11、kids love dinosaurs. Many of them have ever gone through whats called a “dinosaur phase” - a period of time when they cant stop talking about dinosaurs, cant sleep without hearing a dinosaur bedtime story, and use a backpack with a dinosaur pattern on it. Adults may have long grown out of their dino
12、saur phase, but somehow the appeal is still there. The proof in the success of Steven Spielbergs 1993 film Jurassic Park，and every following installment of the series. And in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom，which was released in Chinese mainland cinemas on June 15, these ancient beasts are taking ove
13、r the modern world once again. National Geographic has an explanation behind the animals popularity: Dinosaurs are “where science and imagination meet”, which is probably what makes them so appealing, to kids and adults alike. Dinosaurs are often compared to dragons, but are seen as cooler because t
14、heyre real. The huge skeletons in museums prove their existence millions of years ago on the same Earth that we now live on. Meanwhile, new discoveries have been made in different parts of the world that open up a bigger picture of these ancient species. And how they went extinct is also a popular s
15、ubject of scientific studies. However, we still seem to know so little about dinosaurs, and have to rely on our imagination when it comes to questions like “How did they live?”, “What did they sound like?” and “How fast could they run?”. Its this sense of mystery that adds to dinosaurs attraction co
16、mpared to other fierce animals like lions and tigers - animals that can be seen in todays zoos. But theres more to this dinosaur appeal. According to Guardian reporter Brian Switek, humans are fascinated by dinosaurs not just because were interested in their history, but also because were trying to
17、have a better understanding of human history. “Dinosaurs can be Hollywood monsters, objects of scientific fascination and everything in between, but at the root of it, our fascination with them stems from wanting to know more about the prehistory we share,” he wrote. - 3 - “The dinosaur story is par
18、t of our own.” 21. The author mentioned the Jurassic Park series mainly to _. A. introduce the latest movie in the series B. show its influence on other dinosaur movies C. prove dinosaurs attraction to people D. give a clear picture of what dinosaurs are like 22. Why are dinosaurs so attractive to p
19、eople, according to the article? A. Theyre huge and powerful. B. They look like dragons. C. Theyre real yet mysterious. D. They carry our childhood memories. 23. According to Switek, our interest in dinosaurs comes from _. A. our wish to become stronger. B. our worries about the future of humans C.
20、the pleasure of using our imagination D. our curiosity about our own history B Try to live in the moment Yesterday, I was sitting by the window of my house above the bay, watching different groups of tourists stop to take photos. They headed to the top of the hill to take photos of the coast - most
21、likely to share them on social media. The members of the group usually stood with their backs to the bay with big smiles on their faces as if to say, “ Look at us: we are here, and you are not.” What surprised me was this: Of all people I saw, only a few actually seemed to be “present”. Most seemed
22、content to take a shot and get back on the road. There were exceptions, however. Four or five young couples, perhaps newlywed, arrived throughout the day and, after taking the usual selfie, spent quite a lot of time gazing, not at the view, but into each other s eyes. I have no problem with that. Al
23、so, an older couple sat on a bench holding hands, studying the horizon. I couldnt see their faces, but I hoped they were smiling and not trying to remember how to get back to their hotel. My favorite exception was a boy, who looked about 7. he stood alone on a rock with his arms stretched wide and s
24、tared out at the ocean, possibly imagining all his wildest dreams coming true. A woman, maybe his mother, made him join her for a photo. Then, he went back to staring until it was time to go. Whatever he saw, he probably wont need a photo to remember it. Most of us spend a lot of time looking at ele
25、ctronic screens, seeing the world on tiny displays. These small screens help us stay connected to the people we love, but they can also make us miss things that are important. The screens themselves arent really the problem, but how we use them - or allow them to use us. Im not saying we should give
26、 these screens up completely - how else would we keep in touch? But sometimes, its such a pleasure to set them aside and stand like a child by the ocean, with eyes, arms and heart wide open. Indeed, theres a name for that kind of pleasure - its called being alive. 24. What surprised the author when
27、she was watching tourists from the window of her house? A. Most of them stayed there for a long time. B. Most of them werent truly enjoying the scenery. C. They were all showing off their experiences on social media. D. They were amazed by what they saw at the bay. 25. Why did the author like the 7-
28、year-old boy most? A. He seemed to have the wildest dreams. B. He helped the old couple to find their way back. C. He was completely taken over by the view. D. He asked his mother to join him for photos. - 4 - 26. What is the authors advice on being alive? A. Make good use of electronic screens all
29、the time. B. Appreciate every moment of your daily life. C. Keep family members company as much as possible. D. Free yourself from electronic products at times to enjoy the present. C High-tech poetry What is poetry? For many of us, its something that lives on the dusty end of the bookshelf, inside
30、the collections of Homer and George Byron; something that is hard to understand and almost impossible to relate on. But theres a new generation of writers, who are redefining this art form by taking it to social media platforms like Instagram, reminding us just how relevant （有现实意义的） and powerful poe
31、try can actually be. Dubbed （称作） “Instapoets”, Indian-Canadian writer Rupi Kaur, 25, is one of them. By writing poems on Instagram, she has attracted over 2 million followers and has now published two poetry books, with both topping the New York Times Best Seller list. She writes about everything, b
32、ut, most importantly, she writes in a language that people can actually understand. About being confident, for example, she wrote: “ If you are not enough for yourself/ you will never be enough/ for someone else.” And about fighting against gender inequality, she wrote: “ Bring your hammer and fists
33、/ we have a glass ceiling to shatter（击碎）/ lets leave this place roofless.” “ Im writing for the generation thats reading my work,” Kaur told The Economist. “ Im not talking down to them; Im having the same experiences as them.” This sense of intimacy （亲近感） - which is the opposite to the usually cond
34、escending （居高临下的） attitude that traditional poetry has - is probably why Instapoets are so popular today. According to global information company the NPD Group, last year, 47 percent - almost half - of poetry books sold in the US were the works of Instapoets, and as many as 12 of the top 20 best-sel
35、ling poetry writers were Instapoets. But there are criticisms that the poems by Instapoets are so simple that they dont qualify as “real” literature - just like when US singer-songwriter Bob Dylan was given the Nobel Prize in literature in 2016, and when this years Pulitzer Prize for music went to K
36、endrick Lamar, a US rapper. However, the popularity of Instapoets isnt surprising to Kaur at all. “ Good art will always break boundaries,” she told the Los Angeles Times. In fact, Kaur knows all about “serious” poetry, as she studied English literature at school. But she still chose to keep her poe
37、ms simple. “ I want readers to open up this book, start the poem, and from beginning to end I want their reading experience to be simple,” she told CBS News. “ But when they finish that poem, I want their stomach to turn.” And as so many things have evolved long with technology - communication and s
38、hopping, to name two - whos to say that literature shouldnt evolve along with it? 27. What do we know about Rupi Kaur? A. She has now published three poetry books. B. She learned English literature by herself. C. She believes good art is without borders. D. She has created a new way of writing poems
