5.A"talking kitchen"teaches students how to cook French food and speak French at the same time.Researchers at New Castle University in the United Kingdom have developed the French Digital Kitchen.Professor Paul Seed House and Patrick Olivier led the project.Professor House tells us that it works like a satellite navigation(導(dǎo)航) system in a car,which direct us how to get to your destination.
The kitchen equipment and tools use motion sensor(動作傳感器) technology.The sensors help a computer guide the students through instructions in French.
This is how the system works.The system can tell whether you've done what you were asked to do or not.For example,the system tells you to take some butter and cut it with a knife.There's a sensor on the package containing the butter so it can tell where the butter's being moved.The sensor in the knife not only knows that the knife is moving,but it also knows what motion the knife is making.So it can know whether the knife is cutting or not.And it doesn't go on to the next step of the program unless you've done what it sense you've done.
Students can ask the computer to repeat the instructions or translate them into English.There are vocabulary lessons before and after the cooking.
Professor House says the French Digital Kitchen turns the process of learning language into a real-life experience."Here you're taking itout of the classroom and you're actually using the language to produce something that you can eat at the end of it.It's very enjoyable."
The system could be available for sale by the end of 2013.Adding the technology to a new kitchen could add about ten to twenty percent to the building costs.The researchers have also been given money to develop programs in six other languages,including English,Italian and Spanish.

A.helping students who love French food
B.helping house owners prepare their meals
C.helping learners who study French as a foreign language
D.helping housewives who want to learn cooking French food.

16.No one knows why we sleep,but it's certain that we need to.People who are prevented from sleeping begin to suffer obvious effects after a few days-they think less clearly,and they fall asleep during the working hours; some may have hallucinations(幻覺).
There are no rules about sleep.Generally speaking,grown-ups sleep about 7and a half hours each night and probably more than 60per cent get between seven and eight hours.But perhaps eight per cent are quite happy with 5hours or less,and four per cent or so find that they want ten hours or more.If you feel all right,you're probably getting enough sleep.The important thing is not to worry how much other people get-their needs may be different.Exercise doesn't seem to increase the need for sleep-office workers,for example,sleep for about as long as people doing physically active work.
Children sleep more than grown-ups-perhaps 14to 18hours soon after birth,going down to grown-up levels by early teenage.Sleep patterns also tend(傾向) to be different in the elderly,who may sleep less at night than they did when younger,find sleep getting more broken,and often make it a rule to sleep during the daytime.

67.According to the passage,some people are unable to think clearly becauseC.
A.they have hallucinations
B.they feel sleepy during the working hours
C.they don't have enough sleep
D.they are certain to be kept from going to bed
68.Which of the following is TRUE?B
A.All grown-ups must have at least eight-hour sleep.
B.Most of grown-ups sleep for seven or eight hours.
C.Quite a few people need only 5hours or less for them to sleep.
D.No grown-ups sleep more than ten hours.
69.Whether you have got enough sleep is judged byD.
A.how many hours you have slept
B.how many hours you need to sleep
C.whether you do exercise and physical work
D.whether you feel fresh and energetic
70.According to the passage,a boy of 14years old sleepsA.
A.a(chǎn)s long hours as a grown-up

13.If your child has mobile internet access,it will be more difficult to monitor(監(jiān)督) and control his or her internet use.Kids are turning to the internet for everything from hanging out with friends to shopping,which makes it harder for parents to keep track of their online activities.Fortunately,there are many choices for controlling what your kids see on their computers,laptops,and mobile devices.
Content blockers and filters are great tools to use for younger kids.They allow you more control over where they go and what they do online.A content blocker can block some unhealthy websites or limit a child's search to the kind of sites.A content filter can scan sites and pictures and block those sites that contain certain words,key phrases,or content.
Consider tracking software for older teenagers.This software enables you to see which sites your children have visited,tracking their path online.This tool gives young people more freedom to explore the Internet,but it also allows you to check that they are using the internet responsibly.Let your teenagers know that you trust them,but that you will be regularly checking that they are visiting appropriate sites online.
Even if you use content blockers,filters,and trackers,you know that a lot of kids figure out ways to get around these,so it's important to remain alert(警惕的).Remember that not all adult sites can be identified by blocker,filter,or tracker software.That's why it's important to talk to your kids about what to do when something inappropriate or scary comes up.Nothing can replace involvement and supervision(監(jiān)督) by adults.Keep monitoring how your kids use the internet on a regular basis without getting into the role of internet traffic police.

20.New research suggests that speaking more than one language may delay different kinds of dementia(癡呆),that is the loss of mental ability.In fact,researchers say,speaking two languages appears to be more important than the level of education in defending against dementias.
A study in India examined the effect of knowing more than one language in delaying the first signs of several dementias.Researchers studied nearly 650people whose average age was 66.240of those studied suffered from Alzheimer's,the most common form of mental decline(下降).391of the subjects spoke two or more languages.Researchers found the dementias began about four-and-a-half years later in those who spoke two languages compared to those who spoke only one language.The level of education had no effect on the age at the first sign of dementia.
Thomas Bak,from the Center of Cognitive Aging at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland,who helped to organize the study,suggests that individuals who speak more than one language train their brains by moving back and forth between different words and expressions.He also believes this effort improves what scientists called executive(執(zhí)行的) functioning,which often weakens in people with dementias.He states that researchers found there was no extra gain in speaking more than two languages.
Mr Bak says it does not appear important whether you learn another language at a young age or later in life.It's not something that"you missed the boat when you do not do it as a baby."It is something that is still quite useful and powerful when you do it as an adult.

