【題目】 Every year, many inventions are introduced to the world. Some help us solve problems. Others make life easier, or more fun. Here are four of last year's best inventions.

LUMI was designed for music lovers. “We hope that LUMI can help people who have just started learning how to play music,” says the inventor Will MacNamara. The small Eumi keyboard lights up, allowing users to know which keys to press. And with the LUMI app, users can learn their favorite songs.

Millions of people around the world have to face the problem of unsafe food. Marc Oshima says his indoor farming technology can help. Instead of growing in dirt, crops grow in reusable cloth. The plants are watered with mist. This requires 95% less water than field farming.

For people who are blind, the ORCAM MYEYE 2 could be a game changer. It might also prove useful for people with reading difficulties. Described as “talking glasses”, it can read text aloud. Amnon Shashua invented the technology.

Christine Schindler is an engineer. She wanted to help stop the spread of foodborne illnesses, so she created PATHSPOT. It uses light to scan（掃描）a person's hands for harmful germs. Restaurant workers hold their hands under the scanner. Then the scanner decides whether they should be rewashed.

【題目】

We have four chickens: Pecky, Buckbeak, Mayonnaise and Cornflake. My husband, Andrew, made their coop(籠子). It’s beautifully made.

What’s more interesting is that he made it with our sons and daughter. They spent several weekends in the garage(車庫(kù)). He gave them tools because he believed it was important that they could actually make something. He slowly helped them and together, they made the coop. They also made the mistakes of learning — a board cut too short, nails smashed(打碎) by hammers — but in the end, Andrew did some tricks and the coop looked perfect.

The chickens love their perfectly imperfect home and we like to give them free range(放養(yǎng)) of the yard. Yesterday, they ran around the lawn(草坪). We needed to go downtown, knowing that chickens wouldn’t go very far. When we got back, my son, Gordon, ran to check on them. There were Mayonnaise, Cornflake and Buckbeak, looking a mess. Pecky was nowhere to be seen.

With Andrew, we searched the yard and found feathers by the trees. More feathers littered the yard. By this time, Gordon started to worry; Pecky was his favorite chicken and his eyes got watery.

Andrew picked Gordon up and held him. As we stood there, accepting that we were now a three-chicken family, we heard it — a soft clucking(咯咯聲) sound. Andrew put Gordon down and they looked under a bush. There was Pecky, a half-naked chicken. She looked weird(怪異的), but she was fine. Andrew gently gathered her up and returned her to the coop.

The next day Andrew had the kids back in the garage. They planned to fence(把……圍起來(lái)) a bigger area for maximum(最大化) chicken freedom and safety. The kids believed that the chickens should be closed in, safe from everything that likes to eat chickens. Andrew disagreed. He believed that we should be more careful, letting the chickens out when we were in the yard. He encourages our kids to take risks. He sees that the risk of living life — by having the freedom to walk slowly around and dig for small insects in the garden — is better than the safety of a prison(監(jiān)牢).

Andrew and the kids are planning their next building project. I’m sure it will include the wisdom of a father who knows how to love through the act of giving freedom.

【1】What does Paragraph 2 tell readers?

A.The family is not good at making things.

B.The kids were easily prevented by their mistakes.

C.The writer’s husband is impatient with his children.

D.The kids managed to build the coop with their father’s help.

【2】What can we learn from Paragraphs 3 to 5?

A.The family didn’t know how to keep chickens.

B.The family loves the chickens as their family.

C.The family feels troubled by the chickens.

D.The family didn’t look after the chickens well.

【3】What kind of chicken home will they probably make?

A.A stronger coop made out of the old one.

B.A bigger coop where there is no fence or anything.

C.A bigger place where the chickens will be safer.

D.An enclosed(封閉的) place with where the chickens are well protected.

【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A.Children made the mistakes of learning while making the coop.

B.In Paragraph 2, tricks means a way of doing something that works well.

C.The family lost a chicken because they went downtown and let the chickens out.

