【题目】 Surprise! High School Student Discovers New Planet Three Days Into NASA.
When 17-year-old Wolf Cukier accepted an internship (实习) at NASA, he expected to be challenged and gain insights into pursuing a career in astrophysics (天体物理学) . Instead, he attained worldwide fame for an achievement finding a new planet!
The teenager came across the distant world while examining images of the variations in star brightness captured by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and uploaded to Planet Hunters TESS by amateur citizen astronomers. “I was looking through the data for everything the volunteers had marked,” Cukier said. “About three days into my internship, I saw a signal from a system called TOI 1338. At first, I thought it was a stellar eclipse (日食) but the timing was wrong. It turned out to be a planet.” Further research revealed that TOI 1338 b, as it is now called, is a rare circumbinary planet (环双星行星) — a world orbiting two stars. Even more exciting, TOI 1338 b is the first circumbinary world discovered by the TESS mission.
The researchers believe that TOI 1338 b is about 6.9 times larger than Earth. The experts claim that TOI 1338 b's two stars vary in size. It is also the only planet in the TOI 1338 system, which lies 1,300 light-years away from Earth.
Not surprisingly, the High School senior is looking to pursue a career in physics and astrophysics. When asked of his plans to seek out a job at NASA, the youngster said, “I've no idea about NASA's hiring practices but it can't hurt!” He added, “A career in space research is appealing.”

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
The fire at Notre-Dame Cathedral de Paris has raised questions about the condition of thousands of other cathedrals and historic 【1】 (structure) across Europe. It also raises questions about whether European government are doing enough 【2】 (keep) up and care for such buildings.
Tibor Navracsics, the European Union’s top cultural official, told The Associated Press that “we are so used to our outstanding cultural heritage in Europe that we tend to forget that it 【3】 (need) constant care and attention.” Some people say the fire was a wake-up call, not just for Europe,【4】 for the whole world.
Large fires have long robbed humanity 【5】 knowledge, art and treasures. In 2015, the German engineering company Siemens 【6】 (find) that Scotland had about ten damaging fires a year, while England lost at least a dozen listed buildings a year. In Germany, seventy historic buildings have been 【7】 (heavy) damaged since 2000.
Experts say that 【8】 is needed is continuous attention and maintenance. Some say world-famous monuments like Notre-Dame are the 【9】 (drive) force behind tourism and should get more respect. Sneska Quaedvlieg-Mihailovic, who heads the heritage group Europa Nostra, noted the 【10】 (important) of such respect. “Cultural heritage is a gold mine. You cannot exploit it and then just leave the mine and go to another one.” She said.

【题目】 As recently as 15 years ago, if you wanted to catch up on the news, you could look at a handful of publications or a few nightly programs. And if you wanted to listen to music, you could turn on MTV or fiddle with your radio. People in major cities had more options, because a large population can support specialty shops. 【1】.
Today, as we all know, access to information has exploded. One consequence, according to Toure, a cultural critic writing in Salon, is that the ability of pop culture to unify us-- he refers to the massive interest in Michael Jackson’s Thriller, or Nirvana’s Nevermind--has been eroded, probably forever. Steven Hyden, also writing in Salon, counters that whatever the advantages and disadvantages of a centralized pop-culture authority, the monoculture never actually existed.
【2】 Even when it supposedly existed, its content largely depended on other characteristics of your little corner of the world. In the 1992-1993 school year, I was a student at a multiracial and relatively urban junior high school in California’s central valley. We listened to Salt-n-Pepa, Snoop Doggy Dogg, and Kris Kross, with the latter having inspired a trend in which kids wore their clothes backwards. The next year I was enrolled in a mostly white junior high school in leafy Chiago suburb. One of the houses was famous for having appeared in the 1990 film “Home Alone”; the popular bands were Nirvana, Hole and the Smashing Pumpkins; and the biggest pop-cultural event of the school year was Kurt Cobain’s suicide.
But Toure’s point is about the virtues of common cultural experience. It seems he is recalling centralized media only in so far as it’s a distribution system that fostered ( 促进) that outcome.
【3】 It doesn’t matter whether a record is released by an important label or an indie ( 独立制片人); if it’s online, people can usually find, forward, share and promote it. But what’s interesting and perhaps surprising, given that both Toure and Mr Hyden seem to agree that the old distribution favored big media, is that we still have widely shared cultural experiences. Just think of Barack Obama doing the little hand gesture from Beyonce’s “Single Ladies ” video.
【4】. It’s safe to say that the monoculture never really existed, and that some artists still reach a wide audience, whether we like it or not.
A.That suggests that we like pop culture partly because it’s a shared experience, regardless of quality.
B.However, in vast areas of the world you had to work to get outside the mainstream.
C.Whether you like it or not, “monoculture” is here with us.
D.I think Mr Hyden is correct that the concept of a “monoculture” is a bit of a myth.
E.They see globalization as being the spread of a monoculture, based on western values, which is killing the cultural diversity of the world.
F.And it’s true that the ways we now consume pop culture to some extent level the playing field.

