After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself t

11、o take the best photo of this panorama.Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun a

12、nd reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didnt want to mess with that.Ano

13、ther 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breath because this woman is engagi

14、ng with it.This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some strangers bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which

15、 some woman I dont even know has been immortalized(使永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.Perhaps we all live in each others spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for-to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, and that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something th

16、at is greater than us.That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.1. What happened when the author was about to take a photo?A. Her camera stopped working. B. A woman blocked her view.C. Someone asked her to leave.

17、 D. A friend approached from behind.2. According to the author, the woman was probably_.A. enjoying herselfB. losing her patienceC. waiting for the sunsetD. thinking about her past3. In the authors opinion, what makes the photo so alive?A. The rich color of the landscape.B. The perfect positioning o

18、f the camera.C. The womans existence in the photo.D. The soft sunlight that summer day.4. The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand _.A. the need to be close to natureB. the importance of private spaceC. the joy of the vacation in ItalyD. the shared passion for beauty5. T

19、he passage can be seen as the authors reflections upon _.A. a particular life experienceB. the pleasure of travelingC. the art of photographyD. a lost friendshipBMy house is made out of wood，glass and stone. It is also made out of software.If you come to visit, youll probably be surprised when you c

20、ome in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN (个人身份号码) to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When its dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest to you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music mo

21、ves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.Of course，you are also able to tell the house if you want som

22、ething. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.The PIN and the console are new ideas，but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie，you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car wor

23、ks for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.I believe that ten years from now，most new homes will have the systems that Ive put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones Ive put in today.I like to try

24、new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “How will I live without them？”6. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How to develop a new system.B. The function of the PIN.C. A ho

25、me for the future.D. Easy life in the future.7. The writers new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because _.A. it has been controlled by computersB. you can make a telephone call anywhereC. it has your favorite music following youD. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice8

26、. What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?A. An experienced teacher. B. A famous doctor. C. An idealist. D. An IT expert.CA T-shirt that constantly monitors the hearts activity and detects abnormalities could help protect people against stroke. The T-shirt, which can be washed

27、up to 35 times before it needs replacing, has been developed to improve the detection of dangerous heart conditions like atrial fibrillation (心房颤动), which causes an irregular heart rhythm and raises the risk of stroke.At least one million people in Britain are known to have this condition; however,

28、its estimated that at least another 500,000 have it but havent yet been diagnosed because they have no obvious symptoms. Some will have symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness and fatigue; but a large number of people have no idea theyre ill until they suffer a stroke.Detecting atrial fibrillation in

29、volves carrying out an ECG(心电图). Conventional ECGs are done in a hospital and involve highly trained teams of staff attaching up to 24 separate electrodes(电极) to different parts of the body to measure electrical signals. But most patients experience abnormal rhythms only intermittently (间歇地). This m

30、eans the chance of picking them up during a short hospital check is slim.Doctors sometimes issue patients with a device called a Holter monitor to wear under their clothes to try to pick up heart problems. This is an electronic box which clips onto your waistband and is connected to a series of elec

31、trodes worn on the upper part of your body. But the box itself is quite big, hard to hide beneath clothing and involves a dozen or more wires being attached to the patients chest.The Cardioskin T-shirt, which is made from cotton, could be a much more convenient alternative and can be worn 24 hours a

32、 day meaning it is more likely to pick up any abnormal rhythms in the patients heart. It has 15 tiny electrodes which are placed around the chest area to track the electrical signals from the heart as they travel across the main part of your body.The electrodes are powered by a battery which can be

33、removed easily when you need to wash the T-shirt and feed results to a microchip(微芯片). The results are shared with the patients doctor so they can check the patients heart without having to call them into the hospital.Martin Cowie, a professor of cardiology at Imperial College London, said, “Cardios

34、kin could be an important development for cardiologists（心脏病专家）.”9. How many British people are having dangerous heart conditions according to the text?A. Less than 0.5 million. B. Less than 1 million.C. At least 1.5 million. D. At least 2 million.10. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. The diffi

35、culty in detecting atrial fibrillation.B. The benefit of detecting atrial fibrillation.C. The process of detecting atrial fibrillation.D. The future of detecting atrial fibrillation.11.

36、introduce a way to check the patients heart.C. To encourage people to care about their health.D. To explain why doctors like using the device.DDont drive your kids to school. Let them ride a bike to school. In England 8.3 million children travel to school every day. It is reported that only a small

37、number of pupils cycle to school (under 2%), although one in three children would actually like to. Experts say that to stay healthy, children need at least one hour of moderate (适度的) exercise every day. But only six out of ten boys and four out of ten girls get that. One of the reasons is that pare

38、nts have developed a habit of driving their children to school when they could just walk or ride a bike to school. Teachers often say that children who walk or ride a bike to school are more ready to listen to their classes, ask and answer questions in class than those driven by car, and the school

39、journey is a good chance for children to learn about road safety and other life skills. Also, for many children, riding a bike is more fun than going to school by car. Most parents know the benefits. Then whats stopping them from letting their kids ride a bike? Safety is the number one worry for the

40、m. But actually riding a bike is not as dangerous as parents think it is. When you decide to buy a bike, you should be aware (意识到) that a bike that is too big or too small is dangerous. Dont try to get a bike that your child will “grow into”. Get the right size in good working order. Generally, 20in

41、ch wheels are on bikes for 58 year old; 24inch wheels are for 911 year old; 26inch wheels are suitable for those over 11, and some older children should even take bikes with 28inch wheels, but the main thing is that the bike fits your child.12.
