Snap Inc. has started selling its Spectacles sunglasses online in the United States.Apple iPhone XApples new iPhone X is being launched with its new Face ID system that it says will unlock the phone just by having the user look at it. This replaces the Touch ID on previous ones that used a fingerprint to unlock the phone.Apple says the system works by projecting more than 30,000 dots on the face to create a kind of map. Apple says its facial recognition is even secure enough to allow payments through its Apple Pay service.21. What is the special function of Google Clips?A. It can play videos by itself.B. It can take pictures automatically.C. It can change photos into videos.D. It can provide music and effects.22. Which of the following can now be bought on the Internet?A. Google Clips B. GoPro HeroC. Snap Spectacles D. Apple iPhone X23. How is Apple iPhone X unlocked?A. By a fingerprint. B. By facial recognition.C. By pushing a button. D. By making a map.BSome people can stay up all night and still get work done the next day. Im not one of them. After a night without enough sleep, I feel bad-tempered. I have trouble remembering things. And all I want to do is go to bed.How do you feel after youve stayed up late to finish schoolwork or the day after an overnight party? Scientists now say that your answers to these questions may depend on your genes. New research suggests that a gene called “period 3” influences how well you function without sleep. The “period 3” gene es in two forms: short and long. Everyone has two copies of the gene. So, you may have two longs, two shorts, or one of each. Your particular bination depends on what your parents passed on to you.Scientists from the University of Surrey in England studied 24 people who had either two short or two long copies of “period 3”. Study participants (参与者) had to stay awake for 40 hours straight. Then, they took tests that measured how quickly they pushed a button when numbers flashed (闪过) on a screen and how well they could remember lists of numbers.Results showed that the people with the short form of “period 3” performed much better on these tests than the people with the long form did. In both groups, people performed worst in the early morning. After the first round of experiments, participants were finally allowed to sleep. People in the group that performed well on the tests (those with the short form of “period 3”) took about 18 minutes to nod off.While people with the long “period 3” gene fell asleep in just 8 minutes. They also spent more time on deep sleep. That suggests that people with the long form of the gene need more and deeper sleep to keep their brains working in top form.I think I must have the long form of “period 3”. What about you?24. The purpose of this passage might be _ A. to tell the result of a research on sleepy gene.B. to tell us the importance of plenty of sleep.C. to inform the harm of lacking sleep. D. to announce the sleeping rules of humans.25.What kind of people need less sleep according to the research? A. Those with two long copies of the gene.B. Those with two short copies of the gene.C. Those with one short and one long copy of the gene.D. Those with three short copies of the gene.26. If one lacks enough sleep, one should avoid doing important or dangerous things _.A. at noon B. at night C. at dawn D. in the afternoon27. Why did the writer think he or she had the long form of “period 3”? A. Because the writer could remain energetic without enough sleep. B. Because the writer could do things correctly at dawn. C. Because the writer needed more sleep to keep energetic.D. Because the writer recovered quickly after sleep.COne of the most efficient ways to achieve peace and speed up economies (经济) is to provide girls with better education and more rights. Today, girls lack of access (进入) to basic education is getting more serious when it es to the use of digital (数码的) technology, leaving them far behind boys. And because the world is even more digital, those who lack basic internet skills will find it increasingly more difficult to take part in the formal economy, to get a quality education, and to have their voices heard.Since xx the global gender gap (性别差异) in male and female access to the Internet has actually increased from 11 to 12 percent. Worse yet, women and girls living in the poorest countries are 31 percent less likely than men and boys to have access to the Internet. In developing countries, some 200 million fewer women than men own a mobile phone, the most mon means of internet access there. This digital divide is increasing, and should it continue at the present pace, it is projected that over 75 percent of women and girls will lack internet access and digital skills.There are many causes of the digital gender gap. They include girls exclusion (排斥) from basic education, from specific technology education and high costs of mobile phones and internet access.Indeed, one of the so-called reasons why girls may be discouraged from learning how to access and use digital technology is also a groundless one: that girls are simply not good at using technology.Without the help of the government, most of the benefits of technological change will be enjoyed only by men, exacerbating gender inequality.28. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Women suffer a lot from the poor economy.B. Digital technology is greatly beneficial to men.C. The digital gender gap needs to be closed.D. Girls are lacking in basic education.29. How is Paragraph 2 organized?A. By giving reasons. B. By giving numbers.C. By following time order. D. By giving examples.30. What is the writers attitude to the idea that girls are simply not good at using technology?A. Positive. B. Negative.C. Acceptable. D. Unconcerned.31. What does the underlined word “exacerbating” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. worsening B. causingC. reducing D. improvingDIt might be something that you miss unless its pointed out to you. Next time you go to a public bathroom, take a look before you sit down on the toilet seat. You wont see a circle shape, but something designed not connected in the front part: a U.This is an open-front toilet seat, and thanks to the American Standard National Plumbing (水管装置) Technology, its the go-to for most public restrooms. This technology was created in 1955 and further developed by the Uniform Plumbing Technology in 1973, according to Mental Floss.As to the plumbing rules which fit water seats, the first two requirements are as follows: Toilet seats shall be of smooth, non-absorbed material. All Toilet seats, except those within apartment units, shall be either of the open front type or have an automatic seat cover.This part of the rules also clears up why you wont meet fur toilet seats in truck stop bathrooms. The reason for both of these rules es down to health. With an open front, theres less surface area that can make incidental touch with your private regions. But what about the toilet seat covers you can use? Unfortunately, those dont offer as much protection against bacteria as you think they do.They were also designed with women in mind, according to Lynne Simick, the senior vice president of technology development at IAPMO. The open front of the seat is fairly good for women.Now that you know why the public toilet seat is shaped the way it is, learn which one is the cleanest you can use.32. What do we know about the toilet seat from the first paragraph?A. Its round. B. Its expensive. C. Its plex. D. Its specialized.33. What is the advantage to use the toilet seat with an open front?A. It has an automatic seat cover.B. It is made from non-absorbed material.C. It is very fortable to sit on.D. It can protect you from bacteria.34. Which of the following is the best choice according to the text?A. B. C. D. 35. What does the text mainly talk about?A. How U-shaped toilet seats came into being.B. Why public toilet seats are shaped like a U.C. What materials are used in public toilet seats.D. Where U-shaped toilet seats are used.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Tips for Using Google Maps When You TravelTraveling somewhere new can bring exciting adventures.
