Before I could say everything, she smiled at me and said she wanted to take me to another place where was special to her. I was very disappointed when we got on the place where she had bought her car! Besides, she kept talk about herself all day long! I was fed up with it, but I couldn’t make her to stop. When she finally decides to call it a day, she turned around and found me asleep!

I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签）everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed! ” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.

Walk through the Amazon rainforest today and you will find it steamy, warm, damp and thick. But if you had been there around 15,000 years ago, during the last ice age, would it have been the same? For more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing about how rainforests might have reacted to the cold, dry climate of the ice ages, but till now, no one has reached a satisfying answer.
Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to solve global warming. Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year: equal to the total amount of CO2 given off in the UK each year. But how will the Amazon react to the future climate change? If it gets drier, will it survive and continue to draw down CO2? Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past.
Unfortunately, collecting information is incredibly difficult. To study the past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen（花粉）kept in lake mud, Going back to the last ice age means drilling down into lake sediments（沉淀物）, which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery. There are very few roads and paths, or places to land helicopters and aeroplanes. Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest, but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled（未取样）. So far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon forest reacts to climate change.
1.How do scientists study the past climate change?
A. By predicting the climate change in the future.
B. By drilling down deep into land sediments.
C. By analyzing fossilized pollen in lake mud.
D. By taking samples from rivers in the Amazon.
2.Why is it difficult to collect information about the past climate change?
A. Because scientists can't find proper equipment and machinery.
B. Because it is very difficult to obtain complete samples.
C. Because helicopters and aeroplanes have no place to land.
D. Because none of the cores provide any information.
3.Where is the passage most probably taken from?
A. A medical journal. B. A news report
C. A travel brochure. D. A science magazine.
4.The best title for the text may be .
A. Secrets of the Rainforest
B. Climates of the Amazon
C. The History of the Rainforest
D. Changes of the Rainforest

A team led by Professor Theoder Berger, from the University of Southern California, can now manipulate(操纵) brain cells in rats so that memories stored in the hippocampus, a brain area crucial for memory formation, are activated or suppressed(抑制). It’s said that the technology could one day have medical applications.
In the study, researcher first trained rats to remember which of two levers(杠杆) they pressed first, then to press the other lever.
As the rats performed the task, the scientists carefully monitored the electrical activity in each creature’s hippocampus to find the pattern of nerve-cell activity involved in making a solid memory.
Using the same glass needles they had used to record the nerve activity, they stimulated (刺激) nerves in the same pattern and found that the animals’ performance in the task got even better. The rats made fewer errors and were able to remember which lever was the“correct”one for a longer period of time.
The scientists went a step further and suppressed the rats’ memories with a drug called Mk801, which caused them to forget their task. When the animals’ brain cells were later stimulated with the“correct”pattern, they remembered again which lever to press.
“What’s really exciting about this study is that when they played back the‘good’ patterns—the patterns when the animal got the task right—it did appear to improve memory,”said Dean Buonomano, an associate professor at the University of California.
The final goal, Berger said, is to help people with stroke(中风) and epilepsy(癫痫症) and the like strengthen memories and to help doctors treat them. The technology might even help sufferers of post-traumatic(创伤后) stress disorder.
But first, researchers would have to show that they can stimulate or suppress far more complex memories than the ones in the rat experiment.
“Here ,it’s a simple task,”Buonomano said. In contrast, humans’ memories are very rich and specific…
“We have very many steps to go before this can be achieved,”he said.
1.How does“the technology”in Paragraph 1 act?
A.It manipulates brain cells.
B.It stores memories in the hippocampus.
C.It activates memories stored in the brain.
D.It suppresses memories stored in the brain.
2..In what order did the researchers conduct the rat experiment?
a.Monitor the electrical activity in the rat’s hippocampus.
b.Suppress the rat’s memory with a drug called MK801.
c.Stimulate the rat’s nerves in the same pattern.
d.Stimulate the rat’s nerves in the same pattern for a second time.
e.Train the rats to remember the order of the two levers they pressed.
A.a, e, b, c, d B.a, e, c, d, b
C.e, a, c, d, b D.e, a, c, b, d
3.When their nerves were stimulated, the rats .
A.forgot their task
B.completed the task better
C.made no errors in their task
D.remembered which lever they had pressed for a shorter time
4.What can we infer from the article?
A.MK801 is a drug that can be used to stimulate nerves.
B.The study is expected to be used to help stroke and epilepsy patients recover completely.
C.Using the study to improve humans’ memories still face many challenges.
D.Researchers have studied far more complex memories than the ones in the rat experiment.

