Born on Aug. 26, 1963 in to a teacher’s family in Tianjin, Liu enrolled at the University of International Relations in Beijing in 1981, majoring in French literature. He was retained at the university as a faculty member(教职工)after graduation in 1985. He won two first prizes in Beijing’s first-ever university English and French singing contests in 1985. To help promote local education by teaching music, he lived in Shizuishan, a remote area in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, in 1985~1986. He was appointed a professor at the University of International Business and Economics to teach the history of Western music in 1991, and has been working at the university for more than 20 years.

As a professor, Liu is invited every year to colleges and universities in Beijing to teach music courses. As a famous musician, when asked if his classes differ from other teachers’, Liu simply said, “Nothing different. While standing on the platform, I am just a teacher. Everything outside has nothing to do with me at that moment. ”

Since becoming a professional singer in 1985, Liu’s singing has been widely welcomed across the country. He won many national awards, including the Top 10 Film and TV Singers in the Country in 1988, in 1990 and in 1992.

Burning less calories while walking seems like a bad idea, but making the walk easier may actually keep people on their feet longer, and that scientists say, has substantial health benefits.

Analyzing the human walk, biomedical engineers Steven Collins and Greg Sawicki concluded that our ankles and calves perform motions similar to a spring coupled with a clutch that intermittently stores and releases energy.

Sawicki, from the University of North Carolina, explained what’s involved.

“We found in basic science experiments that that system, your calf and Achilles tendon, works a lot like a catapult. So, the muscle holds on to the tendon and your body actually stretches your Achilles tendon quite a bit and then stores the energy in the tissue and then it’s given back to propel you forward in the world,” he said.

Sawicki said he and his colleague Steven Collins at Carnegie Mellon University designed a mechanical device, made of carbon fiber and metal, that performs the same sequence of energy give-and-take outside the body. The system takes over part of the work of walking, and reduces the amount of required energy by as much as seven percent.

Wearing the unpowered ankle exoskeleton can help people either walk farther with the same amount of energy, or restore the normal movement pattern for people who have trouble walking.

Sawicki said it takes only a few minutes to get used to the exoskeleton but the wearer quickly learns to tone down the muscle energy as the device takes over part of the load.

“You really don’t notice it until when you take it off. And when you take it off you realize that it was there and giving you the boost,” he said.

Sawicki added that the device is primarily intended for people recovering from surgery or a stroke. But all persons who spend a lot of time walking, such as police officers or hospital personnel, could benefit from it.

At the moment there are no plans to develop the ankle exoskeleton for the market, but the inventors say some manufacturers have expressed interest.

25．What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. How to reduce energy whiling walking.

B. Ways to make walking easy.

C. Introduction to a mechanical device to make walk easier

D. Guidelines for people recovering from surgery.

26．What is true according to the passage ?

A.The device can only benefit people with walking problems.

B. All people could benefit from it.

C. With the device, the walkers need seven percent as much as the energy otherwise.

D. The device can benefit people in the long term.

27．What does the underlined word ” propel” mean in paragraph 3?

A. put   B. keep    C.help   D. push

28．What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. The ankle exoskeleton will have a bright future.

B. The ankle exoskeleton hasn’t appeal to manufacturers.

C. The ankle exoskeleton will be launched in the market soon.

D. The ankle exoskeleton will never be produced.

A record warm December raised average temperatures enough to make 2015 the second hottest year on record in the contiguous United States, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Climate Monitoring Annual Report, which was released Thursday.

The United Nations had previously reported that 2015 was shaping up to be the warmest year on record for the whole planet. 

Last year was also the third wettest on record in the U.S. and saw ten weather- or climate-related disasters that each caused at least $1 billion in damage in the U.S.and killed a total of 155 people.These include a drought, two floods, five severe storms, a wildfire, and a winter storm.  

The average U.S. temperature was 54.4°F, 2.4°F above the 20^th century average, and second only to 2012’s record warmth.This was also the 19th consecutive year with average temperatures above the average for the century. Every state reported above-average annual temperatures. The warming was particularly pronounced across most of the eastern half of the country in December, when many places saw temperatures 30 degrees above normal and many records were set. 

This mirrored changes seen in the Arctic that month, when temperatures spiked to 50 degrees above normal. Part of this warming was driven by a strong El Niño, or periodic warming in the Pacific Ocean, but some of it can also be attributed to global warming, says meteorologist Eric Holthaus, who was not involved with the federal report. 

The analysis comes less than a month after the U.S. and 194 other countries signed an agreement in Paris to more aggressively counter the effects of climate change. 

“Even if all the initial targets in Paris are met, we’ll only be part of the way there when it comes to reducing carbon from the atmosphere,” said President Barack Obama at the time. Still, the agreement represented “a turning point” by setting up “the architecture" for doing so, he said. 

NOAA’s climate monitoring center doesn’t issue predictions for future weather, but the agency’s Climate Prediction Center does. That team’s forecast for the next three months calls for warmer-than-average temperatures in much of the country, although parts of Texas and the Southeast may be a little cooler than usual. 

As Lancaster University Professor Gail Whiteman told the Weather Channel, "climate change means extreme weather is the new normal." 

28. What’s the meaning of the underlined sentence “climate change means extreme weather is the new normal”?

A.Extreme weather will not normal due to the climate change.

B.Climate change will result in the unpredictable weather.

C.Climate change will be more and more common except for the extreme weather.

D.Extreme weather will be kind of tendency in the future.

29. Which of the following statement is true?

A.The target of reducing carbon is accomplished.

B.$1 billion loss was caused by the extreme weather.

C.In most areas of US, the temperatures will be warmer than average.

D.2015 was the first warmest and the third wettest on record in the country.

30. What can be inferred from the text?

A.The reducing of carbon still needs great efforts worldwide.

B.NOAA has nothing to do with the predictions for climate change.

C.The whole US will be warmer in the future due to the global warming.

D.The weather change in the western areas is more obvious than that in the east.

31. We can probably find the text in   __  ?

A. a government report       B. a science magazine

C. an advertisement          D. a newspaper

What will the home of the future look like? A team of architects in Hong Kong say that city homes will be tiny, as populations continue to grow and space becomes more expensive.

          They have designed “spaceflats” with just 30 square metres in size as the houses in the following years. These flats have several small rooms; a  living room, a bathroom and a bedroom, but everything is carefully planned to make good use of the limited space.

          The living room is the main room of the flat. It can be used as an office, a kitchen or even a second bedroom. There is a sofa that can be changed into a bed. The dining table can be changed into a computer desk. And, if not needed, both the sofa-bed and the table can be folded and put away. There is a flat-screen TV, which can also serve as a computer monitor. In one corner of the room, a small cooker, a microwave oven and a mini-refrigerator are hidden out of sight. The other rooms are small but practical. The bathroom contains a toilet and a shower. The double bed in the bedroom can also be transformed into a sofa, if required.

          “Spaceflats” are wonderful and they are now being tested in a building in Hong Kong. It is believed that “Spaceflats” will be improved to be our future homes.

1.What will be the title for the passage ?
