The summer is so hot and sticky, but why would we want to sweat even more by exercising Or is it just I who think like that Sweat and clothes sticking to our bodies as we move make exercise seem rather uncomfortable. What can be done to fix it
Researchers at MIT have come up with a solution. They've developed a workout suit with flaps that open as the wearer begins sweating. As the person cools off, the flaps shrink until they assume their original position.
Sounds cool. Sounds practical. These flaps are lined with live, microbial(微生物的) cells. These cells can detect when the body is heating up too much, and in response, expand. It's just as if they were working within any other organism, recognizing patterns of heating and cooling, then responding appropriately to maintain body temperature. It seems kind of strange to have living cells (that aren't your own) on you, right Not to fear, these cells have been believed safe. Plus, there's a material in the suit that helps the flaps/cells hover ever so slightly above the exerciser's skin. The flaps start opening as soon as people start feeling warm and sweaty, and the bit of space between the suit and the skin helps develop that feeling of cool and refreshing air as they move. For more information about flaps, click here.
According to gadgetify.com, researchers have also been working to apply this technology to running shoes. Moisture-responsive workout clothing has the potential to revolutionize the sport fashion industry. People can stay drier, cooler and fresher at the end of the workout, which sounds better than leaving the gym with a trail of sweat and a red face. It's possible that the comfort of these suits can make people enjoy exercising more and exercise with more intensity.

It was just a normal day for Ruth Miller, a 63-year-old woman until everything went horribly wrong. She was walking to her car after shopping when the unthinkable happened.
Right as she was unlocking her car, a man quickly came up behind her and tried to wrestle her purse away. She was in a state of shock. Luckily she remembered she had her Safe Personal Alarm (SPA) on her purse, and since she was too scared to scream for help, she quickly reached for the alarm and pulled the pin (保险栓). Immediately her SPA started just screaming. The man didn't know what to do! He froze for a second, and then ran away like a bat out of hell!
SPA is a safety device capable of creating a 125 dB sound that attracts attention and scares away potential attackers. To compare, it's the same volume as a military jet during take-off.
Paul Davidson, the inventor of SPA, knows all too well the type of situation that Ruth found herself in. But that's not the only type of situation that SPA helps protect against. Parents can give it to their kids as an extra means of protection. Teenagers can use it so they can feel safe walking home. Women can know it's there when they have to use the parking lot at night. "My mother, who is 76 years old, carries it around in case she falls and needs to ask people for help. I only wish I'd have thought of it earlier," said Paul.
The police have been recommending SPA since it first hit the market. In fact, since its launch, SPA has been in a state, shifting between in stock and sold out nearly every other week, and it's also got tons of loyal followers worldwide.
1. What does the underlined part "the unthinkable" in Paragraph I refer to
A. An attempted robbery. B. A wrestling match.
C. An angry argument. D. A car accident.
2. How did Ruth react to the unexpected situation
A. She fought violently. B. She froze in great fear.
C. She cried desperately for help. D. She sounded her safety device.
3. Why does Paul mention his mother
A. To imply the elderly need more care. B. To suggest he cares about his mother.
C. To show SPA can be widely used. D. To make an advertisement for SPA.
4. What can be learnt from the text
A. SPA is well received in the market. B. People hesitate to pay for security.
C. SPA was sold out in the first two weeks. D. The police seldom recommend products.
D
Bacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts. The microorganisms(微生物) from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem It’s turning to a bunch of high school kids. But not just any kids. It’s depending on NASA HUNCH high school class, like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport, New York.
HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordon’s students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they’re close to a solution. "We don’t give the students any breaks. They have to do it just like NASA engineers," says Florence Gold, a project manager.
"There are no tests," Gordon says. "There is no graded homework. There almost are no grades, other than 'Are you working towards your goal ' Basically, it’s 'I’ve got to produce this product and then, at the end of year, present it to NASA.' Engineers come and really do an in-person review, and...it’s not a very nice thing at time. It’s a hard business review of your product."
Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact on college admissions and practical life skills. "These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back. I don’t teach." And that annoying bacteria Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in space.
1.What do we know about the bacteria in the International Space Station
A.They are hard to get rid of. B.They lead to air pollution.
C.They appear in different forms. D.They damage the instruments.
2.What is the purpose of the HUNCH program
A.To strengthen teacher-student relationships. B.To sharpen students' communication skills.
C.To allow students to experience zero gravity. D.To link space technology with school education.
3.What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program
A.Check their product. B.Guide project designs.
C.Adjust work schedules. D.Grade their homework.
4.What is the best title for the text
A.NASA: The Home of Astronauts. B.Space: The Final Homework Frontier.
C.Nature: An Outdoor Classroom. D.HUNCH: A College Admission Reform.

