At just 18 years old, Canberra student Lochie Ferrier has already conducted research in a frontier field — aerospace engineering. Aerospace engineering is the primary        of engineering concerned with the science and technology of aircraft and spacecraft.
In 2014, he was one of 80 high school students worldwide who       a six-week science and engineering program at MIT. During the program, he was       by the institute’s scientists, and developed a method to identify inactive satellites. This method, called OASIS, is designed        a way to help manage space debris(碎片), which         operating satellites.
“One solution to this problem is a         robot that can gather pieces of space debris and store them in orbit,” he says. “These pieces could be        to new satellites later, thus       the costs and launch weights of new satellites.” However,       satellite identification technology would be needed for this solution, and that’s what Lochie is working on. “I hope this method would be put into practice in the near future,     in the next 10 years,” he says.
Lochie has made the      of the Young Innovators category of the Australian Innovation Challenge Awards with his OASIS. This category is open to students aged 21 years or      and carries a $ 5,000 prize. If he won, he would use the money to help fund         research into OASIS. “My plan for using the money would be to try to use materials which could stand up to the      environment of space,” he says.
He is also considering how to      the technology to organizations such as NASA and satellite manufacturers.
Lochie’s        in aerospace engineering was aroused by the big dish antenna(碟形天线)at NASA’s tracking station near Canberra,which he visited in his early teens. He said his software design and development teacher at Canberra Grammar School      him, too.  “He taught me valuable project management and skills which I applied to OASIS.”
Lochie has been attending Canberra Grammar School and will soon       exams for admission to universities. He      his time between schoolwork, his personal        projects such as OASIS and the development of apps, rock climbing, and playing classical violin. The teenager is well on his way to realizing his sky-high ambition.

At Japan’s Studio Ghibli, which has produced extraordinary animated films(动画片)since 1985, the best-known figure has always been one of the company’s founders, Hayao Miyazaki.
But an equally key figure is co-founder Isao Takahata, who has recently made a new feature, The Tale of Princess Kagnya. It is an unforgettable feature with an unusual hand-drawn aesthetic(美感).
The title character is a tiny baby girl who appears in a bamboo plant. She is found by a woodcutter, who takes her home and brings her up. He believes the little girl is a princess, and sets about preparing what he regards as a suitable world for her.
This original story is the oldest work of fiction in Japan; every child knows it in its simplified folktale form.
“It is a fascinating story with elements of wonder, humour, and sorrow,’’ Takahata says, “but these three elements are scattered(分散)about.” The chief challenge for anyone trying to adapt it is that “we are completely unable to comprehend what was in the heart of Princess Kaguya. Because of this, despite its being well known, few people consider it interesting. There have been several attempts at making a film out of the story, but they ended up being abandoned.”
He was connected with one of these attempts, but no one paid any attention to his concept.
“Fifty-five years later, I thought my concept was still appealing, and used it as a basis for turning the story into a feature film.”
His concept involves the princess’s origins, her expectations and her access to “the full range of human emotions”.
To realize his vision, Takahata says, “I needed to take the extremely individualistic brushwork and key designs of Osamu Tanabe and Kazuo Oga, two brilliantly talented artists, and have them permeate(扩散)throughout the film. The two of them drew many pictures, but they weren’t nearly enough. The most challenging part was to have all the other animation staff copy their styles in a free and easy way.”
The Tale of Princess Kaguya has been released, and people are saying that the two founders, now in their seventies, have directed their final films. But is it as clear-cut as that? When I ask Takahata about a scene of escape and urgency with a particularly distinctive (独特的) visual style, he says he had intended to use “this type of rough-drawn, forceful animation, in a project before this film.
“That project hasn’t been realized yet, but if it comes to pass, this style is essential.”
A hint, perhaps, there's still more to come.
Which of the following choices has got the right match?

