26、Feel the Music

We've all heard of smart phones, but how about smart clothing? The CuteCircuit company has stepped up the technology beat and invented the SoundShirt, which was designed specifically for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.How does this incredible shirt work?

First, let's talk about a little science.People who have either all or some hearing loss don't actually listen to music the way that hearing people do, but they can feel it.Sound is made up of vibrations, called sound waves, which hearing people can hear through their ears with the help of the brain.What's really cool is that deaf people sense vibrations in the part of the brain that others use for hearing!

So how is this remarkable technology able to function? First, CuteCircuit had to figure out a way to send signals to the body, kind of like how you can feel when your phone vibrates in silentmode.Those connections the body can feel are called haptics, a use of technology that simulates the senses of touch and motion.The SoundShirt has tiny sensors woven into the shirt to pick up sound and transfer signals to the brain and body.

To test this music-to-shirt-to-wearer's brain connection, CuteCircuit set microphones around the stage of a symphony orchestra.The shirt's computer system digitally received the sounds coming from the instruments.Then the sensors, working like little motors, changed the signals into vibrations and the shirt wearer's brain did the rest.

The SoundShirt lets people who are deaf or hard of hearing enjoy music in a unique way.The very deep musical sound, or pitch, of instruments like drums and basses vibrates in the lower part of the shirt.Higher pitched sounds from instruments like the flute or violin vibrate higher, around the neck and arms.As the music plays, the sensations combine while the brain gets to work putting together all the different vibrations, allowing the wearer to “hear” the concert.

You might think this innovation(创新)would look like something out of a science fiction movie, but in fact, these shirts are wireless! And the decorative laser-lined design on the shirt looks like an image of sound waves.

Technology's purpose is to help people and make life better.Think of all the amazing things designers, engineers, and producers of wearable tech will be able to do for humankind.

【1】What can be inferred about the SoundShirt described in the passage?

A.The SoundShirt works when the wearer is listening to a symphony orchestra.

B.CuteCircuit is giving away its SoundShirts to those deaf or hard of hearing.

C.The SoundShirt doesn't work without the power of the human brain.

D.Before the SoundShirt, deaf people had no way of feeling sound.

【2】What's the passage mainly about?

A.Deep musical sounds from drums vibrate in the lower part of the SoundShirt.

B.The SoundShirt lets people who are deaf or hard of hearing enjoy music.

C.Wearable technology like the SoundShirt is the wave of the future.

D.CuteCircut tested the SoundShirt with a symphony orchestra.

【3】The author probably wrote this passage to_________.

A.advise that companies should focus on applying wearable technology

B.advocate that technology can be used to create products that help others

C.prove that the design of wearable technology is a rewarding industry in future

D.exemplify that musical instruments can be used to change technology for the better

27、   Lewis Carroll was the pen-name o£ Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, an English writer and author of two of the best loved children's books in English literature — Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. The characters and phrases from these books have entered and become part of the English lexicon (词典) in a way that was comparable to those from Shakespeare's works.

Charles Dodgson was born on January 27,1832 and spent the first eleven years of his life at Warrington. Dodgson was educated first by homeschooling, then at boarding schools in Richmond and at Rugby, and finally at Charist Church College, Oxford. In later life, he remembered his boarding school experience with no fondness. Still, he was an excellent student and did very well academically throughout. For all his brilliance or perhaps because of it, he couldn't be bothered to spend long hours studying and so he didn't. If things came easily, that was fine; if they didn't, well, that doesn't seem to have bothered him overmuch.

His book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland first came into being in 1862 as a story he made up for Alice Liddell, the ten-year-old daughter of his friend Dean Henry Liddell. Later he wrote it down and showed the book, illustrated with his own drawings, to another friend, the fairy tale writer George Macdonald and his children. They loved it and enthusiastically urged him to get it published. Accordingly, Dodgson revised it for publication. And in 1865, with illustrations more professionally done by Sir John Tenniel, it became an immediate bestseller. Its sequel (续集) Through the Looking-Glass proved equally popular.

【1】What does paragraph 1 intend to tell us?

A．Charles Dodgson was more famous than Shakespeare.

