International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is seen as a window into the inventions that will change our lives in the years ahead. Here are some of the best inventions making the headlines from this year’s show.
The virtual fence for your wandering dog
This $1,495 GPS-enabled dog collar lets you “draw” a boundary anywhere, including your home, the houses of friends, a campsite or a park. If the dog escapes, the GPS alerts you via a mobile phone app and helps you track and find it, even in remote areas like woodland.
The robot that brings you toilet paper
Consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble’s toilet paper brand, Charmin, has shown a two-wheeled robot designed to save its owner at the most important moment. The “RollBot” is ordered by a smart phone using Bluetooth and uses technology similar to a robot cleaner to navigate to its owner, carrying a precious spare roll.
Wearable camera boosting hearing aids
Hearing aids can struggle to isolate (分离) sounds, often strengthening background noise as well as a person’s voice. The Hear, a wearable camera made by Israeli tech company OrCam, uses artificial intelligence to identify the person who is speaking and then employ lip reading technology to isolate the sound of their voice, making it easier for those with hearing difficulties to understand them.
Solar-powered electric tricycle
French start-up Wello has displayed a vehicle that lies somewhere between an electric car and a bicycle, showing a solar-powered electric tricycle. The vehicle is pedal-assisted, so it doesn’t need a driving license and can travel in bike lanes, but can reach a top speed of 25 miles per hour.
1. How does the dog collar work
A. By limiting your dog to a boundary anywhere.
B. By tracking and finding your dog through an app.
C. By using Bluetooth to find where your dog hides.
D. By providing more information about your dog for the police.
2. What can we know about the Hear
A. It can bring you toilet paper.
B. It appeals to people who are visually challenged.
C. It strengthens background noise as well as a person’s voice.
D. It has an advantage over traditional hearing aids in isolating sounds.
3. What do the four inventions have in common
A. They are all helpful in improving people’s lives.
B. They are all designed for senior people.
C. They are all environment-friendly.
D. They are all solar-powered.

Multiple actions have been taken to fight food waste, but one young man is making a big difference with technology. Liu Jichen, a student from Tsinghua University, has developed a WeChat mini-program called “Clear Your Plate”.
After a meal, users can open the mini-program and take a picture of their empty plates. Once the image is recognized by the AI, students can collect points and use them to buy gifts or purchase charity meals donated to children in poor areas.
The idea came from Liu’s experience in a canteen where he found that diners finishing their food could get a card and then small gifts with a certain number of cards collected.
“Technological innovation is a good way to reduce food waste and contribute to global food challenges.” Liu thought. With this in mind, he organized a team of 20 members to work on the project in 2017. To solve the AI’s problem of identifying photos of empty plates, the team spent half a year collecting over 100,000 samples in canteens and restaurants. In 2018, the mini-program was officially put into operation on Oct 16, World Food Day.
This year, the one-month campaign has attracted almost 1.6 million participants and collectively reduced food waste by 862 tons and carbon emissions by 3,337 tons.
“There were so many unknowns in research and development. For us, the biggest psychological challenge was whether we were confident enough to complete it,” Liu said. However, they not only achieved their goal, but now, the mini-program has more than 5 million registered users.
Thanks to his actions concerning social issues, Liu Jichen was inducted into the 2020 Class of Young Leaders for the Sustainable Development Goals in September.
4. What is true about the “Clear Your Plate” mini-program
A. It inspires people to make money. B. It aims to encourage people to treasure food.
C. It has helped reduce food waste by 3,337 tons. D. It offers people cards and small gifts as a reward.
5. What was their biggest psychological challenge during the process
A. They lacked professional technical support. B. They found it tough to promote the campaign.
C. They had difficulty gathering enough samples. D. They felt uncertain about completing the project.
6. Which of the following best describes Liu Jichen
A. Optimistic and cautious. B. Generous and responsible.
C. Talented and humorous. D. Creative and determined.
7 What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. Learn from Liu Jichen B. The Power of AI Technology

WUHAN, China (Reuters) — Large crowds took to the streets at midnight on Friday in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, celebrating the arrival of 2021 after a year scarred by a deadly pandemic (大流行) that killed thousands there and required the city to be locked down between the end of January and early April.
According to the tradition, hundreds gathered in front of the old Hankow Customs House building, one of the city’s most popular New Year’s Eve spots. When the building’s old clock reached midnight many people released balloons into the air, cheered and called out “happy new year” .
“I’m so so so incredibly happy,” said 20-year-old student and tourist Yang Wenxuan. “This is my first time in Wuhan. But it was so amazing.”
