French novelist Jules Verne (1828~1905) is often called the father of science fictions.Although he was not a great traveller himself,his characters journeyed to the moon (in From Earth to Moon),Under the sea (in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea),into a volcano (in A Journey to the Centre of the Earth),around the world (in Around the World in Eighty Days) and to many other places.
Jules Verne was born in the French city of Nantes in 1828.When he was a boy he ran away from home to work on a ship.However,his father soon found him and brought him home.After that he decided that any future travel he did would be in books.In 1847,his father sent Jules to Paris to study to be a lawyer.Even though he was busy writing,Verne passed his exams in 1849 with high marks.
When Jules told his father he did not want to be a lawyer,his father was very angry.He stopped sending his son any money,so Jules had to earn a living by his writing.Over the next few years he wrote many stories and plays which brought him only a little money.Then,in 1856,he met Honorine de Viane,a rich,young widow with two children.The couple married the next year and their only child Michel was born in 1862.

One of the world’s richest men has taken a close interest in one of man’s most basic functions:visiting the toilet.Bill Gates’s charitable organization,the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,is looking for inventors to design the loo of the future,which,they hope,would improve sanitation for millions of people around the world.
So,what’s wrong with the traditional flush toilet?Firstly,it wastes a huge amount of potential drinking water.Secondly,they are more likely to cause pollution.This is a real problem in many areas of the developing world,where,according to United Nations estimates,unsafe sanitation causes half of all hospitalizations.Younger people are particularly at risk.Illnesses which cause diarrhea are responsible for the deaths of about 1.5 million children a year.Finally,standard lavatories simply aren’t practical in remote areas.
The challenge set by Bill Gates was to come up with a latrine which works without running water,electricity or aseptic tank.It also needed to operate for less than 5 cents.28 designs were displayed at the recent Reinvent the Toilet Fair,in Seattle,USA.Among them was one which turned human waste into electricity using microwaves,another which converted human waste into charcoal,and yet another which used urine for flushing.
But the winner was a solar­powered design which generated hydrogen gas and electricity. The team from the California Institute of Technology(CIT) picked up a prize of $100,000.
But clearly Bill Gates doesn’t feel he’s flushing money down the toilet.After the Seattle event he said,“We couldn’t be happier with the response we’ve gotten.” Gates has even pledged $370 million more to the future toilet project.They hope to field test more prototypes over the next three years.
小题1:Why is Bill Gates paying people to invent new toilets?
A.Because he wants to test people’s sense of creativity.
B.Because he wants to improve sanitation for many people.
C.Because he thinks the traditional ones are out of fashion.
D.Because he can’t design this kind of things himself.
小题2:Which of the following is NOT a problem with the traditional flush toilet?
A.They waste too much water.
B.They might cause diseases.
C.They are not always practical.
D.They are too complicated to use.
小题3:The underlined word “latrine” in the third paragraph might have similar meanings to the word “________” in the text.
A.looB.sanitation
C.diarrheaD.prototype
小题4:The team from CIT won the prize because their design ________.
A.can change human waste into electricity
B.can turn human waste into charcoal
C.can produce power with solar energy
D.can use urine for flushing

William Henry Bragg was born at Westward,Cumberland,on July 2,1862.He was educated at Market Harboroagh Grammar School and afterwards at King William’s College,Isle of Man.Elected as a minor scholar of Trinity College,Cambridge,in 1881,he studied mathematics under the well­known teacher,Dr E.J.Routh.He studied physics in the Cavendish Laboratory during a part of 1885,and at the end of that year he was elected to the Professorship of Mathematics and Physics in the University of Adelaide,South Australia.
His research interests dealt with a great many fields and he was skilled at picking up a subject,almost casually,making an important contribution,and then dropping it again.However,the work of Bragg and his son Lawrence in 1913~1914 founded a new branch of science of the greatest importance and significance,the analysis of the crystal structure by means of X­rays.It is true that the use of X­rays as an instrument for the systematic revelation of the way in which crystals are built was entirely due to the Braggs.This was recognized by the award of the Nobel Prize jointly to father and son in 1915.
He was an honorary Doctor of some sixteen universities,and a member of the leading foreign societies.Many other medals and awards were bestowed upon him among which may be mentioned the Rumford Medal in 1916 and the Copley Medal (its premier award) in 1930.
He was the author of many books,including Studies in Radioactivity,X­Rays and Crystal Structure,The World of Sound,Concerning the Nature of Things,Old Trades and New Knowledge,An Introduction to Crystal Analysis,and The Universe of Light.His favorite hobby was golf.After a life of astonishing productiveness,Sir William Bragg died on March 10,1942.
小题1:William Henry Bragg was awarded the Nobel Prize because________.
A.he succeeded in using X­rays to find out the crystal structure

About a year ago,if you had asked who Dinara Safina was,the answer would have been,“She is Marat Safin’s younger sister.” She was overshadowed by her wonder brother.But now she has made a name for herself:the world No.1 player in women’s tennis.
The 22­year­old Russian overtook Serena Williams of the US for top ranking on April 20.“Before,every place I go,I am Marat’s sister.Nothing else,”she told New York Times.“I always wanted to be myself,and now finally the results come,and people can know me as Dinara Safina.”
Safina has made it to two great event finals,in the 2008 French and in the 2009 Australian Open,and won a silver medal in the Beijing Olympic Games.
Clearly,family isn’t the only connection Safina and her brother share.Their DNA burns with competitive fire.Safin has held the distinction for years of being a hottempered player on court.When he lost his temper,he would smash a racket (球拍).Safina is as emotionally explosive as her brother.A headline in the newspaper The Australian once described her as “mad as a snake”.The Sydney Morning Herald,during the Australian Open,summed up Safina’s volatile (不稳定的) emotional state with the headline—Safina goes from basket case to top of the world.
It’s not rare for a family to have two top tennis players.Safina’s father owns a tennis academy and her mother worked as a coach.“I had no choice but to become a tennis player,but I don’t mind being a tennis player,” Safina said.
From this talented family she is also given one of her best weapons on court,her size.She is 1.82 meters tall and weighs 70kg.But it is hard work that led her to her recent success.
“I hope to prove to everyone over the coming months that I deserve the honor of being world No.1,”she said.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.How Safina came first in women’s tennis.
B.How the parents taught Safina to play tennis.
C.How her brother helped Safina play tennis.
D.How Safina beat her brother in playing tennis.
小题2:Which one of the following doesn’t contribute to Safina’s success?
A.Her hard work and strong competitiveness.
B.Her emotional explosion and volatile emotional state.
C.The fact that she is 1.82 meters tall and weighs 70kg.
D.The fact that her parents are both good tennis players.
小题3:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Serena Williams was topped by Safina on ranking list on April 20.
B.Dinara Safina was always very confident and eager to succeed.
C.Safina was eager to become a tennis player when she was a child.
D.Marat Safin won the two finals,in the 2008 French and in the 2009 Australian Open.
小题4:What can we infer from the headline “Safina goes from basket case to top of the world”?
A.Safina wanted to top the world in tennis when she was a baby in a basket.
B.After she won the Australian Open,Dinara Safina cried.
C.Too nervous at first,Safina finally gained confidence and won.
D.Safina learnt from the basket case and finally came top of the world.
