AEvery November, Time magazine picks out what it calls “The 25 Best Inventions” of the year. Here, Teens has chosen some of the most interesting ones.Ember MugIt’s hard to always keep coffee at the right temperature, especially in winter. It’s too hot to drink at first, but before we know it, it gets too cold and loses all its taste. The perfect level ofwarmth for a cup of coffee only lasts for 37 seconds, which makes the Ember Mug a great invention. It keeps your coffee or tea at a certain temperature, anywhere between 45℃and 62℃, once you set it through a smartphone app.Tasty One TopTV cooking shows make cooking look so easy, but it’s almost impossible to get the recipes to cook the same as how the professionals cook. However, the Tasty One Top DIY cooking companion is here to help. Developed by Buzzfeed, the cooker can be connected to a smartphone app, which has more than 1,700 recipes and videos. You choose a recipe and the app will let the cooker know what to do. For example, it’ll tell you when to turn your steak or when to add certain ingredients.JiboSmart speakers from companies like Amazon and Xiaomi have added a lot of fun to our lives, but they’re still just faceless speakers. However, Jibo, developed by MIT professor Cynthia Breazeal, has brought smart technology to life. Said to be “the world’s first social robot for the home”, Jibo looks like a cartoon character. Inside its “head”, there are various se nsors and cameras, which allow it to recognize faces and speech. It can also set alarms, remind you of important things, tell you the weather and read news or messages from your friends and family.21. How can Tasty One Top help people?A. By teaching people how to cook.B. By offering people different recipes.C. By saving energy while cooking.D. By offering different kinds of cooking apps.22. What can Jibo probably be?A. A cartoon character.B. A faceless robot.C. A family assistant.D. A smart alarm.23. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To advertise high-tech products.B. To introduce some new inventions.C. To encourage subscription to Time.D. To tell about some “tasty” products.BEvery year, billions of kilograms of fresh produce are wasted in the United States. Meanwhile, millions of poor Americans go hungry, without access to healthy, affordable meals.Evan Lutz is enthusiastic about correcting that social injustice. And he combines that goalwith enthusiasm for business. Lutz is CEO and founder of Hungry Harvest, a business which collects and sells “ugly ” produce. These are fruits and vegetables that most food companies would throw away. More than six billion pounds are wasted each year due to surface imperfections.“So I’ll give you an example.” Lutz says, “If you go to a grocery store you will see all the produce lineup shiny, perfect, of the same size and color. But on a farm, everything doesn’t grow the same way. So all that stuff that doesn’t grow the same way often gets thrown out. And what we do is take all that normally gets thrown out because of its odd size or shape, box it up and deliver it to our customers once a week.”For Evan Lutz, giving back to others came form his upbringing.“When I was growing up my parents taught me the values of giving back, and giving is a lot more powerful than receiving. We sell produce with a purpose and that doesn’t just mean we reduce food from going to waste. We hire people that were formerly in prison or were formerly injured or sick living in homeless shelters. They really wanted to get back on their feet for a second chance in life.”Evan Lutz is really happy to be realizing great mission that he thinks can really revolutionize the food industry in America.24. The social injustice in Paragraph 2 refers to the fact that _________.A. vegetables and fruits that don’t taste good get wasted.B. much produce gets wasted while many Americans starve.C. grocery stores only sell produce of the same size.D. poor Americans can not afford healthy food.25. What business does Hungry Harvest mainly do?A. Deliver food for free.B. Raise money for the poor.C. Collect “ugly” produce and sell it.D. Buy “ugly” produce and process it.26. Why does Evan Lutz hire those people mentioned in Paragraph 5?A. To lower labor costs.B. To increase productivity.C. To offer them a job.D. To enjoy a better reputation.27. What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Creating More Jobs for the Less Fortunate.B. Putting Healthy Food on Dinner Table.C. Making Profits from Shiny Produce.D. Giving Unused Produce a Purpose.CThe Diet Zone: A Dangerous PlaceDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We ha ve so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically（身体上）.Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale（秤）instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.28. From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________.A. diet products fail to bring out people’s potential.B. people have difficulty in choosing diet products.C. diet products are misleading people.D. people are fed up with diet products.29. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _____.A. try out a variety of diet foods.B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods.C. pay attention to their own eating habits.D. watch their weight rather than their diet.30. In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means ______.A. losing weight is effortless.B. it costs a lot to lose weight.C. diet products bring no pain.D. diet products are free from calories.31. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products ______.A. are over-consumed.B. lack basic nutrients.C. are short of chemicals.D. provide too much energy.DHow Room Designs Affect Our Work and FeelingsArchitects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical（经验的，实证的）basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused, and lead to relaxation.Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room’s ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook.In addition to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant’s ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to,according to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.Recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim（暗淡的）light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. “We have a very limited number of studies, so we’re almost looking at the problem through a straw（吸管），” architect David Allison says. “How do you take answers to very specific questions and ma ke broad, generalized use of them? That’s what we’re all struggling with.”32.What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research?A. Light.B. Ceilings.C. Window.D. Furniture.33. The passage tells us that _____.A. the shape of furnitur e may affect people’s feelings.B. lower ceilings may help improve students’ creativity.C. children in a dim classroom may improve their grades.D. students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed.34. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that _____.A. the problem is not approached step by step.B. the researches so far have faults in themselves.C. the problem is too difficult for researchers to detect.D. research in this area is not enough to make generalized patterns.35. Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?A B C DCP: Central point P: Point Sp: Sub-point（次要点）C: Conclusion第二节（共5小题; 每小题3分，共15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
