Earlier this year, my husband and I were presented with the chance to make our home in an urban "micro" space. As we initially considered it, it seemed crazy. Would we even make it a week
with-outgoing mad? Living room, kitchen, office, dining room, all in one small four-walled space.
There were a number of other potential options. We could move out into the suburbs like most
people do in our extraordinarily expensive city and have a small yard may be even a basement. But
there was something about this neat "tiny" home that aroused our interest，that challenged us. We
like to live differently from the crowd to avoid what everyone else is doing "just because" everyone
else is.
"Let's try it for six months. If it makes us crazy, we'll move. We can do anything for 6 months,"
my husband said. It was challenging squeezing into the space at first, but then something caught us
by surprise. We started having a ton of fun with our tiny space.
In the past, sometimes we had quite different ideas about which art or decorating style we found
appealing. But here, in this tiny space, we found ourselves having a ton of fun exploring possible
options. There's no room for clutter(凌乱的东西), either. This is a gift!
It's been 8 months, and we're staying. Perhaps forever. When a space is this small, you don't
need to spend much in furnishing it, and you cant keep endlessly buying things. There's nowhere to
put them!
This leaves us more financial resources and more time to go out into the much bigger world and
enjoy life. For us living in a "tiny" home has filled us with a feeling of abundance. It's so much better
than feeling weighed down, paying for a big space and more and more things. I highly recommend
it.
24. What can we learn from the words of the author's husband?
A. He didn't like to stay in the small space.
B. He made up his mind to stay in the small space.
C. He was uncertain about living in the small space.
D. He encouraged the author to live in the small space.
25. What do we know about the authors experience from the text?
A. It was depressing but inspiring. B. It was challenging but interesting.
C. It was disappointing but touching. D. It was embarrassing but rewarding.
26. What's the main advantage of living in the small room to the author?
A. She could enjoy life more. B. She could avoid the crowds.C. She could clean the room easily. D. She could enjoy a feeling of freedom.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. A new trend of living B. The joy of living "tiny"
C. Save space, save money D. Make good use of space
C
We've known for years that plants can wee, hear, smell and communicate with chemicals. Now,
reported New Scientist, they have been recorded making sounds when stressed.
In a yet-to-be-published study, Itzhak Khait and his team at Tel Aviv University, in Israel,
found that tomato and tobacco plants can make ultrasonic(超声的)noises. The plants "cry out" due
to lack of water, or when their sterns(茎) are cut. It's just too high-pitched(音调高的)for humans to
hear.
Microphones placed 10 centimeters away from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic
range of 20 to 100 kilohertz(千赫兹). Human hearing usually ranges from 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz.
"These findings can alter the way we think about the plant kingdom," they wrote.
On average, "thirsty" tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour, while tobacco plants made 11.
When plant stems were cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and
tobacco plants 15. Unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour, on average.
Perhaps most interestingly, different types of stress led to different sounds. The researchers
trained a machine-learning model to separate the plants' sounds from those of the wind, rain and
other noises of the greenhouse. In most cases, it correctly identified whether the stress was caused by
dryness or a cut, based on a sounds intensity and frequency. Water-hungry tobacco appears to make
louder sound than cut tobacco, for example. Although Khait and his colleagues only looked at
tomato and tobacco plants, they think other plants also make sounds when stressed.
If farmers could hear these sounds, said the team, they could give water to the plants that need it
most. As climate change causes more droughts, they said this would be important information for
farmers. "The sounds that drought-stressed plants make could he used in precision agriculture(精准
农业)," said Anne Visscher at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in the U K.
Khait's report also suggests that insects and mammals can hear the sound up to 5 meters away
and respond. For example, a moth( 蛾 子 )may decide not to lay eggs on a water-stressed plant.
Edward Farmer, at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, is doubtful. He said that the idea of moths listening to plants is "a little too speculative".
If plants are screaming for fear of their survival, should we be thankful we cant hear them?
28. What did Khait and his team find from their research?
A. Plants made low-pitched sounds when in danger.
B. Plants were able to produce sounds in response to stresses.
C. 'Plants picked up a wider range of sounds when stressed.
D. Plants made ultrasonic noises to communicate with each other.
29. How did tomato and tobacco plants react to different stresses according to the text?
A. A plant reacted to different stresses with the same sound.
B. Cut tomato plants produced more sounds per hour than water-hungry ones.
C. Cut tobacco plants seemed to make weaker sounds than drought-stressed ones.
D. Tobacco plants might make louder sounds than tomato plants when short of water.
30. What's the main idea of Paragraph 6?
A. The potential applications of the research. B. Challenges facing farmers in the future.
C. Farmers contributions to the research. D. What the future agriculture will be like.
31. The underlined word "speculative" in the second-to-last paragraph has the closest meaning to
" ".
A. practical B. unsuspected C. unsupported D. complicated
D
Although there is growing research into the negative effect that screen-based technology can
have on well-being(健康), the trick technology companies have somehow played is that they have
made it our problem, not theirs. For example, it is ridiculous that we blame young people for being
addicted to their apps when the simple truth is that they are designed to be addictive. In the world of
apps, addiction is what brings in money.
Whether you run a video service, a news site or a mobile game, certainly your produce will
have an effect on the mental health of your users---negative or positive. But the sad reality is that if
you are not optimizing that effect, it tends to be former. The reason why so much technology doesn't
support well-being was no a consideration in its design.
An important area for improvement is notifications(通知). Notifications area great example of a
feature that's great for the product but bad for the users, since not only do they make us less focused but they also cause anxiety about the things we've missed, a symptom of addiction. There is very
little good about an inbox icon( 收件箱图标)showing a bright red circle with a high number on it.
Notifications can be made friendlier by not showing them in real time. (Me idea is to show the level
of unread messages through the weight of the app name. So if you had lots of emails, your Mail app
would be very bold( 粗 体 的 ), but if you didn't have any, it would be lighter. In this way, less
attention will be required.
Though it sounds challenging, finally money will talk. It is possible to make changes to
products that don't damage their primary income models. Changes could be made that help us feel
better about ourselves. When a company becomes more well-being-positive, they add a competitive
difference and become more attractive.
32. What can be concluded from the first paragraph?
A. Young people can be tricked easily. B. Screen-based technology is negative.
C. The addiction problem can't be solved. D. Tech companies are to blame for addiction.
33. If the users don't improve the effect on well-being, it tends to be .
A. indifferent B. optimistic C. pessimistic D. interesting
34. How can the apps reduce the negative effects according to the author?
A. By removing the inbox icon. B. By limiting people's screen time.
C. By making notifications less eye-catching. D. By informing the users of messages in no time.
35. What does the author think of well-being-positive companies?
A. They will enjoy the benefit finally B. They will have an uncertain future.
C. They will do good to the minority. D. They will change income models.
