17.When Jeff Sparkman draws his cartoon superheroes with colored pencils,he often has to ask other people to tell him what color his masked men turned out to be because he's color-blind.Now,a new smart phone application (app) can help him figure out what colors he's using and how the picture looks to most everyone else.
The DanKam app,available for iPhone and Android for 2.99dollars,is an application that turns the vague colors that one percent of the population with color-blindness sees into the"true"colors as everyone else sees them.In America,an estimated 32 million color-blind Americans-95% are males-can soon have their life improved.
"DanKam takes the stream of data coming in through the phone's camera and changes the colors slightly so they fall within the range that people who are color-blind see,"developer Dan Kaminsky told CNET.He came up with the idea after watching the 2009film Star Trek with a color-blind friend.
It was then that he got to know more about colorblindness like its varying types and degrees.A vast majority,for instance,have trouble seeing red or green due to a genetic defect(遺傳缺陷).Blue-yellow colorblindness,however,is rarer and develops later in life because of aging,illness or head injuries,etc.He started experimenting with one of the most common representations of points in the RGB color model.What the DanKam app attempts to do is to clean up the color space of the image or video signal so that colors can be visible to those suffering from viewing problems."You can adjust the app to fit your needs.There is a range and not everyone who is color-blind sees things the same."Says Kaminsky.
Sparkman,a copy editor at CNET,tried out the app and was pleased with the results."It would be useful for dressing for a job interview,"he said.But using it for his art is"the most practical application."It worked well on LED and other lights on electronic gadgets,which means Sparkman can now identify the power light on his computer display as green.

61.According to the first two paragraphs,we can know that DanKamA.
A.is designed to help people with colorblindness
B.can turn vague colors into real ones
C.is a phone used to help drawing pictures

62.How does DanKam's app work?D
A.It puts LED and other lights on electronic gadgets.
B.It shows common representations of points in the RGB color model
C.It checks color-blind people's types of degrees of colorblindness.
D.It changes the colors so that color-blind people can see them.
63.It can be inferred from the passage that colorblindnessB.
A.cannot be cured by any methods   
B.is not necessarily inborn disease
C.is more commonly seen in women

65.Which of the following is NOT included in the things that DanKam helps Sparkman with?B
A.Choosing clothes.
B.Playing computer games
C.Drawing his pictures.
D.Handling electronic gadgets.

分析 本文主要介紹了一種能夠幫助色盲患者識別顏色的應(yīng)用軟件以及人們對于這種應(yīng)用軟件的看法.DanKam 應(yīng)用程序給不同程度的色盲患者帶來了很大的幫助.

解答 61.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段中的"Now,a new smart phone application (app) canhelp him figure out what colors he's using and how the picture looks to mosteveryone else."(一種新的智能手機(jī)程序能夠幫助他弄清楚他正在使用的顏色以及這種顏色在多數(shù)看來是怎么樣的)和第二段中的"The DanKam app…is an application that turns the vague colors thatone percent of the population with color-blindness sees into the‘true'colors aseveryone else sees them."(DanKam是一種應(yīng)用程序,它能把人口中百分之一有色盲癥狀的人看到的模糊顏色轉(zhuǎn)變成在正常人看起來的"真正"顏色)可知,DanKam 是用來幫助有色盲癥的人們."is designed to help people with colorblindness"符合語境.故選A.
62.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段中的"DanKam takes the stream of data coming inthrough the phone's camera and changes the colors slightly so they fall withinthe range that people who are color-blind see"可知,DanKam先采集了來自手機(jī)攝像頭的顏色數(shù)據(jù),然后稍微改變了下,這樣顏色就變成了有色盲的人看到的狀態(tài)."It changes the colors so that color-blind people can see them"符合語境.故選D.
63.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第四段中的"Blue-yellow colorblindness,however,israrer and develops later in life because of aging,illness or head injuries,etc."可知,藍(lán)黃色盲癥是少見的,是在生活中后天形成的,原因有衰老、疾病或頭部受傷等."is not necessarily inborn disease"(并非一定是先天疾。┓险Z境.故選B.
64.D  詞義猜測題. visible to thosesuffering from viewing problems.句意為這個(gè)應(yīng)用軟件試圖去做的事是清理圖片或是視頻信號中的顏色以至于顏色對于那些有視力問題的人是可見的.可以推斷出該應(yīng)用軟件是為那些有視力問題的人設(shè)計(jì)的,那么它的作用就是讓他們能看見,所以該詞的意思是可見的.故選D.
65.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段中的"It would be useful for dressing for a job interview"可知,DanKam 能幫助他選衣服;根據(jù)"usingit for his art is"the most practical application"可知,DanKam能幫助他畫畫;根據(jù)"Itworked well on LED and other lights on electronic gadgets"可知,針對LED屏的顯示及電子產(chǎn)品發(fā)出其他的光,DanKam效果良好."Playing computer games"文中沒有提到,符合語境.故選B.

