1．One day a mime（哑剧演员）is visiting the zoo and attempts to earn some money as a street performer．As soon as he starts to draw a crowd，a zookeeper drags him into his office．The zookeeper explains that the zoo's most popular attraction，a gorilla（大猩猩），has died suddenly and the keeper fears that attendance at the zoo will fall off．He offers the mime a job to dress up as the gorilla．The mime accepts．

18．How fit are your teeth？Are you lazy about brushing them？Never fear：An inventor is on the case．An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush，and it lets you track（跟踪） your performance on your phone．
The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week．It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection．
The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right （don't forget the insides of the teeth!） and make sure you're brushing long enough．"It's kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis，"says Thomas Serval，the French inventor．
The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone，so developers could，for example，create a game controlled by your toothbrush．You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth．"We try to make it smart and fun，"Serval says．
Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father．He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth．They said"yes，"but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry．He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed．
The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer，from 99to199，and the U．S．is the first target market．

5．One sentence from the news in Washington has remained in my mind since a trip last summer："When you see people run against the crowd escaping（61）fromthe danger，they are （62）probably（probable） firefighters，police or journalists．
I think this is most true for the firefighters．Whenever and wherever （63）disasters（disaster） happen-9/11 Attacks in New York 14 years ago or the explosion in Tianjin on Wednesday night-it is always the firefighters（64）that/whotake the lead to run to the very center，saving lives by（65）risking（risk） their own．I cried today near the explosion site，not because of the smoke from the ongoing fire（66）butbecause of a short message a firefighter sent to a trusted friend that went viral online．It reads，"If I cannot make it，my father is（67）yours（you）； and please remember（68）to sweep（sweep） my mother's tomb．"I was thrilled later to learn that he did make it
"Everyone knows it's （69）dangerous（danger） to be a firefighter．But he has always liked it and has done it for 12 years，"his father said．"He survived this time，but no one knows what（70）will happen（happen） next time．"
2．"Eat local．"It's one way to reduce human effect on the planet．Eating local means to try to buy and consume（消耗） foods that are grown in places close to home．However，most of the food sold at supermarkets is not locally grown or produced．Trucks and planes deliver these foods from hundreds or thousands of miles away．During the transportation，greenhouse gases are produced，causing global warming．So the shorter the distance your foods must travel，the less the harm is done to the environment．
But how do you get local food if you live in a large city，hundreds of miles away from farms？Environmental health scientist Dickson Despommier and his students came up with the idea of a"vertical（垂直的） farm"．
A vertical farm is a glasswalled structure that could be built as tall as a skyscraper（摩天大楼）．Since the garden is built upwards，rather than outwards，it requires much less space than an ordinary farm．The world is quickly running out of room for ordinary farming．Vertical farms could be a key to this situation．Despommier imagines a 30story building with a greenhouse on every floor．The walls of the building would be clear，to allow crops to get as much sunlight as possible．Depending on a city's water resources，Despommier thinks hydroponic（水培） farming is another method for the vertical farm which needs no soil to grow plants．
Despommier says the hydroponic greenhouses would use a system that would use a city's waste water and fill it with nutrition to make the crops grow．If this method works，it would provide food to a city and save millions of tons of water．
The idea of a vertical farm has attracted the attention of government officials around the world．Scott Stringer，a government official from New York City，thinks the city is suitable for the vertical farming．"Obviously we don't have much land left for us，"Stringer said，"But the sky is the limit in Manhattan．"
Despommier admits that there is still a lot of work to do to make vertical farms a reality．"But I think vertical farming is an idea that can work in a big way．"he says．
8．Why are people advised to eat local？C
A．Because it means convenience to people．
B．Because it can help people save a lot of money．
C．Because it is environmentally friendly．
D．Because local food has more nutrition．
9．Which is one of the vertical farm's benefits when compared with ordinary farming？B
A．It produces healthier food．
B．It needs less space of the city．
C．It consumes more energy of the city．
D．It does less harm to the cities．
10．From Stringer'words we can conclude thatD．
A．Manhattan has a great potential（潜力） for development
B．there is a limit for using empty land in Manhattan
C．the height of buildings in Manhattan is limited
D．people can make full use of vertical space of Manhattan
11．What can we infer about the vertical farming in the passage？B
A．It has solved the problem of the food shortage in a big way．
B．In a vertical farm，soil may not be needed to grow plants．
C．It is a 30story building with a greenhouse on every floor．
D．Crops are mainly grown in the rainwater in a vertical farm．
9．Without mypermissionanyone is not allowed to enter．（允许）
