Aibo
Sony's latest version of the Aibo robotic dog is almost as fun as the real thing — but much less work.The pet dog can recognize its owner, obey several commands, and even recall the behaviour that pleases its master the most.Aibo can also learn new tricks, take photographs, and over time, develop its own unique personality.

My wife and I used to feel that it was impossible to be a true friend to someone whose name we didn't know.How wrong we were! Years of Sunday-morning bus trips through the city with the same group of “nameless” people have changed our thinking.
Before the bus takes off, we all join in a conversation: where's the silent woman who sits at the front and never replies to our cheery greetings Here she comes.Her worn clothing suggests she doesn't have much money to spare, but she always takes an extra cup of coffee for the driver.
We get smiles from a Mexican couple as they get on the bus hand in hand.When they get off, they're still holding hands.The woman was pregnant late last year, and one day her change of shape showed that she'd given birth to the child.We even felt a little proud at the thought of our extended family.
For many months, our only sadness lay in our being unable to establish the same friendship with the silent woman at the front of the bus.Then, one evening, we went to a fish restaurant.We were shown to a table alongside someone sitting alone.It was the woman from the bus.
We greeted her with friendly familiarity we'd shown all year, but this time her face softened, then a shy smile.When she spoke, the words escaped from her lips with difficulty.All at once we realized why she hadn't spoken to us before.Talking was hard for her.
Over dinner, we learned the stay of a single mother with a disabled son who was receiving special care away from home.She missed him very much, she explained.
“I love him ... and he loves me, even though he doesn't express it very well,” she spoke in a low voice.“Lots of us have that problem, don't we We don't say what we want to say, what we should be saying.And that's not good enough.”
The candles flared on our tables.Our fish had never tasted better.But the atmosphere grew pleasant, and when we parted as friends — we shared names.

What was the last thing you did before going to bed last night You were probably on a device: reading e-mails, surfing the web or checking social media.
You're not alone. A study by the National Sleep Foundation shows 48% of American adults use devices such as phones or laptops in bed.
Unlike reading and watching TV, modern devices are interactive rather than passive. Their connectivity to the outside world comes into the bedroom.
It appears there is a marked difference between staying up late with a good book or watching television in bed and using smartphones and laptops. The way we interact with electronic devices allows them to eat into far more of the time we should be asleep, according to researchers.
“These devices are causing sleep procrastination (拖延),” says Matthew Walker, a professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of California, Berkeley.
“Sending a text message, posting something on Facebook or checking your e-mail means you are waiting for a response and revs_up your emotional nervous system.”
Ben Carter, a professor at King's College London, conducted a review of 20 studies into the effect of technology on children's sleep patterns, finding even those who did not use phones or other devices before bed but had them in their bedrooms, slept less deeply than those who left their devices in another room.
“It is perhaps the biggest unaddressed public health problem of our time. Sleep is necessary for a wide range of functions that serve our health and well-being,” says Colin Espie, professor of sleep medicine at the University of Oxford.
Yet surprisingly, Walker says technology itself may hold the answer to control our sleep. There are already many devices on the market that claim to monitor and aid people in sleeping. And Walker hopes to use machine-learning technology to produce new ways to help those who are not sleeping properly.

A.Makes something stop working.
B.Makes something function normally.
C.Makes something operate more quickly.
D.Makes something develop more steadily.

10.What's Colin Espie's attitude to using electronic devices
A.Favorable. B.Opposed.
C.Unconcerned. D.Ambiguous.
解析:选B 观点态度题。根据倒数第二段可知,Colin Espie认为,睡前使用电子产品是我们面临的最大的健康问题。由此可知他反对使用电子产品。

A.Many people rely on electronic devices to fall asleep.
B.Ben Carter studied different age groups' sleep patterns.
C.The use of electronic devices may make people eat more.

