We must focus on many things at the same time to walk safely in 3.straight line. The researchers said that people forget how to walk 4. (proper), so dangerous things happen to them. They bump into walls and other people. They walk into cars, fall over things in the street, and even fall into holes 5. down stairs. A professor said walking is a difficult action. There are several reasons 6. texting makes walking dangerous. 7. is that people can’t see the street. Another is that they focus on their phone keyboard instead of their feet. A final reason is that their minds are somewhere else – they are not thinking about 8.(walk) from A to B safely. The professor said over 6000 people 9. (visit)his hospital last year because of texting. When a pedestrian is tossed (抛)into the air, he or she has nothing 10.(protect)the head. The danger can be serious.

The world's first hydrogen-powered trains have begun running in Germany. They began carrying passengers Monday in Germany's northern Lower Saxony state. The new train will run 100-kilometer trips and can travel up to 140 kilometers an hour. A French railroad company called Alstom built the two trains. Team in Germany and France cooperated on the project, which was supported by the German government. The new train model ,called the Coradia ilint, signals the beginning of efforts in Germany and other nations to move away from pollution-producing diesel(柴油) trains. The Coradia iLint is designed to run on non-electrified train lines with low levels of noise. It uses a process that combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electrical power. If the system produces more energy than the train needs at that time, it can store the extra energy in batteries. The only emissions (排放物) are water and steam. A single tank of hydrogen can run a Coradia iLint train for about 1,000 kilometers. This is very similar to the distance a diesel-powered train can run on with a single tank. Hydrogen-powered trains cost more than diesel trains to build. But Alstom officials say the operating costs are much lower. The company plans to provide another 14 Coradia iLint trains to Lower Saxony by 2021. The head of railroad operations in the area, Carmen Schwab, praised replacing diesel trains with hydrogen. She said the move was an important first step in using clean-burning technologies to reach climate protection goals. Officials say the area's many wind turbines (涡轮机)will produce part of the energy to create the hydrogen to power the trains. Alstom says several other European countries have also expressed interest in developing hydrogen train systems. France has already said it wants its first hydrogen train to be operating by 2022. 1.Why did Germany build the new trains? A. To replace diesel trains. B. To carry more passengers. C. To make traveling much easier. D. To develop friendship with France. 2.What is one advantage of the Coradia iLint? A. It runs without making any noise. B. It doesn't use electrical power. C. It costs much less to run. D. It is cheaper to make it. 3.It can be concluded that hydrogen trains________. A. are widely used B. are environmentally friendly C. can stop air pollution D. can produce water and oxygen 4.What might be the best title for the text? A. Saving Natural Resources B. Efforts to Reduce Emissions C. World's First Hydrogen Trains D. A New Way to Make Electricity
It might sound like a terrible dream,but a new design from Dubai-based airline Emirates plans to remove windows from airplanes. Instead of real-life views of clouds and sky, first-class passengers will look out of “virtual(虚拟的)windows,” enjoying projected views of the world passing by. Emirates’ “windows” use real time high-tech camera technology to provide virtual views of the outside world. Saj Ahmad,Chief analyst at Strategic Aero Research says,”Windowless airplanes sound great-however, in reality, it won’t happen for a number of reasons. For starters,in the event of an emergency,people in the plane often need to look out for reference points. Having visual awareness is important and in a windowless jet, they don’t exist-especially if there is an electrical fault which then means that the ‘electric’ windows do not work and you can’t see outside.” Ahmad was also concerned about passenger comfort. “Passengers simply do love the natural view outside,” he says. “There are also other problems---the change involved would certainly require new tests.” Other futuristic airplane designs are going the opposite way. Boeing’s Dreamliner ---its most modern design---features large windows. Airbus has also designed a plane with transparent(透明的) walls that is presented at the 2011 Paris Air Show. Embraer has planned the Kyoto cabin, designed for its Lineage 1000E aircraft, which features large windows running along the majority of the walls of the cabin. There could also be a move towards pilotless planes in the future---but Ahmad applies his doubts about windowless planes to drone-flown(无人驾驶的) planes too. “The idea of windowless planes is possible---that doesn’t mean it will happen,” says Ahmad. “The same applies to drone technology---but that doesn’t mean that tomorrow we’re suddenly going to see all airplanes being flown without pilots.” 1.What will Emirates’ new planes be like? A.They will be pilotless. B.They will have open windows. C.They will present outside views on virtual windows. D.They will provide all passengers with windowless experiences. 2.What does Saj Ahmad think of the virtual windows? A.Useful. B.Expensive. C.Impractical. D.Comfortable. 3.How is the third paragraph developed? A.By giving examples. B.By making comparisons. C.By following space order. D.By explaining cause and effect. 4.What is the future of drone technology according to Saj Ahmad? A.It needs more skilled engineers. B.It will take time to develop. C.It will be widely applied. D.It is promising.
