The Coolest Inventions
Easy-On Shoes
In 2012, Matthew Walzer, a high school student with a disability, sent a note to Nike. “My dream is to go to college,” he wrote, “without having to worry about someone coming to tie my shoes every day.” Nike assigned a design team to the challenge. This year, they came out with their solution: the FlyEase. The basketball shoe can be fastened with one hand. A pair of Nike FlyEase shoes sells for $ 130.
An Oceans Vacuum
There’s a collection of plastic rubbish in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It’s bigger than Texas and growing. The way to clean it up now is to catch it with nets. That is both expensive and slow. Instead, the Ocean Cleanup Project suggests a 62-mile-long floating wall that would use natural currents to trap rubbish . If next year’s trials succeed, a full cleanup operation would aim to start in 2020. It could reduce the rubbish by 42 % over 10 years.
An Airport for Drones (无人机)
As Amazon, Google, and others get ready for drone delivery service, there is one big question: What kinds of home bases will their drones have? Rwanda, in Africa, may have the answer. There, workers will soon start work on three “drone ports”. The goals is to make it easier to transport food, medical supplies, electronics, and other goods through the hilly countryside. Construction is set to be completed in 2020.
21、What do we know about Nike?
A、It offers free shoes to the disabled.
B、It is designing new shoes frequently.
C、It responded to Matthew’s request unwillingly.
D.、It provides customer-friendly services.
22、What’s the advantage of the Oceans Vacuum?
A、It can catch rubbish slowly. B、It can save money.
C、It can damage plastic into pieces. D.、It can be put into wide use soon.
23、Why is Rwanda setting up “drone ports”?
A、Because road travel there is rough.
B、Because there are too many drones.
C、Because they’re easier to construct than roads.

Tu Youyou, the 86yearold Chinese female scientist,received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in Stockholm on October 5, 2015. Tu is the first Chinese Nobel winner in Medicine for her discoveries concerning a novel treatment against Malaria.
Based on a fourthcentury traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) text, together with her team, she discovered artemisinin(青蒿素)from sweet wormwood through trial and error, the key drug that has reduced death rates of malaria. Tu delivered a speech titled
“Artemisinin is a gift from TCM to the world”. She has demanded more research into the benefits of traditional Chinese medicine and called for joint efforts worldwide to develop more uses for TCM, which she called “a great treasure with thousands of years' history ”. She said that by combining TCM with modern scientific technologies, “more potential can be discovered in searching for new drugs”.
According to the WHO, more than 240 million people in Africa have benefited from artemisinin, and more than 1.5 million lives have been saved since 2000 thanks to the drug. Apart from its contribution to the global fight against malaria, TCM played a vital role in the deadly outbreak of SARS across China in 2003.
Besides treating viruses, TCM has been most effective in treating difficult multisource illnesses, and using nonmedicinal methods such as acupuncture (针灸疗法) and breathing exercises.
However, TCM is seldom understood or accepted by the West. “Tu's success will bring more recognition and respect for TCM,” experts say. The Western world should learn to appreciate the value of the treasures of TCM, which will lead to more basic scientific research into ancient TCM texts and ways to explore research findings worldwide.
24、Which of the following is true? ______.
A、Tu Youyou discovered artemisinin easily.
B、Tu Youyou was the first Nobel Prize winner in China.
C、Tu Youyou got the Nobel Prize for her research into TCM.
D、Tu's discovery of artemisinin has helped cut Malaria death rate.
25、What benefit does TCM bring to people?
A、It helps save 240 million lives in China.
B、It will probably help develop new drugs
C、It helps carry out scientific research worldwide.
D、It helps fight against only malaria and SARS .
26、Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A、TCM : a great treasure to the world
B、Artemisinin : a key drug to fight against malaria.
C、Tu Youyou’s success and influence on TCM.
D、Tu Youyou’s research into the value of TCM .
C
This year, Facebook, the social media website, announced that it would cooperate with several news organizations—including The New York Times and the BBC—to place news stories directly into users' personal Facebook web pages.The deal shows how important social media has become to news organizations, and is a clear sign of how the world of news is changing.
Many thought of it as the death of the newspaper, when Google News began in 2002. It had no human editor. Instead, Google used, and still uses, a computer programme that selects news stories according to the readers' personal interests. More recently, the Associated Press and Yahoo have been publishing computerwritten articles. Both use special software to automatically produce stories about company financial results and sports reports—areas where the quality of writing is felt to be of
secondary importance to the accuracy of the data.
I think we should be concerned about such developments. One concern is that Facebook, Google and other social media websites see journalism as a sideline(副业), a way of putting people in front of advertisements. It isn't their main function—so if it stops making them lots of money, they're likely to stop doing it.
There's another concern that computerwritten articles are not actual journalism at all, because what a human news team produces is actually quite complex. A wellwritten news story offers a voice to each side of an argument and brings the public new knowledge.
Although economics and the speed of delivery mean readers will probably choose a computerwritten story over a carefully shaped article—at least for daily news—I don't think the computers will be writing any indepth articles for a while yet.
27、Computerwritten news reports have focused on sports and finance because ________.
A、these are the most popular topics for online readers.
B、information on these topics is more easily available.
C、writing quality is less important than accuracy in these areas.
D、there are fewer journalists specializing in these areas
28、What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A、Business. B、Journalism.
C、Facebook. D、Advertising.
29、In Paragraph 4, which of the following is a characteristic of a wellwritten news article?
A、The information presented is up to date.
B、The author's opinion is clear.
C、The language used is beautiful.
D、Different views on the topic are presented.
30、What is the main purpose of the article?
A、To express concern about recent trends in online news.
B、To advise readers against reading computerwritten news.
C、To report on a new computer service offered by Facebook.

Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

M: Can you stop by the grocery store after work today? We’re out of milk, eggs, and bread. I have a big meeting this afternoon, and I’ll be home late.

W: Hi, I bought this dress yesterday and I just discovered a hole in it. Is it possible to exchange it?
M: May I take a look, please?
W: Sure.
M: Thanks. Oh…I’m afraid we don’t have the same size in blue anymore.
W: What about one size larger?
M: Size 9 has sold out, too. We only have this blue dress in size 11 and 12 now.

W: I don’t cook much, but my husband does. I’m sure he’ll love those, especially the dishwasher.
M: Great. I think you’ll like the bedrooms. There are two. One is large and has a bathroom in it. It also has new carpet and big windows. The second bedroom is small, though. Perhaps you could use it as an office.
W: Actually, my husband is a musician, so it’ll be his music room. Is there another bathroom?
M: There’s one small bathroom in the hallway — it only has a toilet and a sink. But the one in your bedroom has a big bathtub.

Hey, April’s almost here! Time for Bike Month at Davis High! Skip the bus and ride your bike to school instead! It’s healthier and much more fun when you ride with your schoolmates! Many of our staff members already ride their bikes to work regularly, so you’ll probably see them on the road to school. Mr. Eng in the science department is a frequent bike traveler. He lives ten miles from the school but always makes it here to teach the early math class at 7:30. He also competes in bike races on the weekend. Ms. Krupp’s pink bike is always locked up at the front of the school by the time Principal Dave arrives. During this Bike Month, maybe some of you will be inspired to use your bikes more often. We’ll have competitions with prizes in late April. Who bikes the farthest? Who bikes the most? There will be organized bike parties on Friday evenings, too. We ride together on the city streets. It’s a lot of fun with a pizza dinner waiting at the end. So, everyone, join us for Bike Month right away!
