According to a re

5、cent paper published in the Geological Society of American Journal by a group of researchers, Zealandia is a new continent thats _31_ beneath the ocean. Zealandia is _32_ to be five million sq km. Most of this massive area is covered by water, but its highest mountains already have their own name: N

6、ew Zealand. The small country is the only part of Zealandia that isnt underwater, but the papers authors want the huge landmass to be _33_ worldwide as its own continent. The scientific value of classifying Zealandia as a continent is much more than just an extra name on a list, the researchers wrot

7、e in their paper. Scientists discovered Zealandia all the way back in 1995, then started _34_ research on the area using underwater and satellite mapping _35_. After completing their work, they were finally able to write a report suggesting that Zealandia be named a continent. But who decides on wha

8、t is a continent and what isnt? There is, in fact, no official organization that does. Some countries schools teach that there are six or even five continents. This changes depending on where in the world the school is. Due to their _36_ as a continuous expanse of land, some classify Europe and Asia

9、 as the same continent - known as Eurasia. Schools in Russia and parts of Eastern Europe teach this. And to make things even more confusing, France and Greece, as well as other countries, classify North America and South America as simply America. This argument over how land is defined has even _37_

10、 into outer space. In 2006, the International Astronomical Union （IAU） decided that Pluto was no longer a planet, 76 years after its _38_ in 1930. Experts argued that it no longer met the requirements needed to be called a planet alongside the eight others in our solar system. It was therefore renam

11、ed a dwarf planet （矮行星）, meaning that _39_ books, models and museum exhibits all over the world had to be _40_. But will the world take the same notice of Zealandia? The best way to tell is to keep an eye on our textbooks. 三、完型填空Being Bigger isnt Necessarily Considered BetterThe firm, which famously

12、 started life in 1939, has now declared a new age: that of smaller start-up. By 2014, when Ms Whitman announcedHPs decision to separate its computer and printer businessfrom its corporate hardware and services operations, the company had grown into a clumsy _41_. Its fortunes started to _42_ with a

13、series of expensive and much criticized purchases. By 2012 it had lost its position as the worlds leading supplier of PCs to Lenovo. The dramatic _43_ was aimed at helping the firm adapt to the new age of mobile and online computing, responding to shareholder demands for more aggresive_44_. “I would

14、 go from laser jet printing to our big enterprise services contracts where we were running the back end of IT for many big companies and organizations. These two things are not like each other. So the ability to focus and engage with customers on a（n） _45_ set of objectives and business outcomes. I

15、can already see the difference.” MsWhitmann, who now heads the new spin-off, Hewlett Packard Enterprise （HPE） selling servers and services, says the change has already _46_ her performance. “One big change is it _47_ each of the divisions to pursue the strategy that is right for them. _48_ , there i

16、s no way printer and PC companyHP Incs decision last year to buy Samsungs printing business for $1bnwould have happened when it was part of the larger firm. So its that ability to drive your own program, not _49_ by other businesses that dont have the same characteristics.” Ms Whitman is so convince

17、d her strategy is working that shes _50_ HPE further, spinning off both its business services division and its software business into separate companies last year.Her assumption that bigger doesnt always mean better seems _51_. After all, a larger company should find it easier to dominate the market

18、 it operates in. But the rapid rise of much smaller start-ups, competing and often overtaking these established powerful companies means the accepted wisdom that _52_ equals success is being challenged. _53_ in 2014, eBay carved PayPal, the electronic payments arm it bought in 2001, off from the mai

Founder Aaron Levie says “Whether Uber, Airbnb, those same lessons _54_, which is if you can build something thats cheaper, faster and more scalable and delivers a far better customer experience than what the traditional

23、Shelly - its been adapted for the screen dozens of times. The story of Frankenstein is told through a series of letters written by Captain Robert Walton to his sister, as he leads an expedition（远征）to the North Pole. On the way, he meets Victor Frankenstein, whotells Walton the story of his life. Fra

24、nkenstein is the surname of the guy who creates the monster. The monster doesnt actually have a name. Anyway, Victor is a scientist whos desperate to discover the secret of life. After years of study, he makes an enormous creature out of human remains and brings it to life. Victor intends it to be b

25、eautiful. Unfortunately, the creature turns out really hideous, and Victor runs away in terror. Although the monster is good and kind, humans are scared of it. When they mistreat it, the monster becomes angry and evil. Wanting revenge on its creator, the monster murders Dr. Frankensteins brother, hi

26、s wife, and his best friend. When Victor figures out the monster is behind all the deaths, he swears to track it down and kill it. This book was written in 1816, right after a period called the Enlightenment. The Enlightenment emphasized the pursuit of knowledge and reason, and gave rise to the scie

27、ntific method. Mary Shelley criticized the Enlightenment through the character of Victor Frankenstein,“He is a negative example of an Enlightenment scientist- he pursues knowledge at any cost, and his obsession with discovering the secret of life destroys him, as well as his friends and family.” Som

28、e Enlightenment thinkers might have seen such a loss as necessary for the advancement of science, but not Mary Shelley. She and her husband, poet Percy Shelley, were part of the Romantic Movement in art and literature. Romanticism was a reaction against the Enlightenments embrace of rationality and

29、reason. The Romantics emphasized emotion over rationality, and thought people should feel awe and terror in regard to nature. Frankenstein incorporates all these ideas. To Shelley, Frankenstein doesnt fear and respect the world of nature enough- she says that by tampering with nature, he brings abou

30、t complete disaster. Frankenstein is not just a great Romantic novel. Its also considered one of the first major works of science fiction. It influences a whole generation of writers, and the monster has become one of the most recognizable figures in Western culture.56. Which of the following is closest
