die of car heat in the US,when they are accidentally left in a hot vehicle.For Bishop Curry,a fifth grader from Mckinney,Texas,one such incident hit close to home.A six-month-old baby from his neighborhood died after hours in a hot car.After hearing about her death,Curry decided that something needed to be done.Young Curry,who turned 11 this year,has always had a knack for inventing things,and he drew up a sketch(草图)of a device he called“Oasis.”The device would attach to carseats and watch the temperature inside the car.If it reached a certain temperature in the car,and the device sensed a child in the carseat,it would begin to circulate cool air.Curry alsodesigns the device using GPS and Wi-Fi technology,which would alarm the childs parents and,if there was no response from them,the police.Currys father believes that the invention has potential.“The cool thing about Bishops thinking is none of this technology is new,”he said.“We feel like the way hes thinking and combining all these technologies will get to production faster.”His father even introduced the device to Toyota,where he works as an engineer.The company was so impressed that they sent Curry and his father to a car safety conference in Michigan.In January,Currys father launched a campaign for the invention.They hope to raise money to finalize the patent,build models,and find a manufacturer.Their goal was$20,000,but so many people believed in Oasis potential that they have raised more than twice that over$46,000.Currys father remembers the first time he saw his sons sketch.“I was so proud of him for thinking of a solution,”he said.“We always just complain about things and rarely offer solutions.”4.What inspired Curry to invent Oasis?A.His narrow escape from death after being locked in a

the Sanjiu periodare the coldest days.”“Sanjiu period”,which is in Minor Cold,refers to the third nine-day period(the l9th to the 27th day)after the day of the Winter Solstice(冬至).There are many different customs related to Minor Cold inChina.Eating hotpot DuringMinor Cold people should eat some hot food to benefit the body and defend against the cold weather.Winter is the best time to have hotpot and braised mutton with soy sauce.But it is important to notice that too much spicy food may cause health problems.Eating huangyacai InTianjin,there is a custom to have huangyacai,a kind of Chinese cabbage,during Minor Cold.There are large amounts of vitamins A and B in huangyacai.As huangyacai is fresh and tender,it is fit for frying,roasting and braising.Eating glutinous rice(糯米饭)According to tradition,the Cantonese eat glutinous rice in the morning during Minor Cold.Cantonese people add some fried preserved pork,sausages and peanuts and mix them into the rice.Eating vegetable rice In ancient times,people inNanjingtook Minor Cold quite seriously,but as time went by,the celebration of Minor Cold gradually disappeared.However,the custom of eating vegetable rice is still followed today.The rice is steamed and is unspeakably delicious.Among the ingredients(原料),aijiaohuang(a kind of green vegetable),sausages and salted duck are the specialties in Nanjing.8.What do we know about Minor Cold?A.It refers to the Winter Solstice.B.The Sanjiu period is in this period.C.It lasts twenty-seven days.D.It marks the first day of winter.9.What is a special custom in Tianjin

short of water.How can this problem be solved.Some suggestions have been to desalinate ocean water or to build enormous water pipelines from areas where water is abundant.(Suggestions such as these prove extremely expensive when they are actually used.)One possibility that scientists are considering is pulling icebergs from either the North Pole or the South Pole to parts of the world with a water shortage.Although many questions must be answered before such a project could be tried,moving icebergs seems a reasonable possibility in the future.Engineers,mathematicians,and glaciologists from a dozen countries have been considering the iceberg as a future source of water.Saudi Arabia is particularly interested in this project because it has a great water shortage.Scientists estimate that it would take 128 days to transport a large iceberg(about 1/2 square mile)to Saudi Arabia.Yet the iceberg would be completely melted by the 104th day.Therefore,insulation would be essential,but how to insulate the iceberg remains an unsolved problem.The problems in transporting an iceberg are numerous.The first problem is choosing the iceberg to pull.The icebergs that form in the North Pole are quite difficult to handle because of their shape.Only a small portion extends above the water most of the iceberg is below the surface,which would make it difficult to pull.South Pole icebergs,on the other hand,are flat and float like table tops.Thus they would be much easier to move.How can a 200-million-ton iceberg be moved.No ship is strong enough to pull such enormous weight through the water.Perhaps several ships could be used.Attaching ropes to an iceberg this size is also an enormous problem.Engineers think that large nails or long metal rods could be driven into the ice.What would happen if the iceberg splits into several pieces during the pulling.Even if an iceberg with very few cracks were chosen,how could it be pulled through stormy waters.Furthermore,once the iceberg reached its destination,very few ports would be deep enough to store it.All of these problems must be solved before icebergs can become a reasonable source of water.Yet scientists estimate that it will be possible to transport them in the near future.Each year,enough icebergs form to supply the whole world with fresh water for a full year.In addition,icebergs are free and nonpolluting.As a solution to the worlds water problems,icebergs may be a workable possibility.12.What is a problem in transporting iceberg?A.The size of the iceberg.B.The colour of the iceberg.C.The salt in the iceberg.D.The movement of air and water.13.What is the author attitude towards transporting iceberg?A.Pessimistic.B.Objective.C.Optimistic.D.Unconcerned.14.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A.It is hard to use iceberg.B.Iceberg are a good choice.C.There are problems with iceberg.D.Man finds no other ways to solve water shortage.15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Shortage of water.B.Icebergs for water.C.Scientists and icebergs.D.Icebergscientists headache.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 The Benefits of Keeping a Journal If you want
