7、potential readers.DThe theme they try to convey.Edward O. Wilson, known as “ant man”, was born on June 10, 1929, in Birmingham, Alabama. His parents divorced when he was young, and he was moved frequently throughout his childhood. Wilson grew up exploring the forests and wildlife. One of these adven
8、tures left him partly blind, but they also set off his lifelong fascination with ants and their social structures.Wilson earned his bachelors and masters degrees from the University of Alabama. In 1955, he received his Ph.Dfrom Harvard and worked there until retirement.Wilsons early study of ants le

It detailed the insects social structure that was both valued by scholars and accessible to gene
10、ral readers.Another of Wilsons major works started in the early 1960s when he teamed up with Robert MacArthur. The pair published The Theory of Island Biogeography, where they sought to explain why different places have different numbers of species.What many consider to be Wilsons most important con
11、tributions to evolutionary biology came in 1975 when he published Sociobiology: The New Synthesis. The work explored the genetic roots of animal behavior and argued that genes shaped human behavior.Wilson faced accusations for these ideas but his work finally largely proved true. In 1978, his ideas
12、on the role biology plays in human culture peaked in On Human Nature, which won him a Pulitzer in 1979.Wilson published more than 400 scientific papers and 20 books.

16、or years before they were abandoned. And while they are a part of Indian cultural heritage, they had lost their purpose for some time, until now. As the extreme droughts are rocking India, these ancient stepwells are restored for what they do best - providing water.Shaped like an upside-down pyramid
17、 digging into the ground and lined by thousands of steps, stepwells can collect rainwater. They are wonderfully efficient at providing water for nearly 1,500 years. Sadly, over 3,000 stepwells have either been abandoned or left to rot, with some even covered by garbage. Now, thanks to the restoratio
18、n programme (also known as BAORIS), stepwells will come full circle.Since the restoration process began, at least 15 wells have been restored in the city of Delhi. The cost will be around $60,000, but by doing so, the water supply for the city could reach an additional 33,000 gallons. Rajkumar Sharm
19、a, a local citizen, said, “I was elated at the reuse of the stepwells. The stepwell in our village was the only source of water. With time, it had dried up and changed into a place for rubbish. We now have access to clean water for drinking and other purposes.”Historian Rana Safvi explained, “Costly
20、 and painstaking as this program is, repairing these traditional stepwells to their former glory provides water for many. But apart from that, it also spotlights the beautiful architecture features of ancient India. This helps attract tourists and can also be used in religious ceremonies.” She added
21、, “These stepwell restorations not only help India reduce the impact of drought, but they are a promise of a better future for India overall.”8Why are the stepwells in India restored?AThey have a new purpose.BThey are cultural heritage.CThey can ease water shortage.DThey are in poor conditions.9What

Technological
24、challenges aside, as we continue to expand our exploration of Mars, there is a question: What might be the lessons of past voyages of discovery that we should think about?Human exploration has led to many extraordinary new discoveries, but it has also led to the exploitation of resources. Not long a
25、fter early European settlers arrived at America, they declared their independence and created the constitution by which modern American society functions. However, this did not prevent the settlers from referring to native people as savages and taking away their rights to liberty, happiness, and eve
26、n survival. Native Americans were quickly killed by wars and new diseases as the new settlers expanded their land. The natural environment, with which they had established a harmonious relationship, was similarly destroyed by the settlement.Mars certainly has an impossible environment for human life
27、, but on Mars, humans will be the invasive species. Will our landing on mars break the ecosystem on Mars? It is possible that Mars has ideal minerals for future development. But apart from technology challenges, will the mining have a disastrous environment impact on this red neighbour as it has alr
28、eady had on Earth?The achievements of space exploration are certainly to be applauded. The contributions of the related researches on chemistry, medicine and many others are potentially limitless. However, as we look to exploring worlds beyond our own, we need to begin now to look at history to cons
29、ider how best to engage with different life forms, cultures and environments. We may be capable of writing a law, but we first need to clear our potential invasive impact on another planet that may be completely defenseless.12What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to?AModern Ameri
