根据短文内容的理解,选择正确答案。   

    Why do plants grow in some places and not in the others? Why does some land have so much growing on it, while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all?

    To grow, plants need several things. One is warmth. In very cold places almost nothing grows. Plants also need water. In very dry parts of the Earth only a few unusual plants can grow. That's why dry deserts everywhere are almost not covered by trees or grass.

    Plants must also have a place in which to put down their roots and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is built on hard land. The plants here have only the soil found between the cracks of the stones to grow in.

    Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food.

What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants, such as beach grass, will grow in sand, but most plants won't. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day, many of them will die because the sand on this beach has almost no food for plants.

(1)、What does the underlined word "cracks" mean in the text?
A、缝隙 B、表面 C、夹层 D、底部

A、there isn't enough sunlight B、there is too much water C、it is too crowded there D、it has little food for plants

A、science B、history C、travel D、maths

    If you think texting(发短信) while walking is dangerous, just wait until everyone starts wearing Google's smart, Internet-connected glasses. These glasses can do anything you now need a smartphone or tablet computer(平板电脑) to do —and then some.
    In Google's video, a guy wearing the "Project Glass" is shown getting subway information, making an appointment with a friend for coffee and showing the directions in a bookstore, all with the help of the glass. It ends with him playing an instrument for a woman and showing her the sunset through a video chat.
    The "Project Glass" Google displayed have a sleek(光滑的) wrap-around look and appear nothing like 3-D glasses. In development for a few years, the project is the idea of Google X, the online search-leader's secret department that produced the self-driving car and could one day send elevators into space.
    Google posted the video and short blog post about “Project Glass” on April 4th, asking people to offer feedback(反馈) through its Google Plus social network. By April 5th, about 500 people did, voicing a mix of amazement and concern about the new technology. What if people used it in cars and could not concentrate on driving? What about the effect on(对……有影响) your sight of having a screen so close to your eye?
    Some asked for the glass, but Google isn't giving those out just yet. The company didn't say when normal people can expect to get their hands on a piece of Project Glass, but going by how quickly Google will come out with new products, it may not be long. Enderle said that it could be about six months to a year before wide tests are coming, and a year or more for the first version(版本) of the product.

请认真阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

    Your body is special – no two people in the world are alike, Although you are different from everyone else, you have exactly the same body parts as the people around you, doing different jobs that keep all of us alive.
    What is inside my head ?
    Your head houses the most valuable part of your body – your brain. As you are reading, your eyes send pictures to your brain which makes meaning from what you see. Your brain helps you to remember and think, and makes sure your body is doing what it should.
    What is my skin(皮肤) for ?
    Your skin covers your body. In most parts of your body, the skin is just as thick as half a centimeter. If you have your skin cut, it will have a quick cure and stop viruses from getting into your body. Your skin also helps you feel the heat and coldness of the environment around you. Hair grows from inside the skin. When you feel hot, extra heat comes out through your skin. As a result, your body temperature drops.
    How do I move ?
    Muscles(肌肉) are found in most parts of your body. They work with your bones to help you move – whenever you cry or smile, eat or speak, walk or dance, etc.
    Why do I breathe ?
    Your body needs to take in oxygen from the air and give out the unwanted carbon dioxide in the body. When you breathe, air comes through your nose and mouth into your lungs(肺) where oxygen flows to different parts of your body.
    What makes me sneeze ?
    When dust or a strong smell gets into your nose, you sneeze. This is the way your body cleans up the dust in your nose. Your lungs push out the air and try to clear your nose.
    What does my heart do ?
    Your heart is a very special muscle. It is slightly bigger than your fist (拳头) and grows bigger as you do. If you place your hand on your heart, you will feel your heart beating which forces blood to move around your body.
