He then helps peple use the mney t get back n their feet.
Many f Petersn’s new friends use the dnatins t secure immediate necessities — medical care htel rms, fd. Faris used the funds frm his prtrait t recrd an album, fulfilling his musical dreams. When the check was delivered, “they bth wept in my arms,” Petersn recalls.
Having painted 41 f these prtraits himself, he’s discvered that the buyers tend t cnnect t the stry f the persn in the painting, finding similarities and ften friendship with smene they might have therwise verlked r steretyped.

Earthquakes cannt be frecast, but engineers can prepare fr them. Seismic-islatin systems use cncrete (水泥), rubber and metal t reduce quake damage. But such adaptatins are expensive. Engineer Jian Zhang f the University f Califrnia, Ls Angeles, says the system can increase building csts by 20 percent. Althugh these systems might save mre than they cst ver time, builders in sme areas may nt have the mney fr them.
A new seismic-islatin methd uses the physics f rlling t create a simpler, lwer-cst chice with easily fund things: used tennis balls. The team f Michalis Vassiliu, an engineer, based its methd n an early frm f seismic islatin that rlls a shaking building t a stp the way a skater cmes t rest. By separating a building frm the grund with a layer f balls, rlling islatin changes hrizntal shaking int a sft rcking mvement and uses frictin t reduce the shaking.
The researchers built a cheap mdel cnsisting f fur filled tennis balls between tw cncrete bards, and they fund that it withstd simulated (仿造的) earthquake shaking while supprting eight kilnewtns (千牛顿) f frce per ball— abut twice what islatin systems might experience under ne-stry huses. The balls had t cntain exactly the right amunt f the cncrete mixture t reduce the shaking withut cracking during tests.
Zhang, wh didn’t take part in the study, says that the wrk is valuable. But she ntes that the results are basic. Vassiliu agrees that next steps will mean creating and testing a larger mdel with hundreds f tennis balls. Vassiliu says that he has received mney t test the system n the grund t imprve the inventin. “Fr this t actually be applied,” he adds, “yu need t develp it with engineers frm develping cuntries s that it actually deals with their needs.”
8. What is the first paragraph mainly abut?
A. Earthquakes can’t be frecast.
B. Seismic-islatin systems can reduce quake damage.
C. Engineers can prepare fr earthquakes.
D. Present seismic-islatin systems are very expensive.
9. Which is nt the advantage f the new seismic-islatin system?
A. It is simple.B. It is cheap.
C. It nly needs used tennis.D. It is better t reduce damage.
10. What des the underlined wrd “it” refer t?
A. The new system mdel.B. The simulated earthquake.
C. A filled tennis ball.D. A ne-stry huse.
11. What des Jian Zhan think f the new system?
A. It is little valuable.B. It is t simple t use.
C. It needs t be imprved.D. It nly be needed in develping cuntry.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了由于目前的隔震系统非常昂贵，所以工程师发明了一种新的隔震系统，介绍了其工作原理以及未来的发展方向。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Earthquakes cannt be frecast, but engineers can prepare fr them. Seismic-islatin systems use cncrete (水泥), rubber and metal t reduce quake damage. But such adaptatins are expensive. Engineer Jian Zhang f the University f Califrnia, Ls Angeles, says the system can increase building csts by 20 percent. Althugh these systems might save mre than they cst ver time, builders in sme areas may nt have the mney fr them.(地震无法预测，但工程师可以提前做好准备。隔震系统使用混凝土、橡胶和金属来减少地震破坏。但这样的适应是昂贵的。加州大学洛杉矶分校的工程师张健说，这个系统可以使建筑成本增加20%。尽管随着时间的推移，这些系统节省的钱可能会超过它们的成本，但某些地区的建筑商可能没有钱购买它们)”可知，第一段的主要内容是目前的隔震系统非常昂贵。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“A new seismic-islatin methd uses the physics f rlling t create a simpler, lwer-cst chice with easily fund things: used tennis balls.(一种新的隔震方法利用滚动的物理原理，用容易找到的东西创造了一种更简单、成本更低的选择：二手网球)”可知，新的隔震系统的优点是只需要二手网球。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The researchers built a cheap mdel cnsisting f fur filled tennis balls between tw cncrete bards”以及后文“withstd simulated (仿造的) earthquake shaking”可知，研究人员建立了一个便宜的模型，由两个混凝土板之间的四个填充网球组成，他们发现新的系统模式可以承受模拟的地震震动，故it指的是“新的系统模式”。故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Vassiliu says that he has received mney t test the system n the grund t imprve the inventin. “Fr this t actually be applied,” he adds, “yu need t develp it with engineers frm develping cuntries s that it actually deals with their needs.”(Vassiliu说，他已经收到了一笔资金，用于实地测试该系统，以改进这项发明。他补充说：“要真正应用这一技术，你需要与来自发展中国家的工程师一起开发它，这样才能真正满足他们的需求。”)”可知，詹建认为这个新系统需要改进。故选C。
D
It’s a questin that’s bthered cultural critics fr decades: while we knw mre than ever, are we getting sillier and dumber as a result f the increasing amunt f technlgy at ur dispsal?