“I hope that I can successfully obtain my bachelor degree and I hope I can find a boyfriend,” Yang added.
There was a heavy police presence and strict crowd control. Some security personnel were seen telling several of the few people without masks that they must put one on if they wished to stay. Still, the countdown appeared to proceed peacefully, in a relaxed atmosphere.
The festivities came 12 months after the World Health Organization (WHO) said it first received word of cases of a pneumonia (肺炎) of an unknown cause in Wuhan, which later became known as the world’s first outbreak of COVID-19. A team of WHO experts is scheduled to arrive in China in January 2021 to find out the origins of the pandemic.
Wuhan has been largely virus free for months. But a recent small rise in cases in various Chinese cities, including Beijing, has reminded people in Wuhan that the pandemic is not over yet.
8. What is the passage mainly about
A. A pandemic having killed thousands. B. A college girl looking for a boyfriend.
C. A thrilling new year celebration in Wuhan. D. A lock-down to stop the spreading of the virus.
9. What does the tourist want to convey with the 3 “so”s in Paragraph 3
A. Anxiety. B. Disappointment. C. Regret. D. Excitement.
10. What can we tell from the last 3 paragraphs
A. Security was a big concern among the people.
B. The origin of COVID-19 is yet to be identified.
C. People in Wuhan are no longer bothered by the disease.
D. The pandemic is going back to Wuhan from other parts of China.
11. Where can we most probably read the passage
A. A textbook. B. A newspaper. C. A guidebook. D. A magazine.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. B

A new study has found that ride-sharing services result in much more air pollution than other kinds of private and public transportation, and they also draw passengers away from more environmentally friendly methods of travel, like public transportation, walking or biking.
Several studies have suggested that ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft can worsen traffic problems in cities. The new study attempts to center on how ride-sharing services affect air pollution. It examined the effects of ride-sharing services on 7 of America’s largest cities. Overall, the researchers reported that ride-sharing trips result in an estimated 69% more air pollution on average than the trips they displace. One of the big reasons is that ride-sharing vehicles are often driven without passengers in. This happens when drivers are either waiting for ride requests or on the way to pick up passengers.
This situation, known as “deadheading”, takes up about 42% of all ride-sharing driving. The researchers said that deadheading results in about 50% more carbon dioxide than one person driving in a private vehicle.
Both Uber and Lyft do offer a choice of a “pooled” ride, which involves drivers picking up additional riders during the same trip. The study urges services like Uber and Lyft to work to increase the number of pooled rides and electric vehicles on the road, and improve connections to public transportation centers.
Uber made no comment on the latest report, but the company said it aims to be part of the solution to address climate change by working directly with cities, adding that it will continue to promote pooled trips and other means of transportation. Lyft said that the study made misleading claims about ride-sharing although it shared the practice of increasing the number of pooled rides and putting more electric vehicles in service.
Both companies have already operated businesses that offer electric scooters and bikes and have begun to include public transportation information in their systems.
12. What’s known about ride-sharing services before the new study
A. They are more popular with passengers than public transportation.
B. They provide a more efficient means of transportation.
C. They waste a lot of time waiting for ride requests.
D. They make traffic problems in cities even worse.
13. How do ride-sharing vehicles cause more air pollution
A. They use too much fuel to operate.
B. They are used by too many people.
C. They are often driven with no passengers.
D. They don’t have public transportation information.
14. What is Lyft’s attitude towards the finding of the new study
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Approving. D. Indifferent.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Both Uber and Lyft pay little attention to the result of the study.
B. Ride-sharing business will be canceled in more countries.
C. Ride-sharing services will become greener in the future.
D. Riding bikes is the solution to urban traffic problems.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现拼车服务造成的空气污染要严重得多，并详细介绍了造成这种现象的原因和带来的影响。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第二段中“Several studies have suggested that ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft can worsen traffic problems in cities. (几项研究表明，像优步和Lyft这样的拼车服务可能会加剧城市的交通问题。)”可知，在这项新研究之前，人们已经认识到拼车服务使城市的交通问题更加严重。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Overall, the researchers reported that ride-sharing trips result in an estimated 69% more air pollution on average than the trips they displace. One of the big reasons is that ride-sharing vehicles are often driven without passengers in. This happens when drivers are either waiting for ride requests or on the way to pick up passengers. (总体而言，研究人员报告称，拼车出行造成的空气污染平均比它们取代的出行多69%。其中一个重要原因是，拼车车辆通常在没有乘客的情况下行驶。这种情况发生在司机等待乘车请求或在接乘客的路上。)”可知，司机经常在没有乘客的情况下驾驶，从而造成更多空气污染。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第五段中“Lyft said that the study made misleading claims about ride-sharing although it shared the practice of increasing the number of pooled rides and putting more electric vehicles in service. (Lyft表示，该研究对拼车服务提出了误导性的说法，尽管它也提出了增加拼车数量和投入更多电动汽车的做法。)”可知，Lyft对这项新研究的发现持否定的态度。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Both companies have already operated businesses that offer electric scooters and bikes and have begun to include public transportation information in their systems. (两家公司都已经开始提供电动滑板车和自行车，并开始将公共交通信息纳入自己的系统。)”可知，两家公司都已经开始采取措施，故拼车服务在未来将变得更加环保。故选C。

International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is seen as a window into the inventions that will change our lives in the years ahead. Here are some of the best inventions making the headlines from this year’s show.
