A Song of Ice and Fire
is a seven-part series of fantasy
written for adults. George R. R. Martin
writes each chapter from the
perspective of a specific character, providing a
limited point of view
for each section.
The reader is able to understand the inner
workings of the individual, but the
reader is barred from a whole
understanding of the text. The world he has
created has magic, but
there is much
more than that. While magic exists, it exists on
the edge, and the inner unrest of
the
characters is much more important.
His
work
also
has
a
level
of
realness
that
is
astonishing
in
a
work
of
fantasy.
Characters
are
imperfect, and many make questionable
moral choices. In the end, however, Martin shows
that
both good and bad happen to both
the people of high moral standard and the corrupt.
He has
made it clear that any character
can die at any point, which has led to a lot of
heartbreak from
readers.
In 2011,
A Song of Ice
and Fire
became a television series
titled
Game of Thrones
.
Martin has
been
closely
involved
with the
production.
It
has
currently
run
for
seven
seasons, and
viewers
anxiously await the eighth season to
answer their questions from the season seven
finale.
His fans are
also waiting for
The Winds of Winter
and A Dream of Spring,
the next books
in the
series, to answer the questions
Martin and the television show have not yet
addressed. Martin,
however, has no
plans to rush. He has made it clear that he will
continue to write the books while
working on the television show and
writing other novels.
But how will the story continue? What is going to
happen in Westeros, and more importantly:
when are we going to find out? Martinis
skill as a writer has kept readers and viewers
spellbound.
Many hope he will finish
the next book before the next season of the show
begins, but no one
knows with Martin.
He always keeps his readers guessing.

On
a
college
camping
trip,
curiosity
about
waves
and
sand
caused
Rob
Thieler
to
study
shorelines
around
the
world.
Thirty
years
later
and
now
a
U.S.
Geological
Survey
research
geologist, Thieler,
is combining science and smartphone technology to
help study an endangered
bird, the
Atlantic Coast piping plover.
The
piping
plover
is
a
shorebird
that
breeds
（繁殖）
along
the
Atlantic
Coast,
the
Great
Lakesand the Great Plains. Rising sea
levels associated with climate change, as well as
increased
development
in
their
beach
habitats
（栖息地）
,
threaten
the
species
（物种）
.
To
help
track
changes in piping plover habitats,
Thieler developed a free app called iPlover in
2012. This is a
marked change from the
typical way scientists collect data, which
involves gathering information
using
specialized equipment or writing in notebooks and
then putting into spreadsheets.
Since
releasing
iPlover,
scientists
have
gathered
data
across
1500
km
of
breeding
range.
Thatequals about a
third of the distance across the U.S., which is a
large area to cover for only
two
thousand breeding pairs of piping plovers on the
east coast. Instead of having to travel and
spend days at each site, a number of
cooperators in the field use the app to collect
and send data,
allowing scientists to
gather data more efficiently. It also allows them
to collect data at the same
time during
each breeding season, providing a better picture
of changes that happen over longer
periods
of
time.
And
fast,
centralized
access means
scientists
can
look
at
data
quickly
to
get
a
real-time idea of where
and how piping plovers are using their
habitats.
While iPlover
is used by trained field staff, other apps like
the U. S. Geological Survey'sweb-
based
“iCoast—
Did
the
Coast
Cha
nge?”
invite
citizen
scientists
to
identify
coastal
changes
by
comparing
bird's-eye-view
photographs
taken
before
and
after
storms.
All
the
information
scientists and
citizen scientists alike collect helps federal and
state agencies create policyplans for
addressing climate change impacts
(

) worldwide.
（

）
What can we know about the piping plover?
A. Its behaviour is
changing. B. Its
habitat is growing bigger.
C. Its living environment is becoming
worse.
D. Its breeding is
limited to the Atlantic Coast.
（

）
Why
did Thieler develop iPlover?
A. To study shorelines
across America. B. To advance
information technology.
C.
To find out global climate change.
D. To monitor changes of piping plover
habitats.
（

Which of the following benefits
the shorebirds?
A. The camping equipment.
B. Research on smartphones.
C. The changeable coast.
D. Progress in technology.