Being an astronaut sounds cool, doesn't it In space, they get to do some pretty amazing things, like 1 in zero gravity. However, without 2 , there are also plenty of things astronauts can't do, and that's very 3 . What's worse, they can't even let their sadness show — because it's impossible to 4 in zero gravity.
Of course, astronauts can still produce tears. But crying is much more difficult in space. Because of their 5 environment, tears don't flow downward out of the eyes. This 6 that when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go — they just 7 there. In May 2011, astronaut Andrew J. Feustel 8 this during one of his spacewalks.
Besides making your 9 unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on Earth, tears are supposed to bring 10 to the eyes. But that's not the case in space. "My right eye is painful like crazy," Feustel told his teammate during the walk.
Since gravity doesn't work in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears. Feustel 11 to rub (擦) his eyes against his helmet to wipe the tears away. Another choice is to just wait. "When the tears get big enough they 12 break free of the eye and float around," astronaut Ron Parise said.
In space, astronauts can't eat or drink in 13 ways. Nor can they talk to each other directly. They can't even burp (打嗝), because there is no gravity to hold the food 14 in their stomach. If they do burp, they just 15 throwing up everything in their stomach. Thus, perhaps it's only space explorers who can honestly say, "Gravity, you're the best."

Last summer when my family was on the road to Montana, we arrived in Great Falls late one night. The kids had fallen asleep in the car, so my husband went and checked in while I stayed with the kids. When he returned with the room keys, we woke up our children and took them out of the car, through the hotel, up the elevators and into our guest room. We kept the room dark, leaving only the entry light on, and quickly put the kids into bed hoping they'd drift off to sleep.
My husband went to put our water in the mini-fridge only to notice some beers. "That's strange", he said and I agreed, but having discovered left-behind drinks in hotel fridges in the past I didn't think much about it. I figured the housekeepers had forgotten to check it. In the meantime, my husband ran to the store and I went into the bathroom to get ready for bed. As I washed my face. I looked down to see cardboard beer containers in the trash. I felt my heart begin to pound. We were in someone else's room!
Now panicked, I checked the closet. Nothing. I then went to the dresser drawers. Nothing. My eyes scanned the door room's floor and there it was: A black bag that looked like one of ours. But it wasn't!
I immediately called the front desk and the waitress in charge responded with an "Oh, my God! This is not good!"
By now the kids were wide-awake, jumping on the beds as I was trying to put all of our things back into our oversized suitcase. Just while we were packing our things, I heard someone unlocking the door, which made my heart beat wildly.

第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1:
The door opened and in came a young man. After seeing us packing our things into our suitcase, he was shocked and angry. I tried to explain what had happened. However, he wouldn't listen to me. He talked with me in a loud voice, making my kids frightened. The kids began to cry. Just at that time my husband returned, with some things bought from the store in his hands. Thinking the young man was unfriendly, he started to quarrel with him.
Paragraph 2:
I didn't know how to deal with the matter but luckily the waitress arrived out of breath. Watching the waitress, all of us stopped talking. She explained that her mother became badly ill last night, which contributed to her fault. After explaining the reason to us, the waitress burst into tears. The young man, my husband and I, even my kids, tried to comfort the waitress. We said sorry to each other. The special experience in someone else's room made me realize forgiveness is a kind of virtue.
解析： 根据所给材料可知，作者一家人旅途中去宾馆住宿，但却发现服务员把他们带进了别人的房间。根据续写部分第一段所给出的开头语可以判断，"a young man"是登记入住这个房间的人；根据续写部分第二段中的"but luckily the waitress"可知，服务员恰当地处理了这件事。因此续写部分要抓住两个关键点：年轻人回到自己的房间却发现里面有陌生人，他们会面的场景会是怎样的？服务员又是怎样处理这件事的？因此学生在构思时应将重点放在怎样让故事衔接得更自然、更流畅。

