【题目】 Over a cup of iced tea at the midtown Radiance Tea House&Books,whose noise is not much louder than a coffee machine's,Gregory Scott Farber,a non-practicing lawyer who works as a research analyst, described SoundPrint he created as"Yelp for noise". SoundPrint allows users to search for and grade restaurants and bars according to their sound level. "laces are getting louder,"Farber said. "People tell me thirty or forty years ago you could go somewhere to eat and expect to have a conversation. "
Farber suffers from permanent hearing loss,caused by meningitis(脑脊膜炎)which he contracted when he was a baby. Like so many great inventions,Farber's invention arose from a desire to find love-or,at least,a place to have a date. "When I was dating,I put a lot of efforts into trying to pick quiet spots,"he said. "I'd google' quiet restaurants'. Then I would show up,but it would be noisy. " His hearing aid helped,but not enough. "Out of curiosity,I started taking decibel(分贝)measurements. "He sent a list of his favorite quiet places to friends in the hearing-loss community,and soon found many requests from his normal-hearing friends.
SoundPrint includes a sound-level meter,so diners and drinkers can take measurements using their smartphones,and upload data to the database. Farber said that the app brings no profit. SoundPrint covers about two thousand cities,though only fifteen have a significant number of users. Farber recently analyzed the data from 2,376 Manhattan restaurants and bars,and the findings are not good for ears. More than 70%of the former and 90%of the latter were rated as"loud"-defined as between 76 and 80 decibels,or as noisy as an air-conditioner.
【1】What does Gregory Scott Farber do for a living?
A.He sells hearing aids.
B.He develops computer programs.
C.He defends people in a court of law.
D.He makes a detailed analysis of data.
【2】Why did Farber create SoundPrint?
A.Because he wanted to earn more money.
B.Because he could hear nothing without a hearing aid.
C.Because he wanted to help his friends who suffer hearing loss.
D.Because he suffered hearing loss and wanted to find a quiet place for dating.
【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.SoundPrint can be downloaded to user's phones.
B.SoundPrint can detect noise from air-conditioner.
C.SoundPrint is widely used in 2,000 American cities.
D.SoundPrints can analyze data from restaurants and bars

【题目】 Some psychologists say that community art — art made to be displayed free of charge in a particular community — can make a big difference.
Unlike the random graffiti (涂鸦)that many people consider an eyesore, community art can bring people together and encourage respect. In the U.S. city of Philadelphia, for example, psychologists are doing a citywide project where mental health patients work with average people to paint murals(壁画). The aim of this project is to reduce the mental illness and promote a new dialogue about people who struggle with these issues.
Art also makes neighborhoods more attractive and has a unique ability to open people up. Neighbors can share comments with one another about a recently painted mural, which can challenge their prejudices and open their eyes to the world.
Businesses can also be promoted by community art. In Fort Smith, a town in the U.S. state of Arkansas, artists from around the globe came together to paint murals. One of the goals of the project was to expand the town's cultural offerings in order to attract more visitors. Not only locals but also tourists were drawn to see the murals. The money they spent while visiting the town benefited local businesses.
Generous financial support is provided for community art projects in many cities and towns. In the UK, the Arts Council England has invested nearly half a million dollars in community art. Some of it, for example, has paid for a new exhibition space created inside an old mill in the town of Brierfield. In the U.S., an organization called the Knight Foundation has invested millions of dollars in community projects, including many that focus on art.
【1】What is the purpose of the community art project in Philadelphia?
A.To replace random graffiti.
B.To deal with the issues about mental illnesses.
C.To promote dialogues about art issues.
D.To encourage respect for psychologists and fine arts.
【2】How does community art open people up?
A.By changing people' s views on prejudices.
B.By giving new life to traditional murals.
C.By providing a subject for conversation.
D.By making neighborhoods more attractive.
【3】What does the text indicate about towns like Fort Smith?
A.They can profit from art economically.
B.They provide inexpensive courses in art.
C.They've placed some restrictions on art.
D.They borrow art from other communities.
【4】What do we know about the community art in the UK?
A.It is limited to rich communities.
B.It has the support of the government.
C.It started from a mill in Brierfield.
D.It is paid for by the Knight Foundation.

【题目】 My mom was a beauty who seldom spent time and money on her physical appearance—especially in terms of fancy clothes or hairstyles. She just kept beautiful in her way: rest, water, exercise, vegetables and laughter.
My mom would tell me her father had her run his little corner store from the age of ten. She saw poor people come in, looking for food and making hard choices, like meat or cheese. She took their coins with an eye on the bottom line. It was up to her to ensure the register balanced at the end of the day. So from a young age, my mom had her mind conditioned about money.
However, my mom had one weakness: diamonds. In 1958, my teenage dad gave her a diamond chip as an engagement(订婚)ring, which she proudly wore until she saved enough for an “upgrade". By then, she was in her thirties. Over the years, my mom also acquired other diamond pieces like earrings. Mom wore them proudly and she simply loved the way her diamonds sparkled(闪耀).
On my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, I treated them to dinner at a restaurant. It made her happy, but Mom had her eye on a big diamond to mark the occasion. My dad found her a six-carat(克拉)one. Mom said each carat represented a decade that she loved my dad, plus one to grow on. For the next six years, she never took it off her finger.
Knowing how my mom loved that diamond made it more special when she left it to me. After wearing it on my hand for a year, I decided to set it into a necklace where it'd be closer to my heart. It reminds me of my mom every day, no matter what I'm doing, and it speaks to me in unique ways.
【1】What can we know about Mom?
A.She spent much on her makeup.B.She was a vain beautiful woman.
C.She kept beautiful in a natural way.D.She was proud of her appearance.
【2】What made Mom careful about spending money?
A.The words of neighbors.
B.Her life in a poor family.
C.The choice of the poor people.
D.Her experience in her father's store.
【3】Mom most probably thinks of the diamonds as a sign of_____ .
A.luckB.loveC.statusD.wealth
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Mother's Love for DiamondsB.Love Between Mother and Daughter

