Patri Friedman is planning to dojust that. He left Google years ago to set up the Seasteading Institute. And his dream is to build seasteads-----floating micro-nations in the middle of the ocean.So, what will life on a seastead be like? Probably a bit like life on a cruise liner ( 游轮), but much larger, with shops , gyms , swimming pools, schools and other areas. In fact , the early seasteads may actually be specially-rebuilt cruise liners. But as science advances, Friedman believes they?ll become more like floating cities, with several hundred people.Seasteading raises a lot of questions . First of all , how will the new countries make money? The Seasteading Institute has suggested several money-making ideas, including ocean-based theme parks, casinos ( 赌场) and fish farming. There?s also the questions of safety. With storms, typhoons and pirates( 海盗) , the high seas are a dangerous place. However, the Institute says that it can stand bad weather and prevent crimes with its well-designed systems.So, is this just a day dream? Well, maybe not. One of the people behind the project is Peter Thiel. He founded PayPal and was one of the first investors (投资者) in Facebook. So far , he?s donated $ 500,000 to the project.And Friedman isn?t wasting any time . He recently announced the creation of the Poseidon Award. This will be given to the first seastead with fifty people. Friedman is hoping to hand out the award in 2015.42. Where did Friedman use to work?A. In Facebook.B. In Seastead Institute .C. In PayPal.D. In Google.43. A future seastead may be most likely to look like ___________________.A. a cruise linerB. a floating cityC. a theme parkD. a fishing farm44. What can we infer from the passage?A. Friedman is planning to move to a new country.B. Friedman is worried about the safety of seasteads.C. Friedman has got some supporters for his project.D. Friedman has already won the Poseidon Award.45.Which of the following can be the best titles of this passage?A. Seasteading: a new idea of livingB. Seasteading : a wild way of farmingC. Peter Thiel : a man behind the projectD. Patri Friedman: a crazy day dreamer四、词汇运用(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)A.根据句意和汉语提示，在空白处填入适当的单词46._____________(节日)like Christmas and Halloween are also popular in China now.47.Pop star White Houston was found _______________( 死亡)on the eve of the Grammy Awards.48.---What are the workers doing over there?----- They are busy_______________( 建造) the BRT between Haizhou and Xugou.49. Unluckily , the recent floods _______________( 摧毁)many farm-houses in the south.50. Daniel did the exercises too________________( 粗心) , and it made his teacher very angry.B.根据对话意思和所给首字母，写出完整正确的单词As everyone knows, (51) e______________ fast walk or slow walk does good to the muscles and lungs of human.

They are wondering if the food they are eating is clean, healthy and nutritious(有营养的) or does it contain(包含) something harmful that will cause diseases?Most of the food we eat today is processed food（加工食品）. That means the foods we buy in stores and supermarkets, especially packaged foods, are prepared in factories. Chemicals are added to the foods in these factories to make them look better, taste better and last longer on the shelf. The chemicals(化学制品) are supposed to be harmless and there are laws that control which chemicals can and cannot be used. Unfortunately, some producers do not obey the laws.A producer of steamed buns（馒头）in Zhejiang Province was recently discovered to be breaking the law. He was adding yellow dye(染色) and other banned chemicals to the buns. He was also taking old buns and using them to make new buns. Most ofthe buns were sold to schools and eaten by students like you.Why did he do it? Why did he break the law and endanger people’s health? The answer is simple: he wanted to make more money. It was a moral failing（道德滑坡）, and this is at the heart of the food scandals in China. Too many people focus on(集中于) making money and not on the effects their actions can have on others. ( ) 36. From the first paragraph we can infer that _____.A. something harmful will cause diseasesB. all the food we eat is harmful to people’s healthC. food scandals in China have bad effects on peopleD. people are afraid to put the chopsticks in their mouth( ) 37.

