26、   Technology is constantly evolving, and it's essential to stay up to date with the top trends(趋势) in senior living, one of which is wearables that can be worn on or around some part of our body, such as a smart watch. It is technology that individuals can feel, touch, and use everyday. Wearables can provide a great health benefit for seniors, with the ability to monitor their vital signs(生命特征) or help predict when a fall or other adverse health incident may occur. Research conducted by the National Institute of Health has shown an increase in the risk of falling when seniors don't get adequate amounts of sleep. Being able to monitor specific risk factors in residents(住户) can help reduce accidents and maintain safety.

The second top technology trend in senior living is devices and applications. Often when older adults move into a senior living community, they may feel as if control over their own life is being taken away. Devices that are put in the resident's care can improve their quality of life by giving them some power back and can also help monitor their health levels. Some examples of such devices are tablets, smartphones, and lighting systems. Specific applications that work with devices can help residents, even those with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia(痴呆)accomplish daily tasks and play games. A new app named Timeless will enable(使能够) residents to test memory with images of loved ones.

The third top technology trend is telemedicine, which can help improve old people's health. Telemedicine gives healthcare professionals the opportunity to educate multiple seniors through video conferences. With physicians available through video conferences, seniors can be saved from making the effort of physically going to a doctor's office, and thus reduce the risk of getting certain illnesses caused by exposure to bad weather.

The fourth top technology trend is voice activation(激活) . Many different types of technology are more commonly activated by voice commands. These can be very beneficial and create case of use for any resident using it. Senior scan conserve their energy when they are sick or just tired with lights that can be activated with certain commands. With voice-activated devices such as Amazon Alexa, a resident can control TV volume, music volume, and countless other in-home devices. This also gives residents a sense of control when they move to an assisted living community.

Finally, technology integration(集成) is also a top trend in technology for senior living. Each of the previous categories can improve lives, but when they are combined, the greatest benefits can be obtained. With a resident’s wristband(腕带) monitoring vital signs and sleep patterns combined with devices that monitor movement, such as room sensors, it can provide much needed data for providers to help prevent accidents and ensure quick response during emergencies

【1】.How can seniors benefit from wearables?

A.They can express their feelings freely.

B.They can predict potential heath risks

C.They can control their health conditions.

D.They can improve their communication skills.

【2】Which trend can help seniors shake off the feeling of being controlled?

A.Wearables. B.Telemedicine.

C.Technology integration. D.Devices and applications.

【3】What can telemedicine do for seniors?

A.Test their memory regularly.

B.Monitor their movements constantly

C.Recommend clinical specialists in various fields.

D.Give them access to video conferences with doctors.

【4】How can the technologies serve seniors best?

A.By being made affordable.

B.By being combined together.

C.By being made more user-friendly.

D.By being activated through voice commands.

27、The bad health effects of sleep loss during the week can’t be repaid by longer weekend sleep, according to a new study.

Researchers have long known that sleep deprivation (剥夺) can cause weight gain and increase other health risks. But for those who force themselves out of bed every weekday after too few hours of shut eye, they hope turning off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and remove any ill effects.

The research, published in Current Biology, crushes those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep during a weekend recovery period, people in a sleep lab who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced disorders that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of sleep loss, those gains were wiped out when people fell right back into their same sleep deprived schedule the next Monday.

'If there are benefits of catch-up sleep, they're gone when you go back to your daily schedule. It's very short lived', said Kenneth Wright, director of the sleep and chronobiology lab at the University of Colorado at Boulder. 'These health effects are long term. It's kind of like smoking once was-people would smoke and wouldn't see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep is in the early stage of where smoking used to be.'

Wright said that the study suggests people should put sleep in the first place cutting out the 'sleep stealers' such as watching television shows or spending time on their phones. Even when people don't have a choice about losing sleep because of child-care responsibilities or job schedules, they should think about getting sleep in the same way they would get a healthy diet or exercise.

【1】What does the underlined word 'rushes' mean?

A．Ruins.

B．Guarantees.

C．Deepens.

D．Arouses.

【2】What will Kenneth Wright agree with?

A．Smoking is more harmful than sleep loss.

B．Weekend recovery sleep has many benefits.

C．Smoking and sleep loss have the same bad effects.

D．It takes long for people to see the effects of sleep loss.

【3】What does Kenneth Wright advise people to do?

A．Take regular exercise every day.

B．Reduce the screen time before sleep.

C．Watch some TV shows before bedtime.

D．Sleep as long as possible during weekdays.

【4】What is the main purpose of this passage?

A．To share some unhappy experiences.

B．To show some unknown facts.

C．To promote a healthy lifestyle.

D．To introduce a new study.

28、How Arts Contribute to Our Economy

When it comes to arts, most people tend to imagine the end product, beautiful paintings, wonderful pieces of music, or award-winning performances in the theater. But arts groups bring broader value to communities. 【1】.