The current debate abut intelligence, sparked by Nichlas Carr’s recent The Shallws, asks what the Internet is ding t ur brains? Like Susan Jacby’s The Age f American Unreasn, Mr. Carr addresses the sense f despair amng American intellectuals abut the cuntry’s pr educatinal perfrmance when cmpared with ther cuntries. In reading, mathematics and science, American 15-year-lds suffer in the lwer half f the rankings fr the 30 wealthiest cuntries.
But things are rarely as they seem. E-bks barely existed a decade ag, but have explded in ppularity since Amazn intrduced its Kindle a few years back. E-bks are nw utselling hardcvers. Perhaps we are witnessing nt a decline in bk reading but a renaissance. The irny is that had cmputers been invented befre bks we wuld nw.be anxius abut the lss f multi-media, multi-tasking, cmputer-gaming skills as ur children wasted their time burying themselves in single tpic paper bks.
“There is simply n experimental evidence t shw that living with new technlgies fundamentally changes brain rganizatin in a way that affects ne’s ability t fcus,” says Daniel Simns, a psychlgist at Unin Cllege, New Yrk.
The danger, if there is ne, is that the easy, n-demand access t lts f infrmatin frm the Internet may delude us int mistaking the data we dwnlad fr genuine wisdm wrth acting upn. Only fls wuld venture int such a frest f infrmatin with anything less than their eyes wide pen and their brains fully engaged .Frtunately，there are fewer fls arund than sme f the scaremngers(散布谣言者)like t think.
12. What makes American schlars upset?
A. US kids’ weak academic perfrmance.
B. The nging debate abut intelligence.
C. The pr educatin in USA.
D. America’s wealth ranking.
13. Why are cmputers mentined in paragraph 3?
A. T cntrast with the ppularity f Kindle.
B. T highlight the benefits f high tech.
C. T warn abut a decline in reading.
DT stress the imprtance f bks.
14. What des the underlined wrd “delude" mean in paragraph 5?
A. terrifyB. argueC. frceD. trick
15. What is the main idea f this passage?
A. New technlgy changes ur brains.
B. Expsure t high tech shuld be reduced.
C. Advanced technlgy wn’t make us dumb
D. Nichlas Carr released a bk n intelligence.
【答案】12. A13. B14. D15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章议论的话题是当我们比以往任何时候都知道更多的时候，人类不会因为越来越多的技术而变得越来越愚蠢。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Like Susan Jacby’s The Age f American Unreasn, Mr. Carr addresses the sense f despair amng American intellectuals abut the cuntry’s pr educatinal perfrmance when cmpared with ther cuntries. (和苏珊·雅各比(Susan Jacby)的《美国非理性时代》一样，卡尔讲述了美国知识分子对本国教育表现与其他国家相比不佳的绝望情绪。)”以及“In reading, mathematics and science, American 15-year-lds suffer in the lwer half f the rankings fr the 30 wealthiest cuntries.(在阅读、数学和科学方面，美国15岁的学生在30个最富裕国家中排名靠后。)”可知，美国孩子的学习成绩不佳让美国学者感到不安。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Perhaps we are witnessing nt a decline in bk reading but a renaissance. The irny is that had cmputers been invented befre bks we wuld nw be anxius abut the lss f multi-media, multi-tasking, cmputer-gaming skills as ur children wasted their time burying themselves in single tpic paper bks.( 也许我们正在目睹的不是读书的减少，而是读书的复兴。具有讽刺意味的是，如果电脑早于书籍发明，我们现在会担心多媒体、多任务处理和电脑游戏技能的丧失，因为我们的孩子把时间浪费在单一主题的纸质书上。)”可知，随着科技的发展，也许我们正在目睹的不是读书的减少，而是读书的复兴。故提及电脑是因为强调科技所带来的益处。如果不是电脑的出现，孩子们会把时间浪费在单一主题的纸质书上，即电脑丰富了人类的读书。故选B。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后的内容“int mistaking the data we dwnlad fr genuine wisdm wrth acting upn.(我们把下载的数据误认为是值得采取行动的真正智慧)”可知，方便地、按需地从互联网上获取大量信息会给我们带来一些消极的影响，该影响体现在欺骗我们把下载的数据误认为是值得采取行动的真正智慧。故划线词delude与D选项为同义词，意为“欺骗”。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“It’s a questin that’s bthered cultural critics fr decades: while we knw mre than ever, are we getting sillier and dumber as a result f the increasing amunt f technlgy at ur dispsal?(这是一个困扰了文化评论家几十年的问题：当我们比以往任何时候都知道更多的时候，我们是否因为越来越多的技术而变得越来越愚蠢？)”以及通读全文可知，文章以“当我们比以往任何时候都知道更多，会不会因为技术而变得越来越愚蠢”的问题开篇，后文对此问题进行了否定回答，即先进的科技不会让我们变笨。故选C选项概括文章主要内容，符合标题。故选C。
