In Cherrybrook Technology High School, mathematics teacher Eddie Woo is already at work.One of the first things before the first bell rings is to set up his tripod(三脚架) and iPad in the middle of the classroom. This technology is Mr. Woo's core tool of the trade. "I'm Mr. Woo. I record my lessons. I record all of them. In fact, I'm about to record this one," he explains to his new maths class.The unique approach to teaching mathematics has not gone unnoticed. Mr. Woo is arguably the most famous teacher in Australia - a maths teacher by day and an internet sensation(轰动) by night.He started posting videos online in 2012 for a student who was sick with cancer and missing a lot of school. Other students in the class then wanted to watch Mr. Woo's videos on his free YouTube channel and website, so he started sharing them across the country and beyond. Wootube now boasts more than 38,000 subscribersc用户) and has attracted almost 4 million views worldwide.Cherrybrook Technology High School principal Gary Johnson said Mr. Woo was helping address a standing shortage of maths teachers in Australia, and making maths popular again. “He has an ability to simplify mathematics to a level where kids can really understand it," Mr. Johnson said.12-year-old student Emily Shakespear said Mr. Woo's teaching style made maths irresistible. "I don't want to say it, but he sucked me into maths," she said. Owen Potter, who attends high school in Cobar, agreed.

Then you may be the perfect candidate for laugh, a global project to create the first piece of art in outer space using the International Space Station's (ISS) newly acquired 3D printer. While transforming an emotion into art may seem a little far-fetched, Eyal Gever is known for his gift for combining art and technology to make 3D sculptures from life-like digital simulations based on moments in time.He was offered the project by Made In Space Inc. that specializes in manufacturing 3D printers for use in microgravity. Realizing the enormous responsibility of being the first artist whose work is created in space, Gever wanted to choose a subject with universal appeal - something that would be appreciated by everyone regardless of country or culture. After considering several ideas, he settled on creating a 3D human laughter, an emotion that is loved and treasured by all of humanity.People wishing to send their giggles to space have to download the laugh app and record their best laughter. The app turns the sound file into a 3D model that resembles a burst of light or a "laugh star" which can be shared on social media and also rated by other app users. The laughter that receives the maximum number of likes and tweets by December 31, will be declared the winner.The artist will then transmit the design file of the winning laugh to NASA's Operations Support Center in Alabama, where it will be uploaded via a satellite link to the ISS. The astronauts will print the 3D sculpture of the "laugh star" and release it into orbit (轨道) where it will float among real stars for ever, or at least until discovered by aliens!Though this is the first time Gever is creating art for space, he is no stranger to unusual projects. His "Water Dancer" , a projection of light on a water wall, features a dancer whose body disperses(伸展) as she moves. The recently sculpted "Piece of Ocean" , created from a realistic computer simulation(模试验) of ocean waves, bears an impressive resemblance to the real thing.32. What task was Gever given?A. To change human emotion into laughter.B. To select human laughter in the world.C. To create the first piece of space art.D. To make 3D sculptures from digital simulations.33. Why did Gever choose human laughter?A. It is hard to change sound into a 3D model.B. It is easily transported in the air.C. It will cost him little money.D. It is enjoyed around the world.34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Gever is good at making unusual arts.B. Gever likes to bring others a lot of joy.C. Gever uses water a lot in his art.D. Gever copied masterpieces with a computer.35. What is the passage mainly about?A. The first piece of art in outer space.B. 3D printed giggles will be launched into space.C.A 3D human laughter will be sent to ISS.D. The 3D sculpture of the "laugh star" orbits the earth.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
