COOL INVENTIONS
For light sleepers
Millions of people have trouble falling asleep each night which is why Light Sleeper was created
Developed in the United Kingdom Light Sleeper＇s makers say it can help a person fall asleep and also help a person fall back to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night
Light Sleeper works by projecting (投射) a light onto the ceiling while the person is lying down The idea is to watch the light because the light moving in a circle has a relaxing effect
One of the advantages of the product is that it won＇t disturb other people in the room The product can be easily moved and will switch itself off after 30 minutes to save power
Stop the snoring (鼾)
Here＇s a new product designed to slow down the frequency and level of your snoring The Snore Stopper has a sensitive instrument that will detect when you＇re snoring Once it does that it will send a very mild electronic signal to your wrist This consequently changes your sleeping position to stop you from snoring The Snore Stopper won＇t cause any damage to your body
Get your true colors
Photoshop features a pen that will copy the color settings of what you are monitoring onscreen to use as a color in your program Now an offline product allows you to pick a color when not using the computer software
The Color Picker is a concept pen After placing the pen against an object the user just presses the scan button Color sensors (感应器) inside the pen send information to a box which then mixes red green and blue to produce the desired ink color
Keep it fresh
More high technology products are showing up in the kitchen A new Bagel dome (圆顶形物) advertises that it will keep your baked goods fresher for longer periods of time The product which is able to remove air works for bread rolls cakes and other perishables To use it you just push a button at the top

American kids are taking more tests than ever before and they＇re stressed out Is help on the way Just the sight of a test booklet makes some kids sweat For others it is a blank answer sheet Then there are the dreaded words Take out your Number 2 pencil All these fill 10yearold Chelsea Logo with fear I start to tap my pencil on the desk says the fifth grader from Toluca Lake Elementary near Los Angeles California Then I feel the butterflies in my stomach
Chelsea is not alone In a recent survey by Kids Health£org more than 70 of kids aged 9 to 13 said they worry about tests It＇s no wonder Across the United States public schools give more than 250 million standardized tests each year
Why do kids have to take so many tests The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law requires that students in grades 3 through 8 be tested each year The law＇s goal is for all students to be at grade level by 2014 Students must pass the tests and meet other requirements or their schools may be shut down
The US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan wants to change NCLB But that doesn＇t mean he favors getting rid of tests Duncan believes tests should be used mainly to evaluate kids＇ strengths and weaknesses Tests Duncan says should not be used to punish kids or their schools for failure The goal is to focus on great teaching and learning Duncan said
Under NCLB each state sets its own standards for students to meet The result Duncan says is that states are making the tests easier To fix this problem 48 states are now working together to create common standards I want to set a high bar for kids Duncan says so they＇ll be in great shape to achieve their dreams
Like them or not tests are here to stay So how can you handle test nerves Schools are teaching students to relax through deep breathing and stretching (伸展运动) In Oakland California Principal Zarina Ahmad of Piedmont Avenue Elementary leads her students in a cheer to get them excited about learning
Kids are under high pressure says Ahmad There has to be time for kids to be kids Still we need tests to help us assess what students have yet to learn
61 The underlined part the butterflies in my stomach can be replaced by
A guilty B nervous C exciting D proud
62 According to the passage the NCLB law
A is focusing on teaching methods in schools
B is requiring schools to make the tests more difficult
C is trying to make schools be responsible for students
D aims to evaluate kids＇ strengths and weaknesses by means of tests
63 We can learn from the passage that Arne Duncan
A is strongly against tests
B suggests closing some schools
C is concerned about students＇ development
D suggests each state set its own standard
64 We can learn from the last two paragraphs that
A it＇s possible to get rid of tests
B schools have no good way to deal with students＇ stress
C tests help assess what students have to learn
D schools are aware of students＇ stress caused by tests
65 What would be the best title of the passage
A Why kids are more stressed than before
B Kids＇ tips for test success
C How to deal with test stress
D Put kids to the standardized test
C
Scientists are fond of running the evolutionary clock backward using DNA analysis and the fossil record to figure out when our ancestors stood straight and split off from the rest of the primate evolutionary tree But the clock is running forward as well So where are humans headed Here＇s a thoughtless assessment of possible paths ranging from similar humans to alienlooking hybrids bred for interstellar (
