Linda and NikoBWhen I was 16 years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn't the first time that I had been abroad. Like most British children, I learned French at school and I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn't understand English. But when I went to America, I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my friend Mary a ring and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking like being lost and asked if he could help me." Yes," I said." I want to give my friend a ring."" Well, that's nice," he said." Are you getting married? But aren't you a bit young?"" Who is talking about marriage?" I replied." I just want to give my friend a ring to tell her I've arrived. Can you tell me where there's a phone box?"" Oh!" he said." There is a phone downstairs."When at last we did meet up, Mary explained the misunderstanding to me." Don't worry," she said to me." I had many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from usBritish. You'll soon get used to all the funny things they say. But most of the time British and American people can understand each other!"4. Where was white from?A. He was from America.B. He was from France.C. He was from Britain.D. He was from China.5. The writer thought in America.A. he wouldn't have any language difficulties.B. he would not understand Americans.C. the Americans might not understand him.D. he would have difficulties at the airport.6. The writer wantedA. to buy a ring for his friendB. to make a call to his friendC. to go to the telephone companyD. his found to see him off7. From the passage we can see that" give somebody a ring"A. means the same in America as in BritainB. means "call somebody" to the old manC. means "be going to get married"D. has different meanings in America and in BritainCMany of us don't pay much attention to the importance of eye care. It is said that if you take care of your body then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in a number one place.There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like having not enough food, genes and aging(老化). Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you happen to work in front of the computer, it is best to take a break every once in a while. Something dirty can cause redness and it will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays.Eating healthy food will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises which can protect your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.All above are natural ways of eye care that help us to keep healthy eyes. Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person's eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.8. is the most important way to protect our eyes.A. Nature eye careB. Taking medicineC. Seeing the doctorD. Being happy all the time9. All the following courses can lead to bad eyesight exceptA.agingB. heightC.readingD. computers10. What should you do if you have to work in front of the computer?A. Eat healthy food.B. Clean the eyes by using cold water.C. While a pile of sunglasses.D. Have a rest after working for a while.11. Which is the best title of the passage?A. Ways of Eye CareB. Ways of Eye ExercisesC. Ways of Being HappyD. Ways of Being HealthyDIf you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice. There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of sentences, the meaning of unfamiliar words etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare a notebook for yourself so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skilful at your reading, and then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or, if you are goodat listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.If you follow this pieces of advice you are speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort, they will become perfect.12. According to the author, which should you improve first amount the four skills.A. Reading and listening.B. Reading and writing.C. Writing and speaking.D. Speaking and listening.13. To improve your reading, when you read you should .A. look up all new words in the dictionary.B. spend more time studying grammar.C.think about what you are reading actively.D. copy as many words and sentences as possible.14. The author seems to agree with the view that .A. everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day.B. you needn't practice listening if you keep on reading every day.C. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening.D. you should take notes of whatever you are hearing.15. The passage is mainly about how toA. choose suitable listening materials.B. deal with new words in reading.C. improve your English as quickly as possible.D. become good at English reading and listening.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。
辽源市第五中学校2020-2021学年高一下学期期中考试英语试题
辽源市第五中学校2020-2021学年高一下学期期中考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择There are plenty of reasons why people go to the library. People go there mainly for school, for work, or for personal research. There are a few who make use of the library only when specific data or information can’t be had by any other means. No matter what your motivation for visiting the library is, you’ll surely want to set your eyes on the following four largest libraries in the worldWashington D．C．’