D.Andrew thinks that the risk of living life is better than the safety of a prison.

【5】What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the story?

A.To show people how to love animals.

B.To show people some tips for keeping chickens.

C.To tell kids to stay calm when bad things happen.

D.To share the wisdom that comes keeping chickens.

【題目】

In the busy city of New York, such an astonishing thing ever happened.

On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the underground station, playing his violin. Many people slowed down their paces and put some money into the hat of the young man.

The next day, the young artist came to the gate of the underground station, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. Different from the day before, he took out a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground and put some stones on it. Before long, the young violinist was surrounded with people, who were all attracted* by the words on that paper. It said, "Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Please come to claim it soon."

After about half an hour, a middle-aged man ran there in a hurry and rushed through the crowd to the violinist and grabbed his shoulders and said, "Yes, it's you. You did come here. I knew that you're an honest* man and would certainly come here."

The young violinist asked calmly, "Are you Mr. George Sang?"

The man nodded. The violinist asked, "Did you lose something?"

"Lottery. It's a lottery," said the man.

The violinist took out a lottery ticket on which George Sang's name was seen. "Is it?" he asked.

George nodded and seized the lottery ticket and kissed it.

The story turned out to be this: George Sang is a manager in a big company. He bought a lottery ticket issued by a bank a few days ago. It opened yesterday and he won a prize of $500,000. So he felt very happy after work and felt the music was so wonderful, that he took out 50 dollars and put it in the hat. However the lottery ticket was also thrown in. The violinist was a student at an Arts College and had planned to study in Vienna. He had booked the ticket and would fly that morning. However when he was cleaning up he found the lottery ticket. Thinking that the owner would return to look for it, he cancelled* the flight and came back to where he was given the lottery ticket.

Later someone asked the violinist: "At that time you were in need of money. Why didn't you take the lottery ticket for yourself?"

The violinist said, "Although I don't have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty I won't be happy forever."

【1】Where did the poor young artist play the violin?

A. In a nice hall of a big company. B. On the playground of Arts College.

C. Outside the meeting room of a bank. D. At the gate of the underground station.

【2】George Sang put _____ into the young artist's hat on Friday night.

A. some stones B. a piece of paper

C. 50 dollars and a lottery D. his air ticket and some money

【3】The young artist cancelled the flight to Vienna because he thought ______.

A. the owner would return to look for the lottery

B. he didn’t have enough money to pay for his study

C. Arts College asked him to wait for Mr. George Sang

D. people in the underground station didn’t let him leave

【4】What do you think of what the young violinist said in the last paragraph? ▲ (請(qǐng)用約40詞回答)

Taking online classes is becoming increasingly popular. Do students like this way of studying? Different students have different opinions about it.

Lin Tao

I love taking online classes. They give me a lot more choices and freedom. We can choose to learn whatever we want. Also, we are able to study online whenever and wherever we want, which is very convenient.

Zhang Yu

I didn’t think taking online classes was a good way to study in the beginning. The whole learning process was not as organized as it was in the classroom. I even had a hard time planning my daily activities.Then I found planning ahead and creating a study schedule were very important. So I made a plan for my everyday study, and it helped me learn better online.

Yuan Ming

Online class is helpful. We might feel more focused on learning when we are alone in

front of a computer. What’s more, taking classes online also means we can have more

time to use a computer, so we can practice our computer skills in this way.

Li Yuan

I think the idea of taking online classes is crazy. We have to spend more time on computers and the radiation(輻射)from them could do harm to the human body, especially our eyes. Also, sitting in front of a computer for a long time without exercising can be harmful to our health.

【1】Online classes are becoming increasingly popular, and every student in the passage has been used to this way of studying.

【2】Lin Tao likes taking online classes because he can have more time to use computer.

【3】In Zhang Yu’s opinion, a plan for daily study is useful for taking online classes.

【4】There are four reasons why Yuan Ming thinks online class is helpful.

【5】According to Li Yuan, it’s unhealthy for students to sit in front of a computer for a long without exercising.
