Maurice Mountain is a retired lawyer in Washington D. C. He developed a prototype(原型)for a device he calls Presto Emergency Boat Ladder. His invention is a small folding lad?der that attaches to the side of a boat to help people who fall into the water. Mr Mountain plans to mass-produce his boat ladder.

He created his invention at a workshop called TechShop. Mr Mountain says, "I think it encourages innovation. 1 think people who probably have had ideas rolling around in the back of their minds for years but have never had the opportunity to actually put them into production or even experiment with them would find this place wonderful. Members of TechShop use high-tech equipment to develop and produce ideas they have for inventions. " Isabella Musachio manages a TechShop in Arlington, Virginia. She says the shop has many different kinds of equipment.

"TechShop is a do-it-yourself maker space. So when you come in we have all these different areas of the shop, and we have a metal shop, a wood shop, lasers, 3-D printers, and electronics. I mean, we have so many different areas and we have all the equipment that is available to anybody above the age of 12."

Membership costs for TechShop start at just over $ 100 per month. Members are able to use costly machines inclu?ding 3-D modelling tools and laser cutters. Isabella Musachio says TechShop helps its members build their dreams.

"Our motto is 'build your dreams here' because you can really come in with just an idea, and then with the help of TechShop make that leap from an idea to building your pro?ject on your prototype or even your business.，，

Jim Newton is the founder of TechShop. He first intro?duced the idea for the technology workshops at an arts and sciences event called Maker Faire in San Mateo* California in 2006. His idea attracted hundreds of members during that event. Now, there are eight TechShop locations in the US. In all, there are more than 6，000 members. Two more Tech?Shop locations in the cities of St. Louis and Los Angeles will be set up.

  1. The invention Mr Mountain invented will be used to

    A.     save the drowning people

B [2015'東北三省四市教研聯(lián)合體高考模擬]

Melbourne, Australia

Melbourne is a hot-spot travel destination, and it's easy to see why with its beautiful beaches and busy city life.

Why it's a great choice: Australia as a whole is consid?ered a safe destination for international travel, and because of that, many solo travellers go there. In this English-speaking country, you won't be faced with any language barriers. Mel?bourne is easy to get around because you can walk or bike practically anywhere!

Thailand

Thailand is great for solo travellers―perhaps because of its Buddhist mindset, which promotes equality among the sexes.

Why it's a great choice: Thailand is known for its friend?ly atmosphere, and in this travel hot spot, there are plenty of chances to meet other like-minded travellers. Well known for cheap commodity prices, especially in the north, Thailand is a good choice if you want to get away on a budget. Thailand has a lot to offer, from the party-central Bangkok to beautiful beaches and tropical(熱帶的)jungle.

Hong Kong, China

Hong Kong is a great place to relax for solo travellers as it is full of "Zen moments", such as beautiful gardens and t'ai chi classes.

Why it's a great choice: Hong Kong is regarded as one of the safest cities in the world. If you're not well-travelled, or perhaps a bit tired of things like language barriers, Hong Kong is a great place to start, as it mixes both Eastern and Western cultures at the same time. 

Bali， Indonesia

 Bali is a spiritual place with yoga, spas, organic food and beaches. The combination of friendly people and splendid vis?ual culture has made Bali number one tourist attraction.

  Why it's so great- you won't be the only solo traveller in Bali. Everyone is known for being extremely friendly and you're sure to meet some amazing characters along the way. As a Hindu island, Bali is the perfect place for a relaxing and spiritual retreat(靜修).The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctua?ry in Ubud is fantastic—if you like monkeys, anyway.

5. What do the four places have in common according to the passage?

 A. They're cheap to travel around.

B. They're great for solo travellers.

C. They offer good spas and yoga.

D. There're no language barriers.

6.Where can you enjoy both convenient transport and beau?tiful beaches?

A. Melbourne, Australia.     B. Thailand.

C. Hong Kong, China.       D.  Bali, Indonesia.

7. What has made Bali, Indonesia a matchless tourist attrac?tion?

 A. Yoga, spas and healthy food.

B. Nice people and visual culture.

C. Fantastic monkeys and beaches.

D. Amazing characters and forest.

  8. What type of writing is this passage?

A. A travel diary.

B. A travel guide.

C. A business report.

D. A press advertisement.

A [2015'甘肅天水市高三二聯(lián)] The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting moments for all the children in the class. It took place during the first week of the term. Every kid was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.

Some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year. During the previous year Rita had carried out the teacher's instruc?tions perfectly. All the children knew Rita would be given the best job.

But there was a big surprise. Each child received a nor?mal job. But Rita's job was very different. She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant. Though the teacher insisted that this ant was very special, Rita felt disap?pointed. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet. However, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing some?thing special with that job of little interest.

Rita started investigating all about her little ant and gave the ant the best food, and it grew quite a bit bigger.

One day, a man, who looked very important, came into their classroom and declared, "Your class has been chosen to accompany me, this summer, on a journey to the tropical rainforest, where we will investigate all kinds of insects. Among all the schools of this region, your class has best cared for the little ant.，，

That day the school was filled with joy and celebration. Everyone thanked Rita for having been so patient and respon?sible. And many children learnt that to be given the most im?portant task you have to know how to be responsible even in what are the smallest tasks.

1. What does the underlined sentence mean?

A.     Each child got an important job.

B.     Each child got an interesting job.

C.     The perfect student got the job of everyone's prefer?ence.

D.     The most responsible student got the job of least in?terest.

 

2.What is Rita's attitude to her father's suggestion?
A. Negative.                     B. Uncertain.

C.  Totally positive.               D. Acceptive.

3.We can infer that the man who made the declaration is a

A. hunter                       B. director

C.  biologist                    D. principal

4. Which would be the best title for the passage?

 A.     Never complain about life

B.     Small tasks can lead to fortunes

C.     Men are best known by their friends

D.     Responsibility and intelligence bring good luck