【点评】
1.
要想做好科普英语阅读
理解题，同学们就要注意平时多读科普知识类文章，学
习科普知识，积累常见的科普词汇
，从根本上提高科普英语的阅读能力。
2.
要熟悉科普类文章的结构特点。科普类文章一般由标题
(Head
line)
，导语
(Introduction)
，
背景
(Back
ground)
，主体
(Main <
/p>
body)
和结尾
(End)
五部分构成。标题是文章中心思想高度而
又精辟的概括，但根据历年的高考
情况来看，这类阅读理解材料一般不给标题，而要同学
们选择标题。导语一般位于整篇文
章的首段。背景交待一个事实的起因。主体则对导语概
括的事实进行详细叙述，这一部分
命题往往最多，因此，阅读时，同学们要把这部分作为
重点。结尾往往也是中心思想的概
括，并与导语相呼应，命题者常在此要设计一道推理判
断题。
3.
在进行推理判断时，同学们一定要以阅读材料所提供的科
学事实为依据，同时所得出的
结论还应符合基本的科普常识。

Have you ever lost your car on a
parking lot? It happens. You park and go shopping.
When you
get back, you have no idea
where your car is. It can be
discouraging.
You don't
need to install (
安装
) an
expensive GPS system to keep track of your car.
That's too
expensive. You would need to
pay a monthly subscription fee just to use it. But
is there a way to
track
your
vehicle
without
spending
a
fortune?
Yes,
now
there
is!
A
California-based
start-up
company was able to make this a
reality. They created a tiny device
(
装置）
that works with your
smartphone, and it could be exactly
what you're looking for! It's called TrackR Bravo.
It's changing
the way we keep track of
the important things in our lives.
Install
the
free TrackR
app
on
your
smartphone,
connect
the
app
to
your
device
and
you're
ready to go! Simply
attach TrackR to whatever you want to keep an eye
on. The entire process of
setting it up
only takes 5 minutes or less. You can attach it to
your keys, wallet and anything else
you
don't want to lose. Then use the TrackR app to
find where your missing item are in
seconds.
Forget expensive GPS
systems
or
tracking
services.
Nobody
wants
to
pay
expensive
monthly
subscription fees. We understand how
stressful these things can be, and this is the
reason why
the company created TrackR.
This device is your VIP when you need to take care
of important
things.
If you forget where you park your
car, take out your smartphone and open the TrackR
app. Tap
on the “lost item” sign on the
screen and the app will tell you the exact
location. This device is by
no means
expensive. TrackR only costs $$29, a small price to
pay for peace of mind. The device is
small enough that you can attach it to
your pets. Put it on their collar, and you will
never lose
track of them! Attach it to
your key or wallet, and never waste a minute
rummaging the whole
house for
it.
Since
you've
been
informed
about
this
brilliant
invention,
now
attach
it
to
everything
that's
important to
you.

traditional western forms of animal
protein; less known is how to raise insect
production while
maintaining these
environmental benefits.”
“Studies overall show that insects
could make valuable economic and nutritional
contributions
to the food or fed
systems, but there are no clear regulations in
place to bring insects into such
supply
systems without them turning into a more expensive
version of poultry
（家禽）
for
food,”
says Dobermann.
The article highlights how insects
have been a source of food for hundreds of years
in more
than
100
countries
with
over
2,000
species
that
can
be
eaten;
in
central
Africa,
up
to
50%
of
dietary
protein
has
come
from
insects,
with
their
market
value
higher
than
many
alternative
sources of animal protein.
Insects need to be large enough to
make the effort of catching them worthwhile and
easy to
locate, preferably in
predictably large quantities. They are consumed at
various life stages, as raw,
fried,
boiled, roasted or ground food.

