Where to eat in Malaysia
Malaysia offers a wide range of food choices, ranging from fine dining to street food. Elsewhere, restaurants and food stalls are readily available.
Old China Cafe
Eating here is a little like dining in a museum as the walls are lined with photos and memorabilia of the local Chinese laundryman's association. Chinese and Asian dishes keep regulars and travellers coming back for more. The menu changes monthly.
San Pedro
This restaurant serves Portuguese cuisine. Try the baked fish (seabass or red snapper), curry debal chicken (can be quite spicy), fried brinjals and the black pepper crabs. Call ahead to reserve a table (and your fish), because once their fish runs out, they will close for the day.
The Bungalow
Facing the hotel pool and the beach, this restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. At night, the atmosphere is very romantic. The Chinese menu concentrates on traditional Hainanese dishes, but includes dishes such as fish curry, chicken rice and filet mignon.
No. 7 Sup Corner
Even if you miss this buffet-style restaurant at the road bend, you will not miss the number of cars parked at the road shoulder or the locals heading to it during lunchtime. It serves Malay dishes. First get your plate of rice, and then take whatever you would like to eat. Present your food plate to the lady at the counter and pay for it. Closed on Fridays and during Ramadan. Come early as there's always a crowd outside.
21. What do Old China Cafe and the Bungalow have in common
A. They are based in hotels. B. They have seasonal set menus.
C. They have atmospheric settings. D. They adopt modern cooking methods.
22. Which restaurant serves western cuisine
A. Old China Cafe. B. No.7 Sup Corner. C. The Bungalow. D. San Pedro.
23. What do we know about No. 7 Sup Corner
A. It is inconveniently located. B. It is a self-service restaurant.
C. It requires a restaurant booking. D. It opens every day except the weekends.
B
It's 1:30 am in Kenya's populated north, and 50 people are lying on their backs on the shore of a dried-up river, staring up at the night sky. These stargazers have travelled 250 miles to Samburu to witness the Perseid meteor shower (英仙座流星雨). They are not disappointed: Every few minutes, arrows of light shoot across the sky like silent fireworks.
The Star Safari is organised by a Kenyan astronomer, Susan Murabana, who has brought a 50 kg, 170 cm- long telescope to allow the group to view Mars and deep sky objects. But here in Samburu, where light pollution is minimal, the Perseid meteors visible with the naked eye (裸眼)- steal the show.
Every two months, Murabana and her husband load their telescope on to the roof of their 4X4 and set off to rural communities, where they give up to 300 children a chance to view the planets and learn about constellations (星座) and the basics of astrophysics. They primarily targets schools in remote areas because of her mission to give girls an opportunity that she wishes had been available to her.
“When I started this work, I didn't see people who looked like me. I was a lone ranger and I wanted to change that,” says Murabana.
“There is a common misconception in Kenya that astronomy in general is hard, boring, and only for boys,” she adds. “I'd like to teach young girls that astronomy is neither of these things and that they, too, can become astronomers,” says Murabana. Murabana's passion for astronomy began in her early 20s when her uncle invited her to join a similar outreach session organized by the Cosmos Education.“That was a gamechanger. If an outreach group had come to me when I was a young teenager, my attitude towards a career in astronomy would have been positive. I ended up studying sociology and economics, but maybe I would have desired to be an astronomer," she says.
Inspired by the Cosmos Education, Murabana completed an online master's degree in astronomy with the James Cook University in 2011 and set up her own outreach programme. She looked to Dr Mae Jemison, the first black woman in space, as a role model. “I hope that one day, through this work, I will spark a chain reaction that leads to the first African woman
in space.
24. What do the underlined words “steal the show” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Ruin the effort. B. Face the challenge. C. Attract more attention. D. Keep the promise.
25. Why does Murabana target girl students in remote areas
A. To help them out of poverty. B. To inspire their love of astronomy.
C. To look for assistants for her work. D. To give them an edge over boys in studies.
26. What can we learn about Murabana from paragraph 6
A. She enjoyed playing games. B. She longed to be an astronomer.
C. She is an initiator of Cosmos Education. D. She regretted not taking astronomy earlier.
27. What s the passage mainly about
A. The birth of a Kenyan woman astronomer.
B. The prejudice against girls in rural Kenyan.
C. The Kenyan astronomer bringing astronomy to the people.
D. The Kenyan stargazers watching the Perseid meteors shower.
C
Often overlooked as a nuisance (讨厌)，pigeons are actually highly intelligent animals. In a study, 24 pigeons were shown different stimuli, like lines of different width and placement, as well as sectioned rings. Each bird had to peck (啄) a button on the right or left to decide which category they belonged to. If they got it correct, they got food; if they got it wrong, they got nothing.
