27、   People do not like being separated from their mobile phones, even while enjoying a restful holiday at the beach. However. the phone battery may become exhausted completely. If that happens, they have no choice but to connect the phone to the power supply. But it's impossible to get the battery charged (充电)at the beach. What's worse, the hot sun is shining right overhead and the water in the bottle is sure to reach a very high temperature.

Antoine Sayah, a university student from Lebanon. developed a special beach mat called the Beachill. It looks similar to the ordinary beach mat and will cause back pain as well. However, the device can recharge any mobile phone. It is designed to be water-resistant(防水的)and has a 5-watt solar panel, which provides power continuously. The mat also has the refrigeration equipment that can help keep drinks cool, just like the refrigerator.

Antoine Sayah began selling the Beachill on the Internet for $150. He says he has been surprised at the reaction worldwide. "I have got orders for the device from Brazil, Toronto, all over Europe, especially France, America, from all continents.” The Beachill is also gaining popularity in other places, like swimming pools and boats.

Some people like the mat because itis lightweight and easy-to-carry. Rita Mathieu bought one of the Beachills. “When I am on the beach, I used to look around for a charger and never managed to find any and the water never stays cool," she says. “So this kind of beach mat is wonderful and has everything in it, even a pocket where I can put a book.

28、   As with many etymologies(词源), the exact root of this word is difficult to say with one hundred percent certainty. However, the leading theory is extremely believable and backed up by a fair bit of documented evidence. Specially, it is thought that a dollar is called a “buck” thanks to deer.

One of the earliest references of this was in 1748, 44 years before the first US dollar was created, where there is a reference to the exchange rate for a cast of alcoholic drink traded to Native Americans being “5 bucks”, referring to deerskin.

In yet another documented reference from 1748, about Conrad Weiser, while traveling through present day Ohio, noted in his journal that someone had been “robbed of the value of 300 Bucks”.

At this time , a buck skin was a common medium of exchange. There is also evident that a “buck” didn’t simply mean one deerskin, but may have meant multiple skin, depending on quality. For instance, skin from deer killed in the winter were considered superior to those killed in the summer, due to the fur being thicker. It is thought that the highest quality skins generally had a one to one value at a single buck. The specific value for given sets of skins was then set at trading. In addition, when the skin was from another animal, the number of skins required to equal a buck varied based on the animal and the quality of the skins. For instance, there is one documented trade where twelve high-quality rabbit skin equaled one buck.

This use of skins as a medium of exchange gradually die off over the next century as more and more Europeans moved in and built towns and cities. Once the US dollar was officially introduced after the passing of the Coinage Act of 1782, it quickly became the leading item used as a medium of exchange, but the term “buck” stuck around and by the mid-nineteenth century was being used as an informal term for dollar.

【1】It can be inferred from the text that _______.

A.the first dollar was made from a deerskin

B.a skin from any animal was valued at a buck

C.the quality of a deerskin varied with the change of seasons.

D.deerskins were the only medium for trading in the 1970s

【2】When did the use of skins as a common medium of exchange die off?

A.As more and more Europeans settled in America.

B.When the Coinage Act of 1792 was passed.

C.When the bucks died out in the 1950s.

D.As the US dollar was officially introduced.

【3】The author develops this text mainly by _______.

A.analyzing causes B.following the order of importance

C.making comparison D.following the order of time

【4】The text is mainly about_______.

A.when the dollar first appeared B.why a dollar is called a buck

C.What a dollar was worth in the past D.how the word dollar came into being

29、An intelligent monitoring system is helping bird protectors in Chenhu Lake Wetland of Wuhan, Hubei province, by collecting data and learning more about the birds’ habits.

The wetland covers about 11,600 hectares and is located in the area where the Yangtze River and Han River meet. Up to 86,000 birds of 227 species inhabited the wetland last year, its figures showed.

A limited number of bird-watchers and patrol guards may miss out counting some of the birds but the system can do it more accurately, according to the reserve. In July last year, the monitoring system, the first of its kind in Hubei, was put into trial(试验)operation in the wetland. It has since recorded real-time monitoring data and assisted with patrolling. The system can detect the type of birds arriving or leaving and which areas they prefer to move around, by identifying species through the sounds they make. It also monitors sounds in the wild and compares them with those in the database.