Google previously announced successful tests of machine learning systems designed to assist doctors. In one case, Google reported AI had examined eye diseases with equal accuracy to doctors. Other tests showed that machine learning can be used to study large amounts of patient data to predict future medical events. Now the company has published two new studies showing a high level of success in identifying metastatic breast cancer. Metastatic means that cancer has spread from its main area to other parts of the body. Metastatic breast cancer is one of the deadliest, causing about 90 percent of all breast cancer deaths worldwide. In metastatic breast cancer patients, the cancer often travels to nearby lymph nodes(淋巴结). Usually doctors examine lymph node tissue under a microscope to see whether cancer is present. Google notes that previous studies have shown that up to one-fourth of metastatic lymph node classifications end up being changed after a second examination. In addition, studies show that small metastatic material can be missed up to 67 percent of the time when examinations happen under extreme time restrictions. Google says it created a mathematical algorithm(算法). The algorithm, called Lymph Node Assistant, is trained to find characteristics of tissue affected by metastatic cancer. When the system examined tissue images(图像), it was able to differentiate between metastatic cancer and non-cancer 99 percent of the time. In addition, the Lymph Node Assistant is highly effective at finding the positions of the cancers. Some of these positions would be too small for doctors themselves to identify. The research also showed that the algorithm method can reduce the usual time needed to examine the disease by about 50 percent. But Google makes clear the AI-based system is not meant to replace the work of medical professionals. Instead, it is designed to reduce the number of false identifications and help doctors work faster and more effectively. 1.What is the main idea of Paragraph 1? A.Google became a pioneer in training doctors. B.Machine learning is able to stop future medical events. C.Google developed artificial intelligence to help doctors. D.Artificial intelligence cured eye diseases with equal accuracy to doctors. 2.What can we infer about metastatic breast cancer? A.One-fourth of the metastatic breast cancer patients die in the end. B.Metastatic breast cancer is very difficult to identify. C.It results in 90 percent of deaths of all cancers. D.It can be identified after a second examination. 3.What is the advantage of Google’s new mathematical algorithm? A.It can offer effective treatment. B.It can tell the exact positions of cancers C.It costs 99 percent less time than before. D.It improves the accuracy of identifying cancers by 50%. 4.What influence will the mathematical algorithm bring? A.False identification of cancers will be avoided. B.More effective prevention of cancers will be found. C.The number of medical professionals will be reduced. D.Doctors can have a faster understanding of patients’ condition.
