Bhikhu. own a drug company which does $234 million worth of business each year. Together they are worth 280 milli
8、on and now they have been jointly named “Entrepreneur of the Year”.It is an inspirational tale. Yet despite their wealth and this award, Vijay remains modest about their success. He praises his mother: “She is an incredible lady. She taught us hard work, honesty and we have based our lives on those
9、qualities.”In 1967,Vijay kissed his mother goodbye to London to make his fortune. “I had little more than my qualifications and $5,” says Vijay. “But to go with those, I had a huge ambition to make something of myself,” he recalls. Typically, Vijay looks on the bright side. “When you start from zero
10、, things cant get any worse. You have only one way to go. and thats up - if there is a hunger in your stomach for success.” Vijny says. “My brother and I were determined to better ourselves and Britain was the land of opportunity.”By 1982, he had owned six chemists shops, when Bhikhu, a then financi

But during episodes of intense ivory poaching, those big tusks may invite danger. Now researchers ha
16、ve figured out how years of civil war and poaching in Mozambique have led to a greater number of elephants that will never develop tusks.During the conflict from 1977 to 1992, fighters on both sides killed elephants for ivory to finance war efforts. In the region, around 90% of the elephants were ki
17、lled. The survivors were likely to share a key characteristic: half the females were naturally tuskless - they simply never developed tusks - while before the war, less than a fifth lacked tusks.After the war, those tuskless surviving females passed on their genes with expected,as well as surprising
18、, results. About half their daughters were tuskless. More confusing, two-thirds of their offspring (后代) were female. “The years of unrest changed the evolution in that population,” said evolutionary biologist Shane Staton.Most people think of evolution as something that proceeds slowly, but humans c
19、an hit the accelerator. “When we think about natural selection,we think about it happening over hundreds, or thousands of years,” said Samuel Wasser, a conservation biologist at the University of Washington. “The fact that this dramatic selection for tusklessness happened over 15 years is one of the
20、 most astonishing findings.”Now the scientists are studying what more tuskless elephants means for the species and its environment. “If an elephant doesnt have the tool to peel bark from trees, then what chain reaction will happen?”8What have researchers found out according to paragraph 1?AThe funct
21、ion of tusks.BThe influence of civil war.CThe fight against ivory poaching.DReasons for naturally tuskless elephants.9What do paragraph 2 and 3 tell us about the elephants?ATheir pricey tusks.BTheir evolution process.CTheir endangered conditions.DTheir sufferings during the war.10What surprised Samu
22、el about the findings?AThe rapid speed of evolution.BElephants gender imbalance.CElephants population reduction.DThe diversity of natural selection.11Which might be one of the results of the chain reaction?AElephants will die out soon.BElephants will shift their diet.CElephants will suffer from star

What a great leap forward in this journey we call human civilizatio
24、n! But does this recent advancement come with a dark secret that can someday turn on us? Are smart devices spies around us?Many smart appliances today, particularly smartphones and virtual assistants are equipped with voice command capabilities. They can, therefore, listen to and record your comment
25、s and conversations even after theyve carried out your original command. Concerns about devices turning on voice command by themselves and listening even when you do not enable the feature have also been raised. The question then is: What actually happens when your smart device is listening? How muc
26、h information gets recorded, and where does this eventually end up in?Take a listening app called “Alphonso” as an example. You cant download it directly from the App Store, but it comes with some games and apps that you can fix. While you are playing games on your smartphone, Alphonso comes to life
27、 and listens to what you are watching on TV. It then records this information and sends it to some server somewhere, and the data is analyzed to build a profile about your TV-viewing habits. Alphonso proves that devices can listen to what you say and do.Alphonso proves that devices can listen to wha
28、t you say and do. Now, whats to stop devices from gathering other data? They can be made to look at chat and text messages or your calendar, for example, everything about you would be fair game.

29、ring every word you speak that can potentially land you in some sort of phishing (网络欺诈) trouble. This seems to be the price we have to pay for the convenience that technology gives us. Privacy seems non-existent. So we should thus take steps to protect ourselves from this eventuality.12What can we i
30、nfer about IoT mentioned in paragraph 1?APeople rely too much on IoT.BIoT spies are exactly among us.CIoT can be a double-edged sword.DIoT merely comes with a dark secret.13What is the potential risk associated with smart devices?AVoice command capabilitiesBPersonal data and identity theft.COriginal

38、填空There is an art to being a good tour guide and Martin knows what it is.Last spring, I took a trip around London with Martin, a tour guide. Accustomed to guides who are _21_ excellent but who often turn out to be _22_, I was so struck by Martins performance that I _23_ him out again to see, if coul
39、d, just how the _24_ was done.This time the tour was for a party of foreign English learners, aged anything between 20 and 60. As the “_25_” gathered, Martin welcomed them with a kind of huge _26_, as if he had been waiting for them with excitement and a touch of anxiety, now thankfully _27_. I have
40、 to say, all this seemed absolutely _28_.Soon after, we _29_ the British Museum, “a great architectural showpiece”, advised Martin. He continued _30_ questions which led to a _31_ about building, fish and chips, Londoners, and _32_ Shakespeare. This was how he liked to work: themes, introduced as if
41、 naturally, were _33_ for later discussion. It was over two hours of non-stop _34_, with information, observation and humour. At the end of our tour, Martin says encouragingly to _35_ his guide: “I do hope you enjoy London.”There are several hundred other _36_ out there, all looking for a(n) _37_ of
42、 the work. I think as we talk, that I am starting to understand why good guides are so _38_. Its much more _39_ than it looks, and it demands, for every stretch of road, an even longer _40_ of study and forethought.21AconstantlyBneverCoccasionallyDalways22AbossyBconsiderateCsensitiveDsuspicious23Ase

46、taurant toilets or even turning _42_ the local shops for help in emergency situations, if there is no public toilet around. However, especially after midnight, people may have to embarrass_43_ (they) by urinating (小便) on street corners with the absence of an _44_ (access) bathroom. In the morning, i
