He dropped out of high school at 17 and joined the army. After finishing his service,he entered a dark period in his life. Myers began writing at night to pull himself through that miserable time.
In a New York Times essay published earlier this year, Myers described how a short story by James Baldwin helped change the course of his life. "I didn't love the story, but I was lifted by it," he wrote, "for it took place in Harlem, and it was a story concerned with black people like those I knew. By humanizing the people who were like me.Baldwin's story also humanized me. The story gave me a permission that I didn't know I needed, the permission to write about my own landscape, my own map. "
"I write books or the troubled boy I once was, " he wrote, "and for the boy who lives within me still. "

Making beer on the moon might seem like a pipe dream to many. but for a group of students from the University of California at San Diego, there is a chance to take their research beyond Earth's surface.
The Lab2Moon competition, held by Teamlndus, is offering students the chance to secure a spot on the Teamlndus rocket this year.
Taking craft beer to the next level, the students want to test whether it's possible for yeast(酵母) to work and create beer on the moon However, they believe the experiment is not just a creative concept for astronauts, it's also important for the development of drugs and yeast-containing foods, like bread.
"The idea started out with a few laughs among a group of friends," said Neeki Ashari, a fifth-year bioengineering student at UC San Diego. "We all appreciate the craft of beer When we heard that there was an opportunity to design an experiment that would go up on India, s moonlander, we thought we could combine our hobby with the competition by focusing on the practicality o yeast in outer space. "
The preparation.work for the beer-up to the stage of adding yeast-will all be done on Earth, and rather than separating the fermentation(发酵) and carbonation stages of making beer, the team plans to combine them.
Thrs removes the need to release CO2 accumulated in the process, which may result in cleanliness and safety issues out in space.
If selected, Team Original Gravity will be the first to make beer in outer space, and the fermentation will take place in a vessel no bigger than a soda can
All teams competing for the place will showcase their ideas in Bangalore, India, in March Sadly, you won't be enjoying moon beer in your local craft beer bar' anytime soon, as no samples will be brought back However, this small experiment could provide important data on just how practical it is for us to make and create our own resources on other planets and moons by learning how consumables behave in different environments.
28. How did the students feel when they got the chance to design the experiment?
A Excited. B. Nervous. C. Confident. D. Casual..
29. What does the underlined word "This" in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A. The mixing of two stages. B. Adding yeast on Earth
C. The preparation work on Earth D. Fermentation and carbonation
30. What can we learn about the experiment from the passage?
A It has been designed based on similar experiments.
B. It,s quite competitive compared with other designs.
C. Its design has already been approved by Teamlndus.
D. Its process was adapted to make it safer and greener.
31. What does the author think of the students' idea?
A It seems like a pipe dream. B. It's extremely complicated.
C. It's meaningful and hopeful. D. It,s creative but impractical.
D
Abandoned around 900 years ago soon after its decoration started, Ta Keo has been revived by Chinese and Cambodian experts.
The Angkor complex spreads over an area of 400 square kilometers. It was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1992. However, due to heavy rains, stealing and lack of protection for centuries, most temples of Angkor were seriously damaged.
In order to better protect and conserve these pearls of human civilization, China joined ICC-Angkor, an international campaign launched by Cambodia and UNESCO in 1993. From Chausay Tevada to Ta Keo, the Chinese team has earned trust and established a good reputation.
"Its unfinished status shows the construction procedures of temples in Angkor. This gives Ta Keo irreplaceable value in the study of Angkor's architecture, " said Jin Zhaoyu, an engineer from the CACH(中国文化遗产研究院).
Such uniqueness, however, presented greater challenges. Compared with Chausay Tevada, it covers a larger area and has more risks including unsteady stone structures, a poor drainage system and fallen key parts.
"Because the construction is unfinished, many fallen parts are not carved, leaving little information of its relations with other parts, " said Jin.
Jin showed archives of those fallen parts, each with its ID file, picture and dimensions. "Every stone is unique lf one stone is in the wrong position, the gap will grow wider as you restore it and an accurate restoration will be impossible," said Jin "Simply speaking, our priorities are 'searching' and 'matching '. Finding the fallen parts and putting them back perfectly. "
To better understand the temple's structure and precisely restore it, the team applied the most advanced technologies, including 3D laser scanning and mapping, structural research and drone recording, to build a complete digital model of Ta Keo.
Jin demonstrated the 3D model system, with which they restored the temple hundreds of times. "I can measure the dimensions of every stone and every gap in computer, and search the right stone that can fit in the gap, " Jin said.
This is much easier said than done. Dozens of Chinese experts from various fields worked together with Cambodian colleagues to overcome a string of obstacles. It took them eight years to restore Ta Keo
32. What can we learn about the Angkor complex from the text?
A. It was abandoned before it was finished
B. It has the largest size of its kind worldwide.
C. It is in poor condition due to various reasons
D. Its significance has been ignored for a long time.
33. Why is Ta Keo so important in the field of architecture?
A It covers a very large area. B. It tells how the temple was built.
C. It has a history of more than 900 years D. It was on the World Heritage List.
34. What was the biggest challenge the Chinese team faced while restoring Ta Keo?
A Serious damage it had sufferecL B. Building the 3D model system.
C. Co-operation with Cambodian colleagues D. Knowing little about its structure
35 What is the best title for the text?
A Hi-tech Applied to Restore Ta Keo
B. Protecting Pearls of Human Civilization
C. International Co-operation and Restoration
D. China's Role in Restoring Cambodian Heritage
第二节 (共 5小题;每小题 2分,满分 10分)
Twenty-five years of experience in the field have convinced me that many people who consider themselves to be highly intelligent are not necessarily good thinkers. 36 There are many aspects of this trap but I shall mention just two.
A highly intelligent person can take a view on a subject and then use his or her intelligence to defend that view. 37 _ When a person has a better defence of the view, he or she is less likely to seek out alternatives or listen to anyone else 38 As a result, many highly intelligent minds are trapped in poor ideas because they can defend them so weIL
A second aspect of the intelligence trap is that a person, who has grown up with the notion that he or she is more intelligent than those around, wants to get the most satisfaction from that intelligence. 39 Such a strategy gives you an immediate result and also establishes your superiority. Being constructive is much less rewarding. It may take years to show that a new idea works. 40 So it is obvious that being critical and
destructive is a much more appealing use of intelligence. This is made even worse by the absurd Western notion that ' critical thinking' is enough.
A They get caught in the intelligence trap
B. But why are intelligent people not good thinkers?
C. Intelligent people always enjoy arguing with others.
D. You also have to depend on the listener liking your idea.
E. A person with higher intelligence always defends one's view better.
F. The quickest and most reliable way is to prove someone else wrong.
G. If you know that you are right, why should you do either of those things?