On a February day during an
unusually mild winter, found myself missing the
snowy beauty. I
enjoyed the feeling
that comes from watching snow fall gently from
heaven while I'm cosy inside
with
a
good
fire
burning
in
the
stove.
But
there
were
more
serious
concerns,
like
the
lack
of
rainfall making our woods more
accessible to summer forest fires. Local ski
fields and hotels, all
dependent
on
a
snowy
season,
felt
sorry
for
the
vacant
lifts,
empty
restaurants
and
unused
snowmobiles.
Then I happened to see three little robins
(
知更鸟
) fly into our yard.
What were they doing
here? West of us,
in the Willamette Valley, wild flowers burst this
time of year. But here in central
Oregon, even if a groundhog
(
土拨鼠
) had wanted to appear,
it couldn't have broken through the
frozen earth. And yet, these robins had
arrived.
Their presence
brought me a flow of happiness. It felt like a
celebration as I dug into my bag of
birdseed
and
spread
a
handful
on
the
ground.
Above
me,
the
deep
blue
sky
was
cloudless,
perfectly quiet but for some smoke from
a neighbor's chimney. The lively cold made the air
fresh
and clean.
My robins jumped lightly toward the seed. My soul
jumped with them, feeling equally carefree.
Caught up in the moment of spring
fever, I checked our snowless flower beds. To my
delight, I
spotted a green branch
sticking out through the brown soil.
Despite the cold, I wasn't ready to
go back inside. Just a short meeting with those
robins had
renewed my spirit. The next
day I would return to my outdoor work with a
cheerful heart and a
hopeful eye for
these signs of spring.

Many
foreign
students
report
feeling
lonely
or
unwelcome
in
Australia.
Those
feelings
are
among the reasons why Australia is
taking a close look at its international education
industry. But
wherever international
students go, making friends may not always be
easy. Elisabeth Gareis of
Baruch
College in New York surveyed 454 international
students. They were attending four-year
colleges and graduate schools in the
American South and Northeast.
Students
from
English-speaking
countries
and
from northern
and
central
Europe
were
more
likely to be happy with their
friendships. But 38% of the international students
said they had no
close friends in the
United States. And half of the students from East
Asia said they were unhappy
with the
number of American friends they had. Thirty
percent said they wished their friendships
could be deeper and more
meaningful.
Professor Gareis says, “Students from
East Asia have cultures that are different on many
levels
from the culture in the United
States. There are also language problems, and
maybe some social
skills, such as small
talks, which are possibly not as important in
their native countries, where it's
not
as
important
to
start
friendships
with
small
talks.
Many
East
Asian
students
blamed
themselves
for
their
limited
friendships
with
Americans,
for
not
speaking
the
language
well
enough and for not knowing the culture
well enough.”
VOA's
Students
Union
blogger
Jessica
Stahl
did
her
own
survey
to
find
out
how
American
students and foreign students relate to
each other. More than 100 students, about half of
them
American,
answered
her
online
questions.
Half
of
the
international
students
and
60
%
of
the
Americans
said they related as well or better to the other
group than to their own group.
Pr
ofessor Gareis says,
“International students who make friends with host
nationals are, overall,
more
satisfied
with
their
stay
in
the
host
country.
They
have
better
language
skills,
better

At one time or another
in your life you have probably done origami, even
if it was just making a
paper airplane
or something more complicated like a paper crane.
The chances are that as you
did it, you
reflected on how inventive this traditional art
is. Animals, boxes, flowers, boats: it all
can be created from a single square or
rectangular sheet of paper simply by folding it.
No cutting,
no pasting.
But
did
you
ever
stop
to
think
how
the
same
techniques
might
be
applied
to
engineering?
Equipment that
could be of real practical use? Origami meets the
demand for things that need to
be
small
when
transported
and
large
when
they
arrive,
like
the
everyday
umbrella.
In
fact,
origami-
inspired creations have already flown in space; in
1995, Japanese engineers launched a
satellite with solar panels that folded
like a map.
'It's now
mathematically proven that you can pretty much
fold anything,
J.
Lang,
who
quit
his
engineering
job eight
years
ago
to
fold
things
full

