Speakers at recent TED events have shared simple and inexpensive solutions that can solve everyday problems.FUEL BRIQUETTES （燃料砖）In the developing world, smoke from indoor cooking kills more than 2 million children each year. In fact, it’s the number one cause of death of children under five. Amy Smith, founder of D-Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), discovered a way to make a safe cooking fuel. The material she uses is also free and plentiful: farm waste.Smith invented a low-cost device that turns farm waste into fuel briquettes. These briquettes produce smoke that is less dangerous than the smoke from other fuel. They also burn hotter andlast longer. Farmers can make these briquettes from readily available waste. This invention has an economic benefit, too. Farmers can buy the device for $2 and sell briquettes they don’t use. Smith estimates (估算) that this can increase a farmer’s income by $500 a month.DISASTER SHELTERSOver 31 million people worldwide lose their homes everyyear due to natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes.After these disasters, many people live in terrible conditions—intents or in large stadiums with no privacy. Graphic designerMichael McDaniel invented inexpensive and temporary housingfor people in these situations.Called the Reaction Ex, these shelters are small, one-roomhouses that comfortably hold up to four people. They’re madefrom a plastic that is strong, recyclabl e, and super light. In fact, they’re so light that they can be lifted by hand and are very portable as well. McDaniel hopes that his invention will provide an affordable solution to help people rebuild their lives after a natural disaster.1. The key goal to invent the fuel briquettes is to________.A. increase family incomeB. make full use of farm wasteC. get free and plentiful cooking fuelD. protect kids from dangerous cooking smoke2. What are the features of disaster shelters?A. Light and affordable.B. Heavy and recyclable.C. Big and comfortable.D. Small and breakable.3. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain design methods.B. To introduce new inventions.C. To report research findings.D. To advertise latest products.二、B篇I’m a 34-year-old man, married, live in a nice house, and have a successful career as an educational consultant(顾问). But my life was not always so great. My learning disability made my school days very challenging from an early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help. Still, I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools.My life improved remarkably when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay (黏土). Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language, I could still be smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence came along.I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. I soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing; it was practice. So I did it more. After about five years of climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it.Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write. Every day I practiced reading and writing, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two hard years, I was literate (有读写能力的).Having gone through the long process with art, rock climbing, and reading and writing, now I’ve got to a point in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown, hard, but interesting.4.

Extra help in a special school.D. The art of making things with clay.6. What did the author learn from rock climbing?A. Live and learn.B. Practice makes perfect.C. Everyone has his own strengths.D. A good beginning makes a good ending.7. What kind of person is the author?A. Determined.B. Interesting.C. Talented.D. Hard.三、完形填空Tom was a middle-aged businessman whose repeated failure in his work made him an upset man, often complaining(抱怨) that others had been playing tricks on him. One day he told his wife he was so 1 with the city that he had to leave.So his family moved to 2 city. It was in the evening of a weekend when Tom and his wife were busy 3 up their new home that the 4 suddenly went out. So they had to 5 work. Because Tom had forgotten bringing along candles, he had to wait 6 in a low mood. Just then he heard slight knocks on his door that sounded clear in the 7 night.“Who’s it?” he wondered, since Tom had no8 in the new city. And this was the moment he especially disliked being disturbed or troubled. 9 , he went unwillingly to the door and opened it impatiently. At the door was a little girl, shyly asking, “Sir, do you have 10 ? I’m your neighbour.” “No!” answered Tom in anger an d shut the door 11 . He complained about it with his wife, “As soon as we settled down, the neighbour came to12 things.” After a while, the door was knocked again. He opened it and found the13 girl outside. But this time she was holding two ca ndles, saying, “My grandma told me the new neighbour downstairs might need candles. She 14 me here to give you these.” Tom was very 15 by what he saw. When he fully understood, he said, “Thank you and your 16 . God bless you!”At that moment he suddenly realized what caused his 17 in life. It was his18 and unkindness with other people.

