【题目】You can tell a lot about people by looking at their hair — not just whether they brush, spray or blow-dry. Scientists have found a way to use hair to figure out where a person is from and where that person has been. The finding could help solve crimes, among other useful applications.

Water is central to the new technique. The liquid makes up more than half an adult human’s body weight. Our bodies break water down into hydrogen(氢) and oxygen. Atoms of these two elements end up in our tissues, fingernails, and hair.

But not all water is the same. Hydrogen and oxygen atoms can vary in how much they weigh. In the case of hydrogen, for example, there are three types according to their weights. Each type is called a hydrogen isotope(同位素). And depending on where you live, tap water contains different isotopes.

Can hair record this information? That’s what James R. Ehleringer, an environmental chemist at the University of Utah, wondered. To find it out, he and his colleagues collected hair from hair stylists in 65 cities across the United States. Even though people drink a lot of bottled water these days, the researchers have found that people’s hair has the same isotopes as found in local tap water. That’s probably because people usually cook their food with the local water.

Authorities can now use the information to analyze hair samples from criminals or crime victims and narrow their search for clues. For example, one hair sample used in Ehleringer’s study came from a man who had moved from San Francisco to Salt Lake City. As his hair grew, it reflected his change in location.

【1】What do we know about the hydrogen isotopes according to Paragraph 3?

A. They are classified by size.

B. Each type of them differs in weight.

C. They can improve the quality of tap water.

D. Some of them cannot combine with oxygen.

【2】Why is it possible to know where people are from by analyzing their hair?

A. People use the same bottled water.

B. People wash their hair in different ways.

C. People’s hair is affected by the weather of the places they stay.

D. People’s hair indicates the type of water in the places they stay.

【3】The last paragraph is mainly to show _______.

A. how to recognize criminals B. how to collect hair samples

C. the usefulness of hair analysis D. the process of Ehleringer’s study

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. Water composition B. Change your hair

C. Hair detectives D. No way out

【题目】B vitamins（维生素）may offer some protection against the effect of air pollution,a new study suggests.

The scientists say the effect is real but stress the limitations of their work.Follow-up studies are urgently needed, they say,in heavily polluted cities like Mexico.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO),over 90% of the world's population live in heavily-polluted areas.The one of the pollutants that is considered the most dangerous is very fine particulate matter, referred to as PM2.5.At around 1/30 the width of a human hair,PM2.5 can go deep into the human lung and contribute to lung and heart health problems in the young and old.

Scientists have long suspected that PM2.5 causes what are termed epigenetic（表观遗传）changes in our cells that can damage our health.Now in this new human trial,an international team of scientists wanted to see if exposure to concentrations of PM2.5 could be mitigated by daily B vitamins.

Ten volunteers were tested initially exposed to clean air and their basic responses were measured.The same volunteers were later tested with large doses（剂量）of B vitamins while exposed to air containing high levels of PM2.5.The researchers found that a four-week B vitamin intake limited the PM2.5 effect by between 28-76% at ten gene locations.They found a similar reduction in effect on the mitochondrial DNA,the parts of cells that produce energy.

However,the researchers caution that their study,while observing a real effect,has limitations.As well as the small number of participants,there was little information on the size of the B vitamin dose that caused the response.

【1】What is the main idea of the text?

A. B vitamins may fight against PM2.5.

B. PM2.5 can lead to epigenetic changes.

C. Further studies should be done on PM2.5.

D. Exposure to PM2.5 is more and more serious.

【2】Which can replace the underlined word "mitigated" in Paragraph 4?

A. measured B. ignored

C. reduced D. observed

【3】How many limitations does the text mention about the new study?

A. 2. B. 3.

C. 4. D. 5.

【4】How does the writer of the text like the new study?

A. He believes it deeply. B. He criticizes it strongly.

C. He thinks it needs testing again. D. He shows no opinion about it.

【题目】—How much do they ______ for the house? —450, 000 yuan.

【题目】An experiment was done on macaques（猕猴）.They【1】(give)a chain and taught that they would be fed if they pulled【2】chain.The catch,however,was that every time they pulled the chain,another macaque would be shocked.

Even though it meant risking starvation,87% of the macaques refused【3】(pull) the chain if they knew it would hurt another macaque.In one case,a macaque went a full two weeks without eating rather than deal with the guilt of【4】(hurt) another animal.

