11、le get annoyed when they are on computers.They may contain computer viruses.Just as we would blame the inventor,the man humbly accepted his inventionwasnt one of the best.In his essay,Zuckerman wrote about the most hateful thing,“I wrote the code to launch thewindow and run an ad in it.”The emoticon

12、(表情符号表情符号),by Scott E.FahlmanEmoticons began to occupy screens crazily in 2011 and gained great popularity,especially with young men.Ithad been four years since Fahlman first used a“smiley face”in a computer message.He created the emoticon as ajoke marker.But things are different.“It has gone to pla

13、ces I dont approve of,”he complained to The Wall StreetJournal in 2013.“It shouldnt have been created.”The office cubicle(隔间隔间),by Bob PropstIn 1968,Bob Propst came up with the idea of office cubicles,something that“would build a futuristic and tidyoffice style with no real walls or doors and provid

14、e a more comfortable environment”.But the man has come to hatewhat he has invented,as Propst recalled to Fortune at age 80,“Theyve changed and just become cubicles”.The K-Cup,by John SylvanIt seems everyone has a Keurig coffee maker for K-Cups.John Sylvan invented the K-Cup,aimed at facilitatingoffi

15、ce life of white-collar workers.Now its common in houses and companies.However,the single-serve plasticcoffee cups arent eco-friendly.“I feel bad sometimes that I ever did it”,Sylvan admits.But!Good news for Mr.Sylvan:Keurig now offers varieties of recyclable K-Cups.21.When was the emoticon invented

17、r with young people.D.Their creators are blamed by the public.BBefore my daughter,Evelyn,was born,I eagerly expected her first year of life.I imagined celebrating everymilestonebonding with her as a newborn,seeing her smile for the first time,hearing her say her first word.I didntthink of feeding tu

18、bes,long hospital stays or an organ transplant(移植).For Evelyn,the first year included all andmore.Evelyn came into this world at just 34 weeks,weighing less than 3 pounds.Genetic testing revealed she hadAlagille syndrome,a genetic disorder that can damage the liver,heart and other organs.Soon,we rec

19、eived the newsthat baby Evelyn needed a liver transplant.Our family moved nearer to UPMC Childrens Hospital of Pittsburgh sothat we were closer if a liver was available for Evelyn.When Evelyn was added to the organ donation wait list,it was under the liver allocation(分配)policy in place atthat time,w

20、hich was map-based.This policy lacks any special consideration for transplant candidates.We were told itwould likely take three months.Just then,a new policy for liver allocation was tried out.Under the new system,thesickest child patients get first priority.The new policy was only in effect for a l

21、ittle over a week.But in that period,Evelyn received her liver transplant.Had it been just one week earlier or later,we would not have received the call.As Evelyn recovers from her transplant,we are grateful for the change.I am also sad,because the new policywas short-lived.That means another mom li

22、ke me might not receive that phone call with good news.Other children should have the same opportunity as Evelyn to live healthy,happy lives.When it comes to livertransplant policy,we can and must do better for children.24.What probably happened to Evelyn shortly after she was born?A.She failed to g

25、en are the most important.D.Kids should have chances of a liver transplant.CNapping(小睡)may be part of life for most of us.However,some countries where daytime naps have long beenpart of the culture,such as Spain,now discourage the habit.Meanwhile,some companies in the US now promotenapping as a way

26、to boost productivity.“Its important to try to reveal the biological pathways that contribute to thereason why we nap,”says Dashti from Harvard Medical School.Previously,co-senior author Richa Sexena at Massachusetts General Hospital(MGH)and his colleagues usedmany databases of genetic and lifestyle

27、 information to study other aspects of sleep.To gain a better understanding ofthe genetics of napping,they performed a genome(基因组)-wide association study(GWAS),which involves rapidscanning of complete sets of DNAof a large number of people.For this study,the researchers used data from the UK Biobank

28、,which includes genetic information from 452,633people.All the participants were asked to classify their naps during the day as“never/rarely”,“sometimes”or“usually”.The GWAS identified 123 regions in the human genome connected with daytime napping.Then theparticipants wore activity monitors called a

29、ccelerometers,which can provide data about daytime napping.This dataalso showed that the self-reports about napping were accurate.Several other features of this study bolster(巩固)its results.For example,the researchers obtained similarfindings in an analysis of the genomes of 541,333 people collected

30、 by 23andMe,a consumer genetic-testing company.Also,a significant number of the genes near or at regions identified by the GWAS are already known to play a role insleep.The team also identified at least three potential mechanisms(机制)that promote napping.Some people needmore shut-eye than others.A da

