33、ncil and ink are helpful in exploration and translationBCarpe diemseize the dayis one of the oldest philosophical mottos in western history. First used by the Roman poet Horace more than 2,000 years ago, it still keeps an extraordinary resonance (共鸣) in popular culture. It is unusual that an express

34、ion from a long-dead language generates more than 25 million online search results. Yet just as striking is the fact that there is not one carpe diem, but many. While usually translated as “seize” the day, the original Latin is sometimes interpreted as “harvest”, or “enjoy” the day. These variations

35、 (变化) tell us that carpe diem means different things to different people. For some its about taking a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, while for others it is about living calmly in the present moment. We might casually use the term carpe diem when chatting with a friend, but how many of us are aware

36、of its many personalities hidden beneath the surface?In our age of distraction, where we are checking our phones an average of 110 times a day, grasping these different meanings is more important than ever. They are an antidote (解毒药) to the reality that we are, as Shakespeare put it, “food for

37、worms”. Life is short and our time is running out.But heres the problem: carpe diem has been hijacked (绑架). Who, or what, are the hijackers? First, the spirit of “seize the day” has been secretly hijacked by consumer culture, which has recast it as Black Friday shopping rushes and one-click buying:

38、Just Do It has come to mean Just Buy It.Alongside this is the growing fashionable belief of efficiency and time management that has driven us towards tight-scheduled living, turning the spontaneity (自然发生) of Just Do It into a culture of Just Plan It.A third hijacker is digital entertainment that is

39、replacing energetic life experiences with screen-based pleasures. Rather than Just Do It, we increasingly Just Watch It instead.Finally, carpe diem has been hijacked by the mindfulness movement. While mindfulness has many proven benefits, from reducing stress to helping with depression, one of its u

40、nintended consequences has been to encourage the narrow idea that seizing the day is primarily about living in the here and now. Just Do It has become Just Breathe.Challenged by these hijackers, the art of seizing the day is disappearing and we urgently need to do something about it, or else risk lo

41、sing touch with the carpe diem wisdom of humanity that has accumulated over the past two thousand years. 58. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 2? A. People often create different situations for carpe diem.B. Carpe diem should be better interpreted than before. C. People usually scr

42、atch the surface of carpe diem. D. Carpe diem should be replaced with new terms.59. By mentioning Shakespeare in Paragraph 3, the author wants to emphasize_. A. we should try to expand the length of our life B. we should treasure every moment of our life C. we should use effective medicine to cure d

43、iseases D. we should check our phones to avoid distraction60. Which of the following can best prove carpe diem has been hijacked? A. Just Do It has come to mean online shopping rushes. B. Just Do It has come to mean a casual way of life. C. Just Do It has come to mean workout in the gym. D. Just Do

44、It has come to mean a really relieved mind.61. What is the authors purpose in writing this passage? A. To justify some different applications of carpe diem. B. To explain the four hijackers of carpe diem nowadays. C. To advocate returning to the original meaning of carpe diem.D. To compare peoples d

45、ifferent interpretations of carpe diem today.CLarger brain size linked to longer life in deerThe size of a female animals brain may determine whether they live longer and have more healthy offspring (后代), according to new research led by the University of Cambridge. The study, published in the Royal

46、 Society Open Science journal, shows that female red deer with larger brains live longer and have more surviving offspring than those with smaller brains. Brain size is passed down through the generations. This is the first extensive study of individual differences in brain size in wild mammals and

47、draws on data comparing seven generations of deer. Across species of mammals, brain size varies widely. This is thought to be a consequence of specific differences in the benefits and costs of a larger brain. Mammals with larger brains may, for example, have greater cognitive abilities that enable t

48、hem to adapt better to environmental changes or they may have longer lifespans (寿命) . But there may also be disadvantages: for instance, larger brains require more energy, so individuals that possess them may show reduced fertility (繁殖力). The researchers, based at the University of Cambridges Zoolog

49、y Department and Edinburgh Universitys Institute of Evolutionary Biology, wanted to test if they could find more direct genetic or non-genetic evidence of the costs and benefits of large brain size by comparing the longevity (长寿) and survival of individuals of the same species with different sized b

50、rains. Using the skulls of 1,314 wild red deer whose life histories and breeding success had been monitored in the course of a long-term study on the Isle of Rum, they found that females with larger endocranial volumes (脑腔容量) lived longer and produced more surviving offspring in the course of their

51、lives. Lead author Dr Corina Logan, a Gates Cambridge Scholar, says, “The reasons for the association between brain size and longevity are not known, but other studies have suggested that larger brains are a consequence of the longer-lived species having longer developmental periods in which the bra

52、in can grow. These hypotheses (假设) were generated from cross-species correlations; however, testing such hypotheses requires investigations at the within-species level, which is what we did.” Dr Logan adds, “We found that some of the cross-species predictions about brain size held for female red dee

53、r, and that none of the predictions were supported in male red deer. This indicates that each sex likely experiences its own set of trade-offs (权衡，协调) with regard to brain size.” The study also showed that females relative endocranial volume is smaller than that of males, despite evidence of selecti

54、on for larger brains in females.Professor Tim Clutton-Brock, who set up the Rum Red Deer study with Fiona Guinness in 1972 and initiated the work on brain size, points out, “The reason that this kind of study has not been conducted before is that it requires long term records of a large number of in

55、dividuals across multiple generations and data of this kind are still rare in wild animals.”62. What does the new research about brain size reveal?A. Large-brain red deer tend to be more reproductive. B. Large-brain female deer survive small-brain male deer.C. Brain size causes individual difference

56、s in some mammals. D. Brain size has been increasing from generation to generation. 63. For different species of mammals, brain size varies widely in that _.A. mammals can develop different adaptive abilities B. a larger brain has its advantages and disadvantages C. different mammals are born with different lifespansD. brain size is affected by genetic or non-genetic factors64. What can we learn about the relation between brain size and longevity?A. The cause a
