21、Shipwrecked Prayers

A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men aboard were able to swim to a small, desert-like island. Not knowing what else to do, the two survivors agreed that they had no alternative but to pray to God.

However, to find out whose prayers were more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.

The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the island, and he was able to eat its fruit. But the other man’s parcel of land remained barren.

After a week, the first man became lonely and decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the island. But on the other side of the island, there was nothing.

Soon thereafter the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, like magic, all of these things were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.

Finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he and his wife could leave the island, and in the morning he found a ship docked at his side of the island.

The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island, considering the other man unworthy to receive God’s blessings since none of his prayers had been answered.

As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from Heaven booming, “Why are you leaving your companion on the island?”

“My blessings are mine alone since I was the one who prayed for them,” the first man answered. “His prayers were all unanswered and so he doesn’t deserve anything.”

“You are mistaken!” the voice rebuked him. “He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings.”

“Tell me,” the first man asked the voice, “what did he pray for that I should owe him anything?”

“He prayed that all your prayers would be answered.”

For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us. So what you do for others is more important than what you do for yourself.

【1】The first man’s wife is _____.

A. a swimmer who got to the island by accident

B. an angel sent by God to keep him company

C. a survivor from another wrecked ship

D. a native person on the desert-like island

A. isolated B. unproductive C. fertile D. dry

【3】Which of the following is true about the second man?

A. He didn’t deserve any blessing from God.

B. None of his prayers was answered by God.

C. He is not brave enough to tell God his needs.

D. His prayer helped his companion get out of trouble.

【4】What’s the moral of the story?

A. Never judge a person by appearance.

B. Don’t lose heart in trouble.

C. Helping others is helping ourselves.

D. Greed is the root of all evil.

22、Walk through the Amazon rainforest today and you will find it steamy, warm, damp and thick. But if you had been there around 15,000 years ago, during the last ice age, would it have been the same? For more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing about how rainforests might have reacted to the cold, dry climate of the ice ages, but till now, no one has reached a satisfying answer.

Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to solve global warming. Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2each year: equal to the total amount of CO2 given off in the UK each year. But how will the Amazon react to the future climate change? If it gets drier, will it survive and continue to draw down CO2? Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past.

Unfortunately, collecting information is incredibly difficult. To study the past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen（花粉）kept in lake mud, Going back to the last ice age means drilling down into lake sediments（沉淀物）, which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery. There are very few roads and paths, or places to land helicopters and aeroplanes.  Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest, but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled（未取样）. So far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon forest reacts to climate change.

【1】How do scientists study the past climate change?

A. By predicting the climate change in the future.

B. By drilling down deep into land sediments.

C. By analyzing fossilized pollen in lake mud.

D. By taking samples from rivers in the Amazon.

【2】Why is it difficult to collect information about the past climate change?

A. Because scientists can't find proper equipment and machinery.

B. Because it is very difficult to obtain complete samples.

C. Because helicopters and aeroplanes have no place to land.

D. Because none of the cores provide any information.

【3】Where is the passage most probably taken from?

A. A medical journal.   B. A news report

C. A travel brochure.   D. A science magazine.

【4】The best title for the text may be   .

A. Secrets of the Rainforest

B. Climates of the Amazon

C. The History of the Rainforest

D. Changes of the Rainforest

23、Using Technology to Write the Next Hit.

Writing a book is a long and challenging process,but new technology is increasingly making it easier for others to finish their books.

Michael Green, a US data scientist-turned-novelist, felt that technology could help him simplify the writing process when he was in the middle of writing his debut (首部) book.

He said that the process had become difficult to manage: “In the midst of editing, I got to the point where I started feeling like I had a lot of plots and characters,” he told the BBC.

“I had all these documents on the deeper aspects of the world I was creating. I was worried about not being able to keep track of it all. That is when I switched into my more data science-minded approach to solving a complex problem with a lot of different places.”

Green went on to create Lynit, a digital platform to help authors plan and weave together the many elements that form a story, such as the themes, characters and major events.

“As the author gets a new idea that they want to bring into the story, they are able to input it into a natural framework,” he told the BBC, “Piece by piece they are adding to the story. As new ideas come in, they change, maybe by creating new nodes (节点), new relationships.”

Once the book has been published, technology is also playing in an ever-increasing role in publicity and connecting with readers. Websites and APPs from specialist firms allow authors to participate in live-question-and-answer sessions with their audience.

Another tech firm, Crazy Maple Studios in California, US, offers authors four apps that can add music, animation, sound effects, and in some cases, game play.

Michael Green believes technology will become even more important as a new generation of tech-savvy (精通技术的) writers becomes more well known.

“What I’m finding with the Generation Z and even younger writers is that they are looking for technology to give them guidance,” he told the BBC, “They see it as a tool to learn and grow with rather than extra work.”

【1】What difficulty did Green face in writing his debut book?

A．He often felt that he was not creative enough.

B．He would leave out important plots.

C．He had trouble organizing his thoughts.

D．He was afraid the characters wouldn't appeal to readers.

【2】What is an advantage of technology according to the text?

A．It creates new relationships for others.

B．It can generate images based on words.

C．It can translate thoughts into sentences.

D．It brings authors closer to their readers

【3】Which of the following would Green most probably agree with?

A．Tech-savvy writers becomes known thanks to technology.

B．Young writers rely too heavily on technology.

C．Technology should be dismissed as extra work .

D．New technology matters to growing young writers.

【4】What is the main purpose of the article?

A．To give advice on how to write a book.

B．To introduce how technology in writing develops.

C．To share how new technology benefits authors.

D．To show the popularity of new tools among authors.
