Module 3单元测试题
第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Scholastic Art: What is your job
Jayson Fann: I build human-sized nests all over the world.
SA: Can people sit in your nests
JF: Yes! People have dinner parties in my nests. They read and relax in them. Some of my nests even have several rooms. My nests are even used as hotel rooms.
SA: How do you make a nest
JF: First, I make a design for the nest. Then I review the design with my client (客户). After the design is final, I collect wood and work with a team to build it.
SA: What do you use to make your nests
JF: I use eucalyptus (桉树) wood, which is soft and easy to bend when it is young and freshly cut. But when it dries, it becomes extremely hard. So it holds its shape and can support weight. But the structure's strength also comes from the engineering — how I weave (编织) the wood, and how I join major sections by bolting (用螺栓固定) them together.
SA: What makes a great nest design
JF: Placement is important. The lines of the branches (树枝) create movement and energy, resulting in a cleaner, simpler background — such as smooth stone or the sky — which really fits the nest. For me, it's all about balance.
SA: What skills do you need for your job
JF: You have to be able to draw and use different artistic tools. But you also have to know how to speak to people — your clients and the people who work for you.
SA: What inspires you
JF: I love to see how other artists, like Andy Goldsworthy, take common and natural materials and make something special with them.
SA: What is the best part of your job
JF: I get to be creative in a way that doesn't harm the environment!
21. Jayson Fann's nests are _____.

