Recently a growing number of foreign universities，such as the University of Cambridge，are
accepting China’s gaokao results as one of their admission standards. Is the Chinese college entrance exam
being recognized globally？Forum readers share their opinions：
Cecilia Zhang（China）
The gaokao is a really tough exam. If possible，it can be used as one of the indicators（指标）for
foreign universities，in addition to other indicators，such as how well they speak the target language. The
students，who perform well in the gaokao，also have the ability to successfully adapt to Western styles of
education. I believe accepting the gaokao as an indicator is a win-win for Chinese students and overseas
universities.
Wchao37（US）
In fact，gaokao is perhaps much more difficult than the SAT or ACT exams. You can get a perfect
score of 1600 on the SAT but not in the gaokao，partly because the SAT is a machine-scored multiple-
choice exam. Do you know anyone that has ever achieved a perfect score in the gaokao？
Harry01(UK)
Hundreds of students from China have entered universities in the UK using their gaokao scores, which
requires that their knowledge of English be above a certain level. This measure has benefited specific
groups of students from various backgrounds in China.
Mbursian (Canada)
In order to attend a university in an English speaking country, a student needs to have an acceptable
band score on the IELTS. Most importantly, students need an acceptable knowledge of the language spoken
in any country they plan to study in. Now the Chinese gaokao is closer to meeting the requirements of
different countries.

A facial recognition app，recently developed by scientists，will make it easier to identify（辨认）
pandas.
Wan Yongqing，a Beijing photographer，visits Sichuan Province to take photos of pandas every
other year. He has watched them for more than a decade. "My friends say I’m a big panda fan. It is a shame
that I find all pandas look the same，with black eyes and white fur. It does not matter as all the pandas are
cute to me，"he said.
Yet，identifying one panda from another does mater to researchers，according to Zhang Zhihe，
chief of the Chengdu panda research base.
“Identifying individual pandas is important for conservation（保护）management and research. For
captive（圈养的）pandas，it is important for their daily feeding schedules，family background and data
management. For wild pandas，it helps researchers study their population structure and provides scientific
support for their protection and management，”he said.
China has carried out four scientific surveys on wild pandas，and now has a big databank about them.
The number of wild pandas in China is mostly known. However，itis still dificult to determine the age，
sex，health and other specific information about the population.
“Itis diiculto track and watch the stucture because wild pandastend to live alone, dep in the mountains,
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂and their living environment is vast,”Zhang added.
In 2017, the Chengdu base began researchingindividual panda identification technology by analyzing
images. Over the past two years, they have built a databank of more than 120,000 images, over 10,00 video
clips, and completed organizing nearly 10,000 images.
Using the databank, researchers have started a facial recognition app that can accurately recognize
captive pandas by analyzing and comparing the unique features of panda faces.
Panda researchers hope the data and Al technology will help them analyze data for both captive and
wild pandas.
37. How does Wan Yongqing feel about the pandas?

For most people， a cinema experience is not complete without a bag of popcom，but believe it or
not， there’s actually a guy trying to get popcom forbidden at the theater．
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Mike Shotton has never been able to enjoy himself there because his experience is always destroyed
by having to bear people chewing popcorn． He finally lost his patience when he went to watch Star Wars
with many children eating popcorm．
“The noise has annoyed me since I was a little kid，” Shotton said．“I’m the kind of person that if
I hear something in the background， I focus on that until that’s all I can hear．I was really looking
forward to Star Wars． I couldn’t believe the amount of noise during the film—it completely destroyed my
viewing”
So the 39-year- old started a petition （请愿） on petition-buzz． com， hoping to get rid
of popcorn from cinema across the U． K．“I call on you now to stand with me， and tell others
that no longer are we prepared to let this destroy our film viewing，” he said．
Unsurprisingly， his petition has only received 126 signatures so far． In fact，someone started an
opposite petition in response， arguing that popcorn is an important part of a cinema experience．
However， more people were in support of Shotton， and he actually won．
“My next plan is to start a further petition which， if it gets enough signatures， will mean it has to
be decided by the government whether it'll be forbidden，”he said．“I’m also planning to campaign
（领导运动） outside cinemas and explain to people about the petition and trying to encourage them not
to buy popcorn when they go into the cinema．”It sounds great， but I think people love popcorm too
much for this to actually work．
24．What does Mike think of popcorn in the cinema?
A．It suits the atmosphere． B．Its noise is disturbing and annoying．
C．It is a means of making profits for cinemas． D．It brings more pleasure when watching
films．
25．How does Mike evaluate himself ?
A．He has a bad temper． B．He can get along well with others．
C． He likes doing everything on his own． D． He is easy to be disturbed by surrounding
noise．
26． Why did Mike start a petition?
A．To destroy their film viewing． B．To stop popcorn entering cinemas．
C．To call on the government to take legal action． D．To attract more viewers' attention to his
bravery．
27．What can be inferred from the passage?
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂A．Mike finally achieved success in the petition．

There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a simple
question from the cashier：“Paper or plastic?”Well， which type of bag would you choose?
Although all types of bags have some influences on the environment， it has long been thought that
paper bags are kinder． They are made from a renewable source， break down easily， bum without
giving off thick smoke and can be recycled． However， the producing process behind paper bags uses
more energy than that of plastic ones．
How can this be true?
Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag
production． And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher． Besides， the
influence on forests is very serious． It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper
bags， which happens to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly． In terms of
recycling， the idea that paper bags are more environment- friendly than plastic ones can be quickly given
up． Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does paper．
Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones ， plastic still seems to be
considered by governments as the more harmful of the two． In Ireland， for example， a tax has been
introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags． People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag， and
as a result， their use has dropped quickly．
There’s no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags． However， we don’tseem to be
doing that at present． That may be because they fall apart quickly． If so，cloth bags are a better
choice， but still， their production also has a bad influence on the
environment． So what to do? How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic?” It seems
that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question：“What can I do to help the environment?”
28． What’s commonly believed about paper bags?
A．They are convenient to use and recycle． B．Producing paper bags doesn’t cost much．
C．They are more environmentally friendly． D．Paper bags can be used by people for free．
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂29．What can we learn from the studies?
A．Making plastic bags needs more water．
B．Plastic bags have a serious influence on forests．
C．Much less energy is needed when recycling plastic bags．
D．Making paper bags needs as equal energy as plastic ones．
30．How does the Ireland government discourage the use of plastic bags?
A．Appeal to consumers to use paper bags．
B．Reduce the energy in the production of paper bags．
C．Raise people’s awareness of environmental protection．
D．Ask consumers for extra money if they use plastic bags．
31．What will be probably talked about in the following paragraph?
A．The measures the government will take．
B．The disadvantages caused by plastic bags．
C．The action we can take to protect the environment．
D． The differences between plastic bags and paper bags．
