A
The new year always brings predictions. You know who gets them right?
BLUETOOTH
In his futuristic 1953 novel Fahrenheit 451 Ray Bradbury anticipated Bluetooth, describing
wireless earphones that allowed for "an electronic ocean of sound, of music and talk" to be
transferred through the air. Imagine how thrilled he would have been with a Bluetooth toaster! That
was the idea behind Griffin's Connected Toaster, which warned you via smartphone when your toast
was done. At $ 100, this baby cost a lot of bread, which may be why it was discontinued just two
years after launch.
SMART WATCH
The Apple Watch lets you chat, play games, and watch videos on a device fastened to your wrist.
Cool, huh? The Jetsons thought so… in 1962 —when Steve Jobs was still in second grade!
WI-FI
Nikola Tesla called it! In 1909, the famous electrical engineer told the New York Times, "It will
soon be possible to send wireless messages all over the world so simply that any individual can carry
and operate his own equipment." No doubt he was thinking of the Kérastase Hair Coach brush,
which measured brushing speed and employed a micro-phone to listen to your hair, all to compute an
overall hair-quality score sent to your smartphone. ( Alas, it too is gone.)
GPS
Writer Arthur C. Clarke (2001: A Space Odyssey) saw a world in which no one got lost. In
1956，he wrote that satellites “could make possible a position-finding grid(铁网）whereby anyone
could locate himself by means of a couple of dials on an instrument about the size of a watch.”
Clarke didn't mention that his system might also track another person, such as a criminal. Last year,
the New York City police arrested a robber who was wearing a GPS ankle monitor — because he
was still on probation(缓刑)for a prior crime.
1. Which of the predictions is the earliest?
A. BLUETOOTH. B. SMART WATCH,
C. WI-FI. D. GPS.
2. Why did Griffin's Connected Toaster disappear?
A. Too expensive. B. Out of date.
C. A little awkward D. Energy-consuming.
3. What was Clarke’s prediction?
A. A GPS ankle monitor.
B. A robber-arresting instrument.
C. A watch that could see the world.
D. An instrument that could locate a person.
B
I never thought I'd hear myself say it, but I've grown to enjoy lifting weights，and I've learned
from doing it. I enjoy the sense of strength and discipline that comes when the muscles are forced to
resist. I've tried varying schedules — lifting every day, every other day, two days on and a day off.
The every day approach was the least effective. I get the best strengthening results when I give
myself a break.
The same is true with mind and spirit. Without giving yourself a chance to reenergize, you
begin to break down all the connective fibers of your life. I used to just give myself Sundays off.
Now I'm scheduling downtime in the midst of everything — and “everything” includes two
magazines, building a house in Hawaii, working on an ABC movie — and, oh yeah, my day job.
Keeping it all straight was beginning to feel a little stressful. So I told myself that just because I have
ten free minutes on my calendar doesn't mean I want to fill them. Breathing space has to become part
of my daily routine.
So instead of having people lined up outside my office after the first show — I tape two a day
—I do nothing for at least ten minutes. The change has worked wonders. I have more energy, and I'm
in a better mood for the second show and all the business that comes afterward.
Now that I have the summer off to sit under the trees reading, napping, writing, and thinking , I
know for sure it’s time well spent. I’m refilling my tank so that by fall, when the new season begins,
I'll be fired up and ready for whatever is to come. Fully restored.
4. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To arouse the readers' concern.
B. To summarize the whole passage.
C. To state the importance of a good lifestyle.
D. To introduce the theme of the whole passage.
5. Which of the following does the author agree with?
A. Keeping everything straight. B. Resting at any time.
C. Taking breaks between tasks. D. Having a full schedule.
6. What does the underlined “it” in Para.2 refer to?
A. Everything. B. Building a house.
C. My day job. D. Working on a movie.
7. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Lifting weights changes peopled life.
B. A little restoration helps go a long way.
C. Why people need to be in high spirits.
D. Ten minutes' break will work wonders.
C
The Maya city of Tikal is famous for its amazing palaces and temples. But something far more
ordinary kept Tikal functioning: its water-purifying(净化) system the earliest known of its kind.
Researchers recently discovered a volcanic mineral that traps microbes(微生物) and heavy
metals in Tikal's largest reservoir(水库). Because the material is not found nearby, the finding
suggests the presence of a man-made water-purifying device.