A. an animal lover
B. a fashion designer
C. a famous engineer
D. an environmental artist
B
Brian Greene, a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University, has created an online science education platform. He tries to “build a bridge” with things you know about, and then “bring you across that bridge to the strange place of modern physics.”
Recently I had a chance to ask Greene about wormholes (a hole which some scientists think might exist, connecting parts of space and time that are not usually connected), time travel and other mysteries of the universe. I asked him a million-dollar question: What if I went through a wormhole and prevented my parents from meeting “Most of us believe that the universe makes sense,” Greene said. Although there are several interesting theories about time travel, he added, the laws of physics would probably prevent something so illogical (不合乎常理的) from taking place. The good news is that the time paradox (悖论) is open for future physicists to solve.
When asked how physics could become more exciting for kids, Greene said that books by Stephen Weinberg, Leonard Susskind, and other physicists, “make it a great time for people who want to learn about big ideas but aren't yet ready, perhaps, to learn math.”
When I pointed out that some students still might find physics boring, Greene said that the key is to teach them about things that are strange. “The basic stuff is important,” Greene said. “But I think it's really important to also describe the more modern ideas, things like black holes and the Big Bang. If kids have those ideas in mind, then at least some of them will be excited to learn all the details.”
Greene has followed Albert Einstein's lead in trying to solve the mysteries of the universe. Now he wants kids to do the same. As Greene said, physics is “not just a matter of solving problems in an exam.” It's about experimenting, showing an interest in strange phenomena (现象) — and having fun!
24. A million-dollar question is probably very _____.
A. direct B. difficult C. personal D. long
25. The books by Weinberg and Susskind _____.
A. are boring to read
B. are mainly about math
C. are popular science books
D. are only popular among kids
26. According to Paragraph 4, which of the following does Greene agree with
A. Modern physics is a boring subject.
B. Interest plays an important role in studying.
C. It is not necessary to learn all about physics.
D. It is easy to describe black holes and the Big Bang.
27. In the last paragraph, Greene hopes that _____.
A. kids can love science and physics
B. kids can do well in physics exams
C. kids can have fun with experiments
D. kids can find more strange things in life
C
As an oceanographer (海洋学家), I've spent many years developing robots to explore the ocean, and now we're putting that technology to use in our JASON Project, a program that's designed to inspire students and get them interested in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. In theaters throughout the country, we bring kids together and send back to them on large screens our live explorations of large areas of the globe. Not only are the kids observers, but they can operate robots moving across the area while broadcasting images back to them. The kids have the sensation (感受) of really being at the site with us.
I believe advances in robot technology will one day be the key to a new kind of travel. In the next 10 or 15 years, people will have rooms in their houses that will be able to simulate (模拟) other environments. I like to call these rooms “home domes” — small theaters with screens and advanced equipment that can reproduce the sights, sounds, smells, and feel of a desert, or a forest. Hand in hand with these rooms, I can see a market for travel robots located in countries around the world. You could rent a robot working in a rain forest, then go into your home dome, where you yourself operate the robot's movements. The equipment in the room will receive the sensations in the robot's environment and simulate them for you.
Today, much of the world's population never travels more than 50 or 60 miles from home. And even a person with enough time can see only a part of the earth's sights. But this new way of travel will cost so much less in both time and money and allow people to see a lot more of the globe. And simulated travel will also help protect our planet. You can't take large groups of tourists to look at Dian Fossey's gorillas (大猩猩). But a small robot, with no animal smell, can get very close to a gorilla and send the sights, sounds, and smells back to a million people.
28. The main purpose of the JASON Project is to _____.
A. design robots
B. educate children
C. explore the world
D. improve technology
29. Without going outside, people in “home domes” can _____.
A. enjoy a guided trip
B. get very close to nature
C. develop and operate robots
D. send images back to scientists
30. What's the author's attitude towards the future of robot technology
A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful.
C. Hopeful. D. Dissatisfied.
31. According to the text, simulated travel _____.
A. has been widely accepted
B. costs lots of time and money
C. is harmful to the environment
D. is time- and money-saving
D
In a new move, doctors are using feature films in order to encourage their patients to talk more freely about their problems. Supporters of “film therapy (疗法)” say that discussing characters and plot lines from a proper film can help people to understand their feelings better.
One of those using the method is Bernie Wooder, a doctor from Elstree, who charges 45 for a one-hour “film therapy” session. He said, “I was treating a woman who had been badly let down in a relationship, and who was experiencing such strong feelings that it was difficult for her to speak about them. I told her that her situation reminded me of On the Waterfront, when Marlon Brando's character realizes his brother is dishonest and he feels a great sense of betrayal (背叛). My patient identified so easily with him that she started to cry. Watching and discussing the film unlocked all the feelings she had buried. Each time she watched and cried, she felt better.”
Mr Wooder admits that film therapy does not work for everyone, but says he has used it successfully with about a third of his clients. “Through the films' characters, plots and even music, it allows people to face their problems.” He said that Falling Down, in which Michael Douglas plays the part of an unemployed man who is so frustrated (沮丧的) that he uses violence, was an example of the dangerous implications (后果) of not letting anger go. “I used this film with a patient who was very upset because he was holding on to a lot of the anger he felt towards people who had frustrated him,” said Mr Wooder. “We talked about Michael Douglas's character and the disastrous path he takes, and my patient then realized that he needed to let go of his feelings more regularly so as not to erupt like a time bomb.”
32. What can we learn about Bernie Wooder
A. He used to be an actor.
B. He likes to review different films.
C. He is good at sharing his feelings.
D. He is in support of “film therapy”.
33. Why did the patient cry when she watched On the Waterfront
A. She missed her brother.
B. She was moved by the film.
C. She realized she had been cheated.
D. She thought of her sufferings.
34. After discussing Falling Down with Mr Wooder, the patient decided to _____.
A. let go of his anger
B. stop his acts of violence
C. forget those who hurt him
D. learn from Michael Douglas
35. What does the text mainly tell us
A. Film stars have problems too.
B. Films can help unlock feelings.
C. Watching films can help you relax.
D. The public should pay more attention to films.

