Passage 4

Hover Camera(无人相机)

Wang Mengqiu, the inventor of Hover Camera, was born in Hangzhou in 1982. He once studied at Stanford University in the United States. He became famous overnight(一夜成名) because of the invention.

Forget selfie sticks(自拍杆)! Compared to other cameras, Hover Camera has many advantages.

*It can fly and stay in mid­air, track your face and even follow you to make sure it gets the perfect picture.

*It can be controlled by using a smartphone(智能手机)．

*It records movements with a 13MP camera and takes 4K video.

*It is the best choice for weddings, sports games and holidays.

Mr. Wang also said, “The main design consideration is easy and safe to take for the users. It's very light and small. It can be folded(折叠) in two, so it can be easily put into a bag. When the power is low, it can land on the ground safely on its own.”

It's reported that the company has raised $25 million to produce it. As it is still being tested(测试), Hover Camera can be bought later this year.

The price has not yet been decided. But a spokesman says the company hopes to sell it for less than $600.

( )1. Hover Camera can________．

A. swim in the water B. fly in the mid­air

C. change its weight D. be used as a phone

( )2. The underlined word “track” means ________．

A. pull B. follow C. push D. show

( )3. According to the passage, why is Hover Camera easy and safe to take?

A. It's light and small.

B. It can be folded in three.

C. It doesn't need power.

D. Only a smartphone can make it land.

( )4. Which is not mentioned in the passage?

A. How can we control Hover Camera?

B. When can we buy Hover Camera?

C. How much is Hover Camera?

D. How popular will Hover Camera be?

( )5. According to the passage, Wang Mengqiu is a ________ young man.

A. brave B. quiet C. creative D. humorous

Passage 5

The Building That Moves

Everyone knows that buildings don't move. They can't change the way they look. However, architect(建筑师)David Fisher wants to change that.

Fisher has an amazing idea. He wants to make 80­story buildings that change shape. Each floor will move around slowly. The floors will move at different speeds. Because of this, the shape of the building is always changing. “These buildings will never look the same，”says Fisher.

His idea is an interesting one. However, Fisher doesn't stop there. He also wants the building to be “green”. The building will make its own energy. In most buildings, only the top floor has a roof(屋顶). In Fisher's building, each floor will have its own roof. The roofs each have solar panels(太阳能板). This means a lot more solar energy. Also, machines between each floor of the building will catch the wind. They will turn the wind into energy.

Fisher's ideas sound impossible. However, that's_what_people_also_said_before_humans_traveled_into_space!

( )1. The passage is mainly talking about________．

A. buildings for the future

B. the life of an architect

C. how green buildings work

( )2. The underlined word “80­story”means the building has 80________．

A. shapes B. floors C. different speeds

( )3. Fisher's building can make its own energy because the building________．

A. is tall and always moving

B. is tall and has many solar panels

C. is always moving and has many solar panels

( )4. The Fisher's building will NOT get energy from________．

A. the sun B. the water C. the wind

( )5. Why does the writer say “that's_what_people_also_said_before_humans_traveled_into_space”？

A. To show why Fisher's building will never work.

B. To show why Fisher's building is like a spaceship.

C. To show that unusual ideas can sometimes work.

Passage 6

Pollution inside homes and other buildings kills more than 4 million people each year. Many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood­powered or coal­powered stoves.

One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment powered by the sun. Crosby Menzies, a solar power expert in a South African company, described his latest solar cooker called the “Sol­ 4”. “It is four square meters of mirrors, six to eight meters in length. It is quite a large cooker.”

The “Sol­ 4” works by reflecting (反射) light from the sun off large mirrors. The mirrors direct (把……对准) the light at a cooking pan. Then the light heats the pan with solar energy. Within two minutes, the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and onions. In just four minutes, water can be boiled. That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity.

The cooker is also much “friendlier” than other models because people do not have to stand in the sun to use it. And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal. Such individuals would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke.

At present, the cooker only works when the sun is shining.But engineers are working on a way to make it work without sunlight.

Each cooker costs about $2，000, which is a large amount of money for most Africans.To solve that problem, Crosby Menzies has created a non­govermental organization called Solar Cookers for Africa. It plans to raise money through donations to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment.

( )1. This passage is mainly about ________．

A. solar cookers B. smoke pollution

C. solar power experts D. breathing illnesses

( )2. The “Sol­ 4” is mainly used to________．

A. shorten the time of cooking

B. reduce the cost of making cookers

C. raise money through donations to help African people

D. reduce the number of deaths caused by harmful smoke

( )3. The underlined word “individuals” most probably means “________”．

A. cookers B. mirrors C. people D. experts

( )4. Which of the following about the “Sol­ 4” is TRUE?

A. It is six to eight square meters of mirrors.

B. It can work in any weather condition now.

C. It can also heat the pan by lighting firewood.

D. It is more environment­friendly than other cookers.

( )5. From the passage, we can infer that ________．

A. the “Sol­ 4” will be designed in a smaller size

B. more Africans can use the solar cookers in the future

C. the “Sol­ 4” is the first product of the South African company

D. the African government will provide poor people with solar cookers

Passage 7

Getting electricity has always been a problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo Saposoa, a small village in Peru, South America. However, things went from bad to worse in March 2015 after heavy rains damaged the only power cables in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.

Luckily，researchers at the University of Technology (UT) in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution. They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.

While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the idea is quite simple. As plants create their food(using the sun's energy, water and chemicals from the soil), they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons — the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and keep it in the lamp's batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge can power a 50­watt LED light for two hours — enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done.

The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015. So far, they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially small rainforest communities, 42% of whom have no electricity.

( )1. What are the problems of oil lamps according to Paragraph 1?

A. They are difficult to use and create pollution.

B. They are expensive to buy and easily damaged.

C. They are difficult to repair and produce little light.

D. They are expensive to use and can be bad for health.

( )2. The electricity made by the Plant Lamp comes from________．

A. plant food B. plant waste

C. the soil's heat D. the sun's energy

( )3. What is true about the Plant Lamp?

A. It can be made by local people.

B. It is much easier to use than oil lamps.

C. It can produce all the electricity the village needs.

D. The things it needs to make electricity are easy to find.

( )4. The Plant Lamp's inventor believes it could be most helpful for________．

A. rainforest communities B. cars

C. poor people in cities D. farmers

( )5. What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To report on a new invention.

B. To explain a new scientific theory.

C. To describe how electricity is made.

D. To discuss the problems of poor villages.
