题目内容

Greg Woodburn, a student at the University of Southern California, spends a lot of time cleaning sneakers he collected. But soon the shoes will be sent to poor children in the United States and 20 other countries, thanks to Woodburn’s Share our soles (S.O.S) charity.

A high school track star in the town of Ventura, California, Woodburn was treated in hospital for months with foot injuries.

“I started thinking about the health benefits, the friendship and the confidence I got from running,” he says, “And I realized there are children who don’t even have shoes”.

Woodburn gathered up his old sneakers, and then asked his friends to donate. His goal was to have 100 pairs by Christmas 2006. When he collected more than 500 pairs, he decided to turn the shoe drive into a year-round effort.

Back then, the sneakers came from donation boxes and the local sporting goods store and from door-to-door pickups. Woodburn has now set up collection boxes at two high schools, city gym and recreation center. So far, S.O.S has collected and donated more than 3,000 pairs.

Woodburn has cleaned all the shoes. After sorting the shoes by size, Woodburn selects the good shoes for the washing machine and the worn-out ones for recycling.

For many recipients, the shoes represent opportunity. Two young boys in Southern California attended school every other day because they shared a pair of shoes. They were too big for one boy and too small for the other. Thanks to S.O.S, each brother received his own pair of shoes. The boys now attend school daily and enjoy their learning. When they graduate, they say, they will help a stranger, just as Woodburn helped them.

1.The text is mainly about    .

A.the attempts to collect sneakers            B.the school track star, Woodburn

C.Woodburn and his Share Our Soles          D.the recycling of the worn sneakers

2.What caused Greg Woodburn to donate old shoes for poor children?

A.News about some poor children.            B.The benefits from playing sports.

C.His memory of school life.                 D.The medical treatment he received.

3.When collecting more sneakers than expected. Woodburn decided to      .

A.collect shoes throughout the year           B.set up branches in different cities

C.put out a call to his friends                D.make his effort in the whole city

4.From the fifth paragraph we can learn that       .

A.Woodburn has changed his business

B.Few students are interested in his suggestion

C.Few people supported his career

D.Woodburn succeeded in this charity

5.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.The two brothers would like to share a pair of shoes.

B.The shoes will protect poor children from injuries.

Once in a blue moon there is one on New Year's Eve. Revelers ringing in 2010 will be treated to a so-called blue moon. According to popular definition, a blue moon is the second full moon in a month. But don't   1   it to be blue - the name has nothing to   2   the color of our closest celestial(天体) neighbor.

A full moon   3   on December 2. It will appear again on Thursday in time for the New Year's countdown.

"If you're in Times Square, you'll see the   4   moon right above you. It's going to be that brilliant," said Jack Horkheimer, director emeritus of the Miami Space Transit Planetarium and host of a weekly astronomy TV show.

The New Year's Eve blue moon will be   5   in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America and Africa. For partygoers in Australia and Asia, the full moon does not show up  6   New Year's Day, making January a blue moon month for them.

However, the Eastern Hemisphere can celebrate with a partial lunar eclipse(月蚀) on New Year's Eve when  7   of the moon enters the Earth's shadow. The   8   will not be visible in the Americas.

A full moon occurs   9   29.5 days, and most years have 12.  10  , an extra full moon in a month - a blue moon - occurs every 2.5 years. The   11   time there was a lunar double take was in May 2007. New Year's Eve blue moons are rarer, occurring every 19 years. The last time was in 1990; the next one won't   12    again until 2028.

Blue moons have no astronomical   13   , said Greg Laughlin, an astronomer at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

"`Blue moon' is just a   14   in the same sense as a `hunter's moon' or a `harvest moon,'" Laughlin said in an e-mail.

The popular definition of blue moon   15   after a writer for Sky & Telescope magazine in 1946 misunderstood the Maine Farmer's Calendar and marked a blue moon as the second full moon in a month. In fact, the calendar   16   a blue moon as the third full moon in a season with four full moons, not the usual three.

Though Sky & Telescope corrected the  17   decades later, the definition caught on. For purists(语言纯正癖者), however, this New Year's Eve full moon doesn't even qualify as a   18   moon. It's just the first full moon of the winter season.

