AWhy we love dinosaursIt’s no secret that kids love dinosaurs. Many of them have ever gone through what’s called a “dinosaur phase” - a period of tim e when they can’t stop talking about dinosaurs, can’t sleep without hearing a dinosaur bedtime story, and use a backpack with a dinosaur pattern on it.Adults may have long grown out of their dinosaur phase, but somehow the appeal is still there.The p roof in the success of Steven Spielberg’s 1993 film Jurassic Park，and every following installment of the series. And in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom，which was released in Chinese mainland cinemas on June 15, these ancient beasts are taking over the modern world once again.National Geographic has an explanation behind the animal’s popularity: Dinosaurs are “where science and imagination meet”, which is probably what makes them so appealing, to kids and adults alike.Dinosaurs are often compared to dra gons, but are seen as cooler because they’re real. The huge skeletons in museums prove their existence millions of years ago on the same Earth that we now live on. Meanwhile, new discoveries have been made in different parts of the world that open up a bigger picture of these ancient species. And how they went extinct is also a popular subject of scientific studies.However, we still seem to know so little about dinosaurs, and have to rely on our imagination when it comes to questions like “How did they live?”, “What did they sound like?” and “How fast could they run?”. It’s this sense of mystery that adds to dinosaurs’ attraction compared to other fierce animals like lions and tigers - animals that can be seen in today’s zoos.But there’s more to this d inosaur appeal.According to Guardian reporter Brian Switek, humans are fascinated by dinosaurs not just because we’re interested in their history, but also because we’re trying to have a better understanding of human history.“Dinosaurs can be Hollywood monsters, objects of scientific fascination and everything in between, but at the root of it, our fascination with them st ems from wanting to know more about the prehistory we share,” he wrote.“The dinosaur story is part of our own.”21.The author mentioned the Jurassic Park series mainly to ____________.A.introduce the latest movie in the seriesB.show its influence on other dinosaur moviesC.prove dinosaurs’ attraction to peopleD.give a clear picture of what dinosaurs are like22.Why are dinosaurs so attractive to people, according to the article?A.They’re huge and powerful.B.They look like dragons.C.They’re real yet mysterious.D.They carry our childhood memories.23.According to Switek, our interest in dinosaurs comes from __________.A.our wish to become stronger.B.our worries about the future of humansC.the pleasure of using our imaginationD.our curiosity about our own historyBTry to live in the momentYesterday, I was sitting by the window of my house above the bay, watching different groups of tourists stop to take photos.They headed to the top of the hill to take photos of the coast - most likely to share them on social media.The members of the group usually stood with their backs to the bay with big smiles on their faces as if to say,“ Look at us: we are here, and you are not.”What surprised me was this: Of all people I saw, only a few actually seemed to be “present”. Most seemed content to take a shot and get back on the road.There were exceptions, however. Four or five young couples, perhaps newlywed, arrived throughout the day and, after taking the usual selfie, spent quite a lot of time gazing, not at the view, but into each other’ s eyes.I have no problem with that.Also, an older couple sat on a bench holding hands, studying the horizon. I couldn’t see their faces, but I hoped they were smiling and not trying to remember how to get back to their hotel.My favorite exception was a boy, who looked about 7. he stood alone on a rock with his arms stretched wide and stared out at the ocean, possibly imagining all his wildest dreams coming true.A woman, maybe his mother, made him join her for a photo. Then, he went back to staring until it was time to go. Whatever he saw, he probably won’t need a photo to remember it.Most of us spend a lot of time looking at electronic screens, seeing the world on tiny displays.These small screens help us stay connected to the people we love, but they can also make us miss things that are important.The screens themselves aren’t really the problem, but how we use them - or allow them to use us.I’m not saying we should give these screens up completely - how else would we keep in touch?But sometimes, it’s such a pleasure to set them aside and stand like a child by the ocean, with eyes, arms and heart wide open.Indeed, there’s a name for that kind of pleasure - it’s called being alive.24.What surprised the author when she was watching tourists from the window of her house?A.Most of them stayed there for a long time.B.Most of them weren’t truly enjoying the s cenery.C.They were all showing off their experiences on social media.D.They were amazed by what they saw at the bay.25.Why did the author like the 7-year-old boy most?A.He seemed to have the wildest dreams.B.He helped the old couple to find their way back.C.He was completely taken over by the view.D.He asked his mother to join him for photos.26.What is the author’s advice on being alive?A.Make good use of electronic screens all the time.B.Appreciate every moment of your daily life.C.Keep family members company as much as possible.D.Free yourself from electronic products at times to enjoy the present.CHigh-tech poetryWhat is poetry?For many of us, it’s something that lives on the dusty end of the bookshelf, inside the collections of Homer and George Byron; something that is hard to understand and almost impossible to relate on.But there’s a new generation of writers, who are redefining this art form by taking it to social media platforms like Instagram, reminding us just how relevant （有现实意义的）and powerful poetry can actually be. Dubbed （称作）“Instapoets”, Indian-Canadian writer Rupi Kaur, 25, is one of them. By writing poems on Instagram, she has attracted over 2 million followers and has now published two poetry books, with both topping the New York Times Best Seller list. She writes about everything, but, most importantly, she writes in a language that people can actually understand. About being confident, for example, she wrote: “ If you are not enough for yourself/ you will never be enough/ for someone else.” A nd about fighting against gender inequality, she wrote: “ Bring your hammer and fists/ we have a glass ceiling to shatter（击碎）/ let’s leave this place roofless.”“ I’m writing for the generation that’s reading my work,” Kaur told The Economist. “ I’m not talking down to them; I’m having the same experiences as them.”This sense of intimacy（亲近感）- which is the opposite to the usually condescending（居高临下的）attitude that traditional poetry has - is probably why Instapoets are so popular today. According to global information company the NPD Group, last year, 47 percent - almost half - of poetry books sold in the US were the works of Instapoets, and as many as 12 of the top 20 best-selling poetry writers were Instapoets.But there are criticisms that the poems by Instapoets are so simple that they don’t qualify as “real” literature - just like when US singer-songwriter Bob Dylan was given the Nobel Prize in literature in 2016, and when this year’s Pulitzer Prize for music went to Kendrick Lamar, a US rapper.However, the popularity of Instapoets isn’t surprising to Kaur at all. “ Good art will always break boundaries,” she told the Los Angeles Times.In fact, Kaur knows all about “serious” poetry, as she studied English literature at school. But she still ch ose to keep her poems simple. “ I want readers to open up this book, start the poem, and from beginning to end I want their reading experience to be simple,” she told CBS News. “ But when they finish that poem, I want theirstomach to turn.”And as so many things have evolved long with technology - communication and shopping, to name two - who’s to say that literature shouldn’t evolve along with it?27.What do we know about Rupi Kaur?A.She has now published three poetry books.B.She learned English literature by herself.C.She believes good art is without borders.D.She has created a new way of writing poems.28.Works by Instapoets are so popular mainly because______________.A.people can easily relate to themB.they usually deal with important social issuesC.they can be written in any language we likeD.it’s easy to share them on social media platforms29.Some people criticize poems by Instapoets because they think__________.A.They mislead people’s language usageB.They provide a bad reading experienceC.They might be a threat to traditional poetryD.Instapoetry is too simple to be an art form30.What is the author’s attitude toward poems by Instapoets?A. PositiveB. UnconcernedC. WorriedD. Negative第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白的最佳选项。
