     El Caminito，Buenos Aires，Argentina
     Within the La Boca neighbourhood of Buenos Aires lies El Caminito Street.This small but colourful street has rows of homes and businesses painted in every colour imaginable.And the pretty turquoise（青綠色）and yellow pavements make the street even more beautiful.Home to cafes and shops，this street is typically a hot spot for tourists.
     Rainbow Row，Charleston，America
     Many people claim that if you don't visit Rainbow Row then you haven't really been to Charleston at all.The row of 13 houses，painted in pretty pale soft colours including baby blue，soft pink，lemon yellow，and green，are private houses that date back to the 1700s.Just around the corner in the same neighbourhood，you'll find small ice cream shops，coffee shops，and independently owned stores to do some window shopping for a fun girl's getaway weekend.
     Old Town Colmar，F(xiàn)rance
     One of the most colourful areas in France is Old Town Colmar，a little village often referred to as the Little Venice of France with a history of over 1，100 years.The canal running through the center of the village is surrounded by half-wood houses of different colours.The village takes special care of the flowers that line the canal，which add to its collection of vibrant hues （鮮艷的色調(diào)）.
     Nyhavn，Copenhagen，Denmark
     The harbour district of Copenhagen is one of the country's most popular tourist attractions，with good reason - the colourful street is only outdone by the views of the boats on the harbour.Nyhavn is home to traditional homes painted in bright colours；some have been changed into cafes and shops.

• 2．Charles Brooks of Newark，New Jersey patented the street sweeper truck on March 17th，1896.He patented a ticket punch （剪票鉗）design too that avoided ticket litter thrown away here and there.Little can be known about him other than that he was a black man.
     Horses and oxen were the main means of transportation in Brooks's time - where there are animals，there is manure （糞肥）.So there were piles of manure that needed removing regularly.The task of street sweeping was not carried out by machines，but workers sweeping garbage with a broom into a container.This method clearly required a lot of labor，although it did provide employment.
     That changed when mechanical street sweepers were invented by Joseph Whitworth in England and C.S.Bishop in the USA，which were still drawn by horses as Bishop's design was dragged behind horses.Later Brooks made some changes - a truck with revolving brushes that swept the litter into a hopper（漏斗）.The revolving brushes were attached to the front part of the truck and could be replaced by scrapers for snow removal in winter.
     Brooks also designed an improved container for sorting garbage as well as a wheel drive for the automatic turning of the brushes and for powering a lifting mechanism for the scrapers.It's not known whether his design was produced and marketed.The patent number 556711 was issued on March 17th，1896.The motor-driven pickup street sweeper was later developed by John M.Murphy for the Elgin Sweeper Company，which first appeared in 1913.
  
  （1）Why was much labor involved in street sweeping in Brooks' time？

  
  A．Because manure needed clearing at times.
  B．Because workers took it to support their families.
  C．Because it was done by hand.
  D．Because there was much ticket litter on the streets.
  （2）How did the Brooks' street sweeper differ from those invented by Whitworth and Bishop？

  
  A．It was pulled by a horse.
  B．It offered more working opportunities.
  C．It could do a timely cleanup of manure.
  D．It was fixed to the front of a truck.
  （3）What can be concluded from the passage？

  
  A．The street sweeper kept being improved.
  B．Brooks invented the first street sweeper.
  C．Murphy patented his street sweeper in 1913.
  D．Brooks profited from his new design.
  （4）Which of the following can best describe Brooks according to the text？

  
  A．Conservative.
  B．Creative.
  C．Cooperative.
  D．Curious.

• 3．The five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope （FAST） - the only significant instrument of its kind after the fall of the American Arecibo telescope in Puerto Rico in December，2020 - officially opened its door for foreign astronomers to use on March 31st this year，hoping to attract the world's top scientific talents.The world's largest radio telescope signals China's ambition as a global center for scientific research.
     The FAST in Pingtang，Guizhou Province，travels twice as fast as the US-owned one，and up to three times more sensitive.The FAST is also superior to Arecibo for it can deform and rotate （變形和轉(zhuǎn)動）.Work on the FAST began in 2011 and started full operations in January，2020.The data being collected by FAST should allow for a better understanding of the origins of the universe and aid in searching for alien life.
     China has been rapidly strengthening its development of science and technology to rely less on foreign technology.In the past two decades，China has built the largest high-speed train network in the world，finalised its Beidou geolocation （地理位置定位）system and is now in the process of bringing lunar samples back to Earth.
     Denis Simon，an expert on Chinese science policy，said，"China was viewed to be slow in innovation only a few years ago.Improvements in scientific innovation have been rapid recently.With more and more freedom given to the scientific and engineering community to explore new ideas and take bigger risks in the research environment，the risk-off culture in the past has given way to a more enterprise-starting culture."
  
  （1）What can be learned about FAST？

  
  A．It is ready to greet international scientists.
  B．It has been running for two decades.
  C．It is the only telescope to study outer space.

  D．The significant role of FAST.
  （4）What is the key to the scientific innovations according to the text？
