Summer is the perfect time to relax. As you plan for your trip, here are some tips on how to protect yourself. 1. Fight against the mosquitoes in the hot spots. There are many mosquito-borne illnesses in tropical regions, which are traditionally vacation hot spots. Therefore, mosquito repellent（驱蚊剂）that contains DEET should be an essential item in your travel bag. 2. In lesser-developed countries there is less equipment for clean water and public health. If you can't avoid unhealthful water, make sure you bring along a tea or coffee—making pot that will boil water for you. You’d better buy a case or two of water and check that all bottle caps are sealed to assure the bottled water isn't just a refilled bottle of dirty tap water. Always protect your feet. It's best to wear slippers in the shower, but if you must be barefoot, put a towel down on the floor.3.You should never walk barefoot in any area of a foreign country, including your hotel room. Be sure to eat safe fruits. 4. They may have been washed in the same water, or wiped with the same rag used to clean work surfaces in kitchens. The best advice is to bring your own peeler（削皮器）so that you know that something clean has been applied to the fruit. Enjoy the smell of roadside stands, not the food. Unless the food is piping hot when served, it’s best to stay away from roadside stands, no matter how good the smell of the food might be. If you are concerned about whether a restaurant is clean, order the food to go. 5. A. Don't trust the local water B. Any fruit served fresh may be polluted C. Look out for any water not served in a bottle D. The boxes may be cleaner than the plate or fork on the table E. You should know how to keep yourself away from dirty fruits F. They are necessary to avoid coming back with a major illness from your trip G. Parasites（寄生虫）can enter the skin of your feet and travel to different parts of the body
Nao, the first robot able to show feelings, has been created by a European research team. When Nao is sad, he lowers his head and looks down. When he’s happy, he raises his arms for a hug. Nothing is out of the ordinary, except that Nao is a robot. “We’re modeling the first years of life,” says Lola Canamero, a computer scientist at the University of Hertforshire. “The feelings are shown through physical gestures and body movements rather than facial or verbal(言语的) expressions.” In the future, says the scientist, robots are likely to act as companions, provide support for old people, and help people shop online. In such uses, the display of feeling will be important in making the interactions(交往) more natural and comfortable. Nao has been programmed to copy the emotional skills of a one-year-old child. It can memorize faces, and knows the basic rules of good and bad. Based on these it can decide how to react to what is going on. The actions going with each feeling are pre-programmed, but Nao decides for itself when to display them. Nao is also programmed to have different personalities. A more independent robot is less likely to call for help when exploring a room, while a more fearful robot will show distress if it finds something in the room that may be harmful. Canamero’s team will take its emotional programming forward into medical applications. Part of the project will look at ways to use robots in hospitals to support the roles of doctors, nurses and parents. Children might find that a small, friendly-looking robot that can understand their emotional states makes them less anxious. “We want to explore different roles—the robots will help the children to understand their treatment and explain what they have to do. We want to help the children to control their anxiety.” she says. 1.According to the text, Nao_______. A.displays different feelings in different situations B.is able to imitate adult emotional displays C.can remember people’s feelings D.learns emotions from facial expressions 2.What can we learn from the text? A.Scientists worked on facial and spoken expressions to create Nao’s emotions. B.The time when Nao displays feelings has been pre-programmed. C.Emotional programming is used in medicine production. D.Robots with emotional skills can help children feel more comfortable. 3.What does the underlined word “distress” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A.Courage. B.Anxiety. C.Anger. D.Satisfaction. 4.What is the text mainly about? A.The relationship between humans and robots. B.The roles that robots play in different fields. C.The first robot able to show feelings. D.The long history of robots.
