Five years of research, 20 employees, $14 million and a whole lot of doubting from investors and scientistsTheir pany, Zeo, based in Newton, Mass, launched its product in June, xxThe Zeo device uses a headband with tiny sensors （传感器） that scan your brain for signs of four sleep states- REM, light, deep and waking sleepThe smart alarm clock displays a graph of your sleep pattern and wakes you as youre not in REM sleep （which is when youre least groggy）In the morning you can upload the data to the panys Web site, and so track your sleep over timeMost of the feedback es in the form of Zeos ZQ score showing how well youve sleptZeo allows people to unlock this black box of sleep, says Dave Dickinson, a health-care CEOWhether any of this actually improves sleep is up to the consumer, who will also need to make lifestyle changes like cutting out alcohol before bedtime or caffeine after 3 pmFor now the pany is selling Zeo online onlyDickinson also plans to spread it to countries such as Australia, where sleep deprivation approaches US levels21Who will support Zeo?APeople full of imagination BPeople suffering sleeping problemsCPeople having access to the Internet DPeople having bad lifestyles22Why did the three graduate students imagine a smart alarm clock?ATo wake them up on time in the morningBTo earn enough money for their studyCTo improve the quality of peoples sleepDTo enjoy their life while working at night23To design the Zeo device, the three graduate students _Aspent much time and money Bwere widely supported by scientistsCworked by themselves all the time Dattracted many investors24What can we know from the passage?AZeo has a direct effect on users lifestylesBIt needs more personal efforts to make Zeo function betterCA large quantity of Zeo devices have been sold in AustraliaDConsumers can go to the Zeo pany to purchase Zeo in personAs puters bee all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly depending on puter keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the puter too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes (笔画) 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 puter as early as primary school. And puter dependence is more widely spread among university students. Almost all their assignment and essays are typed on a puter.All the students interviewed say they usually use a puter.Its faster and easier to correct if using a puter. And thats why puters are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in puters increasingly, problems appear.“When Im writing with a pen, I find I often cant remember how to write a character, though I feel Im familiar with it.”“Im not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”Many students dont feel this is something to worry about. Now that its more convenient and efficient to write on a puter, why bother to handwrite?Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “ Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic (审美的) value. But those characters typed with puter keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writers emotion. Through ones handwriting, people can get to know ones 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 pulsory（必修的）and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.25. The underlined expression “taking stock in” in paragraph 4 probably means_.A. getting bored with B. getting dependent onC. being crazy aboutD. getting curious about26. The students interviewed prefer to write using a puter mainly because_.A. puters have bee a trend and fashion in China B. they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essaysC. they find it not easy to remember how to write a characterD. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently27. Which of the following statement is NOT true of the advantage of handwriting?A. Handwriting contains the writers emotions.B. Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.C. Handwriting can impress people well and build ones self-confidence.D. The writers thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.28. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. To Type or to Handwrite. B. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing.C. Writing by puter Will Replace Writing by Hand.D. Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters.CListen up!

The concept is being used to deal with one possibly dangerous form of waste electronic junk (电子垃圾), such as old puters, cell phones, and televisions. But this process for managing e-waste may be used in an unscrupulous(肆无忌惮的) way more often than not used, a recent report suggests.“A lot of these materials are being sent to developing nations under the excuse of reuse to bridge the digital divide,” said Richard Gutierrez, a policy researcher.One of the problems is that no one proves whether these old machines work before they hit the seaways. Because of this, the report says, e-waste is a growing problem in Lagos, Nigeria, and elsewhere in the developing world. Much of the waste ends up being thrown away along rivers and roads. Often its picked apart by poor people, who may face dangerous exposure to poisonous chemicals in the equipment.Businessmen also pay workers a little money to get back materials such as gold and copper. This low-tech recovery process could expose workers and the local environment to many dangerous materials used to build electronics. According to Gutierrez, this shadow economy exists because the excuse of recycling and reusing electronics gives businessmen “a green passport” to ship waste around the globe. “Developing nations must take upon some of the responsibility themselves,” Gutierrez said. But, he added, “A greater portion of this responsibility should fall on the exporting state.”China, for example, has bee a dumping place for large amounts of e-waste. The nation is beginning to take action to stop the flow of dangerous materials across its borders. The Chinese government, after many years of denial is finally beginning to take the lead.32. The passage mainly tells us that _.A. developing countries are making full use of e-wasteB. e-waste is a growing problem in developed countriesC. developing countries are facing serious environmental problemsD. e-waste is sent to developing countries under the excuse of reuse33. What does the fuorth paragraph mainly discuss?A. A lot of e-waste is dumped in developing countries.B. Old puters and TVs still work before sent abroad. C. The problem of e-waste is growing in developing countries.D. Poor people break up e-waste to collect some valuable materials 34. From what Gutierrez said we can learn that _.A. poor countries should be blamed for this problemB. developing countries should be responsible for this problemC. neither rich nor poor countries should be blamed for this problemD. exporting countries should be mainly responsible for this problem35. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _.A. China has hidden a large amount of e-waste in many secret placesB. China has greatly changed her idea about the problem of e-wasteC. China is falling behind other countries in dealing with e-waste D. China has prevented poisonous materials entering China for a long time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。 Are you truly happy?
