【題目】April 22nd every year marks the start of Earth Day, a day that is celebrated every year to raise awareness(意識)about our home planet and how we can save it from being damaged. 1

1. Green up your home

This is one of the most common things that people do whenever Earth Day rolls around, that is , switch off their lights. 2Conserve (節(jié)約)energy by switching off all power of electricity points whenever they are not on use. In addition, take out all the plugs(插頭) from plug points even after switching them off.

Cars, being the greatest source of air pollution, can be left at home this weekend. 4Other greener choices are carpooling, riding a bike or you can also walk if you want a healthier choice and if your workplace is not that far away from your home.

3. Be a little dirty

No, we don’t mean it ‘that way’. We simply mean to say, don’t take a bath. Yes, saving water is super important. A day or two without a bath won’t harm you, but it will certainly do a lot of good for our planet. A daily shower isn’t a matter of health; it’s a matter of comfort. 5

The future of our planet is in your hands!

A. Traveling by public transport is a better choice.

B. Showering every day can wash away the natural oils that our skin and hair need.

C. Below, we have made a list of things you can do to celebrate Earth Day.

【題目】Scientists claim to have developed a revolutionary new giant 3D concrete printer that can build a 2,500-square-foot house in just 24 hours.

The 3D printer, developed by Professor Behrokh Khoshnevis from the University of Southern California, could be used to build a whole house, layer by layer, in a single day.

"It is basically scaling up 3D printing to the scale of building," said Khoshnevis.

The giant robot replaces construction workers with a nozzle (噴嘴), which can quickly build a home based on a computer pattern, MSN News reported.

Contour Crafting, as it is named, is a layered fabrication (構(gòu)造) technology. Using this process, a single house or a colony of houses, each with possibly a different design, may be constructed in a single run, embedded (嵌入) in each house all the wires and pipes for electrical, plumbing and air-conditioning.

The potential applications of this technology are far-reaching including in emergency, low-income, and commercial housing.

"Our research also addresses the application of Contour Crafting in building habitats on other planets. Contour Crafting will most probably be one of the very few feasible approaches for building structures on other planets, such as the Moon and Mars, which are being targeted for human habitation before the end of the new century," researchers said on the project website.

The technology may potentially reduce energy use and emissions. And the main advantages of the Contour Crafting process over existing technologies are the superior surface finish that is realized and the greatly increased speed of construction.

1Professor Khoshnevis has recently developed a 3D printer that can ________.

A. build a 2500-square-foot house in a single day

B. construct a skyscraper, layer by layer

C. design a group of houses automatically

D. assist construction workers in their work

2The new 3D printer uses the following to build a house EXCEPT ________.

A. a nozzle B. a computer pattern C. a robot D. an air-conditioner

3According to the text, the potential applications of Contour Crafting include building _______.

C. commercial centers D. space stations on other planets

4What advantages of this new technology is mentioned in the text?

A. It creates more jobs. B. It is less time-consuming.

C. It saves the building cost. D. It emits no carbon dioxide.

【題目】閱讀理解。

Your kids learn a lot from their friends — things you can't teach them, no matter how much you want to.

Probably the most important thing kids learn is how to have peer relationships. As a parent, you can't do this, because you and your child aren't equals.

For example, when you're sitting on your family room floor and your very young child asks you to pass him the blocks, you probably hand them right over. If your child is sitting with a peer and asks the same thing, though, he might not get what he wants.

To succeed, your child will need to learn strategies for getting what he wants. For example, he might simply yank(猛拉) the toy out of his friend's hand. If he does that, he may learn that it's not the best way of getting what he wants because it leads to fighting and timeouts. The successful child will learn that he needs to negotiate a trade, to wait patiently, or to find something else equally fun to play with.

Friends also provide emotional support, something that is part of the foundation of healthy adulthood. You can't be with your child on the elementary school playground or at the high school dance. Your child's friends will be the ones to stick_up_for her, to include her in games, and later, to tell her she looks great even if her lousy prom (糟糕的舞會) date wanders off instead of dancing with her.

Friends also help your children learn. Friends solve problems together, imitate each other, and pass on knowledge.

Some experts believe that the single biggest predictor of your child's success later in life is her ability to make friends. In fact, they claim it's even more important than IQ and grades.

This doesn't mean that the kids who are most popular in school do the best later on in life. What matters is not the number of friends a child has but rather the quality of the relationships.

This is good news for those of us who hate to think that popularity really is the Holy Grail of childhood and adolescence. While it's true that popularity has many advantages, and that many popular kids really are nice people — and not just the best dressed or best looking — it's better to have a few good friends than to have the admiration of the masses.

【1】By giving the example in Paragraph 3, the author wants to show that ________.

A.kids can learn how to deal with the relationships when they stay with their peers

B.parents should spend more spare time playing with their kids

C.kids should learn how to be polite when they ask their parents for help

D.parents can teach their kids how to be good members in the modern society in their daily life

【2】What does the underlined phrase “stick up for” in the fifth paragraph mean?

A.Envy. B.Oppose.

C.Support. D.Ignore.

【3】In the author's opinion, ________ is more important than being popular for kids.

A.getting high grades

B.having some real friends

C.developing a good habit

D.knowing how to dress themselves up

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A.How to Bridge the Generation Gap

B.What It Takes to Be a Good Friend

C.Why Friends Are Important

D.How to Be Popular in School
