27、   New climate-control jackets have helped people stay warm in subzero conditions, and even made cows comfortable enough to produce more milk. But it all began with an Indian graduate’s simple wish for clothing that could be used for both the cold Boston winters and heated MIT campus rooms. Now, the MIT graduated company has begun selling the jackets and other clothes that allow wearers to control their level of comfort without adding or removing layers. “Our products can go from 0°C to 100 °C in the push of a button,” said Vistakula, founder and CEO of the company. “We have four levels of heating and four levels of cooling that include low, medium, high and very high.”

When electricity runs through the junction where two different metals meet, it creates a temperature difference so that one side heats up and the other side cools down. Such heat-exchange equipment also needs fans to blow away the heat. “We were able to reduce the weight and get rid of the need for a fan,” Vistakula told Innovation News Daily. “That made it very suitable to put it into clothes.”

The current clothing runs on a range of laptop batteries (电池) that can support up to eight hours of hot or cold comfort. Aside from shoes, jackets and bike helmets, the startup also sells knee and elbow packs that provide hot or cold therapy (疗法) for aching joints. That’s just the beginning, as the 20-person team tries many new and different applications (应用) in the search to find what works. They have their eyes set on a “HaemoSave” application that could use freezing temperatures to control bleeding, and pain during medical emergencies. “That’s at a very early stage,” Vistakula explained.

“It works for superficial (表面的) wounds, but we have to do deeper wounds and see what happens.” In another case, tests with jackets adapted for cows succeeded in enabling the cows to produce more milk. But the current costs mean that farmers can’t afford such equipment - at least not until the company scales up its production and lowers the price.

It’s an ambitious goal, but their confidence is supported by the startup’s innovation (创新) philosophy. “Nature has been innovating for billions of years, so you just have to look in the right place,” Vistakula said. “If you go looking for answers, you’ll find them.”

【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A.The technology were first designed to control climate.

B.The clothing is user-friendly with a simple push of button.

C.The clothing runs on batteries that can last at least eight hours.

D.The clothing needs fans to create a temperature difference.

【2】According to Vistakula, next they have to test whether HaemoSave can ________.

A.be applied to reduce pain B.be used to control bleeding

C.function for deeper wounds D.make body temperatures low

【3】It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A.the technology doesn’t work well in practice

B.the technology can be widely applied in life

C.the company will increase production to meet market needs

D.the company is now facing a very uncertain future

【4】What can we conclude from what Vistakula said in the last paragraph?

A.We can probably innovate anything in nature.

B.Innovation should be encouraged to protect nature.

C.It has taken billions of years for nature to change.

D.We should innovate as it agrees with Nature.

29、The average American child spends three to five hours a day watching TV. In 1961, the average child began to watch television at age three; however, today it is nine months. Yet, most parents think that television has a bad influence on their children. For example, in the early 1970s, my parents believed that my bad eyesight was the result of sitting too close to the screen, and they therefore made my stay at least six feet from it. Today, most people have no such worry, but many new ridiculous (荒谬的) sayings have appeared:

*TV makes kids stupid. Many children watch more educational programs when they are pre-schoolers. When they grow up, they can read more books and have much better ideas to solve difficult problems than other children.

*TV makes kids violent. The real story is not so simple. Hundreds of studies show that watching violence on TV makes children more aggressive (好斗的). But a study of over 5,000 children also finds that some positive programs make children kinder. The problem is that kids are increasingly watching shows with violence instead of those suitable for their age.

*Sitting around watching TV makes kids overweight. An experiment finds that when children watch less television, they do lose extra weight; however, reducing their television time does not make them more active. The real problem lies in snacking (吃零食), a widespread habit for kids, and junk-food advertisements.

*TV helps kids get to sleep. The opposite is true. The more television children watch, the more likely they are to have irregular sleep and nap(小睡) patterns. Allowing kids to watch television is part of the problem, not the solution.

【1】Which one is the advantage of educational TV programs?

A. They will make children solve difficult problems better than others.

B. They will improve children’s ability to get along with others.

C. They are likely to make children more aggressive.

D. They will make sure of children’s success in the future.

【2】Why are children spending much time watching TV likely to be fat?

A. Watching TV makes children lazy and inactive.

B. Children are attracted by the food advertisement on TV.

C. Watching TV doesn’t burn up as much fat as doing sports.

D. Children like to snack while watching TV.

【3】What influence does watching TV have on a child’s sleep?

A. Children are likely to sleep deeper after watching TV.

B. Children’s sleep time will be greatly reduced.

C. It will make children form a bad habit of sleeping.

D. It will make children sleep easier.

【4】What is the purpose of this text?

A. To increase people’s knowledge of watching TV.

B. To warn parents of the disadvantages of watching TV.

C. To explain the bad influences that watching TV has on children.

D. To correct parents’ wrong ideas of television’s effect on children.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Scientists have proved what students have long suspected: Maths equations can actually trigger physical pain.

Regions of the brain linked with the experience of physical 【1】 were activated in those fearful of maths when they were presented with a tough equation, researchers have found. The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more it 【2】 activity in regions of their brain associated with visceral (内脏的) threat detection, and often the experience of pain itself.

However, the researchers say their study examines the pain response associated with anticipating an anxiety-provoking event, rather than the pain associated with a 【3】 event itself. A maths task itself is not painful but 【4】 the thought of it is highly unpleasant to certain people.

“Maths can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMAs), math is associated with tension, apprehension (忧虑) and fear,” the researchers said in their paper titled. When Math Hurts. “【5】, this relation was not seen during math performance, 【6】 that it is not that math itself hurts, rather, the anticipation of math is painful. These results may also provide a potential neural mechanism to explain why (people with) HMAs tend to 【7】 math and math-related situations, which in turn can bias (使有偏见) (those with) high levels of mathematics-anxiety away from taking math classes or even entire math-related 【8】 paths. We provide the first neural 【9】 indicating the nature of the subjective experience of math-anxiety.

Other forms of psychological stress, such as social 【10】 or a traumatic break-up, can also elicit feeling of physical pain.”

32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。

Nowadays, most citizens especially those who live in the metropolis(大都市), have to face the traffic jam everyday, which has become one of the major problems in the city.

There are many reasons for traffic jams. At first, because of the fact that the vehicles keep giving off harmful gases during traffic jams, the earth is becoming warmer and warmer. In addition, there is no doubt that traffic jams will affect the effectiveness of work because people have to spend much more time on the way to offices than necessary, and their work will be delayed. Apart from this, traffic jams might give rise to more traffic accident, which becomes a great danger to people's life.

Traffic jams are the result of the cars. Why? Personally I think the first reason may be the remoteness(遥远) of people's workplaces. As a result, people have to choose a tool rather than walking to work. Being flexible and relatively convenient, private cars become very attractive choices. What’s more, owning a private car, especially  in some developing countries, is a symbol of wealth and high social positions. In some developed countries it is also the symbol of independence and maturity( 成 熟 ). Anyway, owning and driving private cars are regarded by many people as basic human rights.

Undoubtedly, traffic jams must be dealt with properly. In my view, spending more money on public transportation systems may be an effective means. Needless to say, policies which encourage people to put these systems to full use, for example, giving certain subsidies( 补 贴 ), are necessary. In the meantime, measures to restrict(限制) the use of private cars, such as improving the taxes on cars or petrol should be taken.