Rugby (英式橄榄球) looks like a mixture of soccer and American football. In rugby, players carry the ball, kick the ball and tackle (拦截) one another. Men, women and children play it in more than 120 countries.
36 One of the school's students, a young man named William Webb Ellis, was playing in a soccer match. But he got bored with just kicking the ball, so he picked it up and ran with it. 37
When the school's students finished their studies, they moved to other parts of Britain, taking the new game, which they called rugby, with them. Before long, they and others set up rugby clubs throughout Britain and in other countries.
By the 1870s, there were many rugby clubs in Britain and elsewhere, but they weren't all playing rugby the same way. 38 They also founded an association (联盟) of rugby teams, called the Rugby Football Union (RFU).
Today, Rugby Union World Cup tournaments are held every four years. 39 The 2015 Rugby World Cup will be hosted by England. Thousands of fans will travel to attend the matches and cheer on their favorite teams. Believe it or not, not one team who's won the Rugby World Cup has managed to win the next World Cup! But players and fans don't mind. 40
A. They just enjoy the game.
B. A rugby team has two kinds of players.
C. The crowd cheers and shouts as two 15-man teams take the field.
D. Rugby was invented in 1823 at a school in the town of Rugby, England.
E. The first one took place in 1987 with Australia and New Zealand hosting.
F. Before long, this new way of playing soccer became popular at the school.
G. To solve this problem, players from twenty-two teams met and agreed on official rugby rules.

Eat as much 50 food as possible — lots of fruit and vegetables — and 51 not to eat too much fried food. When you don't have much time, it's 52 to get a takeaway (外卖), but it certainly isn't very good for you!
One 53 that a lot of people feel less than 100% fit is that they don't drink 54 water. You need to drink two liters a day — and water 55 water, not tea, coffee or sugary drinks.
Keeping fit is fun. However, a lot of people think it's 56 to go jogging or cycling. They just want to 57 their food. Well, of course, it's fine to have cakes and ice cream, 58 not every day! I would say we like what our bodies 59 and if you eat more healthy food, over time, you might find yourself wanting to eat them more than anything else. Try it, I think you'll be 60 !

选做题
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
During an airport delay (延误) the man to the left, a Korean perhaps, starts talking to the man opposite, who might be Colombian, and soon they are chatting away in what seems to be English. But the native English speaker sitting between them cannot understand what they are saying.
The Korean and the Colombian are actually speaking Globish, the latest addition to the 6,800 languages that are said to be spoken across the world. Not that its inventor, Jean-Paul Nerrière, considers it a proper language.
“It is not a language; it is a tool,” he says. “A language is the vehicle of a culture. Globish doesn’t want to be that at all.” It is a means of simplifying the English language and giving it rules so it can be understood by all.
Globish involves a vocabulary limited to 1,500 words, short sentences, basic grammar rules, and many hand gestures to get the point across. The word list goes from “able” to “zero”. “Niece and nephew are not included, but you can replace them with the children of my brother,” Nerrière says.
The seeds for Globish came about in the 1980s when Nerrière was working for IBM in Paris with colleagues of about 40 nationalities. At a meeting where they were to be addressed (演讲) by two Americans whose flight had been delayed, they started talking in their low-quality English. Then the Americans arrived and beyond their opening phrases, “Call me Jim,” “Call me Bill,” no one understood a word. And Jim and Bill, needless to say, did not understand the audience’s English.
“My colleagues all, like me, spoke low-quality English. One might have a vocabulary of 2,000 words, another of 1,200 and not the same words. One of the things of interest in Globish is that with 1,500 words you can express everything. People all over the world will speak with the same limited vocabulary,” says Nerrière.
Nerrière believes that with 182 hours’ learning the student should be able to communicate in Globish. It is not a pretty language — full of redundancies (冗语) — but Nerrière repeats that it is nothing but a tool. “It is not the language of great writers such as Shakespeare, Faulkner or Virginia Woolf,” he explains.