The terrible accident causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world, “What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore.”But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them, namely via a video game called Assassin’s Creed: Unity. In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire. In addition, with VR technology, which is already quite mature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it is still there. Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage (建筑文化遗产)．The idea of digitizing ancient buildings, making digital models of them so their data can be saved, dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then. By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with hundreds of images, as well as measuring(测量) everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as “same” as the real one．As computers and smartphones are hugely popular, the digital replica or digital copy has great practical value. First, it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics(文物) without touching them, which helps protect them. The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them. Furthermore, it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness about them via the Internet. In 2000, a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo, which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting it in the following years. Above all, it preserves all the information of the cultural relics. Even if the original ones are damaged one day, people can still know what they were like and can build a replica if desired．Time is the biggest problem to architectural heritage. Maybe we will have better technologiesin the future, but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment．1. What can we see about Notre Dame in the video game？A. The big fire．B. Its original look．C. The damaged parts．D. Its wooden shape．2. What will engineers do to create a digital replica of the ancient buildings？A. Improve the technology needed．B. Build 3D models of full size．C. Scan the photos of the buildings．D. Measure all the parts precisely．3. How does the author prove the digital copy has great practical value？A. By comparison．B. By listing data．C. By giving examples．D. By classification．4. What is the best title of the passage？A. The Damage of Notre DameB. The Value of Digital ReplicaC. VR Technology Helps Repair the Cultural RelicsD. Digital Technology Helps Protect Ancient Buildings二、阅读D篇At the heart of psychology is understanding behavior, and understanding behavior has much to do with understanding the brain. Neuroscientists (神经系统科学家) have become more efficient at mapping the brain and have gained more understanding of how the brain develops and works. Truly, differences in behavior as we age and between genders, are most likely explained by the physical state of and changes in our brains.Around the age of 12, it is believed that the areas of the brain that are used most will be strengthened and cells in the brain that are not used tend to die. What you do with your brain in your teen years probably decides how your brain will work for the rest of your life. If a teen spends endless hours watching TV, the neural connections that help the brain process TV are what will be strengthened. It is clear, therefore, that how young people spend their time is of great importance.Surprisingly, and different from earlier beliefs, the brain is still developing even in the early twenties. Areas of the brain that are related to emotion, decision making, reasoning, and problem solving are still not fully developed. This may go some way toward explaining why car accident rates in young people are significantly higher than those among older people. Young people don’t have the necessary skills to make complex judgments while driving.There are also differences in the way brains develop when it comes to gender. It appears that girls are ready to process more challenging information earlier than boys, with the area of the brain responsible for this activity peaking at the age of 14 to 16 in boys, a full two years later than girls. In addition, studies have shown that girls andboys process language input in different parts of their brains. Girls typically tend to do better than boys in language, which means that they have more brain matter responsible for language skills.This kind of research raises important questions about how boys and girls should be taught in school to maximize (使最大化) their learning. For example, the idea of single-sex education should perhaps be taken into consideration. Experts say that we would do well to revisit the timing of the subjects taught in school, as some parts of the brain develop before others. Additionally, what we understand about the teenage brain should perhaps be taken into consideration when laws are being made with regard to the minimum (最低的) driving age.5. According to the passage, young people are more likely to have car accidentsbecause _______.A. they fail to realize the importance of skillsB. they don’t have the necessary skills in drivingC. certain areas in their brains are not fully developedD. their brains tend to be influenced by their emotions6. What can we learn from the passage?A. Earlier beliefs show the brain is still developing in the early twenties.B. Girls are better at language because they are devoted to language learning.C. How people spend their time when they’re teenagers affects their future life.D. Gender makes no difference when it comes to the physical state of the brain.7. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.A. single-sex education may benefit teenagersB. the time when school starts should be put offC. lawmakers will lower the minimum driving ageD. the number of subjects in school might be changed8. Which would be the best title for this passage?A. Age and the BrainB. Genders and the BrainC. Mapping the BrainD. The Developing Brain三、七选五Successful people not only have healthy morning habits, but also know how to finish off their day rigRead a book. 9 They all know the importance of educating themselves every single day in order to achieve better results in their professional and personal lives.