點(diǎn)評 本文是科教類閱讀,考查學(xué)生對細(xì)節(jié)的理解把握和推理判斷能力,做題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確選擇.在做推理判斷題時(shí)不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

8.From boy to man
Growing up on-screen for a decade as Harry Potter,22-year-old Daniel Radellif has had to deal with typecasting(角色定位) his whole career.However,in a new release called The woman in Black,the successful child actor finally escapes J.K.Rowling's hero by taking on the lead role in a classic ghost story.
The movie,which hit Chinese cinemas on Sept.20,tells the tale of a widowed lawyer named Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe) who is sent to a remote village in the north of England for a late client's affairs.There,he discovers the town's tragic past-children die after they see a mysterious woman dressed in black.To clear things up,he decides to stay alone in an old house,which is completely cut off from the mainland at high tide.
His fears grow when he sees a woman in black looking at him from the window and hears the sound of a pony and trap in difficulty,followed by the screams of a young child.Kipps decides he must find a way to break the cycle of horror after his son is threatened by the mysterious woman.
The story pulls out every old,dark house cliché(老套路) going:demonic(惡魔的) dolls,rocking chairs,and the ghostly black-cloaked woman herself.However,it has become one of this year's biggest box office winners in the UK when it was released there in February.
British movie critic Jamie Russell thinks what makes it so different,is how character-driven it is and how Radcliffe makes it count.
"The woman in Black works because of Radcliffe,not in spite of him,"he said."Radcliffe's face convinces you that Kipps knows what it is to have loved and lost forever."
There is not much conversation.Director James Watkins's gambled on Radcliffe's acting.He was not disappointed."It's an absolute joy doing the slow push in on Dan,reading his thoughts and letting the camera drift closer and closer into his eyes."He told British magazine Total Film.
For the former Potter star who has longed for a career away from Hogwarts,this ghost movie is a step in the right direction.
"It's mainly about working hard and proving to people you're serious about it,and stretching (傾注全力) yourself and learning."Radcliffe told British online newspaper The Huffington Post.
And he understands fame is fleeting."The line that has made the most lasting impression on me was by[US writer]William Goldman.He said something like,'Stars come and go,only actors last'."he told the news website.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

78.The movie The woman in Black is abouthow Arthur Kipps deals with a mysterious woman in black.
79.Why does Kipps have to find a way to break the cycle of horror?Because his son is threatened by the mysterious woman
80.How The woman in Black is successful is that it has beenone of the year's biggest box office hits.
81.What does The woman in Blackmean mean for Radclliffe,the former Harry Potter starIt's a breakthrough for him./?

5.A woman was waiting at an airport one night.She hunted for a book,bought a bag of cookies and found a place to sit.
She was absorbed in her book but happened (25)to see(see) that the man sitting beside her grabbed a cookie or two from the bag in between them.She tried to ignore it.As the greedy cookie thief kept (26)eating(eat),she munched(大聲咀嚼) some cookies and watched the clock.
She was getting angrier as time went by,thinking,"If I weren't so nice,I would blacken his eyes."With each cookie she took,he took one,too; when only one was left,she wondered what he (27)would do(do).
With a smile on his face,and a nervous laugh,he took the last cookie and broke it (28)in half.He offered her a half,and ate (29)the other.She grabbed it from him and thought,"Oooh,this guy is so rude!Why didn't he even show any gratitude?"
When her flight was called,she gathered her belongings and headed for the gate,(30)refusing(refuse) to look back at the rude thief.She boarded the plane,sank in her seat,and looked for her book.
As she reached in her baggage,she found her bag of cookies with surprise."(31)If/Since mine is here,the others were his,and he tried to share!How rude I was!It was I who (32)should have showed gratitude."

I suppose there are at least two reasons.Firstly,they think they are all native Chinese,and have been able to speak Chinese very well.They regard Chinese as only a tool for basic communication,so they don't have to make themselves an expert of the Chinese language.On the other hand,they always find even they have studied hard on Chinese for a period,they still cann't get good marks in all exams.As a result,they give up Chinese.分析原因
