A
Can you imagine a cloud floating in the middle of your room Do you want to know what it feels like to fly like a bird Find your answers in Time Magazine’s 25 “Best Inventions”. Here, we have picked out the most interesting 4 to share with you.
Talking Gloves
Ever felt confused by the sign language used by disabled people Here is the “helping hand” you need. Four Ukrainian students have created a pair of gloves that helps people with hearing and speech problems communicate with others. The gloves are equipped with sensors that recognize sign language and translate it into text on a smart phone. Then the smart phone changes the text to spoken words.
Google Glasses
Google Glasses are like a computer built into the frame of a pair of glasses. With its 1.3-centimeter display, the glasses allow you to surf the Internet and make calls without even lifting a finger. The glasses also have a camera and GPS mapping system. Users can take and share photos, check maps and surf the Internet just by looking up, down, left and right.
Indoor Clouds
It's not virtual but a real world. Dutch artist Smilde managed to create a small but perfect white cloud in the middle of a room using a fog machine. But it required careful planning — the temperature, humidity and lighting, and all had to be just right. Once everything was ready, the cloud formed in the air with the machine. But it only lasted for a short while.
Wingsuits
The suit realizes your dream of flying like a bird. Well, not exactly flying, but gliding through the air. It increases the surface area of the human body, which makes it easier for people to float in the air. Fliers wearing wingsuits can glide one kilometer in about 30 seconds.
21. Who are the spoken words intended for through Talking Gloves
A. Trained people. B. Familiar people.
C. Normal people. D. Disabled people.
22. How can users of Google Glasses surf the Internet
A. By moving the mouse. B. By touching the keyboard.
C. By touching the frame. D. By moving the eyeballs.
23. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. Introduce some interesting inventions.
B. Encourage people to buy these products.
C. Draw people’s attention to technology.
D. Bring some pleasure to young readers.
B
There were many battles that took place during the American Revolutionary War (1775—1783), but perhaps some of the worst battles involved the American Continental Army versus the winter at Valley Forge in 1777 and 1778. Here many people believe was where the American Army was born. Valley Forge is located about 25 miles northwest of Philadelphia in the southeastern corner of Pennsylvania.
General George Washington was the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army and he decided to set up winter camp at Valley Forge. It was close to Philadelphia, which was where the British had been camping out for the winter. This allowed him to keep a watchful eye on their movements. There were high areas in Mount Joy and Mount Misery where the army could make fortifications (防御工事). Nearby was also the Schuylkill River, which was used as a barrier to the North.
The army’s stay at Valley Forge turned into a time of training. Besides Washington, two other leaders included General Friedrich von Steuben and General Marquis de Lafayette.
Steuben was born in Prussia and arrived at Valley Forge with a recommendation letter from statesman and scientist Benjamin Franklin. He trained the Continental Army using the daily drill, even in the extremely cold weather. In fact, he was responsible for writing the army’s Revolutionary War Drill Manual, which served as the standard United States drill manual until the War of 1812.
Lafayette was a French military leader, working for no pay, and asking for no special treatment. He later became an important commander in several key battles during the war.
Besides the freezing weather, it was consistently cold, wet, and snowy at Valley Forge. In addition, food was lacking, and there were very few warm clothes, shoes, or blankets. The log cabins they lived in were crowded, cold and damp, and allowed diseases to easily spread. Of the 10,000 men at Valley Forge, 2,500 died before the break of spring mostly from diseases.
Following the winter at Valley Forge, under Washington’s leadership, a better-disciplined, trained, and more powerful army, in high spirits, left on June 19, 1778. Nine days later, their first victory against the British occurred at the Battle of Monmouth in New Jersey.
24. Why was Valley Forge chosen as the site of a winter camp
A. It was key to the effective conduct of war.
B. It was an ideal place for military training.
C. It was very far from the British camp.
D. It was an area with adequate supplies.
25. Which can be used to describe the conditions at Valley Forge
A. Strange. B. Tough. C. Favorable. D. Relaxing.
26. How did the Continental Army change after the winter
A. It was taken over by the American Army.
B. It won more support from the people.
C. It had many more soldiers.
D. It became a stronger army.
C
Old Problem,New Approaches
While clean energy is increasingly used in our daily life, global warming will continue for some decades after CO emissions (排放) peak. So even if emissions were to begin to decrease today, we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate change. Here I will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation.
When it comes to adaptation, it is important to understand that climate change is a process. We are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standard, but to a constantly shifting set of conditions. This is why, in part at least, the US National Climate Assessment says that, “There is no ‘one size fits all’ adaptation.” Nevertheless, there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost.
