8、Which place was the major financial center of China in the 19th century?AQuanzhou.BSuzhou.CPingyao.DXidi.It was dark as Ibrahim Al Hussein came to. He couldnt move and thick dust filled the air, blocking out all but a few small flames dancing close by. It was hard to breathe. Something wasnt right a

9、nd he could not feel his foot. As the smoke of the bombing cleared Al Hussein was saved but lost his lower right leg forever.After several twists and turns, Al Hussein managed to escape from war-torn Syria to Athens, Greece. With no money left on him, he had to sleep on the streets and look for frui

10、t in trees or eat grass from the park. Luckily, he later found work cleaning toilets at a local cafe. He worked every day of the week with no breaks and was proud to be supporting himself. But he was missing something sport.Al Hussein used to be a sportsman. As war broke out in Syria in 2011, all sp

11、orts stadiums were forced to close, but now settled and safe in Athens, he was desperate to return to physical activity. In May, 2015, his prayers were answered. A swimming club gave him permission to train there.“When I looked at the address I realised it was the Athens Aquatics Centre,” says Al Hu

12、ssein, who, at the age of 16, had watched the 2004 Olympics unfold on a small TV in his cosy Syrian home. “Seeing those Olympics gave me motivation to do sport and although it was a flashback to the past, it was also a look to a better future because I had made it to the pool Id watched and dreamt o

13、f swimming in.”For much of 2015 he swam in the morning and then worked at the cafe until late in the evening.

16、ere going to need 70 percent more food to feed the nine billion people living on Earth. Sara Menker says the problem may be even more urgent than the U.N. suggests. In 2017, she gave a TED talk in which she said a “tipping point,” beyond which global food markets become too overloaded to function ef

17、fectively, could come in just a few years.“We discovered that the world will be short 2141012 calories by 2027,” she said. Or, in more familiar terms: “A single Big Mac has 563 calories. That means the world will be short 380 billion Big Macs in 2027. That is more Big Macs than McDonalds has ever pr

18、oduced.”Menker cannot change the world alone. But the firm she started, Gro Intelligence, is providing information that food companies, insurers, lenders and policymakers use to make food production more effective, and perhaps help protect against that tipping point.Gro tracks 6501012 data points da

19、ily from sources such as government and local food reports, satellite photos, long-term weather forecasts and greenhouse gas measurements and creates computer models so that food companies, such as Unilever and Yum! Brands, can know how prices are likely to trend, calculate surpluses (过剩) and shorta

20、ges, and be more flexible when climate change makes food supplies harder to predict.A type of artificial intelligence known as machine learning is key to dealing with the data because, as Allison Tepley of Gros staff put it, “The best information is often local information, but its often in local la

21、nguages, in different forms and it all needs to be put together.”Gro has sounded warmings on African swine fever in China (which cut pork production 30 percent in 2018), locust infestation in East Africa in 2020 and global inflation (通货膨胀) in food prices.8What is the problem mentioned by Menker?AFoo

22、d shortage.BOverloaded markets.COverpopulation.DWrong prediction by the U.N.9What does Menker mean by her words in paragraph 2?AThe problem is serious.BHer discovery is more accurate.CBig Macs contain too many calories.DMcDonalds should increase productivity.10What does Gro do to help food companies

23、?AGet resources.BMonitor greenhouse gases.CAnalyse big data.DAssess surpluses and shortages.11What might the underlined words “locust infestation” be in the last paragraph?AA data-driven drug.BA language-based approach.CA food-related disaster.DA production-centered policy.Many people think that the

24、re should be some sort of universal service around cash, forcing banks to provide it and sellers to accept it. I disagree, but I do understand why they think that forcing the additional costs associated with cash on financial institutions and merchants seems appealing.One of their arguments is that

25、cash is a necessary fallback, the only payment method that society can depend on in the event of nuclear war or natural disaster and therefore businesses should be forced to keep the ability to distribute and collect notes and coins. They think that cash is the backup in a disaster. It really isnt.

26、When things go really wrong, it is the people who keep their money in cash who suffer the most.Remember the Japanese disaster of a decade back, where following a severe earthquake off the northeast coast of Japans Honshu Island in 2011, a huge tsunami (海啸) towering a hundred feet above the ground we

27、nt crashing into cities, towns and villages destroying more than 200 square miles. Since Japan remains a cash-based society and a great many people keep their savings in cash in their homes, the disaster led to the unusual phenomenon of safes and cash washing up on beaches. Yasuo Kimura, a former ba

28、nk employee then aged 67, said that he had many friends who lost everything. “I had tried to convince them to put their money in a bank,” he said. “They always thought it was safer to keep it at home.”Another argument they make is that electronic payment can be bad for privacy, making cash remain th

29、e best backup. They ask “How do you stop data thieves and data brokers from monitoring your buying history?” and suggest paying in cash is the answer. Personally, I think using privacy-enhancing (增强隐私的) technologies when making electronic payments is a better answer, but thats a discussion for anoth

30、er day.12What makes many people think it necessary to force cash service on banks?AThe duty of banks.BThe reliability of cash.CThe need to cut costs.DThe demand from sellers.13What was one of the results of the Japanese disaster in 2011?AThe quake destroyed over 200 square miles.B100 towers were swa

31、llowed by the tsunami.CJapanese started to keep money in banks.DMany Japanese lost their backup money.14What does the author think of electronic payment?AIt is not good for privacy.BIt still leaves much to be desired.CIt is safer than cash payment.DIt often falls into the wrong hands.15What can be t

34、was born our national dish of fish and chips!_18_ Mr. Lees sold fish and chips from a wooden shelter in the market. Later he moved the business to a permanent shop across the road. However in London, it is said that Joseph Malin, a Jewish immigrant, opened a fish and chip shop in Cleveland Way withi

35、n the sound of Bow Bells in the 1860s.Fish and chip shops were originally small family businesses, often run from the front room of the house and were commonplace by the late 19th century. Through the latter part of the 19th century and well into the 20th century, the fish and chip trade expanded gr

36、eatly to satisfy the needs of the growing industrial population of Great Britain. Fish and chips became vital to the diet of the ordinary people. _19_In 1999, the British consumed nearly 300 million servings of fish and chips. That equates to six servings for every man, woman and child in the countr

Scientists on the FAST project with the National Astronomical Observatories of China broke the news _37_ Wednesday.The FRB originated some three billion light years away from Earth. FRB is one of the _38_ (hot) ever topics in astronomy. It was not until 2007 _

46、39_ the first FRB was discovered by humans. Fewer than 100 FRBs have been detected internationally to date. There is still no convincing _40_ (explain) for the origin of FRB in the international scientific community at present.FRBs mostly only appear once, which makes them very hard _41_ (track). Th

47、e FRB detected by FASTs real-time detection terminal, however, is one that has been observed before. _42_ (know) as FRB121102, it was first discovered in 2012 and found to repeat in 2015. Analysis of data later _43_ (indicate) that the signal came from a dwarf galaxy (矮星系) three billion light years away. The first pulse from FRB121102 _44_ (spot) by FAST on August 30. After this, _45_ telescope recorded dozens of pulses from the FRB over the cours
