Do you wish you could invent something new? Here we look at a few British inventions of recent times.Adaptive glassesDo you wear glasses? If so, can you imagine life without them? In 1985, Joshua Silver, a professor atOxford University, asked himself, “Can I invent a pair of glasses that could be changed by the wearer?” He designed two plastic lenses (透镜) that are filled with a special liquid. Using syringes (注射器) you change the liquid between the lenses until you can see clearly. The glasses are not beautiful but they are easy to use and cheap to make.The wind-up radioWhen you switch yourTV on tonight, think about all those people without electricity. Thinking about this, Trevor Baylis came up with the idea of designing a radio that could be powered by hand. In common with Joshua Silver he wanted his invention to be cheap and easy to use. He wanted even the poorestpeople in developing countries, who dont have electricity and cannot afford batteries, to use it. The radio has a generator(发电机)which is powered by turning a handle. In 1996 it won the BBC Design Award for Best Product and Best Design.The Dyson vacuum(真空) cleanerIn many homes around the world you can see a cleaner that looks like a spaceship. This is the Dysonvacuum cleaner which uses something called “cyclonic separation” to separate the dirt. You do not needa bag for your cleaner and it does not get blocked so it is very practical. The idea came to Sir JamesDyson after he kept having problems with his vacuum cleaner. He decided he could design a better one and in 1993 he opened his own factory. The Dyson is now one of the best-selling cleaners in the UK and Dyson is believed to have earned over a billion pounds.The Zapata flyboardHave you ever dreamed of zooming through the water and leaping in the air like a dolphin? Now you can, thanks to a flyboard, built by water sports enthusiast Frank Zapata. With it you can dive back in thewaterand out again. Its possible to jump to incredible heights out of the water-over 30 feet. The basic flyboard model comes in at 4,200. 21. What can we learn about adaptive glasses?A. They are very expensive. B. The inventor is a student.C. The glasses are fragile（易碎的）. D. They dont look very nice.22. Which invention won an award?A. Adaptive glasses. B. The wind-up radio.C. They Dyson vacuum cleaner. D. The Zapata flyboard.23. The Dyson vacuum cleaner was invented with the purpose of_.A. helping people use cleaners easily B. making Dyson a rich businessmanC. keeping the house cleaner than before D. taking the place of human cleanersBHunger is the greatest motive for the inexperienced cook. But many people are now worried that we are producing a generation without the slightest idea of how to cooka generation that is frightened to cook. I have just received a handout from Focus on Food, which is running a competition to get children back into the kitchen. I decided to ask my oldest daughter, Miranda, for her opinion. Are children learning enough about the importance of good cooking? Do they know cooking is a basic life skill? Sociology and other “new” subjects are all very well, but without the ability to cook, or to understand the pleasure and principles of good food and its relationship to good health, are we really preparing them for adult life?Miranda started her cooking at the age of nine, when she decided to enter the Sainsburys Future Cook competition. She was motivated by a different kind of greed: the first prizea trip to Disney World.The problem, from the parental point of view, was that if she made it through to the regional(区域性的) finals, she would have to cook her meal in front of the judges. Some 30,000 children entered and she made it through as the youngest regional finalist. Now she had to learn to cook. Her hands were not even big enough to hold the knife and slice the onions. Six Saturdays running we ate the same lunchMozzarella meatballs in fresh tomato juice and blueberry.First, she cooked by my side, then alone with timings and instructions. Finally, she went alone against the clock. The kitchen looked like a battlefield, but she had gained victory. The tiny be-capped figure then stood in an unknown Bristol hotel, looking like a professional who had been at the stove for years. She didnt win, but she came home with 50 and the most valuable part of them all: confidence.24. The competition run by Focus on Food is intended for _.A. children B. parents C. teachers D. chefs 25. Why does the writer think cooking is so important?A. It is an easy way to keep healthy. B. It helps develop relationships.C. It is a necessary skill for life. D. It can save a lot of money.26. The writers family had the same lunch on six Saturdays because _. A. the family stuck to healthy food B. Miranda had to practice cookingC. the dish was the familys only food D. the dish was Mirandas favorite meal27. What did Miranda gain from the competition?A. A trip to Disney World. B. Support from friends.C. A medal for the winner.D. Belief in herself.CWildI was 16 when my father finally decided he would send me to wilderness camp for several months. He had threatened to do it many times before, but my mother had always managed to prevent him from doing so. This time he insisted on doing it.The latest incident was the last straw. Impulsively(冲动地), I had pushed Mr. Ford, my math teacher, down a flight of steps at school. He broke his arm in two places. Anyway, he had agreed not to accuse me as a favor to my dad, who was in the middle of a tight race for sheriff(执法官) in our town. But my reckless behavior had my dads closest advisor talking.