Write ONE WORD for each blank on the Answer Sheet.

Science and engineering have varied meanings and different ways in which they can be understood, though the differences are not easy to tell.

First is science. This is nothing but the use of reasoning to know how things work and what causes the happenings.

Engineering is about the way some tools, machines, systems etc are made with the help of human resources, raw materials and some scientific techniques. Science is important for engineering. Engineering can’t be done without knowing the basic principles of the working of the device that one wants to make. For example, if one wants to make a fan and they do not know how a fan works, then it is practically impossible for them to do so. Thus knowing how the fan works is science and making a fan is engineering.

Then comes the most important factor, the technology. Technology is always evolving with the help of the existing science and engineering techniques. It has to satisfy the usage of it by the consumers and safety of the people. For example, science will tell people the rules or the working of the equipment, engineering techniques will tell them how the equipment is made and the technology will consider both the above factors to create the same equipment but in a different way or using a different technique with some alterations(改變) giving birth to newfound technology. Thus again, science and engineering are important for technology to take place and the people who undertake the activities of science and technology are considered technologists.

All these three above discussed factors are important when one undertakes some kind of research work.

Some people think that technology is nothing but the way science is applied. If they make good investment in the field of science, then they would gain a lot from new technology. Thus, people start investing in many new ventures(項(xiàng)目)。

So we can see clear differences between science, technology and engineering. New technology is the best way to take a country to a higher economic position and to the path of fast growth. Technology requires the use of science and engineering as this is the best way to start and put the use of them into practice.

When looking at Western Europe，we don’t usually think about poverty—but in fact，some people in modern—day Britain are so hard up that they can’t afford to buy food．

Back in 2008,the financial crisis caused a lot of unemployment．Then there were the cuts to the welfare system in 2013 which added to the problem—and many British people fell into debt．It’s estimated that 500，000 people in the UK have turned to food banks，just to get by．

Steph Hagen，who works in a Nottingham food bank，says, “People do not go to a food bank because it's an open door．It’s a case where they go to it because they need to．With our food bank—we are an independent one．a(chǎn)nd we have limited stocks—everyone who comes through our door has no income．”

There are checks to make sure nobody is abusing the system．If a doctor or a social worker thinks someone needs to use a food bank—even for a short time—they can give them vouchers(憑證)．Then the people in need take them along to the food bank and they get handouts for three days．

Churches and individual donors provide most of the food in the banks．But some businesses might help out too．

And what sort of food is offered in food banks? Hagen says, “Basically，we’ve got porridge．We do occasionally get fresh produce but it’s very rare，especially in the winter months．It’s like tinned fruit，tinned ready meals．We have to give out ‘no-cooking’ food parcels because people can’t afford the gas and electricity”．

Community spirit has a lot to do with food banks．Volunteers say they are a great meeting place for people who are lonely and depressed．And when facing a crisis，some beneficiaries might need to feed not only their belly—but also their soul．

1.According to the text，the food bank is a place_____．

A．which is funded by the government

B．where people can get food randomly

C．which helps poor people live through crisis

D．where there is enough food supplies

2.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A．Systems． B．Doctors．

C．Social workers． D．Vouchers．

3.Why do food banks mainly offer “no-cooking ” food?

A．Poor people have no money for gas and electricity．

B．The volunteers hate to supply cooked food．

C．Food banks can’t afford cooked food．

D．This kind of food is easy to store．

4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．Community spirit can cure those who are depressed．

B．Food banks benefit poor people mind and body．

C．People can have great fun in food banks．

D. Volunteers tend to feel lonely and depressed in food banks．

Lightning flashed through the darkness over Donald Lubeck’s bedroom skylight. The 80-year-old retired worker was shaken by a blast of thunder. It was 11 p.m. The storm had moved directly over his two-story wood home in the rural town of Belchertown, Massachusetts. Then he heard the smoke alarm beeping. Lubeck padded down the stairs barefoot and opened the door to the basement, and flames exploded out.

Lubeck fled back upstairs to call 911 from his bedroom, but the phone didn’t work. Lubeck realized he was trapped. “I started panicking(恐慌),” he says.

His daughter and young granddaughters, who lived with him, were away for the night. “No one will even know I’m home, ” he thought. His house was three miles off the main road and so well hidden by pines that Lubeck knew calling for help would be fruitless.

Up a hill about a third of a mile away lived Lubeck’s closest neighbors, Jeremie Wentworth and his wife. Wentworth had been lying down, listening to the radio when it occurred to him that the sound was more like a smoke detector. He jumped out of bed, grabbed a cordless phone and a flashlight, and headed down the hillside toward the noise.

He dialed 911 “Is anyone there?” he called out as he approached the house. Wentworth knew that Lubeck lived in the house.

Then he heard, “Help me! I’m trapped!” coming from the balcony off Lubeck’s bedroom.

“I ran in and yelled, ‘Don, where are you?’ Then I had to run outside to catch my breath.”

After one more attempt inside the house, he gave up and circled around back. But there was no way to get to him. “I shone the flashlight into the woods next to an old shed and noticed a ladder,” says Wentworth. He dragged it over to the balcony and pulled Lubeck down just as the second floor of the house collapsed.

Wentworth and Lubeck don’t run into each other regularly, but Lubeck now knows that if he ever needs help, Wentworth will be there.

Lubeck still chokes up when he tells the story. “I was alone,” he says. “Then I heard the most beautiful sound in my life. It was Jeremie.”

1.According to the text, Lubeck .

A. stayed calm in the fire

B. couldn’t find a safe way out

C. lived on the first floor

D. called for help in the fire

2.How did Wentworth help Lubeck escape?

A. He called 911.

B. He went upstairs and took Lubeck out.

C. He put out the fire.

D. He used a ladder and pulled Lubeck down.

3.Which of the following factors was not mentioned in the text that almost caused Lubeck’s life?

A. He was living in his wood home alone that night.

B. The storm was too heavy and the fire was too fierce.

C. He lived far from the main road and was surrounded by pines.

D. He was too frightened to escape from the danger.

4.What does the text mainly talk about?

A.A near neighbor is better than a distant cousin.

B. A good way to get a narrow escape.

C. God helps those who help themselves.

D. Blood is thicker than water.