◆The Necomimi
This is basically a pair of brain-controlled cat ears that allows users to express emotional (情绪的) states: relaxed, mild interest, strong interest and focus. This is made possible by a built-in machine that reads and translates emotions. It’s a kind of technology that
can also be useful for athletes to determine the best state for performance. The Necomimi can be bought for $49 through maker Neurosky’s website.
◆The ostrich pillow
There are times when you’re so tired that nothing is better than taking a short sleep. Whether it’s being stuck at the office or on a long bus ride or at the library, the pillow is designed to put the wearer in soft supportive cushioning (缓冲垫) in any resting position. The strange-looking pillow has a hole in which to put your head, and a mouth hole designed to allow its wearer to breathe easily. It also has two side holes where you can store your hands. It is now being sold online for $99.
◆The H vding bike helmet (头盔)
The H vding allows riders to get around easily. It’s actually an airbag system that’s worn around the neck, working only when there’s a sudden shake or the unlikely event that may get you knocked off your bike. After winning the world’s most famous design prize, the creators are developing a new and better model. Now the first-generation helmet is being sold at various sporting shops throughout Europe for about $500.
◆The treadmill desk
The treadmill desk on sale is the perfect solution for our increasingly sedentary (久坐不动的) lifestyles. Recently a study found those who spent three hours a day on a treadmill desk became healthier. Still, it shouldn’t be treated as a panacea for not getting enough exercise. Another study suggests that meeting the recommended (被推荐的) amount of physical activity requires more exercises than walking. It’s also recommended that treadmill speeds should be limited to around 2 miles per hour or less to make sure they can be used safely while working.
6. When a runner wears the Necomimi, it can help _____.
A. show how he or she is feeling

第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Scholastic Art: What is your job
Jayson Fann: I build human-sized nests all over the world.
SA: Can people sit in your nests
JF: Yes! People have dinner parties in my nests. They read and relax in them. Some of my nests even have several rooms. My nests are even used as hotel rooms.
SA: How do you make a nest
JF: First, I make a design for the nest. Then I review the design with my client (客户). After the design is final, I collect wood and work with a team to build it.
SA: What do you use to make your nests
JF: I use eucalyptus (桉树) wood, which is soft and easy to bend when it is young and freshly cut. But when it dries, it becomes extremely hard. So it holds its shape and can support weight. But the structure's strength also comes from the engineering — how I weave (编织) the wood, and how I join major sections by bolting (用螺栓固定) them together.
SA: What makes a great nest design
JF: Placement is important. The lines of the branches (树枝) create movement and energy, resulting in a cleaner, simpler background — such as smooth stone or the sky — which really fits the nest. For me, it's all about balance.
SA: What skills do you need for your job
JF: You have to be able to draw and use different artistic tools. But you also have to know how to speak to people — your clients and the people who work for you.
SA: What inspires you
JF: I love to see how other artists, like Andy Goldsworthy, take common and natural materials and make something special with them.
SA: What is the best part of your job
JF: I get to be creative in a way that doesn't harm the environment!
21. Jayson Fann's nests are _____.

