Ⅰ.阅读理解(导学号02516343)
(2018·唐山模拟)A new method of delivering data, which uses the visible spectrum (光谱) rather than radio waves, has been tested in a working office.
Lifi can deliver Internet access 100 times faster than traditional Wifi, offering speeds of up to 1 Gbps (gigabit per second). It requires a light source, such as a standard LED bulb, an Internet connection and a photo detector.
It was tested this week using a Lifienabled light bulb to transmit data at the speed of 1 Gbps. Laboratory tests have shown theoretical speeds of up to 224 Gpbs. When tested in an office, it allowed workers to access the Internet and in an industrial space，where it provided a smart lighting solution. Chief executive Deepak Solanki said that the technology could reach consumers “within three or four years”．
The term Lifi was first coined by Prof. Haas, who demonstrated the technology at a Ted conference in 2011. His talk, which has now been watched nearly two million times, showed an LED lamp streaming video. Prof. Haas described a future when billions of light bulbs could become wireless hot spots.
One of the big advantages of Lifi is the fact that, unlike Wifi, it does not interfere with other radio signals, so could be used on aircraft and in other places where interference is an issue.
However, the technology also has its drawbacks－most notably the fact that it cannot be used outdoors in direct sunlight, because that would interfere with its signal. Neither can the technology travel through walls so initial use is likely to be limited to some places.

The major reason for that is related to human biological needs. When you're a baby，you're 75 percent water. Then，as the years get higher，you get drier. __2__ It helps you lose weight, according to a study from the University of Birmingham.
The researchers found that drinking 500 ml of water thirty minutes before a meal helped participants lose 10 more pounds than those who did not. __3__ All participants were advised to improve their diet and physical activity levels. 84 overweight adults were involved. Among them 41 were told to “preload” with water，while 43 were told to control their water intake before eating. After 12 weeks，the participants instructed to “preload” with water lost 2.87 pounds more than those in the control group on average. In addition, the participants preloading with water before each of their three main meals every day lost 9.48 pounds over the 12 weeks. __4__
Dr. Helen Parretti, a lecturer at the University of Birmingham，had this to say of the study: __5__ Just drinking 500 ml of water, three times a day, before your main meals may help reduce your weight... and this could be an easy way for weight loss. Furthermore, it can be significant for an individual to lose extra weight, making a potential contribution to public health.
A．Another reason to drink water is right here.
