26、On the outside, 12-year-old Luna seems like a common kid. She loves to draw and read and her favorite subjects are science and social studies. It’s not until you get to know her that you learn Luna is anything but common.

Luna was born with heart disease and has undergone three open-heart operations. But she continues to pursue her interests in art and fashion. So when Luna was asked by the athletic shoe company Saucony to design a shoe for sale, it was quite a surprise. “I got to use my art and creativity for something new.” Luna says.

Luna is one of six patients from Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH) who have partnered with Saucony to design their own shoes for its Shoes with Soul campaign. “Rather than just make a donation, we wanted to give some of the kids an opportunity to share their stories and their talents with the world,” says Chris Mahoney, Saucony’s manager of design. “Specifically, we wanted to give some of the kids an opportunity to share their stories and their talents with the world.”

Money from the shoe sales will benefit the BCH Cardiac Fitness Program, which encourages kids to find their own exercise programs tailored according to their heart condition. “we invite patients with heart disease to an exercise program where they train not only their bodies, but their minds to become fully fit and feel strong,” says Dr. Naomi Gauthier, doctor of the Cardiac Fitness Program.

“It feels really good to help people,” says Lunar. “The advice I would give to someone like me is never give up. There are a lot of kids out there with your condition and you are not alone.”

【1】Why does the author say Lunar is not common?

A．She is a student scientist.

B．She suffers from heart disease.

C．She has won several design awards.

D．She founded an athletic shoe company.

【2】How did Lunar feel when she was asked to design shoes by Saucony?

A．Amazed.

B．Scared.

C．Doubtful.

D．Uninterested.

【3】What is the purpose of the Shoes with Soul Campaign?

A．To sell Saucony’s new shoes.

B．To raise money for rebuilding BCH.

C．To show the talents of kids like Luna.

D．To collect money for Luna’s operation.

【4】What will patients in the Cardiac Fitness Program do?

A．Do exercise that suits them.

B．Design their own sports shoes.

C．Take lessons on mental health.

D．Encourage sick kids not to give up.

27、   Dog owners feeling guilty for leaving their pets alone at home for too long will soon be able to take comfort in the fact that at least the animals won’t be bored. They’ll be too busy changing TV channels and enjoying their favorite shows thanks to the world’s first dog-friendly remote control.

UK-based pet food brand Wagg surveyed a number of pet owners and found that 91% of respondents said their dog friends regularly watched TV with them. Inspired by this interesting finding, the company teamed up with Ilyena Hirskyj-Douglas, an expert in animal computer interaction design, to create the world’s first remote control for dogs. They came up with a prototype(样品)which is currently in a trial and analysis period.

The oversized remote is made of hard-wearing plastic. So while dogs can chew on it like any other toy, they’ll have a tough time actually causing any damage. It has three large, raised, paw-friendly buttons shaped like a bone, paw and ball which dogs can press to turn the TV on or off, change the channel and even”pause”a show for later viewing. The remote also has a hole through which a rope can be tied so dogs can carry it around the house.

“Our studies indicate that the average dog now watches more than nine hours of TV a week, showing technology is already playing a huge part in our pets’ lives, “Ilyena Hirskyj-Douglas said.

After Wagg performs all its tests and perfects the dog-friendly TV remote control, the company plans to approach tech companies about getting the device into production. So you and your pet dog may soon be fighting over control of your TV set.

【1】What made Wagg think of inventing the dog-friendly remote control?

A.Dogs like chewing plastic remote controls.

B.Dogs often watch TV with their owners.

C.Dogs have difficulty using the current remote controls.

D.Dog owners complain about dogs biting their remote controls.

【2】What can we learn about the dog-friendly remote control?

A.It doesn’t need batteries. B.It is large but very light.

C.It is in the shape of a bone. D.It can last a long time.

【3】Which statement might Ilyena Hirskyj-Douglas agree with?

A.It’s time for owners to control dogs’ watching TV.

B.Technology has already come into dogs’ life.

C.Dogs have a closer relationship with their owners than before.

D.Dogs can’t live well without this dog-friendly remote control.

【4】What might be dog owners’ attitude toward this dog-friendly remote control?

A.Supportive. B.Doubtful. C.Opposed. D.Worried.

29、   What's safer? Using a numeric PIN code(数字密码)to unlock your smartphone or relying on a swipe(滑动)pattern? New research suggests that, at least when someone close by could be looking over your shoulder, you might be safer with an old-fashioned PIN.

