LONDON-Britain made meteorological(气象学的)history on Tuesday when temperatures in some places topped40℃for the first time ever recorded in the United Kingdom.
It was a day of hot milestones(里程碑)in Britain,where in the morning the temperature was39.1℃,the highest level ever recorded in the United Kingdom.That record was broken about two hours later,when Britain’s national weather service said the temperature at Heathrow Airport hit40.2’℃.If confirmed,it would be the first time that the temperature in Britain had gone beyond40’℃.However,by the afternoon,the temperature hit40.3. The extreme weather brought great sufferings to the local people.
The hot,dry conditions also put great burden on emergency services.Fires spread in some areas of Britain and even other European countries.In France and Spain,firefighters have been battling wildfires that have burned forest and bush and in some places,forced people to leave.On Tuesday,more than2,000firefighters were facing off against a big fire in the southwest Britain that has forced37,000people to leave their homes this week.
In Britain,the government advised people to work from home,but for schools,to stay open-a request that some areas had ignored,sending students home.
Trains are particularly affected by high heat because the infrastructure(基础建设)-rails and overhead wires-is not built to deal with extremely hot work Rail,which operates the country’s rail system,issued a“do not travel”warning for trains in some areas.Several train companies said they planned to cancel all service running north from the capital.The London Underground,most of which does not have air conditioning.has also stopped some of its service.

C
Years ago,as a business reporter,I interviewed an advertising manager.I was there to ask about the latest campaign.But when I sat down,he wanted to talk about writing novels.
He spent hours meeting with clients(客户),but he dreamed of being a novelist instead.I remember thinking: Sure,everybody dreams to be a novelist.Who doesn’t?
A decade later,however,I was surprised to see the same person on TV,holding up his new book.James Patterson had developed into a best-selling author.He has since published more than100New York Times best sellers.
“I never thought of myself as an advertising person,”he told me when I asked how he’d done it.“I always planned to be a writer.”Mr.Patterson’s ability to sec himself as a writer shows a term(术语)“possible selves.”It describes how people envision their futures:what they may become,or want to become,etc.
The term,created in1986by the social psychologists Hazel Markus and Paula Nurius,grew out of research on self-concept and self-perception(自我知觉).While self-concepts,like“I am a kind person”or“I am a good parent”, are based on the present,the researchers found that people are also influenced by possible selves-what they might become in the future and how they might change.
These possible selves,both positive and negative,are closely related to motivation(动机).In a small study, when young adults were made to envision themselves as either regular exercisers(hoped-for selves)or inactive (feared selves),both groups exercised more in the weeks afterward.But researchers have found that imagining positive possible selves can improve health and reduce depression by holding out the hope for a better future.
A possible self can help you realize daydreams,which seem to be unrealistic,“if you build a bridge from your ‘now’self to the possible self,”Dr.Markus said.But how do we build that bridge?
8.What was the author’s attitude towards James Patterson’s dream at first?
A.Doubtful.
B.Curious.
C.Worried.
D.Disappointed.
9.What does the underlined word“envision”mean in the fourth paragraph?
A.Face.
B.Imagine.
C.Make.
D.Determine.
10.What can we learn about“possible self”from paragraphs5and6?
A.It is a necessity for a better future.
B.It refers to a person’s present behaviors.
C.Negative possible selves cannot inspire people.
D.Imagining positive possible selves can promote one’s health.
11.What will be talked about in the following paragraphs?
A.How a possible self can be of help.
B.How to connect“now”self and possible self.
C.What could be done to change one’s possible self.
D.What motivation is needed to have a positive self.
【答案】8.A9.B10.D11.B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

文章主要讲述了作者曾经采访一个广告经理，这位经理说自己想成为作家，多年后，这位经理真的梦想成真。

作者由此了解了一个专业术语“可能的自我”，每个人都会受到可能的自我的影响。

【8题详解】
推理判断题。

根据文章第二段“I remember thinking:Sure,everybody dreams to be a novelist.Who doesn’t?(我记得我当时想:当然，每个人都梦想成为小说家。

谁不？)”可推断，作者最初听到这位广告经理的梦想时感到怀疑。

故选A。

【9题详解】
词句猜测题。

根据划线单词下一句“what they may become,or want to become,etc.(他们可能成为什么，或者想成为什么，等等。

)”可知，下文是人们对自己未来的畅想。

选项A“Face(面对)”；选项B“Imagine(想象)”；选项C“Make(制作)”；选项D“Determine(决定)”。

故选B。

【10题详解】
推理判断题。

根据文章第六段“But researchers have found that imagining positive possible selves can improve health and reduce depression by holding out the hope for a better future.(但研究人员发现，想象积极可能的自我可以通过对更美好的未来抱有希望来改善健康和减少抑郁。

)”可知，想象积极的可能的自我对我们的健康有好处。

故选D。

【11题详解】
推理判断题。

根据文章最后一段“A possible self can help you realize daydreams,which seem to be unrealistic,“if you build a bridge from your‘now’self to the possible self,”Dr.Markus said.But how do we build that bridge?(“如果你在‘现在的’自己和‘可能的’自己之间架起一座桥梁，”Markus博士说，“一个可能的自我可以帮助你实现白日梦，而这些白日梦似乎是不现实的。

