27、Electrical devices(仪器)could soon use power made by human energy. Scientists say they have developed an experimental device that produces electricity from the physical movement of a person walking , British scientist Max Donelan and other scientists in Canada and the United States developed the device.

The device connects to a person’s knee. As the person walks ,the device captures energy each time the person slows down. To do this ,the device helps with the slowing sown movement of the leg, the movements of the walking person push parts of a small machine that produces electricity. Using the device, an adult walking quickly could produce thirteen watts of electricity in just a minute. Donelan says walking at that speed could produce enough power to operate a laptop computer for six minutes.

There are several possible uses for the device. Developers say it could help people who work in areas without electricity to operate small computers. The device could also he used in hospitals to operate heart pacemakers(起博器), it could even be used to assist in the movement of robotic arms and legs.

The experimental version of the device weighs about one and a half kilograms, but it is too costly for most people to buy, but the researchers hope to make a lighter, less costly version, An improved version should be ready in one year.

The developers hope the device will one day help developing countries; nearly twenty five percent of people around the world live without electric power.

A similar product was invented in 2005 by Larry Rome of the University of Pennsylvania, He created a bag carried on a person’s back that also produces power from walking. The knee device does not produce as much electricity as the bag, but the bag requires the walker to carry a load of twenty to thirty kilograms.

【1】The second paragraph mainly talks about

A.who developed the device

B.how the device works

C.several possible uses for the devices

D.how much electricity the device can produce

【2】What is the disadvantage of the experimental version of the device?

A.It is too heavy for the walker to bear

B.It is too complex for people to use

C.It is too expensive for most people to afford

D.It will slow down one’s walking speed

【3】Compared with the device designed by Larry Rome, this new device

A.produces power without adding more loads to the walker

B.can produce more power in a much shorter time

C.needs to be equipped with a battery

D.can help the walker walk faster

【4】From the passage, we can learn that the electrical device can

A.help housewives operate the washing machine

B.make it much easier for us to go online

C.produce more electricity than that invented by Larry Rome

D.be applied in medical fields to operate heart pacemakers

【5】What would be the best title for the passage

A.First device powered by walking will soon be on the market

B.Advanced technology brings in a new way to operate heart pacemakers

C.Device gives new meaning to the idea of power walking

D.Human energy will become a main source of electricity

28、There are many useful suggestions and pieces of advice that can help one to improve English. Here are some useful suggestions and new tips to increase one’s English language vocabulary.

Learning English vocabulary is about much more than just learning the right words. A broad grasp of vocabulary in the English language is based on understanding important expressions.

Learning a word will not help very much if you quickly forget it. Research shows that it takes from 10 to 20 repetitions to really make a word part of your vocabulary. Since most words are learned from how they are used in context, the more words one is shown, the better vocabulary one will have. Keep a piece of paper close to you. When you read, pay more attention to the word you do not know, write the word down and try to figure out its meaning from the context. Then look up the word in a dictionary.

Remember that if you do not use English words that you have just learned in conversation or writing, you will forget them very quickly. So the best way to learn new words effectively is just by trying to use them in conversation and writing. Remember also that practice is the key to fluent spoken English.

Building vocabulary is a life-long task. Remember, “In the beginning was the word.” Your future could depend on how rich your vocabulary is. It will also determine the quality of your communication.

【1】We can learn from the passage that learning English vocabulary .

A．is just about learning the right words

B．is about remembering more and more words

C．doesn’t require one to learn expressions

D．requires one to understand important expressions

【2】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．It doesn’t take long to build one’s vocabulary

B．If you remember a word, you are still able to forget it if you don’t use it.

C．To master a word, you need to repeat it 10-20 times.

D．Practice is very important in fluent spoken English.

【3】The best way to learn new words is .

A．reading them loudly over and over again

B．writing them down over and over again

C．trying to use them while speaking and writing

D．always looking them up in the dictionary

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．How to have a good conversation in English

B．How to enrich your English vocabulary

C．Why context is important in learning English

D．How to improve the quality of communication

29、   Herman Melville, the writer of the famous whale story Moby Dick, wrote that humpback whales (座头鲸) were “the most light-hearted of all the whales.” They swim in ocean areas close to land and are active at the surface often jumping out of the water and coming down with a great splash. They are intelligent animals and can be seen working together as they hunt masses of small fish. And, if you listen closely, you might even hear one singing.

Marine biologist Jim Darling has studied the songs of humpback whales for 25 years. While recording whale song on a boat near Hawaii, he invited author Douglas Chadwick to experience diving with a humpback. In the water, the way Chadwick heard the whale’s songs changed completely. “Suddenly, I no longer heard the whale’s voice in my ears. I felt it inside my head and bones.” He clearly sensed the whale’s silent awareness of him. The 13-meter-long giant looked him over curiously, but never harmed him.

The whale then swam under the boat. It pointed its head down to the ocean floor and, with flippers (鳍) extended out to its sides, began to sing. Up in the boat, Darling recorded the whale’s song. Such songs may be long and complex, lasting for 30 minutes or more; they are perhaps the longest songs sung by an animal.

Darling says that only male humpbacks sing, but for unknown reasons. It was previously thought that they sang to attract females, but scientists showed this was incorrect when they played recordings of whale songs in the ocean and no females came around. Another idea is that male humpbacks compete with each other using songs, just as other male animals do using antlers (触角).

In addition to their long and mysterious songs, humpbacks make a variety of other sounds as they communicate every day. When alarmed by enemies such as killer whales, or when the feeding 1s especially good, the sounds they produce can be louder than an airplane engine.

During the days of heavy whale hunting, the world humpback population was reduced from an estimated 125,000 to around 6,000 animals. Thanks to laws against hunting, humpbacks now number perhaps 30,000 animals altogether. The constantly moving humpbacks are very difficult to count. However, it now seems that this mysterious singer will continue to sing for years to come.

【1】What may be the reason for humpback whales’ singing?

A.To compete with other males. B.To show they are light-hearted.

C.To communicate with humans. D.To look for food for their group.

【2】Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a situation in which humpbacks make sounds?

A.When they are frightened. B.When they have found lots of food.

C.When they communicate with each other. D.When humans enter the water with them.

【3】What does the underlined word “this” refer to in Paragraph 4?

A.The idea that male humpbacks sing.

B.The idea that male humpbacks sing to attract females.

C.The idea that female humpbacks sing to attract males.

D.The idea that males compete with each other by singing songs.

【4】What is this passage mainly about?

A.How to record humpbacks in the ocean.

B.How humpbacks communicate with people.

C.Humpback songs and what they might mean.

D.The career of a man who is interested in humpbacks.