The research by the United States Naval Academy and the University of Maryland tested what could best secure smartphones from so-called "shoulder surfing attacks". So, if you are worried about someone looking over your shoulder while you unlock your phone, would you be wiser to use a PIN or a pattern? According to this research at least, the answer to that question is pretty clear.

Those who have a single observation of your screen as you unlock it with a swipe pattern will be successful in knowing it 64.2% of the time. Security can be improved somewhat by removing lines on the pattern lock (35.3% success rate for shoulder surfers).

By comparison, the use of a six-digit PIN greatly reduces the chances for an attacker to determine how to unlock your smartphone, with just 10.8% of attacks being successful. In tests, viewers were able to determine the users' lock-screen patterns from up to six feet away, from a variety of different angles, even after a single viewing.

Indeed, when it comes to safety, past research has determined that an unlock pattern is about the same as a three-digit PIN -something I hope that none of us would rely upon.

The researchers' conclusion is that a PIN of six digits or more is the most secure de fence against shoulder surfing attacks, and while both types of pattern lock are poor, patterns without lines provide greater security.

Unsurprisingly, the research confirmed that phones with larger screens were found to provide less security against shoulder surfing attacks.

【1】What did the research focus on?

A.What lock-screen patterns people use. B.When shoulder surfing attacks occur.

C.Why people prefer numeric PIN codes. D.How you can unlock your phone safely.

【2】What do we learn about shoulder surfing attacks?

A.They can increase our screen time. B.They are a threat to our privacy.

C.They are a kind of physical attack. D.They can be done through remote control.

【3】Which of the following proves to be the safest?

A.A six-digit PIN. B.A three-digit PIN.

C.A lock-screen pattern with lines. D.A lock-screen pattern without lines.

【4】What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?

A.Add some background information. B.Provide some advice for the readers.

C.Offer additional topic-related information. D.Summarize the previous paragraphs.

Dyson has become a byword (代名词) for high-performing products, technology, design, and invention. James Dyson, the inventor and entrepreneur who made it all happen, tells his remarkable and inspirational story in Invention: A Life.

Over a four-year period, James Dyson made 5,127 prototypes of the dual cyclonic vacuum cleaner (双气旋真空吸尘器) that would transform the way houses are cleaned around the world. In d【1】 all his resources to developing the technology, he risked it all, but out of many failures and   【2】 (巨大的) efforts came success. His products — including vacuum cleaners, hairdryers and fans — are not only revolutionary technologies, but design classics.

This was an outcome of his time studying at the Royal College of Art in the 1960s, when he was inspired by some of the most famous and 【3】 (influence) artists, designers, and inventors of the era.

In Invention: A Life, Dyson reveals how he came to set up his own company and led it to become one of the most 【4】 (杰出的) technology companies in the world. Dyson has always looked to the future, even setting up his own university to help provide the next generation of engineers and designers, for, as he says, “Everything changes all the time, so experience is of little use.”

Whether you are someone who has an idea for a better product or a(n) 【5】(ambition) entrepreneur, whether you appreciate great design or just need a page-turning read, Invention: A Life offers you inspiration, hope, and much more.

32、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。

The little country schoolhouse was heated by an old-fashioned, pot-bellied coal stove (火炉). An eight-year-old boy named Glenn Cunningham had the job of coming to school early each day so that he could use kerosene(煤油)to start the fire and warm the room before his teacher and his classmates arrived.

One cold morning, someone mistakenly filled the kerosene container he used with gas, and disaster struck. The class and teacher arrived to find the schoolhouse enveloped in a big fire. Terrified on realizing that Glenn was inside, they rushed in and managed to drag the unconscious(无意识的)little boy out of the flaming building more dead than alive. He had major burns over the lower half of his body and was rushed to a nearby county hospital.

From his bed, the seriously burned, half-conscious little boy faintly heard the doctor talking to his heart-broken mother. The doctor told his mother that her son would surely die-which might be for the best, really-for the terrible fire had ruined the lower half of his body. From the waist down, Glenn had no ability to move at all. His thin, scarred legs just hung there, all but lifeless.

But the brave boy didn’t want to die. Glenn made up his mind that he would survive. And somehow, to the amazement of the physician, he did survive.

Returning home, Glenn was seen either in a wheelchair or in bed. One sunny day his mother wheeled him out into the yard to get some fresh air. Over the grass and the strong white fence bordering their lot, he watched other boys playing joyfully. He couldn’t help looking back on the happy days before the disaster. With his thoughts wandering back to those old golden memories, this brave little boy made up his mind.