D. an environmental artist
B
Brian Greene, a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University, has created an online science education platform. He tries to “build a bridge” with things you know about, and then “bring you across that bridge to the strange place of modern physics.”
Recently I had a chance to ask Greene about wormholes (a hole which some scientists think might exist, connecting parts of space and time that are not usually connected), time travel and other mysteries of the universe. I asked him a million-dollar question: What if I went through a wormhole and prevented my parents from meeting “Most of us believe that the universe makes sense,” Greene said. Although there are several interesting theories about time travel, he added, the laws of physics would probably prevent something so illogical (不合乎常理的) from taking place. The good news is that the time paradox (悖论) is open for future physicists to solve.
When asked how physics could become more exciting for kids, Greene said that books by Stephen Weinberg, Leonard Susskind, and other physicists, “make it a great time for people who want to learn about big ideas but aren't yet ready, perhaps, to learn math.”
When I pointed out that some students still might find physics boring, Greene said that the key is to teach them about things that are strange. “The basic stuff is important,” Greene said. “But I think it's really important to also describe the more modern ideas, things like black holes and the Big Bang. If kids have those ideas in mind, then at least some of them will be excited to learn all the details.”
Greene has followed Albert Einstein's lead in trying to solve the mysteries of the universe. Now he wants kids to do the same. As Greene said, physics is “not just a matter of solving problems in an exam.” It's about experimenting, showing an interest in strange phenomena (现象) — and having fun!
24. A million-dollar question is probably very _____.
A. direct B. difficult C. personal D. long
25. The books by Weinberg and Susskind _____.
A. are boring to read
B. are mainly about math
C. are popular science books
D. are only popular among kids
26. According to Paragraph 4, which of the following does Greene agree with
A. Modern physics is a boring subject.
B. Interest plays an important role in studying.
C. It is not necessary to learn all about physics.
D. It is easy to describe black holes and the Big Bang.
27. In the last paragraph, Greene hopes that _____.
A. kids can love science and physics
B. kids can do well in physics exams
C. kids can have fun with experiments
D. kids can find more strange things in life
C
As an oceanographer (海洋学家), I've spent many years developing robots to explore the ocean, and now we're putting that technology to use in our JASON Project, a program that's designed to inspire students and get them interested in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. In theaters throughout the country, we bring kids together and send back to them on large screens our live explorations of large areas of the globe. Not only are the kids observers, but they can operate robots moving across the area while broadcasting images back to them. The kids have the sensation (感受) of really being at the site with us.
I believe advances in robot technology will one day be the key to a new kind of travel. In the next 10 or 15 years, people will have rooms in their houses that will be able to simulate (模拟) other environments. I like to call these rooms “home domes” — small theaters with screens and advanced equipment that can reproduce the sights, sounds, smells, and feel of a desert, or a forest. Hand in hand with these rooms, I can see a market for travel robots located in countries around the world. You could rent a robot working in a rain forest, then go into your home dome, where you yourself operate the robot's movements. The equipment in the room will receive the sensations in the robot's environment and simulate them for you.
Today, much of the world's population never travels more than 50 or 60 miles from home. And even a person with enough time can see only a part of the earth's sights. But this new way of travel will cost so much less in both time and money and allow people to see a lot more of the globe. And simulated travel will also help protect our planet. You can't take large groups of tourists to look at Dian Fossey's gorillas (大猩猩). But a small robot, with no animal smell, can get very close to a gorilla and send the sights, sounds, and smells back to a million people.
28. The main purpose of the JASON Project is to _____.
A. design robots
B. educate children
C. explore the world
D. improve technology
29. Without going outside, people in “home domes” can _____.
A. enjoy a guided trip
B. get very close to nature
C. develop and operate robots
D. send images back to scientists
30. What's the author's attitude towards the future of robot technology
A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful.
C. Hopeful. D. Dissatisfied.
31. According to the text, simulated travel _____.
A. has been widely accepted
B. costs lots of time and money
C. is harmful to the environment
D. is time- and money-saving
D
In a new move, doctors are using feature films in order to encourage their patients to talk more freely about their problems. Supporters of “film therapy (疗法)” say that discussing characters and plot lines from a proper film can help people to understand their feelings better.
One of those using the method is Bernie Wooder, a doctor from Elstree, who charges 45 for a one-hour “film therapy” session. He said, “I was treating a woman who had been badly let down in a relationship, and who was experiencing such strong feelings that it was difficult for her to speak about them. I told her that her situation reminded me of On the Waterfront, when Marlon Brando's character realizes his brother is dishonest and he feels a great sense of betrayal (背叛). My patient identified so easily with him that she started to cry. Watching and discussing the film unlocked all the feelings she had buried. Each time she watched and cried, she felt better.”
Mr Wooder admits that film therapy does not work for everyone, but says he has used it successfully with about a third of his clients. “Through the films' characters, plots and even music, it allows people to face their problems.” He said that Falling Down, in which Michael Douglas plays the part of an unemployed man who is so frustrated (沮丧的) that he uses violence, was an example of the dangerous implications (后果) of not letting anger go. “I used this film with a patient who was very upset because he was holding on to a lot of the anger he felt towards people who had frustrated him,” said Mr Wooder. “We talked about Michael Douglas's character and the disastrous path he takes, and my patient then realized that he needed to let go of his feelings more regularly so as not to erupt like a time bomb.”
32. What can we learn about Bernie Wooder
A. He used to be an actor.
B. He likes to review different films.
C. He is good at sharing his feelings.
D. He is in support of “film therapy”.
33. Why did the patient cry when she watched On the Waterfront
A. She missed her brother.
B. She was moved by the film.
C. She realized she had been cheated.
D. She thought of her sufferings.
34. After discussing Falling Down with Mr Wooder, the patient decided to _____.
A. let go of his anger
B. stop his acts of violence
C. forget those who hurt him
D. learn from Michael Douglas
35. What does the text mainly tell us
A. Film stars have problems too.
B. Films can help unlock feelings.
C. Watching films can help you relax.
D. The public should pay more attention to films.

