Earl Forlales, a graduate in Materials Science and Engineering, took inspiration from the bamboo hut his grandparents lived in outside Manila and created a house made of bamboo that can be put together in four hours to solve the chronic（长期的）shortage of affordable accommodation in the Philippines. His design won a 50,000 top prize from the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors（RICS）in its Cities for our Future competition.
His house, known as Cubo, could be produced in a week, constructed in four hours and costs 60 per square meter. Its use of bamboo — which releases 35% more oxygen into the environment than trees — was praised by the judges. The ability of the houses to be constructed in any bamboo-producing area was one of the key attractions.
“The world’s cities are growing all the time and there is a real need to make sure they are safe, clean and comfortable places to live in,” John Hughes, the competition’s head judge and president at RICS, said. “As we look at our competitors, who are our next generation of leaders, I believe that real progress will be made in tackling the world’s biggest issues.”
Forlales has already identified a suitable area of land to start building his Cubo houses. He plans to begin the work next year with experts from the RICS in an attempt to help relieve the huge pressure on housing in Manila, where a third of the 12 million population live in poor districts. He said, “I would like to thank RICS for the opportunity, and look forward to working with them to put this money to good use in Manila and then hopefully elsewhere around the world.”
24. What contributes most to Forlales’ winning the prize
A. The material of his house.
B. The shape of his house.
C. The design of his house.
D. The expense of his house.
25. Which word can best replace the underline word “tackling” in Paragraph 3
A. Facing. B. Treating C. Covering. D. Handling.
26. What can we infer about the Cubo house
A. It is created by Forlales and his parents.
B. It can be constructed in a week.
C. It has already been built in Forlales’ hometown.
D. It is environmentally friendly and economical.
27. Which of the following provinces can Forlales’s design be applied to
A. Jilin.
B. Inner Mongolia.
C. Sichuan.
D. Xinjiang.

200,000 miles from Earth, the crew of the third manned mission to the Moon faced an astronaut’s worst nightmare: an explosion on the spacecraft. It’s what happened in the Oscar-winning film Apollo 13, but it’s also a true story.
The lift-off of Apollo 13 took place on 11th April 1970. Two days into the mission, the three-man crew were in big trouble. They had been carrying out routine checks when there was a loud bang. Warning lights were starting to flash. Looking out into space, they could see a trail of gas — the spacecraft was leaking oxygen. They sent out a short message to the scientists back on Earth: “Houston, we’ve had a problem here.” At first, they thought that a meteor（流星）had hit them, but they later found out that a short circuit（短路）had caused an oxygen container to explode. Whatever the cause, they knew there was no time to lose. Their electricity supply in the command module（指令舱）depended on that oxygen and pretty soon they would run out of both.
The only solution was to move into the lunar module — the section of the spacecraft that would have landed on the Moon. Now though, they were using it as a kind of lifeboat. With its own power supply, oxygen and water, the three men could survive in the lunar module and return to Earth. There was another problem though. In an enclosed space like a lunar module, the carbon dioxide the crew was breathing out was dangerous. The equipment to clear the air of carbon dioxide was only built for two people. Now it had to deal with three. Amazingly, the crew managed to build an adapter out of materials onboard to reduce the carbon dioxide to a safe level.
There was one final obstacle. The lunar module wasn’t strong enough to reenter Earth’s atmosphere so the crew had to go back into the damaged command module. To everyone’s relief, the crew of Apollo 13 arrived safely in the South Pacific Ocean on April 17th. Although the crew didn’t land on the Moon, NASA still considered the mission a success.
28. What was the astronauts’ first reaction to the explosion
A. They went out to land on the Moon.
B. They informed scientists on Earth.
C. They moved into the lunar module.
D. They looked into the cause of the explosion.
29. How did the astronauts solve their oxygen situation in the lunar module
A. By moving back to the command module.
B. By lowering the carbon dioxide level.
C. By creating a new oxygen supply.
D. By limiting the oxygen use.
30. What’s the attitude of NASA towards the mission of Apollo 13
A. Disappointed. B. Surprised. C. Content. D. Indifferent.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. A Successful Mission
B. An Amazing Adventure
C. Deep Space Exploration
D. Life and Death Drama in Space
D
Have you ever walked to the shops only to find, once there, you’ve completely forgotten what you went for Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend For years we’ve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of aging as wrinkles and gray hair. But now a new book suggests that we’ve got it all wrong.
According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s — much later than previously thought.
Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we keep them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years it’s been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.
This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive（认知的）tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, older people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving. Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed — how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.
Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with aging. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when we’re younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older we’ve learned our lessons and are aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.
32. Barbara Strauch probably agrees that ____________.
A. the young are better at handling important things
B. people’s brains work best between their 40s and 60s
C. aging leads to the decline of the function of the brain
D. wrinkles and gray hair are the only symbols of aging
33. The continuing research has found older people perform better on ____________.
A. perceptual speed
B. number ability
C. vocabulary tests
D. body balance
34. People are happier with aging because ____________.
A. they learn to value the time left
B. they know how to share feelings
C. they cannot focus on negative aspects
D. they do not realize the possible dangers
35. What is the main idea of the passage
A. People get happier with age.
B. People get wiser with age.
C. People get more forgetful with age.
D. People get more self-aware with age.
