Throughout his career as one of the worlds most recognizable cosmic thinkers, he regularly threw himself into pop cultures comedic ring with cameos（客串）on programs such as The Simpsons and Late Night with Conan OBrien.These appearances defined Hawkings personal life as mush as his universe-sh

13、aking theoretical work. Humor, however, was not just one side of his personality, but a key to overcoming the disease he struggled against since 1963.“Keeping an active mind has been vital to my survival, as has maintaining a sense of humor,” Hawking said in a 2013 documentary. “I am probably better

14、 known for my appearances on The Simpsons and on The Big Bang Theory than I am for my scientific discoveries.”At 21, Hawking was diagnosed with a condition similar to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis（肌萎縮性側索硬化癥）, also known as Lou Gehrigs disease. According to the ALS Association, “Half of all people af

15、fected with ALS live at most three or more years after diagnosis. Twenty percent live five years or more; only ten percent will live more than ten years.”The disease would eventually shut down Hawkings motor functions, making him speechless and unable to move without a wheelchair. Doctors initially

21、in cities, parks are an important landscape. They provide a place for people to relax and play sports, as well as a shelter from the often severe environment of a city. What people often overlook is that parks also provide considerable environmental benefits.One benefit of parks is that plants absor

22、b carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. According to one study, an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide that a typical car emits in 11,000 miles of driving. Parks also make cities cooler. Scientists have long noted what is called the Urban Heat Island Effect: building materials s

23、uch as metal and concrete (混凝土) absorb much more of the suns heat and release it much more quickly than trees and grass. Because city landscapes contain so much of these building materials, cities are usually warmer than surrounding rural areas. Parks and other green spaces help to lessen the Urban

24、Heat Island Effect.Unfortunately, many cities cannot easily create more parks. However, cities could benefit from many of the positive effects of parks by encouraging citizens to create another type of green space: rooftop gardens. While most people would not think of starting a garden on their roof

25、, human beings have been planting gardens on rooftops for thousands of years. Some rooftop gardens are simple container gardens that anyone can create with the investment (投資) of a few hundred dollars and a few hours of work.Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban parks and

26、garden spaces, but without taking up the much-needed land. In the summer, rooftop gardens prevent buildings from absorbing heat from the sun, which can significantly reduce cooling bills. In the winter, gardens help control the heat that materials like brick and concrete release so quickly, leading

27、to savings on heating bills. Rooftop vegetables and herb gardens can also provide fresh food for city settlers, making their diets healthier. Rooftop gardens are not only something everyone can enjoy but also a smart environmental investment.1、The underlined word “emits” in the second paragraph prob

DMore building materials.3、When it comes to rooftop gardens, what can be inferred from the passage?AThey ma

38、p them come up with more creative ideas, according to new research.“Our findings show that children naturally gesture when they think of unusual ways to use everyday items, ”says psychological scientist Elizabeth Kirk. “When we then asked children to move their hands, they were able to come up with

39、even more creative ideas. ”“Gesturing may allow us to explore the properties（特性）of the items for example, how the item could be held, its size, its shape, etc. and doing so can help us come up with ideas for creative uses, ” Kirk explains.In their first study， the researchers compared the creativity

40、 of children who spontaneously (自發地）gestured with those who either did not or could not gesture.A total of 78 children, aged 9-11, saw a series of images of ordinary items, such as a newspaper, a tin can, and a kettle. The researchers asked the children to look at each image and list as many uses as

41、 they could think of. A group of participants completed the task twice on one version of the task, they wore mittens（連指手套）that limited their ability to gesture.Restricting childrens ability to gesture did not affect their ability to come up with creative uses for the objects; Children who were free

42、to gesture produced about the same number of ideas as those who wore the mittens and could not gesture.In a second experiment, 54 children completed the same alternative-uses task. In some cases, children gestured normally; in other cases, the researchers encouraged the children to“use your hands to

43、 show me how you could use the object in different ways”.The encouragement worked: Children who were specifically encouraged to gesture produced a greater number of creative uses for the objects than did the children who were not given any special instruction.“Our findings add to the growing body of

44、 evidence showing the significant role of gesture in thinking and have applications to the classroom,” Kirk concluded in their paper.1、What did the researchers intend to find out in the first experiment?AThe number of creative ideas the children could think of.BHow the children would explore the pro

45、perties of the items.CWhether encouraging gesture would help to produce more new ideas.DThe difference between thinking with gestures and without gestures.2、Why were mittens used in the experiment?ATo restrict gestures.BTo limit creative thinking.CTo test the ability to gesture,DTo increase creative

46、 ideas.3、When did the children think of the most new ideas?AWhen wearing mittens.BWhen encouraged to gesture.CWhen naturally gesturing.DWhen not using their hands.4、What would be the best title for the text?ACommunicate with GesturesBThink with Your HandsCUse Everyday Items CreativelyDMake Gestures