The summer is so hot and sticky, but why would we want to sweat even more by exercising Or is it just I who think like that Sweat and clothes sticking to our bodies as we move make exercise seem rather uncomfortable. What can be done to fix it
Researchers at MIT have come up with a solution. They've developed a workout suit with flaps that open as the wearer begins sweating. As the person cools off, the flaps shrink until they assume their original position.
Sounds cool. Sounds practical. These flaps are lined with live, microbial(微生物的) cells. These cells can detect when the body is heating up too much, and in response, expand. It's just as if they were working within any other organism, recognizing patterns of heating and cooling, then responding appropriately to maintain body temperature. It seems kind of strange to have living cells (that aren't your own) on you, right Not to fear, these cells have been believed safe. Plus, there's a material in the suit that helps the flaps/cells hover ever so slightly above the exerciser's skin. The flaps start opening as soon as people start feeling warm and sweaty, and the bit of space between the suit and the skin helps develop that feeling of cool and refreshing air as they move. For more information about flaps, click here.
According to gadgetify.com, researchers have also been working to apply this technology to running shoes. Moisture-responsive workout clothing has the potential to revolutionize the sport fashion industry. People can stay drier, cooler and fresher at the end of the workout, which sounds better than leaving the gym with a trail of sweat and a red face. It's possible that the comfort of these suits can make people enjoy exercising more and exercise with more intensity.

It was just a normal day for Ruth Miller, a 63-year-old woman until everything went horribly wrong. She was walking to her car after shopping when the unthinkable happened.
Right as she was unlocking her car, a man quickly came up behind her and tried to wrestle her purse away. She was in a state of shock. Luckily she remembered she had her Safe Personal Alarm (SPA) on her purse, and since she was too scared to scream for help, she quickly reached for the alarm and pulled the pin (保险栓). Immediately her SPA started just screaming. The man didn't know what to do! He froze for a second, and then ran away like a bat out of hell!
SPA is a safety device capable of creating a 125 dB sound that attracts attention and scares away potential attackers. To compare, it's the same volume as a military jet during take-off.
Paul Davidson, the inventor of SPA, knows all too well the type of situation that Ruth found herself in. But that's not the only type of situation that SPA helps protect against. Parents can give it to their kids as an extra means of protection. Teenagers can use it so they can feel safe walking home. Women can know it's there when they have to use the parking lot at night. "My mother, who is 76 years old, carries it around in case she falls and needs to ask people for help. I only wish I'd have thought of it earlier," said Paul.
The police have been recommending SPA since it first hit the market. In fact, since its launch, SPA has been in a state, shifting between in stock and sold out nearly every other week, and it's also got tons of loyal followers worldwide.
1. What does the underlined part "the unthinkable" in Paragraph I refer to
A. An attempted robbery. B. A wrestling match.
C. An angry argument. D. A car accident.
2. How did Ruth react to the unexpected situation
A. She fought violently. B. She froze in great fear.
C. She cried desperately for help. D. She sounded her safety device.
3. Why does Paul mention his mother
A. To imply the elderly need more care. B. To suggest he cares about his mother.
C. To show SPA can be widely used. D. To make an advertisement for SPA.
4. What can be learnt from the text
A. SPA is well received in the market. B. People hesitate to pay for security.
C. SPA was sold out in the first two weeks. D. The police seldom recommend products.
D
Bacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts. The microorganisms(微生物) from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem It’s turning to a bunch of high school kids. But not just any kids. It’s depending on NASA HUNCH high school class, like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport, New York.
HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordon’s students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they’re close to a solution. "We don’t give the students any breaks. They have to do it just like NASA engineers," says Florence Gold, a project manager.
"There are no tests," Gordon says. "There is no graded homework. There almost are no grades, other than 'Are you working towards your goal ' Basically, it’s 'I’ve got to produce this product and then, at the end of year, present it to NASA.' Engineers come and really do an in-person review, and...it’s not a very nice thing at time. It’s a hard business review of your product."
Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact on college admissions and practical life skills. "These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back. I don’t teach." And that annoying bacteria Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in space.
1.What do we know about the bacteria in the International Space Station
A.They are hard to get rid of. B.They lead to air pollution.
C.They appear in different forms. D.They damage the instruments.
2.What is the purpose of the HUNCH program
A.To strengthen teacher-student relationships. B.To sharpen students' communication skills.
C.To allow students to experience zero gravity. D.To link space technology with school education.
3.What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program
A.Check their product. B.Guide project designs.
C.Adjust work schedules. D.Grade their homework.
4.What is the best title for the text
A.NASA: The Home of Astronauts. B.Space: The Final Homework Frontier.
C.Nature: An Outdoor Classroom. D.HUNCH: A College Admission Reform.

