26、Keeping Safe in Your House During a Fire

Though you may not think you’ll ever fall victim to a house fire, it’s better to be prepared to avoid panicking. To increase your chances of survival, just follow these steps.

React as soon as you hear your smoke alarm go off. On hearing your smoke detector or alarm going off and seeing a fire, exit your home as safely as possible. 【1】 Your only concern is to get out of there as fast as possible. Nothing else is as important as this. You should be getting yourself and your family members out safely.

Safely exit through doors. If you don’t see smoke at the door, open it slowly and pass through it after making sure the door feels cool. If there is a fire preventing you from exiting the room, close the door.

Protect yourself from smoke inhalation (吸入浓烟). Get low to the floor and crouch or crawl on your hands and knees to avoid the smoke. 【2】 Cover your nose and mouth if you have to walk by or through a room filled with heavy smoke.

【3】 If your clothes catch fire, immediately stop what you’re doing, drop flat onto the ground, and roll around until you put the fire out.

Prevent the smoke if you can’t get out. 【4】 Close your door and cover all vents (通风口 ) and cracks (缝隙) around it with cloth or tape to keep smoke out. Whatever you do, don’t panic. You can always reclaim some measures of control, even if you feel trapped.

Call for help from a second­story window. 【5】 You can take a sheet or something else—white preferably—and hang it out the window to signify that you need help when the first responder get there.

A．If you can’t escape your home, don’t panic.

B．Stop, drop, and roll if your clothes catch fire.

C．You are probably a lot safer by closing doors.

D．Escape from a second­story window if you can.

E．Smoke inhalation causes people to become unconscious.

F．Do not try to get your phone, valuables, or your other important possessions.

G．If you are trapped in your second­story room, get to an area where people can find you.

27、Computers have become amazingly exact at translating spoken words to text messages and searching a large supply of valuable information for answers to difficult questions. At least, that is, so long as you speak English or other world's main languages. But try talking to your phone in Yoruba, Igbo or any number of widely spoken African languages and you'll find difficulty in accessing information, trade and other benefits of the global tech economy.

American tech giants don't have a long history of making their language technology work well outside the wealthiest markets, a problem that has also made it harder for them to discover dangerous misinformation on their platforms. Google, for instance, upset members of the Yoruba community when its language app mistranslated a nice African god as a devil. Part of the reason is that there's just not enough online data in those languages for the Al systems to effectively learn how to get better at understanding them.

“We are getting to the point where if a machine doesn't understand your language, it will be like it never existed,” said Vukosi Marivate, who has devoted some of his Al research to the southern African languages of Xitsonga and Setswana. “Considering our history, some of the bias (偏见) is intentional. The history of the African continent and in general in colonized (殖民化的) countries, is that when language had to be translated, it was translated in a very narrow way,” Marivate added.

However, Google and Microsoft are among the companies that say they are trying to improve technology for so-called "low-resource" languages that Al systems don't have enough data for. Computer scientists at Meta announced a breakthrough on the path to a "universal translator" that could translate multiple languages at once and work better with lower-resourced languages. Meanwhile, Marivate and other researchers have founded a research project across Africa. Increasingly, people are joining hands to develop a variety of language approaches.

【1】What can we learn from Paragraphs 1 and 2?

A．Yoruba and Igbo are widely spoken in the world.

B．English speakers fail to access online information.

C．The online data of African languages is limited.

D．Computers can translate all text messages exactly.

【2】Why does the author mention “Google” in Paragraph 2?

A．To make a prediction.

B．To draw a comparison.

C．To reach a conclusion.

D．To give an example.

【3】What is Marivate's attitude towards “American tech giants”?

A．Friendly.

B．Unconcerned.

C．Dissatisfied.

D．Proud.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Joint Efforts to Improve AI in African Languages

B．Computers Good at Translating Spoken Language

C．US Tech Giants Misunderstand African Languages

D．African Researchers Exchange Ideas with Tech Giants

28、Scientists have long said getting a good night's sleep is important to your health. The U.S. National Institute of Health says lack of sleep may even increase the risk of impaired brain activity, or cognitive decline(认知减退), and Alzheimer's disease.

