24、During work hours in Becker’s bread shop, the kitchen is especially quiet except the sound of the machine. The quiet environment is not the result of the strict rules, but because all the workers are deaf. They use sign language to communicate with each other from time to time.
Becker’s shop is in Changsha City, Hunan Province. It sells many kinds of German bread, cakes and coffee. It’s very popular for the story of Becker—the owner of the shop.
Over twenty years ago, Becker and his wife heard about a Chinese public project. It provided language training for the disabled children, but it was short of(缺少)trainers in Changsha. So they came in 2002 with a common wish.
In Changsha, they helped children improve their hearing and language pronunciation. Every little progress each child experienced was a great encouragement to them, and they achieved their goal in life.
After ten years of working for this project, they found that the disabled adults couldn’t be independent because they had no skills. Then Becker and his wife set up a bread shop to teach these people how to make bread. With the couple’s help, all of them were able to live on their own.
Luckily, Becker and his wife have also got the support from the local government. More people join them and understand disabled people can work as well as others when they have the same chances.
【1】What makes Becker’s bread shop popular?
A.Its owner’s story.
B.Its strict rules.

25、Have you ever had an experience where you meet someone new, learn his name and think to yourself, “Wow, they really look just like their names!” What does this mean, exactly? Scientists are suggesting that humans manage to contact people’s names with their appearance, and can even guess someone’s name based on how they look.
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They labeled(贴标签)each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct.
The volunteers guessed nearly four names correctly out of ten. It seems that humans are able to recognize(认 出)certain characteristics of faces that can give them clues about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported.
However, this only works when we’re looking at names within our own culture. In addition, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who use nicknames(昵称)more often than their real names. This shows that a person’s appearance is influenced by his name only if they use it often.
This kind of face-name matching happens “because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy(自我实现预言), as we become what other people expect us to become”, Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website Eurek Alert.
Earlier studies have shown that gender(性别)and race(种族)stereotypes(刻板印象)can influence a person’s appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people manage to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be delicate and feminine, just like the flower they are named for.
【1】What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.People can guess others’ names based on their appearance.
B.There are several ways to guess a stranger’s name.
C.A person’s appearance can be influenced by three factors.
D.It’s not polite to ask strangers about their names.
【2】Dr Ruth Mayo thinks some people look like their names because of ________.
A.their different cultures
B.a self-fulfilling prophecy
C.racial stereotypes
D.their living environment
【3】According to the passage, men named Bob are expected to ________.
A.wear glasses
B.have big eyes
C.look beautiful
D.have round faces
【4】What do we know from this research?
A.Nicknames have a bigger influence on people’s appearance.
B.Gender and race have no influence on a person’s appearance,
C.The volunteers were able to guess the right name 40% of the time.
D.People are good nt recognizing the different characteristics of faces.

What is a hurricane?
You may already know that hurricanes are storms that can cause devastating(毁灭性的)waves,wind,and rain.They happen during“Hurricane Season,”which is from June 1st until November 30th in the Atlantic Ocean and from May 15th until November 30th in the Pacific Ocean.
Categories(类别)of Hurricanes
There are five categories of hurrlcanes, which are based on wind speeds. The categories help people know how much damage(危害)a hurricane may cause because the greater the wind speed,the more dangerous the storm.For example,a Category 5 hurricane has winds over 155 miles per hour,which are strong enough to destroy the buildings along the shorelines completely.
Hurricane Dangers
When a hurricane happens together with heavy rainfall,there can be a devastating flood.The centre of a hurricane is called the eye.While most of a hurricane has dangerously strong winds,the eye is actually(事实上)a calm area in the storm.When the eye of a hurricane passes over land,people might think that it’s over,but before long the wind and rain increase again as the second part of the hurricane moves through.
Hurricane Safety Tips
There is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change direction,so if you ever find yourself in the path of a hurricane,be sure to remember the following safety tips.
·Be sure you have a radio,batteries,fresh drinking water,and enough food.
·Tell neighbours,friends,and family members your emergency plans.Tell them where you’ll go if you need to leave your home.
·If you live near the ocean,leave your home and travel to a safe place.You could stay with a friend or a family member,in a hotel/motel,or in an emergency shelter area.
·Stay inside during the storm.You could be seriously injured(受伤)if you go outside.

27、
A group of Chinese scientists have recently created a new kind of self-powered, flexible (柔韧的), and transparent (透明的) electronic skin (电子皮肤) to monitor some human actions. The electronic skin is a very important part in the future of wearable technology. Because it’s soft, the special e-skin can stick right onto different parts of our body.
Our skin, which is the biggest part of our body, is responsible for many important things like protecting us, helping us sweat, controlling our temperature, and letting us feel things around us. It is the basis of people’s physical interactions with the outside world.
The perfect e-skin should feel a lot, power itself, and work well on human skin. “We got ideas from how real skin works and made this new e-skin both flexible and transparent to serve many functions (功能). After charging (充电), it can watch and understand very small signals and many activities in real time. It can feel a person’s heartbeat, tell when a person is eating, and inspect other body movements.” said Lan Wei, a professor at the School of Physical Science and Technology of Lanzhou University and the leader of the research team.
E-skin will be the main part of wearable electronic devices in the following years. The new invention can be used in smart health care, human-machine interaction, virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI). For example, it can help doctors control the robots better, let people “touch” things far away, and create more immersive (沉浸式的) gaming experiences.
From now on, the scientists will work on making the e-skin feel things better and have more power, so it becomes even more like human skin, which will in turn make it more suitable for future.
【1】What is the purpose of the new wearable e-skin?
A.To control body temperature.
B.To monitor human activities.
C.To slow down the aging of human skin.
D.To improve the flexibility of human skin.
【2】What is special about the new e-skin according to Lan Wei?
A.It provides more electricity for people.
B.It is soft and has different kinds of uses.
C.It can be put inside the human skin directly.
D.It can feel a person’s heartbeat two minutes later.
【3】The word “inspect” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A.predict
B.guess
C.check
D.replace
【4】What do the last two paragraphs mainly tell us about the new e-skin?
A.Its gaming users.
B.Its medical value.
C.Its working idea.
D.Its bright future.