Rugby (英式橄榄球) looks like a mixture of soccer and American football. In rugby, players carry the ball, kick the ball and tackle (拦截) one another. Men, women and children play it in more than 120 countries.
36 One of the school's students, a young man named William Webb Ellis, was playing in a soccer match. But he got bored with just kicking the ball, so he picked it up and ran with it. 37
When the school's students finished their studies, they moved to other parts of Britain, taking the new game, which they called rugby, with them. Before long, they and others set up rugby clubs throughout Britain and in other countries.
By the 1870s, there were many rugby clubs in Britain and elsewhere, but they weren't all playing rugby the same way. 38 They also founded an association (联盟) of rugby teams, called the Rugby Football Union (RFU).
Today, Rugby Union World Cup tournaments are held every four years. 39 The 2015 Rugby World Cup will be hosted by England. Thousands of fans will travel to attend the matches and cheer on their favorite teams. Believe it or not, not one team who's won the Rugby World Cup has managed to win the next World Cup! But players and fans don't mind. 40
A. They just enjoy the game.
B. A rugby team has two kinds of players.
C. The crowd cheers and shouts as two 15-man teams take the field.
D. Rugby was invented in 1823 at a school in the town of Rugby, England.
E. The first one took place in 1987 with Australia and New Zealand hosting.
F. Before long, this new way of playing soccer became popular at the school.
G. To solve this problem, players from twenty-two teams met and agreed on official rugby rules.

When you don't have much time, it's 52 to get a takeaway (外卖), but it certainly isn't very good for you!
One 53 that a lot of people feel less than 100% fit is that they don't drink 54 water. You need to drink two liters a day — and water 55 water, not tea, coffee or sugary drinks.
Keeping fit is fun. However, a lot of people think it's 56 to go jogging or cycling. They just want to 57 their food. Well, of course, it's fine to have cakes and ice cream, 58 not every day! I would say we like what our bodies 59 and if you eat more healthy food, over time, you might find yourself wanting to eat them more than anything else. Try it, I think you'll be 60 !

选做题
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
During an airport delay (延误) the man to the left, a Korean perhaps, starts talking to the man opposite, who might be Colombian, and soon they are chatting away in what seems to be English. But the native English speaker sitting between them cannot understand what they are saying.
The Korean and the Colombian are actually speaking Globish, the latest addition to the 6,800 languages that are said to be spoken across the world. Not that its inventor, Jean-Paul Nerrière, considers it a proper language.
“It is not a language; it is a tool,” he says. “A language is the vehicle of a culture. Globish doesn’t want to be that at all.” It is a means of simplifying the English language and giving it rules so it can be understood by all.
Globish involves a vocabulary limited to 1,500 words, short sentences, basic grammar rules, and many hand gestures to get the point across. The word list goes from “able” to “zero”. “Niece and nephew are not included, but you can replace them with the children of my brother,” Nerrière says.
The seeds for Globish came about in the 1980s when Nerrière was working for IBM in Paris with colleagues of about 40 nationalities. At a meeting where they were to be addressed (演讲) by two Americans whose flight had been delayed, they started talking in their low-quality English. Then the Americans arrived and beyond their opening phrases, “Call me Jim,” “Call me Bill,” no one understood a word. And Jim and Bill, needless to say, did not understand the audience’s English.
“My colleagues all, like me, spoke low-quality English. One might have a vocabulary of 2,000 words, another of 1,200 and not the same words. One of the things of interest in Globish is that with 1,500 words you can express everything. People all over the world will speak with the same limited vocabulary,” says Nerrière.
Nerrière believes that with 182 hours’ learning the student should be able to communicate in Globish. It is not a pretty language — full of redundancies (冗语) — but Nerrière repeats that it is nothing but a tool. “It is not the language of great writers such as Shakespeare, Faulkner or Virginia Woolf,” he explains.

