A
As an undergraduate in Mumbai, India, Saad Bhamla wanted to do something rewarding for his grandparents. The problem was, his grandparents suffered from age related hearing loss and desperately needed hearing aids. Saad's heart sank when he discovered that the prices were shockingly high and far beyond his means.
Determined to find a solution, he devoted himself to his studies and research. Now, 15 years later, the professor has invented a device to help the old across the globe: a cheap hearing aid. The practical device, described in a new study, could help restore hearing to millions suffering from age related hearing loss for less than the price of a bottle of water.
The device is the size of a matchbox and can be worn like a necklace. At bulk(批量) rates, Bhamla says, it would cost just under $1 to make.
In low and middle income countries, only 3% of people with age related hearing loss wear hearing aids, and in countries like the United States, the adoption rate hovers(徘徊) at about 20%, according to Bhamla. Aside from concerns about cost, Bhamla says, “A lot of people don't realize they have hearing loss and then there is the social prejudice of wearing the aid. Those with the aids would be looked down upon.”
Bhamla added, “If these cost effective devices were put into use, they could benefit many people. In theory, if hearing problems are alleviated(缓解), people's cognitive pathways will be changed, the risk of Alzheimer's disease reduced.”
Bhamla wants biomedical devices to be as cheap and accessible as consumer electronics. He still remembers the experience of learning that he couldn't afford to help his grandparents. “I thought owning a laptop and a cellphone meant I had the means to purchase hearing aids, but then I realized how expensive they were，” he recalls. “So I understood the world more clearly.”
( ) 1. What does the underlined word “restore” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Damage. B. Recover. C. Repeat. D. Remember.
( ) 2. Which is NOT the reason for a low percentage of hearing aids adoption around the world
A. Some people are unaware of their hearing loss.
B. Some people are concerned about the high price.
C. Some people take no notice of social prejudice.
D. Some people are afraid of being looked down upon.
( ) 3. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Bhamla wants to make a lot of money from his invention.
B. Bhamla wants to make hearing aids affordable for people.
C. Bhamla was unwilling to buy hearing aids for his grandparents.
D. Bhamla started to understand the meaning of owning hearing aids.
( ) 4. What kind of person is Saad Bhamla
A. Persistent and creative. B. Stubborn and proud.
C. Independent and easy going. D. Intelligent and honest.
B
Research shows that isolation(隔绝) is bad for us and connected with certain diseases including depression, high blood pressure and heart disease. Yet teenagers look for isolation by using the device of our times—a screen, screens of all kinds. However, in whatever form, screens are addictive(使人上瘾的), and addictive from an early age. Research has shown that given the chance, six month old babies prefer screens to real human faces.
Hand in hand with this addiction to screens, we are seeing an increase of teenage mental health problems. Social media claims to be inclusive(包容的), keeping you connected. But it's not. It isolates you from real people. Screens have even been described as being poisonous for teenagers.
Psychologist Jean Twenge, a professor at San Diego State University, believes today's teenagers are “on the edge” of a major mental health crisis and requests “do anything that doesn't connect with a screen”. The problem is, she claims, children born between 1995 and 2012 have grown up with a smartphone in their hands, and it has “changed every aspect” of their lives. The number of teenagers who really see their friends very often has dropped by more than 40% since 2000. In 2015, only 56% of 17 year olds went on a date, down from 85%. Modern teenagers are slower to learn to drive, or earn money and spend more time at home. They're “on their phone, in their room, alone and often depressed”， she says.
Some critics(评论家), however, say we should encourage our children to spend more time online. Robert Hannigan, former director of GCHQ, said in August that Britain is badly short of engineers and computer scientists, and encouraged children to develop cyber skills to compete in the digital industry.
I'm not the first to say that social media is worse than real human communication, and harms mental health. Studies show teens who spend three hours a day online are 35% more likely to commit suicide(自杀). The suicide rate among girls aged 12 to 14 has more than doubled in a decade.
( ) 5. Why does Jean Twenge call on teens to surf online less
A. Social media is inclusive and keeps them connected.
B. Social media has changed every aspect of their lives.
C. Social media does great harm to their eyesight.
D. Social media is addictive and leads to mental problems.
( ) 6. Robert Hannigan may agree that we should________．
A. allow teens to isolate themselves from real social contact
B. call on teens to do anything that doesn't involve a screen
C. urge children to contact people face to face instead of online
D. encourage children to spend more time on the Internet
( ) 7. What is the author's attitude towards social media
A. Objective. B. Disapproving. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive.
( ) 8. What may be the best title for the text
A. Teenagers looking for isolation using screens
B. Social media causing teenagers health problems
C. Teenagers' heavy addiction to social media
D. Different opinions on social media use
Ⅲ. 语法填空。

So far, the “new four great inventions” 2.________(improve) the quality of people's lives. Thanks to online shopping and mobile payment, people can buy what they want 3.________(simple) with a tap on the phone indoors. High speed trains have shortened 4.________ journey from Beijing to the coastal city Tianjin to half an hour. As for the bikes, they themselves are not new. It is the operating model of bike sharing 5.________(base) on the satellite navigation(导航) system, mobile payment as well as big data 6.________ has surprised the world. Shared bicycles are bringing cycling back 7.________ people's lives and they are making public transport more 8.________ (attract).