The arts create jobs that help develop the economy. Any given performance takes a tour bus full of artists, technical experts, managers, musicians, or writers to create an appealing piece of art.【2】. Another group of folks is needed to help market the event. Digital media experts, photographers, booking agents and promoters(推广者) are hired to sell tickets and promote the event.

【3】. Here is an example. In 2005, when the Bishop Arts Theatre was donated to a town in Dallas, the location was considered a poor area. After putting more than $1 million in reconstructing the building, they began producing a full season of theater performances, jazz concerts, and year-round arts education programs. Soon, waves of jazz lovers flooded in to enjoy an evening. Then, came a series of work force outside the arts industry, including accountants, marketers, hotel managers, printers, and other kinds of workers. 【4】.

Definitely, arts are efficient economic drivers when supported. It’s wrong to have prejudice against majors in art and assume arts groups cannot make a profit. But to stay in business, arts groups must produce returns. 【5】. But those who truly understand the economic effect and can work to change the patterns can create a wide range of career possibilities.

A.Here are some tips on how to achieve profits in the arts.

B.Here are some ways in which the arts benefit our economy.

C.A successful arts neighborhood creates a chain effect throughout a community.

D.These people earn a living income for their professional knowledge and skills.

E.No doubt the theater has contributed to the area’s development and economic growth.

F.To be major in the arts, you need to have an understanding of the brilliant potential of your choice.

G.If you are a student considering taking up the arts, chances are you have been ill-advised to have a plan B.

29、Walking routes that are quicker and cheaper than the Tube in London

Love to shop? You can walk between Knightsbridge and fashionable Sloane Square in around 10 minutes一much simpler than swapping lines at South Kensington.

Don't fall into the trap of taking the Piccadilly line between Covent Garden and Leicester Square. It takes just four minutes to walk and you'll avoid the queues for the lifts at Covent Garden.

*Use a Santander Cycle for just £2

It costs £2 to access Santander Cycles for 24 hours. The first half hour is free each time you hop on a new bike, which means you can make multiple trips in one day and still pay only £2.

*Hop on a bus

Buses don't just offer a scenic way of getting around London—they're easy on the wallet too! A single fare costs just £1.50, while unlimited bus travel on a contactless card costs £4.50.

Make the most of the hopper fare, which allows you to make a second bus journey for free within an hour of travel.

*Go contactless for the cheapest fare

If you have to take the Tube, use the same contactless card all day long to make the most savings when making multiple journeys. Contactless card users benefit from a daily cap (上限).

【1】What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?

A.To introduce different ways of transport in London.

B.To offer people tips for cheap travel options in London.

C.To warn people against traps of wasting money in London.

D.To compare different ways of transport in London.

【2】We can learn from the passage that   .

A.one takes the Tube from Knightsbridge to Sloane Square without changing lines

B.it takes one only £2 to make multiple trips with a Santander Cycle for 24 hours

C.one will enjoy a free journey as long as he/she transfers within an hour of travel

On a broiling afternoon when the men were away at work and all the women napped, I moved through majestic depths of silences, silences so immense I could hear the corn 【1】. Under these silences there was a / an orchestra of natural music playing notes no city child would ever hear. A certain cackle from the henhouse meant we had gained an egg. The creak of a porch swing told of a momentary breeze blowing across my grandmother’s yard. As I 【2】 along a mossy bank to surprise a frog, a 【3】splash told me the quarry had spotted me and slipped into the stream. Wandering among the sleeping houses, I learned that tin roofs crackle under the power of the sun, and when I tired and came back to my grandmother’s house, I padded into her dark cool living room, lay 【4】 on the floor, and listened to the hypnotic beat of her pendulum clock on the wall ticking the meaningless hours away.

I was enjoying the luxuries of a rustic nineteenth-century boyhood, but for the women Morrisonville life had few 【5】. Their lives were hard, endless, dirty labor.

For baths, laundry, and dishwashing, they hauled buckets of water from a spring at the foot of a hill. To heat it, they chopped kindling to fire their wood stoves. They boiled laundry in tubs, scrubbed it on washboards until knuckles were 【6】, and wrung it out by hand. Ironing was a business of lifting heavy metal weights heated on the stove top.

They scrubbed floors on hands and knees, thrashed rugs with carpet beaters, killed and plucked their own chickens, baked bread and parties, grew and conned their won vegetables, patched the family’s clothing on treadle-operated sewing machines, 【7】before the men to start the stove for breakfast and pack lunch pails, polished the chimneys of kerosene lamps, and even found time to tend the flowers that grew around every house. By the end of a summer day a Morrisonville woman had toiled like a serf.

