13、our answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneScientists said they have found evidence of a giant planet far out in our solar system. In a statement, the California Institute of TechnologyCaltechsaid this planet travels a very strange “long and thin orbit in the distant solar system.” The discovery was

14、made by two researchers at Caltech: Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown. They used mathematical modeling and computer simulations(模拟) to find the planet. So far, there have not been any direct observations of the planet.“My jaw hit the floor,” said astronomer(宇航员) Mike Brown, the moment he realized th

15、ere might be a ninth planet.The scientists said it would take this planet 10,000 to 20,000 years just to make one full orbit around the sun. The new planet, called “Planet Nine”, has a mass about 10 times the size of Earth. If they are right, the newly found planet would be the ninth planet in our s

16、olar system. Pluto(冥王星) had been called the ninth planet until 2006, when it was renamed a “dwarf planet.”Actual confirmation of a ninth planet would be very big news. “This would be a real ninth planet,” Brown said in the statement. “There have only been two true planets discovered since ancient ti

17、mes, and this would be a third. Its a pretty substantial chunk of our solar system thats still out there to be found, which is pretty exciting.”While they did not get a picture of “Planet Nine” yet, the scientists say they are using the biggestand besttelescopes on Earth to try to find “Planet Nine.

18、” They are also working on improving their computer simulations. They want to find out more about “Planet Nines” orbit, and its impact on the outer part of our solar system.16. The newly-found planet _.A. moves around the SunB. was discovered by two astronomersC. travels a round orbitD. is far away

19、from our solar system17. The possibility of finding a ninth planet made Mike Brown _. A. confused B. frightenedC. satisfied D. surprised18. According to the scientists, _A. the planet is ten times larger than the EarthB. it takes the planet less than 10,000 years to make a full orbitC. Pluto was onc

20、e thought to be the ninth planet in the solar systemD. Pluto was given a new name after it was discovered in 200619. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that _.A. there is no actual confirmation about the ninth planetB. no true planets were discovered in ancient timesC. scientists have found three p

21、lanets in modern timesD. the ninth planet is the only one discovered since ancient times20. To find “Planet Nine”, scientists are using all the following EXCEPT _.A. mathematical modeling B. computer simulationsC. advanced telescopes D. large spacecraftsPassage Two“Helicopter parenting” describes a

22、style of raising children where parents are over-protective and do too much. The term was used for the first time in the late 1960s. It describes parents who hover(悬停) over their kids like a helicopter. Today, modern technology allows these helicopter parents to hover from even far away. They can gi

23、ve their children directions at any moment from anywhere.Author Julie Lythcott-Haims wrote a book titled How to Raise an Adull. In her book, she gives readers a closer look at this parenting style.“Over-parenting”, she says, “comes in three types: the first is the over-protective parents who think t

24、he world is scary and unsafe and unpredictable. And therefore, I must protect and prevent. The second type is the over-directive typethe parent who says, I know best what leads to success and you will do as I say. Youll study these topics, do these activies and you will be highly achieving at all of

25、 it. The third type is the concierge(看门人)the parent who just wants to make life smootherfrom waking their kid up, to keeping track of their deadlines, to making sure they havent forgotten anything, to even doing the homework for the kid.”Julie Lythcott-Haims says she experienced the effects of helic

26、opter parenting firsthand when she worked as dean of first-year students at Stanford University. The incoming students were very smart and accomplished on paper. But many were unable to take care of themselves.“They were turning to parents constantly for guidance, for problem solving, to have them m

27、ake the choice about something.” Often times, Lythcott-Haims had to remind those parents that their kids were old enough to take care of themselves.21. The term “helicopter parenting” _.A. describes parents who give children directions in the airB. was probably invented in the late nineteenth centur

28、yC. gains more meaning as modern technology developsD. refers to parents who concern too much about kids22. According to Lythcott-Haims, over-parenting has all the following features EXCEPT _.A. over-directive B. over-dependentC. over-preventive D. over-protective23. It can be inferred that a concie

