26、 Samsung has given the public a first look at its new foldable (可折叠的) smartphone. The South Korea-based technology company first announced plans to build a fully foldable phone five years ago. The phone is designed to fold open to be as big as a small tablet. It can also perform some operations of a tablet. When folded closed, the phone looks and works like a normal smartphone.
Justin Denison is Samsung’s vice president of mobile product marketing. He showed the phone, which he said marked a major breakthrough in future smartphone technology. He said Samsung had to invent new materials and methods and “completely re-imagine the display.” And one of the biggest difficulties was finding a material that was flexible(灵活的), but also strong enough to support repeated folding and unfolding of the phone.
Denison said the phone will permit users to keep up to three apps open at one time. With normal-size smartphones, users have to keep changing between apps.“We have been living in a world where the size of a screen could only be as large as the phone itself,” Denison said.
Technology experts see the new foldable design as a way to get users to buy a new smartphone seen as a revolutionary(革命者). More people are deciding to hold onto smartphones longer because the latest phones do not offer major improvements and can be very costly. This behavior is one reason for a steady decrease in worldwide smartphone sales over the past year.
Research company IDC reported smartphone sales fell by 4 percent during the 12-month period ending in September 2018. Samsung, the world’s leading seller of smartphones, suffered a 7 percent drop during the period, IDC said. It remains to be seen whether foldable phones will become popular quickly. The phones are expected to cost more than US$1,000.
【1】Which of the following descriptions is true about the foldable phone?
A.It was designed by Justin Denison five years ago.
B.It looks like a normal-size smartphone when folded open.
C.It allows users to keep up to three apps open at one time.

【2】What is the difficulty in making the foldable phone mentioned in the text?
A.To find new methods to reduce costs. B.To display the phone to the public.
C.To find skills to keep changing between apps. D.To invent new materials to make it.
【3】Why are smartphone sales declining, according to the text?
A.The quality of smartphones is getting better and better.
B.New smartphones don’t have major improvements and can be expensive.
C.The new designs of smartphones are not popular with the public.
D.The foldable phone is not for sale yet.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

27、 Would you carry around an electronic ID, not in your pocket, but in your body? Does this idea scare you or make you feel safe?
The first computer ID chip(芯片) that could be planted under a person’s skin might be marketed very soon.
Developed by Applied Digital, an American technology company based in Florida, the device(发明物) could meet the need for public security(安全) after the September 11 attacks.
For airports, nuclear power plants(核电站) and other high security facilities, the immediate effects are obvious.
The technology could help put an end to false ID cards, because it would be difficult to remove and copy a tiny computer chip. The chip is as small as a grain of rice.
The technology would also allow satellites to track a person’s every movement and store medical records.
These uses are already attracting interest for tasks like fighting against kidnappings(绑架), or helping with medical operations.
But some people are afraid of the loss of privacy(隐私).
“You always have to think about what the device could be used for tomorrow,” said Lee Tien, a senior privacy lawyer in the United States.
“At first a device is used for applications we all agree are good, but then it slowly starts being used for more than it was intended,” he said.
However, Applied Digital says it will soon apply for government permission for the device. It says that the first people to use the chip will be volunteers.
Getting the implant(需移植的芯片) would go something like this:
A person or company buys the chip from Applied Digital for about US $ 200. And the company encodes(编码) it with the desired information.
The customer then takes the chip to their doctor, who can plant it with a large needle.
The device has no power supply, rather it is activated(使活动, 使运行) by a scanner(扫描仪) running across the skin above it. Without a scanner, the chip cannot be read.
Even with the privacy concern, some are already eager to use the product.
Jell Jacobs from Florida hopes to become the first buyer of the chip to store his medical records. Suffering from a serious illness, he wants to make sure doctors can help him quickly.
Eight Latin American companies have also shown interests in the device. It could help to find any tourists who are kidnapped.
【1】The best title for the passage is _______.
A.Why Is the New ID Necessary B.Getting a New Kind of ID Under Your Skin
C.An Advertisement for Chips D.Where to Buy the Chip
【2】Which of the following is true according to the text?
A.In some airports and factories such device is already being used.
B.The information on the chip can be read when it has its power supply.
C.The technology could help put an end to false ID cards.
D.The first computer ID chip has already come into the market.
【3】What is the advantage with the electronic ID according to the passage?
A.It can store people’s medical records and help with medical operations.
B.With this people will have no fear of losing privacy.
C.It’s cheap to buy and easy to get.
D.It is developed by Applied Digital in Florida.
【4】What can we learn about Jeff Jacobs?
A.He’s a worker in Applied Digital, a company in Florida.
B.He’s a doctor who helps plant tile chips on people.
C.He fears if he uses the chip he will lose privacy.
D.He’s suffering from a serious illness and wants to buy the chip.
28、Thomas Panek has completed 20 marathons, however, he made history on Sunday at the New York City Half Marathon.
While visually impaired(视觉障碍)runners usually use human guides, Mr Panek became the first person to complete the race supported by guide dogs. A trio of Labradors - Westley, Waffle and Gus - each accompanied (陪伴) him for a third of the race. The team finished in two hours and 21 minutes.
Mr Panek, who lost his sight in his early 20s, showed that while he appreciated the support of human volunteers, he missed the feeling of independence. In 2015, Mr Panek established the Running Guides programme which trains dogs to support runners.
When selecting his companions for the race, Mr Panek chose siblings Waffle and Westley to join Gus, who is his full-time guide dog. “The relationship is really important. You can’t just pick up the harness (挽带) and go for a run with these dogs,” Mr Panek said. “You’re training with a team no matter what kind of athlete you are, and you want to spend time together in that training camp.”
Each dogs sets its own pace — Westley runs an eight minute mile, while his sister Waffle can cover the same distance in six minutes—and helps Mr Panek avoid obstacles such as kerbs(路缘)and cones (锥体). Each dog wears a special harness and set of running boots, to protect their paws.
Gus was chosen to run the final leg of the race and cross the finish line with Mr Panek. He retired from his duties as a guide dog at the end of the race.
According to Mr Panek, guide dogs give visually impaired people the freedom to “do whatever it is a sighted person does, and sometimes, even run a little faster than them”.

A.He set a new record of time in running the half marathon.

Why You Should Never Cross Your Legs
Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people don’t even notice that they’re doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.
A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason this happens is because the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart, crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate(循环). This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart.
Crossing your legs can also lead to neck and back pain. Ideally, it's best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat, hip width apart, on the floor, but it's not easy to maintain perfect posture all day at the office. When you sit with your legs crossed your hips are in a twisted position, which can cause one of your pelvic (骨盆的) bones to move. Since your pelvic bone supports your back and neck: this can cause pressure on your lower and middle back and neck.
Leg crossing has long been linked to manners. In some countries and cultures leg crossing is looked on as casual, disrespectful, and altogether lower class. For the same reasons, many religions frown upon leg crossing in church. And what's good for the soul should be good for the feet as well. But respect aside, your health is affected in the long run if you are accustomed to crossing legs although you might not feel its immediate effects. The problem is really caused by siting in the first place. Don't make yourself comfortable--- get up and get moving.
