6.Davion Navar Henry Only has spent his whole life in Florida's foster (收養(yǎng)的) care system.His mother was in prison when he was born,and when he did an Internet search for her name in June this year he learned she'd died just a few weeks earlier.He's been moved from here to there throughout his childhood without ever finding somewhere he really belongs.As a teenager now,Davion is starting to feel like he is running out of time-at risk of becoming one of the more than 23,000 youths each year who simply"age out"of the foster care system at age 18 or older and are left on their own without ever finding a family connection.
   Davion decided to take his future into his own hands and asked his caseworker if she could help him speak at a church.She made arrangements at St.Mark Missionary Baptist Church in St.Petersburg,F(xiàn)lorida.There,as the article reported,the shy teenager who worked hard to get A so far this year in everything but geometry(幾何學(xué)) and would love to play football if he had someone to drive him to practice,stood at the pulpit(講道壇) and asked if"someone,anyone"could adopt him.
Davion's story quickly is shared on social media networks and websites around the country.He appears on national television and there is wonderful news to report.More than 10,000 families want to adopt him.Davion's story has raised awareness of adoption everywhere,but it's important to remember that there are thousands more Davion out there.Davion tells the reporter who first shared his story in a follow up interview:"I know what it's like to have nobody,with no Light at the end of the road.no one who wants you.I just keep saying,'There is only one me.But all my friends,all the other guys at the group home,all those other kids need families too.'I just hope they don't give up and that someone gives them a chance."
21.We can infer from the passage that DavionD.
A.is living on his own now
B.is actually a pessimistic boy
C.lost Mum when he was a baby
D.is less than 18 years old
22.Davion's behavior has not only helped himself butD.
A.encouraged more Davions to follow him
B.drawn the US government's full attention
C.changed the foster care system's situation
D.made people realize the importance of caring other Davions.
23.Davion's story tells such a truth as"C".
A.A lost may turn out to be a gain.
B.Where there's a will,there's a way.
C.God helps those who help themselves.
D.Great things may be done by mass effort.

11.Hospital nurses thought that the 73-year-old James Wathen had reached the end of his road.He stopped eating,he could hardly speak,and he was very weak.But those all changed one day when he told a nurse that he missed his dog.James hadn't seen his one-eyed Chihuahua named Bubba after he was sent to the hospital weeks before.
So a wonderful team of nurses got together to find James'companion,Bubba.They all held on the hope that this reunion would make their patient come alive again.
They successfully found Bubba,but ever since Bubba was separated from James,he also became sick.The dog didn't know where James was,and believe it or not,they both stopped eating at about the same time.The team of nurses worked hard and scheduled a very special visitor for James that weekend.
In their 30-minute visit,Bubba's eyes got real bright and he was like a different dog.James also became very bright,and he was a different man,too."He has done a complete turnaround.He is speaking,he is sitting up,and he is eating.He wasn't like the same guy."a nurse said."And the dog is eating and doing better now,too."
From James and Bubba's story we can see that our friendships are more important than we can ever imagine.Your smiling face can bring life to a friend that's feeling down.So never forget that you are an important part of someone's life.Someone needs you today.
25.What's wrong with James before seeing his dog Bubba again?C
A.He was weak and dying.
B.He was too old to be cured.
C.Though he stopped eating,he could speak.

18.A solar bag is a long plastic bag made from very thin plastic and colored black to take in solar energy.The heated air inside the bag causes the bag to float.Although the solar bag looks similar to a regular black trash bag,the key difference is the thickness of the plastic.A great science experiment might be testing bags of different thicknesses to see which one floats the highest!
Materials
v  Solar bag
v  Solar bag string
Notice that the bag is made out of a lightweight plastic material.Be careful when dealing with the bag since the pla stic will tear easily.
Carefully take the plastic bag from the packaging and hold one of the op en end of the bag.Tie this end with string.
The best time for a launch is in the cool morning.We have not had much success with a launch in the middle of a hot day.
Choose a proper place for the launch.Find a field clear of any buildings,trees and power lines.Choose a day to do the experiment when it is sunny and free of any wind.
Put the solar bag onto a soft surface like grass.Have one person hold the bag open as you begin to run around and fill the bag with air.
Fill the bag with air until about 2 feet remains without air so that you can hold it in your hand.Close the end and use a string to keep it on the ground.
The last part of the work is done by the sun.Gather around the giant bag but try not to touch it-sharp fingernails will easily break the thin plastic.Be careful!The outside of the bag also gets very hot to the touch.It's important to remember that it may t ake as long as ten minutes for the air inside to heat up enough to cause the bag to float.
25.What's the difference between a Solar Bag and a regular black trash bag?B
A.The weight.
B.The thickness.
C.The material.
D.The color.
26.The best time to launch a Solar Bag is inA.
A.a(chǎn) sunny cool morning without any wind
B.a(chǎn) sunny hot afternoon without any wind
C.a(chǎn) sunny cool morning with some wind
D.a(chǎn) sunny hot afternoon with some wind
27.A good place for a launch isB.
A.between buildings                    
B.in an open area
C.on top of a tree                       
D.near a power station.

16.Professor David Agus,one of leading scientists at the medical revolution,says that he believes that with our current technology humans have the potential to regularly live into their ninth or tenth decade.
Craig Venter,co-founder and CEO of Human Longevity Inc.,says there might be no supposed limit to how long we can live,but that"we need to make sure we can support extra long life on this planet."Huge advancements at the intersection (交叉領(lǐng)域) of medicine and technology,such as big data,are making these kinds of developments in aging possible.
Venter explained that when he first studied the human genome (基因組) 15 years ago,there was nothing for him to compare it to.For example,we now know that we vary about 3% from the 6.4 billion letters of DNA that we get from our parents.Ten years ago,Venter said he wouldn't have thought that we'd be able to predict someone's age from their genetic code.We also now know that our genetic code is constantly changing,he says.Men,for example,start losing Y chromosomes (染色體) in their 40s and 50s."To help crack (破解) the big data code in medicine,my team have hired the engineer who designed Google Translate,"says Venter."We're using machine learning to try to understand and translate all that data,"he explains."We now have the ability to produce a photo of someone straight from their genetic code."
Therefore,will all this data automatically extend our lifespan?That's a bit more complicated."We're learning new things every six months,"Agus says."These new things make us more complex.That means we're never going to totally understand disease,"he adds."But we don't need to understand it to control it."
32.What is the belief that David Agus holds?C
A.There will be no disease in the future.
B.Our life expectancy will slowly increase.
C.Everyone can live a long life in the future.
D.Advance in technology can make us stop aging.
33.According to Paragraph 3,Venter tries to stressC
A.the discovery of DNA
B.the secret of the genetic code
C.the progress in technology and medicine
D.the intelligent machine used in research
34.By cracking someone's genetic code,we canC
A.change his DNA                           
B.break the big data code
C.guess his appearance                   
D.stop him from aging
35.Where is the passage most probably taken from?A
A.A science magazine.
B.A research report.
C.A book review.
D.A travel guide.
