8、Darwin was born into a family of thinkers. His father was a Fellow of the Royal Society (the elite circle of top British scientists), his mother was the daughter of Josiah Wedgwood, the man who founded the famous Wedgwood Potteries, and his grandfather, Erasmus Darwin, was a famous physician, thinke

9、r and philosopher who, like his grandson, spent much time studying the evolution of life. After a childhood in the town of Shrewsbury, where he was educated at the Grammar School, Darwin went up to Edinburgh University to study medicine and natural history. When he was eighteen, he left Edinburgh an

10、d went to Cambridge University, planning to enter the church, but he was more interested in science than in religion and in the end he abandoned theology. Shortly after graduating from Cambridge, he got a job as a naturalist on the ship H. M. S. Beagle, which was about to start on a scientific and c

11、artographic (地图的) survey of the South American coast. The journey started in December 1831 and was to last almost five years, during which time he collected considerable documentation. Darwin was struck by the animals of the south seas, particularly by the tortoises he found on the Galapagos Islands

12、, a group of Pacific Islands. The Galapagos tortoises, Darwin observed, differed from island to island, and this, he inferred, showed different forms of evolution, since the animals obviously came from the same origins. Darwin was also struck by the iguanas (蜥蜴) he found, and observed that those whi

13、ch lived in water had heads suitable for finding food among stones, while those that lived on land had a sharper head, more fit for a herbivorous (食草的) animal. Darwin developed his theory of evolution, but it was not until 1859 that he actually published it. It was instantly seen as a great mileston

14、e in scientific thought, and attracted violent argument all over Europe. Many found fault in it, and Darwin spent the rest of his life improving his theory in the light of other peoples observations.4Why was Darwins family background mentioned?ATo honour his family.BTo increase his popularity.CTo hi

17、 leave their homes to escape war, violence, and persecution (迫害). The majority of them have become internally displaced persons, which means they have fled their homes but are still within their own countries. Others have crossed a border and sought shelter outside of their own countries. They are c

18、ommonly referred to as refugees. Theres a lot of confusion regarding the difference between the terms “migrant” and “refugee.” “Migrants” usually refers to people who leave their country for reasons not related to persecution, such as searching for better economic opportunities or leaving drought-st

19、ricken areas in search of better circumstances. There are also many people around the world who have been displaced because of natural disasters, food insecurities, and other hardships, but international law, rightly or wrongly, only recognizes those fleeing conflict and violence as refugees. So wha

20、t happens when someone flees their country? Today, roughly half the worlds refugees are children, some of them unaccompanied by an adult, in a situation that makes them especially vulnerable (易受伤的) to child labor or sexual abuse. Most refugee journeys are long and dangerous with small access to shel

21、ter, water, or food. Since the departure can be sudden and unexpected, belongings might be left behind, and people who are getting out of conflict often do not have the required documents, like visas, to board airplanes and legally enter other countries. Financial and political factors can also prev

22、ent them from traveling by standard routes. This means they can usually only travel by land or sea, and may need to entrust their lives to smugglers (走私者) to help them cross borders. Whereas some people seek safety with their families, others attempt passage alone and leave their loved ones behind w

23、ith the hopes of being reunited later.

Ghia Luwalhati, Nicole Elizabeth Tan and Reaner Jacqueline Bool from the WONDERPETS team from Batangas State University in the Philippines used Metal Organic Frameworks, which are novel adsorbents (新型吸附剂), to turn recycled plast

27、ic bottles into a type of sponge (海绵) that is extremely porous (透水的), making it an effective means of removing pollutants from water. Better still, the sponge can be used again and again. Organized by the World Federation of Engineering Organizations with UNESCO support, the hackathon shows the inve

28、ntiveness of young engineers when it comes to solving real-life problems. Some 125 teams from 23 countries around the world competed in the hackathon, with nine teams from six countries making it through to the finals. These countries are Australia, Canada, China, India, Kenya and the Philippines. S

29、ome 92% of participants were engineering students. During the first round of the hackathon, the teams were given 13 days to come up with a sustainable engineering solution to one of three challenges. These solutions display the resourcefulness of future engineers. All nine finalists have produced sh

As a result, our weekends were filled with simple pleasures that we could do for free, like picnics, bike rides, and my favorite trips to the library. _17_ silly ones, moving ones, and even educational ones. I would have my parents read the books that we borrowed over and over again until we nee

37、ded to return them, or I would page through them myself, imagining the stories in my head, even though I was too young to read the words. When I was about five years old, I could start to read on my own. _18_: I knew we could get books from the library or buy them in stores if we had the money, but

38、where did books come from? I asked my mother this question, to which she replied that the stories I loved were created in the imaginations of people called “writers”. _19_.Four decades later, I still remember that moment. It was as though I had been struck by lightning. _20_. I would be one of those

39、 writers. I would create stories and share them with the world.AGradually, I had a curious thoughtBOur home was a simple rented apartmentCWe couldnt afford to have our own houseDThen and there, I knew my purpose in this worldEHowever, I was able to read many kinds of useful booksFThanks to the child

Modern society _23_ winners and successful sportspeople quickly _24_celebrities (名人), admired by all. _25_, there are ways to win and to lose.

A true sportsperson will make the right decision for the right reason and not _30_ failure. There is an old and very wise _31_, “Win with modesty, lose with grace

43、, and do both with dignity.”In _32_ of such acts of sportsmanship, the International Fair Play Committee decided to award the Pierre de Coubertin Fair Play Trophy, in 1964. The first _33_ to receive the award was an Italian bobsleigh (雪橇) competitor named Eugenio Monti. During the two-man bobsleigh

44、final at the 1964 Winter Olympic Games, he _34_ an excellent time for his downhill run. However, one of the British competitors, Tony Nash, had _35_a part of his bobsleigh and was unable to compete. Just then, Monti, without _36_, removed the same part of his own bobsleigh and _37_ it to Nash. Nash

45、and his partner went on to _38_ a record time and won the gold medal. Montis remarkable, unselfish decision to help a _39_ competitor, in the final stage of an Olympic event, is an example to us all.
