17、BI remember doing the household chores to help my mother when I was nine. I hated changing the vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器) bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up. Twenty years later, in 1978, with this lifelong dislike of the way the machine worked, I decided to make a bagless one.Easier s

18、aid than done, of course. I didnt realize that I would spend the next five years perfecting my design, a process that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes (样机). By the time I made my 15th prototype, my third child was born. By 2,627, my wife and I were really counting our pennies. By 3,727, my wif

19、e was giving art lessons for some extra cash, and we were getting further and further into debt. These were tough times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements for my technology. The reality was very different, howev

20、er. The major vacuum makers had built a business model based on the profits from bags and filters (滤网). No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business. But soon after, the companies that I had talked with started making machines like mine. I had to fi

21、ght legal battles on both sides of the Atlantic to protect the patents on my vacuum cleaner. I was still in financial difficulties until 1993, when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me $1 million. Then I was able to go into production. Within two years, the Dyson vacuum cleane

22、r became a best-seller in Britain.Today, I still embrace risk and the potential for failure as part of the process. Nothing beats the excitement of invention,24What drove the author to make a bagless vacuum cleaner?AHis willingness to help mom.BHis curiosity about machines.CHis trouble in doing fami

25、rds.DA good beginning makes a good ending.CStudent loan (贷款) debt has become a worldwide problem. In America, the country's overall student debt reached a record of $1.6 trillion in 2019. The average person with student loan debt owed between $20,000 and $25,000. A recent Japanese government rep

26、ort says it has been lending over $9 billion yearly to students since 2010. Similar conditions exist in Africa and South America.Several factors account for high student loan debt. One is that employers everywhere have increased their demands for skilled workers, making higher education a requiremen

27、t for many jobs. The students, however, after graduation, often find that their country's economy is not strong enough to support their financial needs, so their ability to pay back the loan becomes a problem.To solve the problem, many countries are seeking their ways. Australia has developed a

28、system where students do not have to pay anything back until they are earning at least $40,000 a year. In America, several candidates running for president in the 2020 election have offered more extreme solutions that all or at least some of these loans will be forgiven.Some professors in several un

29、iversities recently studied what the effects of debt forgiveness might be. They found that, overall, sudden debt relief greatly improved the borrowers' lives. Not only did they have more money, but they were more likely to move to a new area and seek better paying work.Yet the professors' re

30、search doesn't include what might happen to financial institutions or the overall economy if debt were totally forgiven. It only looks at how debt forgiveness would help the borrowers. They warn of some other possible negative effects. If a borrower knew that if he ran into any trouble he would

31、be saved because he could get the debt relief, then he might actually become more reckless (轻率的) with his borrowing in the future.No matter what, the professors agree that if countries do decide to approve some student debt relief the neediest students should be helped first.28How does the author in

32、troduce the problem of student loan?ABy making a comparison.BBy making classifications.CBy presenting some statistics.DBy setting down general rules.29What can we learn about student loan debt relief?AIt will surely provide some benefits to borrowers.BIt has already been carried out in the United St

33、ates.CIt aims to encourage more students to borrow money.DIt will prevent a person from landing a well-paying job.30What is the professors' attitude to debt forgiveness?AUncaring.BPositive.CDisapproving.DCautious.31What's the main idea of the text?AStudent loan debt is the most serious probl

34、em worldwide.BGrowing global student debt fuels search for solutions.CStudent loan debt tends to pull the needy out of trouble.DPeople hold different opinions on debt forgiveness.DOne of the most dangerous insects you need to watch out for during summer is mosquitoes. But no matter how you try to av

35、oid them, some people naturally attract mosquitoes more than others.One of the most important facts to remember is that mosquitoes track people down by smell and body odour(气味), according to Bart Knols, PhD, a biologist devoted to the study of mosquitoes. The carbon dioxide people breathe out, along

36、 with chemicals from the skin, creates an “odour plume” that mosquitoes can detect from up to almost 100 feet away. “Each person gives off more than 300 chemicals from the skin, more than 100 in breathing out,” Knols says.The specific mixtures on the skin that mosquitoes respond to vary by species.

37、The yellow fever mosquito and Asian tiger mosquito, for example, respond well to lactic acid from skin. African malaria mosquitoes respond to a mix of fatty acids, according to Knols. Your individual mixtures and smells determine how much of a mosquito attraction you are, depending on the mosquito s

38、pecies. The mix of chemicals you produce are only partly in your control. These chemicals depend on your genetic make-up, health condition, diet, skin pH, and so on. “Bacteria(细菌)on the skin break down the mixtures that we give off through our pores(毛孔), and these are the attractive smells,” Knols s

39、ays. “So it is not actually we that attract mosquitoes, but the bacteria on our skin.”Although this is a complex and partly understood phenomenon, Knols says that we do all have a unique smell. There are many folk stories about why some people are more or less attractive to mosquitoes. Some people f

40、alsely think the blood type is the cause, and others believe taking vitamin B or eating garlic makes people less attractive to mosquitoesbut Knols notes theres no scientific data backing these claims.32What do we learn from the second paragraph?AMosquitoes can detect people with smell.BNobody can av

41、oid mosquitoes anyway.CA person breathes out over 300 chemicals.DPeople naturally attract mosquitoes.33Why does the author take several kinds of mosquitoes for example?ATo persuade readers to protect the environment.BTo warn people against touching mosquitoes.CTo show different mosquitoes react to m

42、ixtures.DTo make people look out for poisonous mosquitoes.34What draws mosquitoes according to Bart Knols?AChemicals in the mouth.BMixtures people give off.CSmells from the pores.DBacteria on the skin.35What is the best title for the text?AThe Scientific Reason You Are a Mosquito AttractionBFolk Sto

If you set an a

44、larm on your phone or clock that sounds like this: beep beep beep? 36 Sleep inertia is another term for grogginess(昏睡), which means a person has a heavy feeling when waking up, and has trouble getting moving again after sleeping, 37 A recent study says yes. The answer is music. Researchers say alarm

45、s that have a melodylike the beginning of this songcan help people feel fresher in the morning.The study, carried out by researchers in Australia, involved 50 people. The study subjects answered questions about the alarm sound they like to wake up to, how they feel about that sound and how they feel

46、 when they wake up. 38 However, it is early days and more work is needed to fully know the answer.So, what makes musical alarms better for waking up? The researchers think the music may be more successful in reducing grogginess because it has several tones, compared to the single tone of a "bee

47、ping" alarm. 39 And is there a kind of music that is best to wake up to? There may be 40 However, no matter how you wake up, experts say, the amount of sleep you get also matters a lot.ACan musical alarms work wonders？BSo, is there a better way to do the trick？CThis can help you fall asleep more quickly and easily.DAlar