解析:选D 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的“finding even those who ... slept less deeply than those who left their devices in another room”可知,就算睡前不使用电子设备,只要它们出现在卧室就会影响人们的睡眠。

Many studies have shown how playing video games can lead to structural changes in the brain, including increasing the size of some regions, or to functional changes, such as activating the areas responsible for attention.New research from the University at Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) has gone further to show how cognitive changes can take place even years after people stop playing.
The study involved 27 people between the ages of 18 and 40 with and without any kind of experience with video gaming.
“People who were video gamers before adolescence, despite no longer playing, performed better with the working memory tasks, which require mentally holding and processing information to get a result,” said Marc Palaus, the author of the study.
The results show that people without experience of playing video games as a child did not benefit from improvements in processing and avoiding irrelevant stimuli.Indeed, they were slower than those who had played games as children, which matched what had been seen in earlier studies.
“People who played regularly as children performed better from the outset in processing 3D objects, although these differences were narrowed after the period of training in video gaming, when both groups showed similar levels,” said Palaus.
The study lasted a month and the researchers analyzed participants' cognitive skills, including working memory, at three points: before starting the training in video gaming, at the end of the training, and fifteen days later.The video game used was Nintendo's Super Mario 64.
According to Palaus, what most video games have in common is that they involve elements that make people want to continue playing, and that they gradually get harder and present a constant challenge.“These two things are enough to make it an attractive and motivating activity, which, in turn, requires constant and intense use of our brain's resources.”
“Video games are a perfect recipe for strengthening our cognitive skills, almost without our noticing.However, it's not the reason for playing too much,” he said.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。研究表明,儿时玩电子游戏的人即使在成年以后也会显现出较高的认知能力,但这并不能成为沉迷电子游戏的理由。

C.Its participants are adults.

B.They failed to physically hold 3D objects.
C.They performed very slowly after training.
D.They did worse in working memory tasks.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第三、四段可推断,没有儿时玩电子游戏经验的人在工作记忆任务中表现得相对差一点。
14.What may Marc Palaus suggest doing
A.Finding recipes for better cognitive skills.
B.Avoiding getting addicted to video games.
C.Trying less challenging video games.
D.Forbidding video games for the young.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段可推断,Marc Palaus可能会建议人们要避免沉迷电子游戏。
15.What is the best title for the text
A.Playing Video Games as Kids Can Cause Changes in Brain
B.Video Gamers Memorize Information Much More Quickly
C.Video Games Help to Improve Children's Working Memory
D.Playing Video Games Benefits Cognitive Skills Even Years Later
解析:选D 标题归纳题。通读全文尤其是第一段可知,文章通过一项研究介绍了儿时玩电子游戏的人即使在成年以后也会显现出较高的认知能力。故D选项“即使是多年以后,玩电子游戏对认知能力仍然有好处”适合作文章标题。

41.yourself 考查反身代词。此处表示“保护你自己”,故用反身代词。
42.information 考查名词。该空作give的宾语,应用名词,且information是不可数名词。
43.uncomfortable 考查形容词。该空作感官动词feel的表语,应用形容词;根据“you should stop contact with others”可知,这里意思是“如果你对谈话的话题感到不舒服”,故填uncomfortable。
44.which 考查定语从句。该空所在句是一个非限制性定语从句,修饰前面整句话,关系词在从句中作主语,指物,故用which引导该从句。
45.the 考查冠词。whole通常和the连用,构成the whole,意为“整个”。

