25、 In ancient Rome, food tasters were once asked to make sure the king’s food was safe to eat. An electronic tongue (舌头) promises to do that and so much more now. Although the human tongue can taste different foods, there are limits to what we can taste. Electronic tongues are a kind of tool that can be used to study different foods or drinks in greater detail.
These “tongues” can be used to search for special chemicals (化学物) in food or drinks, and to compare the similarities and differences between different foods and drinks. Beyond this, electronic tongues can be used for other tasks like testing the water quality of rivers or even to test blood for signs of cancer.
Mainly, these tools are helpful in carefully examining things humans can’t or don’t want to taste in order to see what they are like. For example, imagine a company experimenting with how to make a cough medicine taste like bananas. It would be unsafe for the same person to test 100 different kinds of banana cough soup.
The truth is that “e-tongues” can do a lot more than any human tongue ever could. With this in mind, the food industry is using the technology in many interesting ways.
Scotch (苏格兰威士忌) is known to get better the longer it ages, as the price of a good Scotch shows. But sometimes, people try to sell 1-year-old Scotch for the price of 18-year-old Scotch. To stop this, electronic tongues are used to compare Scotch samples (样本), which ensures that the Scotch is as advertised.
Similarly, many consumers mistakenly buy unclean honey because they can’t find the difference between real and unreal honey. However, e-tongues can. They decide on a honey sample’s quality using electrical bursts.
As it stands, this technology could lead to better-tasting and safer food, among other things. Best of all, to achieve these results, humans will no longer have to put their lives or their tongues on the line.
【1】What is an electronic tongue NOT used for?
A.Studying different food or drinks.
B.Making sure the king’s food was safe.
C.Testing blood for some signs of cancer.
【2】We can learn from Paragraph 5 that ________.
A.1-year-old Scotch is the most expensive.
B.9-year-old Scotch is the most expensive.
C.18-year-old Scotch is the most expensive.
【3】Which of the following about e-tongues is NOT true?
A.E-tongues can test 100 different kinds of banana cough soup.
B.E-tongues can stop Scotch from being advertised.
C.E-tongues can find the differences between real and unreal honey.
【4】What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?
A.Humans will lose their lives or their tongues.
B.Humans will never get their lives or their tongues in danger.
C.Humans will never own their lives or use their tongues.
【5】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.What e-tongues are used for.
B.How e-tongues are made.
C.What the differences between human tongue and e-tongues are.
26、Most people around the world are right- handed. This also seem to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1500 B C to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed. So the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.
Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones?Scientists now know that a persons two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the left hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left side of the brain, is the center for thinking and doing problems.These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.
No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40%of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If receive the gene(基因), he/she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.
Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people art strange or unusual. Along long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children.
【1】What did the scientists find after studying works of art made at different times in history?
A.The art began from 1, 500 BC.
B.The works of art ended in the 1950s.
C.Most people shown in the works of art are right-handed.
D.Most people shown in the works of art are left-handed.
【2】What is the left hand for most people used to do?
A.It’s used to work with things.
B.It’s used to find or hold things.
C.It’s used to make a persons eyes work together.
D.It’s the center for thinking and doing problems.
【3】According to the passage, which of the following is Not true?
A.Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.
B.Today children are not made to use their right hands only
C.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.
D.Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.
【4】The best title for this passage is ________.
A.Scientists’ New Inventions.
B.Left-handed People.
C.How Brains Control Hands.
D.Which Hand, Right or left?
27、What has the ability to provide you a whole new world, where you can read books, send messages or talk online, play games or watch TV anytime? What can kill your time when you are free? The answer is the smartphone. It satisfies all our wants and needs. We have so close relationship with our phones.
A report says Singaporean young people spend about 3.4 hours a day on their phones. This may not seem like a big number to you, but what could you do in three hours? Cycling at the park with your family; going over your work; helping a friend with his work and so on.Time wasted is life wasted.
Our phones now play an important part in our life, but we spend too much time on them. When we try to take part in other activities, we always can’t help taking them out. Then our grades at school get worse, and our social skills become lower. Sooner or later, they will keep us out of the real world. Is it really good for us? No, phone addiction(成瘾)must come to a full stop today.
One way to stop addiction is to have apps to monitor the time you spend on your phone daily. You will find many apps that help record how long you spend on your phone.
Another way is to keep your phone off and to place it out of sight, so you can’t see it. Just as the old saying goes,“__________”. When you do not see that black screen, you will spend less time on it. Why should we shut it down? When it is turned off and kept away, you can pay more attention to your work. Please keep Mr. Smartphone out of your mind. After all, these joys are only short-term, and they will become your regret in the future.
【1】According to Paragraph 1, a __________ is powerful to help do many things.
A.TV