星际) travel
Different populations of a species have to be separated from each other in order for those populations to diverge into separate species Populations are increasingly in contact with each other leading to greater genemixing It＇s believable that separate species would appear Evolution is still at work and the trend may well be accelerating Cultural diversity is fading as human society becomes more interconnected globally
The radical king of evolution moves much more quickly than biological evolution Hightech improvements are ranging from Supermen to cameraequipped flying drones（遥控飞机） to pills that keep soldiers going without sleep or food for days To date genetic medicine has focused on therapies that work on only one person at a time The effects of those therapies aren＇t carried on to future generations Tinkering with the germline could conceivably produce a superhuman species in a single generationbut could also conceivably create a race of monsters
Today the rapid pace of cybernetic(计算机控制) change has led to worry that artificial intelligence may outpace human’s natural smarts In some fields artificial intelligence has already bested human We＇re already making machines that can be assimilated (化) including artificial limbs mechanical hearts and artificial retinas (视网膜)
If humans survive long enough there＇s one sure way to grow new branches on our evolutionary family tree by spreading out to other planets If humans established a permanent settlement on other planets the radically different living conditions would change the evolutionary equation (方程式) What will be inconceivable millions of years from now Two intelligent species human and machine definitely work together to spread life through the universe
66 Scientists study the evolution according to
A different populations of a species
B DNA analysis and the fossil record
C cultural diversity and greater genemixing
D hightech enhancements and biological evolution
67 Which is NOT true about human beings＇ evolution
A New species will appear
B Human＇s evolution is faster than biological evolution
C Cultures will become more colorful
D The evolution might create a race of monsters
68 What＇s the meaning of the underlined word therapies in Paragraph 3
A Treatments B Diseases C Medicines D Theories
69 What might bring threat to human beings
A Supermen B Monsters C Alien D Artificial intelligence
70 Which of the following must happen in the future
A Humans survive long enough
B Humans spread out to other planets
C Human and machine work together
D Living conditions change the evolutionary equation

For light sleepers
Millions of people have trouble falling asleep each night which is why Light Sleeper was created
Developed in the United Kingdom Light Sleeper＇s makers say it can help a person fall asleep and also help a person fall back to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night
Light Sleeper works by projecting (投射) a light onto the ceiling while the person is lying down The idea is to watch the light because the light moving in a circle has a relaxing effect
One of the advantages of the product is that it won＇t disturb other people in the room The product can be easily moved and will switch itself off after 30 minutes to save power
Stop the snoring (鼾)
Here＇s a new product designed to slow down the frequency and level of your snoring The Snore Stopper has a sensitive instrument that will detect when you＇re snoring Once it does that it will send a very mild electronic signal to your wrist This consequently changes your sleeping position to stop you from snoring The Snore Stopper won＇t cause any damage to your body
Get your true colors
Photoshop features a pen that will copy the color settings of what you are monitoring onscreen to use as a color in your program Now an offline product allows you to pick a color when not using the computer software
The Color Picker is a concept pen After placing the pen against an object the user just presses the scan button Color sensors (感应器) inside the pen send information to a box which then mixes red green and blue to produce the desired ink color
Keep it fresh

American kids are taking more tests than ever before and they＇re stressed out Is help on the way Just the sight of a test booklet makes some kids sweat For others it is a blank answer sheet Then there are the dreaded words Take out your Number 2 pencil All these fill 10yearold Chelsea Logo with fear I start to tap my pencil on the desk says the fifth grader from Toluca Lake Elementary near Los Angeles California Then I feel the butterflies in my stomach
Chelsea is not alone In a recent survey by Kids Health£org more than 70 of kids aged 9 to 13 said they worry about tests It＇s no wonder Across the United States public schools give more than 250 million standardized tests each year
Why do kids have to take so many tests The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law requires that students in grades 3 through 8 be tested each year The law＇s goal is for all students to be at grade level by 2014 Students must pass the tests and meet other requirements or their schools may be shut down
