The images, created by Luis Herman from Newcastle University, show mystery of Wi-Fi sweeping and swirling(旋转）around in bright beams. They were produced as part of Henans Digital Ethereal project, which aims to bring the invisible world around us to life.Luis,who is studying for a PhD in Architecture and Interaction Design, said he is fascinated with the idea of being able to see the hidden wireless networks which surround us. He said,“I call the images specters (恐怖之物) because wireless networks remind me of ghosts. They are there but you cant see them with the human eyes.” uThe fact that we are becoming increasingly reliant on something that we cant see inspires me. I want to find a way to show the wireless which is around us and also to show how it changes.” Henan created the photographs using a custom-made instrument designed to reveal them.It scans continuously for wireless networks, and transforms the signal strength to colour LEDs.The results are multi-coloured lines of light which spin and wrap in spaces, showing how they surround objects and people. Henan has also created an app whichcan bedownloaded for free,andforAndroid devices called Kirlian, which allows people tosee the strength of Wi-Fi aroundthem.Hesaid“I would love other people to get involved and to create their own images using the app.” “I used it as an important part of an exhibition of my work, where we hung mobile phones fromthe ceiling and it showed how signal strength was varying as people moved around the room.”28.

Birthday presents wrapped in colorful paper, brown paper packages are mailed from a friend. No matter what kind of box it is，people like to open it up and see whats inside. In America, and in many other countries, one special kind of box contains the future. Its called a ballot (投票，选票）box. What people put into the box on Election Day can change the course of history. Elections are the lifeblood of a democracy. The word democracy literally means “the people rule，” an important concept in Americas history. In the mid-1700s, England began passing laws that made the American colonies angry. The colonists had to pay more and more taxes and enjoyed less and less freedom. They felt the government of England didnt represent their interests. On July 4, 1776, the colonies declared their independence from England. They wanted to establish a democracy where people could have a voice in government. An effective democracy holds regular elections. In America, every four years, voters go to the polls to elect the nations president and vice-president. Voters also regularly cast their ballots for state and city government leaders and local school board members. Sometimes they also have to vote on a proposed law. In the American electoral system，people dont really vote for presidential candidates. Instead, voters cast their ballots for “electors” who support each candidate. Each state has as many electors as the total number of its representatives in Congress. The candidate who has the most votes in a state wins all of the states electors. To win the presidential election, a candidate must gain at least 270 of the 538 total electoral votes. Over the years, the U.S. has made a number of election reforms. Some early reformsoutlawed (宣布.不合法）cheating，giving bribes and threatening voters. In 1870, black people gained the right to vote, and in 1920, that right was extended to women. In recent decades, laws against unfair rules for voting have been passed. In 1971, the voting age was lowered to 18. Other reforms made voting easier for the blind, the disabled and people who couldnt read. In some areas, ballots had to be printed in languages besides English.32.What is the main idea of the passage?A.American elections. B. American democracy.C.American election reforms. D. American electoral system.33.Who dont people in America vote for regularly?A. The president. B.City government leaders.C.Middle school headmasters.D.Local school board members.34. Why did American colonies want to be independent?A. Because the government of England represented their interests.B. Because the government of England didnt want to govern them.C. Because they shared no freedom and dependence but responsibility.D. Because they wanted to have a voice in government.35. What can we lean about American elections?A. All Americans can cast their ballots on Election Day.B. Elections are regularly held in the United States.C. A presidential candidate must gain less than half the votes.D. In 1870, American women gained the right to vote.第二节（共5小题;每小题3分，满分15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。 TV advertisements often tell people to drink more.