At sundown the men drifted back from the fields exhausted and 【8】. They scrubbed themselves in enamel basins and, when supper was eaten, climbed up onto the porch to watch the night arrive. Presently the women 【9】 them, and the twilight music of Morrisonville began.

The swing creaking , rocking chairs 【10】 on the porch planks, voices murmuring approval of the sagacity of Uncle Irvey as he quietly observed for probably the ten-thousandth time in his life, “A man works from sun to sun, but a woman’s work is never done.”

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

In Congress, July 4, 1776

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should d【1】 the causes which impel them to the separation.

We h【2】 these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created e【3】, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable R【4】, that among these are life, L【5】, and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, g 【6】 are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the P 【7】 to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, l【8】 its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such f【9】, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariable the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their d 【10】, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Tablets are really useful devices, but their big screens always make them a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit 【1】 into the hand?

Now something like a tablet-shaped but fold-able phone is about to become 【2】. In February, South Korean electronics company Samsung and China’s Huawei both unveiled fold-able phones Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X 【3】. Mobile phone use has entered the “fold-able future”, The Verge noted.

The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their 【4】 screens, give us the larger screens we want. Meanwhile, they still fit easily into the pocket. As USA Today noted, they’re “the 【5】 of a small tablets and smart-phone, all in a single device”.

The technology could 【6】 other devices too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers. In crowded modem cities, they will help us to 【7】 available space.

In a keynote address, Samsung’s senior vice president of mobile product marketing, Justin Denison, called the fold-able screen “the 【8】 for the smart-phone of tomorrow.” “It’s a balank canvas for us to do something beautiful together,” he said.

So is there nothing to stand in the way of the fold-able future?

According to tech news website Android authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of every to OLED screens produced were 【9】. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to between 50 and 90 percent. However, at present these fold-able devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17,500 RMB. That’s a price that may 【10】 the majority of people.

But if the fold-able device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming.

Patrick Moor-head, an industry analyst told The Verge, “Few are debating if fold-able or roll-able mobile displays are the future of smart-phones; the only question is when and by whom.”

A huge milestone has just been reached in the field of artificial intelligence: AlphaGo, a program developed by Google’s DeepMind unit, has defeated legendary Go player Lee Se-dol in the first of five historic matches being held in Seoul, South Korea. Lee 【1】 after about three and a half hours, with 28 minutes and 28 seconds remaining on his clock. The series is the first time a professional 9-dan Go player has taken on a computer, and Lee is 【2】 for a $1 million prize.

“I was very surprised,”said Lee after the match.“I didn’t expect to lose. But I didn’t think AlphaGo would play the game in such a perfect manner.”DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis expressed“huge 【3】 for Lee Se-dol and his amazing skills.”calling the game“hugely exciting”and“very tense.”Team lead David Silver said it was an“amazing game of Go that really pushed AlphaGo to its 【4】.”

Go is an ancient Chinese board game that has long been considered one of the great 【5】faced by AI. While computer programs ow best the world’s leading human players of games like checkers and chess, the high level of intuition and 【6】required by Go has made it tough for computers to crack. DeepMind’s AlphaGo program is the most 【7】effort yet, using a complex system of deep neural networks and machine learning; it beat European champion Fan Hui last year, but Lee Se-dol is another 【8】 rival entirely.

“I don’t regret accepting this challenge,”said Lee.“I am in shock, I admit that, but what’s done is done. I enjoyed this game and look forward to the next. I think I failed on the opening layout so if I do a better job on the opening aspect I think I will be able to increase my 【9】 of winning.”Lee was surprised both by how strong AlphaGo’s opening was, and by some 【10】moves.

41、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Last Saturday, when I was checking out at the grocery store, the woman in front of me caught my attention. She was in a red coat and had long hair. She was pushing one shopping cart with a basket in front. The basket held just a few items：corm, a lot of bread, some canned goods and a bunch of gorgeous colored roses. Several times when I was looking at her, I caught her looking at those lovely roses and smiling. I thought she must like roses very much. Therefore, I commented that those roses were, indeed, very lovely and beautiful. She said, “Roses are my favorite flowers, and I really do love them.”

Then, when I was waiting to bill my items, I heard the woman say to the cashier, “Em…, you can put those roses back, because I really can’t afford them now. I don’t have enough money.”

On hearing that, I asked her if she allowed me to buy them for her. She shook her head and said, “Why would you want to do that? You certainly don’t have to.” I replied that I just wanted to give her “a special thing” because she loved them so much. However, she still seemed hesitant. Then I told her that she would be doing me a great kindness if she allowed me to gift them to her. With tears in her eyes, she agreed and said, “I really do love them. Thank you very much.”

The moment I handed the cashier the money for the roses, I noticed he was a little teary too. As I said goodbye to him and began to walk away, I found the woman holding the roses and staring at me at the gate.