Being an astronaut sounds cool, doesn't it In space, they get to do some pretty amazing things, like 1 in zero gravity. However, without 2 , there are also plenty of things astronauts can't do, and that's very 3 . What's worse, they can't even let their sadness show — because it's impossible to 4 in zero gravity.
Of course, astronauts can still produce tears. But crying is much more difficult in space. Because of their 5 environment, tears don't flow downward out of the eyes. This 6 that when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go — they just 7 there. In May 2011, astronaut Andrew J. Feustel 8 this during one of his spacewalks.
Besides making your 9 unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on Earth, tears are supposed to bring 10 to the eyes. But that's not the case in space. "My right eye is painful like crazy," Feustel told his teammate during the walk.
Since gravity doesn't work in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears. Feustel 11 to rub (擦) his eyes against his helmet to wipe the tears away. Another choice is to just wait. "When the tears get big enough they 12 break free of the eye and float around," astronaut Ron Parise said.
In space, astronauts can't eat or drink in 13 ways. Nor can they talk to each other directly. They can't even burp (打嗝), because there is no gravity to hold the food 14 in their stomach. If they do burp, they just 15 throwing up everything in their stomach. Thus, perhaps it's only space explorers who can honestly say, "Gravity, you're the best."

Last summer when my family was on the road to Montana, we arrived in Great Falls late one night. The kids had fallen asleep in the car, so my husband went and checked in while I stayed with the kids. When he returned with the room keys, we woke up our children and took them out of the car, through the hotel, up the elevators and into our guest room. We kept the room dark, leaving only the entry light on, and quickly put the kids into bed hoping they'd drift off to sleep.
My husband went to put our water in the mini-fridge only to notice some beers. "That's strange", he said and I agreed, but having discovered left-behind drinks in hotel fridges in the past I didn't think much about it. I figured the housekeepers had forgotten to check it. In the meantime, my husband ran to the store and I went into the bathroom to get ready for bed. As I washed my face. I looked down to see cardboard beer containers in the trash. I felt my heart begin to pound. We were in someone else's room!
Now panicked, I checked the closet. Nothing. I then went to the dresser drawers. Nothing. My eyes scanned the door room's floor and there it was: A black bag that looked like one of ours. But it wasn't!
I immediately called the front desk and the waitress in charge responded with an "Oh, my God! This is not good!"
By now the kids were wide-awake, jumping on the beds as I was trying to put all of our things back into our oversized suitcase. Just while we were packing our things, I heard someone unlocking the door, which made my heart beat wildly.

第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1:
The door opened and in came a young man. After seeing us packing our things into our suitcase, he was shocked and angry. I tried to explain what had happened. However, he wouldn't listen to me. He talked with me in a loud voice, making my kids frightened. The kids began to cry. Just at that time my husband returned, with some things bought from the store in his hands. Thinking the young man was unfriendly, he started to quarrel with him.
Paragraph 2:
I didn't know how to deal with the matter but luckily the waitress arrived out of breath. Watching the waitress, all of us stopped talking. She explained that her mother became badly ill last night, which contributed to her fault. After explaining the reason to us, the waitress burst into tears. The young man, my husband and I, even my kids, tried to comfort the waitress. We said sorry to each other. The special experience in someone else's room made me realize forgiveness is a kind of virtue.
解析： 根据所给材料可知，作者一家人旅途中去宾馆住宿，但却发现服务员把他们带进了别人的房间。根据续写部分第一段所给出的开头语可以判断，"a young man"是登记入住这个房间的人；根据续写部分第二段中的"but luckily the waitress"可知，服务员恰当地处理了这件事。因此续写部分要抓住两个关键点：年轻人回到自己的房间却发现里面有陌生人，他们会面的场景会是怎样的？服务员又是怎样处理这件事的？因此学生在构思时应将重点放在怎样让故事衔接得更自然、更流畅。
