二、Reading Comprehension

1.Scientists said they have found evidence of a giant planet far out in our solar system.In a statement, the California Institute of Technology—Caltech—said this planet travels a very strange “longandthin orbit in the distant solar system.”The discovery was made by two researchers at Caltech: Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown. They used mathematical modeling and computer simulations (模拟) to find the planet.So far, there have not been any direct observations of the planet. “My jaw hit the floor, ” said astronomer (宇航员) Mike Brown, the moment he realized there might be a ninth planet. The scientists said it would take this planet 10,000 to 20, 000 years just to make one full orbit around the sun. The new planet, called “Planet Nine ” , has a mass about 10 times the size of Earth.If they are right, the newly found planet would be the ninth planet in our solar system. Pluto (冥王星) had been called the ninth planet until 2006, when it was renamed a “dwarf planet.” Actual confirmation of a ninth planet would be very big news. “This would be a real ninth planet,” Brown said in the statement. “There have only been two true planets discovered since ancient times, and this would be a third. It's a pretty substantial chunk of our solar system that's still out there to be found, which is pretty exciting.” While they did not get a picture of “Planet Nine ” yet, the scientists say they are using the biggest—and best—telescopes on Earth to try to find “Planet Nine. ” They are also working on improving their computer simulations. They want to find out more about “Planet Nine’s” orbit, and its impact on the outer part of our solar system.  The newly-found planet ________.

A.moves around the Sun
B.was discovered by two astronomers
C.travels a round orbit
D.is far away from our solar system

3.According to the scientists, ________

D.Pluto was given anew name after it was discovered in 2006

4.It can be inferred from Paragraph 4that ________.

A.there is no actual confirmation about the ninthplanet

6.“Helicopter parenting”describes a style. of raising children where parents are over-protective and do too much. The term was used for the first time in the late 1960s. It describesparents who hover (悬停) over their kids like a helicopter.Today,modern technology allows these helicopter parents to hover from even far away. They can give their children directions at any moment from anywhere. Author Julie Lythcott-Haims wrote a book titled How to Raise an Adull. In her book, she gives readers a closer look at this parenting style. “Over-parenting”, she says,“comes in three types: the first is the over-protective parents who think the world is scary and unsafe and unpredictable.And therefore,I must protect and prevent.The second type is the over-directive type—the parent who says, I know best what leads to success and you will do as I say. You’ll study these topics, do these activies and you will be highly achieving at all of it. The third type is the concierge (看门人) —the parent who just wants to make life smoother—from waking their kid up,to keeping track of their deadlines, to making sure they haven't forgotten anything, to even doing the homework for the kid. ” Julie Lythcott-Haims says she experienced the effects of helicopter parenting firsthand when she worked as dean of first-year students at Stanford University.The incoming students were very smart and accomplished on paper. But many were unable to take care of themselves. “They were turning to parents constantly for guidance, for problem solving,to have them make the choice about something. ” Often times,Lythcott-Haims had toremind those parents that their kids were old enough to take care of themselves.  The term “helicopter parenting ” ________.

A.describes parents who give children directions in the air
B.was probably invented in the late nineteenth century
C.gains more meaning as modern technology develops
D.refers to parents who concern too much about kids

7.According to Lythcott-Haims, over-parenting has all the following featuresEXCEPT ________.

11.I recently had the opportunity to go to my first ever music festival. We Love Green was held over a weekend in Parc de Bagatelle, Paris. While like most music festivals, it boasted an impressive and diverse music, there was something extra special about this one. You see, this was a green festival! From the food to the stalls (货摊) , everything was as environmentally friendly as possible. Not only was the majority of the furniture/stalls/toilet rooms hand-made from wood, the festival was powered by solar energy. Guests were invited to dispose of rubbish in specially labeled dustbins which, after the festival,were sorted so all of the waste could be recycled appropriately. Fresh water was made available freely to everyone so that attendants were not encouraged to buy drinks in plastic bottles which would have created a lot of waste.I found the experience incredibly fun but also really interesting. Having never been to a music festival before, I was unsure of what to expect. However, I was happy to find myself sitting in a field eating a healthy, home-made fruit cake whiledrinking organic fruit juice. There were many stalls,art installations, and different areas,meaning there was something there for everyone, from small children to the elderly! This seems like such a great idea, making something very fun and interesting, that does not cause great damage to the environment. I have since discovered that there are more events similar to this across the globe, which is great! I can’t imaginehow much waste has been produced from such public events as festivals across the years before we realised just how bad they were for the environment! Which of the following can be the title of thepassage?

A.We Love Green
B.We Love Environment
C.Music Festivals
D.A Unique Public Event

12.What is special about the music festival?

A.It has a special band.

C.recycle rubbish by themselves
D.drink free fresh water

14.According to Paragraph3, the author ________.

A.fully enjoyed the festival
B.expected muh from the festival
C.found the event very funny
D.liked listening to music at home

15.The purpose of this passage is to ________.

A.raise funds for environment protection
B.highlight that being green can be fun
C.encourage people to go to music festivals

16.Chokwe Selassie is on a mission to help drivers avoid potholes (路面坑洞) .The eighth-grader got his inspiration on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. “I decided I was going to do something about the pothole problem in my city,”said Chokwe. His solution: an app that warns drivers when there is a pothole ahead. Chokwe developed the app with his friends,“When the app detects a pothole, it is highlightedin red,” Chokwe says. “And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you with a beep.” Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes they encounter, and to look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them. The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jackson. “It works by using the city’s 311 call system, soit uses information already stored in a database,” Chokwe says. Throughthe call system, citizens dial 311 to report non-emergency problems—which include potholes. As Chokwe and his friends worked on the app, they also went street by street throughout the city. They determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give them a large enough sample size to test it. Although the app isn’t yet available for sale,Chokwe is already looking for ways to improve it. The app remains limited to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther. “I want to keep working on the app until it’s nationwide, ” Chokwe says.  Chokwe Selassie got the idea to develop the app from ________.

B.a recent news report
C.his friends
D.his mother