You’ve just come home, after living abroad for a few years. Since you’ve been away, has this country changed for the better-or for the worse? If you’ve just arrived back in the UK after a month’s holiday, small changes have probably surprised you-anything from a local greengrocer suddenly being replaced by a mobile-phone shop to someone in your street moving house. So how have things changed to people coming back to Britain after seven, ten or even 15 years living abroad? What changes in society can they see that the rest of us have hardly noticed-or now take for granted? To find out, we asked some people who recently returned. Debi: When we left, Cheltenham, my home town, was a town of white, middle-class families-all very conservative (保守的). The town is now home to many eastern Europeans and lots of Australians, who come here mainly to work in hotels and tourism. There are even several shops only for foreigners Having been an immigrant (移民) myself, I admire people who go overseas to find a job. I believe foreign settlers have improved this country because they’re more open-minded and often work harder than local people. Christine: To see policemen with guns in the airport for the first time was frightening-in Cyprus, they’re very relaxed-and I got pulled over by customs officers just for taking a woolen sweater with some metal-made buttons out of my case in the arrivals hall. Everyone seemed to be on guard. Even the airport car-hire firm wanted a credit card rather than cash because they said their vehicles had been used by bank robbers. But anyway, this is still a green, beautiful country. I just wish more people would appreciate what they’ve got. 1.After a short overseas holiday, people tend to _______. A.notice small changes B.expect small changes C.welcome small changes D.dislike small changes 2.What’s Debi’s attitude to the foreign settlers? A.Disappointed. B.Negative. C.Doubtful. D.Supportive. 3.When arriving at the airport in Britain, Christine was shocked by _______. A.the relaxed policemen B.the dirty arrivals hall C.the strict safety check D.the bank robbers 4.Which might be the best title for the passage? A.Life in Britain. B.Back in Britain. C.Britain in Future . D.Britain in Memory.
When Debbie Parkhurst choked (呛，噎) on a piece of apple at her Maryland home, her dog jumped in, landing hard on her chest and forcing the piece of apple to pop out of her throat. Debbie Parkhurst’s husband, Kevin, was at his job at a chemical firm when she took a midday break from the jewelry shop and bit into an apple. When the Keesling family of Indiana were about to be overcome by carbon monoxide(CO), their cat clawed (抓) at wife Cathy’s hair until she woke up and called for help. For their timely acts, Toby, a golden 2 -year-old dog, and Winnie, a gray-eyed American shorthair, were named Dog and Cat of the Year by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Neither Parkhurst nor Keesling could explain their pets’ timely action, though Parkhurst suggested it might have been guided by God intervention (干预). “That’s what our veterinarian (兽医) said,” she said. “He wasn’t making a joke; he’s very serious, and now I have to agree with him.” But both pets were themselves rescued in baby, Toby as a 4-week-old baby thrown into a garbage bin to die, and Winnie as a week-old baby hiding under a barn, so helpless that Keesling’s husband, Eric, had to feed her milk. As the Keeslings recalled it, a gas-driven pump spread carbon monoxide through the house. By the time Winnie moved into rescue spot, the couple’s 14-year-old son, Michael, was already unconscious(无意识的). “Winnie jumped on the bed and was clawing at me, with a kind of angry noise,” Cathy Keesling said. “When I woke up I felt like a T-bar had hit me across the head.” State police and officers said the family was only minutes from death, judging by the amount of poisonous gas in the house. 1.How did Debbie’s dog helped her? A.It barked loudly and took the piece of apple out. B.It jumped onto her chest and pressed it, making the piece of apple out. C.It put a hard thing on her chest to take the piece of apple out. D.It broke the piece of apple and take it out. 2.We can know Debbie Parkhurst _______. A.works in a chemical factory B.was making jewelry when she had the accident C.might have died without her pet’s help D.was unconscious when her pet found her 3.Why did Winnie try to wake Cathy Keesling up? A.Because there was danger in her house. B.Because he was hungry and wanted milk. C.Because another cat was clawing at Cathy angrily. D.Because a T-bar was going to hit him. 4.From the passage we can infer that _______. A.Toby and Winnie are dangerous B.all pets are useful to people C.we can’t never be too careful in our daily life D.to help others sometimes can get reward

My favorite experience was our trip to Mount Rainer, an volcano near Seattle. Before we left, my uncle gave us hats to protect us from getting sunburned, I supposed that it will be very hot. When we drove up the mountain, I found the top covering with snow and ice! My uncle led me to a small path to increase our chances of seeing wildlife. Suddenly there appeared a field that small wild flowers grew up through the snow. Little animal stood still; tiny birds rose highly into the air. It was the most beautiful sight that I'd never seen
In China, a site that amazed me was one 1. (provide) by nature---the Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River, the mother river of the country.

