have found that there are 21 square kilometers of useless grass.The grass is never laid on,played on oreven stepped on.The grass is only there to look nice.Now,the city is asking theNevadastate legislature to ban useless grass.It is trying to become the first placeinAmericato ban that kind of grass often seen between streets,in housing developments and in office parks.It is estimated that useless grass makes up 40%of all the grass inLas Vegasand it needs a lot of water tosurvive.Grass needs four times more water than dry climate plants like cactus.By tearing out the grass,the citycould reduce yearly water usage by 15%.In 2003,the Southern Nevada Water Authority banned developers from planting grass in front of new homes.It also offered homeowners$30 for each square meter of grass they tear out.But fewer people are now using theprogram.Water usage has increased in southernNevadaby 9%since 2019.And last year,Las Vegaswent a record240 days without major rainfall.The Colorado River provides much ofNevadas drinking water.The river could losemore water as climate change affects it.Water officials in other dry cities said water usage needs to be reduced.But they fear the reaction to reformslike the ones inLas Vegasif their communities do not accept them.Cynthia Campbell is the water resources adviserfor the city ofPhoenixinArizona.“There might come a point when city restrictions get too severe for someresidents.Theyll say that is the point of no return for them,”Campbellsaid.“For some people,its a pool.For somepeople,its grass.”4.Why doesLas Vegascity try to ban

continue to do so.When we first learned basic grammar and spelling,perhaps in elementary school,we might have gotten theimpression that these things were sacred.The rules that apply to such things might have been presented asunchanging and unchangeable.While this way might be helpful for teaching children,it is far from accurate.The English language,like many others,is a living,growing,ever-evolving thing.Like it or not,you areinvolved in this change.These changes take many forms.Grammar and spelling have changed greatly over theyears and centuries,with the spelling differences in different countries today a reflection of this.While thelanguage of a thousand years ago might be called English,most of us would hardly recognize it today as the samelanguage.The first involves changes in the pronunciation of words.Many are familiar with the differences between theBritish and American ways of pronouncing certain words.In addition to these differences,the pronunciation ofmany words has changed over the years because of how you have decided to pronounce them.For example,consider the word err.The traditional pronunciation of this word rhymes with the word her.Older dictionariesshow this to be the primary or only pronunciation.However,in recent years,more and more people have beenpronouncing it so that it sounds like air.Another change in the language involves the addition and removal ofwords.The makers of dictionaries decide which words deserve to be officially adopted as part of the Englishlanguage.Through the centuries,many words have come from other languages.In fact,English has probably donethis more than any other language in the world,which is why spelling and pronunciation rules for English have somany exceptions.Of course,many slang words have been just short-lived fashions that have died out quickly.Others,though,have been adopted by mainstream society and become respectable,as have many technical terms.So thenremember,the next time you repeat the newest expression to hit the street,or make up your own words,you maybe contributing to the future of the English language.8.When we begin to learn English,we think _.A.it is interesting to pick up a new languageB.English rules are wrongly presented in factC.grammar and spelling rules are unchangeableD.only adults have the ability to affect a language9.From paragraph 3 we can know that_.A.we can change the English languageB.many languages are changing over yearsC.English has changed little in the past 1,000 yearsD.there were main changes in grammar and pronunciation10.Why is the pronunciation of words changing?A.people speak in different waysB.people have adopted foreign wordsC.it has been affected by American EnglishD.makers of dictionaries often change them11.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Foreign words involved in English.B.The British speaks differently from Americans.C.English language is changing over

plugged into(插入)smartphones,identify their users monitortheir heart rates and perform other services.Their invention,called HeadFi,is based on a small plug-in headphone adapter that turns a regular headphone intoa sensing device(装置).Unlike smart headphones,regular headphones lack sensors.HeadFi would allow users toavoid having to buy a new pairof smart headphones with sensors to enjoy sensing features.“HeadFi could turn hundreds of millions of existing,regular headphones worldwide into intelligent ones with asimple upgrade(升级),”said Xiaoran Fan,a HeadFi primary inventor.A Rutgers-led paper on the invention,which results in earable intelligence,will be formally published in Octoberat MobiCom 2021,the top international conference on mobile computing and mobile and wireless networking.Headphones are among the most popular wearable devices worldwide and they continue to become;moreintelligent as new functions appear,such as touch-based gesture control,the paper notes.Such functions usuallyrely on aiding sensors,such as accelerometers,gyroscopes and microphones that are availableon many smartheadphones.HeadFi turns the two drivers already inside all headphones into a versatile(多功能的)sensor,and it works byconnecting headphones to a pairing device,such as a smartphone.It doesnt require adding aiding sensors andavoids changes to headphone hardware or the need to customize headphones,both of which may increase theirweight and size.By plugging into HeadFi,a converted headphone can perform sensing tasks and play music at thesame time.The engineers conducted experiments with 53 volunteers using 54 pairs of headphones with prices ranging from$2.99 to$15,000.HeadFi can achieve 97.2 percent to 99.5 percent accuracy on user identification,96.8 percentto 99.2 percent on heart rate monitoring and 97.7 percent to 99.3 percent on gesture recognition.12.What does Xiaoran Fan think of HeadFi?A.Secure to operate.B.Simple to use.C.Easy to substitute.D.Convenient to store.13.What can we know about HeadFi according to the text?A.It cant work with headphones alone.B.It actually functions as a versatile sensor.C.It makes headphones larger and heavier than usual.D.It doesnt work when headphones are playing music.14.The figures are listed in the last paragraph mainly to show_.A.the various functions of HeadFiB.the wide popularity of headphonesC.the great complexity of headphonesD.the excellent performance of HeadFi15.What can be the best title for the text?A.How to Use Headphones AppropriatelyB.Headphones Can Be Upgraded InstantlyC.How to Make Regular
