Once in the water, he held his head up for one last look. And then he was gone. The wayward emperor penguin (21)_ (kno
2、w) as “Happy Feet” was back home in Antarctic waters after a temporary stay in New Zealand.Happy Feet was released into the ocean south of New Zealand on Sunday, more than two months after he came ashore on a beach nearly 2,000 miles from home and became an instant celebrity. (22)_ (speak) from a sa
3、tellite phone, Wellington Zoo veterinarian Lisa Argilla said Happy Feets release went remarkably smoothly. Argilla said crew members from the boat carried the penguin inside his box to the rear part of the ship for his final send-off.(23)_ when they opened the door of the box, the penguin showed no
4、interest in leaving.“I needed to give him a little tap on his back,” Argilla said.The penguin slipped down the slide on his stomach, bottom first, she said. He resurfaced about 6 feet from the boat, (24)_ (take) a look up at the people aboard, and then disappeared beneath the surface.“I was really h
5、appy to see him go,” Argilla said. “The best part of my job is when you get to release animals back into the wild (25)_ they are supposed to be.”The 3-foot-tall bird was found on June 20 on Peka Peka Beach, about 40 miles northwest of New Zwalands capital, Wellington. It has been 44 years (26)_ an e
6、mperor penguin was last spotted in the wild in New Zealand.At first, conservation authorities said they would wait and let nature take its course with the penguin. But it soon became clear the birds condition was growing (27)_ (bad), as he swallowed sand and, likely mistaking it for snow.(28)_ the w
7、orld watching, authorities finally took action, moving the penguin to the Wellington Zoo four days after he was discovered. It was at the zoo (29)_ the bird was given a home in a room filled with a bed of ice so he wouldnt overheat.Now that Happy Feet (30)_ (nurse) back to health, his chances are as
8、 good as they are for any other penguin in the wild.“He swam away, not caring about us anymore,” Argilla said.She paused.“And that is a good thing,” she said.Section BA. shrinking B. undergo C. presently D. plantations E. satisfyingF. innovative G. encourage H. stocks I. notably J. invasive K. impac
9、tsIs climate change consuming your favorite foods?Coffee: Whether or not you try to limit yourself to one cup of coffee a day, the effects of climate change on the worlds coffee-growing regions may leave you little choice. South America, Africa, Asia, and Hawaii are all being threatened by rising ai
10、r temperatures and unstable rainfall patterns, which invite disease and _32_ species to live on the coffee plant and ripening beans. The result? Significant cuts in coffee yield and less coffee in your cup. It is estimated that, if current climate patterns continue, half of the areas _33_ suitable f
11、or coffee production wont be by the year 2050.Tea: When it comes to tea, warmer climates and unstable quantity of water falling to earth arent only _34_ the worlds tea-growing regions, theyre also messing with its distinct flavor. For example, in India, the Indian Monsoon has brought more intense ra
12、infall, making tea flavor weaker. Recent research coming out of the University of Southampton suggests that tea-producing areas in some places, _35_ East Africa, could decline by as much as 55 percent by 2050 as the quantity of water falling to earth and temperatures change. Tea pickers are also fee
13、ling the _36_ of climate change. During harvest season, increased air temperatures are creating an increased risk of heatstroke for field workers.Seafood: Climate change is affecting the worlds aquaculture as much as its agriculture. As air temperatures rise, oceans and waterways absorb some of the
14、heat and _37_ warming of their own. The result is a decline in fish population, including in lobsters (who are cold-blooded creatures), and salmon (whose eggs find it hard to survive in higher water temperature). Warmer waters also _38_ toxic marine bacteria, like Vibrio, to grow and cause illness i
15、n humans whenever ingested with raw seafood, like oysters or sashimi.And that _39_ “crack” you get when eating crab and lobster? It could be silenced as shellfish struggle to build their calcium(碳) carbonate shells, a result of ocean acidification (absorb carbon dioxide from the air). According to a
16、 study, scientists predicted that if over-fishing and rising temperature trends continued at their present rate, the worlds seafood _40_ would run out by the year 2050.III. Reading ComprehensionSection AMichael Wang was a senior at James Logan High School, US, back in 2012. According to The New York
17、er, he was confident that he could get into an Ivy League university, such as Harvard or Yale. He had a high GPA, _41_ at debating and co-founded a math club. He was also a talented pianist. _42_, his dream universities turned him down. His less talented classmates, who were Hispanic or African-Amer
18、ican, were admitted into these schools. It made him wonder if he was _43_ because he was Asian.On Oct 15, a lawsuit against Harvard brought on behalf of Asian-American students like Wang began. Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA), a US non-profit organization, _44_ Harvard for using racial balancing
19、 in their admissions process. Harvard has denied the _45_. The university says that it considers many factors when _46_ whether a student should be admitted, including academic performance and extracurricular activities. Harvard added that the number of Asian-Americans admitted to the school had gre
20、atly increased since 2010. “Race alone is never the reason a student is _47_ admission,” William Lee, a lawyer for Harvard, told the Guardian. “And race is never the reason a student is denied.”Harvard is not the only university to have been accused of _48_ against Asian-Americans. In September, the
21、 US Justice Department began to _49_ whether Yale University discriminates against Asian-Americans. The case has _50_ a longstanding debate over affirmative action policies(平权法案政策) that allow universities to use race as a factor when considering applications. The policies _51_ benefit African-Americ
22、an and Latino students in an effort to make up for centuries of racial discrimination, according to Time magazine. According to The New York Times, the SFFA wants the use of race in the admissions process to be ended, _52_ that it causes inequality. “People should be judged on character and _53_,” H
23、owever, in a statement, Harvard said that _54_ the race criterion would “reduce students opportunities to live and learn in a diverse campus environment”.Although the case has just begun, the _55_ judgment “could influence admissions to US universities for years to come,” according to Al Jazeera, a

During his life, London worked at many jobs. His
27、broad life experiences would become the background for his writing.London loved to read. As a teenager, he spent many hours educating himself at the Oakland, California, public library.

28、keley was “not lively enough” and wanted to do something more exciting.London wrote stories about working people and the hard times they had making a living. He knew their problems first hand.

Later he sailed to Japan on a schooner, which is a much larger sailing boat. Like many people of the time, London caught the Klondike Gold Rush
30、 Fever. In 1897, he headed for Alaska. He didnt find gold, but he discovered something even more valuable.

45、 the ignorance of those who practice it, and those who inconsiderately form a judgment of them, it is now far behind all the other arts. Their mistake appears to me to arise principally from the fact that there is no punishment for the practice of medicine except disgrace, and that does not hurt tho
46、se who are familiar with it. Such persons are like the figures introduced in tragedies, for as they have the shape, and dress, and appearance of an actor, but are not actors, so also physicians are many in title but very few in reality.Whoever is to acquire a competent knowledge of medicine ought to
47、 possess the following advantages: a natural character; instruction; a favorable position for the study; early tuition; love of labor; leisure. First of all, a natural talent is required, for Nature leads the way to what is most excellent; then instruction in the art takes place, which the student must try to adopt by reflection, becoming an early pupil in a place well adapted for instruction. He must also bring to the task