Music is an art form which deals with the representation of emotion through the medium of sound. It can have a physical effect on us because it is closely linked with emotion, perhaps even more than the abstract nature of words. The number one reason why people listen to music is to adjust their emotional state. 1. Numerous studies leave us in no doubt that music can affect our mood state and stress level. 2. For example, they have found that background music shuts out distractions. It calms them before a large task and then they can stay focused for longer. Also it can help their creativity and make studying more enjoyable. 3. Firstly, it depends on what the task it. The more difficult the challenge is, the more likely background music will interrupt the learning process. For less challenging learning tasks, music can greatly assist in providing a positive learning state. Secondly, it depends on the characteristics of the music we'll come to in a moment. And thirdly, extroverts(性格外向者)enjoy and often require more external stimulation(刺激)and are likely to handle background noise better than those who are quiet and shy. Actually, it's not about the type of music, but the natural musical characteristics which aid or disrupt study. One of these characteristics is the tempo(拍子). The recommended tempo for background music is in the range 70-110 beats per minute, slightly faster than the heartbeat at rest. 4. And very slow music lowers the heartbeat, creating a state that might be too relaxed for study purposes. In addition, lyrics are the most distracting aspect of background musical listening.5.More particularly, studies have found that the most distracting background is fast and familiar vocal music, chosen and liked by the listener. A. Music is part of every culture in the world. B. In a very real sense, music connects us with our inner selves. C. They compete with the same brain regions that process language. D. Music, like language, is a unique human form of communication. E. Fast music raises the heartbeat , making one unable to focus on study. F. There are a few factors that determine the effects of music on studying. G. Moreover, those who like studying with background music have found a lot of benefits.
Modern inventions have speeded up people’s loves amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world inside a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts (吹嘘) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks. All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind on another time zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientist; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about. However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world. There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestor faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence. 1.The new products become more and more time-saving because __________. A.our love of speed seems never-ending B.time is limited C.the prices are increasingly high D.the manufactures boast a lot 2.What does “the days” in Paragraph 3 refer to ? A.Imaginary life. B.Simple life in the past. C.Times of inventions. D.Time for constant activity. 3.What is the author’s attitude towards the modern technology? A.Critical. B.Objective. C.Optimistic. D.Negative. 4.What does the passage mainly discuss? A.The present and past times. B.Machinery and human beings. C.Imaginations and inventions. D.Modern technology and its influence.
One way to prevent anxiety from getting out of control is to recognize its benefits. It is a mistake to think that we'd make better decisions if only we keep our feelings under control. Instead, a mix of feelings like anxiety and logical(合逻辑的) thinking leads to sound decision- making. It's true that there is plenty of research showing that higher levels of anxiety can make us more likely to avoid risks in our decision-making. There is also evidence that anxiety can increase the attention you pay to relevant information. Recent studies have shown that people who are anxious about their relationship (for example, they fear to be abandoned) tend to be better at recognizing people who tell lies and are more likely to raise the alarm when danger is present. In the real world though, it's worth realizing that feeling anxious once in a while is extremely common. It communicates to others that you care, and what's more, it's probably a sign that you are intelligent. At least two published studies have identified that people who score higher on measures of anxiety also tend to perform better on intelligence tests. This seems reasonable: if you're a thinker, you are sure to be always thinking about the future and imagine possible plots, including bad ones. The important thing, if you are a worrywart (杞人忧天者) , is not to let your fear destroy your dreams. And don't bury your head in the sand. Instead, act on your fears — do the research as well as preparation, so rather than walking blindly into that which you fear, you meet the challenge in full readiness. When anxiety beats you, or casts a shadow over your life, this is a serious problem. No one is denying that. But like everyday anxiety of this kind that you feel before a presentation or interview, you needn't see it as your enemy. Anxiety is an important feeling, developed through evolution. As for people who are fairly anxious by nature, there is reason for cheer, too. Your nerves (神经紧张) are a sign of your watchfulness. Listen to them and act on them. Then you can turn your nervousness into your advantage. 1.What can we infer from the first paragraph about anxiety? A.It can enable us to be more focused. B.It can stop us from thinking logically. C.It can make us more willing to take risks. D.It can be the only reason for all bad decisions. 2.What can we learn from the passage? A.Anxious people are less sensitive to danger. B.Anxious people have difficulty discovering liars. C.Feeling anxious is more likely to put people at risk. D.Feeling anxious occasionally is a sign of intelligence. 3.How should we deal with anxiety in the author's opinion? A.Regard it as our enemy. B.Take action to control it. C.Avoid being defeated by it. D.Treat it as a minor feeling. 4.What is the theme of the passage? A.Effective ways to prevent anxiety. B.Unexpected benefits of anxiety. C.Tips on how to keep a good mood. D.Common misunderstandings about anxiety.
