What do you want to be when you grow up? My answer has always been a vet.
We didn't have pets growing up because my mother was scared of animals. She transferred
（转移）some of this fear to me. It's not common you find someone who's scared of animals but
wants to be a vet. Still, I knew this is what I wanted.
Vet school was nothing like I had imagined. Within the first few weeks, any fears I had about
being a vet vanished. In the fourth year, we were introduced to surgery. I loved it. Stitching （缝）
wounds was like a satisfying game of Tetris （俄罗斯方块），where all the pieces fit beautifully
together to make something broken whole again. It solidified （使坚固）my belief that this was the
right fit for me.
These were the most challenging and rewarding two years of my life, and before I knew it,
they were over. I was officially a veterinary surgeon （兽医）.Surprisingly, I felt empty after I
finished. Why wasn't 1 excited to move on? I had completely forgotten to think about what comes
next. I felt as if I had spent the last decade of my life writing exams and working crazy hours only to
come out on the other side, completely clueless.
There were so many options to choose from. I could start a clinic, work at another practice or
even pursue further studies. It was my father who suggested I travel to gain some perspective. I
hesitantly decided to spend some time in New Zealand with my aunt who also happens to be a vet.
New Zealand was beautiful! I finally had a chance to think about what I wanted. One of the
vets there allowed me to observe their practice. Working with vet nurses really stood out for me. We
don't have vet nurses in India! It is a blessing to have such experienced and dedicated individuals as
a part of your support system. After a whole year of what felt like aimless wandering, this
experience helped me decide I wanted to work overseas.
So, to all the other confused vets out there who haven't figured things out: It's completely okay
to feel confused! Most people feel the same way at some point in their careers. Don't be afraid to try
new things even if you feel difficult or impossible.

The world's largest iceberg is floating toward South Georgia in the southern Atlantic Ocean.
Scientists fear the iceberg could crash into the island and block major feeding areas for a large
population of penguins and seals. If the iceberg hits the island, it could prevent the penguins and
seals from reaching food supplies.
The huge iceberg is named A68a. It broke away from Antarctica's Larsen C Ice Shelf in 2017.
Satellite images show the iceberg has remained in one piece. It is estimated to be about 150
kilometers long and 48 kilometers wide. It is traveling at one kilometer per hour and is on a path to
hit South Georgia in around 30 days.
This is the time of year when seals and penguins spend a lot of time caring for their young. The
distance that parents have to travel to find food is crucial. That means they have to go a lot further or
go around the iceberg to find sources of food.
Ecologists say an iceberg crash would also disturb materials settled on the seabed, possibly
polluting the surrounding seas. As the iceberg melts, it would also release large amounts of fresh
water into the ocean. This could affect krill （磷虾）populations that are a major source of food for
the island's wildlife. The iceberg could remain for up to 10 years and change the area's whole
ecosystem. These are globally significant populations of these species. If these species fail in this
particular area, then the numbers globally are going to go down quite dramatically.
Professor Geraint Tarling, an ecologist at the British Antarctic Survey, said, "The breaking off
of icebergs from Antarctica is a natural process. But the process is changing with climate change.
What we're seeing with models and some observations now is that this is happening at an increasing
rate. And so, this might become more of a usual thing in the future."
8. Why are the scientists worried about the coming iceberg crash?
A. It will bring extremely cold weather.
B. It will destroy the feeding areas of the animals.
C. It will put wildlife on the island at risk of starving.
D. It will prevent animals from moving to other places.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The characteristic of the iceberg.
B. The importance of the iceberg.
C. The traveling speed of the iceberg.
D. The forming process of the iceberg.
10. What damage can an iceberg crash bring according to paragraph 4?
A. Using up much fresh water.
B. Polluting the surrounding farms.
C. Changing the world's ecosystem.
D. Affecting the number of certain species.
11. How does Tarling think of the breaking off of icebergs from Antarctica?
A. It may slow down in the near future.
B. It may become common in the future.
C. It has a great influence on the climate.
D. It helps scientists conduct a sea study.
D
The sea could be the food bowl of the future. In Jervis Bay, south of Sydney, seaweed, which
is rich in fibre and omega 3, is grown and harvested.
Pia Winberg is a marine scientist who runs Australia's first food-grade fanned seaweed
company. Her crop is grown alongside mussels（贻贝）and is used as an additive in pasta（意大 利
面）and other products.
Seaweed is also raised in large tanks, where it absorbs carbon dioxide waste from a wheat
processing factory. The business is small, but could help to reduce the ecological footprint of
traditional farming.
“We used ten percent of seaweed instead of wheat in breads and pastas, we've eliminated a
million hectares of land, we've eliminated all of the carbon dioxide emissions associated with that,
and we've also reduced the pressures on very precious fresh water." said Pia Winberg.
Spiny sea urchins（多刺海胆虫）are another blue economy resource. They can destroy marine
habitats, but a recent competition for environmental start-ups in Australia, saw them not as
a pest but a delicacy （美味）.
Martina Doblin, CEO of Sydney Institute of Marine Science, said, " By 2050 we will have
some ten billion people on the planet, and about half the food they eat will come from the ocean. So,
we really do need to pay attention to the way that we manage the blue economy - generating wealth
from the ocean but in a sustainable （可持续的）way.”
Farming at sea has its challenges. Infrastructure （基础设施）has to be sound, as do supply
chains and biosecurity. But get these things right, and the ocean might just be the next great
economic frontier.
12. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To lead to the main topic.
B. To describe a new kind of seaweed.
C. Tell how important the food safety is.
D. To explain the meaning of blue economy.
13. What can we learn from what Martina Doblin said in paragraph 6?
A. Ocean exploration has made little progress so far.
B. More and more people will die of hunger in the future.
C. More work is needed for a better use of the natural resources.
D. Sea fanning will be a good way to solve the coming world food problem.
14. Which word can be used to describe the author's attitude towards sea fanning?
A. Skeptical. B. Objective. C. Tolerant. D.
Negative.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. How to Protect the Marine Animals
B. Measures to Develop Blue Economy
C. Farming the Sea for the Future of Food
D. Traditional Farming is Gradually Disappearing

