26、   Dogs are considered by many to be man’s best friend and with millions of dogs owned by families in the US, it is highly likely that many dogs are in need of some amount of training. Since dogs can hear sounds at much higher frequencies (频率) than humans, there is a wonderful tool for the training of a dog. It is an app (应用程序) called the Dog Whistle. This isn’t your typical whistle in that it produces sounds at a frequency that is unable to be heard by humans. This unique app will allow you to train your dog without the need of a dog whistle.

The Dog Whistle free app was created by an app developer Maoli Wang specifically for dog owners who are looking for a way to communicate with their dogs in order to be able to either train them or alert (使警觉) them when the noise around is too great for them to hear you call them. By simply fixing the app on your iPhone, it will immediately turn itself into a dog whistle.

The app includes a very powerful system that is able to create different tones ranging from 16,000 to 40,000 Hz in order for a dog to be able to hear it. The app also has an on-screen sound meter in order for the user to monitor the sound level being produced. In that way, they can decide on which frequency works best for their dog. What’s more, the app easily produces the requested tones at the frequencies necessary to be used to communicate with your dog by simply tapping the screen of your phone.

The app was designed to be used in place of a dog whistle in order to get your dogs attention when it is too noisy around them. The sound produced through the app is at a level that only dogs are able to hear and they will respond to the sound. If you own a dog and are having behavioral issues with them, you would surely benefit from the Dog Whistle free app available by clicking here.

【1】What is the development of the app based on according to the first paragraph?

A.Dogs’ good hearing. B.People’s love for dogs.

C.The use of smart phones. D.Dog owner’s interest in training.

【2】How does the app help in training a dog?

A.It records the ways the dog responds to sounds.

B.It produces beautiful sounds that interest the dog.

C.It produces whistles at a frequency intended for the dog.

D.It suggests a proper way to communicate with the dog.

【3】Where is the app advised to be used?

A.In a strange situation. B.In a noisy situation.

C.In an unsafe situation. D.In a difficult situation.

【4】The text is probably from ________.

A.magazine B.newspaper C.website D.radio

27、   A breathtaking trick potentially left over from our ancestors might be found in us — the ability to sense oxygen through our skin.

Amphibians, animals such as frogs that can live both on land and in water, have long been known to be capable of breathing through their skin. In fact, the first known lungless frog that breathes only through its skin was discovered recently in the rivers of Borneo.

Now the same oxygen sensors found in frog skins and in the lungs of mammals (哺乳动物) have unexpectedly been discovered in the skin of mice.

“No one had ever looked,” explained Randall Johnson, a biologist researcher.

Mice and frogs are quite distant relatives, so the fact they have these molecules (分子) in common in their skin suggests they might well be found in the skin of other mammals, such as humans.

“We have no reason to think that they are not in the skin of people too,” Johnson said.

These molecules not only detect oxygen, but help increase levels of vital red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. Normal mice breathing in air that is 10 percent oxygen—a dangerously low level similar to conditions at the top of Mount Everest, and about half that of air at sea level. However, mice that had the oxygen sensor HIF-1a genetically removed from their skin failed to produce this hormone (荷尔蒙) even after hours of such low oxygen.

These findings, if they hold true in humans, suggest one could raise the level of oxygen circulating inside the body. This could help treat lung diseases and disorders such as anemia (贫血症) without injecting drugs, which make up a multibillion-dollar market, Johnson said.

Athletes also often try to get more oxygen delivered to their muscles in order to improve their performance. They often do this by training at high altitudes or in low-oxygen tents. The new study suggests they might want to expose their skin as well as breathing in low-oxygen air to improve their performance. “It’s hard to say what exactly might be done, however—there’s a lot we don’t know yet,” Johnson explained.

The scientists detailed their findings in the April 18 issue of the journal Cell.

【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Johnson believes that Oxygen sensors also exist in human skin.

B.People have to surf the Internet to read detailed findings.

C.It has been proved that these findings help treat lung diseases.

D.It has long been expected oxygen sensors exist in mice’s skin.

【2】One of the functions of the molecules mentioned above is _______.

A.carrying oxygen around the body B.improving athletes’ performance

C.detecting oxygen D.increasing level of oxygen

【3】What is Johnson’s attitude to the application of the findings to the athletes’ training?

A.Negative B.Doubting

C.Positive D.Hesitating

【4】The best title of the passage may be _______.

A.Great Findings Benefits Athletes A Lot

B.Frogs And Mice Are Distant Relatives

C.First Known Animal Breathes Through Skin

D.Humans Might Sense Oxygen Through Skin

28、Anyone who cares about what schools and colleges teach and how their students learn will be interested in the memoir (回忆录) of Ralph W. Tyler, who is one of the most famous men in American education.

Born in Chicago in 1902, brought up and schooled in Nebraska, the 19-year-old college graduate Ralph Tyler became hooked on teaching while teaching as a science teacher in South Dakota and changed his major from medicine to education.

Graduate work at the University of Chicago found him connected with honorable educators Charles Judd and W. W. Charters, whose ideas of teaching and testing had an effect on his later work. In 1927, he became a teacher of Ohio State University where he further developed a new method of testing.

Tyler became well-known nationally in 1938, when he carried his work with the Eight-Year Study from Ohio State University to the University of Chicago at the invitation of Robed Hutchins.

Tyler was the first director of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, a position he held for fourteen years. There, he firmly believed that researchers should be free to seek an independent spirit in their work.

Although Tyler officially retired (退休) in 1967, he never actually retired. He served on a long list of educational organizations in the United States and abroad. Even in his 80s he traveled across the country to advise teachers and management people on how to set objectives (目标) that develop the best teaching and learning within their schools.

【1】Who are most probably interested in Ralph W. Tyler’s memoir?

A．Top managers.

B．Language learners.

C．Serious educators.

D．Science researchers.

【2】The words “hooked on teaching” underlined in Paragraph 2 probably mean ______.

A．attracted to teaching

B．tired of teaching

C．satisfied with teaching

D．unhappy about teaching

【3】Where did Tyler work as the leader of a research center for over 10 years?

A．The University of Chicago.

B．Stanford University.

C．Ohio State University.

D．Nebraska University.

【4】Tyler is said to have never actually retired because _________.

A．he developed a new method of testing

B．he called for free spirit in research

C．he was still active in giving advice

D．he still led the Eight-Year Study

29、Build Your Own Kite

Windy springtime is the perfect season for kite flying. Whether you’re an old hand or are just getting started, there’s no reason not to take your adventures with kites to the next level. This year, it’s time to build your own kite! 【1】, since every family member can help with both the building part and the flying of the finishes.

【2】, whether they’re box kites or traditional diamond-shaped ones. They all have a bone, the stick that forms the center-line of the kite. They also all have structures that sits perpendicular (垂直的) to the bone and helps create the body of the kite. 【3】, and sometimes they’re straight. When both parts are joined together, they are called the frame (框架).

Every kite begins with a frame that’s then covered in some material such as paper, plastic, or cloth. 【4】. Make sure it’s something you’ll be able to see from the ground and that will stand out well against a blue or gray sky.

Kites also have strings attached to the bone or structures. 【5】. There’s a tail, a ribbon or string at the end that helps control the body. And of course there’s the flying line, the string that runs from the kite’s string to the person on the ground.

A.This is a great family project

B.The color really makes the kite

C.Sometimes the structures are bent

D.All kites consist of the same basic parts
