It's not just for fun，though；the project has some important implications.With their findings，the researchers hope to detail the effects of climate change by analyzing data on timing of breeding，survival rate of chicks，and rate of predation on chicks.
For those interested below 35 years old ，the application can be found here，with a deadline at 7：59 p.m.jye.ai August 25.International candidates can apply，but they must have the right to work in the United Kingdom and fluent in English，and those selected will have a week of training in Cambridge in October.

2．"In the future，everybody will be famous for 15 minutes，" said US artist Andy Warhol （1928-1987）.And he is quite right.Now it seems that anybody can become an instant online celebrity.
Warhol is best noted for his paintings that represent celebrity faces and US consumer goods，like Coca-Cola bottles or Campbel's soup cans.As a great influence on the twentieth century pop art movement，Andy Warhol rose to become a cornerstone in the contemporary art world，devoted to bringing his views on materialism，politics and economics to the art.Actually，the visual world Warhol created is directly connected to his background.
In the mid-1950s，the working class gathered a great deal of fortune.They wanted to achieve a higher status in society.The consumer goods and Hollywood faces are a "working-class-coded iconography （肖像；意象） that is often misinterpreted as generally 'American'." Anthony E.Grudin，author of Warhol's Working Class commented.Reproducing these themes in his work meant that people outside of the art world could immediately connect with Warhol's pictures.Considered "a creature of transformation"，Warhol constantly explored with different forms of media to evoke resonance among people.
For example，in addition to being a painter，Warhol was，in the words of UK writer Peter Wollen： "A filmmaker，a writer，a photographer，a TV soap opera producer." Warhol，in short，was what we might call a 'Renaissance （文藝復興） man'，even though he was a leader in pop or perhaps post-modern art.
In his later years，he founded Interview Magazine and wrote several books，including The Philosophy of Andy Warhol.But UK artist Gillian Wearing said， "Warhol left his mark in many more ways than his actual work." Warhol's works are all about "America，money，fame and death"，UK writer Jon Savage remarked. "He summed up，defined and in many ways symbolized the world in which we now live.
（1）What's Andy Warhol's purpose of creating his paintings？
A．To highlight Renaissance style.
B．To attain fame and higher status.
C．To combine art with materialism.
D．To challenge traditional art forms.
（2）What do Andy Warhol's paintings focus on？
A．Popular drinks.
B．Average people.
C．Commercial products.
D．Living scenes of working class.
（3）What does the underlined phrase "evoke resonance" in paragraph 3 probably mean？
A．Inspire connection.
B．Receive recognition.
C．Raise inspiration.
D．Gain sympathy.
（4）What kind of person is Andy Warhol according to the text？
A．Creative and critical.
B．Conservative and realistic.
C．Optimistic and encouraging.
D．Constructive and multi-talented.組卷：7引用：3難度：0.6 -
3．By 2050，our global population might have been beyond nine billion，bringing with it an expected 70% increase in global demand for meat and fish.As a result，the growing demand for soya-based farm feed is driving massive destruction of forests at an alarming rate，and sea animal populations have halved in the last four decades due to widespread overfishing.
With 10 million pounds funding，part of the Government's Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund，a start-up company Entocycle is leading a cooperation that will build the UK's first industrial-scale insect farm.Black soldier flies（黑水虻）are used to convert food waste from farms and factories into a sustainable，organic insect-based protein feed，as an alternative to soya，for farmed animals，namely pigs，chicken and fish.In short，the company is using food waste to create insect protein to feed the animals that we eat，while reducing carbon dioxide emissions（排放）and deforestation.
Following its formation in 2017，Entocycle spent time developing its technology as part of the European Space Agency Business Incubation Centre United Kingdom（ESA BIC UK），which is managed and partly funded by STFC.Entocycle acquired the expert knowledge to develop a network of cutting edge sensors，originally designed for use in space，to monitor and optimize（優(yōu)化）the black soldier flies' lifecycle.They combined this with big data analysis to develop their proprietary technology to mass-rear flies.scalable for industrial use.STFC's Dr Sue O'Hare，Operations Manager at the ESA BIC UK，said，"Entocycle is a first-class example of how space technology can be applied to address one of the most important global challenges we currently face—how to feed the world without harming our planet."
It is fantastic to know that the ESA BIC UK，part of the world's largest business incubation program for space tech start-ups，was able to provide the right environment and support to play a part in the early development of this world-changing technology.This is a significant milestone for Entocycle as it seeks to make a real and positive impact on making our food supply chains more environmentally sustainable.

C．By making comparisons.

（2）What does the underlined word "convert" in paragraph 2 mean？

B．Exchange.
C．Dip.
D．Add.
（3）What is the Dr Sue O'Hare's attitude to Entocycle？
A．Negative.
B．Pessimistic.
C．Supportive.
D．Ambiguous.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．Food Waste Is a Global Challenge
B．Increasing Population Threats Our Planet

D．Using Insects to Turn Food Waste into Animal Feed組卷：8引用：2難度：0.7

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
When a tornado（龍卷風） touched down in a small town nearby，many families were left completed ruined.Afterward all the local newspapers carried many human-interest stories featuring some of the families who suffered the hardest.
One Sunday，a particular picture especially touched me.A young woman stood in front of an entirely shattered （破碎的） mobile home，a depressed expression on her face.A young boy，seven or eight years old，stood at her side，eyes downward.Clutching （緊握） at her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the camera，eyes wide with confusion and fear.
The article that went with the picture gave the clothing sizes of each family member.With growing interest，I noticed that their sizes closely matched ours.This would be a good opportunity to teach my children to help those less fortunate than themselves.I stuck the picture of the young family on our refrigerator，explaining their difficulty to my seven-year-old twins，Brad and Brett，and to three-year-old Meghan.
"These poor people now have nothing，" I said. "We'll share what we have with them.I brought three large boxes down from the room upstairs and placed them on the living room floor.Meghan watched seriously，as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and foods.
While I sorted through our clothes，I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and donate some of their less favorite things.Meghan watched quietly as the boys piled up old toys and games.
Meghan walked up with Lucy，her worn，much-loved rag doll hugged tightly to her chest.She came to the box that held the toys，pressed her round little face into Lucy's flat，painted-on-face，gave her a final kiss，then laid her gently on top of the other toys.
"Oh，Honey，" I said." You don't have to give Lucy.You love her so much."
Meghan nodded seriously，eyes filled with held-back tears. "Lucy makes me happy，Mommy.Maybe she'll make that other little girl happy，too."