“Pigeons don't need a rule," said Brandon Turner, lead author of the study. Instead they learn through trial and error. For example, when they were given a visual, say“category A”, anything that looked close to that they also classified as “category A".
Over the course of the experiments, pigeons improved their ability to make right choices from 55% to 95% of the time when it came to some of the simpler tasks. Presented with a more complex challenge, their accuracy went up from 55% to 68%.
“Using more humble animals like pigeons, we can test how far they can go with a mind that is solely or mostly associative,” said Turner. “This paper shows how incredibly strong associative systems can be, how true cognition-like (认知) they are.
In an AI model, the main goal is to recognize patterns and make decisions. Pigeons, as research shows, can do the same. When not given food, pigeons have a remarkable ability to correct their errors. Similarity function is also at play for pigeons, by using their ability to find resemblance (相似) between two objects.
“With just those two mechanisms alone, you can define a neural network or an artificial intelligent machine to basically solve these categorization problems,” said Turner. “It stands to reason that the mechanisms that are present in the AI are also present in the pigeon.”
The researchers now aim to co-operate with scientists who study pigeons and their brains. They are hoping that these findings can have practical applications in better understanding human brain damage.“ Maybe we can get some further insight into what is going on in that little bird brain,” said Turner.
28. What task did researchers set for pigeons
A. Identify similarities. B. Select food. C. Tell right from left. D. Do simple calculation.
29. How did pigeons improve accuracy in the experiment
A. By working with fellow pigeons. B. By turning to AI technology.
C. By learning from consequences. D. By observing others' behaviour.
30. What's the finding of the study
A. Pigeons use toolset to complete complex tasks.
B. Pigeons may be able to decide on their reflection.
C. Pigeons problem solve similarly to artificial intelligence.
D. Pigeons can use AI to recognize resemblance between objects.
31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning the study
A. Its appeal to the public. B. Expectations for future studies.
C. Its underlying logic. D. Scientists with new perspectives.
D
We may weep for the dodo, but could and should we bring this lovely bird back from the dead De-extinction is the science of restoring lost species and it has been in the news for decades.
The story in modern times began in 1990 when Michael Crichton published his science fiction novel Jurassic Park, in which he imagined a world where scientists were able to bring dinosaurs back to life. Crichton imagined that polymerase chain reaction ( PCR) technology could be a way to amplify (放大) tiny quantities of dinosaur DNA and thus build a living embryo.
Sadly, biologists soon realized that DNA in fact breaks down super fast; even after 100 years, DNA from museum skins of dodos was decayed (腐烂) beyond repair. They could be sequenced (测定序列) using massive computational power, but then only with considerable uncertainty. And even if you capture a DNA sequence, there's still the problem of how you get living cells to read that sequence and express proteins that make the dinosaur or the dodo.
But why would anyone want to see mammoths, or something like them, roaming (漫游) present day Siberia Well, they were undoubtedly amazing beasts. As well as hunting them, our distant ancestors painted their likenesses in caves across Europe. Fascinating as they may be, there's some ecological justification for the project too.
It was this diversity of land surface, broken up by heavy limbs and randomly fertilized by faces (排泄物), that supported so much flora (植物群). Without the mammoths, that diversity disappeared. Return them and landscapes would once again be with a variety of species, including flowers and bushes.
True, it's not de extinction in the sense of bringing a long dead species back to life. Instead it's more like making a "dodo" by engineering a modern pigeon, its closest relative to become huge and lightless The result would be a big, fatty pigeon that, whether it looked like a dodo or not, would probably fulfil some of its ecological roles.
As a paleontologist, I would of course love to see living dinosaurs, mammoths and dodos. In some ways, though, I am relieved that the optimistic claims for cloning and genetic technologies have not been borne out. The slowdown gives us time to consider the outcomes and hopefully avoid some of Michael Crichton's more fevered imaginings.
32. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. A science fiction review. B. The development of DNA.
C. An inspired guess of de extinction. D. The application of PCR technology.
33. What's the barrier to cloning a living embryo
A. DNA is hard to keep for long. B. Computational power is limited.
C. Biologists are opposed to it. D. Living cells can't be sequenced.
34. Why are people interested in cloning extinct species
A. They expect to seek hunt fun. B. They lack sources of modern art.
C. They need them for research. D. They want to see biodiversity.
35. What's the author s attitude toward cloning extinct species
A. Cautious. B. Unclear. C. Dismissive. D. Approving.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
One of the cores of emotional intelligence is self regulation, an important skill in the workplace. Like any skill, mastery of emotional self- control requires intentionality and practice. 36
Pause to Mentally Distance
When you notice your typical physiological experiences associated with strong negative emotion, what should you do Mentally step out of your immediate experience. Asking yourself any question, or imagining what you might look like to others right now, will do the trick. At that point, although still physiologically keyed up, you will be able to ask yourself, “What is the best course of action right now " or “What advice would I give someone else who is in my shoes ” 37 .