“Today's test score will decide who has topped the class, so be ready,” announced Miss Natasha in the classroom.
Miss Natasha got everyone's test papers, cleared her throat to announce the results and distributed the test papers among the students.Everyone was nervous about their scores that would be announced soon.
Ali and Bob have been competitors since class one and each year either one of the two came first in the class.This year, there was tough competition between both of them, and they eagerly awaited the results.
“Peter, 18,” announced Miss Natasha as she handed him his paper, “Eric, 16, Ali, 20, Bob, 19 ... and lastly Alia, 15.”
When Miss Natasha had distributed the test papers in class, everyone found out that Ali beat Bob by one mark and topped the class.Everyone congratulated him and Ali was happy as he accepted everyone's congratulations.
As Ali was about to put his paper in his bag, he noticed that by mistake Miss Natasha had given him two marks for an incorrect answer.He was shocked.He rechecked his answers and realized that all his answers were correct except for that one.Now if he informed Miss Natasha about it, he would not only lose two marks but also his first position.
Considering the situation, he remained quiet and went home.But all day he kept thinking about it.Should he or shouldn't he tell Miss Natasha about it He thought that it had been already done, and no one would notice if he didn't tell anyone, but then another thought crossed his mind.If he didn't tell the teacher about it and stayed the position-holder in class, he wouldn't rightfully take the position as it clearly belonged to Bob.
This situation put Ali in a hard position.His parents always taught him to do the right thing, but doing the right thing here meant he would lose his first position.He remembered how everyone cheered for him and congratulated him in class.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

Paragraph 1:
He knew that by informing the teacher about it, he would lose it all. As he fought with his thoughts, his mum asked him, “What's the matter?” “Mum, what if doing the right thing would mean you would lose something?” he asked in reply.“Son, if it is the right thing to do, then I am sure you will be rewarded for it.A wrong thing may seem attractive at first, but if it is wrong, it will hurt us someday,” his mum said.
Paragraph 2:
“My son, you are a brave and honest boy so just do what you think is right,” his mum continued. The next day in class, Miss Natasha announced, “Today Ali has done what only a few of us would have the courage to do.He came to me and told me that I had mistakenly given him two marks and he was right about it, so the first position goes to Bob, not Ali.” Everyone, even Bob, was surprised by this development.After the class, Bob asked Ali, “Why did you do that?” Ali simply replied, “Because it was the right thing to do.”UNIT 4 单元验收评价(一) 单元语基温故

My wife and I used to feel that it was impossible to be a true friend to someone whose name we didn't know.How wrong we were! Years of Sunday-morning bus trips through the city with the same group of “nameless” people have changed our thinking.
Before the bus takes off, we all join in a conversation: where's the silent woman who sits at the front and never replies to our cheery greetings Here she comes.Her worn clothing suggests she doesn't have much money to spare, but she always takes an extra cup of coffee for the driver.
We get smiles from a Mexican couple as they get on the bus hand in hand.When they get off, they're still holding hands.The woman was pregnant late last year, and one day her change of shape showed that she'd given birth to the child.We even felt a little proud at the thought of our extended family.
For many months, our only sadness lay in our being unable to establish the same friendship with the silent woman at the front of the bus.Then, one evening, we went to a fish restaurant.We were shown to a table alongside someone sitting alone.It was the woman from the bus.
We greeted her with friendly familiarity we'd shown all year, but this time her face softened, then a shy smile.When she spoke, the words escaped from her lips with difficulty.All at once we realized why she hadn't spoken to us before.Talking was hard for her.
Over dinner, we learned the stay of a single mother with a disabled son who was receiving special care away from home.She missed him very much, she explained.
“I love him ... and he loves me, even though he doesn't express it very well,” she spoke in a low voice.“Lots of us have that problem, don't we We don't say what we want to say, what we should be saying.And that's not good enough.”
The candles flared on our tables.Our fish had never tasted better.But the atmosphere grew pleasant, and when we parted as friends — we shared names.

