    Some people wonder why countries spend millions of dollars on space projects. They want to know how space research helps people on Earth. Actually, space technology helps people on Earth every day. This is called "spinoff technology". Spinoff technology is space technology that is now used on Earth.

    In early space programs, such as the Apollo missions(任务) of the 1960s and 1970s, and in the space shuttle missions today, scientists developed objects for the astronauts to use on the moon and in space. We now use some of these objects every day. For example, we have Quartz clocks and watches with an accuracy of one minute a year. We purify the water we drink with a water filter(过滤器) designed for the astronauts' use in space. The cordless, hand-held tools we use in our homes, such as cleaners, flashlights, drills, and irons came from the technology of these early space programs.

    On cold winter days, we can stay warm with battery - operated shoes and socks, and insulated(绝缘的) coats and jackets. All of these clothes are similar to the spacesuit designs that keep astronauts comfortable in the temperatures of the moon, and are spinoffs from space technology.

    These products are only a few examples of the many ways space technology helps us in our everyday life. No one knows how new spinoff technology from the International Space Station will help us in the future.

(1)、Which of the following is NOT a spinoff?
A、Water filters B、Quartz watches C、Battery- operated socks D、Spacesuits worn by astronauts
(2)、The underlined part "purify the water" probably means "make the water                 ".
A、light B、clean C、bright D、warm
(3)、Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A、Future of Space Technology B、History of Spinoffs C、Spinoff Technology D、Space Projects
(4)、From the passage, we can infer(推断) that the writer                 .
A、believes that space technology will be widely used on Earth B、doubts if spinoffs have any good effect on human beings C、agrees to do more research on spinoff technology D、suggests using more spinoffs in our daily life

Kunqu Opera (昆曲), also called Kunqiang or Kunju, is one of the oldest operas in China. It has a long history of over 600 years and people call it the Mother of Chinese Operas. 

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Gu Jian, an artist in Kunshan near Suzhou, worked together with other artists and they first created (创作) Kunshan qiang. Then in the Ming Dynasty, Wei Liangfu, a great opera artist, changed it and a new kind of opera, Kunqu Opera, came into being (形成). After that, his student Liang Chenyu made more changes to Kunqu Opera and made the first Kunqu play in Chinese history—Huanshaji. Later, more and more artists started to write plays. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, Kunqu Opera was quite popular in China. It was the No. 1 opera until Beijing Opera took its place because Beijing Opera was easier to learn. 

Kunqu Opera has lots of excellent plays from the old times. Many of them are still popular today, such as The Peony Pavilion by Tang Xianzu, The Kite by Li Yu, The Peach Blossom Fan by Kong Shangren and The Palace of Eternal Youth by Hong Sheng. The Peony Pavilion is the very best of all Kunq u Opera plays. It tells the love story between Liu Mengmei and Du Liniang around a number of dreams.

Because of the hard work by opera artists and the help from our country, Kunqu Opera is coming back to life. 

 请阅读下面短文,根据短文内容从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

16-year-old Yang Jun'ao, a student from No. 1 Middle School in Nanxian County, Hunan province, invented a robot to help harvest lotus roots(采藕). 

"I got the idea when I saw my grandmother, in her 70s, working hard to harvest lotus roots under the hot sun, " Yang said. Sometimes, his grandmother would badly hurt her fingers while using harvesting tools. 

To make things easier for his grandmother, he decided to invent a robot that could do the job for her. 

With the help of his teacher, Hong Wei, Yang spent almost a year building a model of the robot. The robot can move by itself in the muddy(泥泞的) fields where lotus roots grow. It uses special technology to identify ripe roots by looking at the color of the lotus leaves. Then, its arm carefully cuts the roots without harming them. 

While creating the robot, Yang faced challenges like collecting parts for the model, putting them together and using a hot glue gun for connecting. "The first time I used a hot glue gun, my hands were shaking, " Yang laughed. At first, he planned to use rotating blades(旋转叶片) for harvesting lotus roots. But it was hard to find them, so he used more common blades instead. 

When Yang showed the robot to his grandmother, she was happy and gave helpful suggestions for improvement. She suggested using a voice player to help locate the robot in thick lotus leaves. "My grandmother's suggestion reminded me that any invention must be practical to be truly valuable. " said Yang. 

Although Yang still needs to make improvements, like finding cheaper materials, his teacher Hong spoke highly of Yang's creative thinking and resolution to help his hometown.