In a tongue-in-cheek essay   19   on the magazine's Web site this week, senior contributing editor Kelly Beatty wrote: "If skies are clear when I'm    20  celebrating, I'll take a peek(眯着眼睛看) at that brilliant orb(天体) as it rises over the Boston skyline to see if it's an icy shade of blue. Or maybe I'll just howl."

I was sleeping for over a week after a traffic accident. The only sounds that could be heard were coming from the machines that were  36   me alive.

All my family members were   37   ways to wake me up from my silence.

Greg, my brother – in – law,  38   to take some of my songs I had recently recorded to a local radio station,   39   he explained about my illness. He told them he was  40 I could hear what was going on around me and that he knew having my own songs   41   on the radio had been a huge dream of mine. This would definitely  42   me and do more than any medicine or machine could.

The radio station agreed to help and gave him a specific date and time   43  he could have a radio “  44  ” at my hospital bed. Greg’s decision had filled everyone with 45   and now the moment arrived. Nervous from expectation, all my family members  46   hands and watched over me hoping for a   47  .

The DJ made a pre – song announcement about my   48   to the general audience, and then spoke directly to me.

“Shelly, this is for you. I want you to really listen now. This is not just   49   song we’re playing, but your family’s song of hope. All of us at KKDJ wish you a speedy   50  .”

20090421

 

Everyone in the room held their breath and watched  51   as the music began. Later they all witnessed the tears  52   down my pale cheeks. Though still not awake, it was obvious I heard my song.

Just a few days later, hope turned into   53  . I did in fact awake. Though not   54   unscathed (未受伤的), I did not suffer from the disabilities that had been predicted.

Hope is the part of us that makes us pick up the pieces and try again.   55   hope where would we be?

For photographers lacking training, experience and even the ability to click a shutter button, they produce remarkable pictures.Under the sea, deep in the woods and high in the sky, furry, feathery and leathery-skinned creatures are opening up vistas(远景)by taking cameras where no human can go.

This is the world of animal-borne imagine celebrated last month at a conference sponsored(supported) by the National Geographic Society for the 20th anniversary of its Crittercam, the device that started it all.

Since its debut(首次公开露面)in 1987 on the back of a turtle, the Crittercam and similar devices developed by others have grown smaller and more powerful.

“It’s more than just a camera now,” said Greg Marshall, the marine biologist and now filmmaker who invented the Crittercam.“We are now including more instruments to gather more data while at the same time reducing everything in size.”

The idea of attaching video cameras to animals came to Mr.Marshall in 1986 on a dive off Belize when a shark apporached him.When the animal quickly turned away, he noticed a shark with a sucker fish on its belly.He came up with the idea that putting a camera in place of the sucker fish would allow people to witness the shark’s behavior without disturbing it.

Crittercams have been attached to sharks, sea lions and other marine animals, and, more recently, to land animals.

Birds are a new addition, Mr.Marshall said.Dr.Christian Rutz of Oxford recently reported on tiny cameras called feathercams that monitor the crows in the South Pacific.It has discovered that crows are smarter than anyone knew they not only use twigs(嫩枝)and grass stems as tools to root out food, but they also save their favorite tools to use again.

Tracey L.Rogers, director of the Australian Marine Mammal Research Center in Sydney, said crittercam was a powerful tool in her work with leopard seals(豹斑海豹)in Antarctica.“In studying animals,” Dr.Rogers said at the meeting, “you want to see how our animal models align(与……一致)with reality.With a camera, you actually see what they do.You don’t have to guess.”

1.What’s the text mainly about?

A.The advantages of crittercam.

B.The development of Crittercams in the past 20 years.

C.How crittercam was invented.

D.How crittercam works.

2. What inspired Marshall to invent crittercam?

A.The sight of sucker fish clinging to a shark on a dive.

B.The thought of how to photograph animals better.

C.Noticing a shark eating a sucker fish on a dive.

D.Seeing a shark with a camera on its belly on a dive.

3. According to Dr.Rogers, crittercam ____.

A.can clear up all your doubts about animals

B.is the most powerful tool in studying animals

C.enabled her to observe the crows in the South Pacific closely

D.helped a lot with her research on leopard seals in Antarctica

4. All of the following are improvements of crittercams EXCEPT that ____.

A.the size is becoming smaller

B.more instruments are involved to gather more data

C.they allow researchers to see where and how animals live

D.they are able to be applied to smaller animals such as birds
