18、 Bill Gates, but we can read like him. Gates recommended four books in 38though some were published earlier.Leonardo da Vinci, by Walter Isaacson (37)The bestselling biographer of Steve Jobs and Albert Einstein researched deeply into da Vincis contributions beyond art, highlighting the breadth of hi

19、s scientific, technological, and creative output. “Leonardo nearly understood almost all of what was known on the planet at the time. Thats mostly because of his curiosity about every area of natural science and the human experience,” said Gates.The Best We Could Do: An Illustrated Memoir, by Thi Bu

20、i (37)Gates calls this graphic novel “really impressive”. Bui is the daughter of Vietnamese refugees who came to America after the fall of Saigon, and becoming a parent inspired her to look into her own parents miserable history. “I was struck by how the experiences Bui illustrates manage to be both

21、 universal and specific to their circumstances,” said Gates.Lincoln in the Bardo, by George Saunders (38)Saunders, a long-time short story writer, won high praise for this novel. The book imagines the ghosts that haunt (萦绕) the basement of Willie Lincoln, Abraham Lincolns son, who died at 11 in real

22、 life. “Willies death after the Civil War made the president have a new understanding of the grief hes creating in other families by sending their sons off to die in battle,” said Gates.Origin Story: A Big History of Everything, by David Christian (38)This new book is by the creator of Big History,

23、a free, online social studies course. It traces history in wide, sweeping movements, starting with the Big Bang, and it provides, in effect, a short course in modern science. This is a brief history of the universe. “David gets a little stuck on the current economic and political problems in the Wes

24、t, and I wish he talked more about the role innovation will play in preventing the worst effects of climate change,” said Gates.1、Which books refer to the field of science?AOrigin Story and Leonardo da Vinci.BLincoln in the Bardo and Origin Story.CLeonardo da Vinci and The Best We Could Do.DThe Best

26、 received.CDavid Christian talks much about the part that innovation will play.DReaders can only read about Leonardo da Vincis contributions towards art.23（8分） Have you ever pressed the pedestrian button at a crosswalk and wondered if it really worked? Theyre called “placebo(安慰剂）buttons”一buttons tha

27、t mechanically sound and can be pushed，but provide no functionality.In New York City, only about 2 of the 1, 000 crosswalk buttons actually function. Crosswalk signals were generally installed before traffic jam had reached todays levels.But while their function was taken over by more advanced syste

28、mssuch as automated lights or traffic sensors the physical buttons were often kept, rather than being replaced at further expense. Other cities，such as Boston，Dallas and Seattle，have gone through a similar process, leaving them with their own placebo pedestrian buttons. In London, which has 6, 000 t

29、raffic signals, pressing the pedestrian button results in a reliable “Wait” light. But that doesnt necessarily mean that the “green man” or “pedestrian stage” in traffic signal design profession will appear any sooner.“We do have some crossings where the green light comes on automatically, but we st

30、ill ask people to press the button because that enables accessible features, said Glynn Barton, director of network management at Transport for London.These features, such as blind tracks and hearable traffic signals, help people with visual disorder cross the road and only function when the button

31、is pressed. As for the lights, a growing number of them are now combined and become a part of an electronic system that detects traffic and adjusts time frequency accordingly (giving priority to buses if theyre running late, for example), which means that pressing the button has no effect.According

32、to Langer, a Harvard psychologist, placebo buttons give us the illusion (错觉)of control and something to do in situations where the alternative would be doing nothing. In the case of pedestrian crossings, they may even make us safer by forcing us to pay attention to our surroundings. “They serve a ps

33、ychological purpose at the very least,” she added.1、Why are the physical buttons still kept in some cities?ABecause it may cost money to replace them.BBecause they remain as memories of a city.CBecause do have real functions in traffic.DBecause they can result in reliable lights.2、Which of the follo

34、wing word can replace the underline word “features” in Paragraph 4?AFunctions.BUses.CEquipment.DFacilities.3、If you pressed a “placebo button” in London, what would happen?AAll traffic would be affected.BSome kind of sound might appear.CPedestrians came first to cross the road.D“Green man” were boun

35、d to show up earlier.4、What can we know about “placebo buttons” from Langers words?AThey can really control traffic.BThey serve little functions.CThey may work mentally.DThey can help the blind.24（8分） Plants are flowering faster than scientists predicted (预测) in reaction to climate change, which cou

36、ld have long damaging effects on food chains and ecosystems.Global warming is having a great effect on hundreds of plant and animal species around the world, changing some living patterns, scientists say.Increased carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air from burning coal and oil can have an effect on how pl

37、ants produce oxygen, while higher temperatures and changeable rainfall patterns can change their patterns of growth.“Predicting species, reaction to climate change is a major challenge in ecology,” said the researchers of several U.S. universities. They said plants had been the key object of study b

38、ecause their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystem services.The study, published on the Nature website, uses the findings from plant life cycle studies and experiments across four continents and 1,634 species. It found that some experiments had underestimated (

39、低估) the speed of flowering by 8.5 times and leafing by 4 times.“Across all species, the experiments under-predicted the speed of the advancefor both leafing and flowering that results from temperature increase,” the study said.The design of future experiments may need to be improved to better predic

40、t how plants will react to climate change, it said.Plants are necessary for life on the Earth. They are the base of the food chain, using photosynthesis (光合作用) to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water. They let out oxygen which is needed by nearly every organism on the planet.Scientists believ

41、e the worlds average temperature has risen by about 0.8 since 1900, and nearly 0.2 every ten years since 1979.So far, efforts to cut emissions (排放) of planet-warming greenhouse gases are not seen as enough to prevent the Earth heating up beyond 2 this centurya point scientists say will bring the dan

48、e of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and put them together. Then she walked away.