A video system tracks key protection areas all day. Photos of birds taken will be automatically compared with those in the database, with a combination of audio and video information increasing the recognition accuracy. The reserve’s employees have also added tracking functions in the monitoring system by placing satellite trackers on bean geese migrating. Bean geese have been found to fly from Russian areas.

Feng Jiang, an engineer of the Chenhu wetland nature reserve management bureau, said, “The tracking data has a positive effect on the protection of species globally. Since November last year, we have tried to clarify the migration routes of birds. We monitor where they stay and when they return to the reserve. The data tells us where birds come from and pass by, so we can cooperate with international organizations or countries to better protect them.”

The monitoring system also uses digital technology to build a simulation (模拟) model. By simulating the flow of tourists, researchers can decide the maximum number of visitors in Chenhu Lake and prevent people from disturbing the birds. This can help researchers predict as well the possibility and scope (范围) of the environmental impact on the wetland through the growth of plants there and roll out targeted measures.

【1】What is a problem with bird-monitoring in the reserve?

A．Vast area.

B．Lack of experts.

C．Lack of accuracy.

D．Various species.

【2】What is the intelligent monitoring system able to do?

A．Monitor the watchers and guards.

B．Recognize the species of birds.

C．Place satellite trackers on birds.

D．Count all the birds correctly.

【3】How does the system work?

A．By comforting the birds.

B．By making birds’ sounds.

C．By taking photos of birds.

D．By comparing the collected data.

【4】What does the system do to help researchers?

A．Provide birds’ food chains.

B．Prevent the disturbance of birds.

C．Predict the habits of the visitors.

D．Protect the ecosystems in a better way.

The businessman smiled at me and said, “Why would I let someone else control what I say and what I feel or what kind of day I’m going to have?”

We then_______ to go to our respective work places. To this day, I don’t know anything about that business man. But I’ve never_______ the words he said or the way his smile seemed like a ray of light on a gloomy day. That was a good deed 25 years ago, but the______ this had on my life has lasted. I never had a_______ to thank him personally, but the way in which I choose to look at life as a result of those words is his legacy (遗赠) to me and my thanks to him.

We cannot control people and situations that come to us, but we can always control our response to them. And in such_______ decisions lie our control and personal power to make a positive difference. And it’s something anyone and everyone can do.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。

Freddie woke up to see it was snowing-again. The world outside was white. Snow covered the roads, the cars, the houses, and even the driveway Freddie had just shoveled（铲）the day before.

“Ugh,” said Freddie. “No more snow!” He got out of bed and headed to the bathroom for his regular morning shower. As he reached for the taps, his mother appeared in the doorway.

“I’ve got news,” she said. “There’s been so much snow overnight that the roads are slippery and dangerous. I just heard on the radio that they canceled the school buses for the day.”

Freddie groaned（抱怨）. “Then how am I supposed to get to school?”

His mom grinned（咧着嘴笑）. “I guess you don’t. It’s a snow day!”

Freddie’s eyes lit up. He’d never had a snow day off from school before. What would he do first?

“I’m going back to bed!” Freddie headed back to his room and climbed under the covers. After a few minutes, he realized that it was too late. He was already wide awake. He headed down to the kitchen and then sat at the table, watching his father fry the eggs over in the pan and his mother pour juice and coffee. It was relaxing, thought Freddie.

After breakfast his mother suggested he go out and build a snowman. Freddie wasn’t too sure. He didn’t really like the cold and the snow. He’d rather stay inside and play video games.

“You can play afterward, but how about going outside for a little bit? It’s good to get some fresh air, and who knows, you might even enjoy yourself.” Freddie unwillingly put on the warm clothes and headed outside.

Standing alone in the front yard, with the cold wind blowing, was not Freddie’s idea of a good time. Knowing his mom meant what she said, the boy sighed, thinking the quicker he completed his snowman, the faster he could go back inside to his video games. He set to work packing up some snow into a large ball.

Moments later, he saw one of his friends appearing from his house up the street. Dion waddled（蹒跚行走）out in his big snow trousers and heavy overcoat. He waved to Freddie.

“Hey there! I saw you out here and thought you might want company. Snow days are awesome!” Dion laughed.
