Schlastic Art: What is yur jb?
Jaysn Fann: I build human-sized nests all ver the wrld.
SA: Can peple sit in yur nests?
JF: Yes! Peple have dinner parties in my nests. They read and relax in them. Sme f my nests even have several rms. My nests are even used as htel rms.
SA: Hw d yu make a nest?
JF: First, I make a design fr the nest. Then I review the design with my client (客户). After the design is final, I cllect wd and wrk with a team t build it.
SA: What d yu use t make yur nests?
JF: I use eucalyptus (桉树) wd, which is sft and easy t bend when it is yung and freshly cut. But when it dries, it becmes extremely hard. S it hlds its shape and can supprt weight. But the structure's strength als cmes frm the engineering — hw I weave (编织) the wd, and hw I jin majr sectins by blting (用螺栓固定) them tgether.
SA: What makes a great nest design?
JF: Placement is imprtant. The lines f the branches (树枝) create mvement and energy, resulting in a cleaner, simpler backgrund — such as smth stne r the sky — which really fits the nest. Fr me, it's all abut balance.
SA: What skills d yu need fr yur jb?

Brian Greene, a prfessr f physics and mathematics at Clumbia University, has created an nline science educatin platfrm. He tries t “build a bridge” with things yu knw abut, and then “bring yu acrss that bridge t the strange place f mdern physics.”
Recently I had a chance t ask Greene abut wrmhles (a hle which sme scientists think might exist, cnnecting parts f space and time that are nt usually cnnected), time travel and ther mysteries f the universe. I asked him a millin-dllar questin: What if I went thrugh a wrmhle and prevented my parents frm meeting? “Mst f us believe that the universe makes sense,” Greene said. Althugh there are several interesting theries abut time travel, he added, the laws f physics wuld prbably prevent smething s illgical (不合乎常理的) frm taking place. The gd news is that the time paradx (悖论) is pen fr future physicists t slve.
When asked hw physics culd becme mre exciting fr kids, Greene said that bks by Stephen Weinberg, Lenard Susskind, and ther physicists, “make it a great time fr peple wh want t learn abut big ideas but aren't yet ready, perhaps, t learn math.”
When I pinted ut that sme students still might find physics bring, Greene said that the key is t teach them abut things that are strange. “The basic stuff is imprtant,” Greene said. “But I think it's really imprtant t als describe the mre mdern ideas, things like black hles and the Big Bang. If kids have thse ideas in mind, then at least sme f them will be excited t learn all the details.”
Greene has fllwed Albert Einstein's lead in trying t slve the mysteries f the universe. Nw he wants kids t d the same. As Greene said, physics is “nt just a matter f slving prblems in an exam.” It's abut experimenting, shwing an interest in strange phenmena (现象) — and having fun!
24. A millin-dllar questin is prbably very _____.
A. direct B. difficult C. persnal D. lng
25. The bks by Weinberg and Susskind _____.
A. are bring t read
B. are mainly abut math

A. Mdern physics is a bring subject.
B. Interest plays an imprtant rle in studying.
C. It is nt necessary t learn all abut physics.
D. It is easy t describe black hles and the Big Bang.
27. In the last paragraph, Greene hpes that _____.
A. kids can lve science and physics
B. kids can d well in physics exams

C
As an ceangrapher (海洋学家), I've spent many years develping rbts t explre the cean, and nw we're putting that technlgy t use in ur JASON Prject, a prgram that's designed t inspire students and get them interested in science, technlgy, engineering and mathematics. In theaters thrughut the cuntry, we bring kids tgether and send back t them n large screens ur live explratins f large areas f the glbe. Nt nly are the kids bservers, but they can perate rbts mving acrss the area while bradcasting images back t them. The kids have the sensatin (感受) f really being at the site with us.
I believe advances in rbt technlgy will ne day be the key t a new kind f travel. In the next 10 r 15 years, peple will have rms in their huses that will be able t simulate (模拟) ther envirnments. I like t call these rms “hme dmes” — small theaters with screens and advanced equipment that can reprduce the sights, sunds, smells, and feel f a desert, r a frest. Hand in hand with these rms, I can see a market fr travel rbts lcated in cuntries arund the wrld. Yu culd rent a rbt wrking in a rain frest, then g int yur hme dme, where yu yurself perate the rbt's mvements. The equipment in the rm will receive the sensatins in the rbt's envirnment and simulate them fr yu.
Tday, much f the wrld's ppulatin never travels mre than 50 r 60 miles frm hme. And even a persn with enugh time can see nly a part f the earth's sights. But this new way f travel will cst s much less in bth time and mney and allw peple t see a lt mre f the glbe. And simulated travel will als help prtect ur planet. Yu can't take large grups f turists t lk at Dian Fssey's grillas (大猩猩). But a small rbt, with n animal smell, can get very clse t a grilla and send the sights, sunds, and smells back t a millin peple.
28. The main purpse f the JASON Prject is t _____.
A. design rbts
B. educate children
C. explre the wrld
D. imprve technlgy
29. Withut ging utside, peple in “hme dmes” can _____.
A. enjy a guided trip
B. get very clse t nature
C. develp and perate rbts
D. send images back t scientists
30. What's the authr's attitude twards the future f rbt technlgy?
A. Uncaring. B. Dubtful.
C. Hpeful. D. Dissatisfied.
31. Accrding t the text, simulated travel _____.
A. has been widely accepted
B. csts lts f time and mney
C. is harmful t the envirnment
D. is time- and mney-saving
D
In a new mve, dctrs are using feature films in rder t encurage their patients t talk mre freely abut their prblems. Supprters f “film therapy (疗法)” say that discussing characters and plt lines frm a prper film can help peple t understand their feelings better.
One f thse using the methd is Bernie Wder, a dctr frm Elstree, wh charges £45 fr a ne-hur “film therapy” sessin. He said, “I was treating a wman wh had been badly let dwn in a relatinship, and wh was experiencing such strng feelings that it was difficult fr her t speak abut them. I tld her that her situatin reminded me f On the Waterfrnt, when Marln Brand's character realizes his brther is dishnest and he feels a great sense f betrayal (背叛). My patient identified s easily with him that she started t cry. Watching and discussing the film unlcked all the feelings she had buried. Each time she watched and cried, she felt better.”
Mr Wder admits that film therapy des nt wrk fr everyne, but says he has used it successfully with abut a third f his clients. “Thrugh the films' characters, plts and even music, it allws peple t face their prblems.” He said that Falling Dwn, in which Michael Duglas plays the part f an unemplyed man wh is s frustrated (沮丧的) that he uses vilence, was an example f the dangerus implicatins (后果) f nt letting anger g. “I used this film with a patient wh was very upset because he was hlding n t a lt f the anger he felt twards peple wh had frustrated him,” said Mr Wder. “We talked abut Michael Duglas's character and the disastrus path he takes, and my patient then realized that he needed t let g f his feelings mre regularly s as nt t erupt like a time bmb.”
32. What can we learn abut Bernie Wder?

