27、Homecare is health care or supportive care provided by a professional caregiver in the individual home where the client is living, as opposed to care provided in group accommodations like clinics or nursing homes.【1】

Homecare includes a range of activities, especially paramedical aid by nurses and assistance in daily living for ill. disabled or elderly people.【2】Home health nurses also assist patients with activities of daily living (ADL.s) consisting of bathing, toileting. and feeding. Or they direct and supervise the aide in providing ADL. care.

The caregivers not only help clients with everyday tasks but try to develop a caring relationship with them.【3】

Meanwhile, homecare nurses communicate between the patient, family, and physician. Jennifer Stapelburg, aged 57, recovering from major surgery, said, “If you are looking for some compassionate, caring people, I highly recommend homecare. Their friendliness and professionalism is what I love.”

【4】Some homecare centers provide one-on-one attention and develop an individualized care plan that fits clients’ specific needs. This can’t be found in other settings.

28、Google's new camera, called Clips, is a small, smart device. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子)，but it’s not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.

This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness, is intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.

Onboard the Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. “Once it learns that there's a face you see frequently, it’ll try to get nice photos of those faces,” said Juston Payne, the device’s product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved “training it to know what happiness looks like”. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot — like when a child’s hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dark purse.

The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing.

Were people concerned it could seem strange? Yes, Payne admitted. But they said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet.

“This product is only possible because of the way that silicon has advanced” Payne said, noting that it was only in the past year or so that they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, we’re likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets.

【1】What is the most outstanding feature of Clips?

A. It is equipped with tough glass.

B. It enables easy internet access.

C. It allows of hands-free photography.

D. It can be worn on your clothing.

【2】What does the underlined word “candid”, in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. brief   B. touching.

C. unforgettable.   D. embarrassing.

【3】What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne?

A. The popularity of the Internet.

B. The advance in technology.

C. The rise of the smartphone industry.

D. The reduction in the price of lens.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A. A New Digital Camera from Google.

B. New Gadgets in the Age of Apps.

C. Artificial Intelligence in Everyday Life.

D. An Alternative Way to Photograph.

29、Many of the threats currently facing our oceans, such as rising temperatures and pollution, are widely understood. However, there are a number of relatively unknown emerging issues that are poorly understood in terms of their potential impact, whether good or bad, on marine environments. Several are linked to the exploitation (开发) of newly in-demand ocean resources.

In the hope that early identification will support scientists, conservationists and policy-makers to address these new challenges in plenty of time, 30 experts in marine and coastal ecosystems have proposed a list of the 15 issues most likely to have a significant impact on ocean biodiversity over the next five to ten years. Here, we will take a closer look at one of those issues.

In coastal seas around the world, the water is growing darker. This darkness, caused by increasing amounts of sediment (沉积物) and nutrients, is a relatively little-studied phenomenon, but a potentially serious cause for concern.

A range of activities are responsible for coastal darkening. Rainwater runoff from agricultural land carries fertilizers, animal waste and sediment into rivers that march into the sea. Increasing rainfall and permafrost (永久冻土) melting (both the result of human-driven climate change) also cause sudden increases in ocean nutrient levels, leading to light-blocking algal blooms (藻华) . Digging and bottom searching stir up seafloor sediments.

Light influences marine life in a surprising number of ways. It passes through seawater, heating it and generating currents, and is absorbed by the large quantities of microscopic phytoplankton (浮游植物) upon which most marine life depends. Even moonlight, 400,000 times fainter than sunlight, is responsible for the nightly movements of many of the oceans’ tiniest inhabitants and, every year, hundreds of coral species spawn (产卵) at the same time, triggered by the light of a full moon.

As the clarity of seawater is reduced, light is prevented from entering the water column. At moderate levels, coastal darkening can have positive impacts, such as limiting coral bleaching (珊瑚白化) , but the benefits are few. Darkening could change species’ behaviour, distribution and even composition, profoundly altering their ecosystems and ability to store carbon. Poisonous chemicals such as methyl mercury (甲基汞) , which is broken down by sunlight, could spread higher up the food chain, reaching the fish that we eat.

【1】What do we know about the less-known emerging issues?

A．Their impact has been well known by most people.

B．Several may affect the ocean biodiversity greatly in the future.

C．All are related to the exploitation of ocean resources.

D．The early identification has addressed these new challenges.

【2】Why do the coastal seas get darker?

A．Water from rivers gets into the sea.

B．People show little concern about the coast.

C．The phenomenon is relatively little-studied

D．Amounts of nutrients and sediment increase.

【3】What is the influence of darkening seawater?

A．More coral bleaching.

B．Stable species’ behavior.

C．Unsafe seafood for humans.

D．Rapid breakdown of chemicals.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A．Coastal Darkening

B．Rising Temperatures

C．Marine Biodiversity

D．Responsible Activities

30、Harvey Sutton spent several months hiking with his parents, walking the thousands of miles that make up the complete Appalachian Trail (路线). Harvey, or “Little Man”, was just 4 years old when he started, and _______ his 5th birthday on the trail.
