Suddenly, above each mountaintop, a name appears on the sky. The words are not written in smoke by skywriting pl

25、anes. The words are actually not in the sky at all. They come from tiny computers in contact lenses(隐形眼镜).Computers have become smaller and smaller over the decades. The first computers filled houses. Transistors(晶体管) and then chips allowed computers to become small enough to fit on a desktop, then

26、a laptop, and finally a phone. When experimenting with further reductions in size, developers often have to deal with the limits of human eyesight, which control how small the computers can be and still present visible information.One new solution employs microprojectors(微型投影机) to create a readable

27、display(显示) for tiny computers. These machines project computer information onto any surface. Though an impressive breakthrough, there are potential problems. Such public displays can lead to privacy concerns; most people do not want their information displayed on a wall for everyone to see. Besides

28、, these projectors are extremely expensive, and their screens give users headaches. Babak Parviz, a researcher at the University of Washington, created another solution: inventing a screen visible only to a person wearing a contact lens. Parviz created a computer in a contact lens that uses the wear

29、ers field of vision as the display. To create the display, Parviz took ordinary soft contact lenses with a wirelessly controlled system. At some point, Parviz says, it will be possible to connect the lens to a remote personal computer device such as a cellphone or a laptop. By looking in a certain d

30、irection, the wearer sends the computer visual information about what he or she sees. The device then uses this information to point out the names of peaks.These contact lenses are inserted and removed in much the same way as ordinary contact lenses. In addition, the computers in the lenses wont blo

31、ck the wearers sight at all. Although now the computers are not on lenses treating eyesight problems, Parviz hopes that someday the technology will progress to that level.39. The contact lenses in the text can _.A. treat eyesight problems B. offer beautiful views of nature C. project information on

32、wall surface D. show information about what wearers see40. According to Paragraph 3, the microprojectors _.A. put peoples privacy at risk B. save computer informationC. cause serious illnesses D. support users needs41. According to the passage, these contact lenses contribute to _.A. saving users ex

33、penses B. reducing computers sizeC. limiting the field of vision D. guarding remote computers 42. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Tiny Computers, Amazing Sights B. Smaller Lenses, Closer ViewsC. Progress towards Clearness D. Road to the Small World CPierre Dukan, the nutritionist beh

34、ind the popular but controversial (有争议的) Dukan diet, has suggested that France deal with child obesity by giving extra exam marks for slimness. Dukan, who has sold 8 million copies of his diet book worldwide, made the proposal in a 250-page book called An open Letter to the Future President, which h

35、e sent out to 16 candidates (候选人) for Frances presidential election. The plan calls for high school students to be allowed to take a so-called “ideal weight” option in their final year exams, “the baccalaureat”, under which they would earn extra points if they kept a body mass index (BMI) of between

36、 18 and 25. Those already overweight at the start of the two-year course would score double points if they managed to slim down over a period of two years. “Its a fantastic motivator (动力),” Dukan told the reporters. “The baccalaureat is really important in France. Kids want to get it, and their pare

37、nts want them to get it even more, so why not get them to work together on nutrition?”Weight gain is becoming an increasing problem in France and experts say sedentary (久坐不动) lifestyle and poor nutrition are to blame. World Health Organization(WHO) figures show 50.7 percent of the population were ov

38、erweight in 2010, including 18.2 percent classed as obese.“Theres a real problem. Since the 1960s, the number of overweight people in France has risen from 500,000 to 22 million and its going up every year,” Dukan said. “When you reach those levels, its no longer a health problem, it becomes a polit

39、ical problem, and the leaders of the nation need to worry about it.”As well as the suggestion for students, Dukans book contains 119 further suggestions for the future president on ways to fight obesity. One idea is the creation of a French fast-food restaurant serving more nutritional versions of b

40、urgers and fries. Dukan has earned an international reputation as a diet guru (专家) to the stars, although his methods have drawn criticism from some health experts and weight watchers who say his high-protein meal plan causes tiredness, bad breathe and dizziness. But he is also very active in promot

41、ing healthier lifestyles.He recently met the manager from McDonalds France with a suggestion for a healthy “McDukan” burger, made with low-fat meat and oatmeal bread instead of the usual white bun. Unfortunately, the giant food chain turned him down. “They were interested, but they said the public w

42、asnt quite ready for it yet,” he said. 43. According to the passage, “the baccalaureat” is probably _. A. a book on ideal weight B. part of final year examsC. a healthy diet for students D. an important system of BMI44. We can infer that by sending his books to the 16 candidates, Pierre Dukan wanted

43、 _. A. to show his support for the presidential election B. them to advertise for his diet book C. the future leaders of France to take child obesity seriouslyD. to emphasize how serious the health problem is45. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about Dukan according to the passage? A. Dukan is ver

44、y eager to join in political campaigns.B. Many stars would like to ask Dukan for diet advice.C. Dukan thinks burgers and fries provided now are unhealthy. D. Some health experts dont agree with Dukans diet plan.46. This article mainly introduces _.A. weight problems in France B. Pierre Dukan and his

45、 diet bookC. the importance of the baccalaureat D. Pierre Dukans suggestions to fight obesityD A moment later I heard my uncle calling me, and found the two men on the road together. The captain then addressed me as if I was his equal, which was very pleasing to a young fellow like me.Sir, said he,

46、Mr. Balfour tells me great things of you, and I like your looks. I wish I was staying here longer so that we might become friends. But well make the most of the short time that we have. You must come on board my brig (双桅船) for half an hour and have a drink with me.Now, I cannot describe how eager 1

47、was to see the inside of a ship. But I was not going to put myself in danger, and I told him my uncle and I had an appointment with a lawyer.Yes, said he, he told me of that. But, you see, the boat will set you on shore farther along, near Rankeillors house. And here he suddenly leaned down and whis

48、pered in my ear: Take care; the old devil (恶魔) has evil plans. Come on board till I can have a Word with you.Then, passing his arm through mine, he continued aloud, as he set off towards his boat: Now what can I bring you from Carolina? Any friend of Mr. Balfour can ask for what he likes. A roll of

49、tobacco? Indian feather work? A wild beasts skin? A stone pipe? A mocking-bird that cries just like a cat? Make your choice and give your order.By this time we were beside his boat and he was helping me in. I did not dream of refusing. I thought (like a fool) that 1 had found a friend and helper, an

50、d I was looking forward to seeing the ship. As soon as we were all in our places the boat was pushed off and began to move over the water. I was so delighted with this new experience that I hardly understood what the captain said, and must have answered him without thinking.As soon as we were alongs

51、ide, Hoseason ordered a rope and chair to be sent down, declaring that he and I must be the first to go on board. I was lifted into the air and set down again on the deck(甲板), where the captain stood waiting for me and immediately slipped his arm under mine. I stood there, rather confused and perhap

52、s a little afraid, but delighted with the strange things all around me, while the captain pointed out some of the strangest and told me their names and uses.And then I saw that my uncle was not with us.I felt I was lost. With all my strength, I tore myself out of the captains grasp and ran to the si

53、de of the ship. Yes, there was the ship being rowed back to the shore, with my uncle sitting in it. I gave a wild cry-so loud that it rang out over the harbor, and my uncle turned around and showed me a face full of cruelty and terror.That was the last thing I saw. Already strong hands had been pull

54、ing me back from the ships side, and now lightning seemed to strike me. I saw a great flash of fire, and fell unconscious.47. This passage is most probably taken from _.
