阅读下面材料，然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案．
Mark Zuckerberg， who starts the social network Facebook， often wears jeans and a T﹣shirt to work， including to important business meetings． Not everyone agrees with him． Some people say he doesn't look serious this way．
Harvard Business School researcher， Franccsca Gino， has a different idea． While most people seem to think that dressing differently from those around you generally has a bad influence， shebelieves it can actually have a positive（积极的） effect． And she's done experiments to support her idea． When her researchers， wearing sportswear， visited the expensive shops an Italy， they were usually viewed as wealthier and more important people than those who were well﹣dressed in designer clothes．
Do people always view less formal（正式的） clothing more positively？ Researchers in France took their research out into the street， to the general public． The video they made shows an actor dressed in a well﹣cut suit and shiny shoes． While walking along the road， he begins to cough badly， stops to catch his breath and falls down． Before he even calls for help， people rush to help him． In another video， the actor appears at the same crowded place and repeats the actions in exactly the same way． But this time， no one comes to help． What's the difference？ He's wearing untidy clothes and looks like a homeless person． In a situation like this， the clothes you're wearing could mean the difference between life and death．
It seems that our clothing doesn't only change the way others view us， but also the way we see ourselves． In an experiment testing students' ability to pay attention to details（细节）， the group wearing white lab coats did the best．Why？ Researchers told them that they were wearing the doctors coats． The experiment didn't show whether such influences would last long． More experiments are needed in the future before we decide to make the doctors' coats a must of fashion．
（1）Mark Zuckerberg is not considered serious by some people because ．
A． he does not listen to others' advice
B． he sets up a network of video games
C． he wears jeans and a T﹣shirt to work
D． he often plays jokes at business meetings

A． It is necessary to buy expensive clothes．
B． Wearing less formal clothes is in fact good．
C． It is bad to dress differently from people around you．
D． Wearing sports clothes makes you look less important．
（3）In Paragraph 3， the writer proves（证明） his （ her ） opinion mainly ．
A． by giving reasons
B． by using pictures
C． by comparing facts
D． by listing numbers
（4）What can we learn from the passage？
A． What we wear makes a difference．
B． Formal clothing makes a wise man．

阅读下面材料，然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案．
Fresh green grass． Hundreds of colorful wild flowers． Water running into little pools． Birds making their homes in boxes． The 9， 500﹣square﹣metre Augustenborg Botanical Garden may look just like any other well﹣organized park but there's a difference． It lies on the roofs（屋顶） of industria land office buildings in the city of Malmo in Sweden．
Green roofs are not a new invention． And now they are getting popular again． The common roofs of a modern city have endless black surfaces with no life or water． Perhaps that's why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more and more people．
Green roofs are not just pretty． They also help to moderate the city temperature． The high temperatures on common roofs in the summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot． What is more， they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them， causing the "urban heat﹣island effect"． On a green roof， however， with its plants and water， temperatures change only a little， as they do in a park． This can greatly cut the costs of heating and cooling in the building below．
Also， a green roof takes in rain water， and protects the city drainage（排水） system．_____ And small animals and birds can make their homes on it． Thanks to this， the city may become part of nature， rather than something completely separate from it．
While the cost of building such a roof can still be higher， it can be cheaper in the long term as a result of energy savings． And wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to walk out into a garden high above the city's noise and traffic， whether you're at school or in an office or just at home in a ten﹣floor block．
（1）With the example of Augustenborg Botanical Garden， the writer wants to explain ．
A． how wildlife is protected
B． what a green roof is like
C． how to organize a good park
D． what to do with a spare roof
（2）The underlined word " moderate" in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to " "．
A． raise
B． check
C． record
D． control
（3）Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4？
A． A green roof is alive．
B． A green roof stops pollution．
C． A common roof is noisy．
D． A common roof increases the cost．
（4）The purpose of the passage is to ．
A． discover the problems with green roofs
B． introduce the change of green roofs
C． show the amazing beauty of green roofs
D． describe the advantages of green roofs

Everyone faces difficulties in their life． Daniel Kish was born with a special eye illness and lost his eyesight before he was only 14 months old．
Soon after， however， he started to do an amazing thing． He learned to make clicks（咔哒声） with his tongue to help him move around． Kish now moves about using sonar（声呐）． He is so good at it that he can ride a bicycle by himself on public roads． And he started the organization World Access for the Blind（WAFTB） in 2000， teaching others how to use sonar． In the interview with National Geographic， he explains how the sonar works．
"When I make a click sound， it produces sound waves． These waves reflect（反射） off surfaces all around and return to my ears． My brain then deals with the sound and turns it into pictures in my mind． Each click is like a camera flash， which helps me make a 3﹣D picture of my surroundings for hundreds of feet． It's like having a conversation with the environment．"
Kish feels it is exciting to ride a bike using a sonar， although he needs to click twice a second， much more than he usually does． "It may sound a bit dangerous to move around the world in this way，" he says． "But most people in the world live in fear of things that they imagine． I love hiking and mountain﹣biking． I go almost everywhere． And I've never had an accident and hurt myself．"
He is happy to be able to help more blind children to improve their life．"We've served over 10， 000 students in nearly 40 countries，" he tells the reporter．"Many students are surprised how quickly results come． Seeing isn't in the eyes． It's in the mind．"
（1）Kish moves around using sonar because ．
A． he is good at making clicks
B． it make him "see" the world

