They will help shoppers find cups or toilet soap，and keep a record of the bill.‎ The touchscreen devices (触摸屏装置) are on show at the Food Marketing Institute's exhibition here this week.“These devices are able to create value and get you around the store quicker，” said Michael Alexander，manager of Springboard Retail Networks Inc.，which makes a smart cart computer called the Concierge.‎ Canadian stores will test the Concierge in July.A similar device，IBM's “shopping buddy”， has recently been testmarketed at Stop & Shop stores in Massachusetts.‎ Neither device tells you how many fat grams or calories are in your cart，but 21‎ ‎ they will flash you with items on sale.The idea is to make it easier for people to buy，not to have second thoughts that maybe you should put something back on the shelf.‎ ‎“The whole model is driven by advertisers' need to get in front of shoppers，”said Alexander.“They're not watching 30second TV ads anymore.”‎ People can use a home computer to make their shopping lists.Once at the store，a shopper can use a preferred customer card to start a system that will organize the trip around the store.If you're looking for toothpicks，you type in the word or pick it from a list，and a map will appear on the screen showing where you are and where you can find them.‎ The devices also keep a record of what you buy.When you're finished，the device figures out your bill.Then you go to the checker or place your card into a selfcheckout stand and pay.‎ The new computerized shopping assistants don't come cheap.The Buddy devices will cost the average store about $160，000，and the Concierge will cost stores about $500 for each device.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文介绍了新电脑在商场的应用使得手推车更加智能。‎ ‎21．The underlined word “They” (Paragraph 1) refers to ________.‎ A．supermarkets　　　　　　　 B．shop assistants C．shopping carts D．shop managers 解析：选C　词义猜测题。由上文提到“make shopping carts more intelligent (具备智能的)”，然后出现了They，由此可知答案为C。‎ ‎22．Which of the following is the correct order of shopping with the computerized shopping carts?‎ a．Start the system.‎ b．Make a shopping list.‎ c．Find the things you want.‎ d．Go to a selfcheckout stand.‎ A．a－b－d－c B．b－a－c－d C．a－c－b－d D．b－c－a－d 解析：选B　细节理解题。由文中第六、七段可以看出，这种智能购物车的使用顺序，故选B。‎ ‎23．We can learn from the last paragraph that ________.‎ A．intelligent shopping carts cost a large sum of money 21‎ B．the Concierge is cheaper than the Buddy devices C．shop assistants with computer knowledge are well paid D．average stores prefer the Concierge to the Buddy devices 解析：选A　推理判断题。由文中最后一段，$160,000和$500可知答案为A。‎ ‎24．What might be the most suitable title for the text?‎ A．New Age for Supermarkets B．Concierge and Shopping Buddy C．New Computers Make Shopping Carts Smarter D．Touchscreen Devices Make Shopping Enjoyable 解析：选C　标题归纳题。通读全文可知答案为C。‎ B Researchers are placing robotic dogs (机器狗) in the homes of lonely old people to determine whether they can improve the quality of life for humans.Alan Beck，an expert in humananimal relationship，and Nancy Edwards，a professor of nursing，are leading the animalassisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old people's depression，physical activity，and life satisfaction.“No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active，challenged，or stimulated (刺激)，” Edwards points out.“The problem is how we promote (使……成为现实) that，especially for those without friends or help.A robotic dog could be a solution.”‎ In the study，the robot，called AIBO，is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone.Before placing AIBO in the home，researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks.These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activities before and after AIBO.Then，the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner.‎ ‎“I talk to him all the time，and he responds to my voice，” says a seventyyearold lady.“When I'm watching TV，he'll stay in my arms until he wants down.He has a mind of his own.”‎ The AIBOs respond to certain orders.The researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs，especially for old people.Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it.A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns.‎ ‎“At the beginning，it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog，because it was metal and not furry.” Beck says.