59.The finding of the study is thatB.
A.learning more than one language can cure dementias
B.speaking two languages may delay kinds of dementias
C.the level of education matters in defending against dementias
D.people who suffer from dementias will lose mental ability
60.The underlined word"subjects"refers toA.
A.people who were studied in the study
B.notices that were put on about the study
C.questions that were asked in the study
D.methods that were used in the study
61.According to Mr Bak,C.
A.the more languages one speaks,the less chance of getting dementias
B.people's executive functioning often strengthens with age
C.when you learn one more language makes no difference
D.it is much easier to learn one more language at a young age
62.This passage may probably be seen inB.
A.a(chǎn) research plan    B.a(chǎn) health magazine
C.a(chǎn) book review      D.a(chǎn) business magazine.

10.First lady Michelle Obama has some advice for some Tennessee High School graduates:Strike your own path in college and life and work to overcome inevitable difficulties with determination and courage.
The first lady told the 170 graduates that she spent too much of her own time in college focusing on academic achievements.While her success in college and law school led to a high-profile(備受矚目) job,she said,she ended up leaving to focus on public service.
"My message to all of you today is this:Do not waste a minute living someone else's dream,"she said."It takes a lot of real work to discover what brings you joy…and you won't find what you love simply by checking boxes or padding your GPA(成績)."
She said the school reminded her of her own high school experience in Chicago."My No.1 goal was to go to a high school that would push me and challenge me,"she said."I wanted to go somewhere that would celebrate achievement.A place where academic success wouldn't make me a target of teasing or bullying,but instead would be a badge of honour."But Mrs.Obama said pitifully that not all students have the same opportunities."Unfortunately,schools like this don't exist for every kid,"she said."You are lucky."
The first lady told graduates that failure may be a part of their college lives and careers,and that how they respond to any difficulties will define them."That's when you find out what you're really made of in those hard times,"she said."But you only do that if you're willing to put yourself a position where you might fall."
Overcoming difficulties has been the hallmark(特征) of many great people,she said."There's this guy Barack Obama…h(huán)e lost his first race for Congress,and now he gets to call himself my husband."The first lady joked:"I could take up a whole afternoon talking about his failures."
66.Michelle went to Tennessee High School toD.
A.visit her old school                       B.help the votes for Obama
C.welcome new students                   D.give some advice for the graduates
67.By talking about her academic achievements,Michelle wanted toC.
A.show off her great success in college     
B.be the example for the students
C.warn that it's not enough to study well      
D.encourage the students to focus on study
68.According to Michelle's description,Tennessee High School is likely toD.
A.tease or bully students                   
B.receive black children only
C.promise students with GPA             
D.honour students with academic success
69.How could you find out what you really love according to Michelle?A
A.Put yourself in a difficult position and meet the challenge.
B.Try your best to be successful in academic performances.
C.Try everything you are interested in and make comparison.
D.Choose a target and insist on it regardless of failures.
70.Michelle mentioned Obama as an example ofB.
A.winning the vote                      
B.overcoming difficulties
C.being a top students

15.As computers become all the more popular in China,Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters.But if they use the computer too much,they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(筆畫)of each Chinese character when writing on paper.Experts suggest people,especially students,write by hand more.
Do you write by hand more or type more?In Beijing,students start using a computer as early as primary school.And computer dependence is more wide-spread among university students.Almost all their homework and essays are typed on a computer.
All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.
It's faster and easier to correct if using a computer.And that's why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education.But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly,problems appear.
"When I'm writing with a pen,I find I often can't remember how to write a character,though I feel I'm familiar with it."
"I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper."
Many students don't feel this is something to worry about.Now that it's more convenient and quick to write on a computer,why bother to handwrite?
Many educators think differently.Shi Liwei,the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said"Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(審美的) value.But those characters typed with computer keyboards only have their practical value.All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost.And handwriting contains the writer's emotion(情緒).Through one's handwriting,people can get to know one's thinking and personality.Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them."
To encourage students to handwrite more,many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的)and in universities,some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.
55.The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly becauseA.
A.they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently
B.they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essays
C.they find it not easy to remember how to write a character
D.computers have become popular in China
56.Which of the following statements of the advantages of handwriting is NOT TRUE?B
A.Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.
B.Handwriting can impress people well and build up one's self-confidence.
C.Handwriting contains the writer's emotion.
D.The writer's thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.
57.The underlined expression"taking stock in"(Paragraph 4)probably meansD.
A.getting bored with         
B.getting curious about
C.becoming crazy about      
D.getting dependent on
58.We can infer from the passage thatC.
A.writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one day
B.more and more students will give up writing on a computer
C.more and more students will pay attention to handwriting
D.the typed article better expresses one's emotion and quality.
