2．NASA （美國宇航局） has a new job listing，and it's no joke.The US space agency is looking for a "joker" to join their planned mission （任務(wù)）to Mars.
A mission to Mars is no laughing matter.The red planet is about 140 million miles （225，million kilometers） away from Earth.A trip there would take around eight months in a small spacecraft.And Mars has a communications delay （延遲） of 20 minutes.This means that astronauts will have to wait 20 minutes for a reply，when a sudden serious event happens.
"When you're living with others in a confined space for a long period of time，such as on a mission to Mars，problems are likely to happen，" Jeffrey Johnson，a scientist at the University Florida，told The Guardian.
This is probably why NASA wants an astronaut with a sense of humor. "These are people that have the ability to pull everyone together，" Johnson said.
In stressful situations，perhaps humor is a way to know we aren't alone.By laughing together，" we share our stress.Then we can focus on our jobs instead of just worrying.
There are other examples of team "clowns（詼諧的人）".One example is the journey to South Pole led by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen.It was a difficult journey，full of danger.Adolf Lindstrom，a cook at Amundsen's teem was a "clown".He made people laugh through the whole journey.Amundsen later wrote that Lindstrom was the most valuable member of the team.
But if you're hoping chat your favorite TV comedian will fly to Mars，that probably won't happen.
"Being funny won't be enough to get the job，" Johnson said. "They also need to be an excellent scientist and engineer."
Besides，they must be in top physical condition.
（1）What is NASA's new job listing？
A．A funny scientist.
B．A great clown.
C．An excellent cook.
D．A popular comedian.
（2）What does the underlined word "confined" probably mean？
A．Crowded.
B．Open.
C．Small.
D．Empty.
（3）How does Johnson think humor can help astronauts？
A．It can help them feel less homesick.
B．It can help them know themselves better.
C．It can stop them from feeling worried.
D．It can encourage teamwork on a mission.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5 -
3．There are many ways to travel within a city.We can walk，cycle，or take a bus.But no matter which way we travel，we have to stick to the route（線路） the city planners laid down for us.
Parkour practitioners（跑酷愛好者），however，see the city in a completely different way.To them，there are no fixed routes.There are no walls and no stairs—since they jump，climb，roll and crawl to move across，through，over and under anything that they find in their path.The city is their playground.
The International Gymnastics Federation（FIG）has noticed that this activity is drawing more and more people to it—there are 100，000 people taking part in parkour today in the UK alone，according to the Guardian—and how it is helpful for people to be much stronger：It trains coordination（協(xié)調(diào)性）and balance.So the organization is thinking about recognizing parkour as a new sport and adding it to the Olympics by 2024.
But parkour practitioners themselves don't seem to be happy with the idea.They see parkour as "a lifestyle"，wrote the website NextSportStar. "It's a competition against the conditions rather than just a sport."
Indeed，many do parkour just to "escape the daily routine（事務(wù)）and experience the city in different ways"，wrote reporter Oli Mould on The Conversation.They see parkour as a way to express themselves through relaxing moves and creative routes while freeing themselves from the pressure.
It's great that the FIG wants to develop new sport and stay close to a new cultural form.But it would be greater if they knew that not everything in life is a competition.
（1）How do the parkour practitioners do parkour？
A．They move on as they wish.
B．They choose the routes the city planners laid down.
C．They run faster than others.
D．They stick to certain routes.
（2）Why does the FIG want to add parkour to the Olympics？
A．It's a special way of life.
B．It draws their attention.
C．It's good for people to keep healthy.
D．It needs some rules and instructions.
（3）What is the author's idea on parkour？
A．It is more formal than other sports.
B．It helps people to be creative.
C．It's worth adding to the sporting event.
D．It calls on people to work as a team.
（4）What is the best title for the passage？
A．A new sports competition
B．Parkour practitioners
C．Training in a different way
D．Making the city their own組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5

4．Is Society Too Dependent On Technology？ Just think，what would happen if your computer，iPad or laptop crashed today？What if someone took away your phone for some days or perhaps you lost it？（1）
Today，most people are becoming dependent on technology.
Most of us cannot go for a minute without looking at our phones and the fear of the battery dying is immense.If you happen to work in offices you may be familiar with this trend.（2）Anyway，it's true.How can work continue if it's hard to send an email to a colleague or customer？This is common in almost all offices.
Kids used to spend a lot of time with each other or parents playing or just sharing stories.Those evening games after school are over；watching cartoons on a Sunday or playing with friends are no longer there.（3）Technology has taken all their time.
Society may have gone too far in technology dependence.It has become so immense that doctors have recommended for "technology detox".（4）If not，according to Oxford Dictionary，Technology Detox is a period during which an individual avoids using any electronic devices including computers，smart phones，etc.，as a chance to reduce stress and focus on social interaction in the outside world.
Well，the choice remains in our hands.We must agree that society is being carried away by the increased inventions being introduced in our lives today.（5）Meanwhile，we should have the discipline to turn it off when we are supposed to experience life in reality.
A.Perhaps you may have heard of it.
B.We appreciate technology since it has its benefits.
C.If the Internet is down，all the tasks are over for the day.
D.Technology addiction has become a major problem among teenagers.
E.If thinking about these incidences makes you stressed，you are not alone.
F.Here are some signs that our generation depends too much on technology.
G.Today，most kids remain indoors playing computer games or with a smart phone.組卷：2引用：1難度：0.5
