Whoppie Whizzer This thrilling ride that has you holding onto your seats in fear attracted more visitors than any other single attraction last year. The ride starts with a few gentle spins that gradually increase in speed, so that after thirty seconds you’ re moving round at 15 miles per hour! Suitable for anyone over 14 years of age, this ride is open throughout the season. It’s one you certainly don’t want to miss, so make sure you have a go early on in the day to avoid disappointment. Spooksville This is a haunted house（鬼屋) with a difference — come and visit if you dare! A hired team of professional actors perform stunts（特技表演）and try to frighten you senseless, and be warned — they will! Still, you have to judge for yourselves, so bring all the family along to this attraction. Enter alone at your own risk! Aladdin's Magic Maze Our Magic Maze is Europe’s biggest, as you will realize as soon as you try to find your way out! The walls of our corridors（走廊）are covered with mirrors so that when you start walking through, it can be pretty confusing — we' re still waiting for someone to beat the record exit（离开） time of twenty-two minutes. If you think you can do it, come along and try! Pirate Ship This huge pirate ship has been specially designed just for kids — it' s made of inflatable（可充气的）plastic so they can't hurt themselves! During our thirty-minute sessions they can climb up and down in the ship and enjoy themselves. Around the ship is the Slippery Scales swimming pool which they can swim around in — its new wave-machine will make them believe they’re really at sea!

Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St Allbans, a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class. After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics and then went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology(宇宙学). As he himself admits, he didn’t work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got high marks. It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He started to bump into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back. Hawking had motor neuron disease（运动神经元病）, a terminal illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before 23. At first, Hawking became very depressed. After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote,“Before my illness was diagnosed(诊断), I had been very bored with life. There had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile things I could do.”Then Hawking got married and found a job at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believes that his story shows that nobody, however bad their situation is, should lose hope.“Life is not fair.”He once said.“You just have to do the best you can in your own situation.” 【1】In the university, Stephen Hawking _______. A.worked hard B.studied art and physics C.was the best student in his class D.was lazy and did very little work 【2】As to his illness, Stephen Hawking _______.

Sometimes it’s the simplest medical inventions that save millions of lives. Meet inventors Jane Chen and Rajan Patel, and their invention—the Hug baby warmer. Every year 20 million babies are born premature (早产的). They struggle to survive because they can’t regulate (调节) their body temperature and they don’t have enough fat on their tiny bodies to keep warm. Approximately 14% of babies born are considered low birth weight, but these babies account for 60% - 80% of neonatal (新生的) deaths. The solution is to keep premature babies warm, but an incubator (保温箱) costs $ 20,000 and requires electricity which is difficult to find in developing countries, particularly in rural areas. Parents take extreme solutions to keep their babies warm. They attach hot water bottles to them or place them under light bulbs, which is not only unsafe but futile. As a result, 4 million premature babies die each year. Two- thirds of deaths occur in ten countries and 40% of those occur in India, Those who survive suffer from severe long term health problems (diabetes, heart disease, mental dysfunction)because they’re battling hypothermia (低体温症) instead of growing. To solve this problem, Jane and Rajan, graduates of Stanford University, created a portable and reusable infant incubator that requires no electricity and costs less than thirty dollars. It is safe and easy to use. It has no moving parts and can be easily cleaned. It looks like a tiny sleeping bag but its design is very clever. It has a bag that contains a special material that gives off heat throughout the insulation (绝缘) at a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius (98 F)—the temperature critical for the child’s survival. The bag is removed from the insulated blanket and activated by placing it in hot water for 15 minutes. It’s then placed into the blanket. The special material maintains a constant temperature for 4 hours by absorbing heat if the baby gets too hot, and giving heat if the baby gets too cold. 【1】Why do babies born premature have a high death rate? A.They lack fat to control body temperature. B.They are usually born in developing countries. C.They gain weight quicker than normal babies. D.They are more likely to be born with diseases. 【2】Which of the following can best replace the underlined word in paragraph 4? A.expensive B.simple C.ineffective D.unbelievable 【3】What is the fifth paragraph mainly about? A.The material used in the invention. B.The working theory of the invention. C.The preparation done for the invention. D.The advantages of Jane and Rajan’s invention. 【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.A Material That Has Broad Usage B.A Warm Hug That Saves Lives C.Being Poor Results in Baby Deaths D.An Invention That Changes Rural Areas |
