of the earthC. realize the way the universe works D. escape possible future disastersCMar 8, 2014, a traditional International Womens Day, turned out to be distressing. Every one throughout the world felt deeply griev
38、ed 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 2009.The Airbus A
39、330 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 immed
40、iately, 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
41、) 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
42、 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 Vietnam
43、ese 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
44、shorter than the Air France one.Investigators finally determined that the Air France flight went down after the pilots reacted improperly after ice crystals blocked air speed sensors. They ultimately stalled the plane, causing the crash.Theres no reason to think that the same thing happened here, be
45、cause 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 Childrens Day, 2009B. Most of the wreckage was found in April, 2011C. The “black boxes” were found in May, 2011D. It took longer to search for the Air France flight 447 that the MH37063. Which of the following senten
