27、   A beautiful and rich lady always told her doctor that she showed no interest in anything. so the doctor called over an old woman named Mary. She cleaned the office floors. The doctor said to the rich lady, “All I want you to do is to listen to Mary's story.”

Mary sat on a chair and told her story, “Well, my husband died of cancer and three months later my only son died in a car accident. I had nothing left. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't eat. I never smiled at anyone. I thought life meant nothing to me. I even thought of ending my own life. Then one evening a cat followed me home from work. I felt sorry for that cat. It was cold outside, so I decided to let it in. I gave it some milk, and it soon had it. Then it rubbed against my leg. and for the first time, I smiled. I even felt kind of happy. Then I stopped to think, if helping a cat could make me smile, maybe doing something for other people could make me happy as well. Every day I tried to do something nice for someone, even though I didn't know them. Now I can sleep and eat better than before. I've found what really makes me happy.”

28、   In recent years, experiments examining exercise and weight loss have found that people lose far much less weight than expected, considering how many additional calories(卡路里) they are burning with their workouts.

Scientists have guessed that exercisers are likely to become hungrier and eat more after working out. They also may sit longer when not doing exercise. Together or separately, these changes could make up for the extra energy used during exercise.

To prove that possibility, scientists came up with the idea of using infrared light(红外线) to track mice’s movements in their cages. Then software can use that information to analyse their daily physical activity.

So the researchers prepared special cages, putting inside some locked running wheels, and let mice roam(闲逛) and explore for four days in the cages. This provided the researchers with information about how many calories each mouse burned every day.

Then the wheels were unlocked and for nine days, the mice could run at will, and they could decide how much to eat and when to get off the wheels, walking around. The mice,which enjoyed running, jumped readily on the wheels and started to run. On and off the wheels, they could run for hours. They showed a following height in their daily energy expenditure(支出) since they had added exercise to their lives.

But they did not change their eating habits. Although they were burning more calories, they did not eat more. They did, however, change how they moved. They now usually jogged on their wheels for a few minutes, jumped off, rested or roamed in a while, and then climbed back on the wheels, ran, rested, briefly roamed, and it repeated. These changes in how they spent their time almost counteracted(抵消) the extra calorie costs from running, says Daniel Lark, who led the new study.

What caused the running mice to run less is still uncertain. 'But it does not seem to have been tiredness or lack of time; wheel running is not arduous for mice, and does not fill their waking hours.' Dr. Lark says.

Instead, he says, it is likely that the animals’ bodies and brains sensed the increasing energy expenditure when the mice began to run and sent out biological signals that somehow advised the animals to slow down, save energy and lose weight.

Mice will never be people, of course, so we cannot say whether the results of this would directly apply to us, Dr. Lark says. But the results do indicate that if we hope to lose more weight through, we should watch what we eat and try not to move less while we work out more.

【1】What did NOT change for the mice in the experiment?

A.How they moved. B.How long they ran.

C.How much they chose to eat. D.How they spent their time.

【2】What happened to the mice in the experiment according to the 6th paragraph?

A.They didn't like to run the wheels. B.They ate more after running the wheels.

C.They spent less time roaming in the cage. D.They didn't need rest after running the wheels.

【3】The underlined word 'arduous' in paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _______.

A.tiring B.energetic C.difficult D.different

【4】Which of the following statements may Dr. Lark agree with?

A.Wheel running costs the same amount of energy as roaming does.

B.The mice ran more because they really wanted to lose weight.

C.The experiment is a failure because the results don't apply to humans.

D.It might not be tiredness that caused the mice to run less.

【5】The purpose of writing this passage is _______.

A.to prove that scientists' guess about exercising is wrong

B.to introduce a recent research on exercise and weight loss

C.to analyze how wheel running changes mice's movements

D.to explain why eating and running are bad for exercisers

29、While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students in Auckland, New Zealand. They became the world’s first kids to be “taught” by a digital teacher. Before you start imagining a human-like robot walking around the classroom, Will is just an avatar that appears on the student’s desktop, or smartphone screen, when ordered to come.

The autonomous animation platform has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system, allowing it to show human-like behavior. The digital teacher is assigned to teach Vector’s “Be sustainable with energy”— a free program for Auckland elementary schools.

Just like the humans it replaced, Will is able to instantly react to the students’ responses to the topic. Thanks to a webcam and microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have, but also picks up non-verbal cues. For instance, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back. This two-way interaction not only helps attract the students’ attention, but also allows the program’s developers to monitor their engagement, and make changes if needed.

Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars could be a novel way to catch the attention of the next generation. He says, “I have a lot of hope in this technology as a means to deliver cost-effective, rich, educational experience in the future.”

The program, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. Ravishankar says, “ What was fascinating to me was the reaction of the children to Will. The way they look at the world is so creative and different, and Will really captured their attention.” However, regardless of how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.

【1】What was special for some elementary school students in Auckland?

A．A digital teacher taught them.

B．They first saw something digital.

C．This was the start of a new school year.

D．They could get close to smartphone screen.

【2】What is the benefit of this two-way interaction?

A．It can smile back.

B．It can use microphone.

C．It can talk any topic for free.

D．It can change if necessary.

【3】What’s Ravishankar’s attitude to Will’s replacing Human educators soon?

A．Optimistic.

B．Doubtful.

C．Unclear.

D．Disapproving.

【4】What might be the best title for the passage?

A．New High-tech Contributes to Education

B．The World’s First Digital Teacher Appears in Classroom.

C．The World’s First Digital Teacher, a Help to Students

D．New Zealand Will Replace Teachers in Classrooms

30、I teach biology at UNLV three times per week. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I ________ asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth ________. Then he went on to ask me why I ________ to be so cheerful.

But just then my car ________. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn’t ________. So I put my     flashers on, took my books, and ________ down the road to the college.

“As soon as I got there, I called AAA (汽车协会) and ________ for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary there asked me what had happened. “This is my ________ day,” I replied, smiling.

“Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?” She was puzzled. “What do you mean?” “I live 17 miles from here”, I replied. “My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway.   It didn’t. ________, it broke down in the ________ place: off the freeway,   within   walking     distance of here. I’m still able to teach my class, and I’ve been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class. If my car was ________ to break down today, it couldn’t have been arranged in a more convenient fashion. ” The secretary’s eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. I smiled back and headed for class. So ended my story to the students in my economics class.

I ________ the 60 faces in the lecture hall. Despite the early hour, no one seemed to be asleep.

________, my story had touched them. Or maybe it wasn’t the story at all. ________, it had all started with a student’s ________ that I was cheerful. A wise man once said: “Who you are speaks louder to me   than anything you can say”. I suppose it must be so.
