11、e: an August 2018 study tested 50 foods made for babies. including organic and nonorganic brands such as Gerber, Earths Best, and other popular labels, and found evidence of at least one dangerous heavy metal in every product. Fifteen of the 50 contained enough contaminants(污染物)to pose potential hea

12、lth risks to a child eating one serving or less a day.Heavy metals can damage cognitive(认知的 )development in children, who are especially at risk because of their smaller size. Inorganic arsenic in drinking water has been found to lower the IQ scores of children by five to six ills. And as heavy meta

But pesticides(杀虫剂), mining and pollution increase their concentrations, and farming and food manufacturing processes

15、can contribute even more.Food makers are clearly of keeping baby food poison-free: roughly a third of the tested products did not contain worrisome metal levels. Some companies are already trying to look into the sources of contamination in their products and try to reduce them. More companies shoul

An analysis of 36 months of detailed taxi, driver and accident data from two fleets of yell

21、ow and blue taxis in Singapore suggested that yellow taxis have fewer accidents than blue taxis. The higher visibility (能见度) of yellow makes it less difficult for drivers to avoid getting into accidents with yellow taxis, leading to a lower accident rate.The study was led by Prof Ho. To test whether

22、 there was a relationship between the color of a taxi and the number of accidents the taxi had, the research team analysed data collected by the largest taxi company in Singapore. The researchers found that yellow taxis have about 6. 1 fewer accidents per 1,000 taxis per month.They also studied the

23、economic effect of changing the color of the entire fleet of taxis to yellow. The Singapore taxi company involved in the study owns about 16,700 taxis in a ratio(比例) of one yellow to three blue taxis. If a commercial decision is made to switch from blue to yellow taxis, 76.6 fewer accidents will occ

24、ur per month or 917 fewer accidents per year.Assuming an average repair cost of $1,000 per car and a downtime of six days, the color of all taxis to yellow could produce an annual saving of $ 2 million.“We are eager to continue to validate (证实) the findings of our study by looking at the use of yell

25、ow in other types of public transport, such as school buses. For example, we hope to compare the accident rates of yellow school buses against those of other colors to find out if yellow is indeed a safer color for school buses. Besides, were also interested to look at private-hire vehicles and do a

Nokero, a company started by Brian Rants, sells lamps that do not require kerosene (蓖麻油). These solar lamps have become a staple (主流产品) in countries

30、 in Africa, to provide light for reading and safety at night.Nokcro has sold over 500,000 lamps in over 120 countries since it was first founded in 2010 and Rants thinks the demand for his product will only continue to increase. Most lamps found in third-world countries currently require kerosene to

31、 run. but kerosene causes indoor pollution and has been linked to fires that have caused over a million deaths.Instead of experiencing the effects of smoking 40 cigarettes a day from kerosene lamps, Rants thinks his solar lamps could be the answer for third-world countries. The Economist agrees, cal

32、ling solar lights “the next big innovation for the worlds poor”. Nokeros solar lamps are higher in quality and less expensive than a lot of solar technology, making them a practical option for many people in third world countries.Rather than giving solar lamps to individuals in need. Nokeros mission

33、 is to make them affordable. Through research Rants has realized that individuals who buy a solar product take better care of it and value it more than if they had received it for free. Families who buy Nokeros solar lamps make up the cost in just a few months of not having to buy kerosene or pay fo

34、r off-the-grid electricity.Some activists have attacked companies such as Nokero for selling products to the poor rather than simply giving them out for free. They argue that these companies unfairly profit off the poor. However, Rants disagrees. Families receive a product that is much higher in qua

35、lity than what they might receive for free and feel a sense of ownership having purchased it for themselves.1、What do we know about the solar lamps in the passage?AThey save energy and cause no pollution.BThey equal the effect of 40 cigarettes a day.CThey are given to the individuals free of charge.

36、DThey help to save kerosene in third-world countries.2、According to Rants, if the poor arc given the lamps for free, they .Awill have to pay for kerosene or electricityBwill not take good care or value the lampsCwill feel a sense of ownership of the lampsDwont help to increase the sales of the lamps

BThoughtful.CCharitable. DGreedy.24（8分）Hit songs are big business, so there is an

38、incentive for composers to get those ingredients that might increase their chances of success. But songs are complex mixtures of features. How to analyse them is made more difficult by the fact that what is popular changes over time. But Natalia Komarova, a mathematician at the University of Califor

39、nia, Irvine, thinks she has cracked the problem. Her computer analysis suggests that the songs currently preferred by consumers are danceable, party-like numbers. Unfortunately, those actually writing songs prefer something else.She and her colleagues collected information on music released in Brita

40、in between 1985 and 2015. They looked in music “metadata (元数据) that are used by music lovers and are often tapped into by academics. Metadata are information about the nature of a song that can give listeners an idea of what that song is like before they hear it. Dr. Komarova and her team were prese

41、nted with more than 500,000 songs to detect numerous musical features. The team fed all of this information into a computer and compared the features of songs that had made it into the charts (排行榜) with those of songs that had not.Overall, the teams results suggested that chart successes were happie

42、r and brighter than the average songs released during the same year. Chart toppers were also more likely than average songs to have been performed by women.Dr. Komarova used these results to train her computer to try to predict whether a randomly presented song was likely to have been a hit in a giv

43、en year. The machine correctly predicted success 75% of the time, compared with that from the music database.Content isnt everything. As might be expected, circumstances, particularly any fame already attached to a recording artist or artists, had an effect too. But not a huge one. That suggests tha

44、t musical fame is actually attached to talent, rather than to advertising. And this is a lesson for an industry that some believe is not connected enough to talent.1、Why is it difficult to tell what makes good music?AWhat people think is popular changes with the time.BWhat some people think popular

45、isnt for other people.CNo one cares about what makes popular music.DIts difficult to know the features of popular music.2、What can we infer from the results of the teams research?AThe content of good music can be typed into computers.BGood music has the quality to make people think about life.CHappi

46、er and brighter songs are more likely to make the charts.DAnalysis can decide in advance whether a song will be popular.3、What does the underlined word “incentive” in Paragraph 1 mean?AExpression. BMotivation.CExhibition. DDivision.4、Whats the relationship between musical fame and the singer?AA famo

47、us singer will make any music he/she sings popular.BGood music depends on whether the singer is widely advertised.CA good female singer can make an average song popular.DTalent is more important than fame to make a song popular.25（10分） Seattles Pike Place Market stretches for four city blocks.

50、 Piroshky is. People think sometimes its a last name, so we do have to educate people a lot. If you go to Russia and you go to a market like this, you could hear the latest scream out - Piroshky, Piroshky and thats why we call it Piroshky.Next to Piroshky is a Chinese bakery called Mee Sumpastry. It

Like Chinese hamburger, you can put chicken or puppy kibble or crispy even vegetable in it.But in thissprawling (无序扩展的) market, one of the most unusual places isnt a food

52、or craft stall. Its the gum wall where people can stick their tiny chewed upclumpon a roll. Apparently, they dont give it much thought, trying to be original.
