【題目】Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January,1942. He was a world-famous British physicist. He also wrote a children’s book with his daughter. He said the book would be “a bit like Harry Potter” but without the magic and explain the wonders of the universe.

He was probably the world’s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein. He was an expert on black holes. He had put his whole life into digging into the beginning (and the end) of the universe. “My goal is simple,” he once said. “It is to completely understand the universe, why it is as it is and why it is there at all.”

He had a bad illness that kept him from moving or talking. For a period of time, he had no way to communicate except by blinking(眨眼).

He often sat on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate with others, he moved two fingers to control the computer’s mouse. He selected his words from the screen, which were then spoken by a voice synthesizer(合成器).

“I have had the disease for most of my life,” he once said. “Yet it has not stopped me from being successful at my work.”

Although he was such a disabled man, he made great achievements. He had received many awards for his work over the years. These include winning the Albert Einstein Award.

【題目】 Have you ever heard of ＂a ball of energy＂? People often use it to describe very active children. But today we tell about an invention called the soccket, that is a real soccer ball of energy. Julia Silverman explains that in fact the soccket is a portable generator(便攜式發(fā)電機).

Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews developed the soccket as part of a group project for an engineering class at Harvard University.

There are mechanisms(裝置) in a soccket. When you kick, hit or throw it, energy is then kept in it by these mechanisms instead of disappearing into the environment.

Then the user can put something directly into the ball, like a lamp, or a mobile phone charger so that they can get energy from it.

For every fifteen minutes of the game play, the soccket can provide enough electricity(電) for an LED lamp for three hours, and the ball can store(儲藏) up to 24 hours’ electricity.

The International Energy Association reported last year that nearly one and a half billion people in the world had no electricity to use, and most of them live in sub-Saharan Africa and in India and other countries in Asia.

Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews both had experiences in developing countries before they began the project. They knew that power shortages are a serious problem in really areas.

There’s an energy crisis in the world. One out of every five people in the world don’t have any electricity. And besides that, there are a lot of health problems because what people use instead of the electricity are harmful choices like kerosene(煤油) lamps, which produce a lot of smoke.

Julia Silverman says the soccket ball is one small solution(解決方法) to a big problem.

Jessica Matthews and Julia Silverman hope their soccket ball will shine more light on the problem of power shortages. It offers people a chance to put their energy into the world’s most popular sport and get some energy in return.

【1】From the passage, we know the soccket is ________.

A. an active childB. an inventionC. a lampD. a mobile phone

【2】If you play the soccket for half an hour, it can provide an LED lamp with electricity for ________.

A. fifteen minutesB. half an hourC. six hoursD. three hours

【3】The underlined word ＂crisis＂ in the passage means ________.

A. a time of safetyB. a time of difficultyC. a time of successD. a time of pride

【4】We can infer(推斷) from the passage that ________.

A. Julia Silverman has never been to developing countries before

B. Active children like to play soccket

C. kicking a soccket can let the energy disappear into the environment

D. people are expected to get some energy by playing soccket

【5】The best title for the passage should be ＂________＂.

A. The only way to produce electricityB. The best way to solve energy crisis

C. A soccer ball that gives energyD. An invention changing the world
