While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri(MU) researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient."To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density", said Jae Kwon,assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. "The radioisotope (放射性同位素)battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries."Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro / nanoelectromechanical systems (M/NEMS). Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe."People hear the word 'nuclear' and think of something very dangerous," he said, "However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems."His new idea is not only in the battery's size, but also in its semiconductor(半导体). Kwon's battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor."The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure (晶体构造) of the solid semiconductor," Kwon said, "By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem."Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the battery's power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that the battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.31. Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon?A. He teaches chemistry at MU.B. He developed a chemical battery.C. He is working on a nuclear energy source.D. He made a breakthrough in computer engineering.32. Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4_________.A. to show chemical batteries are widely applied.B. to indicate nuclear batteries can be safely used.C. to describe a nuclear-powered system.D. to introduce various energy sources.33. Liquid semiconductor is used to _________.A. get rid of the radioactive wasteB. test the power of nuclear batteries.C. decrease the size of nuclear batteriesD. reduce the damage to lattice structure.34. According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery _______.A. uses a solid semiconductorB. will soon replace the present ones.C. could be extremely thinD. has passed the final test.35. The text is most probably a ________.A. science news reportB. book reviewC. newspaper adD. science fiction story第二节〔共5小题，每题2分，总分值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正确选项。

Their achievements are reflected in the nation's best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering depart ments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their educations abroad arrived in the US with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also inflttenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feels there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineeringthan with an arts degree.Most Asian-Americans owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take all advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Manyresearchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that needs success, such as ideas that stress family values and emphasize education.Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fear that they feed a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Philippine immigrants were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.16. While making tremendous achievements at college, Asian- American studentsA. feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English.B. are afraid that their academic success bear a strong Asian character.C. still worry about unfair treatment in society.D. generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents.17. What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian-Americans?A. solid foundation-in basic mathematics and Asian culture.B. Hard work and intelligence.C. Hard work and a limited knowledge of English.D. Asian culture and the American educational system.18. Few Asian-American students major in human science mainly becauseA. their English is not good enoughB. they are afraid they might meet with unfair judge in these areasC. there is a wide difference between Asian and Western culturesD. they know little about American culture and society19. Why do the two "explanations" (Para. 3, Line. 1) worry Asian Americans?A. They are afraid that they would again be isolated from American society in general.B. People would think that Asian students rely on their parents for success.C. Asian-Americans would be a threatto other minorities.D. American academic achievements have taken on too strong an Asian character,20.

We had 13 to meet at the restaurant at seven o’clock. I felt a little uneasy, but to my 14, I had a good excuse: A business meeting had 15 and I’d wasted no time getting to the dinner.When I arrived at the 16, I apologized and told Eleanor I didn’t mean to be late. She screamed, “You never mean to.” Well, I 17 tell she was angry. “I’m sorry but it was not 18,” I said.