The Krean and the Clmbian are actually speaking Glbish, the latest additin t the 6,800 languages that are said t be spken acrss the wrld. Nt that its inventr, Jean-Paul Nerrière, cnsiders it a prper language.
“It is nt a language; it is a tl,” he says. “A language is the vehicle f a culture. Glbish desn’t want t be that at all.” It is a means f simplifying the English language and giving it rules s it can be understd by all.
Glbish invlves a vcabulary limited t 1,500 wrds, shrt sentences, basic grammar rules, and many hand gestures t get the pint acrss. The wrd list ges frm “able” t “zer”. “Niece and nephew are nt included, but yu can replace them with the children f my brther,” Nerrière says.
The seeds fr Glbish came abut in the 1980s when Nerrière was wrking fr IBM in Paris with clleagues f abut 40 natinalities. At a meeting where they were t be addressed (演讲) by tw Americans whse flight had been delayed, they started talking in their lw-quality English. Then the Americans arrived and beynd their pening phrases, “Call me Jim,” “Call me Bill,” n ne understd a wrd. And Jim and Bill, needless t say, did nt understand the audience’s English.
“My clleagues all, like me, spke lw-quality English. One might have a vcabulary f 2,000 wrds, anther f 1,200 and nt the same wrds. One f the things f interest in Glbish is that with 1,500 wrds yu can express everything. Peple all ver the wrld will speak with the same limited vcabulary,” says Nerrière.
Nerrière believes that with 182 hurs’ learning the student shuld be able t cmmunicate in Glbish. It is nt a pretty language — full f redundancies (冗语) — but Nerrière repeats that it is nthing but a tl. “It is nt the language f great writers such as Shakespeare, Faulkner r Virginia Wlf,” he explains.

解析
A篇(语言学习)
本文是说明文。 文章介绍了一种只有1500个单词的国际辅助语——全球语。
1. B。推理判断题。根据第一段的But the native English speaker sitting between them cannt understand what they are saying可知，这个以英语为母语的人不懂全球语。
2. C。细节理解题。根据第三段的It is nt a language; it is a tl 和It is a means ... s it can be understd by all可知，Nerrière认为全球语只是一种交流的工具。
3. D。推理判断题。根据第五段可知，Nerrière和他的同事们听不懂两个美国人的演讲，美国人也听不懂观众的英语，由此可见这次会议很不成功。
4. D。细节理解题。根据第四段的Glbish invlves a vcabulary limited t 1,500 wrds可知。
5. B。写作目的题。本文对全球语这种简化的国际辅助语进行了简要介绍。
B篇(现代技术)
本文是应用文。文章介绍了四种奇特的发明。
6. A。细节理解题。根据The Necmimi部分介绍的that allws users t express emtinal states和that can als be useful fr athletes t determine the best state fr perfrmance可知，the Necmimi可以反映出运动员的个人状态。
7. D。推断理解题。The strich pillw部分介绍的是一款可以让使用者随时随地打盹的枕头——这个形状怪异的枕头一共有4个洞，一个放头，两个放手，还有一个开口可供呼吸，故该发明的特点就是其便捷性。
8. B。细节理解题。根据The Hövding bike helmet部分介绍的the creatrs are develping a new and better mdel可知，该产品仍在改进中。
9. D。词义猜测题。根据The treadmill desk部分介绍可知，此款产品是为了改变人们久坐不动的生活方式，虽其能达到锻炼身体的目的，但要达到推荐的运动量仍需大量的锻炼。根据Still一词可知，该产品不是针对运动不足的“绝好的解决办法”。
10. A。推断理解题。根据这四个发明介绍中的can be bught, being sld nline, being sld at varius sprting shps, n sale可知，它们都已在市场上销售。故事梗概
