We can express thoughts and feelings and send sounds and pictures on our smartphones today. We can’t send tastes, smells or touch. But some scientists in Britain are trying to develop a way for smartphones to do that.
To give users a sense of taste, Adrian David Cheok and some other scientists designed two electrodes (电极片). “You put these two electrodes in your mouth, you put your tongue in between and then your tongue will get a virtual taste perception (虚拟味觉) in your brain,” said Professor Cheok. They have already created sour, salty, sweet and bitter tastes.
A device called “Scentee” makes users have the sense of smell. Scientists put a Scentee into a smartphone, and it can spray (喷射) small clouds of fragrance, including flowers, fruits and coffee. Professor Cheok says the person speaking can activate (激活) the device. Scentee holds a container with about 100 different smells. The container must be replaced when all the smells run out.
The sense of touch comes from a ring-like device. It is connected wirelessly to the smartphone. “I can be in London and my friend can be in Tokyo, and I can squeeze my finger and then they’ll get a squeeze on their finger through the Internet. It’s a way of touch communication wit h small mobile devices,” Professor Cheok said.
Professor Cheok hopes devices like these will someday be added to houses. He says they may change the future of long-distance communication.
( )59. What does the underlined word “fragrance” mean?
A. 痛苦。

B. 香味。

C. 权利。

D. 力量。

( )60. From the third paragraph we can infer(推断) that .
A. people needn’t activate the device called Scentee
B. the container can only hold 50 different smells
C. differen t smells can be put inside Scentee
D. all the smells can be reused, so they won’t run out ( )61. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A.Future smartphones can send tastes, smells and touch.
B. The history of long-distance communication.
C. How smartphones work.
D. Smartphones make people’s communication convenient.
D
Many expressions that we use in American English come from novels. Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carroll’s famous novel “Alice in Wonderland” in de tail.
The story is about a young girl falling down a rabbit hole. When she finally lands, she finds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters.
The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit, who runs past her and says some strange words. Alice runs after him, and that is where her adventures begin.
In English, chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue and finding yourself in a misleading situation.
Then, as she runs after the rabbit, she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland.
To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a situation which makes people feel puzzled. However, usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distractions(分神). It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful.
Later in the story, Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party. Hares have long been thought to behave excitedly in March, which is their mating（交配）season. Scientifically, this may not be true. But to be mad as a March Hare means that someone is completely mad, or crazy. The expression mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy. Of the two, mad as a Hatter is more common.
Near the end of the story, Alice meets the Queen of Hearts. A woman who is called a Queen of Hearts likes controlling others and always tries to control everything and everyone around her.
( )62. Which of the following situations best fits the expression “to fall down a rabbit hole”?
A. When Jack was sitting in the study, he got bored with the homework and felt sleepy.
B. When Sue turned On the TV, she chose to watch her favourite programme as usual.
C. When Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem, she came up with a good idea.
D. When Jim was looking for a sport book online, he lost himself in reports on superstars.
( )63. According to the passage, the expression “to be mad as a March Hare” .
A. describes how hares behave in March
B. shows hares’ characteristics in a funny way
C. is used more often than the expression mad as a Hatter
D. has the same meaning as the expression mad as a Hatter
( )64. Which of the following characters wants others to obey his or her orders in every situation?
A. Alice.
B. The Queen of Hearts.
C. The Hatter.
D. The March Hare.
( )65. The writer mainly wants to ________in this passage.
A. introduce a famous novel and its language style
B. explain some English expressions from a famous novel
C. introduce a famous writer Lewis Carroll and his novels
D. explain why many expressions in English come from novels

Here are some English learning tips to help you improve your English．
Ask yourself weekly: What do I want to learn this week?
Asking yourself this question every week will help you think about what is most important to you．If you make a plan for each week, you will be surprised to notice how much you have improved your English by the end of the week! This feeling of success will encourage you to learn even more English．
Quickly review before going to bed．
Research has shown that our brains process information that is fresh in our brains while we sleep．By going over important knowledge before you go to sleep, your brain will work on this information while you sleep! Speak English aloud．
Understanding grammar rules does not mean you can speak English well．You need to practice speaking aloud．Speaking by yourself at home and reading the exercises that you are doing will help connect the muscles of your face to the information in your head and make your pronunciation better．
Do five to ten minutes of listening at least four times a week．
If you decide that you are going to work hard and listen for two hours, maybe you will not do extra listening exercises soon．But if you listen five to ten minutes at least four times a week, you will find it’s easy to develop the habit of listening to English．
Look for situations to practice your English．
Learning English in a classroom is important, but using English in real situations will improve your English skills greatly．You can create new situations by using the Internet to listen to news, exchange emails in English
with email friends, etc．