A. showing B. satisfying C. understanding D. destroyingReading Comprehension (16 points)AA new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops.Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度). But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency (趋势) to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professor said.In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or a pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many as notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researchers’ report said, “While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears.”In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.33. More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can ________.A. write more notesB. digest concepts betterC. get higher scoresD. understand lectures better34. While taking notes, laptop users tend to be ________.A. skillfulB. mindlessC. thoughtfulD. tireless35. The author of the passage aims to ________.A. examine the importance of long-term memoryB. stress the benefit of taking notes by handC. explain the process of taking notesD. promote the use of laptops36. The passage is likely to appear in ________.A. a newspaper advertisementB. a computer textbookC. a science magazineD. a finance reportBWould it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation? UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex(复杂的) than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition（营养）“depending on who needs it”. Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌) networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all. Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the network on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest. “We didn’t take any notice of it,” Simard says sadly. “Dying trees move nutr ition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.37. The underlined sentence “the opposite is true” in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees _________.A. compete for survivalB. protect their own wealthC. depend on each otherD. provide support for dying trees38. “Mother trees” are extremely important because they _________.A. look the largest in size in the forestB. pass on nutrition to young treesC. seem more likely to be cut down by humansD. know more about the complex “tree societies”39. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers t o ________.A. how “tree societies” workB. how trees grow oldC. how forestry industry developsD. how young trees survive40. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB. Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC. Trees Are More Admirable Than You ThinkD. Trees Contribute To Our SocietySentence Completion (22 points)41. Happiness is an active state of mind ____________________________ one’s life meaningful, satisfactory and comfortable. (think)幸福是一种积极的思想状态，在此状态下人们认为自己的生活有意义、满足并舒适。

Having taught in the US for 17 years, I had no 36 about my ability to hold their attention and to 37 on them my admiration for the literature（文学）of my mother tongue.I was shocked when the monitor shouted, “38 !” and the entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat 39 about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness（尴尬）was over, I quickly 40 my calmness and began what I thought was a fact – packed lecture, sure to gain their respect – perhaps 41 their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which comes from a (n) 42 of achievements.My students 43 diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually 44 by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today.45 her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a 46 subject. “Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework（哲学体系）of Western thought and laid the historical 47 for all the works we’ll study in class,” I complained. “How 48 they say I didn’t teach them anything?”It was a long term, and it 49 became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as 50 of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise 51 questions and provide enough background so that students could 52 their own conclusions.

The method is used by some farmers in the west African country of Mail. An agricultural expert in Mali reported about the Mail mouse trap in A News Letter published by the group Educational Concern for Hunger Development. That is a private organization in the United States. The expert reported that his gardener caught 150 mice in just one night. The gardener used four traps. The trap is easy to make. First, remove the top from a 20 litre ceramic (陶瓷的) or plastic container. Put it in a hole in the ground. The top edge of the container should be the level with the surface of the ground. Fill the container with water to within eight centimeters of the top. Add tiny pieces of grain wastes. They should float on the water. Also put some wastes on the ground near the trap. During the night mice will come out to eat the grain wastes. They will fall into the container and drowned. If you do not have an empty container, dig a hole in the ground instead. The hole should be about 40 centimetres wide and 30 centimetres deep. Spread hard clay or concrete on the walls of the hole. This will prevent the water from leaking away. If you don't have enough grain wastes to float on the water, stretch two pieces of cloth over the top of the container or hole. Leave a small opening in the center of the trap where the cloths meet. Put a little grain on the cloths. When mice walk onto the cloths to eat, they will slide through the opening and drown in the water. Replace the food in the trap every night.56. Which is a must to make a container into a mouse trap?A. It must be big enough to hold 20 litre water.B. It must be covered with something.C. It must be open at one end.D. The water in it should be level with the ground.57. This text is mainly about .A. how to make a mouse trap,B. a report made by an agricultural expertC. how to kill mice without spending a lot of moneyD. a method to kill mice58. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the passage?A. There must be a hole in the center of the cloth.B. There must be space between the cloth and the hole or container.C. One piece of cloth must meet the other in the center of the trap.D. There must be some space between the two pieces of cloth over the hole or container.59. Which of the following shows the correct mouse trap?A. The trap is difficult to make but very effective.B. The trap must be full of water with grain wastes.C. The trap will cost you a lot of money.D. The trap is an empty container put in a hole in the ground with water in it.BBEIJING，Nov．25，2005（Reuters）—C hina’s home-grown human bird flu vaccine is at least a year away from hitting the market but tests on humans have been approved (批准) by the government，head of the research drug company said on Friday．Development of the vaccine started last year after bird flu outbreaks in Thailand and Vietnam and animal trials have already been completed，said Yin Wei-dong，managing director of Sinovac Biotech．“It is not a virus that is spreading from human to human，so we are very optimistic，” Yin t old Reuters in an interview．The deadly H5N1 made its first known jump to humans in Hong Kong in 1997，killing six people．The virus appeared again in late 2003 and is known to have infected 130 people in several parts of Asia，killing 68 of them．“It is no t decided yet when the human trials will begin．We just got approval on November 22 by the State Food and Drug Administration，” Yin said．Oregon，Nov．26,2005（AP）—The deadly strain of bird flu that appeared in Asia and has already spread to other parts of the world has not affected the Oregon poultry (家禽) industry or consumers，according to Oregon State University researchers．There are many strains of bird flu that do not usually infect humans．But one strain，called H5N1，has jumped from chickens to humans and is blamed for more than 60 deaths in Asia．International disease control experts are worried about a worldwide outbreak of bird flu，raising concerns such as whether it is safe to eat poultry．But Oregon State University researchers say there is no proof that the virus can jump to humans by eating cooked poultry products．“Consumers needn’t be overly concerned about bird flu，” said Jim Hermes，OSU Extension Service poultry specialist．But he urged consumers to follow standard food safety practices in preparing poultry—including washing hands while preparing food，and proper cooking of poultry meat and eggs．He noted that a 2003 outbreak of bird virus caused much damage to commercial poultry operations in California but did not get into Oregon because of industry safeguards．60. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the first news report?A. Human trials have already started but not yet successful．B. Bird flu killed 68 Asian people in its second outbreak．C. The bird flu virus is not one that spreads from human to human．D. The government has agreed to have the vaccine tried on humans．61.

People in Oregon are not concerned about bird flu.C. People will develop bird flu even if they eat well-cooked poultry products.D. H5N1 has caused more than 60 deaths worldwide.CThe human body is a living machine, and like all machines, it needs "fuel" to supply it with energy. This is provided by the food we eat. But how much do we need to stay healthy?The energy value of food is usually measured in calories. A calorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 10C . The number of calories people need per day is different, as the chat below shows. Also, the number of calories" you use at any moment normally depends on the activity you are in. For example, you need more calories for standing than for sitting, more for running than for walking, and so onThe energy in food is mainly in the form of three kinds of chemical materials-carbohydrate, protein and fat. Carbohydrate provides 3.8 Cal/gm (calories per gram)of energy, protein 4.0 Cal/gm, and fat 8.8 Cal/gm Each food contains different amounts of these materials, as the second chart shows.64. calories are required to raise the temperature of 5kg of water form 350C to 900C ?A. 55B.175C.325D.27565.If you lack for calories to support your running activities you’d better take more .A. milkB. peanutsC. riceD. milk and rice66.we may learn form the charts that .A. a child aged 8 requires more then 3 times the amount of calories that a baby doesB. a boy aged 16 requires nearly twice the amount of calories that a boy aged 8 doesC. a mother with a baby to feed uses up more calories than a hard-working farmer each dayD. an old man needs less calories than an 8-year-old boy on account of his less movement67.Which statement agrees with the passage and the charts above?A You need more calories for swimming than for mountain climbing.B. Food contains energy in the form of carbohydrates proteins and fuelC. Different people need different amounts of energy depending on their age, sex, and the activitiesthey are in.D. 3 grams of milk provides 16.6 calories because carbohydrate provides 3.8 Cal/gm, protein 4.0Cal/gm, and fat 8.8 Cal/gm.DLiving and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days，but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher．If I have learned anything in my 16 years，it is that communication is very important，both when you disagree and when you get along．With any relationship，you need to let the other person know how you are feeling．