AThey are the fashion statement loved by hip hop stars and rappers.But now it seems that grilles(金属网罩)—teeth jewellery loved by rappers such as Nelly—are not just about the way you look—you can use them to listen to music，too.A design student has created a way of using the jewellery mouthpiece to hear songs by means of “bone conduction” through your skull.Aisen Chacin，of Parsons The New School for Design in New York，attached a vibrating(振动)motor to a digital music player and connected it to a mold(模子)of her upper teeth.She also placed controls on the underside so users can change songs or increase the volume by pushing up with your tongue.When the music starts，the vibration is strong enough that the music can be heard clearly—without the need for headphones.If the sound being played is loud enough，others can even hear it apparently coming out of your teeth.A video posted on YouTube shows one of Chacin's friends sitting down with the motor in his mouth and his hands in his ears.He didn't believe his eyes when he heard the music.Grilles were made popular by the song by rapper Nelly even though dentists have made warnings against them.They say jewellery materials like gold or diamonds can wear down the enamel(牙釉质)on your teeth and that grilles should not be worn.Chacin showed her device，called Play-A-Grill，at the New Interfaces for Musical Expression conference last week.She said，“Grilles are almost always made of precious metal.They are completely removable，and almost used as a grill.Because the grill is worn over the teeth，sound can be spread using bone conduction hearinginstead of o utside speakers or headphones.”21．When we use the grilles，we________.A．can sing to the musicB．can change songs using tonguesC．need to attach a digital music playerD．can hear songs through the outside ears22．Grilles are different from traditional music players because''''.A．they are able to play songs and music a lot more clearlyB．they make it unnecessary for listeners to wear headphonesC．they can play the music loud without interrupting other peopleD．songs coming out of our teeth seem to be sung by ourselves23．How did one of Chacin's friends feel when he heard the music?A．He felt satisfied.B．He felt interested.C．He felt convenient.

In 1966, she left the program and began living with two scientists, Allen and Beatrix Gardner, who led a project to teach the chimp American Sign Language (ASL) in Washoe, Nevada, for which it was named. Washoe had been living on Central Washington University’s Ellensburg Campus since 1980. She had a vocabulary of about 250 words. Also, Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimps: Tatu, 31, Loulis, 29, and Dar, 31Primate (灵长类) researcher Jane Goodall, in Fouts’ book Next of Kin, noted the importance of the work with Washoe. “Roger, through his ongoing conversations with Washoe and her extended family, has opened a window into a chimpanzee’s mind,” Goodall said.Though previous efforts to teach chimps spoken languages had failed, the researchers believed there was a better chance using signs. But Washoe’s language skills were disputed by scientists who believed that language is unique to humans. Among those who doubted that chimps could use language were linguist (语言学家) Noam Chomsky and Harvard scientist Steven Pinker. They believed primates simply learn to perform certain acts in order to receive rewards, and do not acquire true language. 29．As for its first task, Washoe was involved with _______.A．some space researchB．a study on African animalsC．an ASL projectD．the program of training the Air Force30．In Goodall’s opinion, teaching Washoe ASL ______.A．was not successfulB．led to the book Next of KinC．won honor for FoutsD．made a difference31．In the last paragraph, the underlined word “disputed” probably means “______”.A．supported B. studiedC．questioned D. discussed32．What can be inferred from the passage?A．The ASL project was first set up in Africa for the study on Washoe.B．Washoe may communicate with other chimps by signing.C．Washoe must have been able to speak 250 words or so.D．The researchers will prove that most chimps could use language.DA 2-mile-wide tornado tore through the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore on Monday，killing at least 51 people including 20 children，destroying entire tracts of homes and trapping two dozen school children beneath rubble.Rescue teams raced against the setting sun and worked into the darkness in search of survivors as the dangerous storm system threatened several southern Plains states with more twisters.The Oklahoma medical examiner confirmed 51 deaths including 20 children，making it the deadliest U．S.tornado since one killed 161 people in Joplin，Missouri.Area hospitals reported at least 230 people injured，including at least 45 children.Emergency crews searched the rubble of Plaza Towers Elementary School to look for two dozen missing children，Oklahoma Lieutenant Governor Todd Lamb said.The school took a direct hit from the tornado，Lamb told CNN.Police and fire crews pulled some school children from the devastation，a KFOR television reporter said from the scene.The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center provided the town with a warning 16 minutes before the tornado touched down at 3：01 p．m.local time(4：01 p．m.EDT)，which is greater than the average eight to ten minutes of warning，said Keli Pirtle，a spokeswoman for the center in Norman，Oklahoma.The U．S.Federal Aviation Administration(FAA)imposed a temporary flightrestriction that allowed only relief aircraft in the area，saying it was at the request of local police who wanted quiet to search for buried survivors.Oklahoma activated the National Guard，and the U．S.Federal Emergency Management Agency activated teams to support recovery operations and coordinate responses for multiple agencies.Briarwood Elementary School，which also stood in the storm's path，was all but destroyed.On_the_first_floor，sections_of_walls_had_been_peeled_away，affording_clear_views_into_the_building，while in other areas，cars hurled by the storm winds were lodged in the walls.While the school was a wreck，nearby playground clear equipment stood undamaged，though littered with rubble.Across the street，people picked through the remains of their homes，looking for any possessions they might salvage.The number of injured as reported by several hospitals rose rapidly throughout the afternoon.33．From this passage we can infer that .A．this tornado is the most serious in history in the USAB．this tornado led to 20 school children deaths in OklahomaC．this tornado isn't the deadliest one in history in the USAD．this tornado hit entire tracts of homes and schools badly34．What does the author want to show us in the 6th paragraph?A．The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center didn't provide the exact time for people.B．The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center had warned people of the tornado ahead of time.C．The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center should warn people of the tornado ahead of eight to ten minutes.D．The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center had warned people of the tornado at 3：01 p．m.35．Why did the FAA impose a temporary flight restriction in Oklahoma?A．The weather there was not suitable for flight.B．The flights weren't allowed to pass over Oklahoma.C．People wanted quiet to search for buried survivors.D．The injured wanted quiet to have a good rest in hospitals.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。