Amazing Scientists Who Happen to Be Teenagers We’ve got a list of teen scientists from a variety of fields. Jack Andraka Jack Andraka created a biosensor for cancer that he says is 168 times faster, 26,667 times less expensive and 400 times more sensitive than technology nowadays. He’s the youngest person to have spoken in front of the Royal Society of Medicine. Taylor Wilson Taylor Wilson was the youngest person to achieve nuclear fusion(核聚变). He was inspired by The Radioactive Boy Scout, a novel in which a kid tries and fails to build a nuclear reactor. Taylor thought he could do better.Long story short, he wanted to build a small nuclear reactor. And he did it at the age of fourteen. He received a Thiel Fellowship, which gave him $100,000 to work on his own research. Sara Volz Sara Volz performed experiments in which she grew algae(藻类)based on their oil output for the purpose of growing them as biofuel. This research is especially important as the world continues to search for a way to lessen our dependence on non-renewable energy. She won the top prize of $100,000 in the lntel Science Talent Search. Daniel Burd Plastic usually takes thousands of years to decompose(降解)，but this high school student Daniel Burd managed to do it in three months. In an experiment，he mixed plastic bags and a special kind of dirt together, and found that they did decompose faster.He then performed tests to find the bacteria(细菌)responsible for decomposing the plastics. His solution only produces water and small amounts of carbon dioxide.He says it could easily be used elsewhere. 1.Who designed a medical instrument? A.Sara Volz. B.Daniel Burd. C.Jack Andraka. D.Taylor Wilson. 2.What excited Taylor Wilson’s interest in his invention? A.A novel by a kid. B.Plastic pollution. C.Energy shortage. D.A story book. 3.What do we know about Daniel Burd’s invention?

When you're selling a product or service, you have two main methods to choose from. You need to decide whether you want to use the hard-sell(强行推销) method or a soft one.1.Let's take a look at the difference between the two to determine which one is right for your business. Nearly every good business employs the soft-sell(软推销)method in some way. With this method, a company can encourage a customer to buy a product or service without seeming too pushy(死缠硬磨的).2. The soft-sell method often uses promotions like money-back guarantees and free-trial periods. By promising your customers that they'll be happy with their purchase (购买), you can persuade them to give you a chance.3.That can help your financial goals on track. 4.Choosing to sell your products or services this way will help people know that your business is reliable and easy to work with. Sometimes good word of mouth can make all the difference in how many sales you make. The soft-sell method is generally the preferred one for most businesses, but that doesn't mean it's perfect. 5. If your competitors are employing a hard-sell method their aggression could force customers into buying from them instead of you.A hard-sell method is typically a more aggressive way of making a sale While some people will be turned off by a pushy method, there will always be those who give in to the pressure. So it's important to take that into consideration if you plan to rely only on the soft-sell method. A. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages. B. The soft-sell method will also help you win good fame. C. a salesman tries to sell something using indirect methods. D. Sometimes a soft method might be easily beaten by a pushy one. E.“ Soft sell”and“ hard sell” are known to scholars and businessmen. F. When you keep your promise, you earn their trust and gain repeat buyers. G. The idea shows the good of making a purchase while putting customers at ease.
Working on a farm and taking care of crops can be hot, time-consuming and difficult. Engineers have long wanted to build robots to lighten the load. But it has proved a difficult task. Robots that walk or roll along the ground can step on the easily damaged plants heavily. And they have to stop working when rain turns fields muddy. “Tarzan”, however, could deal with some of those challenges. Jonathan Rogers is a robotics expert at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. When it comes to a farm environment, he realized robots would face many problems. “Many robots tend to get twisted(弯曲的) together or get stuck,”he says. What's more, he notes, "It's very hard to leave them out for long periods without a human helping them.” What if the robot could move above the crops? Jonathan Rogers says, “The sloths(树懒)move from tree branch to tree branch to avoid having to walk around the forest floor. "Then his team set out to design a robot that could swing hand to hand along wires hung above the field. He named their invention Tarzan after the jungle-swinging character in a movie. Tarzan is not the first swinging robot. Mark Spong, a robotics researcher at the University of Texas at Dallas notes that some teams have built robots that do gymnastics or copy mammals. But he says he admires Tarzan for its using swinging movement to save energy and the idea of building a wire structure to move around above crops. Rogers first predicted that Tarzan could help farmers monitor crops with sensors (传感器) and cameras. But he also said future robots might take water to a particularly thirsty plant or fertilize one that needs nutritional support. And adding a third “hand”could allow such a robot to harvest fruits and vegetables. Finally the robot could move off the farm and into the city, helping deal with the traffic and security. 1.What worried the engineers when they built the farm robots? A.They took up too much space. B.They made the farming process slow. C.They had difficulty exploring in fields. D.They caused certain damage to crops. 2.What does Jonathan Rogers think about most farm robots? A.They take much time to make. B.They get out of date more easily. C.They depend too much on people. D.They get used to the environment slowly. 3.What attracts Mark Spong most about Tarzan? A.Its strong wings. B.Its low cost C.Its creative design D.Its powerful engine. 4.How did Jonathan Rogers feel about Tarzan’s future? A.It could be found everywhere. B.It could be put into more practical uses. C.It could be used to do all the farm work. D.It could be popular with working people in cities.
