Named TanSat, as “tan” is the Chi

8、nese word for carbon, the satellite moves around Earth at about 700 kilometers above the ground. There, it can “see” clearly how much CO2 there is in the air and how it is moving. How is TanSat able to do that? When sunlight travels through the air, the CO2 molecules (分子) take in different colors fr

9、om the light. The satellite then looks at these colors to find out how much CO2 there is in the air. “The TanSat has very good vision (视力), and it can tell changes in CO2 as small as 1 percent,” said Yin Zengshan, one of the satellites designers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, according to Xinhu

10、a News Agency. But there is a question. When CO2 can already be measured from ground stations, why do we need a satellite that does the same thing? The truth is that they dont do exactly the same thing. According to Zhang Peng, vice director of the National Satellite Meteorological Center, the data

11、(数据) from ground stations is limited and it does not cover the ocean area, which takes up more than 70 percent of Earths surface. But TanSat has solved the problem. It has a birds-eye view of the Earth, covering both the land and the ocean. It can also change its mode (模式) and position when looking

12、at the ocean area because the water can reflect (反射) light. This light may change the data if its normal mode is used. More importantly, China is now working on its goal of producing less CO2, starting from 2030 or earlier. To meet that goal, it will need to keep track of every bit of progress that

13、its making. And with TanSat, China will have first-hand, detailed data of CO2 emissions (排放) in different areas, provinces and parts of the ocean, no longer having to use data from Japan and the US.16.Which of the following about TanSat is TRUE?A. It collects the CO2 in different areas above the gro

14、und.B. It gets CO2 data by studying the colors of air.C. It has been developed with the help of Japan and the US.D. It has different modes to suit different weather conditions.17.By reporting that the TanSat has very good “vision”, the article shows that _.A. the satellite uses many different kinds

15、of camerasB. the satellite is very sensitiveC. the satellite can capture (捕捉) every change in CO2D. the satellite can reflect light at 700 kilometers above the ground18.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. TanSat is specially designed to reduce Chinas CO2 emissions.B. China did not have

16、any detailed data of CO2 emissions before.C. TanSat will play a key role in helping to reduce Chinas CO2 emissions.D. China is going to share its data of CO2 emissions with other countries.B Whether they are government officials, company leaders, activists, writers or artists, women play important r

17、oles in changing the world. On Dec 14, BBC Radio 4 released (发布) the Womans Hour Power List to celebrate the seven women who have had the biggest effect on womens lives over the last 70 years. The UKs first female Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who served from 1979 to 1990, was No 1 on the list.

18、Yet the judges said that it was a difficult choice, according to The Guardian newspaper. Speaking about the decision to put Thatcher in the top spot, Emma Barnett, chair of judges, said that no matter what your view of her politics (政治立场) and her leadership style, she made us think again about what

19、power means. “Thatcher was one of the most famous leaders of the 20th century.She changed how women saw how to be a woman in power, from the way people spoke to the way people dressed,” Barnett told the Breitbart news website. “She broke the glass ceiling (晋升瓶颈) and just by having a woman in power,

20、little girls knew they could do it.” Fellow judge Ayesha Hazarika made it clear that she was not happy with the top choice of Thatcher. But she said: “Whether you loved her or hated her, hers was a very important achievement. Thatcher changed a generation and a time in British history.” The list of

21、seven is made up of many different kinds of women. Many were surprised that the UKs Queen Elizabeth II didnt make the list. British Prime Minister Theresa May was also left out, along with all of todays politicians. In fact, not all are famous names. Second on the list is Helen Brooks, who set up co

22、ntraceptive (避孕的) services for women in the UK and in the words of Barnett “gave women the key to controlling their own bodies”. The list also includes the former British Labor Party Member of Parliament Barbara Castle, Australian feminist (主张女权的) writer Germaine Greer, British strike (罢工) leader Ja

23、yaben Desai, and the US singer-songwriter Beyonc Knowles. Perhaps the most unexpected name on the list is Bridget Jones, the heroine of English writer Helen Fieldings novel Bridget Joness Diary (BJ单身日记, 1996). Even though Jones is not real, she has truly changed the way women are seen and the way th

24、ey can speak. “Shes a heroine with problems. Shes the character who enabled women who didnt have children or the perfect life to laugh at themselves. Now they dont feel bad about who they are,” Barnett told The Telegraph.19. According to Emma Barnett, Thatcher was No 1 on the Womans Hour Power List

25、mainly because _.A. she served as the UKs prime minister for a long timeB. her politics and leadership style were respected by people all over the worldC. she showed the possibility of women holding key leadership positionsD. she encouraged women to become politicians20. Which adjective best describ

26、es the judges attitude toward Thatchers being the top choice? A. Supportive. B. Negative (否定的). C. Mixed. D. Doubtful.21. Which is TRUE about the women that have been included in the Womans Hour Power List?A. Most of them are famous politicians.B. Helen Brooks helped women get to know their bodies.C

27、. They have all made the most outstanding achievements in their fields.D. Bridget Jones encouraged women with problems to accept themselves.CCats hiding in boxes may be hard to understand, but they do it for a reason.If you have ever had a cat, or have watched one of the many funny cat videos online

28、, youll know that cats have a mind of their own. A lot of the things they do are hard to understand they like to climb up tall furniture, fit themselves in small spaces and attack small objects for no reason at all. Now scientists have managed to figure out what exactly is going on in the brains of

29、our little friends. According to Tony Buffington, a veterinarian (兽医) and professor at Ohio State University in the US, cats strange behavior largely comes from their way of life back in the wild. “Cats today still have many of the same instincts (本能) that allowed them to live in the wild for millio

30、ns of years,” he said in a TED Talk. “To them, our homes are their jungles (丛林).” In the wild, cats are hunters. Their bodies and great balancing (平衡) abilities allow them to climb to high spots to better look at the environment. Even though they dont have to hunt anymore in human houses, they still

31、 keep the old habit of viewing the living room from, for example, the top of the refrigerator. Cats hunting instinct is also what makes them attack small things like keys and USB drives. In the wild, they hunt whatever they can get, and most of the animals they kill are small. However, cats can also

32、 be prey. This explains why they like to stay in small spaces like drawers or washing machines they are hiding, or they think they are hiding, from more dangerous animals. This is also why cats prefer a clean litter box (猫砂盒); a smelly one could easily show enemies where they are. But knowing how cats minds work is not only useful for better un