B．Charles Dodgson had great achievements in literature.

C．Charles Dodgson once worked on the English lexicon.

D．Charles Dodgson was a writer with a few works.

【2】What do we know about Charles Dodgson from paragraph 2?

A．He was a hard-working student.

B．He struggled with his studies,

C．He received very little schooling.

D．He performed high study efficiency.

【3】What probably led to the publication of Alice's Adventures in Wonderlands

A．The persuasion from George Macdonald.

B．The help from Dean Henry Liddell.

C．The guidance of Sir John Tenniel.

D．The demand of a publisher.

【4】When Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland first came into being, Charles Dodgson ________.

A．had a little boy as its main character

B．wrote it just for his children

C．was sure it could be popular

D．didn't expect it to be published

28、In Silent Spring, a book that she referred to as her “poison book”, Rachel Carson revealed the damaging effects of the abuse of chemical pesticides on the environment. She focused mainly on the insecticide DDT, which had been considered “one of the greatest discoveries of World War II” for its ability to kill insects and was routinely used in homes and on crops. 

Carson called for much greater caution against this great discovery. Though the scientific community already knew of the dangers, Carson was the first to make the information accessible to a mass audience in her book. “She wrote for the general public, not the scientific community,” says Linda Lear, author of Rachel Carson: Witness for Nature. “Readers, including housewives who used a lot of these chemicals, were shocked at what they learned.”

The public’s first taste of Silent Spring actually came in June 1962 when The New Yorker ran three excerpts(节选). By the time it was published that fall, it was in such high demand that it became an instant bestseller.

As expected, the reaction from the chemical companies was severe. One industry spokesperson dismissed Carson’s claims as “absurd”. Others accused her of being a terrible woman. The president of the company that made DDT said Carson wrote “not as a scientist, but as a crazy defender of the balance of nature.”

Fortunately, Carson decided the personal risks were worth it. Shortly after her book was published, President Kennedy was asked at a conference if the government would look into the long-term effects of pesticides. He responded, “Yes, and I know they already are. I think, particularly, of course, since Miss Carson’s book.” Just as William Souder, author of On a Farther Shore: The Life and Legacy of Rachel Carson, says, “Carson changed the conversation about the environment, thinking of humankind as part of nature, not above it.”

【1】Who might be the intended readers of Silent Spring?

A．Environmentalists.

B．Ordinary people.

C．Scientists.

D．Businessmen.

【2】What does the underlined word “dismissed” mean in paragraph 4?

A．Criticized.

B．Recognized.

C．Abandoned.

D．Praised.

【3】What can we infer from the text?

A．The profit of human beings should come first.

B．Silent Spring enjoyed great popularity before 1962.

C．Carson was the first to discover the danger of DDT.

D．William Souder thinks highly of Carson and her book.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．DDT: One of the Greatest Discoveries in the World

B．Rachel Carson: Introducing Readers to the Natural World

C．A “Poison Book”: Awakening the World to the Danger of DDT

D．Silent Spring: Winning the Approval of People from all Walks of Life

32、阅读下面,材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

On one glorious morning after having breakfast at home, my cousin, Ana and her family suddenly appeared at my home's front door. I quickly invited the whole family to come in. Ana is my closest cousin. Naturally I was very happy and delighted to have Ana with me. That afternoon, my parents and Ana's family decided to buy some branded items on a big year-end sale at the mall. Ana and I stayed at home. Unfortunately, my parents did not prepare any dinner for us.

We came to the kitchen and saw a packet of flour. So Ana suggested baking some pancakes. Ana told me that she seldom cook at home and baking a pancake is impossible for her. I told her I was neither a good cook nor a good baker. Feeling quite hungry, we still decided to bake pancakes by ourselves.

First, Ana and I put the flour into a special bowl and mixed it with hot water. Next, we kneaded（揉）the dough（面团）until it became hard and we could not press it anymore. Then, we put it into a microwave oven（微波炉）. Within minutes, we saw that the dough did not expand and got burnt. Oh gosh! We had to take it out. We tried sharing a piece. Imagine our new “pancake”. It was tasteless and very hard. We thought we were eating parts of steel.