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余
选项。
The recent advances in Artificial Intelligence （AI） have aroused heated debate globally. As
science fiction starts to become reality, AI products are now slowly coming into homes and
workplaces. 16 Will unemployment rate become higher in the future? Will low-end labors
cause social unrest （不安定）?
However, more optimistically speaking, I believe that AI is a great helper, and the focus of AI
should not be just on cool devices or automation. 17 . AI has the potential to greatly improve
things like healthcare, education, poverty and security. AI machines can do some very beneficial
things today that humans will simply never be able to do.
And of course, AI is just used to make up for the disadvantages of the human mind, not to
replace it. 18 We process millions of sensory inputs automatically, allowing us to learn and
respond to our environment.
But the human brain only contains about 300 million pattern processors that are responsible for
human thought. What if we could complement （补足）all of our amazing ideas with not just more
data, but also more data processing capability? 19 .
“Precision medicine"（精准医疗）is a great example to illustrate Al's positive impact when we
equip it with human skills. Precision medicine is an emerging approach to disease treatment and
prevention that takes into account individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle for each
person. 20 . For example, around 25, 000 people in the US are diagnosed with brain tumors （肿
瘤）every year. Traditionally, they might all be given the same course of treatment to see what might
work in a one-size-fits-al1 approach. Precision medicine will allow doctors and researchers to
predict more accurately which treatment and prevention strategies for a particular disease will work
in which groups of people.
A. Our life is becoming more and more convenient
B. Think of it as a type of personalized medical care
C. The human brain is the most elegant computer in existence
D. Imagine how we would rethink every single problem that exists today
E. Instead, we can rethink how to solve the world's existing problems with AI
F. Precision medicine helps doctors and nurses figure out what the problem is
G. This is raising concerns about the potential harmful effects of AI on the job market

A Mirror of Chinese culture
What comes to mind when you think of kung fu? If your mind 41 (fill) with images of
Shaolin monks, Bruce Lee, jaw-dropping stunts or Kung Fu Panda, you wouldn't be wrong. But for
Laurence J. Brahm, an American documentary (纪录片)filmmaker, the first thing 42 springs to
mind is the concept of non-violence.
“Kung fu , in my eyes, is a mirror of Chinese culture,” Brahm said. "The traditional 43
(value) of kung fu, actually, are in the minds of all Chinese people.”
“China adopts a policy of not wanting 44 (have) conflict with other countries. Why does
China want to be in harmony 45 other nations? It's part of the psychology of the Chinese people.
It's also 46 (nation) psychology."
Brahm also believes that today's world 47 (urgent) needs to restart equal exchanges
between countries without stereotypes (旧习)，and that culture and sports, such as kung fu, can serve
as 48 great channel and platform.
"In the same way, ping pong ball as a cultural and sports exchange 49 （open） relations for
China with the west in the 1970s, kung fu can become the new cultural diplomacy （外交）of our
time, 50 （bring） people together in mutual sharing of skills and culture, and furthering respect
and understanding."

Sports Make Me Happy
Sports do us good in many respects. It goes without saying that taking exercise can help us
keep fit and release stress.
Sports make me happy. My favorite sport is basketball. While taking part in the game, it not
only arouses my competitive spirits but also teaches me the importance of cooperation. Playing
basketball is a good way for me to relax after a period of exhausting work. But as the saying goes,
“Every coin has two sides”， and sports is without exception. We may hurt others or ourselves if we
are not careful enough. So we should take exercise properly.
In a word, regular exercise together with a positive attitude can be of benefit to us, so let's take
an active part in it!
