People have dinner parties in my nests. T
2、hey read and relax in them. Some of my nests even have several rooms. My nests are even used as hotel rooms.SA:How do you make a nest?JF: First, I make a design for the nest. Then I review the design with my client (客户). After the design is final, I collect wood and work with a team to build it.SA:W
3、hat do you use to make your nests?JF:I use eucalyptus (桉树) wood, which is soft and easy to bend when it is young and freshly cut. But when it dries, it becomes extremely hard. So it holds its shape and can support weight. But the structures strength also comes from the engineering how I weave (编织) t
4、he wood, and how I join major sections by bolting (用螺栓固定) them together.SA:What makes a great nest design?JF:Placement is important. The lines of the branches (树枝) create movement and energy, resulting in a cleaner, simpler background such as smooth stone or the sky which really fits the nest. For m
5、e, its all about balance.SA:What skills do you need for your job?JF: You have to be able to draw and use different artistic tools. But you also have to know how to speak to people your clients and the people who work for you.SA:What inspires you?JF: I love to see how other artists, like Andy Goldswo
6、rthy, take common and natural materials and make something special with them.SA:What is the best part of your job?JF: I get to be creative in a way that doesnt harm the environment!21. Jayson Fanns nests are _.A. used for different purposesB. completely made of woodC. usually built at his homeD. jus
7、t used for exhibition22. When Jayson Fann makes a nest, he usually _.A. builds it on his ownB. places it on a eucalyptus treeC. asks his client to design it firstD. takes its surroundings into consideration23. Jayson Fann is actually _.A. an animal loverB. a fashion designerC. a famous engineerD. an
8、 environmental artistB Brian Greene, a professor of physics and mathematics atColumbiaUniversity, has created an online science education platform. He tries to “build a bridge” with things you know about, and then “bring you across that bridge to the strange place of modern physics.” Recently I had
9、a chance to ask Greene about wormholes (a hole which some scientists think might exist, connecting parts of space and time that are not usually connected), time travel and other mysteries of the universe. I asked him a million-dollar question: What if I went through a wormhole and prevented my paren
10、ts from meeting? “Most of us believe that the universe makes sense,” Greene said. Although there are several interesting theories about time travel, he added, the laws of physics would probably prevent something so illogical (不合乎常理的) from taking place. The good news is that the time paradox (悖论) is
11、open for future physicists to solve. When asked how physics could become more exciting for kids, Greene said that books by Stephen Weinberg, Leonard Susskind, and other physicists, “make it a great time for people who want to learn about big ideas but arent yet ready, perhaps, to learn math.” When I
12、 pointed out that some students still might find physics boring, Greene said that the key is to teach them about things that are strange. “The basic stuff is important,” Greene said. “But I think its really important to also describe the more modern ideas, things like black holes and the Big Bang. I
13、f kids have those ideas in mind, then at least some of them will be excited to learn all the details.” Greene has followed Albert Einsteins lead in trying to solve the mysteries of the universe. Now he wants kids to do the same. As Greene said, physics is “not just a matter of solving problems in an
14、 exam.” Its about experimenting, showing an interest in strange phenomena (现象) and having fun!24. A million-dollar question is probably very _.A. direct B. difficult C. personal D. long25. The books by Weinberg and Susskind _.A. are boring to readB. are mainly about mathC. are popular science booksD
15、. are only popular among kids26. According to Paragraph 4, which of the following does Greene agree with?A. Modern physics is a boring subject.B. Interest plays an important role in studying.C. It is not necessary to learn all about physics.D. It is easy to describe black holes and the Big Bang.27.
16、In the last paragraph, Greene hopes that _.A. kids can love science and physicsB. kids can do well in physics examsC. kids can have fun with experimentsD. kids can find more strange things in lifeC As an oceanographer (海洋学家), Ive spent many years developing robots to explore the ocean, and now were
17、putting that technology to use in our JASON Project, a program thats designed to inspire students and get them interested in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. In theaters throughout the country, we bring kids together and send back to them on large screens our live explorations of la
18、rge areas of the globe. Not only are the kids observers, but they can operate robots moving across the area while broadcasting images back to them. The kids have the sensation (感受) of really being at the site with us. I believe advances in robot technology will one day be the key to a new kind of tr
19、avel. In the next 10 or 15 years, people will have rooms in their houses that will be able to simulate (模拟) other environments. I like to call these rooms “home domes” small theaters with screens and advanced equipment that can reproduce the sights, sounds, smells, and feel of a desert, or a forest.
20、 Hand in hand with these rooms, I can see a market for travel robots located in countries around the world. You could rent a robot working in a rain forest, then go into your home dome, where you yourself operate the robots movements. The equipment in the room will receive the sensations in the robo
21、ts environment and simulate them for you. Today, much of the worlds population never travels more than 50 or 60 miles from home. And even a person with enough time can see only a part of the earths sights. But this new way of travel will cost so much less in both time and money and allow people to s
22、ee a lot more of the globe. And simulated travel will also help protect our planet. You cant take large groups of tourists to look at Dian Fosseys gorillas (大猩猩). But a small robot, with no animal smell, can get very close to a gorilla and send the sights, sounds, and smells back to a million people
23、.28. The main purpose of the JASON Project is to _.A. design robotsB. educate childrenC. explore the worldD. improve technology29. Without going outside, people in “home domes” can _.A. enjoy a guided tripB. get very close to natureC. develop and operate robotsD. send images back to scientists30. Wh
24、ats the authors attitude towards the future of robot technology?A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful.C. Hopeful. D. Dissatisfied.31. According to the text, simulated travel _.A. has been widely acceptedB. costs lots of time and moneyC. is harmful to the environmentD. is time- and money-savingD In a new move, do
25、ctors are using feature films in order to encourage their patients to talk more freely about their problems. Supporters of “film therapy (疗法)” say that discussing characters and plot lines from a proper film can help people to understand their feelings better. One of those using the method is Bernie
26、 Wooder, a doctor from Elstree, who charges 45 for a one-hour “film therapy” session. He said, “I was treating a woman who had been badly let down in a relationship, and who was experiencing such strong feelings that it was difficult for her to speak about them. I told her that her situation reminde
27、d me ofOn the Waterfront, when Marlon Brandos character realizes his brother is dishonest and he feels a great sense of betrayal (背叛). My patient identified so easily with him that she started to cry. Watching and discussing the film unlocked all the feelings she had buried. Each time she watched an
28、d cried, she felt better.” Mr Wooder admits that film therapy does not work for everyone, but says he has used it successfully with about a third of his clients. “Through the films characters, plots and even music, it allows people to face their problems.” He said thatFalling Down, in which Michael
29、Douglas plays the part of an unemployed man who is so frustrated (沮丧的) that he uses violence, was an example of the dangerous implications (后果) of not letting anger go. “I used this film with a patient who was very upset because he was holding on to a lot of the anger he felt towards people who had
30、frustrated him,” said Mr Wooder. “We talked about Michael Douglass character and the disastrous path he takes, and my patient then realized that he needed to let go of his feelings more regularly so as not to erupt like a time bomb.”32. What can we learn about Bernie Wooder?A. He used to be an actor
31、.B. He likes to review different films.C. He is good at sharing his feelings.D. He is in support of “film therapy”.33. Why did the patient cry when she watchedOn the Waterfront?A. She missed her brother.B. She was moved by the film.C. She realized she had been cheated.D. She thought of her sufferings.34. After discussingFalling Downwith Mr Wooder, the patient decided to _.A. let go of his angerB. stop his acts of violenceC. forget those who hurt himD. learn from Michael Douglas35. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Film stars have problems too.B. Films can help unlock fe
