24、How long are you willing to wait for a webpage to open before you start to lose your patience? Half a minute? A few seconds?
Google engineers have discovered that even 400 milliseconds ― as short as the blink (眨眼) of an eye ― is too long for most Internet users.
A millisecond is one thousandth of a second. People hardly notice such a small time difference, but it does cause them to stop searching, reported The New York Times.
“Of course you don’t like to wait,” said Arvind Jain, a Google engineer. “Every millisecond matters.”
Now, millions of smart-phones and computers are always sending out information. With so many people downloading (下载) maps, sports videos, news and restaurant recommendations, you can get online “traffic jams (交通阻塞)”. Users are expecting faster and faster service.
Google found that if one website is 250 milliseconds slower than another website, then people will visit it less often. This is why technology companies try their best to be the fastest.
Achieving a higher speed has always been part of the history of the Internet.
In the 1990s, when the World Wide Web first started to become popular, it was very crowded and slow; people called it the “World Wide Wait”. But engineers managed to fight the problem with new inventions. They improved software so it would work more smoothly; they made computer servers all around the world nearer to users; all these increased speed.
Now we can enjoy much faster Internet. Major search engines (引擎) such as Google and Microsoft’s Bing usually find search results in less than a second. But they will need to keep fighting to keep up with the developing needs of Internet users.
【1】What does the report of The New York Times indicate (暗示)?
A. A millisecond is one thousandth of a second.
B. A millisecond has nothing to do with the Internet speed.
C. A millisecond really makes a difference to the Internet users.
D. 400 milliseconds is not so long for most Internet users.
【2】How does the writer feel about the future of the Internet speed?
A. Excited. B. Interested.
C. Confident. D. Discouraged.
【3】What can be the best title of this passage?
A. Don’t make me “www.wait”.
B. Search engines work faster.
C. Traffic jams keep us waiting.
D. The World Wide Web becomes popular.
25、 Traffic is not just up set for drivers, but it can be dangerous for walkers and bike riders.
You might have been a pedestrian before when you were walking to school or to a friend’s house. If you are walking near traffic, always use the side walk. Avoid walking on the edge of the sidewalk. Walk closer to buildings just to give some extra room between yourself and traffic.
What if you need to get to a different side of street? Use something called crosswalk. This is a lane that protects pedestrians. There are traffic signals at a crosswalk that will tell you when it is safe to walk and when you should wait. Even if the sign says it is safe, always look in both directions to make sure a car isn’t coming.
Sometimes you might want to ride your bike to go to visit a friend or to school. There are some important things to remember when traveling by bike to stay safe from traffic.
Always wear brightly-colored clothing. If it is dark outside and you are wearing dark clothes, a driver may not be able to see you. Use reflectors on you bike. These are small pieces of plastic that can be fitted on your tires, front handles, and other areas of your bike. They reflect the light from car headlights so that drivers can see you.
Ride your bike in the same direction as the traffic. And don’t think that traffic lights and signals are just for those driving cars! They are important for you too. So always pay close attention.
【1】If you are a pedestrian trying to get to the other side of the street, you should ________ to be safe.
A.walk on the edge of the sidewalk B.use the crosswalk
C.walk closer to buildings D.use the bike lane
【2】Which is the following statement is true?
A.When the sign is safe, just cross the road.
B.When the sign is safe, you should wait.
C.When the sign is safe, you also need to look in both directions to make sure a car isn’t coming.
D.Traffic lights and signals are just for cars.
【3】When riding a bike around traffic, what should you wear?
A.A black jacket. B.Brightly-colored clothes.
C.A dark helmet(头盔)and a suit. D.A dark T-shirt and jeans.
【4】The underlined word ‘reflectors ‘in the passage means "________" in Chinese.
A.反光镜 B.保险杠 C.货物架 D.挡泥板
【5】What is the main purpose of writing the passage?
A.To ask more people to use the sidewalk safely.
B.To show why traffic can be dangerous to people.
C.To tell us how to travel be bike to stay safe from traffic.
D.To introduce some ways to stay safe when you are around traffic.
26、 How can you change negative ( 极其负面的) thoughts? Many people suggest thinking of something bright and happy. However, scientists from Queen’s University in Canada said that there might be another way: by walking like a happy person.
“It is not surprising that our feeling affects how we walk, but we want to see whether the way we move also affects how we feel,” explained Nikolaus Troje, the lead scientist, to The Independent.
Scientists believe that the way we remember emotional ( 情绪的) messages is affected by our mood. Those who feel sad remember negative information far more easily than positive messages, especially when the information is about them.
In order to prove(证明)this, Troje and his team watched 47 people walking on the treadmill (跑步机) by cameras. Half of the people were encouraged to follow a depressive walking style, while the other half moved like a happy person. Walking speed was kept the same for both groups.
Meanwhile, the scientists read out a list of positive and negative words, asking people to decide whether or not each word described them well. Afterwards, people were asked to recall as many words as they could remember.
As expected, those who followed a depressed walk recalled more negative words than those that walk in a happy manner.
This shows that our walk influences the way we deal with information. And the scientists believe that using a happy walking style could help with treatment for depression.
【1】Scientists from Queen’s University think that we can change negative thoughts by .
A.remembering emotional messages B.thinking about a happy person
C.walking like a happy person D.hanging out with friends
【2】What does the underlined word “depressive” mean in Paragraph 4?
A.快乐的 B.快速的 C.慢的 D.抑郁的
【3】What do we know about Troje’s test?
A.Scientists took photos of the walking styles of 47 people.
B.47 people recalled all the words after walking.
C.47 people were asked to walk at different speeds.
D.Those who walked like a happy man recalled more positive words than those that followed a depressed walk.
【4】According to the story, the scientists’ findings can help .
A.treat depressed patients B.improve one’s acting skills
C.deal with memory loss D.encourage people to exercise
27、Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turn around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!
Parapsychologists(灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a “six sense” really exists, Robert Baker, a psycholog-ist(心理学家) at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.
In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects (受试者) were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was
sitting behind them during those periods. Later when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.
For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt themselves being stared at and when they weren’t. Baker found the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren’t.
Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they are being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”
【1】What’s the aim of the two experiments for?
A. Prove why humans have a sixth sense.
B. Explain when people can have a sixth sense.
C. Show how people act while being watched in the lab.
D. Study whether humans can sense when they are stared at.
【2】What sense do parapsychologists say that humans have?
A. A natural ability B. A natural staring ability
C. A strange thinking D. A looking feeling
【3】The underlined word “outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means?
A. Value B. Result
C. Performance D. Connection
【4】In the second experiment, the subjects ________.
A. could tell when they were stared at and when they weren’t.
B. couldn’t tell when they were stared at and when they aren’t
C. couldn’t tell when they were stared at but could tell when they weren’t.
D. could tell when they were stared at but couldn’t tell when they weren’t.
【5】What can we learn from the passage?
A. People are born with a sixth sense.
B. The experiments support parapsychologists’ idea.
C. The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.
D. People have a sixth sense in all places.