Born at a dog kennel(养狗场) in Novosibirsk, Maru was sold to a family in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk, 800 km away, when she was only 5 months old .However, 6 months later the kennel owner Alla Morozova received a call from the dog's owners informing her that they were allergic(过敏的) to animals and could no longer look after their pet. The contract said that in case the buyers no longer wanted a dog they should inform Alla first, so she could make arrangements to get it back .She had someone get Maru and accompany her on a train ride back to Novosibirsk,but 200 km into the journey, something went wrong. “The dog had a panic attack, so she was frightened,” Alla told the Siberian Times. She had been brought by her owners, but then they disappeared somewhere .The noise of the train scared(惊吓) her, so she jumped on the compartment door,kicked the handle to open it, and jumped out of the train as it was getting close to the station in Achinsk, a city between Krasnoyarsk and Novosibirsk”. After hearing the news Alla called her former owners to tell them that Maru was all alone and scared. She asked them to help her look for the dog but they refused. “That angered me. They gave the dog away and the load fell off their shoulders,” said Alla. But Alla wasn't about to give up on her dog She posted messages about her online and gave out leaflets(传单)asking for information. Volunteers found her in an industrial zone, "Alla said. "The dog was very fatigued. She had walked and run for two and a half days. She was lame, and her paws were broken. I'm sure that she was looking for her house. Dogs are very attached to people.” Alla added . A friend of Alla's recently drove Maru to her kennel in Novosibirsk, where she was reunited with her mother and father. She is now undergoing treatment to recover from the suffering of walking 200 km through the Siberian wilderness. 1.What happened to Maru when she was 11 months old? A.She was sold to another family. B.She was allergic to her owners. C.She was given up by her owners. D.She was well looked after by her owners. 2.Why did Maru Jump out of the train? A.She was frightened by its noise. B.She was driven by the conductor. C.She was badly treated by her owners. D.She wanted to go back to her parents. 3.The underlined word “fatigued” in Paragraph3 probably means “_______” A.worried B.excited C.interested D.tired 4.What did Alla think of Maru's former owners? A.Merciless B.Selfless C.Stubborn D.Responsible
I'm standing in a class of wild 14-year-old girls as they throw paper and howl (大声叫喊) with laughter. They won't listen to me. I was a young girl of 22 and I didn't know what I was doing. I never wanted to teach . I wanted to be a writer. But when I arrived in London, they were short of teachers. My efforts at teaching were hopeless. When the bell finally rang, I rushed to the staff room, red with anger. The other teachers weren't surprised. “That's 4B, the worst class in the school.” one said. I feared our next meeting, but I couldn't give up. I needed the job, so I gave up formal lessons. Instead, I brought topics for class discussions. One of the liveliest talks was about the arguments they had with their parents. They paid attention and shared about their lives. I was very interested, so I had them write about themselves.Most wrote about families with little money and big problems. As time went on, their articles became a bridge between us. I admired their humor, toughness and insight (洞察力), and I thought they appreciated my interest in their lives. The musical My Fair Lady was playing in the West End, but they had never seen a live stage performance. I asked if they'd like to see the musical, but they thought I was joking. No teacher had ever suggested taking them out. a few weeks later, 4B and I were sitting in a theater. They loved the music, the costumes and the characters. It was the highlight of their year, and they talked about it for days. Near the end of the term, someone knocked on the door of the staff room. The two most rebellious(ik)girls in 4B were there with flowers. I was proud to know I had touched their lives,and they had also touched mine.I enjoyed teaching and getting along with teenagers.
