Now scientists have found a better way to rouse slumbering youngsters. Researchers in the US have discovered that playing a child a recording of his mothers voice is about three times more likely to wake him up than a traditional alarm.Writing in the Journal of Pediatrics, Smith and colleagues report how they compared the effects of four different smoke alarms on 176 children aged between 5 and 12 years old, none of whom had hearing difficulties or were taking any medication that affected their sleep. While one alarm featured a high pitched beeps he sort of commonly found in households the other three featured the voice of the childs mother calling either the childs name, giving instructions such as: Wake up! Leave the room or both. Each child slept in a lab-based room that resembled a real bedroom.The results show that vocal alarms appear to be more effective than high-pitched beeps. About 90% of children woke for a voice alarm compared with just over 53% for the traditional alarmHigh pitched beeping alarms dont wake up children well at all under about 12 years of age. Said Dr Gary Smith, a co-author of the research from the Nationwide Childrens hospital in Ohio, although he said at present it is not known why He said it was important to look at developing better alarmsProf Niamh Nic Daeid, director of the Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science at the University of Dundee, said the research found a human voice combined with a low frequency pulsing tone was far more effective in waking up children than a traditional high-pitched alarm. She also noted that more work was needed to explore whether other familiar sounds, such as a dog barking, might also prove effective in rousing children.（1）What does the underlined word slumbering mean in Paragraph 1? A . restingB . sleepingC . lyingD . waking（2）Which of the following statements about the research is NOTTRUE? A . In the research, no kids had taken medicine with sleeping effect.B . 176 children were required to hear 4 different kinds of alarms.C . During the research, high pitched beeping alarm was used.D . Each kid slept in a real bedroom.（3）Why is it difficult to wake up kids under about 12 years of age with high pitched beeping alarm? A . Because high pitched beeping alarms are not so effective as voice alarms.B . Because high pitched beeping alarms are three times more likely to rouse kids.C . Because voice alarm is a better developed alarm.D . It is unknown so far.（4）What can we infer from the last paragraph? A . A human voice with a low-frequency pulsing tone was more effective.B . The sound of dog-barking is more effective in rousing childrenC . Other familiar sounds might be found effective in waking up kids.D . Traditional smoke alarm is no use at all（5）Which of the following do you think is the best title of the passage? A . Mothers voice more effective in fire alarmsB . Say NO to high pitched beeping alarmsC . Sleeping in high pitched beeping alarmsD . How to develop a better alarm17. （10分）阅读理解Ive never been much good at languagesBut next month，Im travelling to the Congo，a country in Central AfricaSo I want to know enough Lingalaone of the local languagesto talk with people thereI wasnt sure how l was going to learn it till I found Memrise，an app that is a helpful tool(工具)for language learningPeople often stop learning things because they get frustrated They feel theyre not making progress or because it feels like too much hard worksays Ed Cooke，one of the people who created MemriseWere trying to create an app that is fun and is something youd want to useMemrise is funIt gives you a few new words to learn and these areseeds (种子)which you plant in yourgreenhouseWhen you practise the words,youwater your plantsand they growWhen the app believes that you have already remembered a wordit moves the word to yourgardenYou get points as your garden grows，so you can compare yourself to other Memrise usersAnd if you have been away from Memrise for too longthe app will send you emails that remind (提醒) you towater your plantsThe app uses two principles(原则)about learningThe first is that people remember things better when they relate(联系起来)them to pictures in their mindMemrise translates words into your own language，but it also encourages you to usememspictures that help you remember new wordsThe second principle is that people need to stop after studying words and then repeat(重复)them again laterMemrise helps you with thisIt not only offers you a number of lessons to learn,but also tells you when you should go over these lessons to improve your memoryMemrise really helps me a lotIve learnt hundreds of Lingala words with itI hope lll be able to do more than just smile when I meet people in the Congo根据材料内容选择最佳答案。（1）The writer wants to learn Lingala because he A . wants to try MemriseB . has a penfriend who speaks itC . is interested in African cultureD . will travel to the Congo next month（2）What does the underlined wordfrustratedin Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese?

You dont need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you. Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that cant be bought with money.When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cant always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.Information CardWho can have happiness?_When you do something wrong people_ will help you to correct it.Your friends will say congratulations to you when you get_.Even if you are poor you can_ You can see that happiness is always around you if you_24. （6分）从方框中选择合适的句子填入短文中的空格中，使短文完整并完成文后问题。 （1）从方框中选择合适的句子填入短文中的空格中。 The summer holiday is coming soon.