s Library of CongressIf you’ve already watched the movie National Treasure 2, then you’ve already taken a glimpse of this magnificent library. Within this library, you’ll find all you need to answer your questions about culture, science, philosophy, history, and any other subject matter. It has been used in numerous movies. With a vast book collection at over 30 million and written in just about any language you can think of, the Library of Congress, established in 1800, definitely deserves all the fame. The public can visit the library, but only high-ranking American officials are allowed to check out books.Beijing’s National Library of ChinaSituated in Beijing and with 26.3 million books in its collection, the NLC is sure to give joy to the average bibliophile(藏书家) . Among its books, you’ll find the world’s greatest and richest complications of Chinese writings and ancient documents. Founded in 1909 and opened doors to the public three years after, the NLC also contains a lot of Qing Dynasty writings as well as a collection of literature written on bones and tortoise shells.Massachusetts’ Harvard University LibraryCompared to all the other libraries in universities in the world, Harvard University Library houses the most enormous private collection of books. Established in 1638, the Harvard Library is considered as America’s oldest. In 1764, a disastrous fire broke out and it turned a considerable number of books into ashes. Today, the library has a total of over 13 million books displayed in 90 library wings, each dealing with a particular field of study.London’s British LibraryWhen it comes to the number of items in its collection, the British Library , founded in1973, is unparalleled. It has over 150 million items, a lot of which are works circulated in the United Kingdom. The library also has scores of items from other countries and has books written in a number of languages. You will also discover that these works can be found in formats ranging from stone inscriptions(刻印文字) to digital publications. The growth rate of the British Library is 3 million pieces per year.1．Which library has the longest history?A．Washington D．C．’s Library of CongressB．Beijing’s National Library of ChinaC．Massachusetts’ Harvard University LibraryD．London’s Briti sh Library2．Which library has frequently appeared in numerous movies?A．Washington D．C．’s Library of CongressB．Beijing’s National Library of ChinaC．Massachusetts’ Harvard University LibraryD．London’s British Library3．It can be inferred from the passage that________.A．there exists the largest number of books in London’s British Library.B．people are free to check out books in Washington D．C．’s Library of Congress C．Beijing’s National Library of China was open to the public the moment it was founded D．Massachusetts’ Harvard University Library remained safe and sound because of the fire in 1764You’re sitting on the sofa, and there’s your dog, right at your feet. You stand up? He stands up. But then you head to the bathroom, and guess who comes with? Why, your dog, of course. But why? Why does your dog follow you like a shadow, no matter where you go?Ever get the feeling you're being followed? As for why your companion follows you everywhere you go, read on !“When dogs follow their owner s, there can be several scientific explanations, depending on the dog and the individual situation,”according to Mary Burch, Ph.D．, an animal behaviorist(行为学家).These explanations include:Positive reinforcement(正面强化): When your dog follows you, good things happen.Think dog food, a hot bath and taking a walk around the neighborhood. Your dog’s no dummy. And one of his many talents is learning from experience, that is “reinforcement.”Natural instinct(本能) to be part of a pack: In fact, a study out of Princeton University that was published in the journal, Science Advances, shows that your dog’s drive (驱动力)to follow you around (as well as watch you attentively and seek physical contact (身体接触) from you) lies in his genes(基因).Feel good chemicals(化学物质): Your pr esence causes your dog’s brain to release “feel good” chemicals, Dr. Primm explains, citing this study. Considering how much we as humans enjoy those feel-good chemicals, it’s no surprise your dog likes them too—and will follow you around to get some!Sense of responsibility : As you move about your home, your dog might feel that you are patrolling your territory (巡视领地) and take on the duty to assist you.4．What is the passage mainly about?A．Explanations for some dog behaviors.B．Some natural instincts of the dogs.C．The reasons why dogs follow you.D．Dogs are good friends of human.5．How does the author introduce the topic?A．By listing numbers.B．By giving examples.C．By telling a story.D．By making a survey.6．What does the underlined word “dummy” mean i n Para 5?A．cute.

But she had insisted that I come see something at the top of the mountain.So here I was, although unwilling to make the two-hour journey through fog and rain. After lunch, my daughter requested me to drive her to Barage. After a ten-minute drive, we parked the car and got out. We walked along a path that was thick with old pine needles. Huge black green evergreens towered over us. Gradually the peace and silence of the place began to fill my mind. Then we turned a corner and stopped----- and I gasped in amazement.From the top of the mountain to the slopes and valleys, were rivers of daffodils(水仙花) in full bloom. A sea of amazing colors, like a carpet before us.It looked as though the sun had tipped over and spilled(洒落) gold down the mountainside. At the center hung a waterfall of purple hyacinths. Here and there were breathtaking tulips.A series of questions filled my mind. Who created such beauty? When? How?As we approached(接近) the house , we saw a sign that read: “Answers to the Questions: I Know You Are Asking.” The first answer was: “One Woman-Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain.” The second was: “One at a Time.” The third: “ Start in 1958.”I was so moved by what we had seen. “She changed the world,” I said, not getting over the shock, “one bulb at a time. She started almost 40 years ago, probably just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it.”“Imagine,” I said, “if I’d had a vision and worked at it, just a little bit every day, what might I have accomplished?”Carolyn looked at me, smiling. “Start tomorrow,” she said. “Better yet, start today.”8．Why did the author decide to visit her daughter?A．She missed her very much.