31、ytime nap can help make up for poor-quality sleep the night before.People who riseearly may“catch up”on sleep with a nap.“This tells us that daytime napping is biologically driven and not just anenvironmental or behavioral choice,”says Dashti.Some of these mechanisms are linked to health concerns,su

32、ch as alarge waistline and increased blood pressure,though more research on those associations is needed.28.What did the researchers at MGH focus on in their new study?A.The causes of long napping time.B.The benefits of napping frequently.C.The genes contributing to poor sleeping quality.D.The reaso

33、ns behind the napping habit.29.Why did the researchers use the activity monitors?A.To study the database more efficiently.B.To find the cause of genetic variation.C.To guarantee the accuracy of the self-reports.D.To explore how the participants feel after the naps.30.What can we know from the text?A

34、.American companies encourage napping to make people feel at ease.B.The subjects of the GWAS come from 123 regions.C.It is easier to have a nap by shutting eyes.D.Napping has something to do with ones biological factors.31.According to Dashti,what will the researchers study next?A.The ways to help p

35、eople sleep better.B.The connection between some health problems and the three mechanisms.C.The impact of environment on peoples napping choice.D.The causes of and solutions to some health concerns.DWhat may well be the oldest metal coins in the world have been identified at an ancient abandoned cit

36、y known asGuanzhuang in China.Like many Bronze Age(青铜时代)coins from the region,they were cast in the shape ofspades(铲)with finely carved handles.These ancient coins existed during an in-between period between barter(以物易物)and money,when coins were a novel concept,but everybody knew that agricultural t

37、ools were valuable.Reading about this incredible discovery,I kept thinking about the way modern people represent computernetworks by describing machines as having“addresses”,like a house.We also talk about one computer using a“port”to send information to another computer,as if the data were a floati

38、ng boat with destination.Its as if we are in theBronze Age of information technology,grasping desperately for real-world reference to transform our civilization.Now consider what happened to spade coins.Over centuries.metalworkers made these coins into more abstractshapes.Some became almost human fi

39、gures.Others handles were reduced to small half-circles.As spade coins grewmore abstract.people carved them with number values and the locations where they were made.They became morelike modern coins,flat and covered in writing.Looking at one of these later pieces,you would have no idea that theywer

40、e once intended to look like a spade.This makes me wonder if we will develop an entirely new set of symbols that allow us to interact with our digitalinformation more smoothly.Taking spade coins as our guide,we can guess that far-future computer networks will no longer contain anyrecognizable refere

41、nces to houses.But they still might bring some of the ideas we associate with home to our mind.Infact,computer networksif they still exist at allare likely to be almost the indispensable part of our houses andcities,their sensors inset(嵌入)with walls and roads.Our network addresses might actually be

42、the same as our streetaddresses.If climate change leads to floods,our mobile devices might look more like boats than phones,assisting usto land.My point is that the metaphors(比喻)of the information age arent random.Mobile devices do offer us comfortafter a long day at work.In some sense,our desire to

43、 settle on the shores of data lakes could change the way weunderstand home,as well as how we build computers.So as we cast our minds forward,we have to think about whatnew abstractions will go along with our information technology.Perhaps the one thing we count on is that humanswill still appreciate

44、 the comforts of home.32.Why were many Bronze Age coins made into the shape of a spade?A.These coins also served as agricultural tools.B.This stylish design made the coins valuable.C.Alot of emphasis was put on agriculture.D.The handles made the coins easily exchanged.33.Why does the author relate c

45、omputers to spade coins?A.To show they both used to be new concepts when first invented.B.To highlight their same importance in our civilizational transformation.C.To suggest computers will experience dramatic changes as coins did.D.To explain abstract digital worlds are different from concrete coin

48、Space song said,the females of these species are more deadly than the males,being the onesthat seek out animal blood as extra nutrition for their eggs.Mosquitoes are more secret attacker,biting us veryprecisely with their needle-sharp mouth.Horseflies have a particularly cruel bite using their jaws

49、to bite into our skinlike a carving knife until they break a blood vessel(血管).38“Insects have a special and specific relationship with heat,”says Vicki Sims from Lady Bug Pest Control.“The rise in temperature sees insects grow faster.39”So,what does this mean for the state of our skin?Longand warm L

50、ondon summers mean we may see more of the insects we expect,but some new ones we dont.40.Usually arriving with international shipments(运输),traditionally“insect species brought over would dieout relatively quickly because of our cold weather,”says Natalie Bungay from the British Pest Control Associat