I live in Mentone，a quiet，simple，restful place，where the rich never come．I met Theophile Magnan，a retired，rich，old man from Lyons yesterday，in the Hotel des Anglais，Theophile looked sad and dreamy，and didn't talk with anybody else，which brought me back to the past．
A long time ago，Francois Millet，Claude，Carl and I were young artists﹣ very young artists﹣in fact．
Yes， Francois Millet，the great French artist，was my friend．
Millet wasn't any greater than we were at that time．He didn't have any fame，even in his own village．
We were all poor though we had stacks and stacks of as good pictures as anybody in Europe painted．Once a person ever offered four francs *for Millet's "Angelus"，which he intended to sell for eight．
It was a fact in human history that a great artist would never be acknowledged *until after he was starved and dead．His pictures climbed to high prices after his death．
Then we made a decision that one of us must die，to save the others and himself．
Millet was elected *﹣ elected to die．
During the next three months Millet painted with all his might，enlarged his stock all he could，not pictures，no! sketches， studies，parts of studies，fragments of studies，of course，with his cipher *on them．They were the things to be sold．
Carl went to Paris to start the work of building up Millet's name．Claude and I went to sell Millet's small pictures and to build up his name as well．
We made Millet a master．I always said to my customer，"I am a fool to sell a picture of Francois Millet's at all，for he is not going to live three months，and when he dies his pictures can't be had for love or money．"Claude and I took care to spread that little fact as far as we could．
Carl made friends with the correspondents，and got Millet's condition reported to England and all over the continent，and America，and everywhere．
The sad end came at last，Millet died， not really．He became Theophile Magnan．
The pictures went up．There's a man in Paris today who owns seventy Millet pictures．He paid us two million francs for them．Do you still remember the "Angelus"？ Carl sold it for twenty﹣ two hundred francs．And as for the bushels of sketches and studies which Millet produced in the last six weeks，well，it would astonish you to know the figure we sell them at nowadays．
We are no longer artists and Millet dead．
（1）Why did the four friends decide to elect one of them to die？

Many objects in the universe are invisible ，but they send radio waves．The radio telescope *thus appeared，and it is considered one of the greatest inventions in the twentieth century．Reber built the world's first radio telescope in 1937．Ryle and Hewish developed radio telescope systems for the location of weak radio sources，and they shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1974．
A radio telescope is usually made up of：
•One or more antennas to collect the radio waves．Most antennas are made in the shape of a dish to collect and reflect *the radio waves to the sub﹣reflector，in the same way as a curved mirror focuses visible light to one point．
•A receiver and amplifier to receive the radio waves from the sub﹣reflector，and make these weak radio waves strong enough to be recorded and turned into electronic signals *．To make an amplifier sensitive enough，it is usually cooled to very low temperatures（e．g．as low as ﹣270℃）．
•A recorder to keep a record of the electronic signals．Most radio telescopes today keep the signals to the computer's memory disk for astronomers to analyze later．
Radio wavelengths are much longer than those of visible light．and the radio waves from deep space are always weak．To catch these waves，radio telescopes usually have huge antennas．The sizes of most antennas in use today are around 50 to 300 metres in diameter． The antenna of FAST in Guizhou，China，the latest and largest radio telescope in the world，is 500 metres in diameter，as large as the size of 30 football fields．
To avoid interferences， and keep the telescopes sensitive，radio telescopes are built in places where there are no human radio waves or electronic signals．For example，FAST is 5 kilometres away from the closest village and 25 kilometres away from the nearest town．
Radio telescopes create pictures of the sky，not in visible light， but in radio waves．This is extremely useful，because there are objects that can't be seen，objects that we wouldn't even know were there without radio telescopes．
（1）Radio telescopes help collect from the universe．
A．light
B．objects
C．radio waves
D．visible signals
（2）Most antennas of radio telescopes are made in the shape of a dish to ．
A．make the antennas strong enough

（3）The underlined word "interferences" in the passage refers to ．
A．the noises made by villagers and animals
B．the sounds from the radios and televisions
C．the people who go to Guizhou to watch FAST work
D．the radio waves and electronic signals from humans
（4）What have we done with the help of radio telescopes？
A．We have received pictures of deep space．
B．We have discovered unknown lives in the universe．
C．We have found some unknown objects in the universe．
D．We have turned the radio waves from space into light．
Have you ever jumped on a trampoline？ Today many people use it for exercise．
Back in the 1980s，researchers found that jumping on a trampoline was a good way to help astronauts regain their strength．Actually，trampolining has many advantages．It helps bones*and muscles*grow and improves your balance by stimulating *the inner ear．It is especially useful for increasing flow of the lymphatic system，which helps your body get rid of harmful toxins．Trampolining has benefits similar to those of running，but without too much stress on knees and ankles．
If you would like to start trampolining，you may first need to ask a doctor to make sure it's a safe activity for you．It's easy to find an inexpensive trampoline， but it should be well﹣made and strong enough to support your weight．To avoid accidents，some trampolines have a safety net around them．Remember： whenever you are on a trampoline，be careful not to jump near the edge of it．
Here are a few exercises for beginners；
•High Knee Lift．Raise one knee at a time．Lift your knee higher than you usually do when you are running．
•Star Jump．Jump into the air and spread your arms and legs into a star shape．As you gain more confidence，practice more difficult levels：
•Tuck Jump．At the top of your jump， bring the knees to the chest*，with the arms holding the legs．
•Pike Jump．Jump high，bring the legs up，and point the toes *forward．Touch your toes with hands．
There are many more exercises you can try．Happy trampolining!