The virtual fence for your wandering dog
This $1,495 GPS-enabled dog collar lets you “draw” a boundary anywhere, including your home, the houses of friends, a campsite or a park. If the dog escapes, the GPS alerts you via a mobile phone app and helps you track and find it, even in remote areas like woodland.
The robot that brings you toilet paper
Consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble’s toilet paper brand, Charmin, has shown a two-wheeled robot designed to save its owner at the most important moment. The “RollBot” is ordered by a smart phone using Bluetooth and uses technology similar to a robot cleaner to navigate to its owner, carrying a precious spare roll.
Wearable camera boosting hearing aids
Hearing aids can struggle to isolate (分离) sounds, often strengthening background noise as well as a person’s voice. The Hear, a wearable camera made by Israeli tech company OrCam, uses artificial intelligence to identify the person who is speaking and then employ lip reading technology to isolate the sound of their voice, making it easier for those with hearing difficulties to understand them.
Solar-powered electric tricycle
French start-up Wello has displayed a vehicle that lies somewhere between an electric car and a bicycle, showing a solar-powered electric tricycle. The vehicle is pedal-assisted, so it doesn’t need a driving license and can travel in bike lanes, but can reach a top speed of 25 miles per hour.
1 How does the dog collar work
A. By limiting your dog to a boundary anywhere.
B. By tracking and finding your dog through an app.
C. By using Bluetooth to find where your dog hides.
D. By providing more information about your dog for the police.
2. What can we know about the Hear
A. It can bring you toilet paper.
B. It appeals to people who are visually challenged.
C. It strengthens background noise as well as a person’s voice.
D. It has an advantage over traditional hearing aids in isolating sounds.
3. What do the four inventions have in common
A. They are all helpful in improving people’s lives.
B. They are all designed for senior people.
C. They are all environment-friendly.
D. They are all solar-powered.

Multiple actions have been taken to fight food waste, but one young man is making a big difference with technology. Liu Jichen, a student from Tsinghua University, has developed a WeChat mini-program called “Clear Your Plate”.
After a meal, users can open the mini-program and take a picture of their empty plates. Once the image is recognized by the AI, students can collect points and use them to buy gifts or purchase charity meals donated to children in poor areas.
The idea came from Liu’s experience in a canteen where he found that diners finishing their food could get a card and then small gifts with a certain number of cards collected.
“Technological innovation is a good way to reduce food waste and contribute to global food challenges.” Liu thought. With this in mind, he organized a team of 20 members to work on the project in 2017. To solve the AI’s problem of identifying photos of empty plates, the team spent half a year collecting over 100,000 samples in canteens and restaurants. In 2018, the mini-program was officially put into operation on Oct 16, World Food Day.
This year, the one-month campaign has attracted almost 1.6 million participants and collectively reduced food waste by 862 tons and carbon emissions by 3,337 tons.
“There were so many unknowns in research and development. For us, the biggest psychological challenge was whether we were confident enough to complete it,” Liu said. However, they not only achieved their goal, but now, the mini-program has more than 5 million registered users.
Thanks to his actions concerning social issues, Liu Jichen was inducted into the 2020 Class of Young Leaders for the Sustainable Development Goals in September.
4. What is true about the “Clear Your Plate” mini-program
A. It inspires people to make money. B. It aims to encourage people to treasure food.
C. It has helped reduce food waste by 3,337 tons. D. It offers people cards and small gifts as a reward.
5. What was their biggest psychological challenge during the process
A. They lacked professional technical support. B. They found it tough to promote the campaign.
C. They had difficulty gathering enough samples. D. They felt uncertain about completing the project.
6. Which of the following best describes Liu Jichen
A. Optimistic and cautious. B. Generous and responsible.
C. Talented and humorous. D. Creative and determined.
7. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. Learn from Liu Jichen B. The Power of AI Technology
C. Clear Your Plate with Technology D. Actions to Fight against Food Waste
C
WUHAN, China (Reuters) — Large crowds took to the streets at midnight on Friday in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, celebrating the arrival of 2021 after a year scarred by a deadly pandemic (大流行) that killed thousands there and required the city to be locked down between the end of January and early April.