①Hayao Miyazaki
a. one of the founders of Studio Ghibli
② Isao Takahata
b. fictional character
③ Kazuo Oga
c. famous artist
④ Princess Kaguya
d. animation staff member of The Tale of Princess Kaguya

A.① d         B. ② a       C.③ b          D.④ c
Why is it challenging to adapt the original story to a feature film according to the passage?

A.Because people are in the dark about the feelings of Princess Kaguya.
B.Because the story itself offers a combination of wonder, humour and sorrow.
C.Because the story is too old to appeal to the audience nowadays.
D.Because every Japanese has been familiar with the story ever since childhood

From the Takahata version of The Tale of Princess Kaguya, we can expect the following except ________.

A.more details about the Princess’s origins and expectations
B.a forceful animation type featuring fine images and gentle brushwork
C.the distinctive brushwork and key designs from two gifted artists
D.a hand-drawn visual effect that brings out a unique sense of beauty

International teams have spent nearly half a year looking for evidence of the missing Malaysian Airlines plane, a search that includes the hunt for the aircraft’s so-called black box, which holds flight data that would likely explain what caused MH370 to move away from its course. But many aviation experts wonder why, in our increasingly networked world, divers are searching the Indian Ocean for a metal box when technology already exists that would enable planes to stream black box data to the ground in the event of an emergency.
Black boxes have been on planes since the late 1950s, and now every commercial aircraft has two: a flight data recorder and a voice recorder. (Although they are referred to as black boxes, they are typically orange in color, making them easier to spot in waters.) Black box recorders are mainly used to investigate the cause of in-flight accidents.
While black boxes are built to survive a crash and long-term submersion(浸没)in water, it can be a real challenge to find the device if a plane has gone down in the ocean. While each box contains a beacon(无线电信标台), the unit only has enough battery power to transmit a signal for 30 days. After the crash of Air France Flight 447 in the Atlantic Ocean in June 2009, it took divers two years to find the black box.
Pierre Jeanniot, a Canadian engineer who helped perfect black box technology about 40 years ago, feels that the device, in its current form, is “obsolete”. He started to question its effectiveness more than a decade ago, after seeing the broken pieces of the black boxes in the 2001 attacks on the World Trade towers in New York. Jeanniot is now on the advisory board of a Toronto-based firm that has built a live-streamed black box system. When a plane experiences an irregular event, the system can send streaming data off the aircraft to one of the satellites and then down to ground-based servers, where the message is interpreted and sent to the airline. It seems necessary that the loss of MH370 and other similar cases wake more people up to the fact that the tools being used at this stage are inadequate for dealing with emergency situations, Jeanniot says. He also estimates that if this technology had been on board the missing Malaysian Airlines flight and live-streaming for the estimated seven hours after the flight first experienced a problem, it would have cost about $3,000.
While there is widespread approval of a live-streamed black box system, most airlines see its cost prohibitive. The airline industry is an industry with small profits, and is reluctant to add costs that will further cut the bottom line.
However, given how much time, money and effort has been spent on the luckless search for MH370, s black box, the cost of operating a live-streaming version seems like a trifle(区区小数)
In this passage, the underlined word “obsolete” probably means .

A.out of date B.out of use
C.on the move D.on the increase

Which fact is mentioned to support aviation experts’ doubt about the effectiveness of the black box?

A.MH370’s black box holds flight data that might explain what happened to the aircraft.
B.The recorders are actually orange in color though referred to as black boxes.
C.The beacon in the black box has limited battery power to send out a signal for 30 days.
D.It’s necessary for people to wake up to the weaknesses of the black box

What’s airlines’ attitude towards the live-streamed black box system?

A.They approve of the system since it may save time, money and effort.
B.They consider using the system as the bottom line of costs.
C.They are reluctant to start the system because it still needs improving.
D.They are unwilling to equip planes with the system as it cuts their profits.

From the passage, we can learn that__________.