“John, hes your son and hes a kid, but he is dragging you down,” I heard Jake Hutch tell my dad through his closed office door the night after I pushed Mr. Ford. “If you cant make your son obey the rules, how can you make the law obeyed in this town?”So, off to Pisgah National Forest I went. Nearly every day for six months, a small group of other troubled teens and I carried our 30-pound backpacks on a difficult journey covering about 10 miles. We hiked in a rough wilderness that seemed untouched by civilization.Our sergeants were firm but kind, not frightening as I had imagined. We learned how to make a fire without matches and create a shelter with branches and grass. We learned which plants were safe to eat out in the wild. I felt myself change. I was calm and often reflective. My old, impulsive self was gone.One morning, six months later, my dad came to pick me up. I ran to hug him and saw relief and love in his eyes.“So whats it like being sheriff?” I asked on the ride home.“I lost the race, Danny,” he said.“Im sorry, Dad.” I knew my behavior probably had a lot to do with hid defeat.Dad squeezed my shoulder and brought me close. “As long as I dont ever lose you, Im okay.”28. The author was finally sent to wilderness because _.A. he could learn how to survive in the wildB. his teacher insisted on giving him a lessonC. he pushed his math teacher down the stairsD. his mother feared that he would be accused29. The underlined word “reckless” in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. selfishB. rude C .carelessD. reasonable30. What can we learn about the author from the passage?A. He changed a lot after the camp.B. He was not satisfied with his life in the camp.C. He was still what he used to be after the camp.D. He made enemies with other troubled teen at the camp.31. How did the authors father feel at the end of the story?A. encouraged. B. Annoyed. C. Disappointed. D. Relieved.D“Never talk to strangers.” Many children are taught this simple rule as a precaution（预防措施） against abduction(诱拐). In June, 2005, an 11-year-old boy was lost in the Utah wilderness for four days. During that time, he stayed on the path. He saw people searching for him but deliberately hid from them, afraid someone might “steal” him. Eventually, the unfortunate game of hide-and-seek ended and he was found. According to the Canada Safety Council, this alarming incident shows how unwise it is to instill(灌输) a fear of strangers in children. The “stranger danger” message can prevent children from developing the social skills and judgment needed to deal effectively with real-life situations. In a difficult situation, a stranger could be their lifeline to safety.To have a child go missing is a parents worst nightmare. The threat of abduction by a stranger is minimal when compared with other possible reasons for a disappearance. In 2004, there were 67,266 missing-children cases in Canada. Only 31 involved abduction; in most of those cases the abductor was a relative, friend, or person known to the family. There were 671 cases of children wandering off, and 332 cases of abductions by a parent. Almost 80 percent of all cases were runaways. These statistics cast doubt on the idea that children should never talk to strangers. Wandering off is more commonbut a lost children may have to call upon a stranger for help, and must develop the ability to judge what kind of people to approach. The “never talk to strangers” rule does not protect children in the situations they are most likely to face. On top of this, it can be confusing. Adults do not model the behavior; they often talk to strangers. A child may not know how to tell who is a stranger, and who is not.For young children, nothing replaces close supervision(监管). Pre-schoolers do not understand risk and tend to act without thinking. Children need to develop habits and attitudes that will protect them from the real threats and dangers they may face. The Canada Safety Council encourages parents to give their children age-appropriate positive messages about safety, bearing in mind how youngsters may understand their world.32. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the 11-year-old boy?A. He practiced the “never talk to strangers” rule.B. He hid from the rescuers to avoid possible abduction.C. He finally showed up when his hide-and-seek game ended.D. He stayed where he was, expecting the coming of familiar people.33. Among the possible reasons for the missing-children cases in Canada, which one is the most frequent?A. Being abducted by a parent. B. Wandering off.C. Being abducted by strangers.D. Running away.34. The “never talk to strangers” rule is confusing to children because _.A. a friendly and attractive person may be dangerousB. adults do not act upon the rule and strangers are hard to tellC. the rule does not protect children in the situation of abductingD. a lost child may have difficulty in communicating with a stranger35. Which would the author agree with about the “never talk to strangers” rule?A. It is not effective in keeping kids safe. B. It is not well recognized by parents.C. It is easy enough for children to follow.D. It is practical as a safety tip in daily life.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 （请将答案涂在答题卡上E=AB F=AC G=AD）iPads vs. TextbooksWhat if you could have your whole backpack at the touch of your fingertips?