If you are not able to communicate，your relationship drifts apart．When you are mad at your parents or anyone else，not talking to them doesn’t solve anything．Communication begins with the concerns of another．It means that you can’t just come home from school，go up to your room and talk to nobody．Even if you just say “Hi” and see how their day is for five minutes，it is better than nothing．If you look up the word “communication” in the dictionary，it will say “the exchange of ideas，conveyance (传递) of information，correspondence (通信)，means of communication；a letter or message”．To keep a good relationship，you must keep the communication strong．Let people know how you feel，even if it’s just by writing a note．When dealing with parents，you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as parents．If you are trying to make them see something as you see it，tell them that you listen to what they have to say，but ask them politely to listen to you．Shouting or walking away only makes the situation worse．Here is an example．One night，Sophie went to a street party with her friends．She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks．but they didn’t feel she could just ask to go home．That would be rude．After all，they had been nice enough to take her along with them．Needless to say，she was late getting home．Her parents were mad at first，but when Sophie explained why she was late，they weren’tas mad and let the incident go．Communication was the key factor here．If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen，Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble．Communication isn’t a one-way deal．It goes both ways．Just remember：if you get into a situation like Sophie’s，telling the other person how you feel and listening are key factors to communication．68. The second paragraph mainly talks about ________．A. the importance of friendshipB. making your feelings known to othersC. the importance of communicationD. the disagreement between generations69. The key to happy relationship between parents and children is that _______．A. children should always obey their parentsB. parents play the leading partC. parents should mind their own businessD. both should make the other know their feelings70. The example in the passage proves that ________．A. Sophie’s parents were willing to listen to herB. Sophie was very polite to her parentsC. Sophie did the right thing when she explained the reason of her being lateD. communication is the key to solving misunderstanding71. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT ________．A. if you don’t agree with others，you’d better let them knowB. it is better to say “Hi” to others than to say nothingC. if you are too busy to communicate，just walk awayD. communication is a two-way dealEA picture, a calendar or even a balloon may be the best way for millions of people living in China's vast country areas to learn about AIDS, one of the biggest threats to public health in the world today.China has decided to use user-friendly methods including exhibitions, VCDs and TV programmes to spread knowledge of the disease across the nation to try to keep it in check. Educating people nationwide about AIDS is the top priority (优先权) to prevent the disease from getting out of hand. The farmers will be given knowledge in the easiest way that they can understand.A recent survey from the commission (调查团) of more than 7,000 people in China showed that nearly 20 percent of them had never heard of AIDS before. Just over 71 percent said they knew AIDS was highly infectious (传染的), but most of them had no clear idea of how the disease could be spread. Just over 62 percent said they knew they could do things in advance to prevent them catching AIDS but they didn't know what these measures were.The month-long survey, carried out last December, talked to people in seven counties and cities across China including both developed coastal areas and the less-developed inland areas. The interviewees changed from 15 to 49 years old, and country residents were about 63% of the total surveyed.Chinese residents, especially those in the country, have very little knowledge about what AIDS is all about, not to mention prevention and treatment. By the end of last year, there were 22,517 known HIV/AIIS cases in China. However, more than 6,000,000 people in China have been infected.Since 1985, China has discovered 880 patients with AIDS --- 466 of them have died. Sharing needles, prostitution (卖淫) and contaminated blood transfusions are major ways for HIV to spread. A lack of education has been the biggest difficulty against nationwide efforts to prevent AIDS, especially in the countryside.72. The author's purpose in writing the passage is to .A. show his concern about the health of peopleB. make people know about AIDSC. call on people to fight against AIDSD. tell us people are short of the knowledge of AIDS73. The greatest difficulty against the nationwide effort to prevent AIDS lies in .A. misunderstanding of peopleB. the shortage of moneyC. its infectionD. lack of education74. "Since 1985, China has discovered 880 patients with AIDS --- 466 of them had died". Do you knowwhy?A. Because their families refused to cure them.B. Because they had been in low spirits for a long time.C. Because there weren't enough effective measures to treat AIDS.D. Because they couldn't lead a normal life like other healthy people.75. It is judged that there are people hit by AIDS in China at present.A. 22,527B. over 6,000,000C. 880D. over 7,000第四部分写作（共两节，满分45分）第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）There are more than 1,500 daily newspapers in the US. Each one is sold only in one part of the country, e.g. in a city, but they cover national and international news.

