17、g with a bachelors in automobile engineering from the Hebei College of Science and Technology in 2015he took a job at Peking University as a security guard in the hopes that he would someday be able to pursue a masters at the prestigious (有声望的) university.“I dreamed of studying somewhere famous, but
18、 my familys financial situation meant I had to work while I prepared for the exams,” he said As he studied in his spare time, Liu developed an interest in law and decided to prepare for the National Judicial Examinations, which have a pass rate of only 10 to 15 percent.He later became a facilities m
19、anager at the Peking University Law School to help him better prepare. Liu works from 5 p.m.to midnight. He follows a simple routine, shuttling from his dormitory to the school canteen, to classrooms and to his job and wakes up early so that he can arrive at the law school by 8 a.m. for lectures, or
20、 to study by himself for a few hours.He said that despite his having to work, his teachers and other students have been helpful.

La Almoloya was a centre of politics and
24、 wealth in the El Argar territory, and although the discovery was made in 2014, experts are now taking a closer look at the political background of the unearthed treasure.The remains of a woman, along with a man who may have been her husband were discovered in the hills of the area. Researchers beli
25、eve that the burial happened around 1700 BC, and that the woman was buried with much more treasures than average people, which may imply her role in her community.The pair were found with 30 objects containing precious metals and stones. Experts believe that the man in the grave was probably a fight
26、er, because wear and tear on his bones ndicated he spent a lot of time on horseback. The woman, called the “Princess of La Almoloya”, was buried a short time after the man. The grave goods of the woman were worth tens of thousands of dollars in todays money. “We have two ways of interpreting this,”
27、says Roberto Risch of the Autonomous University of Barcelona “Either you say, its the wife of a king; or you say, no, shes a political personality by herself”Previous findings have revealed that women were considered adults at a much younger age than boys were. For example, grave goods have showed t
28、hat girls as young as six were buried with knives and tools, but boys would be in their teens by the time they would be buried alongside such things. The discovery at La Almoloya shed new light on the politics and gender relations in one of the first urban societies of the West.28What can we infer f

31、ancient world.DFurther study at an unearthed trove leads to new findings.Electric cars are already greener than fossil (化石) fuel cars in almost every part of the world today, according to researchers. They say electric cars are “a no-regret choice”. Some previous studies have suggested fossil fuel c
32、ars produce fewer carbon emissions (排放) over their lifetime than battery-powered cars. Yet these analyses have often compared only two models of car.Instead, Florian Knobloch at Radboud University in the Netherlands looked at the average across many classes of car to get a clearer global picture. Th
33、e researchers looked at the carbon emissions generated on average over a cars lifetime, including during its production, while is being driven and when it is destroyed, for all the conventional and electric cars sold in 59 regions across the world in 2015.These represent 95 per cent of the worlds cu
34、rrent road traffic. They found that electric cars already have fewer carbon emissions in 53 of those 59 regions. Only in areas containing countries that use coal heavily, such as India and Poland, were electric car emissions worse/than those of conventional fossil fuel cars. Combined with data on th
35、e sources that provided electricity to 6 those regions in 2015, they found that the average electric car is greener than the average new petro car. Many countries electricity supplies have seen huge growth in the past five years so Knobloch says electric cars are likely to be even better now. The re
36、searchers think that the gap between fossil fuel and electric cars will only grow bigger as power grids (电厂) get greener. By 2030, they expect the average carbon intensity of electric cars to be 20 per cent lower than in 2015,and 30 per cent lower by 2050.32Why are the previous studies different fro
37、m todays analyses?AThe subjects for analysis are limited.BThe studies arent conducted correctly.CBattery powered cars have been updatedDThe time for the studies isnt long enough.33Whats the finding of Florian Knoblochs study?AElectric cars are greener in most areas.BIndia and Poland use more fossil

40、 short time, and maybe wed like to stick around a lot longer. But how can we do that?Figure out climate change._36_There have been times in the past when its been hotter than it is today, and times when its been cooler. But there is something different about the past century. As far as we can tell f
41、rom the record, there has been no time in Earths entire history when the climate has warmed so much in such a short amount of time. _37_There are: more frequent and more severe extreme weather events like tornadoes and hurricanes; droughts increasing; more changeable weather, with seasons beginning
42、to lack regularity; and sea level rises. While climate change doesnt necessarily pose an existential threat to human existence, it surely poses a threat to how we like to live our lives in modern society.Figure out nuclear weapons.A single nuclear weapon doesnt pose a threat to all of humanity, but
43、the thousands of them in the world right now certainly do. _38_Just consider all the “near misses” in recent history, where nuclear war was avoided thanks only to the quick thinking of individuals. We can only try our luck for so long. And one accident can lead to larger scale nuclear conflict. _39_
44、Figure out asteroids(小行星).If you want to know the terrible consequences for ignoring space borne threats, just ask the dinosaurs how well it worked out for them. Asteroids have the ability to cause massive extinction events, wiping out vast numbers of entire species. _40_ For humanity to make it to
45、the long-term, we need to equip ourselves with asteroid detection and reduction strategiesAThe consequences cant be avoided.BCountries are joining hands to solve it.CNow the chances of one nuclear explosion increase.DThe earths climate has changed for millions of years.EWhile these kinds of events a
46、re rare, the risks are severe.FAnd we can see the effects of climate change everywhere.GWe need to disarm as much as possible to reduce the risk of disaster.六、完形填空Recently I found my dog Luna occasionally drag her right back foot.
