Las Vegas CES Report
Each year people who are crazy about high-tech goods and tools head to Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronic Show (CES). Below we have listed some of the latest and greatest things that we saw.
The AI-powered suitcase
If you’re the kind of person who comes out of the airport coffee shop and realise 10 minutes later that you’ve left your suitcase there, the AI-powered suitcase is for you.
With five cameras in its handle, it comes with a special wristband (腕带) that you wear, so if you move too far away from the suitcase’s cameras, the wristband vibrates (震动), and the suitcase follows the vibrates.
The solar-powered stove
Advertised as “fast”, “practical” and “fuel-free”, this special stove will cook your food with solar power only. The food is placed in a vacuum tube within a solar-powered device. The stoves come in different sizes; there is even a size that you can comfortably take with you if you go hiking.
The smell-based alarm clock
Created in France, where people enjoy the finer things in life, this alarm will wake people with the sweet smells they enjoy. The producers believe that they will make your mornings happier with a sweet wake-up smell: baked croissant, expresso coffee, the seaside, chocolate…
The dual-system TV
TCL knows that good software is the key to success when it comes to consumer TVs. This year’s models will come with the option for either Android or Roku OS, allowing you to choose which of the two best TV operating systems you prefer.
21. What can we know about an AI-powered suitcase

D. It will tell you the distance you move.

Everyone tries their best in life, and sometimes a few kind words of encouragement can help people realize that their efforts are not in vain (徒劳). I remember a time when I was in fifth grade, and I was a very shy girl.
There was a drawing competition at my school that day. As everyone started to use their creative ideas to draw, I was only trying to think of something creative that could express my thoughts and emotions. Lost in my own world, I was brought back to reality when my art teacher called my name from behind. She came to me and encouraged me, saying, “Don’t overthink it, just put whatever comes to your mind on the canvas (画布). Do your best, and you will do well.”
Taking her words of wisdom to heart, I started my painting. Time flew by, and soon the bell rang, signaling the end of the time limit. We all turned in our canvases for inspection (检查). The next day, the winners of the competition were announced in front of the whole school. To my surprise, I heard my name being called second prize. It was a bolt from the blue for me, as I had never dared to dream of winning any prize.
Later on, I expressed my gratitude to my art teacher for her words of encouragement and for believing in me. That day, I became aware of my talent and started painting more whenever I had free time. Sometimes, I think that if it weren’t for her words of encouragement, I may have never discovered the talent I have.
Overall, this experience taught me the importance of encouraging others and how a few kind words can make a significant impact on someone’s life.
24. What was the author doing when called by the art teacher
A. Organizing a drawing competition. B. Trying to get some creative ideas.
C. Painting her work on her canvas. D. Trying to get help from others.
25. What did the author think of the competition
A. Easy. B. Interesting. C. Challenging. D. Encouraging.
26. What do the underlined words “bolt from the blue” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Addiction. B. Puzzlement. C. Disappointment. D. Surprise.
27. What message does the text intend to convey
A. The power of encouragement can be huge.
B. The importance of art competitions is easy to see.
C. Overcoming shyness through painting is worth trying.
D. Discovering your great natural ability is the key to success.
C
Cristina Mittermeier is a marine biologist, activist and multi-award-winning photographer who has given her life to ocean protection. Recognised as being one of the world’s most influential conservation photographers, Cristina has travelled to 132 countries to achieve her goal – to communicate the immediate need to protect wild places.
She began her career as a marine biologist, but soon realised that she could better work for the interests of the oceans and the planet through her camera than with scientific data. In her eyes, science is basic to understanding what is happening to our planet, but it fails to convey (传递) the emotions that make us care.
According to Cristina, photography allows us to humanise (使人性化) stories and create something meaningful, and she had an urgent need to share the difficult situation of the planet. For her, it’s all about the emotional connections we can establish with the subject matter. She loves creating pictures that engages people in conversations and makes them stop and think. Establishing a successful career as a photographer has not been an easy journey. She worked hard at teaching herself the basics of photography and then she went back to school to learn more about the underpinnings of fine art.
When asked what has inspired her focus on marine life, she replied, “The ocean is barely mentioned but it is the largest ecosystem on our planet and is the ecosystem that has the most influence on Earth. It absorbs at least 25% of all emissions and most of the heat on our planet. I want people to recognise that the ocean isn’t just hurt by climate change – it is our solution. If our oceans die-and they are dying-we will die with them. Life on Earth is not possible without a living ocean.”
28. What goal did Cristina intend to achieve in her travels
A. To take more wonderful pictures.
B. To urge people to protect the wild places.
C. To work for the non-for-profit organization.
D. To become the world’s most influential photographer.
29. What makes Cristina think she can better work as a photographer
A. She was bored with her career as a marine biologist.
B. She can’t understand what is happening to our planet.
C. She can convey emotional information through her camera.
D. She wants to establish a successful career as a photographer.
30. Why does Cristina focus on the ocean
A. Because of the marine life.
B. Because of the great emissions.
C. Because of her love for the ocean.
D. Because of the ocean’s importance.
31. Which of the following can best describe Cristina
A. Powerful. B. Patient. C. Responsible. D. Intelligent.
D
Many areas of the world suffer from low rainfall, and with climate change, the water shortage (短缺) is increasingly becoming a problem in some places. So more and more people, companies and governments are now looking for ways to make houses completely self-sufficient in water－providing it and dealing with it themselves.
In some houses in rural areas of Australia, the owners are doing exactly this. Although the houses are in a suburb called Gelorup, only 10 kilometres from the city of Bunbury, they do not have water supplied to them. Instead, water is collected on the roof and from the channels (排水沟) and then run into underground pipes that lead to a large water tank (箱). From the tank the water purified (净化) in the underground system is sent back to the house to meet all household needs from drinking to cleaning toilets. Because of this, no one in the households can use strong chemicals for cleaning and washing.
We produce different kinds of water waste from our homes. Black water is the waste water that comes from our toilets, but most of our waste water is actually grey water. This is the waste water produced by people having showers or baths, washing their hands or faces in the sink, and washing their clothes or dishes. However, while grey water is not drinkable, there are many ways in which it can be reused around the home. With water recycling systems, grey water can be collected and made safe enough to use on gardens and for cleaning toilets.
The process of treating and transporting water produces large amounts of carbon emissions. So if we all began to recycle our grey water, it could radically reduce the impact on the environment. The use of water recycling systems would also help with the problems of water shortage faced in many areas of the world. Water recycling, it seems, must have an important place in our future.
32. What information does paragraph 2 mainly tell us
A. Why the water should be recycled.
B. How the water recycling system works.
C. What difficulties the house owners are facing.
D. Why strong chemicals may be used for cleaning and washing.
33. What can we do to deal with the waste water
A. We should know the different kinds of waste water.
B. We should reduce it by not having showers or baths.
C. We should find some ways to reuse the recyclable waste water.
D. We should drink the waste water purified by water recycling systems.
34. Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word in the last paragraph
A. greatly B. creatively C. likely D. regularly
35. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A. Water recycling: the way of the future
B. Saving water: the immediate need
C. House owners: the different choice
D. Grey water: the most important point