What was the last thing you did before going to bed last night You were probably on a device: reading e-mails, surfing the web or checking social media.
You're not alone. A study by the National Sleep Foundation shows 48% of American adults use devices such as phones or laptops in bed.
Unlike reading and watching TV, modern devices are interactive rather than passive. Their connectivity to the outside world comes into the bedroom.
It appears there is a marked difference between staying up late with a good book or watching television in bed and using smartphones and laptops. The way we interact with electronic devices allows them to eat into far more of the time we should be asleep, according to researchers.
“These devices are causing sleep procrastination (拖延),” says Matthew Walker, a professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of California, Berkeley.
“Sending a text message, posting something on Facebook or checking your e-mail means you are waiting for a response and revs_up your emotional nervous system.”
Ben Carter, a professor at King's College London, conducted a review of 20 studies into the effect of technology on children's sleep patterns, finding even those who did not use phones or other devices before bed but had them in their bedrooms, slept less deeply than those who left their devices in another room.
“It is perhaps the biggest unaddressed public health problem of our time. Sleep is necessary for a wide range of functions that serve our health and well-being,” says Colin Espie, professor of sleep medicine at the University of Oxford.
Yet surprisingly, Walker says technology itself may hold the answer to control our sleep. There are already many devices on the market that claim to monitor and aid people in sleeping. And Walker hopes to use machine-learning technology to produce new ways to help those who are not sleeping properly.
8.What does the author think of smartphones and laptops compared with TV
A.They work in a more active way.
B.They consume less of our time.
C.They have more positive effects.
D.They do less harm to our health.
9.What does the underlined part “revs up” in Paragraph 6 probably mean
A.Makes something stop working.
B.Makes something function normally.
C.Makes something operate more quickly.
D.Makes something develop more steadily.
10.What's Colin Espie's attitude to using electronic devices
A.Favorable. B.Opposed.
C.Unconcerned. D.Ambiguous.
11.What can we learn from the text
A.Many people rely on electronic devices to fall asleep.
B.Ben Carter studied different age groups' sleep patterns.
C.The use of electronic devices may make people eat more.
D.Just the presence of electronic devices may affect one's sleep.
D
Many studies have shown how playing video games can lead to structural changes in the brain, including increasing the size of some regions, or to functional changes, such as activating the areas responsible for attention.New research from the University at Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) has gone further to show how cognitive changes can take place even years after people stop playing.
The study involved 27 people between the ages of 18 and 40 with and without any kind of experience with video gaming.
“People who were video gamers before adolescence, despite no longer playing, performed better with the working memory tasks, which require mentally holding and processing information to get a result,” said Marc Palaus, the author of the study.
The results show that people without experience of playing video games as a child did not benefit from improvements in processing and avoiding irrelevant stimuli.Indeed, they were slower than those who had played games as children, which matched what had been seen in earlier studies.
“People who played regularly as children performed better from the outset in processing 3D objects, although these differences were narrowed after the period of training in video gaming, when both groups showed similar levels,” said Palaus.
The study lasted a month and the researchers analyzed participants' cognitive skills, including working memory, at three points: before starting the training in video gaming, at the end of the training, and fifteen days later.The video game used was Nintendo's Super Mario 64.
According to Palaus, what most video games have in common is that they involve elements that make people want to continue playing, and that they gradually get harder and present a constant challenge.“These two things are enough to make it an attractive and motivating activity, which, in turn, requires constant and intense use of our brain's resources.”
“Video games are a perfect recipe for strengthening our cognitive skills, almost without our noticing.However, it's not the reason for playing too much,” he said.
12.What can be learned about the study
A.It looks at different games.
B.It is aimed at adult gamers.
C.Its participants are adults.
D.Its author likes playing games.
13.How did people playing no video games as children behave in the study
A.They tended to ignore irrelevant stimuli.
B.They failed to physically hold 3D objects.
C.They performed very slowly after training.
D.They did worse in working memory tasks.
14.What may Marc Palaus suggest doing
A.Finding recipes for better cognitive skills.
B.Avoiding getting addicted to video games.
C.Trying less challenging video games.
D.Forbidding video games for the young.
15.What is the best title for the text
A.Playing Video Games as Kids Can Cause Changes in Brain
B.Video Gamers Memorize Information Much More Quickly
C.Video Games Help to Improve Children's Working Memory
D.Playing Video Games Benefits Cognitive Skills Even Years Later
