18、However, what people eat has changed over time. Some of todays common breakfast foods, such as cereals（谷类食物）, are popular because of very effective marketing.“Advertising was practically invented to sell cereals. One of the first ways advertising was successfully or effectively used was to convince
19、mothers that it was okay for their children to eat instant cereals. They offered working mothers a chance to let kids take care of themselves in the morning,” says Heather Arndt Anderson. She is the writer of the book Breakfast: A History.Advertising also played an important part in orange juice bec

26、st two decades in the employ of Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan. Nearing 50, Leonardo was already famed for his scientific gift and artistic achievements. Combining practicality and observation, Leonardo applied the principle of sapere vedere(knowing how to see, in Latin) into as many areas of human
27、enquiry as it led him.Cesare Borgia, the ambitious son of Pope Alexander VI, became Leonardos financial supporter in 1502. One of the first tasks given to Leonardo was to create a map of the city of Imola, near Bologna. Borgia had taken control of the city in 1499. It was a key success for the young
28、 commander. Controlling the city would require understanding its geography and landmarks, and Borgia wanted the map from the finest mind of Leonardo in order to do that. In the 16th century city maps tended to be symbolic and often symbolic, enlarging the size of religious buildings. Leonardos “Imol
29、a Plan” broke with this tradition, aiming to show the reality on the ground, and to provide a map that was of more practical use.Leonardo applied a mapping technique developed by Florentine humanist Leon Battista Alberti, who suggested that a town should be mapped using polar coordinates (极坐标系). Sta
30、rting with Albertis technique, Leonardo adapted it to record more accurate distances, proportions, and relationships between features.The citys public square was fixed in the middle of the grid (坐标方格). Historians believe that Leonardo collected data on the ground by starting at this central point an
31、d then using a compass (罗盘) and odometer (计程器) to measure streets and landmarks. Using geometry, he could then fill in the rest of the map. Leonardos techniques gave rise to the first map that used data to accurately show a “flattened city” as it might be seen from above, what is called an ichnograp
32、hic (平面图的) map today, perhaps the most familiar type of map used today.

33、 it better.C. To attack and take it.D. To push mapping forward. 29. What can we infer about the city maps in the 16th century?A. They were always of a large size.B. They were often created by religious groups.C. They gave special attention to certain landmarks.D. They continued the tradition of show
34、ing reality.30.From whom did Leonardo da Vinci get inspiration when carrying out the “Imola Plan”?A. Cesare Borgia.B. Ludovico Sforza.C. Leon Battista Alberti.D. Pope Alexander VI.31.

35、velopment of mapping.C. The improvement of measures used to make maps.D. The importance of Leonardo da Vincis “Imola Plan”.DThe days of having to carry a phone charger everywhere could soon be over. Michigan researchers have revealed a major breakthrough in harvesting energy from human motion(运动). T
36、hey say it could lead to smartphones powered for a week by the motion of a swipe(重击).Michigan State Universitys low-cost device, known as a nanogenerator, has already been tested. Scientists successfully operated an LCD touch screen, a bank of 20 LED lights and a flexible keyboard, all with a simple
37、 touching or pressing motion and without the aid of a battery. The groundbreaking findings, published in the journal Nano Energy, suggest “Were on the path toward wearable devices powered by human motion,” said Nelson Sepulveda, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering and lead res
38、earcher of the project.“What I foresee, relatively soon, is the capability of not having to charge your cell phone for an entire week, for example, because that energy will be produced by your movement,” said Sepulveda, whose research is funded by the National Science Foundation.Electrical energy is
39、 created when the device is compressed by human motion. The completed device is as thin as a sheet of paper. The device used to power the LED lights was palm-sized while the device used to power the touch screen was as small as a finger. Advantages such as being lightweight, flexible and low-cost co
40、uld make it a promising and alternative method in the field of Mechanical-energy harvesting.The device also becomes more powerful when folded. Sepulveda said, “You can start with a large device, but when you fold it once, and again, and again, its much smaller and has more energy. Now it may be smal
41、l enough to put in a specially made heel of your shoe so it creates power each time your heel(脚后跟) strikes the ground.”Sepulveda and his team are also developing technology that would transmit the power generated by the heel strike to, say, a wireless headset.32.
