It’s called “The Ark”，but looks more like a ship sitting upside down on the water．A new design by Russian architect A1exander Remizov challenges the tradition of land-based hotel and would provide a shelter in the future—should the world face a modern-day flood as described in the Bible．
The building of the hotel could be fast and simple．“Prefabricated（预制装配的）section could be put together in three to four months,” Remizov said． The versatile（万能的）structure could be constructed in most corners of the earth, even in earthquake-prone areas．Constructing “The Ark"—which would include 14 000 square meters of living space‑‑‑would cost roughly the same as building an energy-efficient house． The self-supporting structure would be built around a central post, connecting wind generators and heat pumps on its roof with the basement，where solar，wind，and thermal（热量的）energy could be stored and turned into electricity． Remizov has designed the building without glass，choosing instead the lasting and self-cleaning foil（箔）that could defend itself against rough weather conditions．That foil would be fastened to metals，which would also collect rainwater．The building would also feature an indoor jungle, creating its microclimate．
小题1:What’s the purpose of designing “The Ark,?”
| A．To prevent flood happening． | B．To draw the public’s attention |
| C．To secure people from flood． | D．To attract more tourists． |
| A．14 months． | B．3 months． | C．4 months． | D．7 months． |
| A．It can be built on water． | B．It is energy-efficient． |
| C．It is eco-friendly． | D．It has enough living space． |
| A．A climate with no rain will form around the hotel． |
| B．The material can protect the hotel from bad weather． |
| C．A power station will be built in the hotel． |
| D．Bricks will be used as the materials instead of glass． |

举一反三
My reply is often a brief “You have as much time as the president．”I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty-four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done．
Once in graduate school，I tried to prove to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard．His answer to me was． “That’s irrelevant（无关的）．What’s important is the quality of your work． ” Since then I have had time to think carefully about the “hard worker” dodge（诀窍），and I have come to some conclusions—all relevant to the problem of how much time we have．
If you analyze the matter, you can identify two parts of the prob1em：There is, of course，the matter of “time”, which we call think of as fixed． Then there is the problem of “work” during that time． But, as my professor suggested, it’s not how hard one works but the quality of the product that’s important．
That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work．That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone s office: “Don"t work harder． Work smarter．” There is a lot of sense in that idea．
If you can’t get more time，and few of US can，the only solution is to improve the quality of the work．That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get．That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits．Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits’ should be read as “study habits”．
Then, as a smart student，you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing． If you learn to read better and write better，there are big advantages that pay off in all your studies．
小题1:From the passage，we know that the author is probably ．
| A．a poet | B．an educator | C．a novelist | D．an engineer |
| A．have enough time | B．can meet the president |
| C．get everything done well | D．should accept the explanation |
| A．The author"s students make good use of their time to do all their homework． |
| B．The author tried to tell the professor that he／she（the author） had done a good job． |
| C．You can’t improve the quality of the work if you can’t get more time． |
| D．You’11 try to improve your skills in reading and writing if you"re a clever student． |
| A．Students don’t have enough time． | B．Don’t work harder; work smarter． |
| C．No one can get more time． | D．Read better and write better． |
A few days later he asked me to help him again, because he 3 how to do it. When I began to show this to him, some students in my class 4 and began to talk among themselves 6 . Later that day, at lunch time, I was 5 by several of them.
“Hey, could you help us change our grades in math? We’ll 7 you…”
I could not believe what I was hearing．I could get paid for something very 8 ．" All right．I"ll do it．" The next day my math teacher 9 me to help him out．When he was not paying attention, I began to change their grades from F’s to A’s．
I soon became very 10 among my friends. They began to treat me like a god with a magical 11 . I began to change the grades of students．Word 12 quickly and I became very rich．
Everything was going fine 13 I was called into the headmaster"s office．When I got there, my teacher was mad, and the headmaster had an angry 14 in his eyes． "I have known you for three years now．I don"t want to 15 what your teacher said, but I"m afraid that I must．He has too much 16 , " he said．" Do you have anything to say 17 yourself?" he asked．
"No．" I said finally．I did not realize how serious my actions had been．I had violated the 18 of my teacher, and the headmaster．And there was no way 19 ．I was forced to leave my school．
That was a good 20 for me．

Without having a nature experience, kids, can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That contributes to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive (认知的) skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents---and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component(成份) and that play in nature develop leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more.
Kids are not to blame. They are overprotected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but much stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood process of passage.
Everyone, from developers, to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that strengthen love, respect and need for landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause.
小题1:According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will______
| A．keep a high sense of wonder |
| B．be over-protected by their parents |
| C．be less healthy both physically and mentally |
| D．change wild places and creatures for the better |
| A．the fault on the part of their parents |
| B．the natural experience in their growing up |
| C．the result of their own carelessness in play |
| D．the effect of their repetitive stress from computers |
| A．blame children for getting lost in computer games |
| B．encourage children to protect parks from encroachment |
| C．show his concern about children’s lack of experience in nature |
| D．inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around |
The first is its value for people who are looking for information. When people are _____________(17)information ,from weather forecasts to __________(18)research, the Internet is now the first place that many people ___________(19).With the ___________(20) of a button or the click of a mouse , a student can _______________(21)knowledge from the information held in the largest libraries and museums in the world .
Another truly wonderful __________(22)of the Internet is the way people use it to build social ties. One of the greatest ________(23)of Internet friendships is that they are ________________(24)common interests, rather than appearance, age or popularity. Young people from different _________(25)and different countries can form lifelong friendships.
The Internet also has its negative effects on our lives.
The ___________(26) is that it is difficult to _________(27) whether the information is true and accurate. The __________(28) of false information on the Internet becomes more of a problem every day . This is very __________(29)because people can write anything they want,and we cannot always tell if the information is true or not .
Another disadvantage of the Internet is that it is affecting people’s ________(30)lives. As the Internet has gained ________(31),there has been a change in the way people spend their time. Now ,________(32)spending time together in the evenings, some families spend their time ______(33)because one or more members are using the computer. ________(34) some young people spend so much time ______(35)computer games and using the Internet that they have become addicted to computer games.

Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago , was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modem world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’ s capacity(容量). As time goes on , however , we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact , we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’ s eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however , our fingers will grow more sensitive（敏感的） because they are used a great deal in modern life.
But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own. …
小题1:The passage mainly tells us that _______.
| A．man’s life will be different in the future. |
| B．future man will look quite different from us. |
| C．man is growing taller and uglier as time passes. |
| D．human’s organs’ functions will become weak “ |
| A．he makes use onIy20% of the brain’s capacity. |
| B．his brain has grown larger over the past centuries. |
| C．the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time |
| D．he will use his brain more and more as time goes on : |
| A．He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful. |
| B．He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses. |
| C．His fingers will grow weaker because he won’t have to make use of them. |
| D．He will think and feel in a different way. |
| A．human beings will become less attractive in the future |
| B．less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration(退化,) |
| C．human beings hope for a change in the future life |
| D．future life is always predictable |