B．A moving story of a mother’s love. C．A special sign on the way home. D．A valuable lesson from a woman.Britain has long been known for its love of tea, but people in London also drink a lot of coffee. In fact, the average Londoner reportedly drinks 2.3 cups of coffee every day. And now, waste coffee grounds will be used to help fuel part of the city’s transportation system.A technology company announced on Monday that some buses will be using a biofuel that contains coffee oil. The company, Bio-bean, and its partner, Argent Energy, say they have made enough coffee oil to power one of London’s famous double-decker buses for a year. The announcement made Bio-bean a trending story on social media.The government agency Transport for London has been turning to biofuels to cut production of carbon emissions. A carbon emission is a gas produced by the burning of carbon. The gas is released into the atmosphere. London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, said last m onth that his city has a “health crisis….caused directly by poor-quality air.” The government has taken steps to discourage people from driving cars that do not meet European Union emissions requirements.Bio-bean said Londoners produce over 200,000 tons of coffee ground waste a year. The company said it collects waste grounds from chain coffee shops and factories. The grounds are dried and processed to remove the coffee oil.“It’s a great example of what can be done when we start to re-imagine waste as an untapped resource,” said Bio-bean founder’s Arthur Kay. The coffee fuel technology has been received support from the oil company Royal Dutch Shell.12．What can we learn from the first paragraph?A．Tea is very popular with British people.B．Londoners love drinking coffee as well as tea at present.C．Nowadays, Londoners prefer drinking coffee to drinking tea.D．Waste coffee grounds will be made good use of in London’s transportation system. 13．What made the company Bio-bean much-concerned on social media?A．Collecting waste coffee groundsB．Cooperating with its partner, Argent EnergyC．Powering a double-decker bus using coffee oilD．Making coffee oil out of coffee waste coffee grounds14．What is Sadiq Khan’s attitude towards the cars using conventional fuels? A．Neutral. B．Concerned. C．Casual. D．Appreciative. 15．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A．The coffee fuel technology has earned wide-spread acceptance.B．The Bio-bean is the first company to turn some wastes into bio-fuels.C．The supply of coffee grounds waste in London is guaranteed in a way.D．People have not attached importance to some so-called wastes widely.二、七选五Most of us are too young to decide what we truly want to do for the rest of our lives. Fortunately, with proper planning, most of us have the chance to get a degree. 16．This article will help you get to know some degrees and make the best choice.An MBA is a common choice. But it’s important to recognize the divisions(划分)of an MBA and how each will pay out. 17．Students will learn how markets work and how organizations add to and benefit the economic environment.A degree in biomedical engineering is unique. It combines engineering with the biology of medicine. Engineering students will work alongside medical students to create cutting-edge technology. The coursework needs a lot of effort. 18．A degree in chemical engineering is another difficult but high-paying degree to get. 19．They will try to use chemical and biological process in engineering. The future is bright for these degree holders. Many research jobs and food science jobs are coming out.20．This new addition to engineering can really bring in a large amount of money. Students will focus on computers, mathematics and physics. All these combined will push them into upper-level engineering careers.A．But which degree will pay you the most?B．The next is electrical and computer engineering.C．Graduates should expect to continue in research.D．It is fair that nurses will bring in a higher paycheck.E.Students will study engineering with a chemical focus.F.Make sure you are doing an MBA at a widely accepted university.G.An MBA in economics will prepare you for a career in management or consulting.三、完形填空He lost his arms in an accident that claimed his father’s life---who was the main21 of support for the family.

AThe week -long Spring Festival holiday starting on Feb 11 is usually a busy, moneymaking movie screening season in China. It will see the release of eight movies, all domestic productions, according to the schedule already disclosed by film data platforms.Detective Chinatown 3, the newest installment in China’s well -received Detective Chinatown film franchise, topped the list of most -anticipated holiday films compiled by movie -ticketing platform Maoyan.A sequel to the 2018 comedy hit Detective Chinatown 2 that grossed 3.4 billion yuan ($526 million), Detective Chinatown 3 is set for release on the Spring Festival that falls on Feb 12.

