16、、阅读理解：共 20 题 每题 2 分 共 40 分AMy mother is the only living person who has never communicated via email or text. She has never turned on a computer, registered an email account, used data storage media or searched the Internet. Since 1955, she has settled in Silicon Valley, married to an extremely techn
17、ical specialist in applied physics and engineering, designing photometric systems for NASA . Only when Dad suffered from cancer could we convince her she needed a cell phone. Moms being separated from the information age is voluntary and deliberate.Mom is still that farm girl, and she takes the most
18、 pride in it. She sees her neighbor and her community “real”. She shows no interest in the digital and virtual life. My mother saw Depression, World War II and the beginning of the Cold War before reaching voting age. She enjoyed country music on “The Sons of the Pioneers”, a Canadian broadcast. The
19、 battery was so precious a resource that radio was limited to the barn because Grandma thought it helped cows produce milk. In the age when Churchill moved millions for the first time with radio broadcasts, she only experienced live media monthly, if at all.In her early twenties, Mom completed nurse
20、s training and worked in that field before marriage, family and church became her lifes concerns. She never really warmed up to television, though I think she appreciated a few of the series we watched, comedies like all in the Family. Computers, the Internet and mobile apps are simply not part of h
21、er experience.Mom disagrees with the opinion that technology simplifies life. In her life, she sees online records, email and paperless systems as mysteries in which no written reference can assist her.However, I can partly understand: I like such kind of experience and relationship one has with phy
22、sical books. I am a child of television who only recently switched to online viewing. Ive written down my awkward, love-hate relationship with my devices. Moms technophobia surely played a role here, but it works for her. Shes happiest as she is.36The authors mother began to use mobile phone when_.A
23、.she found it hard to contact with her husband B.she settled in Silicon Valley for fifty years C.she got married to a technical specialist D.her husband suffered from cancer37What is the authors mother most proud of according to the passage?A.Having so many close neighbors. B.Experiencing too much a
24、ll her life. C.Living simply and in her own style. D.Being involved in modern technology.38What is the authors attitude towards his mothers such kind of experience?A.Critical. B.Positive. C.Neutral. D.Negative.39It is implied in the underlined sentence that_.A.the author should make efforts to learn
25、 from his mother B.the author prefers watching movies online to watching TV C.Moms attitude towards technology has an effect on the author D.Mom should also set down the relationship with physical booksBIf it really is whats on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.So
26、me doctors now think that the internal(内部的) fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.“Being thin doesnt surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have
27、scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits(储蓄, 沉淀物)of internal fat, even if they are slim.Even people with normal Body Mass I
28、ndex scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually
29、 on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but
30、some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes(糖尿病). They want to prove that internal fat damages the bodys communication systems.The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no sh
31、ortcut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle.” Bell said.41What is the passage mainly about?A.Internal fat leads to many diseases. B.Internal fat is of no importance.C.Thin people may be fat inside. D.Thin people dont have diabetes.42According to the passage, which of the following
32、 is WRONG?A.Exercise can help to reduce the internal fat.B.People with heart disease all have internal fat.C.Men are more likely to have too much internal fat.D.People can get rid of internal fat by improving diet.43From the last paragraph, we can find that _.A.internal fat leading to disease has be
33、en provedB.it is easier to burn off internal fat than external fatC.thin people usually have internal fat even if they are slimD.exercise plays an important role in peoples life for keeping healthy44The underlined part in the last paragraph means _.A.long road B.clear difference C.short distance D.e
34、asy wayCResearchers are placing robotic dogs(机器狗)in the homes of lonely old people to determine whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study concerning the
35、influence of robotic dogs on old peoples depression, physical activity, and life satisfaction. “No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active, challenged, or stimulated(刺激),”Edwards points out. “The problem is how we promote(使成为现实)that, especially for those without friends o
36、r help. A robotic dog could be a solution.”In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings a
37、nd activity before and after AIBO. Then, the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner.“I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice,” says a seventy-year-old lady, “When Im watching TV, hell stay in my arms until he wants down.
38、He has a mind of his own.”The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns.“
39、At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog, because it was metal and not furry(毛皮的).” Beck says. “But its amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.”“Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more-valuable health helper. They will record th
40、eir masters blood pressure, oxygen levels, or heart rhythms. AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older peoples minds.”44The purpose of Beck and Edwards study is to_.A.understand human-animal relationship B.make lonely old peoples life better C.find the causes of old peoples lon
41、eliness D.promote the animal-assisted research45In the research, the old people are asked to_.A.note the activities of AIBOs B.keep AIBOs at home for 12 weeks C.record their feelings and activity D.analyze the collected information46What is the advantage of AIBO over live dogs?A.It is easier to keep
42、 at home. B.It can help the disabled people. C.It responds to all the human orders. D.It can watch TV with its owner.47The author seems to suggest that the future robotic dogs may_.A.cure certain diseases B.keep old people active C.change peoples beliefs D.look more like real dogsDCarrot juice, beca
43、use of its many healthy benefits, is commonly called the “magic juice“. It has been found that adding carrot juice to peoples diets greatly improves their health. And its delicious taste makes it popular with all members of the family as a beverage.Carrot juice is one of the richest sources of vitam
44、in A that can be used in the daily diet. Lack of vitamin A can cause dryness and damage to the skin, nails and hair. Drinking carrot juice to increase the vitamin A in the diet is said to be good for many parts of the body, including the bones and teeth.Drinking carrot juice is thought to be extreme
45、ly helpful to the liver (肝脏), because vitamin A helps to clean the liver and reduce fat in it. And it is suggested that drinking carrot juice should be done regularly, rather than just from time to time.Drinking carrot juice is also thought to improve the eyesight because of the vitamin A in the jui
46、ce. Lack of vitamin A can lead to night blindness, which can be very dangerous, especially when the person is driving a car. An easy way to find out if you are lacking in vitamin A is to walk from a bright room into a dark room. Your eyes may have some trouble in getting used to the change of light
47、if you are lacking in vitamin A.How can you make carrot juice? Wash some carrots well in cold water. Scrape (刮) them lightly, but do not peel them, as this will take away valuable vitamins and minerals that lie close to the skin.48Lack of vitamin A can lead to _.A.broken bones B.complete blindness C
48、.skin dryness D.liver cancer49.According to the passage, carrot juice _.A.does a lot of good to the teeth and other parts of the body B.is popular because it is a magic cure for many diseases C.can wash away the waste from the body D.may be harmful to the body if its drunk too much50We can learn from the fourth paragraph that _.A.you will find it easy to get used to the change of light if you lack vitamin A B.driving cars at night may lead to night blindness C.walking from a bright room into a dark room may le
