9.As an oceanographer(海洋学家),I've spent many years developing robots to explore the ocean,and now we're putting that technology to use in our JASON Project,a program that's designed to inspire students and get them interested in science,technology,engineering and mathematics.In theaters throughout the country,we bring kids together and send back to them on large screens our live explorations of large areas of the globe.Not only are the kids observers,but they can operate robots moving across the area while broadcasting images back to them.The kids have the sensation(感受) of really being at the site with us.
I believe advances in robot technology will one day be the key to a new kind of travel.In the next 10or 15years,people will have rooms in their houses that will be able to simulate(模拟) other environments.I like to call these rooms"home domes"-small theaters with screens and advanced equipment that can reproduce the sights,sounds,smells,and feel of a desert,or a forest.Hand in hand with these rooms,I can see a market for travel robots located in countries around the world.You could rent(租) a robot working in a rain forest,then go into your home dome,where you yourself operate the robot's movements.The equipment in the room will receive the sensations in the robot's environment and simulate them for you.
Today,much of the world's population never travels more than 50or 60miles from home.And even a person with enough time can see only a part of the earth's sights.But this new way of travel will cost so much less in both time and money and allow people to see a lot more of the globe.And simulated travel will also help protect our planet.You can't take large groups of tourists to look at Dian Fossey's gorillas(大猩猩).But a small robot,with no animal smell,can get very close to a gorilla and send the sights,sounds,and smells back to a million people.

25.The main purpose of the JASON project is toB.
A.design robots
B.educate children
C.explore the world
D.improve technology
26.Without going outside,people in"home domes"canA.
A.get very close to nature 
B.enjoy a guided trip
C.develop and operate robots
D.send images back to scientists
27.What's the author's attitude towards the future of robot technology?C
A.Uncaring      B.Doubtful
C.Hopeful       D.Dissatisfied
28.According to the text,simulated travelD.
A.has been widely accepted
B.costs lots of time and money
C.is harmful to the environment
D.is time-and money-saving.

4.In today's consumer world,we've never had so much,yet it seems we've never been so unsatisfied.The cost of housing has been rising for decades,and the cost to the planet has been huge,too.But there is a way to live a simpler,greener,and more affordable life:buy a TinyDwelling home!
TinyDwelling homes are very small,yet comfortable houses at affordable prices.Each TinyDwelling home includes a living room,kitchen,bathroom,upstairs sleeping area,and convenient storage space.TinyDwelling homes are cheap to run and ecologically-friendly,too.All you need is a small heater to keep your house warm in cold weather,and solar panels (太阳能电池板) to provide light and electricity.
TinyDwelling is part of the small-living movement that began in the late 1990s.Back then,a growing number of people began to live in very small homes.They wanted to reduce their possessions,living space,and energy costs,so as to lead more ecologically-friendly lives.But the small-living movement really took off after the economic crisis of 2008,when many people realized that they couldn't afford to keep large homes.
Lizzy Morriaon,a small-living lover,started TinyDwelling homes in 2008 to meet the needs of these people.Since then,Lizzy has been designing and building homes nonstop,and TinyDwelling homes have become so popular that thousands of people have bought one.And Lizzy hasn't only designing and building houses.She has also been teaching people how to build them.Simply buy the plans and materials so that you can build your own home,and save even more money!

18.About the year 1900,a small,dark-haired hot boy named Charlie Chaplin was often seen waiting outside the back entrance of London theatres.He looked thin and hungry.He was hoping to get work in show business.He could sing and dance; above all,he knew how to make people laugh.But he couldn't get work and so he wandered(流浪)about the city streets.Sometimes he was sent away to a home for children who had no parents.
But twenty years later this name Chaplin became the greatest,best-known,and best-loved comedian in the world.Any visitor to the cinema must have seen some of Chaplin's filmstrips.People everywhere have sat and laughed at them until the tears ran down their faces.Even people who don't understand English can enjoy Chaplin's films though most of them are silent.It isn't what he says that makes us laugh.His comedy doesn't depend upon words and languages.It depends upon little actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world.Acting out,without words,common human situations play an important part in the dances and plays of many countries.It's a kind of world language.
Chaplin lived most of his life in America and died in Switzerland on Christmas Day,1977,at the age of eighty-eight.There was sadness all over the world at the news of the death.
1.Why was young Chaplin waiting outside the back entrance of the theatre?C
A.Because he had no money to buy a ticket.
B.Because he wanted to get a returned ticket.
C.Because he wanted to play a part in a play in order to make a living.
D.Because he wanted to see the famous actors or actress after the performance.
2.It wasD that made people enjoy his films.
A.wonderful dialogues      B.the beautiful music
