【题目】 Imagine a small group of people with a shared passion for the same craft. They all have different skills and approaches, but they come together to share skills, share stories, and share in the joy of making something.
Modern maker culture is filling headlines and lab spaces all over the world. The way makers communicate with each other has changed over time. In the past, skills mainly came from personal sit-downs with members of the group. But sometimes a teacher wasn’t available, or the one available didn' t know how to do the skill others wanted to learn.
Today a teacher doesn' t even have to be in the same country or occupy the same decade as the students. Thanks to the work of people who take the time to break down and share the details of their craft, an interested individual can learn anything. Guides may range from videos to diagrams and text. Regardless of the media, maker resources are meant to be shared.
One of the features of the maker movement is the crossover between different interests. Perhaps a passion for cars and for leathercraft can result in a truly custom interior (定制的内饰). Perhaps a love of knitting (编织)and robotics will result in a tiny ——but very mobile ——robotic furry cat.
And once you have started your creation, finding a community to share with is no longer limited to the people nearby. Modern makers have been sharing videos of their progress online for years, contributing greatly to the rapid spread of the maker movement. As different as the participants might be, they share enthusiasm, support, and a willingness to try.
Imagine making a ping-pong table together with your makers' team. One group builds the basic frame. Another group takes on the responsibility of painting. You knit the net. There is joy in just giving it a try. It will remind you of childhood creations. Whether you are an experienced programmer or just picking up a hammer for the first time, it is never a bad time to come up with an idea, try something, and share the results.
【1】How did makers communicate with each other in the past?
A.By meeting face to face.
B.By asking personal questions.
C.By visiting a teacher together.
D.By sitting together in a classroom.
【2】What does the underlined word " crossover" in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Exchange.B.Difference.
C.Combination.D.Independence.
【3】What greatly speeds up the spread of modern maker culture?
A.The sharing of videos on the Internet.
B.The development of education.
C.The increasing willingness to share.
D.The increasing number of participants.
【4】Why does the author mention making a ping-pong table in the last paragraph?
A.To advise us to start small.
B.To inspire some creative ideas.
C.To stress the importance of childhood creations.
D.To encourage us to join in the maker movement.

Recently a survey about the time spent for outside reading was conducted in our school. As the survey indicates it, only 5% of the students in our school read every day when the majority do it in their spare time. Others chose to do some reading on weekends. Most of them assume that outside reading is waste of time, but in fact they are wrongly. Not only can outside reading improves our reading and writing skill, but it can also enrich our school life. Beside, it can broaden our horizons. In conclusion, it is high time that we must attach importance to outside reading.

【题目】 Fruit farmers in Okayama, Japan, have managed to make peeling (去皮) a banana optional by developing a special variety with eatable skin. The peel of their “Mongee bananas” isn’t particularly tasty, but it’s much thinner and far less bitter than that of regular bananas, making it 100% eatable.
Scientists at D&T Farm in the country’s Okayama Prefecture released the social media-ready news following months of experimenting with a freezing-and-thawing (解冻) method, which keeps the banana tree at extremely cold temperatures followed by a dramatic heat increase. The result is soft and thin skin that hasn’t fully developed. They froze young banana trees to -60 degrees Celsius, planting them again as they began to thaw. This apparently activated an ancient part of their DNA, which not only allows the plant to grow in Japan’s cool climate, but also speeds up its development. While tropical varieties of bananas require two years to grow large enough for consumption (消费), the Mongee banana needs just four months.
The first bunch of Mongee bananas hit department stores’ shelves in the November of last year, but getting your hand on one of these incredible fruits remains a huge challenge. D&T Farm only produces 10 bananas per week, and they only deliver them to the Fruit Corner of Tenmanya Okayama, a local department store. But even if you happen to find one available, you’d probably be a bit put off by the price – 648 yen ($5.70) per fruit.
Banana peel is an excellent ingredient that can contain vitamin B6 and magnesium related to the production of serotonin (血清素). At the same time, it has a positive effect on both brain and sleep. Research results that ripe fruit peels have a good effect on treating prostatic hypertrophy (前列腺肥大) have also been published.
John Guterman, a botanist, says, “And what about shipping? For most of the fruit’s history, the peel has provided protection, allowing it to travel long distances. A softer, more bruise-prone banana would be a step back from hardy banana varieties that travel thousands of miles. In this sense, the day we all stop peeling bananas and instead bite straight through their skin may still be a long way away.
【1】Compared with regular bananas, Mongee bananas ________.
A.are far easier to peelB.have much sweeter flesh
C.are much more thin-skinnedD.have a longer growth period
【2】Why is it hard to buy a Mongee banana now?
A.It isn’t affordable at all.B.It hasn’t come into the market yet.
C.It is made for certain people.D.Its production ability is still limited.
【3】What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.The medical value of banana peel.
B.The nutrition (营养) of banana peel.
C.The way of making banana peel sweeter.
D.The studies about how to make banana peel eatable.
【4】What does John think of the Mongee banana?
A.It should not be widely grown.
B.It won’t be spread widely soon.
C.It indicates the future of fruits with skin.
D.It has no advantage over regular bananas.
