10、 inspired by a family friends experience of pursuing a career in medicine as a child.

12、etinoic acid, white blood cells in patients with APL could become normal. Considering the difficulties and high cost of producing a drug made from 13-cis-retinoic acid, Wangs team decided to replace that ingredient with ATRA, and they finally verified its positive effect after several months experim

13、ents. In 1986, the drug was first adopted in treating a five-year-old patient. It turned out successful.

18、 clever team tactic (战术) before being killed. These astonishing pictures show how the sea predators work togetherand the technique provides meals for killer whales three out of every four times they use it, according to scientists.Research has also found that the mammalsaround 26ft in length and wei

19、ghing more than six tonscarefully kill the prey underwater，co-operating as they skin and dissect（解剖）the seals. Dr Robert Pitman，a marine scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in California, took the shocking images of the pod going in for the kill. He said, “The killer wha

20、les were very good at knowing in advance if they were going to be able to wash a seal off a floe（大浮冰）and they were always successful in getting the seal into the water. A couple of times the seal was washed off but managed to escape in the confusion, but not very often. From killer whale studies els

21、ewhere we expected this kind of social interaction but it was the canniness（精明）of their hunting tactics that blew us away.”Dr Pitman and his colleague Dr John Durban helped a BBC film crew capture their behaviour for the TV documentary series Frozen Planet, to be shown later this month. They spent w

22、eeks tracking and recording the hunting behaviour in the pack ice off the coast of the Antarctica Peninsula. The whales prefer Weddell seals, which can be up to 11 feet long, rather than the more aggressive crabeater and leopard seals. Dr Pitman told the Sunday Telegraph that the whales deal with se

27、s.C. Dr Robert Pitmans latest study. D.The special living habits of killer whales.DIn ancient times, our ancestors relied on stars to guide them on a clear night. Today, we have navigational systems to help us find our way, with the latest being the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS). The BDS

28、is entirely built by Chinese engineers. With the launch of the last satellite from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center on June 23, the global network of 59 satellites has been completed. On July 31, Beidou started providing full-scale global services. Its difficult to imagine the dramatic impact tho

29、se satellites, orbiting (绕运转) the Earth, have on our daily lives.When you unlock one of Hellobikes bicycles, you are using the BDS. The popular bike-sharing company came out with two new bike models this year that are equipped with the positioning service. “The intelligent lock on each bike receives

30、 Beidou satellite signals and sends positioning information to the data center, which will help collect big data on the bikes and estimate users riding demands in advance according to the data,” Chu Yiqun, a manager of Hellobike told Xinhua News Agency. Users can also find shared bikes more accurate

31、ly thanks to Beidous global positioning accuracy of 2.34 meters.However, the BDS doesnt just work one way. As the countrys largest space-based system and one of four global navigation networks, along with the United States GPS, Russias GLONASS and the European Unions Galileo, Beidou adopts a unique

32、two-way communication system, including its ability to receive messages sent by people from areas with poor communication signals. Obviously, this exclusive function isnt designed for users to chat online. Instead, it plays a role when disasters occur and communications are blocked.After the Wenchua

33、n earthquake in 2008, all ground-based communication facilities were interrupted. Though the first generation of Beidou could only send 120 characters in a single message at that time, communication between affected areas and rescue centers was successful. Now, Beidous messaging capacity has been in

34、creased to 1,200 Chinese characters in a single message. It is widely used in disaster alarms, automatic identification and information release.As Sun Jiadong, former chief designer of the BDS said: “The application of Beidou is merely limited by imagination.”32. What can we know about Beidou from t

35、he passage?A. Its able to provide worldwide coverage for navigation.B. Its last satellite was launched in Xichang on July 31. C. Its one of the five global navigation networks.D. Its jointly developed by Chinese and foreign engineers.33. Why is Hellobike mentioned in paragraph 3?A. To present the be

36、nefits and limitations of the BDS.B. To highlight the high positioning accuracy of the BDS.C. To show how the BDS makes peoples daily lives easier.D. To explain the unique way in which the BDS works.34. What is the function of Beidous two-way communication system?A. To collect instant feedback sent

37、by global users.B. To allow users to chat online more conveniently.C. To make communication more fun and efficient.D. To help people when communication signals are weak. 35. What do Sun Jiadongs words in the last paragraph imply?A. Beidou stimulates users imagination.B. Beidou may be more helpful th

38、an we know.C. Beidou is currently limited in application.D. Beidou needs to be further perfected.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。One of the most fundamental changes brought about in the last decade is the rise of remote learning. With the global climate crisis and

39、health pandemics, remote learning has become even more relevant today. Schools, universities and corporates can continue affording education and training by remote technology in the time of social distancing due to the COVID-19 crisis. 36 Learn Anywhere, AnytimeGone is the need to be on campus at a

40、specific time of day and remain there for the duration of numerous classes. 37 More importantly, it has also made learning a practical choice for many rural communities who are unable to travel the vast distances to school every day and to remote teams working for companies located afar. 38 When it

41、comes to learning, one size doesnt fit all. People have varied learning styles that change depending on the nature of the content they are trying to absorb. E-Learning allows learners to personalize their education, focusing on areas that need greater attention in more detail. Also, rather than bein

42、g a one-way path where the learner listens and takes in information, online training means that learners can pursue areas that interest them in more detail.Better EngagementKeeping learners engaged throughout the training is one of the key struggles. One of the strengths of E-Learning is the diverse

43、 nature in which the course content is delivered. 39 Some online learning communities allow trainers to provide multimedia recording to make training more engaging. With the game engine, they also have the option to gamify content and include rewards once sections are completed for young employees a

44、nd fresh graduates who might have just passed out from school and are still transitioning to the corporate world. 40 A. Nearly 30 percent of learners, or more than six million students, having taken at least one course online.B. Learn more in detailC. E-Learning gives people the flexibility to be ab

45、le to learn at home, anytime they want.D. Personalized Learning ExperienceE. Quizzes, polls(投票), and discussion boards also mean trainees get to discuss content and interact with one another.F. Learners are now used to and expect interactivity.G. Overall, there are a few core reasons to opt (选择) for