”但我们要如何搭建那座桥呢？)”可知，本段主要讲述的是如果在‘现在的’自己和‘可能的’自己之间架起一座桥梁，一个可能的自我可以帮助我们实现白日梦。

再根据最后一句“But how do we build that bridge?”可知，接下来文章将会介绍如何建立‘现在的’自己和‘可能的’自己之间的一座桥梁。

故选B。

D
Researchers in Australia and the US are starting a multi-million dollar project to bring the Tasmanian tiger, nicknamed thylacine(袋狼),back from extinction.The last known one died in1939.
The team say it can be recreated using stem cells(干细胞)and gene-editing(基因编辑)technology,and the first thylacine could be reintroduced to the wild in10years’time.They plan to take stem cells from a living species with similar DNA,and then use gene-editing technology to”bring back“the extinct species-or an extremely close one of it.
It would be a great achievement for the researchers attempting it,and require a number of scientific breakthroughs.
The population of Tasmanian tigers dropped when humans arrived in Australia tens of thousands of years ago, and again when dingoes-a species of wild dog-appeared.Eventually,the species only lived free on the island of Tasmania,and was finally hunted to extinction.
If scientists were to succeed,it would mark the first“de-extinction“event in history,but many outside experts doubt it,and believe that the project is more about media attention for the scientists and less about doing serious science.
The idea of bringing back the extinct has been around for more than20years.In1999,the Australian Museum started to pursue a project to clone the Tasmanian tiger,and various attempts have been made ever since to get or rebuild DNA from samples.The US firm made headlines last year with its plans to use similar gene editing technology to bring the woolly mammoth back to life-a technological achievement yet to be made.
12.Which of the following might be the major reason for thylacine’s extinction?
A.Habitat loss.
B.Climate change.
C.Human activities.
D.Wild dog protection.
13.What do many outside experts think of bringing back extinct thylacine?
A.It will make history.
B.It is particularly difficult.
C.It deserves greater attention.
D.It is more of a piece of eye-catching news.
14.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A.Future for bringing back the extinct.
B.Benefits of bringing back the extinct.
C.Previous efforts to bring back the extinct.
D.Technology needed to bring back the extinct.
15.In which column of a magazine can we read this passage?
A.Science and Technology.
B.History and Traditions.
C.Nature and Environment.
D.Culture and Society.
【答案】12.C13.D14.C15.A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。

文章主要介绍了澳大利亚和美国的研究人员正在开展一个项目：使用干细胞和基因编辑技术来重建袋狼。

【12题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第四段的“The population of Tasmanian tigers dropped when humans arrived in Australia tens of thousands of years ago,and again when dingoes-a species of wild dog-appeared.Eventually,the species only lived free on the island of Tasmania,and was finally hunted to extinction.(当数万年前人类来到澳大利亚时，塔斯马尼亚虎的数量下降了，当澳洲野狗(一种野狗)出现时，塔斯马尼亚虎的数量又下降了。

最终，这个物种只在塔斯马尼亚岛上自由生活，并最终被猎杀灭绝。

)”可知，塔斯马尼亚虎，也就是袋狼的灭绝的主要原因可能是人类活动。

故选C。

【13题详解】
细节理解题。

根据倒是第二段“If scientists were to succeed,it would mark the first“de-extinction“event in history,but many outside experts doubt it,and believe that the project is more about media attention for the scientists and less about doing serious science.(如果科学家们成功了，这将标志着历史上第一次“灭绝动物复活”事件，但许多外部专家对此表示怀疑，并认为该项目更多地是媒体对科学家的关注，而不是做严肃的科学研究。

)”可知，许多外部科学家认为恢复灭绝的袋狼更像是一条引人注目的新闻，故选D。

【14题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据最后一段的“The idea of bringing back the extinct has been around for more than20years.In
1999,the Australian Museum started to pursue a project to clone the Tasmanian tiger,and various attempts have been made ever since to get or rebuild DNA from samples.The US firm made headlines last year with its plans to use similar gene editing technology to bring the woolly mammoth back to life-a technological achievement yet to be made.(复活灭绝物种的想法已经存在了20多年。

1999年，澳大利亚博物馆开始进行一项克隆塔斯马尼亚虎的项目，从那以后，人们进行了各种尝试，从样本中获取或重建DNA。

去年，这家美国公司计划利用类似的基因编辑技术让长毛象复活，这一技术成就还有待实现。

)”可知，本段主要讲述了一些恢复灭绝物种的以前的努力，1999年，澳大利亚博物馆开始进行一项克隆塔斯马尼亚虎的项目，去年，美国公司计划利用类似的基因编辑技术让长毛象复活。

故选C。

【15题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第一段的“Researchers in Australia and the US are starting a multi-million dollar project to bring the Tasmanian tiger,nicknamed thylacine(袋狼),back from extinction.The last known one died in1939.(澳大利亚和美国的研究人员正在启动一项耗资数百万美元的项目，以拯救外号为袋狼的塔斯马尼亚虎，使其免于灭绝。

最后一个已知的人死于1939年。

)”以及下文内容可知，文章主要讲述介绍了澳大利亚和美国的研究人员正在开展一个项目：使用干细胞和基因编辑技术来重建袋狼。

因此推动最有可能来自科学技术栏目，故选A。