The US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan wants to change NCLB But that doesn＇t mean he favors getting rid of tests Duncan believes tests should be used mainly to evaluate kids＇ strengths and weaknesses Tests Duncan says should not be used to punish kids or their schools for failure The goal is to focus on great teaching and learning Duncan said
Under NCLB each state sets its own standards for students to meet The result Duncan says is that states are making the tests easier To fix this problem 48 states are now working together to create common standards I want to set a high bar for kids Duncan says so they＇ll be in great shape to achieve their dreams
Like them or not tests are here to stay So how can you handle test nerves Schools are teaching students to relax through deep breathing and stretching (伸展运动) In Oakland California Principal Zarina Ahmad of Piedmont Avenue Elementary leads her students in a cheer to get them excited about learning
Kids are under high pressure says Ahmad There has to be time for kids to be kids Still we need tests to help us assess what students have yet to learn
61 The underlined part the butterflies in my stomach can be replaced by
A guilty B nervous C exciting D proud
62 According to the passage the NCLB law
A is focusing on teaching methods in schools
B is requiring schools to make the tests more difficult
C is trying to make schools be responsible for students
D aims to evaluate kids＇ strengths and weaknesses by means of tests
63 We can learn from the passage that Arne Duncan
A is strongly against tests
B suggests closing some schools
C is concerned about students＇ development
D suggests each state set its own standard
64 We can learn from the last two paragraphs that
A it＇s possible to get rid of tests
B schools have no good way to deal with students＇ stress
C tests help assess what students have to learn
D schools are aware of students＇ stress caused by tests
65 What would be the best title of the passage
A Why kids are more stressed than before
B Kids＇ tips for test success
C How to deal with test stress
D Put kids to the standardized test
C
Scientists are fond of running the evolutionary clock backward using DNA analysis and the fossil record to figure out when our ancestors stood straight and split off from the rest of the primate evolutionary tree But the clock is running forward as well So where are humans headed Here＇s a thoughtless assessment of possible paths ranging from similar humans to alienlooking hybrids bred for interstellar (
星际) travel
Different populations of a species have to be separated from each other in order for those populations to diverge into separate species Populations are increasingly in contact with each other leading to greater genemixing It＇s believable that separate species would appear Evolution is still at work and the trend may well be accelerating Cultural diversity is fading as human society becomes more interconnected globally
The radical king of evolution moves much more quickly than biological evolution Hightech improvements are ranging from Supermen to cameraequipped flying drones（遥控飞机） to pills that keep soldiers going without sleep or food for days To date genetic medicine has focused on therapies that work on only one person at a time The effects of those therapies aren＇t carried on to future generations Tinkering with the germline could conceivably produce a superhuman species in a single generationbut could also conceivably create a race of monsters
Today the rapid pace of cybernetic(计算机控制) change has led to worry that artificial intelligence may outpace human’s natural smarts In some fields artificial intelligence has already bested human We＇re already making machines that can be assimilated (化) including artificial limbs mechanical hearts and artificial retinas (视网膜)
If humans survive long enough there＇s one sure way to grow new branches on our evolutionary family tree by spreading out to other planets If humans established a permanent settlement on other planets the radically different living conditions would change the evolutionary equation (方程式) What will be inconceivable millions of years from now Two intelligent species human and machine definitely work together to spread life through the universe
66 Scientists study the evolution according to
A different populations of a species
B DNA analysis and the fossil record
C cultural diversity and greater genemixing
D hightech enhancements and biological evolution
67 Which is NOT true about human beings＇ evolution
A New species will appear
B Human＇s evolution is faster than biological evolution
C Cultures will become more colorful
D The evolution might create a race of monsters
68 What＇s the meaning of the underlined word therapies in Paragraph 3
A Treatments B Diseases C Medicines D Theories
69 What might bring threat to human beings
A Supermen B Monsters C Alien D Artificial intelligence
70 Which of the following must happen in the future
A Humans survive long enough
B Humans spread out to other planets
C Human and machine work together
D Living conditions change the evolutionary equation
