26、Electrical devices(仪器)could soon use power made by human energy. Scientists say they have developed an experimental device that produces electricity from the physical movement of a person walking , British scientist Max Donelan and other scientists in Canada and the United States developed the device.
The device connects to a person’s knee. As the person walks ,the device captures energy each time the person slows down. To do this ,the device helps with the slowing sown movement of the leg, the movements of the walking person push parts of a small machine that produces electricity. Using the device, an adult walking quickly could produce thirteen watts of electricity in just a minute. Donelan says walking at that speed could produce enough power to operate a laptop computer for six minutes.
There are several possible uses for the device. Developers say it could help people who work in areas without electricity to operate small computers. The device could also he used in hospitals to operate heart pacemakers(起博器), it could even be used to assist in the movement of robotic arms and legs.
The experimental version of the device weighs about one and a half kilograms, but it is too costly for most people to buy, but the researchers hope to make a lighter, less costly version, An improved version should be ready in one year.
The developers hope the device will one day help developing countries; nearly twenty five percent of people around the world live without electric power.
A similar product was invented in 2005 by Larry Rome of the University of Pennsylvania, He created a bag carried on a person’s back that also produces power from walking. The knee device does not produce as much electricity as the bag, but the bag requires the walker to carry a load of twenty to thirty kilograms.
【1】The second paragraph mainly talks about
A.who developed the device
B.how the device works
C.several possible uses for the devices
D.how much electricity the device can produce
【2】What is the disadvantage of the experimental version of the device?
A.It is too heavy for the walker to bear
B.It is too complex for people to use
C.It is too expensive for most people to afford
D.It will slow down one’s walking speed
【3】Compared with the device designed by Larry Rome, this new device
A.produces power without adding more loads to the walker
B.can produce more power in a much shorter time
C.needs to be equipped with a battery
D.can help the walker walk faster
【4】From the passage, we can learn that the electrical device can
A.help housewives operate the washing machine
B.make it much easier for us to go online
C.produce more electricity than that invented by Larry Rome
D.be applied in medical fields to operate heart pacemakers
【5】What would be the best title for the passage

27、In 1990, during a performance of my stage play, I became preoccupied with one particular member of the audience. While everybody else laughed, there she sat, staring at the floor, with her fingers in her ears. I’ll never forget her look of complete discomfort.
That woman was my mother. Despite the fact I’d established myself as a humorist, my mother never found me or my work particularly funny. She was my hardest critic. “Is Drew really that funny?” she’d ask family members.
To make matters worse, the feeling was mutual (相互的): though our social circle swore that she was humorous, I never saw it. My mother was supposedly very funny in her first language, Anishinaabemowin—an Indigenous (原住民的) language, but alas, I didn’t speak it. At family gatherings, when somebody would say something “funny” in Anishinaabemowin, she’d explain it to me. Sometimes the humour translated. Sometimes it didn’t.
For a while I was convinced I would never make her laugh. Then, in 2005, I succeeded. I had published a book called Me Funny. In it were dozens of essays deconstructing Indigenous humour, along with 50 so-called “Indian jokes” to break up the various chapters. (For instance, “Why do Native people hate snow? Because it’s white and all over our land.”) She laughed hard and declared, “Wow, that was funny!”
In 2009, my mother passed away at the age of 77. During the funeral, in the tears, family member after family member got up and recounted things she had done and said over the years. To my surprise, I found myself laughing. Suddenly I remembered a moment from the early ‘90s, when my mother asked me, completely serious, what “owie” meant in French. I struggled to come up with an answer until I spelled it out in my mind: oui (“yes” in English).
More and more stories about her surfaced. We laughed as we remembered her. I couldn’t see my mother’s forest for my own trees. I wish I could have shared those laughs with her while she was alive, but I’m glad I finally made the connection.
【1】What prevented the author and his mother from understanding each other’s humour?
A.Language barriers.
B.The author’s unique job.
C.Mom’s critical personality.
D.Views of Indigenous people.
【2】Why did the author laugh at mother’s funeral?
A.He tried to fit in his Indigenous family.
B.He recalled amusing moments about mom.
C.He wanted to hide his sadness over mother’s death.
D.He intended his laugh to make mother rest in peace.
【3】What does the underlined sentence mean?
A.The author learned from mother a very important life lesson.
B.The author failed to relate to his mother from her perspective.
C.The author finally understood mother’s sense of humour better.
D.The author didn’t write enough humorous books to make mother laugh.
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.Am I funny?
B.Why isn’t Mom laughing?
C.What’s so funny?
D.Does laughter have an accent?
28、 Look out of the window of your workplace. Is the view pleasing? Can you see trees and grassy areas, or rubbish bins? Do you enjoy leaving the building at lunchtime or would you rather stay in your office?
Indoor work environments (in particular factors like light, noise and temperature) have an effect on working quality. Attractive offices, with common areas and relaxing activities, will appeal to businesses and workers. If a positive office indoor environment helps, it makes sense that a nice outdoor one should do the job, too.
Those who work in a big city are complaining about crowded conditions, surrounded by busy roads. But there are exceptions. Chiswick Park in west London is the kind of area that local people like to frequent on their days off. It has its own waterfall and lake, where ducks have settled, and there are tree-shaded lawns where one can picnic on sunny summer days. The actively minded can head for a special area to play basketball or football. The autumn brings firework shows and when the weather is good, the site holds food fairs, concerts or other events.
During the week, however, 9,000 people flood into the park’s 12 office buildings. They are home to 73 businesses, including big companies like Paramount and Sony.
Anyone who has visited the main office of a tech company will be surprised to find comfortable chairs, pool tables and even guitars or bikes for hire, like those in a big hotel. The worry about such services is that they aim to keep employees in the office for as long as possible. If you can eat, go to the gym and even get your dry cleaning done at work, why go home?
The danger, as with many aspects of the future economy, is of another class divide. In addition to fat pay checks, well-decorated offices with top-class services located in attractive parks for the fortunate few who program for big tech groups or run large companies; dissatisfying jobs in “satisfying centers” and busy roads outside for the rest. On the bright side, office workers in the latter will at least still have a reason to head home.
【1】Why does the writer raise those questions in paragraph 1?
A.To encourage readers to find answers all by themselves.
B.To point out the trouble in improving working conditions.
C.To attract readers’ attention to the topic of the article.
D.To remind readers to share their comfortable offices.
【2】What is special about Chriswick Park?
A.It is regarded as local people’s favorite park.
B.Indoor events and ball games can be held here.
C.Its unique natural beauty is beyond compare.
D.Employees enjoy a pleasing environment here.
【3】What is the problem with the satisfying offices?
A.Employees are eager to give up family life for work.
B.Employees feel superior to those in regular offices.
C.Employees get cheated into working with less salary.
D.Employees experience differences in social positions.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.An office with a view B.An unusual business park
C.A call for office services D.A new style in decoration
