B I recently spent two years in the Arctic(北 极) filming the series The Blue Planet. I love being in an environment that has changed for 20,000 years. Of course, it􀆳s freezing, but it must be a healthy place because you never catch colds. When I􀆳m filming,I like to really feel how lonely the environment is. Filming underwater involves cutting through thick ice and diving in tied to a line. The person at the other end has to be ready to pull you out fast if necessary. Originally I was a research diver for the British Antarctic Survey project,but for me sci- ence lacked excitement. I􀆳d always enjoyed photography,and whenever camera teams passed through, they encouraged me to watch and learn. I was then able to move into filming in 1985 and have concentrated on Arctic and Ant- arctic wildlife ever since. I prefer face to face with the animals I􀆳m filming. I haven􀆳t got into the water with killer whales yet,but I plan to. Of course,it􀆳s danger- ous if you choose the wrong moment. They are big animals and can move fast,so I􀆳d be stupid to film them searching for food. I􀆳ve never had problems with polar bears, although once I was frightened when one tried to get into my tent. Polar bears are bold, clever and dangerous. But I made this one see I wasn􀆳t about to attack it—I􀆳m sure it realized I wouldn􀆳t hurt it. When I came back home from my trips,I work in the mornings and spend the afternoons swimming to keep fit. Now I􀆳m fifty,and filming is harder. The challenge for me is to continue to deliver high-quality work. ( 　 　 )25.

At ＄ 29. 95 each,not like the expen- sive GPS systems,or with TrackR Pack purchase deals,you can􀆳t afford not to have one! Install(安装) the free TrackR app on your smartphone. Connect the app to your device and then you are ready to go! Simply attach the TrackR to whatever you don􀆳t want to lose. The entire process of setting it up only takes 5 mi- nutes or less. If you have the hard TrackR,you can just hide it under your car􀆳s floor mat,in the trunk or somewhere it won􀆳t be found if your car gets sto- len. If you forget where you parked your car, take out your smartphone and open the TrackR app. Tap on the “lost item” icon on the screen and the app will tell you exactly where it is. You can also attach it to your pet. Put it on their collar,and the problem of searching for them as they run off to nearby places will be o- ver! Attach it to your keys and wallet,and never waste a minute searching the whole house for it. The affordable TrackR even comes with a doub- le-sided adhesive(黏合剂)so you can stick it to your laptop or under your bike seat. Track down the thieves who steal your expensive things! The convenience and the ability to find ac- tually any object means that the TrackR is one of the most useful articles that you􀆳ll find for any price. However, the best thing it can give is peace of mind,and it doesn􀆳t get any better than that. 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 99 (　 　 )28.

TrackR—your item protector D. TrackR—your financial manager D The oddness of life in space never quite goes away. Here are some examples. First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out,they float free in zero gravi- ty,often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny ballet ( 芭蕾) dancer. “ I􀆳m an inside guy,” Mike Hopkins says,who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Sta- tion. “I like to be wrapped up. ” On the station, the ordinary becomes strange. The exercise bike for the American as- tronauts has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, it􀆳s just as easy to pedal vio- lently. You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravity to help circulate air,the carbon dioxide you exhale (呼气) has a tendency to form an invisible (隐 形的)cloud around your head. You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide head- ache. Leroy Chiao,54,an American retired astro- naut after four flights,describes what happens e- ven before you float out of your seat,“ Your in- ner ear thinks you􀆳re falling. Meanwhile your eyes are telling you you􀆳re standing straight. That can be annoying—that􀆳s why some people feel sick. ” Within a couple of days —truly ter- rible days for some —astronauts􀆳 brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner ear, and space sickness disappears. Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous. For instance,as- tronauts lose bone mass. That􀆳s why exercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) puts it right on the workday schedule. The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronaut healthy. 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 100 UNIT 2　检测卷　 NASA is worried about two things:recovery time once astronauts return home, and, more impor- tantly,how to maintain strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round-trip to Mars.

Be it a scien- tist, a writer, an artist, or a cook, all of them share one thing in common—that is creativity. 36. 　 　 　 　 　 　 Well,this is a rather diffi- cult question with no direct answer. Of course, there is no course on creativity and certainly creativity can􀆳t be taught in schools or colleges. However,those who are creative have an a- bility to perceive things around them in different ways than other people. 37. 　 　 　 　 　 　 So,if you are ready to change your way of loo- king at life and perceive things around you in a different way,you may become creative as well. 38. 　 　 　 　 　 　 This is common be- cause people usually are resistant (抗拒的) to anything new. They prefer things the way they 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 101 are. If you come up with an idea that opposes their belief,they might get resistant and criticize (指责) you. Though feedback and criticism are good,most of the time,criticism can make you discouraged and you may give up easily. 39. 　 　 　 　 　 　 Besides, you should limit your resources and tools that will help you to produce creative outputs,because limiting resources forces you to create things with whatever is available in your hands. 40. 　 　 　 　 　 　 A. However,can creativity be ever taught? B. Well,what kind of people can be crea- tive? C. People might be against your ideas at first. D. Their brains received contradictory messages. E. And that is the quality that sets them apart from the crowd. F. Follow your own path,and you cannot let them take over your creativity. G. The fewer resources you have,the bet- ter you will learn to make good use of them. 第三部分　 语言知识运用(共两节,满分 30 分) 第一节　 完形填空(共 15 小题;每小题 1 分, 满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选 项。 It was 1933.

Today she was sure there would be some- thing. Myra wouldn􀆳t forget her mother􀆳s birth- day,even if she seldom wrote to her. Of course Myra was busy. Unluckily, Enid, the daughter the old lady loved most, died two years ago. Since then Myra had come to see her mother three times,but her husband,Harold,had never come. The old lady was eighty today. She had put on her best dress. Perhaps—perhaps Myra might come. She hadn􀆳t seen her for a long time and missed her very much. After all,eighty was a special birthday. Even if Myra did not come, she would send a present. The old lady was sure of that. Her face had lightened up because of happiness. She was excited like a child. She would enjoy her day. Yesterday Mrs. White,the cleaner,gave the flat an extra cleaning,and today she had brought a card and a bunch of flowers when she came to prepare the breakfast. The little boy,Johnnie, had been up with a packet of candies,and said he wouldn􀆳t go out to play until the post came. “ I guess you􀆳ll get lots and lots of presents,” he said. What would she receive? Maybe a pair of slippers or a new coat. A coat would be lovely. Blue is such a pretty colour. Or a table lamp,a book, a travel book with pictures, or a little clock with clear black numbers. So many lovely things. The old lady was smiling when she thought about this.

Tired and sad,she sat down in front of the house. “Where might my mother be?” she wondered. “Is she really so angry with me that she doesn􀆳t want to show any care for me?” Again,the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother,and she just realized that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot a- bout her. Tears rolled down her cheeks.