29、rge mother will _.A. regard the world as very dangerousB. allow children to do whatever they likeC. keep a close eye on the kids assignmentD. let the kid alone when he falls on the ground24. In Julies eyes, the first-year students at Stanford University are _.A. very clever in studyingB. really good

30、 at problem-solvingC. unable to communicate with teachers D. having problems making friends25. Lythcott-Haims attitude towards helicopter parenting is _.A. supportiveB. negativeC. uninterestedD. unclearPassage ThreeI recently had the opportunity to go to my first ever music festival. We Love Green w

31、as held over a weekend in Parc de Bagatelle, Paris. While like most music festivals, it boasted an impressive and diverse music, there was something extra special about this one. You see, this was a green festival!From the food to the stalls(货摊), everything was as environmentally friendly as possibl

32、e. Not only was the majority of the furniture/stalls/toilet rooms hand-made from wood, the festival was powered by solar energy. Guests were invited to dispose of rubbish in specially labeled dustbins which, after the festival, were sorted so all of the waste could be recycled appropriately. Fresh w

33、ater was made available freely to everyone so that attendants were not encouraged to buy drinks in plastic bottles which would have created a lot of waste.I found the experience incredibly fun but also really interesting. Having never been to a music festival before, I was unsure of what to expect.

34、However, I was happy to find myself sitting in a field eating a healthy, home-made fruit cake while drinking organic fruit juice. There were many stalls, art installations, and different areas, meaning there was something there for everyone, from small children to the elderly!This seems like such a

35、great idea, making something very fun and interesting, that does not cause great damage to the environment. I have since discovered that there are more events similar to this across the globe, which is great! I cant imagine how much waste has been produced from such public events as festivals across

36、 the years before we realised just how bad they were for the environment!26. Which of the following can be the title of the passageA. We Love GreenB. We Love EnvironmentC. Music FestivalsD. A Unique Public Event27. What is special about the music festivalA. It has a special band.B. It has a unique p

38、njoyed the festivalB. expected muh from the festivalC. found the event very funnyD. liked listening to music at home30.

39、thors favourite musiciansPassage FourChokwe Selassie is on a mission to help drivers avoid potholes(路面坑洞). The eighth-grader got his inspiration on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their h

40、ometown of Jackson, Mississippi. “I decided I was going to do something about the pothole problem in my city,” said Chokwe. His solution: an app that warns drivers when there is a pothole ahead.Chokwe developed the app with his friends, “When the app detects a pothole, it is highlighted in red,” Cho

41、kwe says. “And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you with a beep.” Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes they encounter, and to look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them.The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jac

42、kson. “It works by using the citys 311 call system, so it uses information already stored in a database,” Chokwe says. Through the call system, citizens dial 311 to report non-emergency problemswhich include potholes. As Chokwe and his friends worked on the app, they also went street by street throu

43、ghout the city. They determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give them a large enough sample size to test it.Although the app isnt yet available for sale, Chokwe is already looking for ways to improve it. The app remains limited to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to a

44、dd more, so that it includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther. “I want to keep working on the app until its nationwide,” Chokwe says.31. Chokwe Selassie got the idea to develop the app from _.A. his own experienceB. a recent news reportC. his friendsD. his mother32. Whe

45、n you are close to a pothole, your phone will warn you with _.A. a voice reportB. a red lightC. a beeping soundD. a map image33. Drivers can also use Chokwes app to _.A. report emergency traffic problemsB. look for information other than potholesC. choose safer routes without potholesD. avoid traffi

46、c jam caused by potholes34. To develop the app, Chokwe and his friends _.A. reported potholes to 311 call systemB. conducted field trips on the streetsC. built their own information databaseD. collected samples in their neighborhood35. We can learn from the last paragraph that Chokwe _.A. is quite successfulB. is facing difficultiesC. has regained hopeD. has