Lang,
an
origami
enthusiast since age
six, advised a advised well-known ear manufacturer
the best way to fold an
airbag
into
a
dashboard.
He
is
currently
working
on
a
space
telescope
lens
that,
if
all
goes
according to plan, should be able to
unfold to the size of a football field.
At the other end of the scale,
researchers are also working on tiny folding
devices that could
lead to
breakthroughs in medicine and computing. There's
no doubt that computers of the future
may contain tiny, folded motors or
capacitors for faster processing and better
memory.
Applications for
origami engineering go further than many of us
might imagine.
says MIT's Erik Demaine,
可重构的
) robots that can fold
on their own
from one thing into
another, like Transformers. Too much like science
fiction to be true?

These
days,
I
walk
down
the
steps
leading
toward
the
south
end
of
the
All
England
Club
in
Wimbledon,
and
still
look
for
the
Crow's
Nest,
a
small
green
observation
tower
with
an
outer
ladder that I used to climb on for a
wide view of the grounds, but which has since been
knocked
down.
The Crow's Nest was a particularly useful point,
because it allowed a tennis writer to keep track
of the action on as many as 10 outside
courts at a time. At days end, reporters from
different
nations would share notes on
what they had observed all over the
grounds.
Twenty-seven
years later, the press room has touch screens that
allow us to watch live videos
from
any
court,
and
even
go
back
to
watch
key
moments
in
key
matches
long
after
they
have
finished. You could
cover Wimbledon without leaving your seat. But
that is a bit like spending all
your
time ordering room service and looking up fun
facts on Wikipedia.
More
than at any other tennis tournament, there is also
an appetite for stories that deal with
the setting, the history and the
traditions.
If they
change the price of the fish tacos
(
鱼肉卷饼
) at the United States
Open, it's not a story.
If
they
change
the
price
of the
strawberries
and
cream,
the
signature
treat
at Wimbledon.
It's
time to email your editor using capital
letters.
The new
retractable (
可伸缩的
) roof was
put in place in 2009. Until then, you always had
to
have a rainy-day story in your
notebook because there were no guarantees any
matches would be
played. Now tennis is
a sure thing on Centre Court, which has made
tennis reporters a bit less
creative.
But at least it guarantees us daily access to the
most atmospheric place in the sport.
So much has changed, but Centre
Court remains true to its original spirit: more a
theater than a
stadium. Catching that
feeling is part of covering Wimbledon,
too.

when
evaluating
the
performance
of
a
leader.
They're
also
the
qualities
team
members want in a group leader, and
appreciate when they find them.
Take Responsibility
Group leaders might share tasks
around a group as necessary, but eventually a
group leader
needs to be able to accept
that responsibility lies on his shoulders. That
means that if things go
wrong in a
group project, he's the one who must accept the
consequences and work out what
mistakes
are made. The group leader won't always have the
power to control everything group
members do, but he should be ready to
admit any mistakes the group has made as a result
of his
leadership
Concern for Members
The
group
leader
has
a
commitment
to
the
task
or
project
at
hand,
but
perhaps
more
importantly, he has a real concern for
each and every person who is part of his group.
This means
getting to know the
strengths, weaknesses and goals of team members,
as well as making time to
build the
group through collective activities. The group
leader should make sure that everyone is
included, even if an individual is new
to a group.
Good
Listener
The group
leader needs to be able to listen to the
suggestions, complaints and ideas of group
members. Not only will this allow
complaints to be addressed and potentially
suitable ideas to be
put
into
practice,
but
a
leader
who
listens
will
also
encourage
group
members
to
share
their
concerns and thoughts, creating an
atmosphere of free speech and
productivity.
