US actress Natalie Portman,33, has always been praised for her smarts. At 18, she went to Harvard University following the release(公映) of her film Star Wars: Episode I in 1999. Four years later, she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. Then she took graduate courses at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. She speaks six languages and has twice been published in scientific journals.

You may think she has achieved all of these things easily thanks to her fame as actress, but only Portman herself knows what she has been through.

In late May, the Oscar winner revealed that her time at Harvard had some “dark moments” when she gave a speech to graduating Harvard students.

“I felt like … that I wasn’t smart enough to be in this company, and that every time I opened my mouth I would have to prove that I wasn’t just a dumb actress,” she said.

It was that fear that helped her carve out her own path, Portman admitted

“My belief that I could handle these things (her own limitations) … was half the battle. The other half was very hard work,” she said.

“Sometimes, your insecurities(不安) and your inexperience may lead you to take on other people’s expectations, standards, or values,” she added.

21. What can be inferred about Portman in Harvard from her speech?

A. She experienced a hard time.

B. She got wide attention as an actress.

C. She tried hard to prove herself a good actress.

D. She enjoyed the life as a university student.

22. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. She can speak six foreign languages.

B. After she entered Harvard University, she starred in Star Wars.

C. She has twice been published in art journals.

D. She won an Oscar Award.

23. How did Portman overcome her disadvantages?

A. By her fame and education.

B. By means of her belief and hard work.

C. Through her beauty and smarts.

D. With her fear and inexperience.

Wikipedia is a free-access, free content Internet encyclopedia(百科全书), supported and hosted by the non-profit Wikipedia Foundation.Wikipedia is ranked among the ten most popular websites and is considered the Internet’s largest and most popular general reference book. Now, Wikipedia is becoming Wookiepedia as scientists hope the informative website will help us reach out to intelligent life forms. So aliens can learn about the human race.

Astronomers would like to beam (播送) the entire contents of Wikipedia into space in the hope of contacting aliens. They want to send messages to hundreds of star systems and planets 20 light years away using radio telescopes. The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute, in California, wants to use powerful radio telescopes to try to reach Chewbacca and his mates in a galaxy（银河系）far away.

The plans will be discussed by astronomers at the weekend as some scientists fear the reply from ET might not turn out to be friendly. Institute scientist David Black said, “One question is if there are dangerous creatures we might be drawing their attention to ourselves. Another is if we go ahead, what message should be sent? There could be many civilizations out there，but if they are all listening and no one is broadcasting or responding, then nothing will happen.”

Professor Stephen Hawking, who has warned that intelligent aliens probably exist and we should keep a safe distance from them, is among those. “If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans,” he said.

Signals from Earth’s radio and TV broadcasts have been heading out in space for some 60 years reaching around 5,000 stars.

24. Wikipedia is becoming Wookiepedia because ________.

A. we human beings intend to help and save aliens

B. scientists wish to explore other planets similar to the earth

C. astronomers hope to get in touch with aliens

D. aliens might fight against the human race

25. What does the underlined word those in the fourth paragraph refer to?

A. aliens from space B. astronomers sending signals

C. scientists for the plans D. scientists against the plans

26. What has Prof. Stephen Hawking warned?

A. intelligent aliens would probably land in America.

B. the plans will be in vain and nothing will happen.

C. none of the civilizations would reply.

D. aliens would bring disasters to the human race.

27. Which can be the best title?

A. Wikipedia, the most popular website

B. Wikipedia to be beamed into space

C. Wikipedia, aliens’ best friend

D. Wikipedia to result in a disaster

C

These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green buildings can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices.

Green building means “reducing the effect of the building on the land”, Taryn Holowka of the U.S. Green Building Council(评议会) in Washington, D.C., said.According to Holowka, building accounts for 65 percent of total U.S. electricity use.

But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on developed land, so that the buildings don’t destroy forests.

Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that puts these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country’s first green high-rise building. According to Dettling, “We’ve reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by 50 percent.”

The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power. “On the face of the building we have solar panels（光板） which change the sun’s energy into electricity,”Dettling explained.

The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In addition, the building has lots of windows, allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. The Solaire cuts water by reusing it.

Not everyone is eager to move into a green building, however. Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Anyhow, Holowka said, “It’s going to be big.”

28. A green building means _______.

A. a building that uses no electricity

B. a building that saves energy and water

C. a building occupying less land
