Artificial islands are not something new. What makes this island special is that . it is floating. Viva is the largest out of three man-made islands along with Vista and Tera, all situated inSeoul,South Korea. The island weighs 2,000-tons and is technically a buoy（浮标）.The island unfortunately is not carbon-neutral（碳中和）but it has solar panels which can generate electricity to power the hall, restaurants and shopping malls. MarinaBayFloating Platform Stadium
This stadium was built as a temporary solution while Singapore National Stadium was rebuilt. Now it is usedfor different sporting events, concerts, and festivals. In particular, it was once used for the opening and closing ceremonies during the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics.

Imagine that youare a superhero. Your superpowers are activated by a special suit. The suit communicates with your brain. It allows you to do amazing things with only a thought. By concentrating on strength, for example, you can kick a soccer ball across a field. By focusing on swift actions, you can jump to the top of a tree.
Such a connection between mind and machine may sound like a fantasy. To scientists, though, it is a very real goal. They are creating machines that let disabled monkeys walk. These machines may soon help disabled humans do the same. Unlike other bionic devices, these robotic “super suits” do not communicate with muscles and nerves. Instead, they have a direct line to the brain.
In 2005, doctors drilled a hole in the skull of Hutchinson, who had lost her right arm in an accident. Then they inserted a sensor onto her motor cortex (大脑皮层运动区). Wires connected the sensor to a receiver on her head. After she recovered, researchers pluggedHutchinson’s receiver into a cable that relayed signals from her brain to computers. Then they connected a robotic arm to the computers. The computerscould interpretHutchinson’s brain signals to move the arm.
Soon,Hutchinson, the computer, and the robotic arm became a team.Hutchinsonwas even able to lift her hand and drink from a cup. “She smiled when she put down that drink—that’s everything.” says Donoghue, a brain scientist.
Today other scientists are building on that success. One of those scientists is Dr. Miguel Nicolelis, who designed a whole-body bionic equipment. In 2014, a disabled former athlete kicked the first ball of the World Cup Games wearing one of Miguel’s full-body exoskeletons.
The exoskeleton was connected to brain signal sensors in the man’s cap. By thinking about kicking, he sent signals to a computer on his back. The computer then translated the signal into an exoskeleton-aided kick. Such designs may become common as scientists keep merging mind and machine.
4.Which can best describe the tone of paragraph 1?
A. Narrative and serious.
B. Persuasive and critical.
C. Informative and objective.
D. Descriptive and imaginative.
5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Reason of the experiment.
B. Results of the experiment.
C. Process of the experiment.
D. Significance of the experiment.
6. Why is Dr. Miguel’s exoskeleton special?
A. It can be used on animals.
B. It can move the whole body.
C. It was supported by computers.
D. It was connected directly to the brain.
7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Robotic suits may be widely used to help disabled people.
B. Exoskeleton is more common thanHutchinson’s bionic arm.
C.Scientific experiments are commonly carried out in football fields.
D. Disabled athletes can now play football again with the help of computer.
C
If you’re looking for a reason to care about tree loss, this summer’s record-breaking heat waves might be it. Trees can lower summer daytime temperatures by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit, according to arecent study. But tree cover in US cities is shrinking (缩减). A study published last year by the US Forest Service found that we lost 36 million trees annually from urban and rural communities over a five-year period. “If we continue on this path, cities will become warmer, more polluted and generally unhealthier for inhabitants,” said David Nowak, a senior US Forest Service scientist and co-author of the study. Nowak says there are many reasons why our tree cover is declining, including hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, insects and disease. But the one reason for tree loss that humans can control is sensible development.
Nowak says there is a downside to trees too, such as pollen allergy (花粉过敏) or large tailing branches in storms, and people don’t like sweeping leaves. But, he says, there are ways cities and counties can manage trees to help communities thrive (繁荣). Urban forests especially need our help to replace fallen trees. Unlike rural areas, it is very difficult for trees to repopulate themselves in a city environment with so much pavement and asphalt (沥青). “A lot of our native trees can’t actually find a place to drop a seed so they can regenerate,” explains
Greg Levine, co-executivedirector of Trees Atlanta. “That’s why the community has to go in and actually plant a tree because the areas just aren’t natural anymore.”
Nowak says the first step is caring for the trees on your own property (财产). “We think we pay for our house, and sowe must maintain it. But because we don’t pay for nature, we don’t need to. And that’s not necessarily true.”
8. Why does the author mention “trees can lower summer daytime temperatures”?
A. To tell the temperatures in summer are high.
B. To explain the reason of tree loss.
C. To tell trees are helpful.
D. To introduce the topic.
9. How can humans control tree loss according to Nowak?
A. Develop cities in reasonable ways.
B. Prevent fires form damaging trees.
C. Improve climate to let trees grow.
D. Decrease insects in cities.
10. Why do forests in cities need our help?
A. Because trees don’t grow in a city environment.
B. Because native trees don’t drop seeds any more.
C. Because trees in urban areas can’t regenerate naturally.
D. Because humans want to plant more trees.
11. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. Describe the importance of trees in cities.
B. Appeal people to protect trees in their surroundings.
C. Ask people to plant trees with the author.
D. Show the number of trees in theUSis declining.
D
If you think you’d like to live on Mars, you may have that possibility by 2023. A Dutch company called Mars One will soon advertise for people interested in colonizing (开拓) Mars. Ifyou have all the necessary skills, you could be one of the first colonists. Are you ready for the challenge?
You won’t have to pay for the mission to Mars. Mars One has already received money from some donors and
is hoping to get more from TV viewers who will become interested in the show where all applicants have a debate for the rare chances.
The main responsibility of the first colonists is to create an artificial environment on Mars where there is no air to breathe and no land to farm. Scientists know it’s quite possible because something similar has already been done inAntarctica.
Another problem is that space travel to Mars takes nearly a year to get to Mars and the colonists will live the rest of their lives there. When a human lives in an environment without gravity or with low gravity for a long time, the systems in the body weaken. Luckily, spinning (旋转) the spaceship can create artificial gravity, and artificial gravity can ease these problems. It will also be difficult for Mars colonists to be far from home, living in small spaces, and seeing the same people over and over. Colonists with depression could put the mission in danger. Fortunately, a few years ago, a joint Russian and European project called the Mars500 Mission studied people’s reactions in a Mars-like environment. It is viewed as a great success because scientists were able to see how people handle emotional and physical stresses.
Recent studies show that seven percent of people would want to go on such an adventure.
Mars One will soon start accepting its first colonists. Are you interested?
12. What do we know about the applicants to Mars from the first two paragraphs?
A. They will land on Mars in 2023.
B. They can get money from donors.
C. They will compete in a TV show.
D. They do not need special skills.
13. What will the first colonists do to solve the basic living problems on Mars?
A. Create earth-like conditions.
B. Build labs inAntarctica.
C. Spin the spaceship.
D. Start the Mars500Mission.
14. What can the life of the first colonists be like according to the passage?
A. Difficult and dangerous.
B. Different but adaptable.
C. Challenging and unbearable .
D. Acceptable but depressing.
15. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Mars: our final destination?
B. Ready to be Mars’ colonists?
C. Space travel: a thrilling adventure?
D. Are you a qualified Mars astronaut?