The total box office revenue in the first ten days of 2021 exceeded 2 billion yuan, up by more than 730-million -yuan year on year.The market’s total earnings in 2020 were 20.4 billion yuan. Of these, the top 10 earners were all domestic productions, according to official figures.1．How many movies are set to hit theaters during the week -long Spring Festival holiday? A ．Nine. B ．Eight.C ．Seven.D ．Six.2．Which movie can’t you watch if you are only free on Feb 12? A ．Hi, Mom B ．Detective Chinatown 3.C ．Boonie Bears: Tire Wild Life.D ．My First Love is Eighteen Years Old . 3．Who are the target readers of the text?A ．The general public.B ．Movie experts.C ．College freshmen.D ．High school students.BOver the last decade, Grandpa Ron, as the students call him, has volunteered thousands of hours every year to be with local school children—but it wasn’t until classes moved online due to COVID -19 that Ron Jacobson realized his impact. That impact reached far deeper than being a school volunteer. And those students were now missing the hugs he gave them every mornings.Back in March 2020, Jacobson had already volunteered for 900 hours during the 2019-2020 school year by the time Cle Elum -Roslyn Elementary in Ronald, Washington, closed its doors and turned to online teaching.“These kids who relied on me being there for them had suddenly lost me,” Jacobson said. “When they started doing their schoolwork online, several said that they missed Grandpa Ron.”The school received so many requests for Grandpa Ron that it added Jacobson’s email address and home address to the school’s online directory (通讯录), allowing students to keep in touch with Jacobson. Students immediately began sending Jacobson emails and letters and even coming to his home to check up on him and offer to walk his dog.Jacobson now responds to each of the students, adding a bright spot to the students’ days and his own. “I am happy to listen to the kids’ problems as well,” Jacobson said. “I have heard from school teachers and parents how much this regular communication has changed the kids’ attitudes.The Veterans of Foreign Wars has honored Jacobson—a Vietnam veteran (老兵) —by naming him a此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号spokesman for their campaign, StillServing, which shows many ways America’s veterans continue serving even after leaving the army.“The Marine Corps taught me the two important things: finish the task and take care of your troops (军队). I’m still taking care of the troops,” Jacobson said.It’s just that they are 75 years younger than he is.4．How did the school react to the school kids’ requests?A．It sent Jacobson to visit them in person.B．It asked Jacobson to write to all of them.C．It showed every student’s email address.D．It offered Jacobson’s contact information.5．How did Jacobson feel about the online communication with the students?A．Pleased.B．Worried.C．Tired.D．Confused.6．Why was veteran Jacobson regarded a spokesman for StillServing?A．He still served in the army.B．He trained many volunteers.C．He continued to serve others.D．He encouraged kids to serve.7．What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to?A．School teachers.B．Vietnam veterans.C．Local school kids.D．Young volunteers.CA popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves — the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too ashamed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably answer in a similar manner. Or harsh(刻薄的) and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words have power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊) and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.8．What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A．Not sticks and stones but words will hurt usB．Encouraging words give us confidenceC．Negative words may let us downD．Words have a great effect on us9．Why there is no need for us to feel ashamed when we talk to ourselves?A．Almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves.B．Talking to ourselves can has positive effect on us.C．Talking to ourselves always gives us courage.D．It does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone.10．What does the underlined sentence mean?A．Praise ourselves. B．Remind ourselvesC．Make ourselves relaxed. D．Give ourselves happiness11．What can we learn from the text?A．Encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers.B．Negative words may stimulate us to make more progress.C．People tend to remember friendly words.D．It is better to think twice before talking to others.DIf you are fond of learning languages, you must start learning Chinese. English is the most widely spoken language in the world and it is a more powerful language in all fields. But it is expected thatChinese, which is one of the six official languages of the United Nations (UN), will be the most important2language in the coming years. What are the reasons behind the rapid spread of this language and why should you learn it?My desire to learn languages was the reason why I studied many Latin languages and in the process, I deepened my knowledge of the languages and literature. However, I did not feel self-sufficient (自给自足的) from this knowledge. I gained a lot of information about the Western world. But my thinking was always about Asian civilizations. I always felt I needed to learn Chinese to be a global citizen because “without learning Chinese, we see with one eye”.My contact with many international organizations and government institutions made me believe that Chinese is one of the most important languages of our time. After visiting the world’s most celebrated capitals such as Paris and London, I discovered that Chinese language can be seen everywhere in these places. In the subway in Paris, you will hear instructions in French, English and Chinese. In London, for example, the Chinese language was introduced for instruction in schools.China is an important political and economic country because it is making great economic progress that has never been seen before. The world is watching China with great surprise, and this peaceful Chinese rise makes us decide to focus on learning the Chinese language and knowing more about Chinese culture.To be a global citizen these days, I would advise you to learn Chinese. It will add more beauty to your life and allow you to better understand Chinese civilization.12．