【题目】 Your colleague’s sharp comment keeps replaying in your mind.Two of your students are trapped in a”he said/she said”battle.When you reflect on your emotional reactions,you sometimes get caught up in cycles of negative feelings,which can make you feel even worse.If so,the answer may lie in a skill called”self-distancing”,the ability to take a step back and view yourself more objectively.According to a research,when people adopt self-distancing while discussing a difficult event,they make better sense of their reactions,experience less emotional suffering,and display fewer signs of stress.
But what might self-distancing look like in action? Consider a typical”he said/she said”student conflict where they are each focusing on their own feelings.One is thinking,‘‘I can't believe he did that to me”And another insists.”She really hurt my feelings”However,if you ask them to take the self-distancing,they might step outside of themselves and ask broader questions:”Why was he so hurt in this situation?”or”How did her anger affect him?”
Although this approach may sound too simple to be effective,studies indicate that a change in point of view can have a powerful effect on the way people think,feel,and behave. Here are several different techniques you can try.
First,consider how a thoughtful friend might respond after quietly observing their situation.Besides,avoid using the pronoun”I”.Focus on using third-person pronouns,he,she,they,and they were able to see the stressful event as challenging rather than threatening.Finally,ask yourself,”How would I feel about this one week from now or ten years from now?”This form of mental time travel may be effective because our attention is directed away from our immediate,concrete circumstances.
【1】What is self-distancing?
A.Getting stuck in negative emotions.
B.A stressful situation.
C.A study on relieving emotional stress.
D.Reflecting on yourself objectively.
【2】Which of the following statement uses the techniques of self-distancing?
A.I’m angry with him.
B.How did these two people get to this point?
C.How I wish I could go back to the past!
D.He grabbed my notes，and then，and then…
【3】What is the best title for the passage?
A.Why Self-distancing Matters
B.The Disadvantages of Self-distancing
C.Breaking the Cycle of Negative Reflection
D.Ways to Reflect on Emotional Reactions

Researchers in China have explained why basking (沐浴)in the sun can make people smart. It is known to everybody that the sun is very important and nothing in the world can survive 【1】it. Science has already proved that sunny days can help 【2】(strong) a person’s mood, intelligence and memory.
A team at the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei, Anhui province discovers that UV light, an element of sunshine, makes a change in the brain that can make 【3】(we) smarter.
Tests on mice show that moods and learning can be improved due to enough exposure to UV light, according to Xiong Wei, 【4】professor at the university 's School of Life Sciences who led the study.

Exposure to UV light 【6】(increase) the level of a substance in blood, which reacts with brain cells 【7】(promote) functions such as learning and memory. Xiong says previous research has 【8】(actual) found that this substance will change in our body and do good to our 【9】(fit), but this is the first time that it has been showed that the process can happen in the brain, which is a finding 【10】surprises the team.

【题目】How to Shine at a Job Interview
The smart job seeker needs to get rid of several standard myths about interviewing before starting to look for a job. 【1】
Myth 1: The aim of an interview is to obtain the job offer.
Only half true. The only aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want. 【2】 Unfit job seekers, however, become so used to meeting employers' expectation that they often easily accept jobs that they don't want. So before you work for an employer, be sure you want the job.
Myth 2: Try to control the interview.
Nobody “control” an interview - neither you or the interviewer - although one or both parties often try. Then it becomes a fake exchange between two human beings; no business deal is likely to be made. Remember, you can't control what employers think of you, just as they can't control what you think of them. So hang loose when interviewing: 【3】
Myth 3: 【4】
Study the effective conversationalists: They interrupt and were interrupted. An exciting conversation always makes us feel, free - free to interrupt, free to disagree ? to agree enthusiastically. We feel comfortable with people who allow us to be natural. Employers will either like or dislike you, but at least you will have made an impression. And the way to make an effective impression is to feel free to be yourself, which frees your interviewers to be themselves.
Myth 4: Always be well groomed and dress yourself fashionably.
Only half true. 【5】 However, some interviewers might not appreciate the way you “decorate” yourself or, possibly, the positions you are applying for would require more reserved personalities, which, to some interviewers, can be revealed from your appearance. Therefore, the more cautious solution would be to keep to the happy medium - neither appear too “modern” nor too “conservative”.
A.Never interrupt the interviewer.
B.It is good to appear clear and neat or well-groomed when you go to an interview.
C.Thus, the job seeker finds an ideal job.
D.Never dominate the interview.
E.That often means rejecting the job offers you don't want.
F.You are expected to respect each other.
G.Here are some untruths and tips to help you do your best at your interview.