A.it takes divers one or two years to find the black box after a crash
B.the new system does not live stream black box data for the whole flight
C.Jeanniot changed his view on black box technology when working for a Canadian firm
D.operating a live-streamed black box system costs only three thousand dollars

Is gun play good or bad for children? For many years I emphasized its harmlessness. When concerned parents expressed doubt about letting their children have toy guns, because they didn’t want to encourage them in the slightest degree to become criminals, I would explain how little connection there was. In the course of growing up, children have a natural tendency to bring their aggressiveness more and more under control if their parents encourage this. One- to two-year-olds, when they are angry with another child, may bite the child’s arm without hesitation. But by 3 or 4 they have already learned that aggression is not right. However, they may pretend to shoot their mother or father, but smiling to assure them that the gun and the aggressive behaviour aren’t to be taken seriously.
In the 6- to 12-year-old period, children will play an earnest game of war, but it has lots of rules. There may be arguments, but real fights are relatively rare. At this age children don’t shoot at their mother or father, even in fun. It’s not that the parents have turned stricter; the children’s own conscience has. In adolescence aggressive feelings become much stronger, but well brought-up children can turn them into athletics and other competition or into kidding their friends.
In other words, I’d explain that playing at war is a natural step in the disciplining of the aggression of young children; that a cautious parent doesn’t really need to worry about producing a criminal.
But nowadays I’d give parents much more encouragement to guide their child away from violence. A number of incidents have convinced me of the importance of this.
One of the first things that made me change my mind, several years ago, was an observation that an experienced nursery school teacher told me about. Her children were hitting each other much more than previously, without reason. When she talked to them, they would protest, “But that’s what the Three Stooges do.” (This was a children’s TV program full of violence which immediately became very popular.)
What further shocked me into reconsidering my view was the assassination(暗杀)of the former President, and the fact that some schoolchildren cheered about this. (I didn’t so much blame the children as I blamed the kind of parents who will say about a President they dislike, “I’d shoot him if I got the chance!”)
These incidents made me think of other evidences that Americans often tolerate lawlessness and violence. We were hard on the Indians and the later waves of immigrants. At times we denied justice to groups with different religions or political views. And now a great percentage of our adult as well as our child population has been endlessly fascinated with dramas of Western violence and with cruel crime stories, in movies and on television. This doesn’t necessarily mean that we Americans on the average have more aggressiveness inside us than the people of other nations. I think rather that the aggressiveness we have is less controlled, from childhood on.
To me it seems very clear that in order to have a more stable and civilized national life we must bring up the next generation of Americans with a greater respect for law and for other people’s rights than in the past. There are many ways in which we could and should teach these attitudes. One simple opportunity we could seize in the first half of childhood is to show our disapproval of lawlessness and violence in television programs and in children’s gun play.
I also believe that the survival of the world now depends on a much greater awareness of the need to avoid war and to actively seek peaceful agreements. There are enough nuclear arms to completely destroy all civilization. This terrifying situation demands a much greater stability and self-control on the part of national leaders and citizens than they have ever shown in the past. We owe it to our children to prepare them deliberately for this awesome responsibility.
The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refers to______.

A.controlling their aggressiveness
B.playing with toy guns
C.aggressive behavior
D.the course of growing up

Based on the author’s view about the relationship between children’s aggressiveness and their age, which of the following is true?

A.A 2-year old boy knows that it is not correct to behave aggressively.
B.The older children become, the less aggressive they will be.
C.6- to 12-year-olds enjoy war games but develop them into argument and serious fights.
D.Adolescents’ aggressiveness is often displayed in the form of competition.

What conclusion does the author intend to draw from the story told by the nursery school teacher?

A.Watching violence can lower a child’s standard of behaviour.
B.Violent TV programs should be banned in nursery schools.
C.Children are generally lawless or violent nowadays. I
D.It is acceptable to let children have toy guns

What does Paragraph 7 mainly talk about?

