Now scientists have found a better way to rouse slumbering youngsters. Researchers in the US have discovered that playing a child a recording of his mothers voice is about three times more likely to wake him up than a traditional alarm.Writing in the Journal of Pediatrics, Smith and colleagues report how they compared the effects of four different smoke alarms on 176 children aged between 5 and 12 years old, none of whom had hearing difficulties or were taking any medication that affected their sleep. While one alarm featured a high pitched beeps he sort of commonly found in households the other three featured the voice of the childs mother calling either the childs name, giving instructions such as: Wake up! Leave the room or both. Each child slept in a lab-based room that resembled a real bedroom.The results show that vocal alarms appear to be more effective than high-pitched beeps. About 90% of children woke for a voice alarm compared with just over 53% for the traditional alarmHigh pitched beeping alarms dont wake up children well at all under about 12 years of age. Said Dr Gary Smith, a co-author of the research from the Nationwide Childrens hospital in Ohio, although he said at present it is not known why He said it was important to look at developing better alarmsProf Niamh Nic Daeid, director of the Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science at the University of Dundee, said the research found a human voice combined with a low frequency pulsing tone was far more effective in waking up children than a traditional high-pitched alarm. She also noted that more work was needed to explore whether other familiar sounds, such as a dog barking, might also prove effective in rousing children.（1）What does the underlined word slumbering mean in Paragraph 1? A . restingB . sleepingC . lyingD . waking（2）Which of the following statements about the research is NOTTRUE? A . In the research, no kids had taken medicine with sleeping effect.B . 176 children were required to hear 4 different kinds of alarms.C . During the research, high pitched beeping alarm was used.D . Each kid slept in a real bedroom.（3）Why is it difficult to wake up kids under about 12 years of age with high pitched beeping alarm? A . Because high pitched beeping alarms are not so effective as voice alarms.B . Because high pitched beeping alarms are three times more likely to rouse kids.C . Because voice alarm is a better developed alarm.D . It is unknown so far.（4）What can we infer from the last paragraph? A . A human voice with a low-frequency pulsing tone was more effective.B . The sound of dog-barking is more effective in rousing childrenC . Other familiar sounds might be found effective in waking up kids.D . Traditional smoke alarm is no use at all（5）Which of the following do you think is the best title of the passage? A . Mothers voice more effective in fire alarmsB . Say NO to high pitched beeping alarmsC . Sleeping in high pitched beeping alarmsD . How to develop a better alarm四、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共10分)29. （10分）阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，完成文章后的表格。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。Hollywood is a shiny, bright place. It is the movie capital of the world. And it is also one of the tourist destinations (目的地) in America. In 1911 the small, peaceful village of Hollywood in California was voted to become part of Los Angeles (洛杉矶). Today, over 100 years later, this village has grown into the home of one of the most well-known industries in the world the American film industry.With this growth came many well-known symbols. There is the famous Hollywood sign which stands above the hills of the town. The first sign was built in 1923. Then there is the Hollywood Hall of Fame (名人堂), where great actresses, actors and directors leave their footprints or handprints. Norma Talmadge was the first actress to do this in 1927. But the most famous of all is the Oscar Academy Awards. Every spring, a large number of actresses, actors and directors wait excitedly and nervously to find out if they have won an Oscar. This year was the 85th Oscar Academy Awards. It was held on February 25 in Los Angeles. Ang Lee, a Chinese director, won the Award for Best Director again. It was the second time he had won the Award.Nowadays it is the home of films, and thousands of hopeful young actresses, actors, writers and directors still come to the Dream Factory every year. But not all Hollywood dreams have been happy ones as one actress, who later died tragically (悲惨地), said, Hollywood is a place where they will pay you 500 dollars for a kiss, and 50 cents for your soul (灵魂).HollywoodA brief (简要)introduction to Hollywood Its the home of the film _.