At school, I was in the top set for maths. My teachers recommended that I study economics and statistics as my A-level subjects, but I had my mind set on a life fulfilled by the arts. In fact, I was a victim of a gender stereotype made stronger since birth, that men do science and maths and women do arts or languages. Computer science, technology and physics just did not figure in my teenage world view. Nobody popular in my school chose to study those subjects. Reality struck hard when I began attending job interviews and interviewers would say: “It’s great that you speak foreign languages, but what else do you do?” Nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology those questions. A survey recently showed that three of the best-paid jobs for women are in the technology sector. It’s a sector that really can change the world. We must show girls that technology has an effect on every industry out there, from fashion to architecture to journalism. Anybody can learn to code and these days it’s as important as reading and writing. I’ve realized that at university I’d achieved the wrong kind of literacy. Not being able to code limit your impact on the world far more than an ignorance of great literature. Now I have a five-year-old daughter. I don’t want her to blindly follow gender roles the way I did. I want her to know the fact that a science or technical degree will not limit her creativity but expand it and broaden her horizons far more than my arts background could. I’m exposing her to Minecraft and apps, which help improve analytical thinking and problem solving skills. I’m hoping that my daughter will discover and accept her potentials in science and want to change the world. 1.What does the underlined phrase “gender stereotype” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A.Personal learning style. B.Sex characteristic. C.Conventional sex concept. D.Profession difference. 2.According to the author, which may be the benefit of learning science? A.Increasing job possibility. B.Winning popularity. C.Improving language competence. D.Enriching imagination. 3.How did the author feel for her major choice? A.Satisfied. B.Active. C.Discouraged. D.Regretful. 4.What may be the best title for the text? A.Art or Science, Either is OK B.Good Subjects, Good Future C.Girls, Choose More Wisely D.Catch Chances, Change the World

In the 19th century, doctors tried to transfuse blood (输血)to patients who had lost blood in accidents or to try to save them. However, in most cases there would be a horrible reaction. When the donated blood mixed with the patient's own blood，it clotted (凝结)almost immediately. That stopped the circulation (循环)and the patient would die. Born on 14th June 1868，Karl Landsteiner，a doctor in Vienna, was very concerned about this. He knew there was something in the blood that caused reactions, but some people did manage to escape. Perhaps different people had different kinds of blood? He got a lot of blood samples (标本)from people, and mixed and matched them. Blood has two parts，the blood cells and the liquid serum(血清).You take blood cells from one person and mix them with the serum of another. If they react, the cells will clot and form a big lump. That means it is not safe to transfuse blood between these people. Landsteiner matched hundreds of samples like this，to find out who was safe for whom and who wasn’t. In fact, there were blood groups now called A, B, AB and O. So what was going on in the blood? All our red blood cells have sugar molecules(糖分子) that are stuck on their surfaces. The red blood cells of people with group A have one kind of sugar, while those with B have another. People with AB have both of these while people with O have none. People with the A blood group have a chemical substance called anti-B, while those of B blood group have anti-A in their serum. People with AB group have neither anti-A nor anti-B, while people with O have both. If you were B group and got blood from an A person,the anti- A in your blood would cause all the cells with A-sugar on them to clot immediately, stopping the circulation of blood. In 1907, Dr. Reuben Outenberg carried out the first safe blood transfusion by matching blood groups. Blood transfusion became quite common from then on. And it helped saved thousands of lives in the First World War. 1.What does the passage mainly talk about? A.Accidents in blood transfusion. B.The discovery of blood groups. C.Who Karl Landsteiner is.