A. Interesting. B. Amazing.
C. Unimportant. D. Unsuccessful.
4. What can we learn about Globish
A. It creates many new words.
B. It is very difficult to learn.

B. To give a brief introduction to Globish.
C. To describe the research work of Nerrière.
D. To report a recent development in English.

◆The Necomimi
This is basically a pair of brain-controlled cat ears that allows users to express emotional (情绪的) states: relaxed, mild interest, strong interest and focus. This is made possible by a built-in machine that reads and translates emotions. It’s a kind of technology that
can also be useful for athletes to determine the best state for performance. The Necomimi can be bought for $49 through maker Neurosky’s website.
◆The ostrich pillow
There are times when you’re so tired that nothing is better than taking a short sleep. Whether it’s being stuck at the office or on a long bus ride or at the library, the pillow is designed to put the wearer in soft supportive cushioning (缓冲垫) in any resting position. The strange-looking pillow has a hole in which to put your head, and a mouth hole designed to allow its wearer to breathe easily. It also has two side holes where you can store your hands. It is now being sold online for $99.
◆The H vding bike helmet (头盔)
The H vding allows riders to get around easily. It’s actually an airbag system that’s worn around the neck, working only when there’s a sudden shake or the unlikely event that may get you knocked off your bike. After winning the world’s most famous design prize, the creators are developing a new and better model. Now the first-generation helmet is being sold at various sporting shops throughout Europe for about $500.
◆The treadmill desk
The treadmill desk on sale is the perfect solution for our increasingly sedentary (久坐不动的) lifestyles. Recently a study found those who spent three hours a day on a treadmill desk became healthier. Still, it shouldn’t be treated as a panacea for not getting enough exercise. Another study suggests that meeting the recommended (被推荐的) amount of physical activity requires more exercises than walking. It’s also recommended that treadmill speeds should be limited to around 2 miles per hour or less to make sure they can be used safely while working.

解析
A篇(语言学习)
本文是说明文。 文章介绍了一种只有1500个单词的国际辅助语——全球语。
1. B。推理判断题。根据第一段的But the native English speaker sitting between them cannot understand what they are saying可知，这个以英语为母语的人不懂全球语。
2. C。细节理解题。根据第三段的It is not a language; it is a tool 和It is a means ... so it can be understood by all可知，Nerrière认为全球语只是一种交流的工具。
3. D。推理判断题。根据第五段可知，Nerrière和他的同事们听不懂两个美国人的演讲，美国人也听不懂观众的英语，由此可见这次会议很不成功。
4. D。细节理解题。根据第四段的Globish involves a vocabulary limited to 1,500 words可知。
5. B。写作目的题。本文对全球语这种简化的国际辅助语进行了简要介绍。
B篇(现代技术)
本文是应用文。文章介绍了四种奇特的发明。
6. A。细节理解题。根据The Necomimi部分介绍的that allows users to express emotional states和that can also be useful for athletes to determine the best state for performance可知，the Necomimi可以反映出运动员的个人状态。
7. D。推断理解题。The ostrich pillow部分介绍的是一款可以让使用者随时随地打盹的枕头——这个形状怪异的枕头一共有4个洞，一个放头，两个放手，还有一个开口可供呼吸，故该发明的特点就是其便捷性。
8. B。细节理解题。根据The H vding bike helmet部分介绍的the creators are developing a new and better model可知，该产品仍在改进中。
9. D。词义猜测题。根据The treadmill desk部分介绍可知，此款产品是为了改变人们久坐不动的生活方式，虽其能达到锻炼身体的目的，但要达到推荐的运动量仍需大量的锻炼。根据Still一词可知，该产品不是针对运动不足的“绝好的解决办法”。
10. A。推断理解题。根据这四个发明介绍中的can be bought, being sold online, being sold at various sporting shops, on sale可知，它们都已在市场上销售。