Around the world, people are adapting in surprising ways, especially in some poor countries. Floods have become more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades. Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster. His not for profit organization runs 100 river boats that serve as floating libraries, schools, and health clinics, and are equipped with solar panels and other communicating facilities. Rezwan is creating floating connectivity (连接) to replace flooded roads and highways. But he is also working at a far more fundamental level: his staff show people how to make floating gardens and fish ponds to prevent starvation during the wet season.
Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken. Chewang Norphel lives in a mountainous region in India, where he is known as the Ice Man. The loss of glaciers (冰川) there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture. Without the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops. Norphel’s inspiration came from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring. His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation (灌溉) water. Having created nine such ice reserves, Norphel calculates that he has stored about 200,000 m of water. Climate change is a continuing process, so Norphel’s ice reserves will not last forever. Warming will overtake them. But he is providing a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able to find other means of adapting.
Increasing Earth’s reflectiveness can cool the planet. In southern Spain the sudden increase of greenhouses (which reflect light back to space) has changed the warming trend locally, and actually cooled the region. While Spain as a whole is heating up quickly, temperatures near the greenhouses have decreased. This example should act as an inspiration for all cities. By painting buildings white, cities may slow down the warming process.In Peru, local farmers around a mountain with a glacier that has already fallen victim to climate change have begun painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness will restore the life giving ice. The outcome is still far from clear. But the World Bank has included the project on its list of “100 ideas to save the planet”.
More ordinary forms of adaptation are happening everywhere. A friend of mine owns an area of land in western Victoria. Over five generations the land has been too wet for cropping. But during the past decade declining rainfall has allowed him to plant highly profitable crops. Farmers in many countries are also adapting like this — either by growing new produce, or by growing the same things differently. This is common sense. But some suggestions for adapting are not. When the polluting industries argue that we’ve lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt, it’s a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual.
Human beings will continue to adapt to the changing climate in both ordinary and astonishing ways. But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution. After all, if we adapt in that way, we may avoid the need to change in so many others.
27. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 implies ________.
A. adaptation is an ever changing process
B. the cost of adaptation varies with time
C. global warming affects adaptation forms
D. adaptation to climate change is challenging
28. What is special with regard to Rezwan’s project
A. The project receives government support.
B. Different organizations work with each other.
C. His organization makes the best of a bad situation.
D. The project connects flooded roads and highways.
29. What do we learn from the Peru example
A. White paint is usually safe for buildings.
B. Sunlight reflection may relieve global warming.
C. This country is heating up too quickly.
D. The global warming trend cannot be stopped.
30. Where can you probably read the passage
A. A travel brochure. B. A health journal.
C. A science magazine. D. An encyclopedia.

Understanding Disabilities
There are around 650 million people in the world that have disabilities, yet most people are still quite ignorant about it.
(1) What do you think of when you see the word “disability”?
Wheelchairs White sticks The Paralympics 31 The legal definition of disability is that someone has a physical or mental impairment that has a great and long term bad effect on his or her ability to carry out normal day to day activities.
This affects about 650 million of us, worldwide. 32 Most become disabled during the course of their life. So maybe the term TAB (Temporarily Able Bodied) is better for people who are not disabled, because we may not stay that way forever.
(2) 33
Imagine not being able to see,or not being able to walk. Think of all the things that would be different. How can I get my education What about my future Would my friends still want to hang out with me Will strangers laugh at me in the street Can I get my own place What job can I do
Clearly, having a disability can affect many things in a person’s life.
(3) Disability and the law.
34 It is illegal and extremely unpleasant to discriminate(歧视) against someone who is differently abled. The label “disabled” is not always helpful. Even if someone meets the legal definition, they may not see themselves that way. Instead of thinking about what is wrong with those people, or noticing what they can’t do, we should look at how we like to live, and try to make it possible for everyone to join in.
After all — what is normal 35 But better understanding would be a start.
A. How can the disabled find better jobs
B. How does disability affect people
C. People with disabilities don’t need pity.
D. Most of us have never really thought about it.
E. We should consider more for people with disabilities.
F. Only 17% of people with a disability are born with it.
G. There are laws to prevent people with disabilities being treated unfairly.

A Disabled Person I Respect Most
There are many respectable disabled people in the world. As for me, Stephen Hawking is the person I respect most.
The first time I heard of Stephen Hawking, I was moved by his devotion to the research. As a physicist, he was famous for his groundbreaking work on black holes and relativity. He was also the author of the best-seller A Brief History of Time. However, he was in poor health condition, wheel-chair bound and speechless. Only when he turned to the computer was it possible for him to speak, read and write. It was his courage and persistence that inspired people across the world.
In my opinion, no one could match him in the contributions to science. He was a great scientist and a legend and his work and legacy will exert a powerful/profound influence on the world for a long time.