“But it's amazing how quickly 21‎ ‎ we have given up that belief.”‎ ‎“Hopefully，down the road，these robotic pets could become a more valuable health helper.They will record their masters' blood pressure，oxygen levels，or heart rhythms.AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older people's minds.”‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文介绍了机器狗在家庭护理中的应用。‎ ‎25．The purpose of Beck and Edwards' study is to ________.‎ A．understand humananimal relationship B．make lonely old people's life better C．find the causes of old people's loneliness D．promote the animalassisted research 解析：选B　细节理解题。本文为科技说明文，第一段第一句话即交代了研究目的。‎ ‎26．In the research，the old people are asked to ________.‎ A．note the activities of AIBOs B．keep AIBOs at home for 12 weeks C．record their feelings and activities D．analyze the collected information 解析：选C　细节理解题。由第二段第三句话“These old people will...and after AIBO.”可知答案。‎ ‎27．What is the advantage of AIBO over live dogs?‎ A．It is easier to keep at home.‎ B．It can help the disabled people.‎ C．It responds to all the human orders.‎ D．It can watch TV with its owner.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。由第四段最后一句话可推知答案。‎ ‎28．The author seems to suggest that the future robotic dogs may ________.‎ A．cure certain diseases B．keep old people active C．change people's beliefs D．look more like real dogs 解析：选B　推理判断题。A项曲解文中原意，机器狗是“health helper”但不能治病；C、D两项与文章内容无关；B项从最后一段最后一句即可推知。‎ C Could your weekend liein kill you? Since most of us change our sleep schedule 21‎ ‎ depending on whether it's a working or nonworking day，it's an interesting question.A new study looked into the issue and found links between sleeping more at weekends and an increased risk of diabetes and heart disease.‎ Changing our sleeping hours by a few hours has the effect of crossing a time zone，according to a new study of 447 people who were monitored for a week.People who changed their sleeping patterns were also more likely to gain weight.Those with an evening chronotype—meaning their biological clock is more suited to going to bed and waking late—were more at risk of these changes than earlier sleepers and risers.‎ This study shows an association between changing sleeping patterns and changes in some blood test results.It doesn't show that anyone developed heart disease or diabetes because they had lieins.It also doesn't show a relationship between amount and response.So it's unclear how much a sleep change will cause the changes seen in the blood test results.Jim Horne，professor of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University，says we should really stop worrying so much.“Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate(弥补) for not getting enough rest in the week by lying in at weekends，” he said.‎ Sleep is a way to test the state of one's health，and the most important thing that happens when you don't get enough of it is that you feel sleepy.It would be a shame to be scared of a liein.Studies show that if you have a fivehour sleep debt during the week (a typical amount)，you only need 1.5 hours of extra sleep at weekends to make up for it.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文介绍了一项新发现：与平时相比，在周末多睡几个小时会增加人们患糖尿病和心脏病的风险。但这并不意味着对周末睡懒觉的完全否定，周末适量多睡一会儿是补觉的一种方法，但不能睡得太多。‎ ‎29．What can we learn about people with an evening chronotype?‎ A．They are less likely to gain weight.‎ B．They are more likely to sleep more at weekends.‎ C．They are less likely to change their sleep schedules.‎ D．They are more likely to be harmed by weekend lieins.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Those with an evening chronotype—meaning their biological clock is more suited to going to bed and waking late—were more at risk of these changes than earlier sleepers and risers.”可知，与早睡早起的人相比，晚睡晚起的人更容易受到周末睡懒觉的危害。‎ 21‎ ‎30．Which of the following statements will Jim Horne agree with?‎ A．Further research is needed to prove the blood test results.‎ B．Weekend lieins are serious problems for the young.‎ C．We shouldn't completely deny weekend lieins.‎ D．Worry is the major reason for poor sleep.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate(弥补) for not getting enough rest in the week by lying in at weekends”可推知，他认为我们不应当完全否定周末睡懒觉这一做法，这是我们补觉的一个方法。