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 (打鼾)

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 off-line 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.

【1】The Color Picker will probably be used while you're .

A. using the computer B. drawing pictures

C. collecting information  D. designing a program

【2】The underlined word "perishables" in the last paragraph refers to foods which .

A. are easy to keep B. go bad easily

22、The last time CO2 levels were as high as today, ocean waters drowned the lands where big cities like Houston, Miami, and New York City now exist.

It’s a time called the Pliocene (上新世) or mid-Pliocene, some 3 million years ago, when sea levels were around 30 feet higher (but possibly much more) and giant camels dwelled in a forested high Arctic. The Pliocene was a significantly warmer world, likely at some 5 degrees Fahrenheit (around 3 degrees Celsius) warmer than pre-Industrial temperatures of the late 1800s. Much of the Arctic, which today is largely clad in ice, had melted. Heat-trapping carbon dioxide levels, a major temperature lever, hung around 400 parts per million, or ppm. Today, these levels are similar but relentlessly rising, at some 418 ppm.

Humanity is currently on track to warm Earth to Pliocene-like temperatures by this century’s end—unless nations ambitiously slash carbon emissions in the coming decades. Sea levels, of course, won’t instantly rise by tens of feet: Miles-thick ice sheets take many centuries to thousands of years to melt. However, critically, humanity is already setting the stage for a relatively quick return to Pliocene climes, or climates at least significantly warmer than now. It’s happening fast. When CO2 naturally increases in the atmosphere, pockets of ancient air preserved in ice show this CO2 rise happens gradually, over thousands of years. But today, carbon dioxide levels are skyrocketing as humans burn long-buried fossil fuels.

“CO2 in the atmosphere has gone up 100 ppm in my lifetime,” said Kathleen Benison. a geologist at West Virginia University who researches past climates. “That’s incredibly fast geologically.”

“You don’t have to be a scientist to realize something totally unusual is going on, and that unusual thing is humans,” noted Dan Lunt, a climate scientist at the University of Bristol who has researched the Pliocene.

【1】What was the world like in the time of the Pliocene?

A．Its climate was much colder than what it is today.

B．The land where cities like Houston lie was under water.

C．Much of the Artic was covered in thick snow.

D．Heat-trapping carbon dioxide levels are lower than today.

【2】What does the underlined word in the third paragraph mean?

A．Accelerate.

B．Accumulate.

C．Allocate.

D．Reduce.

【3】How does scientist learn the CO2 change over thousands of years?

A．By measuring the CO2 in the air.

B．By researching the long-buried fossil fuels.

C．By researching the ancient air locked in ice.

D．By measuring the CO2 in the Pliocene.

【4】What might Kathleen Benison and Dan Lunt mean?

A．Measures should be taken to stop global warming.

B．The change of CO2 in the atmosphere is geological.

C．Climate changes is normal compared to past climates.

D．Humans are to blame for the unusual rise of CO2.

23、I’m sure you have noticed that I’m fat. I am the capital F-A-T kind of fat. I am the elephant in the room.

When I was six years old, my sister taught ballet to us little girls. I was about a foot taller and a foot wider than most of the group. When it came to doing our first performance, I was so excited about wearing a pretty pink tutu (短裙) and shining on stage. As the other girls slipped easily into their tutus, none was big enough to fit me. I was determined not to be excluded from the performance, so I turned to my mother and loudly said, “Mom, I don’t need a tutu. I need a fourfour.

Although I didn’t recognize it at the time, claiming space for myself in that glorious fourfour was the first step towards becoming a fat activist. I’m not saying that this has been an easy skip along a glittering path of self-acceptance since that day in class. Far from it. I soon learned that living outside what the mainstream considers normal can be a frustrating place. I’ve been openly laughed at and been told that I’m day-dreaming. I also receive smiles from strangers who recognize what it takes to walk down the street with your head held high.

Through it all, that fierce little six-year-old has stayed with me, and she has helped me stand before you today as a person that simply refuses to subscribe to the dominant concept about how I should move through the world in this body of mine.

And I’m not alone. I am part of an international community of people who choose to flourish in these bodies as they are today. We value mental health, self-worth and how we feel in our bodies as vital aspects to our overall well-being. We are the people who refuse to believe that living in these fat bodies is a barrier to anything.

【1】What can we learn about the author at the age of six?

A．She was ashamed of her body.

B．She was eager to perform.

C．She was laughed at by others.

D．She was praised by her sister.

【2】What does the underlined word “excluded” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Returned.

B．Hidden.

C．Prevented.

D．Protected.

【3】How was the author’s journey to self- acceptance?

A．Smooth.

B．Heart-breaking.

C．Lonely.

D．Bitter-sweet.

【4】What is the author’s opinion according to the passage?

A．Fat people should try to lose weight.

B．People shouldn’t care about how they look.

C．Slim people have better control of their bodies.

D．Being fat can’t stop people doing what they like.

25、   Hot weather has forced dozens of commercial flights to be canceled at airports in the Southwest this summer. This flight-disturbing _______ is a warning sign. Climate change is projected to have far-reaching _______—including sea level rise flooding cities and shifting weather patterns causing long-term declines in agricultural production. And there is evidence that it is beginning to affect the takeoff performance of commercial aircraft, with potential effects on airline _______.

National and global transportation systems and the economic activity they support have been designed for the climate in which it all developed. In the aviation (航空) industry, airports and aircraft are designed for the weather conditions experienced _______. Because the climate is changing, even fundamental elements like airports and key economic parts like air transportation may need to be_______.

As scientists focused on the impacts of climate change and extreme weather on human society and natural ecosystems around the world, our research has quantified how extreme heat associated with our warming climate may affect _______ around the world. We’ve found that major airports from New York to Dubai to Bangkok will see more frequent takeoff weight _______ in the coming decades due to increasingly common hot temperatures, which can help reduce the aircraft’s weight so as to lower its required takeoff speed.

There is obvious evidence that extreme events such as heat waves and coastal flooding are happening with greater frequency and intensity than just a few decades ago. And if we _______ to reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly in the next few decades, the frequency and intensity of these extremes is projected to increase dramatically.

The _______ on aviation may be widespread. Many airports are built near sea level, putting them at risk of more frequent ______________ as oceans rise. The frequency and intensity of violent air movement may increase in some regions due to strengthening high-altitude (高海拔的) winds. Stronger winds would force airlines and pilots to change flight lengths and routings, potentially increasing fuel ______________.

Many departments of the economy, including the aviation industry, have yet to seriously ______________the effects of climate change. The sooner, the better: Both airport construction and aircraft design take decades, and have ______________ effects. Today’s newest planes may well be flying in 40 or 50 years, and their ______________ are being designed now. The earlier climate impacts are understood and appreciated, the more effective and less costly adaptations can be. Those adaptations may even include innovative ways to dramatically reduce climate-altering emissions across the aviation industry, which would help reduce the problem while also ______________ it.
