Crok cycles to a very busy junction.“Look,“she says.Theres traffic coming from everywhere.Four trams from four different directions.For a child on abike thafs really confusing!”Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital.You would think thischallenge would be siiDerfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world.The number of bicycles inAmsterdam is estimated at 881,000-more than the citys 850,000 inhabitants-and 63%of the population cycle daily.But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges,Lotta says:uThe three biggest problems for us are cars,cycling tourists and scooters（小型摩托）.The cars take up too much space,the tourists are always swinging side to sideand stop when you least expect it,and the scooters simply run you oven”Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which schoolchildren were asked tocome up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun.Her idea was to add childrens bikes to the popular bike shareprogramme.Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor;she has been busy,giving interviews,opening cycling contests in thecity and being a jury（评审员）member during the Amsterdam Light Parade,an event in which Amsterdammersdecorate their bikes with lights.She is now planning a meeting with the citys mayor to discuss ideas that children have come up with:uOne of ourproposals is a bicycle park where children can learn how to cycle.Right now,most of us learn it in the street,which canbe quite busy.Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling,because most of them reallydont know.”Following the success of the Amsterdam scheme,cycle mayors around the world are now planning to appoint juniorcolleagues.uThey see it works really well,“Boerma,the senior major,says.UI talk to the parents,Lotta talks to thechildren.And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child,you will also make it accessible for others.A city thatsgood for an eight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old.”1、Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam?A.To teach children how to ride.B.To ensure cycling is safer for

of which orbit in their stars Goldilocks Zone theregion where temperatures are not too hot or too cold for water,which is a necessary ingredient for life as we know it,to exist liquid form.This may be good news for people hoping that Earth is not the only inhabited world in theuniverse.The scientists,led by Dr.Guilermo Torres of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics,made thediscoveries using data collected by the planet-seeking Kepler telescope.NASA launched Kepler in 2009.Since then,the telescope has identified more than 1,000 planets outside of oursolar system.Torres and his team analyzed the data about the eight newly discovered world to determine which onesare most likely to be similar to our Earth.Among the new discoveries,the scientists say the planets called Kepler438b and 442b are the closest to Earth.Kepler 438b is just about 10%larger than our planet,and gets 40%more of its energy from its star than Earthreceives from the Sun.Temperatures there would be about 140 degrees.Kepler 442b is about 33%larger than Earth,but receives 30%less energy from its star.That would make it a potentially chillier world than our own.Torres says itis possible for life to exist and survive in either of those temperatures,but for that to happen,these planets would needto have another key ingredient for life:a heat-trapping atmosphere like Earths.While these findings add to the possibility that life exists beyond Earth,Torres cautions against drawingconclusions,wWe are not claiming they are inhabited,M he says.In fact,these planets are so far away that the scientistscannot observe them directly,which can be explanation for why for now it remains unknown whether these planetscontain life.But the discovery of planets in their stars5 habitable zones suggests that somewhere out there,some formof alien life may have taken hold.1、The scientists have identified eight p l a n e t s,A.which are suitable for humans to live onB.some of which are possible for life to exist onC.some of which have the same situations as EarthD.which are not too hot or too cold for water to exist on2、Which statement about the discovery of Torres and his team is TRUE?A.Kepler 438b is too hot for any life to exist on.B.Kepler 438b and 442b are the farthest to Earth.C.They have made the discoveries through Kepler.D.They have discovered over 1000 planets in 7 years.3、What is the possible thing that Kepler 442b lacks for life to exist on?A.The water B.The sunlightC.The soil D.The atmosphere4、About their exploration,Torres wants to indicate that.A.there is a lot left to learnB.they have had decisive gainsC.it is the first in human historyD.it is certain for life on the planets5、Which can be the best title for this passage?A.Are We Alone?B.Eye on the StarsC.Discover Another EarthD.Discovery of New Stars to Live on24.(8 分)James Gross,a psychology professor at Stanford University,has a 13-year-old daughter who loves mathand science.wIt hasnt occurred to her yet thafs unusual/9 he says.uBut I know in the next couple of years,it will.”Shes already being pulled out of class to do advanced things with a couple of other kids,who are guys.And assomeone who studies human emotion for a procession,Gross says,“I know as time goes on,she will feel increasinglylonely as a girl who interested in math and science,and be at risk of narrowing her choices in life before finding outhow far she could have gone.”Gross9 concern clearly shows what has been a touchy subject in the world of science for a long time:Why are therestill so few women in science,and how might that affect what we learn from research?Women now make up half the national workforce,earn more college and graduate degrees than men,and by someestimates represent the largest single economic force in the world.Yet the gender gap in science persists,to a greaterdegree than in other professions,particularly in high-end,math-intensive fields such as computer science andengineering.According to US Census Bureau statistics,women in fields commonly referred to as STEM(science,technology,engineering,mathematics)made up 7 percent of that workforce in 1970,a figure that had jumped to 23 percent by 1990.But the rise essentially stopped there.Two decades later,in 2011,women made up 26 percent of the science workforce.1、According to James Gross,in the near future his daughter may.A.become a great

puppy-dog eyes,its hard for you to go away,and you may speak out“Awww”without hesitation.However,theres a reason why you find a dogs stare so attractive.That sweet stare actuallycauses the release of a particular hormone,or chemical messenger in the body.This hormone creates feelings of affectionin humans.The same thing happens to dogs when people look back at them.Scientists believe this helps people and theirfour-legged friends bond,or feel connected.Scientists have wondered what causes dogs to lovingly stare at their owners.To find out,a team of researchers from Azabu University in Japan studied 30 owners and their dogs.The researchers found that after the pets and their owners spent half an hour together,both showed a rise inoxytocin（催产素）.One