According to the tradition, hundreds gathered in front of the old Hankow Customs House building, one of the city’s most popular New Year’s Eve spots. When the building’s old clock reached midnight many people released balloons into the air, cheered and called out “happy new year” .
“I’m so so so incredibly happy,” said 20-year-old student and tourist Yang Wenxuan. “This is my first time in Wuhan. But it was so amazing.”
“I hope that I can successfully obtain my bachelor degree and I hope I can find a boyfriend,” Yang added.
There was a heavy police presence and strict crowd control. Some security personnel were seen telling several of the few people without masks that they must put one on if they wished to stay. Still, the countdown appeared to proceed peacefully, in a relaxed atmosphere.
The festivities came 12 months after the World Health Organization (WHO) said it first received word of cases of a pneumonia (肺炎) of an unknown cause in Wuhan, which later became known as the world’s first outbreak of COVID-19. A team of WHO experts is scheduled to arrive in China in January 2021 to find out the origins of the pandemic.
Wuhan has been largely virus free for months. But a recent small rise in cases in various Chinese cities, including Beijing, has reminded people in Wuhan that the pandemic is not over yet.
8. What is the passage mainly about
A. A pandemic having killed thousands. B. A college girl looking for a boyfriend.
C. A thrilling new year celebration in Wuhan. D. A lock-down to stop the spreading of the virus.
9. What does the tourist want to convey with the 3 “so”s in Paragraph 3
A. Anxiety. B. Disappointment. C. Regret. D. Excitement.
10. What can we tell from the last 3 paragraphs
A. Security was a big concern among the people.
B. The origin of COVID-19 is yet to be identified.
C. People in Wuhan are no longer bothered by the disease.
D. The pandemic is going back to Wuhan from other parts of China.
11. Where can we most probably read the passage
A. A textbook. B. A newspaper. C. A guidebook. D. A magazine.
D
A new study has found that ride-sharing services result in much more air pollution than other kinds of private and public transportation, and they also draw passengers away from more environmentally friendly methods of travel, like public transportation, walking or biking.
Several studies have suggested that ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft can worsen traffic problems in cities. The new study attempts to center on how ride-sharing services affect air pollution. It examined the effects of ride-sharing services on 7 of America’s largest cities. Overall, the researchers reported that ride-sharing trips result in an estimated 69% more air pollution on average than the trips they displace. One of the big reasons is that ride-sharing vehicles are often driven without passengers in. This happens when drivers are either waiting for ride requests or on the way to pick up passengers.
This situation, known as “deadheading”, takes up about 42% of all ride-sharing driving. The researchers said that deadheading results in about 50% more carbon dioxide than one person driving in a private vehicle.
Both Uber and Lyft do offer a choice of a “pooled” ride, which involves drivers picking up additional riders during the same trip. The study urges services like Uber and Lyft to work to increase the number of pooled rides and electric vehicles on the road, and improve connections to public transportation centers.
Uber made no comment on the latest report, but the company said it aims to be part of the solution to address climate change by working directly with cities, adding that it will continue to promote pooled trips and other means of transportation. Lyft said that the study made misleading claims about ride-sharing although it shared the practice of increasing the number of pooled rides and putting more electric vehicles in service.
Both companies have already operated businesses that offer electric scooters and bikes and have begun to include public transportation information in their systems.
12 What’s known about ride-sharing services before the new study
A. They are more popular with passengers than public transportation.
B. They provide a more efficient means of transportation.
C. They waste a lot of time waiting for ride requests.
D They make traffic problems in cities even worse.
13. How do ride-sharing vehicles cause more air pollution
A. They use too much fuel to operate.
B. They are used by too many people.
C. They are often driven with no passengers.
D. They don’t have public transportation information.
14. What is Lyft’s attitude towards the finding of the new study
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Approving. D. Indifferent.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Both Uber and Lyft pay little attention to the result of the study.
B. Ride-sharing business will be canceled in more countries.
C. Ride-sharing services will become greener in the future.
D. Riding bikes is the solution to urban traffic problems.

Charming People Give You Their Undivided Attention
Stop to think about two or three likable people you know.
