【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
Don't you just hate it when you have to take an important phone call and you're surrounded by potential eavesdroppers(潛在偷聽者)? You either have to whisper or go outside to keep the conversation private, which is not good. Now Hushme aims to fix this problem by muffling your voice and making you look like Bane in the film Batman.
Hushme is a strange high-tech mask(口罩)that blocks the sound of the wearer's voice so that people nearby can't hear what is being said. It connects to your phone via Blucetooth and comes with a pair of earphones. When you get a private call, all you have to do is put the mask on and it will do the rest. The pair of thick pads over your mouth does a good job of muffling your voice, but to ensure nothing gets through. Hushme also has speakers that play a variety of sounds when you speak.
The Hushme mask, which comes in a variety of colors, can be worn around the neck, like a regular pair of earphones, and attaches in front of your mouth thanks to a couple of very powerful magnets(磁鐵). It's not yet clear how comfortable speaking with this Bane-like mask over your mouth really is, or how effective its speech muffling ability is, so we know so far is that it makes you look strange. The sound choices for covering your voice currently include wind, ocean, rain, birds, monkey, but new ones could be added in the future.
Advertised as the “world's first voice mask for mobile phones'. Hushme was showed at CES. At the becoming of this year. Its makers plan to sell it by the end of this year. It will cost about $200.

C.To encourage readers to buy Hushme
D.To say Hushme will be popular in the future
(2)What does the underlined word “muffling” in Paragraph 1 mean?

D.Its makers are confident about its market sales

【答案】
(1)A
(2)A
(3)B
(4)C
【解析】本文是一篇說明文。作者給我們講述了一種新興的能夠使我們在打電話時別人無法聽到我們的聲音的高科技口罩,作者從它的外觀,特點(diǎn),以及未來將會在市場上出現(xiàn)等一系列情況進(jìn)行了描寫,向我們展示了科技的偉大。

(1)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Now Hushme aims to fix this problem by muffling your voice and making you look like Bane in the film Batman”可知,Hushme的目的就是要解決之個問題,它通過消除你的聲音是你看起來像電影蝙蝠俠里的Bane一樣。故選A。

(2)詞意猜測題。根據(jù)“Now Hushme aims to fix this problem by muffling your voice and making you look like Bane in the film Batman”可知,要想猜測出muffling的意思,需要聯(lián)系前文,前文提到人們在打電話的時候經(jīng)常會有潛在的“偷聽者”,下面就是如何解決這個問題,所以提到了Hushme致力于消除聲音。由題目選項(xiàng)可知:A阻礙、堵塞,B識別、認(rèn)出,C改變,D記得,從這句話中可看出只有A符合句意。故選A。

(3)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“It's not yet clear how comfortable speaking with this Bane-like mask over your mouth really is, or how effective its speech muffling ability is, so we know so far is that it makes you look strange”我們可以看出對于Hushme我們不清楚它的舒適度以及消減聲音的能力如何,從整篇文章也沒有講到它的受歡迎程度,根據(jù)“Hushme is a strange high-tech mask(口罩)that blocks the sound of the wearer's voice”我們能夠清楚確定的是它的外觀就像平常的口罩那樣。故選B。

(4)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“The sound choices for covering your voice currently include wind, ocean, rain, birds, monkey, but new ones could be added in the future”可以看出,在這些選擇中已經(jīng)覆蓋了風(fēng)、海洋、雨滴、鳥和猴子的聲音,在未來將會增加新的聲音。故選C。

Evaluating Sources (來源) of health Information
Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to fins relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources.
Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study.
Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behaviour “contributes to” or is“ associated with” an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.
Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖騙術(shù)).
Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.
Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life.
A. Make choices that are right for you.
B. The goal of an ad is to sell you something.
C. Be sure to work through the critical questions.
D. And examine the findings of the original research.
E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.
F. Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author's point of view.
G. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.

【題目】4 Important Reasons to Raise Your Children Around Animals

http://www.onegreenplanet.org/animalsandnature/why-it-is-important-to-raise-kids-around-animals/

If you have a love for animals, chances are that you want your children to have that love too. 1 And getting along with animals is a great learning experience too. Starting that kind of bond with animals while your children are young is really important for many reasons and here are just some of them.

1. Increase empathy (移情) and compassion(同情心)

Children that are raised around animals are more likely to develop good qualities. They are learning to care about something with positive attention and responsibility. Additionally, animals are empathetic and compassionate themselves. Through their own love and caring, they teach their own lessons to our children.2

2. Provide opportunity for responsibility

As children grow up with an animal, they learn to be more responsible. 3 They can help feed the fish or walk the family dog.

3. 4

A recently published article shows that children can improve their reading skills while reading to the family pet. This might be because animals are such patient and kind creatures that help lower stress.

4. Give unbeatable comfort during hard times

Life is not always easy. 5 When there is a family pet, that pet is always there for the family to offer comfort. That pet keeps his company when your child feels lonely. Sometimes it is that silent hug and constant companionship that make children feel alright again with the stresses that come into their lives.

A. Pets increase reading success

B. Sometimes bad things happen.

C. Some people are cruel to animals.

D. Animals are great friends to people of all ages.

E. This way children will learn to respect animals.

F. Hopefully, you can feel pity for the homeless animals.

G. They must take on duties in order to care for that animal.