The finding denies the long-standing idea that the ancient worlds technological achievements
belonged to the Eastern world, like Egypt, and China. The leading scientist of this research, Kenneth
Tankersley says, “When talking about purifying water, the Maya were thousands of years ahead.”
Located in the forests of Central America, Tikal, is thought to have been home to more than
45,000 people. They had to struggle against a dry season lasting from November through April.
Storing water in reservoirs was a solution, but that water had to be fit to drink, said Kenneth,
“Keeping water clean was of great importance.”
A few years ago, the researchers were surprised to find that the largest reservoir, Corriental, had
significantly fewer harmful chemicals than the others. “The water quality at Corriental was much
higher.”
Somehow the Maya must have been purifying Corriental’s water, the team assumed. “The Maya
used gardens as their bathrooms.” Kenneth said, “The water coming into the reservoir would not
have been very clean.”
At the bottom of Corriental, scientists found four separate layers(层), each a few centimeters
thick, of millimeter-scale “zeolites(沸石)”. This type of volcanic mineral can purify water and is still
in widespread use today, Kenneth says, “Just about everything we drink, from bottled water to wine,
runs through a zeolite purifying device.”
The Maya wouldn’t have known about the zeolite in rock, but they would have recognized the
purifying effects, the researchers suggest. A zeolite-rich rock formation about 30 kilometers
northeast of Tikal is the likely source of the material in Corriental reservoir, the team said last month
in Scientific Reports. Water at this site “was clear and tasted good.”
8. What did the researchers find?
A. A new material called zeolites. B. The purifying effects of zeolites.
C. An old water-purifying system. D. High-quality water in Corriental.
9. How did the Maya purify water?
A. By building the largest reservoir. B. By using gardens as their bathrooms.
C. By getting rid of heavy metals. D. By spreading four layers of zeolites.
10. What can we learn from the research?
A. The Maya drank bottled water. B. The ancient Maya were very bright.
C. The system was created by accident. D. The zeolites were found in Corriental.
11. According to Kenneth,________.
A. the original water in Corriental was not clean enough
B. water supply in Tikal lasted from November to April
C. all ancient technological achievements belonged to the East
D. the Maya had a good understanding of the zeolite in rocks
D
Can a fish be depressed? This question has been on my head ever since I spent a night in a hotel
across from a sad-looking fish. His name was Bruce Lee.
The pleasant woman at the front desk assured me that he was well taken care of. Was I
incorrectly assuming his laziness was a sign of being upset?
When I sought answers from scientists, I assumed that they would find the question ridiculous.
But they did not. New research has been totally shifting the way that scientists think about fish
cognition (认知)，building a case that pet and owner are not nearly as different as many assume. The
neurochemistry (神经化学）is so similar that it’s scary, said Julian Pittman，a professor. We tend to
think of them as simple living things, but there is a lot we don't give fish credit for.
Dr. Pittman likes working with fish, in part, because they are so obvious about their depression.
A zebrafish gets dropped in a new tank. If after five minutes it is hanging out in the lower half, it’s
depressed. If it’s swimming up top, then it’s not.
Is depression the right word? There's the obvious issue that we cannot ask animals how they
feel, says Dr. Diego A. Pizzagali . Neither fish nor rats can catch the entire range of depression as we
know it.
There is a heated debate about whether anxious or depressed is a more appropriate term. But
what has convinced Dr. Pittman, and others, over the past ten years is watching the way the zebrafish
lose interest in just about everything: food, toys, exploration, just like clinically depressed people
who are withdrawn. The same is true of fish.
One of the things we're finding is that fish are naturally curious and seek novel things out, said
Dr. Braithwaite. In other words, your goldfish is probably bored. To help get rid of depression, she
urges introducing new objects to the tank or switching up the location of items.
12. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Fish are considered simple living things.
B. Pet and owner are always assumed the same.
C. Scientists have learnt a lot about fish cognition.
D. Fish and human beings have something in common.
13. What does the underlined word “withdrawn” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Quiet and shy.
B. Happy and excited.
C. Interested and careful.
D. Disappointed and surprised.
14. Why can fish become bored according to the text?
A. They need oxygen from the air.
B. They are not born to be curious.
C. They lack new things to explore.
D. They can’t locate the positions of items.
15. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Fish Depression Is not a Joke
B. Fish Can Be a Boring Pet.
C. Fish Need Better Care More.
D. Fish Cognition Does not Exist.
