Traffic.BFairies today are the material of, childrens stories, little magical people with wings, often shining with light. Typically pretty and female, like Tinkerbell in Peter Pan, they usually use their magic to do small things and are mostly friendly to humans.One explanation suggests the origin of fairies is a memory of real people. So, for example when tribes with metal weapons invaded land where people only used stone weapons some of the people escaped and hid in forests and caves. Further support for this idea is that fairies were thought to be afraid of iron and could not touch it. Living outside of society, the hiding people probably stole food and attacked villages. This might explain why fairies were often described as playing tricks on humans. Hundreds of years ago, people actually believed that fairies stole new babies and replaced them with a "changeling"-a fairy baby-or that they took new mothers and made them feed fairy babies with their milk.While most people no longer believe in fairies, only a hundred years ago some people were very willing to think they might exist. In 1917, 16-year-old Elsie Wright took two photos of her cousin, nine-year-old Frances Griffiths, sitting with fairies. Some photography experts thought they were not real, while others werent sure. But Arthur Conan Doyle, the writer of the Sherlock Holmes detective stories, believed they were real. He published the original pictures, and three more that the girls took for him, in a magazine called The Strand, in 1920. The girls only admitted the photos were not real years later in 1983, and that they created them using pictures of dancers that Elsie copied from a book.24. What does the underlined words "this idea" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Fairies used stone tools. B. Fairies used metal weapons.C. Fairies are based on real people. D. Fairies are friendly to humans.25. Why were fairies often described as playing tricks on humans?A. Fairies were afraid of iron and could not touch it.B. Fairies stole new babies and replaced them with a fairy baby.C. People who were defeated would escape and hide in the forests.D. The hiding people would probably steal food and attack villages.26. Who thought the photos taken in 1917 were real?A. Arthur Conan Doyle. B. Elsie Wright.C. Most photography experts. D. Elsie Wrights cousin.27. Which idea will the author most probably agree with?A. Whether fairies exist or not is uncertain.B. There are still many people believing in fairies.C. Children should not believe in fairies any longer.D. The attitude people hold towards fairies has changed.CEver notice your phone dies faster in cold weather? But why? As LiveScience reports, it all comes down to chemical reactions within the battery.If you were to open any smartphone, youd probably find a Li-ion(锂离子)battery running the show. Inside the battery, there are two poles, a positive pole(正极)and a negative pole(负极), and how much charge your phone has all depends on which side the ions stay. A fully charged battery will be jam-packed with ions on the positive end, while a dead battery will have all the ions stored in the negative end.Your phone is powered as the individual ions travel in solution(溶液)from one pole to the other, but a cold temperature doesnt cause the Solution flow in the battery itself. If it flowed, the ions would have to go somewhere, but they actually stay put when it gets cold. The cold temperature causes chemical reactions that slow down the current(电流). The only other time this smaller current is sent through the battery is when all the ions have been spent, so your phone mistakenly reads the slowdown as being out of power.Now, how can you get yourself out of this situation? Dr. Stephen J. Harris, a chemist at the Lawrence Berkeley Lab, says whatever you do, dont charge it. Your fully charged battery isnt lacking ions, and the cold temperature isnt allowing more ions to be pulled into the anode. They pass through the solution as solid lithium, which can really do some serious damage to the battery cell itself.The only way to get the battery back to life is to let it return to its normal operating temperature. We recommend leaving it in your pocket or spending a few minutes inside away from the bitter cold.28. What do we know about the battery?A. We can just charge one side of it. B. A dead battery stores no ions inside.C. Its full with all ions on the negative end. D. Smartphones are powered by Li-ion batteries.29. What makes the phone dead in the cold weather?A. The lack of ions. B. The loss of solution.C. The slowdown of the current. D. The disorder of the ions.30. What might Dr. Stephen agree to do when your phone dies in the cold?A. Leave it in the cold. B. Warm it in the pocket.C. Get it charged immediately. D. Restart it immediately.31. What may be the best title of the text?A. Reactions Inside the Battery B. Ways to Keep Phones AliveC. Cold Weather Kills Your Phone D. How Phones Work Under Cold WeatherDIs that person really glad to see me? Or is he just being polite? Some people struggle to tell an artificial smile from a truly happy-one. And computers have found this task even more difficult. Recently, researchers have trained a program to detect when a smile is genuine(真诚的).Visual computing researchers at the University of Bradford in the U. K. started with a software for analyzing a changing facial expression. This program can examine a video clip of a human head and identify(确认) specific details around the eyes, cheeks and mouth. Then the program tracks the details relative to each other as the face smiles.Next,the scientists had their program evaluate(评估)two sets of video clips. In one subjects performed posed smiles. In the other, they watched a film that inspired genuine displays of emotion. The program calculated the differences among the subjects faces during the two clips. And it turns out that ones mouth, cheeks and eyes move differently when pretending to smile.In particular, the muscles around the eyes shift 10 percent more for a real smile than they do for a fake one. These results are in the journal Advanced Engineering Informatics. "A genuine smile is indeed in the eyes. The computer aids analysis of the exact weight distribution of human smiles across the face.” Hassan Ugail and Ahmad Al-dahoud say.The researchers suggest their work could improve a computers ability to analyze facial expressions and thus to interact more smoothly with humans. But their real accomplishment is in proving Tyra Banks right: "You have to smile with your eyes."32. Whats the purpose of the program?A. To tell different smiles. B. To detect human heads.C. To examine human faces. D. To record facial expressions.33. What did the researchers do in the program?A. They performed posed smiles. B. They analyzed different video clips.C. They improved a computers ability. D. They evaluated a very special software.34. What result have the researchers found from the program?A. Smiling with eyes is the most important.B. Eyes reflect whether a smile is real or not.C. Mouth,cheeks and eyes always move the same.D. Muscles move more frequently when people do a faking smile,35. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Entertainment. B. Health. C. Inventions. D. Science.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。Talking to strangers along your travels can change your trip into an adventure. Here are rules of thumb to serve as your guide.Dont ignore your fellow tourists. When you go to some place off the beaten path, youre likely to meet other tourists there. Find them, and ask where you would go. 36 Abandon your phone. Phones often get between you and the surroundings, ruining your chances to make contact with the people you see. 37 , take a deep breath and put it in a different pocket or cover it with tape. 38 .The easiest way to do this1 is to talk to people who are in "open roles", such as anyone in a public service job, or a taxi driver. Or ask someone seated near you; ask where the persons favorite street is; ask if theres a residential area where it would be nice to take a walk.Use a map-or none at all. 39 .However, the truth is, sometimes those small streets are nowhere to be found with a map. So ask for directions a lot. Asking for any kind of help is the key to many doors.Most Important: Ask good questions. Finding good questions means observing and noticing. A well-turned question shows that you are really paying attentions you are curious and ready to listen. 40 .A. Let strangers make your plansB. Maps can be of great assistanceC. When the unwillingness gets in the wayD. A good question will get you everywhereE. They are going to offer advice made of goldF. Those fellow tourists can make sense of your journeyG.