What can we learn about languages in the future according to the first paragraph?A．Some of them will disappear.B．More official languages will be added to the UN.C．English will still have an advantage over others.D．Chinese language will probably be second to none.13．What do the examples in Paragraph 3 show?A．Paris is a wonderful capital city worth a visit.B．Chinese learning is very popular in schools in London.C．People in some western countries like speaking Chinese.D．Chinese language is playing an important role in the world.14．What mainly causes Westerners to start learning Chinese according to the text?A．The rise of Chinese economy.B．Their love for language learning.C．Their curiosity about Asian culture.D．The long history of Chinese civilization.15．What could be the best title for the text?A．How to be a global citizenB．Chinese — the language you must learnC．What you should know about Chinese cultureD．Chinese economy—the most powerful engine第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）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。

Not wanting to keep the superstar waiting, I arrived at nine, 20 minutes early. As I was catching up on e-mails, Selena quietly scooted into the seat next to me. No bodyguard. Not even a drop of makeup. She was ten minutes early and so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much. Selena was wearing Bebe shorts. She had a baby face and ordered a hot chocolate.After making small talk about what she wore for the shoot, she dived into the subject of her career. Selena declared 2012 the year of movies. She filmed three: Spring Breakers, a drama; The Getaway, an action flick; and Hotel Transylvania, a comedy. Each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.Now that her Disney days are behind her, Selena is at that unstable point in a child star's career where she is trying to grow up-both as a person (she turned 20 in July) and as an artist. “Being part of the Disney Channel was a blessing, and I'm super happy with what my show accomplished, but acting is something I would like to take on more seriously.” She continued, “I don't necessarily feel accomplished. I want to create a whole different persona when it comes to acting.”Selena has been working full time since she was seven years old and scored a role on Barney & Friends. In 2007, when she was offered the lead in Wizards of Waverly Place, Selena, her mother, and her stepfather uprooted from Grand Prairie, Texas, to LA, where they are settling now.4．When did Selena arrive at the low-key coffee shop?A．At 10:00.B．At 9:10.C．At 8:50.D．At 9:30.5．The underlined word in the first paragraph probably means .

A nearby farmer told Joe that there was gold in the soil of his new land. Joe believed and told his sons about it.His sons actually began digging for gold in the land. Once they finished one piece they would start another. They began to realize that digging for gold was fun! Seeing that, Joe thought he would plant some crops where the dirt had been turned thoroughly. He planted com, tomatoes, and potatoes. His sons continued to dig through the soil, determined to find gold.As each different crop became ready to be harvested, Joe started to realize that there was more than he and his family could ever eat. One of Joe 's neighbors suggested that he set up a vegetable stand. Joe and his wife did that very thing. This process went on for three years and Joe and his wife became quite rich from it. They were even able to send their sons off to college.Remember at the beginning of the story Joe was told by his new neighbor that there was gold in the land? Well, the truth is, Joe' s understanding of the English language was less than perfect. His new neighbor friend actually told him that his land had rich soil.Go out and believe that there is gold in all your challenges so that you can be inspired to pursue(追求)all that you need. The fate will never give up on you, if you never give up on yourself.8．What made Joe believe that there was actual gold in his land?A．His desire to send his sons to college. B．His dream to become wealthy.C．His poor understanding of English. D．His trust in his neighbor.9．Joe's three sons took digging for gold asA．a pleasure B．a challengeC．a lie D．a dream10．How did Joe deal with his too many crops?A．By leaving them in the landB．By selling them to others.C．By giving them away to neighbors.D．By exchanging them for gold.11．The best title for this passage would beA．Telling a white lieB．Achieving wealth from landC．Digging for goldD．Accepting challenges in lifeTime TravelIf you could travel in time,where would you go?Perhaps you would watch a performance of a Shakespeare's play in Elizabethan England?What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period?Or maybe you'd voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing.Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years.Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine,which was written by H.G.Wells and published in 1895 for the first time.It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name,as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations.It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively.The term"time machine",coined by Wells,is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.But could time travel actually be possible?Some scientists say yes,in theory.They propose using cracks in time and space called"wormholes",which could be used as shortcuts to other periods.Einstein's theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship-going at nearly the speed of light.Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task.Even if you could travel into the past,there is something called the"grandfather paradox".It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason,and therefore prevent himself from being born.If the time traveler wasn't born,how would he travel back in time?And would you really like to visit the future?In H.G.Wells' book,the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs.He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles(触角）。
