12、ring, its often the people with little to spare who demonstrate how easy it is to part with money.This past winter, for example, when Dominique HarrisonBentzen, a British student, didnt have any way to get home, a homeless man gave her all the money he had$4.60for a taxi.

17、rs the ways in which screens affect the quality of a persons reading. The magazine Scientific American reported that at least 100 studies have been published on the issue since the 1980s.Virginia Clinton carried out a research examination. She found what she called a small but significant difference
18、 in reading text from screen versus paper.Clinton looked at 33 past studies that examined paper versus screen reading. The studies collectively had 2,799 study subjects, including both children and adults. Clintons examination found that reading from paper generally led to better understanding and i
19、mproved a persons performance on tests connected to the reading material. And, she found no major differences in reading speed between the two.Clinton and other researchers have found screen readers often believe they understand a text better than they really do. And, they are more likely than paper
20、 readers to overestimate how well they would do on a test of the materials they have read.Yet, this overestimated sense of understanding is especially common among screen readers. Clinton said, There are many possible reasons for such findings. Overconfidence of screen readers, for example, could be
21、 the result of a distracted, less focused mind. Readers preferences are also important. Research shows the majority of people of all ages prefer reading from paper. If you are enjoying the reading process, youre going to be more involved. Youre going to be paying better attention. Preferences are a
22、key issue here.”Several studies have found that people often think of paper materials as something more important and serious. If you are reading from paper, your mind thinks this is something important. I need to pay attention to it,” Clinton said.8. How did Clinton find the so-called difference?A.
23、 By doing many surveys. B. By doing 2,799 research.C. By analyzing research findings. D. By publishing texts on a magazine.9. What benefit does reading from paper bring to readers?A. Higher reading speed. B. Better reading efficiency.C. Stronger reading interest. D. Happier reading experiences.10. H
24、ow will screen readers feel after finishing reading?A. Empty-headed. B. Anxiety-ridden. C. Energetic. D. Overconfident.11. Which aspect of reading will readers preferences have an effect on?A. The concentration. B. The duration. C. The material. D. The method.DLove the way you walkListen carefully t
25、o the footsteps, and you can work out who is walking about. The features commonly used to identify people are faces and fingerprints. But the way they walk is also a giveaway.Researchers have used video cameras and computers to analyze peoples gaits (步法). But translating such knowledge into a practi
26、cal identification system can be tricky. Cameras are often visible, require good lighting and may have their view blocked by other people. A team led by Dr. Ozanyan and Dr. Scully have been looking for a better way to recognize gait. Their answer: pressure-sensitive mats.Such mats are nothing new. T
27、hey have been part of security systems. But Ozanyan and Scully use a complicated version that can record the amount of pressure applied in different places as someone walks across it. The researchers turned to an artificial-intelligence system to recognize such patterns. In a study in 2018, they tes
28、ted the system on a database of footsteps of 127 people. They found its error rate in identifying who was who was a mere 0.7%. And Scully says even without a database of footsteps, the system can determine someones sex and a subjects age.One application of the mat-based gait-recognition system might
29、 be in health care, particularly for the elderly. A mat placed in a nursing home or an old persons own residence could monitor changes in an individuals gait that indicates certain illnesses. That would provide early warning of someone being at greater risk of falling over. Gait analysis might also
30、be used as a security measure in the workplace, monitoring access to restricted areas, such as parts of military bases, server farms or laboratories dealing with dangerous materials. Perhaps the most interesting use of the mats, though, would be in public places, such as airports. 12. What is mainly
31、 talked about in Paragraph 2?A. Research equipment.B. Research findings.C. Research assumption.D. Research background.13. What is the mat used for?A. Collecting data.B. Ensuring safety.C. Determining age. D. Analyzing pressure.14. What might the gait-recognition system be applied to?A. Monitoring se
32、curity work progress. B. Detecting potential health problems.C. Keeping track of travelling frequency.D. Warning passengers of possible dangers.15. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. Compare and educate.B. Examine and assess.C. Discuss and persuade.D. Explain and inform.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分1

Its easier than ever to connect to the Internet in the digital world today. 16 Wi-Fi is a wireless network that uses radio frequency signals to con
34、nect to the Internet or send messages between devices without wires.

35、al non-profit organization created to promote the new Wi-Fi standard. None of that history explains what Wi-Fi stands for, because the phrase doesnt stand for anything. Wi-Fi is a trademarked term describing the device or technology based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEE
36、E) wireless communication standard 802.11, according to the Wi-Fi Alliance. 18 So the Wi-Fi Alliance hired the marketing company Interbrand to come up with a shorter name: Wi-Fi, according to one of the founding Alliance members. 19 The rumor that it stands for “Wireless Fidelity (无线保证)” is thanks t
37、o the Alliance. Some members didnt understand the branding or marketing for Wi-Fi. They felt consumers would want an explanation for the name. So the Alliance agreed to include a tagline: The Standard for Wireless Fidelity. Thats why so many people assume Wi-Fi stands for wireless fidelity, but the
38、tagline came after the name. 20 Dont add to the confusion and stop miss-associating these phrases by learning the real meaning behind these acronyms (缩略词). A. Thats a mouthful.B. This is mostly thanks to Wi-Fi.C. The name caused a misconception about Wi-Fi.D. There is some debate surrounding the que
39、stion what Wi-Fi stands for.E. In 1997, a committee of industry leaders approved a common Wi-Fi standard.F. Several years ago, a common standard of Wi-Fi was set up by several companies.G.

52、ter. Willard was strictly a loner who seemed to have no desire or need to break his silence.Shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday, we received word of the annual Christmas collection of money for the less fortunate people in our school district.“Christmas is a season of giving,” I told my students.
53、 “There are a few students in the school who might not have a happy holiday season. By contributing to our Christmas collection, you will help buy food, clothing and toys for these needy people.