A.Examples showing that Americans are more aggressive than other nations.
B.Evidences proving that America has a long history of lawlessness and violence.
C.The idea that children are less able to put their aggressiveness under control.
D.More reasons why the author changed his view on the main issue of the article.

What is a must if people intend to enjoy stability and civilized national life?

A.To show disapproval of gun play in television programs.
B.To make people aware that there are already enough nuclear arms.
C.To elect national leaders with greater stability and self-control.
D.To bring up children who show more respect for the law and others’ rights.

Which of the following serves best as the title of the article?

A.How Does Age Influence Aggressiveness?
B.Are American Children Becoming More Aggressive?
C.Should Children Play With Guns?
D.What Should Parents Teach Their Children

“I invented a new word. How do I get it into the dictionary?”
This is, by far, the question lexicographers(词典编纂者)hear the most. People invent new words all the time, but which ones actually make it into the dictionary? When lexicographers decide what words to add to dictionaries, they try to imagine what words users actually want to look up. There are important factors to keep in mind here.
1)Is the word in widespread usage?
The usage question is an important one that gets at the heart of how dictionaries are written. When modem lexicographers try to add words to dictionaries, they tend to approach their work from the angle of descriptivism — that is, they observe how the language is being used, see if it, s a common phenomenon, and then write definitions based on their research.
2)Does the word have staying power?
Widespread usage does not, however, guarantee a word a shiny new definition in a dictionary. Is the word going to stay around for a while, or is it just a passing fad? Is it likely to be in use in 5, 10, 20, or even 100 years? These are important questions to ask because there are far more updates and new words to be added to dictionaries than lexicographers have time to write.
3)Are you famous? Do you have influence?
If you’re famous, that could definitely up your chances of getting a word into a dictionary. Are you a writer? That could help. Take, for example, William Shakespeare, who invented (or at least popularized) hundreds of words and phrases commonly used today. Politicians also make their contributions. Abraham Lincoln invented the word neologize, and Winston Churchill has the first citation(引语)in the OED for many words, including fluffily and fly-in. So if you’re a person with influence and a following, the words you use can spread into common usage, which, as discussed above, is very important when it comes to gaining dictionary-entry.
4)Does the word fill a gap in the language?
If you’re not famous, there are other ways. Maybe you’re a scientist introducing new concepts to the public. Take, for example, the Higgs Boson particle(粒子), named after physicist Peter W. Higgs. But you don’t have to be a scientist to get your word a dictionary entry. Just look at Dominique Ansel, the pastry chef (糕点师) who captured the stomachs of New Yorkers with his dessert, the cronat. His invention even inspired copycats in the form of doissants and daffins.
Apart from these, it does sometimes help if the word is fun to say. The term blog is relatively new, which arose in 1999 when Peter Merholz made a light-hearted comment on the sidebar of his “weblog” telling his readers “I’ve decided to pronounce the word ‘weblog’ as wee’-blog. Or ‘blog’ for short.” And there’s also Dr. Seuss, who invented the term nerd.
So, why do some words make it into dictionaries while others don’t? With the knowledge discussed above in hand, the answer is more than obvious. Go forth! Use language creatively! Lexicographers are listening!

Title: How does a word gain into the dictionary?
Reasons
Details
Examples
Being used
With the approach of descriptivism, modem lexicographers will observe how commonly a word is used and it according to their research.
 
Having staying power
The a word remains in use, the more likely it is to be put into the dictionary.
 
Being invented by famous people
Chances of dictionary entry also if the new word is invented by people of importance and influence.
hundreds of words and phrases invented by literary figures and .
a gap in the language
If a word introduces new scientific concepts, or new inventions, it will probably get into the dictionary.
the Higgs Boson particle; cromit, doissants, duffins
the Higgs Boson particle; cromit, doissants,duffins
Being fun to say
Some words make it into dictionaries because they carry a of fun when you use them.
