It's the near populations have fallen sharply and 80% of species are forests are so

rare that you need to make a booking to visit one. Birds also face Arctic terns,a species evolved to

fly across the world on4000kmannual journeys，are on their last migration (迁徙) to Antarctica.

The Last Migrationby the Sydney-based writer Charlotte McConaghy is a different sort of climate novel，one

in which the heroine's(女主人公)damaged soul is as much a story as the damaged environment

This is McConaghy's first work of literary fiction,after a history publishing in science fiction and a romantic

fantasy series.

"I wanted to try and engage with the climate crisis closely,"she said."It's hard to nail down where he book

came I had Toni Morrison's words in my head:'If there's a book you really want to read,but i hasn't been

written yet,then you must write it.'I love that. It really speaks to me.""

I wanted to write about the way the natural world is disappearing but I didn't know a way in."The way in”, she

says, was to"go travelling.I went to Ireland and Iceland,and thought about these incredible journeys of the terns

and these people who study hes journeys."

The book became a story of a double journey: the migration of the birds,and a broken woman's travelling to

the end of the earth.

Much of the book is told in flashbacks, the action jumping between the south coast of New South Wales to

the west coast of Ireland and to Greenland.

"I've always been fascinated with Ireland: the landscape, the people and the poetry and music.I was

fascinated with writing a character from there. It was a way to connect more with the place."

McConaghy says she also wanted to have a character who was"of two places"."I had lived in 21 houses by the

time I was 21, as a result I definitely know how it feels to feel as if you are not sure where you belong and feeling

as if you are between two worlds."

It’s easy to do easy things, but they don’t carry the challenges and rewards of doing something difficult. Scott Kelly

said he tried to express that view everywhere he went. And he spoke from experience, having spent a career that

included the time as a NASA astronaut, US Navy captain, fighter pilot, and engineer.

Scott spoke at the University of North Alabama, sharing stories about his experience of spending a year on the

International Space Station (ISS). He said the physical pressure of living in weightlessness for a year was hard to

describe and that the fluids(积水) in his head sometimes made him feel like he was standing on his head. It also

needed some time to recover when he returned home. “My legs were weak and it would be uncomfortable to sit

for a while because my body hadn’t had that pressure so long,” Scott said.

He discussed life aboard including spending time with Russian astronauts. They came from different cultures. He

had managed to get along well with everyone aboard as they lived together, worked together, and had to rely on

each other. He thought it was one of the most rewarding things in his life.

Though life there was not easy, Scott never regretted being an astronaut and going to space. He also discussed

experiences growing up, admitting that he wasn’t always the greatest student but was able to overcome that

through hard work and determination.

“Never give up or lower your dreams. If you work for it, all things are possible. There is a zero percent chance of

succeeding if you don’t even try. And when you succeed after trying hard, you’ll find it really rewarding,” Scott said

in the end.

8. Scott mentioned his experience in the ISS mainly to show ________.

A. he enjoyed making speeches B. he was a responsible astronaut

C. his life in space was challenging D. the daily life of an astronaut can be boring

A. He won some awards through teamwork.

B. He found the fun of living in the Space Station.

C. He learned to develop close relationships with others.

D. He picked up some knowledge of Russian culture.

10. Which of the following can best describe Scott?

A. Kind and thoughtful. B. Curious and humorous.

C. Easygoing and sociable. D. Hardworking and determined.

11. What does the author intend to tell us from Scott’s story?

A. It’s importantto have a dream B. Easy things are also worth doing

C. A suitable career leads one to success. D. Difficult things are demanding but rewarding

D

For most thinkers since the Greek philosophers, it was self-evident that there is something called human

nature, something that constitutes the essence of man. There were various views about what constitutes it, but

there was agreement that such an essence exists—that is to say, that there is something by virtue of which man is

man. Thus man was defined as a rational(理性的) being, as a social animal, an animal that can make tools, or a

symbol-making animal.

More recently, this traditional view has begun to be questioned. One reason for this change was the

increasing emphasis given to the historical approach to man. An examination of the history of humanity suggested

that man in our time is so different from man in previous times that it seemed unrealistic to assume that men in

every age have had in common something that can be called “human nature.” The historical approach was

strengthened, particularly in the United States, by studies in the field of cultural anthropology (人类学). The study

of primitive peoples has discovered such a diversity of customs, values, feelings, and thoughts that many

anthropologists arrived at the concept that man is born as a blank sheet of paper on which each culture writes its

text. Another factor contributing to the tendency to deny the assumption of a fixed human nature was that the

concept has so often been abused as a shield(盾牌) behind which the most inhuman acts are committed. In the

name of human nature, for example, Aristotle and most thinkers up to the eighteenth century defended slavery.

Or in order to prove the rationality and necessity of the capitalist form of society, scholars have tried to make a

case for acquisitiveness, competitiveness, and selfishness as natural human characters. Popularly, one refers

cynically（愤世嫉俗地）to “human nature” in accepting the inevitability of such undesirable human behavior as

greed, murder, cheating and lying.

Another reason for disbelief about the concept of human nature probably lies in the influence of evolutionary

thinking. Once man came to be seen as developing in the process of evolution, the idea of a substance which is

contained in his essence seemed untenable. Yet I believe it is precisely from an evolutionary standpoint that we

can expect new insight into the problem of the nature of man.

12. Most philosophers believed that human nature ________.

A. is the quality distinguishing man from other animals

B. consists of competitiveness and selfishness

C. is something partly innate and partly acquired

D. consists of rationality and undesirable behavior

13. The traditional view of “human nature” was strongly challenged by ________.

A. the emergence of the evolutionary theory B. the historical approach to man

C. new insight into human behavior D. the philosophical analysis of slavery

14. According to the passage, anthropologists believe that human beings ________.

A. have some characters in common B. are born with diverse cultures

C. are born without a fixed nature D. change their characters as they grow up

15. The author mentioned Aristotle, a great ancient thinker, in order to ________.

A. emphasize that he contributed a lot to defining the concept of “human nature”

B. show that the concept of “human nature” was used to justify social evils

C. prove that he had a profound influence on the concept of “human nature”

D. support the idea that some human characters are inherited.