Why did the writer mention a producer of steamed buns in Zhejiang Province?A. Because this producer broke the law.B. Because this producer added yellow dye.C. Because this producer used old buns to make new ones.D. Because the writer wanted to take this producer for example.( )39. Which paragraph explains why some producers don’t obey the law?A. Paragraph 1.B. Paragraph 2.C. Paragraph 3.D. Paragraph 4.COne day, when I arrived at school, an ice cream truck was parked in the schoolyard. Ice cream men usually drove their trucks to primary schools. I had never thought one ice cream truck would come to bring ice cream to us older kids. When I went up to the truck, I was quite surprised to hear the man call out, “Free ice cream!” To make sure of his words, I asked, “I’m sorry, what did you say?” “Free ice cream. Choose whichever you like.” he said smiling.After I was certain that the man was just giving away the ice cream, I talkedwith him for a long time. He told me that his dream had always been to travel around giving away ice cream, and that’s what he was now doing. With his mother’s support, he kept doing what he loved even during hard times. Now, however, some large companies are helping him his plan.The man said he wanted to encourage people to do exactly what their heart told them to do with their lives. I kept asking him, “So your dream was just to drive around and give away ice cream? It seems like a very unusual goal.” “Yes, just meeting people and making them smile,” he replied. At that point he handed me my ice cream. I thanked him, but what I got from him was much more than just an ice cream. It can’t easily be expressed in words. I believe what he was doing is exactly what great people do all the time: small acts of big love.( ) 40. From the story we know that the writer was most probably _____ at that time.A. a middle school studentB. a primary school studentC. a middle school teacherD. a primary school teacher( ) 41. Why did the writer ask the ice cream man what he had said again?A. Because he was not sure whether what he had heard was true.B. Because the ice cream truck had never been here.C.

The ship was theworld’s largest and most luxurious（豪华的）one at that time.High-class facilities（设备）for passengers includingrestaurants, a library and a swimming pool made the ship like a floating hotel. More importantly, its owners and builders said it was unsinkable（不会下沉的）.However, on April 15, the ship sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean and killed over 1,500 people.This April 15, on the 100th anniversary（周年纪念）of the sinking of the Titanic, people in the UK and US will hold activit ies to remember the event. James Cameron’s 1997 film, Titanic, was a huge hit all around the world. Now the 3-D film will come to Chinese theaters on April 10. It is a love story between a poor young man named Jack and a rich young woman named Rose on the unlucky ship. In Belfast, UK, the port of the Titanic’s birth, a museum called Titanic Belfast will open to the public.Today, the sinking of the Titanic is not just an accident. It has become a popular expression to mean a large disaster or mistake, usually because of too much confidence.In the UK, if somebody says that his or her mobile phone is really great and could never break, others might say, “Yeah, and people said the Titanic was unsinkable.” In other words, no matter how confident or prou d people are about something, anything can go wrong.( )43.

Patri Friedman is planning to do just that. He left Google years ago to set up the Seasteading Institute. And his dream is to build seasteads-----floating micro-nations in the middle of the ocean.So, what will life on a seastead be like? Probably a bit like life on a cruise liner ( 游轮), but much larger, with shops , gyms , swimming pools, schools and other areas. In fact , the early seasteads may actually be specially-rebuilt cruise liners. But as science advances, Friedman believes they’ll become more like floating cities, with several hundred people.Seasteading raises a lot of questions . First of all , how will the new countries make money? The Seasteading Institute has suggested several money-making ideas, including ocean-based theme parks, casinos ( 赌场) and fish farming. There’s also the questions of safety. With storms, typhoons and pirates( 海盗) , the high seas are a dangerous place. However, the Institute says that it can stand bad weather and prevent crimes with its well-designed systems.So, is this just a day dream? Well, maybe not. One of the people behind the project is Peter Thiel. He founded PayPal and was one of the first investors (投资者) in Facebook. So far , he’s donated $ 500,000 to the project.And Friedman isn’t wasting any time . He rece ntly announced the creation of the Poseidon Award. This will be given to the first seastead with fifty people. Friedman is hoping to hand out the award in 2015.42. Where did Friedman use to work?A. In Facebook.B. In Seastead Institute .C. In PayPal.D. In Google.43. A future seastead may be most likely to look like ___________________.A. a cruise linerB. a floating cityC. a theme parkD. a fishing farm44. What can we infer from the passage?A. Friedman is planning to move to a new country.B. Friedman is worried about the safety of seasteads.C. Friedman has got some supporters for his project.D. Friedman has already won the Poseidon Award.45.Which of the following can be the best titles of this passage?A. Seasteading: a new idea of livingB. Seasteading : a wild way of farmingC.