‎ ‎31．What is the author's attitude towards weekend lieins?‎ A．Opposed. B．Negative.‎ C．Doubtful. D．Positive.‎ 解析：选D　观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“Sleep is a way...be scared of a liein.”可知，作者对周末睡懒觉持赞同的态度。‎ D The electronic cigarette (ecigarette) industry is rapidly growing in the United States and the use of ecigarettes is a public argument which continues because researchers do not yet know if ecigarette use results in more benefit than harm.Now new research quantifies the balance of harm and benefit using the most current scientific evidence.‎ ‎“Although the tobacco industry markets ecigarettes as a tool to help adult smokers quit smoking，ecigarette use actually only slightly boosts the adult smokers who are able to successfully quit，” says Samir Soneji，PhD，associate professor at The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice.“On the other hand，ecigarettes may promote cigarette smoking starting and afford much harm to adolescents and young adults once they are introduced to nicotine.”‎ Soneji's team calculated the expected years of life gained or lost from the impact of ecigarette use on smoking pause among current smokers，and transition to longterm cigarette smoking among neversmokers.“Ecigarettes could lead to more than 1.5 million years of life lost because their use could largely make more and more adolescents and young adults eventually become cigarette smokers，” says Soneji.‎ Effective national，state，and local efforts are needed to reduce ecigarette use among youth and young adults unless ecigarettes are to afford a net 21‎ ‎ populationlevel benefit in the future.“Ecigarettes will likely cause more public health harm than public health benefit unless ways can be found to largely decrease the number of adolescents and young adults who smoke and increase the number of smokers who use ecigarettes to successfully quit smoking，” says Soneji.“We also need to close the regulatory(监管的) gaps that make ecigarettes appealing to adolescents and young adults by reducing the availability of kidfriendly flavors and issuing product standards that reduce the level of some harmful and unhealthy materials in ejuice.”‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍Samir Soneji以及他的团队的一项新研究：电子烟给青少年和成年人带来了更大的危害。Samir Soneji就如何减少其危害提供了一些相关的建议。‎ ‎32．What does the underlined word “boosts” in the second paragraph mean?‎ A．Affects. B．Slows.‎ C．Increases. D．Guides.‎ 解析：选C　词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“Although the tobacco industry markets ecigarettes as a tool to help adult smokers quit smoking，ecigarette use actually only slightly”可知，尽管烟草行业推广电子烟是一种帮助成年吸烟者戒烟的工具，但是效果不是太好，只是稍微增加了能够成功戒烟的成年吸烟者的数量，故选C项。‎ ‎33．What did Soneji and his team base their research on?‎ A．The data of ecigarettes on the Internet.‎ B．The amount of nicotine in ecigarettes.‎ C．The time of smokers' using ecigarettes.‎ D．The effect of ecigarettes on smokers' life.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Soneji's team calculated the expected years of life gained or lost from the impact of ecigarette use”和“...1.5 million years of life lost...”可知，他们的研究基于电子烟对其使用者寿命的影响，故选项D符合文意。‎ ‎34．How do ecigarettes affect young adults?‎ A．By causing them to ignore the meaning of life.‎ B．By causing them to lose interest in study.‎ C．By causing them to get involved in smoking.‎ D．By causing them to live an unhealthy lifestyle.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“ecigarettes may promote cigarette smoking starting and afford much harm to adolescents and young adults once they are 21‎ ‎ introduced to nicotine”可知，电子烟可能使人开始抽烟，故选C项。‎ ‎35．What suggestion does Soneji make to reduce young smokers in the last paragraph?‎ A．Making ecigarettes less accessible.‎ B．Making ecigarettes taste worse.‎ C．Getting support from the government.‎ D．Changing the materials of making ecigarettes.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“We also need to close the regulatory (监管的) gaps that make ecigarettes appealing to adolescents and young adults by reducing the availability of kidfriendly flavors”可知，Soneji建议减少孩子喜欢的电子烟的出售，故A项“使电子烟变得更不易得到”符合语境。‎ 第二节　(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ To Use And Improve Your Abilities Each of us has unique skills and abilities