The Origin of Trick-or-treat
On October 31, hordes of children armed with Jack-o’-lantern-shaped buckets and pillow cases will take to the streets in 66 of sugar. Trick-or-treating for candy is equivalent to Halloween, but the 67 had to go through a centuries-long evolution (发展) to arrive at the place it is today. So how did the holiday become a chance for kids to get free sweets You can blame pagans (异教徒), Catholics, and candy companies.
Historians agree that a Celtic autumn festival called Samhain (萨温节) was the origin of modern Halloween. Samhain was a time to 68 the day symbolizing the last harvest of the year and the approach of the winter season. It was also a festival showing 69 to the dead. One way Celtics may have appeased (安抚) the spirits they believed still walked the Earth was by leaving treats on their doorsteps. When Catholics invaded Ireland in the 1st century CE, they rebranded (重塑) many pagan holidays to 70 their religion. November 1st became the “feasts of All Saints and All Souls,” and the day before it was dubbed “All-Hallows-Eve.” The new holidays looked a lot different from the original Celtic festival, but many traditions 71 around, including the practice of offering food to the dead. The food of choice for Christians became “soul cakes,” small pastries usually baked with expensive 72 and spices like currants and saffron.
Instead of leaving them outside for passing ghosts, soul cakes were given to beggars who went door-to-door promising to pray for souls of the deceased (已故的) in 73 for something to eat. Sometimes they wore costumes to honour the saints—something pagans originally did to avoid being disturbed by evil spirits. The ritual, known as “souling”, is believed to have planted the seeds for modern-day trick-or-treating.
It wasn’t until the 1950s that trick-or-treat gained popularity in the US. Following the Great Depression and World WarⅡ, the suburbs were booming, and people were looking for more 74 to have fun and get to know their neighbours. The old practice of souling made a comeback and gave kids a chance to dress up in costumes and walk around their mon trick-or-treat offerings included nuts, coins, and homemade baked goods (“treats” that most kids would turn their noses up at today).
二、单句语法填空。
76. We’ll listen to your problems and offer you practical (advise).
77. It (annoy) me when I saw people littering.
78. Summer sees the mountains turn bright green with (grow) rice.
79. Those without outside space can rent small pieces of land on to grow things.
80. It was in the park I met an old friend.
