Could cities that float (漂浮) on the sea solve the problems caused by floods and provide food for the world?

Some scientists think so. The idea is already being tested and they believe that floating citied will provide more homes for a growing population, without having to use land needed to grow food. And they believe floating areas will allow more food to be grown, so that no one in the world is hungry.

In some places, cities that float on the sea are already being planned, A company in the Netherlands called DeltaSync thinks that sea cities will save the world, with more than one in ten people living in them.

They say sea cities solve many of the problems the world faces in the 21st century, like not having enough land , more and more people needing homes, fossil fuels (矿物燃料) running low and the increasingly serious problems caused by floods.

DeltaSync says building in the desert (沙漠) is not possible because there is no enough water and that developing ways for people to live in space is still too expensive. So they believe the answer is our oceans, which cover over two thirds of the Earth’s surface. Their plans for floating areas include using algae (海藻) to produce fuel and food.

More than a quarter of the land in the Netherlands already lies underwater and scientists there have spent years trying to find ways to deal with it. In the city of Rotterdam they already have floating homes.

Bart Roeffen from DeltaSync says: “We have plans for neighbourhoods including roads and, in the end, I believe we can build floating cities on the sea.”

1.DeltaSync is a company that wants to build cities _______．

A．on land　　　　　 B．in space

3.What does Bart Roeffen think of his company’s future plans?

A．He doubts them.

B．He is hopeful of them.

C．He is uncertain about them.

D．He has no idea about them.

4.What is the best title for the text?

Father’s Day

The United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honored by their children. On the third Sunday in June, fathers all across the United States are given presents, treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special.

However, the idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father’s Day while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909. Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a selfless and loving man. Sonora’s father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father’s Day celebration in Spikane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.

In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge declared the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. Roses are the Father’s Day flowers: red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died.

When children can’t visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card. Traditionally, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental. Most greeting cards are too special so fathers laugh when they open them. Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needed Dad.

1.At first, Father’s Day was fixed on June 19th because ______.

A. Sonora honored her father on her father’s birthday

B. Sonora’s birthday was June 19

C. it was decided by the president at that time

D. her mother died on June 19

2.How many years has passed before Father’s Day became an official day since the father’s day was celebrated?

A. 4　　　 B. 10　　　　 C. 14　　　 D. 24

3.According to the passage, on Father’s Day,　 ______.

A. people will wear the same flowers to honor their fathers

B. only daughters wear red flowers to honor their fathers

C. children must go home to honor their fathers

D. fathers are often honored in different ways

4.According to the passage, we can infer that Henry Jackson Smart ______.

A. was very kind to anyone

B. did a lot for his daughter

C. was the first father honored in 1924

D. always helped others by giving money

A new report says living in a city makes it harder for people to concentrate(集中) on some tasks. The research found that people who live in rural areas can focus better than people in urban areas. The study is from Goldsmiths College, which is part of the University of London.　 Head researcher Dr. Karina Linnell and her team made great contributions. They studied how two groups of people did the same "thinking tasks". The team went to a remote(偏远的) part of Namibia, southwest Africa, to study the Himba tribe. Himba people live a very basic life in the desert. They are still doing traditional farming. The team also studied members of the same tribe who had moved to the nearest town. Dr. Linnell said the tribe who lived in the desert did much better on the tests than those in the town. It's really interesting and shocking.

Dr. Linnell said their research may lead to changes in the way companies operate. In the future, workers may move from cities to live and work in the countryside. Linnell said there are too many things around us in the city that stop us from thinking about one thing for a long time.　 This means we do not work at our best. She asked, "What if, for example, companies realized certain tasks would be better carried out by employees based outside of the urban environment? There their concentration ability is better. "The past century has seen billions of people move from the countryside to big cities. In the future, the trend may not continue. If Dr. Linnell's research is true, this century might see many of those people return to the great outdoors. Let's wait to see what will happen.

1.What did Dr. Linnell and her team conclude from the study on the Himba tribe?

A. Himba people are cleverer than others.

B. Himba people aren't used to the life in city.

C. Himba people focus better in the desert

D. Himba people give up traditional farming.

2.What happened in the past one hundred years?

A. Many people returned to the countryside.

B. Big cities attracted many people to live and work.

C. Many people couldn't concentrate on one task.

D. The way companies operate changed a great deal.

3.The underlined word "outdoors" in the last paragraph probably refers to "______".

A. villages　　 B. cities

C. towns　　 D. countries

4.What is the main purpose of the text ?

A. to remind people to focus better.

B. to advise people to live in countryside.

C. to share a recent study with readers.

D. to show the bright future to readers.

What’s your opinion on spicy food? Some people cannot handle even the smallest amount of chili(辣椒)in their dinner while others can’t get enough of it.

Scientists have long been puzzled by why some people love chili while others loathe it. Plenty of research has been done on the subject, dating as far back as the 1970s. Previous results showed that a love of chili is related to childhood experiences, and cultural influences affect our taste buds, too. But the latest study has found that a person’s love of spicy food may be linked to his or her personality more than anything else, CBC News reported.

“We have always assumed that liking drives intake--we eat what we like and we like what we eat. But no one has actually directly bothered to connect these personality traits（特点） with intake of chili peppers,” said Professor John Hayes from Pennsylvania State University, who led the study.

But before you look at the study, you should first know that “spicy” is not a taste, unlike sour, sweet, bitter and salty. It is, in fact, a burning sensation that you feel on the surface of your tongue. This got scientists thinking that maybe a love of spicy food is brought about by people’s longing for thrill, something they usually get from watching action movies or riding a roller coaster.

In the study, 97 participants, both male and female, were asked to fill out questionnaires about certain traits of their personality, for example, whether they like new experiences or tend to avoid risks. They were then given cups of water with capsaicin, the plant chemical that makes chili burn, mixed into them.

By comparing the answers to the questionnaires and what participants said they felt about the spicy water, researchers found that those who were most inclined to enjoy action movies or take risks were about six times more likely to enjoy the spicy water.

Interestingly, we used to believe that the reason why some people can withstand spicy food is that their tongues have become less sensitive to it. However, this latest study has found otherwise. “It’s not that it doesn’t burn as badly, it’s that you actually learn to like the burn,” Hayes explained.

1.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “loathe” in the second paragraph?

A.dislike B.fear

C.put up with D.adapt to

2.What Professor John Hayes said means_________.

A.a love of chili is related to childhood experiences

B.cultural influences affect our taste buds

C.we eat what we like and we like what we eat

D.we ignore eating chili is related to our personalities

3.What did Professor John Hayes and his team discover from their study?

A.What we eat actually helps to develop our personalities.

B.Males are more likely to enjoy spicy food than females.

C.Those trying to avoid risks tend to be less interested in spicy food.

D.People are wrong to treat spicy as a kind of taste rather than a feeling.

4.Why do some people like spicy food according to the recent study?

A.Because their taste buds have become less sensitive.

B.Because they love the burning sensation.

C.Because they want to challenge themselves.

D.Because the more they try spicy food, the less it burns.

5.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A.His or her parents’ diets decide on his or her personality.

B.The latest study shows whether a person enjoys spicy food depends largely on his or her personality.

C.His or her childhood experiences decide on his or her personality.

D.His or her cultural background decides on his or her personality.
