I am working with a Microsoft Partnered consultancy who are recruiting (招募) a Data
B
Engineer to join their growing team. You will have the opportunity to work on a variety of client
projects across a number of different industries such as finance and the public sector etc.
In this role your work will focus around the delivery of projects focusing on the latest Azure
technologies. You will work directly with the organizations’ clients base, to consult with them
about their data initiatives and advise them on the best course of action when it comes to delivery
and implementation of cloud-based data platforms.
Among every generation, there are always youths ready to bear heavy burden of
responsibility and devoted to their community. Lee Hui Ling is one of them.
Lee Hui Ling was exposed to environmental and social issues at a young age. Born into a
family of artists, her mother had a strong environmental conscience, which she had expressed
through her art and passed on to her daughter.
After graduating from the Sarah Lawrence College in New York and moving back to
Malaysia, Hui Ling’s concerns for the environment grew, particularly after the Fukushima
nuclear crisis in 2011, her mother’s hometown. Hui Ling responded by setting up a Greenpeace
Malaysia online community on various social media platforms.

Strong understanding of Microsoft Azure data platform architecture
Coding experience with both Python and SQL
Experience working with Azure Data Lake and Delta Lake storage
A committed volunteer and a natural leader, Hui Ling was involved from the very beginning.
She helped to organize and lead at meet-ups in cafes and community halls, as well as run
workshops, and training. Taking direct action, she has participated in various campaigns like
Break Free from Plastic.
Salaries
This is a salaried role paying up to £60,000 per year depending on experience and a
company benefits package including bonus. This is mainly a home-based role with occasional
fully expensed visits to client sites as and when required.

activism has been normalized, and with that kind of normalization, it brings a level of safety. It
becomes a very effective way to speak about social issues and affect change.”
Feld, McNair, and Wilk placed wood and concrete in a machine to determine the amount
of stress needed to break the underside of the objects. A wood block can bend by about one
centimetre before it breaks, which requires a force of 500 newtons. Concrete blocks only need
to be bent one millimeter before breaking, but since the material is hardly bendable, that
displacement requires 2,500 to 3,000 newtons. And because some energy is lost upon collision
(碰撞), the fist needs to apply even more force than that in order to actually break the blocks.
Thankfully, the human hand is capable of generating a very high degree of force in a very
short time. The team discovered that within this brief time, “the hand of the Kung-fu master can
apply a force of more than 3,000 newtons.” The team’s model indicates that the hand must reach
a speed of 6.1 meters per second to break wood and 10.6 meters per second to break concrete.
They write, “the former speed is within range of the beginner, but the latter one calls for training.”
The obvious follow-up question: “How is it that the hand of the Kung-fu master is not hurt
by the force of the strike?” Here, it’s science to the rescue: Human bone is five times firmer than
concrete and fifty times harder to break. Of course, it’s technique, not strength, that provides the
real power. “The precision to hit the center of the board makes kung-fu not only an excellent
physical discipline but also a mental one.”
An artist and educator, Hui Ling organized participatory art projects in line with Greenpeace
Malaysia campaigns on deforestation, and plastic pollution. One of them was the Wings of
Paradise project, where she led a team of 30 youth volunteers in creating a 64-meter-long mural
as part of a global street art campaign against deforestation in Papua.
“
There is a climate emergency,” said Hui Ling. “However, there is a beacon of hope in the
youth activism of the last few years. The youths of today are well organized, and passionate in
expressing their desire for positive change and a green and sustainable future for all.”

D．To manage the trick of breaking concrete.
C．To fight against plastic pollution.
D．To honor young artists across the globe.
29．What can be inferred about barehanded breaking?
C
A．Bendability is a contributing factor. B．Kung-fu masters can break all objects.
C．Concrete bends more before breaking. D．More energy is lost when breaking concrete.
30．What do Kung-fu beginners need to successfully break concrete without injury?
A．A hand speed of 6.1 meters per second.B．Excellent academic discipline.
A team decided to perform an experiment inspired by their collective passion for Kung-fu.
The group was made up of Michael Feld, a physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
undergraduates Ronald McNair and Stephen Wilk. They wanted to know: How can a bare hand
break a solid block of wood or concrete without injury? What’s the trick?
C．A large amount of practice.
D．The precise measurements.

1．What is the last paragraph mainly talking about concerning the strike?
characteristics crucial to species identity.
A．Its follow-up experiments.
B．Its influence on human bones.
Both Mallet and Rosser think there are many more hybrid butterfly species out there. To
find these hybrid species, people need to start gathering genomic data for all butterflies.
32．What implication does the discovery of H. elevates have?
C．Ways to improve its effectiveness.
D．The trick of avoiding bone injury.
D
In 1837, Darwin sketched a “tree of life” in his notebook, 12 years before the publication
of his Origin of Species. Since then, the tree has been routinely used by biologists to explain how
new species emerge from a common ancestor. But some scientists believe that new species can
also arise from two parental species combining their genomes (基因组).
A．It discredits a theory.
B．It explains a phenomenon.
C．It justifies an assumption.
D．It corrects a misconception.
33．Which is hard evidence indicating H. elevatus is a hybrid?
A．Its body size.
B．Its behaviors.
Now there is proof.
C．Its mating preference.
D．Its color pattern.
Today, scientists report in the journal Nature that the Amazonian butterfly species
Heliconius elevatus arose from the combining of two others. By comparing the genetic blueprints
of other butterfly species, researchers led by Harvard University research associate Neil Rosser,
demonstrated that the H. elevatus genome is a mixture of 1 percent of the species H. melpomene
and 99 percent of H. pardalinus.
34．What did Mallet and Rosser do about H. elevatus in the two decades?
A．They preserved its key habitats. B．They disclosed its real identity.
C．They changed its genetic mechanism. D．They improved its unique appearance.
35．What is the best title for the text?
A．Hybrid Butterflies Found
Two decades ago, Mallet realized that all the close relatives of H. elevatus wore a pattern
called “tiger mimicry ring.” H. elevatus, on the other hand, wore a “nailhead ray” outfit that was
only shared by H. melpomene, a distant relative. It was as if H. elevatus showed up at the family
reunion with an outfit borrowed from a stranger. This was a smoking gun that H. elevatus was a
hybrid (杂交的) species, but Mallet had to wait for two decades for genomic data to confirm his
suspicion.
B．Darwin’s Theory Overturned
C．Genetic Map of New Species Completed
D．Breakthrough Made in Butterflies’ Preservation

If you’ve ever been on a long-haul (长途的) flight, you’ll know that it can be challenging
to keep yourself rested and occupied for that many hours, especially if you’re not flying first-
While Mallet and colleagues gathered genomic sequences of Heliconius butterflies, Rosser
set up butterfly cages to observe H. elevatus behavior. The combined effort of Mallet’s genomic
sequencing and Rosser’s behavioral studies led to the discovery of key regions in the H. elevatus
genome associated with color pattern, host plant preference, and mating preference. To Rosser
and Mallet’s surprise, all of these crucial genes came from H. melpomene.

Start by dressing for comfort. Since you’ll be in those clothes for over 24 hours — from the
time you leave your home till you reach your destination — you’ll want to make sure that you’re
wearing comfortably. Pick out casual clothes with loose-fitting tops and bottoms.
They also don’t restrict blood flow, which could be an issue when you’re sitting for so long.

Also bring along your own earphones as the ones provided by the airline may not fit comfortably