AShe is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum where it is housed.“The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said. Visitors have noticed the changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current (现在的) chemical state.Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It’s because direct vision (视觉)is excellent at picking up details, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to the king of France, Francis I, in 1519.In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later. During World War II, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.21. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means the Mona Lisa .A. is losing its valueB. is being damaged after so many yearsC. is getting more valuable with years passingD. will rot away22. Choose the right order about the happenings onto the Mona Lisa.a. It was stolen from the Louvre.b. Its painter sold it to King Francis I.c. Its state of health was checked.d. It was returned to France and housed in the Louvre Museum.e. It was hidden and protected against German forces.A. b-a-d-e-cB. d-e-c-b-aC. d-a-e-c-bD. b-c-a-d-e23. What makes her smile so mysterious according to Professor Livingstone?A. The materials the Italian artist used.B. The way she smiles.C. The way da Vinci painted the smile.D. It plays a trick upon the human eye.BTo us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C..We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and power. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella most disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it became a symbol of power.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.24. Ancient people first used umbrellas as ______.A. a symbol of honorB. a symbol of powerC. protection against the sunD. protection against the rain25. According to the passage, the umbrella was probably first used in accident__________.A. BabylonB. ChinaC. EgyptD. Rome26. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. The ancient Greeks used the umbrella in their daily lifeB. Europeans hardly used the umbrella during the middle agesC. The umbrellas for woman were made colorful in ancient timesD. The style of the umbrella hasn’t changed a lot since it was invented27. What is the passage mainly about?A. The sales of the umbrellaB. The history and the use of the umbrellaC. The invention of the umbrellaD. The differences among umbrellasCWe all know the hard work that filmmakers and actors put in to provide us with entertainment, but it seems that even regular moviegoers like us have a big impact on how a movie turns out too. For decades now, film studios have used so-called test screenings (试映) to get feedback from members of the public before a movie comes out.While test audience members are usually asked to fill in a questionnaire after a screening, telling the film studio what they liked and didn’t like, media giant Disney has come up with a more high-tech solution.According to a paper published this summer b y the company’s researchers, Disney is measuring test audiences’ reactions (反应) by using special cameras placed inside cinemas. Pairing the cameras with custom (定制的) software, the company can track what each audience member is feeling at any point in the movie, from anger to joy. This works by mapping 68 different points on each audience member’s face. The cameras can see in the dark, and the software can figure out a person’s mood based on the slightest of facial expressions.It is hoped that this new method will allow more detailed feedback from test audiences. Rather than relying on audience members to recall their feelings after the movie’s over, it can accurately read their reactions in real-time.Test screenings are highly valued in the movie industry, and several well- known movies have been greatly altered following feedback. Viewers of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) would have left the cinema feeling a whole lot differently if it weren’t for its test audience’s feedback.“In one cut of the film that was tested, E.T. died instead of going home in his spaceship. You won’t be surprised to hear that the test audience in question didn’t warm to this ending at all,” wrote media website Den of Geek.But for those of us who are concerned about privacy, the cameras won’t be installed in public cinemas. After all, unless you’re part of a test audience, being in front of the cam era is best left to the movie stars. 28. What is the main advantage that the cameras have over questionnaires?A. They protect the au dience’s privacy better.B. They allow the audience to recall their feelings more easily.C. They are able to record the audience’s mood accurately on the spot.D.

Eating with a fork instead of a spoon can help you lose weight, the researchers say. Much to their surprise, they find that putting mirrors in the dining room will also help reduce weight.The researchers asked 185 college students to choose a chocolate cake or a fruit salad, and evaluated the taste. Those who ate in a room with a mirror scored the taste of junk food much lower than those in a room without a mirror. But the taste of fruit salad remained the same in any case.Lead scientist, Dr. Ata Jami, says that a glance in the mirror tells people more than just about their physical appearance. It enables them to view themselves objectively (客观地) and helps them to judge themselves and their behavior in the same way that they judge other people.The mirrors were found to push people to compare and match their own behavior with accepted social s tandards. The researchers believe it proves that people don’t want to look in the mirror when they feel theyare following the social standards. When they look in the mirror with mouths full of junk food, feelings of discomfort and failure can be increased. Therefore, the presence of the mirror lowers the taste of unhealthy food.However, researchers say this is only the case if people select the food they are eating, because they are responsible for that choice. The researchers suggest that mirrors be placed in dining rooms and other eating spaces, so that people will start eating more healthily.32.
