23、idea was to boil down great books to a sentence each. “Moby-Dick“ by American writer Herman Melville, fbr instance, was reduced to: A whale of a tale about the one that got away. As it turned out, the joke was on us. How could a single sentence convey the essence of a masterpiece with over five hund

27、n be, should be, measured by the efficient uptake of key ideas.No, no, no. Whats best about reading books is its inefficiency. When reading a book, we need to dive in, let it take over us, demand something of us, teach us what it can. Blinkist is instead a service that changes books for people who d

31、e concerned about climate change today.The Amazon River basin covers much of central South America, across which are archaeological sites where ancient people left their mark on the land. And patches。、块）of strangely fertile soil dot the landscape at many of these sites. Its darker in color than surr
32、ounding soils and richer in carbon.The industrial world has long viewed the Amazon as a vast wilderness one that was mostly untouched before Europeans showed up. One reason for this idea was that the soil there is nutrient-poor. But a large number of ancient finds in recent decades has been turning
33、that idea on its head. Plenty of evidence now shows that people were shaping the Amazon for thousands of years before Europeans arrived. Ancient city centers have been found in modern-day Bolivia, for instance.To find out more, Perron, an Earth scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
34、in Cambridge, became part of a team that reviewed interviews with Kuikuro people, who reported making dark Earth using ash, food scraps and controlled burns. They call the product eegepe.The researchers also collected soil samples and found that there were striking similarities“ between dark Earth s
35、amples from ancient and modern sites. Both were far less acidic than the soils around them and also contained more plant-friendly nutrients.The soil samples also revealed that on average, dark Earth holds twice as much carbon as the soil around it. Infrared（红夕卜线的）scans in one Brazil region suggest t
36、he area holds many pockets of this dark Earth, which may store up to about 9 million tons of carbon that scientists have overlooked, Perrons team says. Thats about as much carbon as a small, developed country emits per year.Figuring out the true amount will require more data/ says Antoinette Winkler
37、 Prins, a geographer working at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md. Still, the new research could offer insights into the Amazons past and future/12.

39、e and contained more carbon than surrounding soils.C. It was highly acidic and nutrient-poor.D. It was only found at ancient archaeological sites.14.

40、is evidence of a highly advanced civilization that lived in the Amazon.C. It can be used to grow crops in the nutrient-poor soil of the Amazon.D.

41、farming using advanced techniques.B , The Amazon River basin was inhabited and cultivated by ancient people.C.

42、ral incidents in recent years where people died because of unsafe crowd conditions and stampedes （人群的蜂拥）,the latest one unfolding in Seoul, South Korea, with at least 155 deaths reported. This may leave some people thinking theres little you can do to survive a stampede. 16 But crowd-safety experts
43、say there are several strategies that could help you avoid a potentially deadly outcome. Consider these steps below:The key to staying safe in a crowd begins as soon as you arrive at the location, says Randy Atlas, a safety consultant based in Fort Lauderdale. 17 Its a piece of common sense advice t
44、hat Atlas applies not just at big events, but even when entering almost any room.If theres a sudden panic and crowds begin to push in a certain direction, your instinct （本能）may be to fight back and push the opposite way. 18 If you go against the flow, you increase your chances of getting tripped and
45、 knocked down. Another risk, according to experts: If you fight the crowd, you will tire yourself out quickly in a situation where energy is needed.As you move forward with the crowd, its best to move in a diagonal （对角线的） direction so you can potentially angle your way out of the situation. The goal
46、 is to get to the edge of the stampede where its less likely that youll end up stuck at a choke-point, like a doorway.19 Look for a solid structure to stand behind such as a pillar or a wall. Other places to duck: behind a car or even a lamp post.In many stampede events, people die simply because th
47、ey are crushed to the point they cant breathe. But a possible way to avoid this is to place your arms in front of you, almost in a boxer-like position. That could give you some very valuable breathing room, literally. 20A. To shelter yourself is, indeed, another potential way.B. But that could be a
48、big mistake, Atlas warns.C. In this case, you dont necessarily have to wait and let time slip by.D. Namely, to take note of where the nearest exits are.E. Its simple, but surprisingly effective and possibly life-saving.F. Furthermore, events like Halloween gathering, are likely to turn deadly.G. Indeed, its a frightening situation and circumstances may make it impossible to escape.三、完形填空Bom in 1992 into an ethnic Yao family in Yizhang county, Hunan province, Jiang9s world has been 21 since she was 6 months old, when medicine she was given completely damaged her hearing.When s