Take Control of Your Self-Talk
We're frequently unaware of how much self-chatter is going on in the background of our minds. Such self-talk might not be in fully articulated (铰接式的) words or phrases, but instead little flashes of thought. Becoming aware of your self talk can be difficult. Why is this an important skill to develop 38 . To genuinely ease a strong negative emotion requires tackling the source by examining the underlying belief and how accurate reasonable, or useful it is.
Seek Support from Partners
Ask others you trust to help you recognize when your emotions seem to be getting the best of you, 39 . Agree on a gesture or word that might serve as a signal that your trusted individual wonders whether you're riding the led by your limbic-system train. Of course, there will be times they re wrong. So, it's important not to respond defensively when you get that signal. Reacting with anything other than gratitude ensures that your partner won't take that risk again.
Cultivate (培养) Curiosity
Our brains are wired to draw conclusions and form judgments at lightning speed, and those are frequently the cause of our negative emotions. 40 , but we tend to run with them, sparking the self talk that follows. Generally working to be more curious about other people's experiences, including their self identified motives for their behavior, helps avoid making hasty judgments.
A. They are comfortable with all emotions
B. Those judgments are not necessarily accurate
C. Doing so provides you with choices as to how to act
D. Explain your developmental goals and sincerely ask for help
E. Stay focused on coming up with an answer and following through on it
F. Because it is those background beliefs that fuel our emotional responses
G. Here are four ways you can develop greater emotional self management

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成篇完整的短文。
When I was a kid in Pennsylvania, my family rehabilitated (康复治疗) wild animals. I grew up with raccoons (浣熊) and a fox running around the house. We would go travelling to Bermuda and I would watch the whales off the shore. I fell in love with them and wanted to know more about what they got up to underwater. Now I've been studying whales for more than 30 years and am the president of the Center for Cetacean Research and Conservation.
In 2017, I was on a boat around Rarotonga in the Cook Islands, working on a film about whale conservation. The crew wanted to get more footage (镜头) of me in the water with the humpback whales -I often slip in quietly to record their behaviour for research. Seeing a couple of humpbacks in the distance, I slid off the boat wearing a snorkel mask and a GoPro, and swam towards them.
As I was approaching, one of the male humpbacks came right up to me, nuzzling (用鼻爱抚) me with his head and pushing me through the water. I felt a rush of pleasure mixed with fear. I tried to keep calm, never taking my eyes off him. Then the whale swam underneath me and lifted me out of the water on his flipper (鳍). I signalled to the boat, then-swoosh-I was pushed back under.
After seven and a half minutes of being pushed around by the humpback, I saw what I thought was a second, smaller whale. But then 1 noticed the tail- whales move theirs up and down, and this one was moving side to side. I realized with horror that it belonged to a huge, 18ft tiger shark! Tiger sharks are known to attack people, sometimes fatally (致命的).
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

The shark had arched its body in attack mode.
I told the whale that I loved him and thanked him as he was to swim off

The Fable Story in China
Long long ago, the Foolish Old Man, or Yugong, and his family lived in mountains that blocked their way in and out. To facilitate movement for themselves and the future generation, Yugong, approaching his 90s, was determined to remove the mountains, shovel by shovel. In the end, God was touched by Yugong s perseverance and sent two titans from heaven to help move the mountains away.
The fable Yu Gong Yi Shan has become a synonym for forging ahead while facing enormous difficulties and persevering to the end.
读后续写
The shark had arched its body in attack mode. I yelled out to the boat but, before I knew it, the whale had positioned me on the front of his head and was gracefully racing through the water. It was terrifying and yet peaceful. Within 10 minutes, he had safely returned me to the boat and out of the shark s way. I think the whale had seen the shark and was trying to push me away from it. My emotions were high by the time I took off my mask and I felt love, concern and care from the whale.
I told the whale that I loved him and thanked him as he was to swim off. He looked me in the eye. I slid overboard and swam towards him; I rubbed his face and he extended his pectoral fin. I swam back to the boat and he stayed around for about 20 minutes after I got back on it. Then he disappeared underwater. It was a touching moment. I gasped in relief and then proceeded to sob, overcome. I felt more motivated than ever to protect these beings.

Richardson was given a seat because he was sick, (20) Ritchie Valens won a game with another musician, and Buddy Holly knew the pilot. That day is now remembered as “The Day the Music Died”.