It's pretty impressive when you compare that to another study because another group of【5】(science) did a similar experiment on a different animal-humans.They paid people to pull a lever（杠杆）【6】they said would shock another person with【7】(electric).That other person was an actor who pretended to be【8】great pain every time they pulled the lever.In the experiment,a full 87% of the people pulled the lever all the way to a space【9】(mark) "Danger!Severe Shock!"even while hearing their victim scream painfully.It was all to get a few dollars that they could have【10】(easy) earned by getting a job at McDonald's.

【题目】Every time we get behind the wheel of a car, we put our lives and the lives of others at risk. Self-driving cars are designed to reduce those risks by letting technology control our vehicles.

Accident rates for self-driving cars have been much lower than the rate, for human-driven cars. 【1】

As humans, we can make moral choices in avoiding accidents. To avoid hitting a child, for example, human drivers might sharply turn a car away from the child even if others may be injured. 【2】 Researchers studied this issue. They have developed the Moral Machine website to help explore the choices self-driving cars should make.

【3】. You are shown two possible traffic situations and you choose between them. An accident will take place. You choose how many living beings would be hurt or killed.

In one situation there may be a female doctor, a child, two dogs and a homeless person who would be killed. In the other situation, you might have two babies and a cat who would be killed. 【4】

The Moral Machine website has many situations and many possible outcomes. When you click on the situation of your choice, it will be highlighted. 【5】 At the end of the situation, you are shown the results, based on the choices you made. The results show which character you were most likely to save and which character you were most likely to have die.

A. Who should those victims be?

B. Then the next situation appears.

C. You choose who lives and who dies.

D. You can use the Moral Machine to be the judge.

E. But what moral choices can self-driving cars make?

F. The Moral Machine website lets you choose how you would react in a collision.

G. Google’s self-driving car has had only 13 collisions after traveling 1.8 million miles.

【题目】Have your parents ever inspected your room to see if you cleaned it properly? Imagine having your entire houses, garage, and yard inspected at any time — with no warning. Inspections were a regular part of lighthouse (灯塔) living, and a keeper's reputation depended on results. A few times each year, an inspector arrived to look over the entire light station. The inspections were supposed to be a surprise, but keeper sometimes had advance notice.

Once lighthouses had telephones, keepers would call each other to warn that the inspector was approaching. After boats began flying special flags noting the inspector aboard, the keeper's family made it a game to see who could notice the boat first. As soon as someone spotted the boat, everyone would do last-minute tidying and change into fancy clothes. The keeper then scurried to put on his dress uniform and cap. Children of keepers remember inspectors wearing white gloves to run their fingers over door frames and windowsills looking for dust.

Despite the serious nature of inspections, they resulted in some funny moments. Betty Byrnes remembered when her mother did not have time to wash all the dishes before an inspection. At the time, people did not have dishwashers in their homes. In an effort to clean up quickly, Mrs. Byrnes tossed all the dishes into a big bread pan, covered them with a cloth and stuck them in the oven. If the inspector opened the oven door, it would look like bread was baking. He never did.

One day, Glenn Furst's mother put oil on the kitchen floor just before the inspector entered their house. Like floor wax, the oil made the floors shiny and helped protect the wood. This time, though, she used a little too much oil. When the inspector extended his hand to greet Glenn's mother, he slipped on the freshly oiled surface. "He came across that floor waving his arms like a young bird attempting its first flight," Glenn late wrote. After he steadied himself, he shook Glenn's mother's hand, and the inspection continued as though nothing had happened.

【1】What does Paragraph I tell us about the inspection at the light station?

A. It was carried out once a year.

B. It was often announced in advance.

C. It was important for the keeper's fame.

D. It was focused on the garage and yard.

【2】The family began making preparations immediately after ________.

A. one of the members saw the boat

B. a warning call reached the lighthouse

C. the keeper put on the dress uniform and cap

D. the inspector flew special flags in the distance

【3】Mrs. Byrnes put the dishes in the oven because this would ________.

A. result in some fun

B. speed up washing them

C. make her home look tidy

D. be a demand from the inspector

【4】The inspector waved his arms ________.

A. to try his best to keep steady

B. to show his satisfaction with the floor

C. to extend a warm greeting to Glenn's mother

D. to express his intention to continue the inspection