While astronauts in space get to do many exciting things, they miss out on ordinary things that we all take for granted-being able to walk on firm ground, hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza. Though not much can be done about the first two things, there may soon be a solution to the third one, thanks to this cool 3-D pizza printer!
About a year ago, NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor, a 3-D technology expert, to build a device（设备）that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand. The mechanical engineer promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities that looked, tasted and even smelled like pizza made in common ovens.
Late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first prototype（原型）that begins by creating a single slice of dough（面团）that is cooked and printed at the same time. Then comes the tomato “sauce” —a mix of tomato powder, oil and water and finally, a protein slice that resembles cheese. While the video doesn’t show the baking process, the inventor says that once the pizza is printed, it can be ready to be consumed in 7 seconds.
While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any pizza lover, Anjan Contractor is far from ready for astronauts. That’s because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years. Though that may sound unrealistic, actually it is not.
Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients（配料）and then they are reduced to the powder form. This, as you can imagine, will not be so easy. But, while the printer may not be ready for space, it certainly looks ready enough for people on earth. Hopefully, NASA and Contractor will consider selling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars!
1.Why does the author mention the things that astronauts in space cannot do?
A．To ask us not to take common things for granted.
B．To show they live a difficult life there.
C．To show their life is boring in space.
D．To introduce the topic of the text.
2.NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor mainly to __________.
A．create some new type of 3-D printer
B．attract more companies to work for NASA
C．help astronauts in space enjoy fresh pizza one day
D．produce pizza in large quantities to earn great profits
3.The biggest challenge that Anjan Contractor is faced with now is probably that __________.
A．he has no money left to go on with his research
B．the pizza doesn’t seem appetizing to pizza lovers
C．he has no way to make pizza that can last for thirty years
D．he cannot make the food container last for decades
4.What’s the best title of the passage?
A．NASA is trying its best to help astronauts eat better
B．Astronauts may soon be able to enjoy steaming hot pizza
C．NASA is working on making pizza for common people
D．A 3-D pizza printer has been used to make pizza

Flickering lights are annoying but they may have an advantage. Visible light communication (VLC) uses rapid pluses of light to transmit information wirelessly. Now it may be ready to compete with conventional Wi-fi.
In a recent TED talk, Harald Hasas from the University of Edinburge,UK demonstrated one VLC prototype(原型），“Li-Fi", transmitting a video from a store-bought LED lamp to a solar cell to a laptop. “Li-Fi is essentially the same as Wi-Fi,except for a small difference- we use LED lights around us to transmit the data wirelessly as opposed to using radio," Haas says.
Once established, VLC could solve some major communication problems. In 2009, the US Federal Communications Commission(FCC) warned of spectrum (波谱）crisis: because our mobile devices are so data- hungry we will soon run out of radio-frequency bandwidth.Li-Fi could free up bandwidth, especially as much of the infrastructure is already in place."There are around14 billion light bulbs worldwide, they just need to replaced with LED ones that transmit data", says Haas.
The idea of transmitting data through the visible light spectrum is not new.Alexander Graham Bell transmitted sound via a beam of sunlight in 1880 using a photo phone, a sort of solar-powered wireless telephone. In the past several decades, a number of researchers have looked at using visible light to transmit data.
But what Haas seized on is the use of simple LED light bulbs for data transmission. LED bulbs are controlled by a driver, which can rapidly di the light or turn it on or off. Therefore, Haas figured, data could be encoded in subtle shifts of the light’s brightness. Eventually, he creaded a working transmitter and receiver system with an IKEA lamp and a solar panel.
Li-Fi stands to be much faster than Wi-Fi. According to Haas research, Li-Fi can achieve data density 1000 times greater than Wi-Fi,because Li-Fi signals are contained in a small area, as opposed to the more diffuse (分散的)，radio signals.The system wouldn’t mean having to keep your lights on all the time either, Haas says---bulbs could be dimmed to such a point that they appear off, but still transmit data.
Now, Haas’ team hopes that Li-Fi could make its way into homes in a few years. The system can easily network any device with an LED light—an electric kettle, an oven. Eventually, this could bring about the Internet of Things era much faster. Haas also sees Li-Fi as a way to bring internet to remote location, using hilltop transmitters and rooftop solar panels. LED streetlights could even be used to form a network of outdoor Li-Fi, making it possible to stay connected when walking around the city.
But some sound a cautious note about VLC’s future. It becomes less powerful , for example,when light is blocked, wheather due to fog or other conditions.
1.By saying "There are around14 billion light bulbs worldwide”Haas intended to tell us that ______________
A. mobile devices will consume more data
B. radio-frequency bandwidth needs to be freed up.
C. VLC might solve the spectum crisis.
D. the world has a complete lighting infrastructure.
2.The underlined phrased “seized on“ in the passage is closet in meaning to “_____________”
A distinguished B. exploited C. created D. figured
3.We can learn from the passage that ________________________
A. Li-Fi can’t work outdoors.
B Li-Fi can work with LED lights off.
C. Li-Fi can be used with all household appliances.
D. Li-Fi needs improving to next diverse need.
