In 1930, German scientists invented the tape we use today. Back then the tape was on big rolls. In 1964 the Philips company in Holland invented the cassette. It’s pretty much a holder for the tape. People use cassettes all over the world. If you don’t have a cassette recorder, borrow one. Think of a book your parents read out loud to you. That might be a great book to read out loud to your mom or dad in their car. Put a cassette in the recorder, open the book, hit the record button and start reading out loud. Remember there is no such a thing as a wrong way to do this. You might think you’ve made a mistake, but this gift is part of you, and nothing about that can be a mistake. It’s impossible. You get to be all artistic and creative here. You might want to play music in the background. Do whatever you want. The gift is you, so you decide. Remember to say “I love you”at the end of your reading. That’s like the prize at the end of the book. 1. Why does the author mention the history of tape recorders in Paragraph 1? A.

Computer expert Nat Morris, 30, has designed a system to give his pet a “tweet treat” by sending him a Twitter message. His dog Toby gets some delicious dog biscuits from a computer-controlled food machine whenever Nat sends a message to “@feedtoby”. Nat often works away from home and isn’t always able to feed Toby by hand. But his new invention allows Nat to feed his dog from anywhere in the world. Nat said, “Toby absolutely loves it. At first he didn’t know what was going on. Now he sits underneath the machine, wagging his tail and waiting for the treats to drop.” Nat fills the food machine with small pieces of dog biscuits, but not too many in case four-year-old Toby gets too many messages. And Nat has even equipped his house with an online camera so he can see Toby enjoying the food at his home. But one problem is that friends and family have been so amazed with the “Tweet treat” machine that. they have starting to send tweets to Toby too. So Nat has had to restrict feeding time to make sure Toby doesn’t turn into Tubby。 “People have been sending him food at all hours of the day, so I had to limit it to between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.. I’m thinking of doing an updated one which measures his weight before he is fed, just to make sure he’s not putting on too much puppy fat,” explained Nat. How Nat’s Twitter Feeder Works: When a message is sent to @feedtoby it is received by a mini-computer that is linked to the food machine. When the mini-computer receives the message, a bell rings and Toby comes running over and sits in front of the feeding machine. Next the machine’s motor pulls open a trap door which releases 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 a serving of food. The doggy biscuits then drops into Toby's food bowl. Finally a digital camera takes a photo of him and sends it back to Nat on Twitter - so he knows Toby has been fed. 31. Nat has invented a high-tech way to feed his dog because he __________. A. wants his friends to feed Tody B. has very strong computing skills C. is often too busy to feed his dog D. doesn’t like to feed Tody by hand 32. Why has Nat decided to limit the feeding machine’s opening time? A. He doesn’t want Toby to get too fat. B. He fears the machine will run out of food. C. He wants hid friends to stop feeding Toby. D. He doesn’t want Toby to be woken up at night. 33. It can be learned from the passage that Toby _______. A. sits beneath his feeder all day long B. is now used to being fed by machine C. doesn’t know what happens to the feeder D. no longer receives tweets from Nat’s friends 34.

In a recent study, scientists found a connection between nap-time (午睡时间) dreams and better memory in people who were learning a new skill. So perhaps one way to learn something new is to practice, practise, practise---and then sleep on it. “I was surprised by this finding,” Robert Stickgold, a Harvard University scientist who led the study. In the study, 100 college students each spent an hour on a computer, trying to get through a virtual maze (虚拟迷宫). The maze was difficult, and the study participants had to start in a different place each time they tried---making it even more difficult. Then, for the first 90 minutes of a five-hour break, half of the participants were required to stay awake while half were told to sleep. Participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts. Participants who slept were asked to describe any dream they had. Stickgold and his colleagues wanted to know about NREM, or non-REM sleep. REM stands for “rapid eye movement”, which is what happens during REM sleep. This period of sleep often brings strange dreams to a sleeper, although dreams can happen in both kinds of sleep. Stickgold wanted to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes weren’t moving, during NREM sleep. Other studies have found a connection between NREM bring activity and learning ability. Four of the 50 people who slept said their dreams were about the maze. Later, when these four people tried the computer maze again, they were able to complete it faster. Stickgold believes the dream itself doesn;t help a person learn---it’s the other way around. He suspects that such dreams are caused by the brain processes associated with learning. All the maze-dreamers had done the task poorly the first time, which makes Stickgold wonder if the NREM dreams show up when a person finds a new task particularly difficult. People who had other dreams, or people didn't sleep, didn't show the same improvement. 36. In the first stage of the study, the participants were asked to A. design a maze on computer B. find their way out of a maze C. decide where to begin a maze D. remember a location in a maze 37. What happened to the participants during the break? 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 6 A. Half of them were woken up when they started to dream. B. Half of them were asked to dram about the maze. C. All of them were asked to describe their thoughts. D. Half of them were asked to sleep for 90 minutes. 38. What can we learn from the passage? A. Everyone will dream about a new skill after learning it. B. Stickgold was the first to study dreams and learning. C. During NREM sleep, people usually don’t dream. D. Unusual dreams often occur during REM sleep. 39. In the first stage of the study, the participants were asked to A. design a maze on computer B. find their way out of a maze C. decide where to begin a maze D. remember a location in a maze 40. Which of the following statement best summarizes the study’s conclusion? A. Dreams have a role in learning. B. Dreams have no basis in reality. C. Dreams are important for health. D. Dreams are the best way to study. 【参考答案】36-40 BDDAA 2016 高考英语阅读理解--日常生活类 Friends come to visit us in the evening, they spend their time telling us they are in a hurry and looking at their watches．It isn’t that our friends are all very busy, it is just that When we haven’t got a television．People think that we are very strange．“But what do you do in the evening?”，they are always asking．The answer is very simple．Both my wife and I have hobbies．We certainly don’t spend our evenings staring at the walls．My wife enjoys cooking and painting and often attends evening classes in foreign languages．This is particularly useful as we often go abroad for our holidays．I collect stamps and I’m always busy with my collection．Both of us enjoy listening to the music and playing chess together． 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 7 Sometimes there are power cuts and we have no electricity in the house．This does not worry us, we just light candles and carry on with what we were doing before．Our friends, however, are lost---no television!---So they don’t know what to do．On such evenings our house is very full ---they all come to us．They all have a good time．Instead of sitting in silence in front of the television, everybody talks and plays games． 【小题 1】The couple have not got a television, because ． A．they are not rich enough B．they are strange people C．they enjoy spending evenings in their own ways D．they don’t know what to do when there are power cuts 【小题 2】Both of the couple are interested in ． A．learning languages B．traveling C．staying home alone D．watching people play games 【小题 3】At night when there is no electricity, the couple ． A．have to stare at the walls B．can do nothing but sit in silence C．will have many visitors D．have to go out for candles 【小题 4】The writer tries to tell us that ____． A．the television is useful B．electricity is important C．life is enjoyable without television D．life is impossible without a television 2、