【题目】Five tips for emotional training
Training your children on their emotions(情绪) is the work of those adults who want to nurture(培养) emotional health. I can also say that the best emotional trainings do certain things, which I list as my 'Top Five' pointers, and here they are:
Connect
Be able to see the situation from your children’s perspective(视角). 【1】. They'll feel you're on their side and you want to understand. Speaking angrily is a sign of disconnection.
【2】
The calmer we can stay, the better chance our children have of learning how to calm themselves. Of course, there are moments when being calm feels out of the question, which is why learning how to stay calm and centered during an emotional storm is a good practice.
Listen fully
Being able to honestly hear what a child is saying can be important. 【3】. You are there for them. Even saying 'I'm here for you' can help greatly.
【4】
Children make mistakes when emotionally triggered(被触发)-like we all do, especially early on in our development. But the best emotional trainings focus on solving the 'emotional problem' rather than just punishment for a not-so-smart choice.
Learn together
【5】. We may be learning patience and forgiveness, while our children may be learning how to skillfully handle their big emotions like anger or sadness.
Children are impressionable. I remember being a young child and having a 'flashbulb moment(闪光瞬间) ' when someone said something that changed my mind. I remember everything about that moment for better or worse. So, our aim is to give our children positive flashbulb moments.
A. Be a calming presence
B. Make effective punishment
C. Focus on problem-solving not punishment
D. You can pretend to agree whatever they say
E. This doesn't mean you totally agree, but you hear them
F. We’re always learning alongside our children
G. Putting yourself in their shoes helps build a stronger connection

【题目】 A team of over 30 Chinese surveyors left the base camp at Mount Qomolangma for a higher spot on its journey to the peak on Wednesday as part of the country’s mission to remeasure the height of the world’s highest mountain.
The remeasurement of the peak’s height is a part of China’s latest large-scale scientific survey of Qomolangma. Preparation of the project was started in early March, with 53 surveyors from the First Geodetic Surveying Brigade (大地测量旅) getting stationed near Qomolangma to carry out adaptive climbing and training in other technical skills, and they are going to the survey on the top of the mountain.
To ensure the accuracy of the measurement, and to work it in a more scientific way, experts from the Chinese Academy of Surveying and Mapping, the Shaanxi Bureau of Surveying, and the China Geological Survey were invited to assist in the technical design and planning of the project from the beginning.
The technical innovation and breakthrough applied in the latest survey include the application of the BeiDou-3 Navigation Satellite System and advanced domestic surveying and mapping instruments.
The Chinese government has conducted six large-scale surveys and measurements on Qomolangma in the past few decades; it had successfully measured and announced the height the mountain in 1975 and 2005. Chinese mountaineers and researchers climbed Mount Qomolangma in 1975 to determine its height and concluded that the rock height of the peak was about 8,848.13 meters, and in 2005, the summit measured 8,844.43 meters (29,017 feet).

【题目】 Many science fiction stories tell about explorers arriving in a new world. The explorers then use some kind of high-tech device to test for breathable air or signs of life. But here on Earth, science fiction is becoming reality through a new sampling technology called environmental DNA, or e-DNA for short. Scientists can use it to identify rare species or estimate fish populations with just a little air or water.
Environmental DNA can be used in two ways. One is to identify the creatures that live in a certain place. The other is to confirm the presence or lack of a specific creature.
Caren Goldberg is one of the first biologists in the northwestern United States to take the technology from the testing stage to actually using it. She sees e-DNA as a way to get answers more efficiently, and with less destruction compared to traditional survey techniques. Until recently, scientists depended on diving deep, netting or using an electric current to temporarily catch fish.
This newer way to identify what lives in the environment is becoming popular around the world. Animal experts in Vietnam are using the e-DNA to find the last, wild Yangtze giant softshell turtles. One researcher on the Caribbean island of Trinidad is using the sampling technology to find endangered golden tree-frogs. And in Madagascar, it is being used to identify amphibian (两栖动物) diseases.
Ms. Goldberg has used e-DNA testing to confirm the local extinction of a leopard frog in the American state of Idaho. She has also been asked to document the spread of the New Zealand mud-snail in the state of Washington. The creature has been found in lakes and other waterways across the state.
Scientists working with the technology say they do not expect robots to replace field biologists anytime soon. But the old-fashioned field work could soon be more targeted.
【1】By using e-DNA, Caren Goldberg has ________.
A.succeeded in catching many fishes.
B.found the existence of golden treefrogs.
C.documented the spread of softshell turtles.
D.proved the disappearance of the leopard frog in Idaho.
【2】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Robots will replace scientists soon.
B.Some scientists are against using e-DNA.
C.The old-fashioned field work may disappear.
D.Many biologists are unwilling to do the field work.
【3】The passage can be sorted as a(n) ________.
A.science fictionB.experiment report
C.science reportD.bio-diversity discovery
