American magician David Blaine left the glass box in which he had lived for 44 days without food on October 19．2003．Hundreds of people came to watch the end of his starvation experiment, which has become one of London’s main tourist attractions.
Looking thinner and darker, 30-year-old Blaine was taken out of his box over the River Thames and immediately went to hospital．He was then slowly reintroduced to food, a process doctors say could be life threatening．He had been drinking only water since September 5.
A native of Brooklyn, New York, Blaine first became known as a street magician in the early 1990s．He soon found himself doing magic tricks in bars for the likes of American actor Leonardo DiCaprio and his super model friends.
Over the last decade Blaine has become famous with a combination of breathtaking magic and clever tricks aimed at getting a lot of attention.
In 1999, he was buried in a coffin(棺材) for one week and, in 2000, he spent 62 hours in a giant block of ice．Last year he stood on top of a 25-meter pillar(柱子) in the center of New York for 35 hours before jumping into a pile of boxes.
“I think a lot of people are unable to accept that they’re able to do what they can do,” he said．“They don’t realize we can survive．The human being is an amazing creation.” But he seems to have suffered from spending so long in the glass box．He said that at times he was unable to see, had serious back pains and lost his sense of taste.

查看习题详情和答案>>Artificial(假的) flowers are used for scientific as well as for decorative purposes. They are made from a variety of materials, such as wax and glass, so skillfully that they can scarcely be distinguished from natural flowers. In making such models, painstaking and artistry are called for, as well as thorough knowledge of plant structure. The collection of glass flowers in the Botanical Museum of Harvard University is the most famous in North America and is widely known throughout the scientific world. In all, there are several thousand models in colored glass, the work of two artist-naturalists, Leopold Blaschka and his son Rudolph.?
The intention was to have the collection represent at least one member of each flower family native to the United States. Although it was never completed. It contains more than seven hundred species representing 164 families of flowering plants, a group of fruits showing the effect of fungus diseases, and thousands of flower parts and magnified details. Every detail of these is accurately reproduced in color and structure. The models are kept in locked cases as they are too valuable and fragile for classroom use.?
Which of the following is the best title for the passage??
A. An Extensive Collection of Glass Flowers ?
B. The Lives of Leopold and Rudolph?
C. Flowers Native to the United States?
D. Material Used for Artificial Flowers?
It can be inferred from the passage that the goal of Leopold and Rudolph was to _______.?
A. create a botanical garden where only exotic flowers grew?
B. do a thorough study of plant structure?
C. make a copy of one member of each United States flower family?
D. show that glass are more realistic than wax flowers?
The underlined word “it” refers to _______.?
A. the intention B. the collection ?
C. one member D. each flower family?

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
No wonder English poses(构成)such a challenge to non-native speakers．This most global of languages has more words than any other, over 1 million according to the Global Language Monitor．Out of this number, the average American college student has mastered between 8,000-15,000．
Realizing that words are the building blocks of language, many Chinese students try hard to catch up．They make out long lists of words－often in alphabetical order－and simply memorize their definitions(释义)and Chinese meanings．
The bad news is that definition memorization does them little good when it comes to college entrance tests like the SATs．For these tests, a student needs to understand, not simply parrot words studied．
The good news is that there are better ways to build an academic English vocabulary．
Vocabulary learning system
The first thing to do is to develop an organized, but easy means of collecting and learning new words．We recommend a card system that includes the following information：
Word－Simple Definition in English－Phrase or Sentence－Related Words－Synonyms(同义词)and Antonyms(反义词)－with a Chinese translation on the reverse(背面)of the card．
The advantage of this system is that with a single card, a student can learn not just one word but a group of related words．
Keep your cards on a detachable(可分离的)metal ring, so you can carry them around and add to your collection daily．