Now, an American team of scientists reports that too much sleep might be similarly linked to such conditions.

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, did the sleep study. Their findings were published in the September issue of the scientific publication Brain.

Dr. Brendan Lucey is director of the Washington University Sleep Medicine Center and led the research. He said, "Our study suggests that there is a middle range(区间), or ‘sweet spot,' for total sleep time" for best cognitive performance.

"Short and long sleep times were associated with worse cognitive performance, perhaps due to insufficient(不足的) sleep or poor sleep quality, " Lucey added.

Other studies have shown that lack of sleep was linked with cognitive decline. A small 2018 study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that losing just one night of sleep led to an increase in beta-amyloid production. Beta-amyloid is a metabolic(新陈代谢的) waste product found in between brain cells. It has been long linked to brain disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease.

The National Sleep Foundation advises that healthy adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep per night. Babies, young children, and teens need even more sleep for their growth and development. And people over 65 should also get seven to eight hours per night, the foundation says.

One unanswered question from the Washington University study is whether increasing sleep time for short sleepers would help their cognitive performance.

But lead writer Lucey said each person's sleep needs are individual. If people feel rested, there is no need to change how they sleep. But those who are not sleeping well should know that sleep problems often can be treated, Lucey said.

Dr. David Holtzman, another top researcher on the study, added, "It suggests that sleep quality may be key, as opposed to simply total sleep."

【1】What does the underlined word impaired in paragraph 1 mean?

A．varied

B．astonished

C．damaged

D．endangered

【2】What does the Washington University study suggest?

A．Neither too much nor too little time is the best for people’s cognitive performance.

B．People getting at least eight hours of sleep every night have the best cognitive performance.

C．Lack of sleep will cause cognitive decline, and Alzheimer's disease.

D．Sleep quality is the key factor that is linked with cognitive decline.

【3】Who need the most sleep time according to the National Sleep Foundation?

A．Senior citizens

B．Adults

C．Teenagers

D．Researchers

【4】What’s Dr. David Holtzman’s attitude toward the Washington University study ?

A．Acceptable

B．Disapproving

C．Surprised

D．Uninterested

29、It is said that many brain training products is able to keep us mentally(精神的) fit. Some products even claim that brain training can prevent dementia (痴呆) in old age. Many such products are only money-making rubbish. Also, there is no scientific proof that games or other brain exercises can have this effect(影响). That is what the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) pointed out.

As we get older, our thinking gets slower and it is harder for us to learn new things. Many people try to stay mentally fit by, for example, learning a new language or doing crossword puzzles. Computer games that aim to keep the brain active are also becoming increasingly popular. “Doing exercises like trying to find symbols on a computer screen as fast as possible can actually improve your reaction time,” explains Professor Peter Sawicki, the Institute’s Director. “But scientific studies have shown that brain training only leads to an improvement in one aspect that it is aimed at. So if you learn to find symbols quickly, it does not mean that you will be able to improve your memory.”

Research has not shown that brain training can keep up or enhance (加强) people’s overall mental abilities as commonly thought. “So there is no need to feel bad if you do not enjoy brain training: there are no health reasons for doing it,” says Sawicki. “But if you think brain training exercises are interesting, you can try out different things. For example, completing the order of letters can improve your logic skills. And practicing word association techniques can help you to remember things better. You can do all of these things at home on your own.”

【1】What can we learn about the brain training products according to the passage?

A．They are expensive.

B．They are effective.

C．They are not reliable（可信的）.

D．They are harmful to the brain.

【2】According to Peter Sawicki, brain training exercises can________.

A．only improve your reaction time

B．help all people improve their memory

C．keep the brain active for a longer time

D．only improve a certain ability of people

【3】The last paragraph shows that brain training exercises should be done_______.

A．when your thinking gets much slower

B．under strict instructions (指导)

C．when you can’t learn new things

D．in a relaxing way

【4】On the whole, researchers think that brain training exercises_______.

A．shouldn’t be encouraged

B．aren’t as effective as commonly thought

C．may benefit people in some indirect ways

D．are just designed for young people to have fun
