Here are the ones on last years list.The Ultimate Alarm ClockIts hard to believe that an alarm clock, called Hello Sense, can not only be beautiful but also improve your sleep. It can control the temperature, light and even air quality in your bedroom to help you have a perfect sleep environment. It can wake you up when youre in the lightest part of your sleep cycle and ready to wake. You can also speak to Sense to find out how well you sleep.The Folding Bike HelmetPeople refuse to wear a helmet because its thick and heavy. The morpher, a bike helmet made from interweaved(交织的) plastic is just as strong as the traditional ones, but flexible enough to fold almost totally flat, making it easier to carry.Shoes That Tie ThemselvesAlmost everyone who sees the movie Back to the Future wants a pair of shoes which tie themselves. Now, thanks to Nike, the shoe dream is a reality. When you press a button near the tongue, the sneakers themselves tighten and loosen around your feet. Simplified shoe fastening could be helpful for the athletes during the petition, and its especially useful for people with the impaired(受损的) motor nerve.Sweet Potatoes That Could Save LivesIn sub-Saharan Africa, the lack of vitamin A puts children at risk of blindness, and other diseases. Plant scientists are helping some countries grow their own solutions in the form of sweet potatoes. And they fight against droughts. Last year, the orange-colored sweet potatoes won the World Food Prize and have been seen as a healthy crop for all.21. What do we know about Hello Sense?A. It shows you ways of sleeping well.B. It can serve as a light in your bedroom.C. It tries its best to improve your quality of sleep.D. It can wake you up at any time every day.22.

Ones who have trouble with the motor nerve.23. From the last paragraph, we can infer Sweet Potatoes_.A. make a difference in sub-Saharan AfricaB. can keep children off any diseaseC. are often used to prevent droughtsD. have taken place of other crops in Africa24. Which column is the passage probably taken from?A. History. B. Travel. C. Science. D. Culture.BAs puters bee more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly depending on puter keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the puter too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a puter as early as primary school. And puter dependence is more widely spread among university students. Almost all their assignment and essays are typed on a puter.All the students interviewed say they usually use a puter.Its faster and easier to correct if using a puter. And thats why puters are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in puters increasingly, problems appear.“When Im writing with a pen, I find I often cant remember how to write a character, though I feel Im familiar with it.”“Im not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”Many students dont feel this is something to worry about. Now that its more convenient and efficient to write on a puter, why bother to handwrite?Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value. But those characters typed with puter keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writers emotion. Through ones handwriting, people can get to know ones thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes pulsory（必修的）and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.25. The underlined expression “taking stock in” in paragraph 4 probably means.A. getting bored with B. getting dependent onC. being crazy about D. getting curious about26. The students interviewed prefer to write using a puter mainly because _.A. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and convenientlyB. they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essaysC. they find it not easy to remember how to write a characterD. puters have bee a trend and fashion in China27. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. To Type or to Handwrite.B. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing.C. Writing by puter Will Replace Writing by Hand.D. Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters. CA small robot may help children who are recovering from a long-term illnesses in the hospital or at home. These children may feel isolated from their friends and classmates. The robot takes their place at school. Through the robot, the children can hear their teachers and friends.

AV1 goes to school for a child who is homebound while recovering from a long-term illness. And the childs school friends must help. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot on the childs desk. A Norwegian pany called No Isolation created the robot. The co-founders of No Isolation are Karen Dolva and Marius Aabel. Dolva explains how the robot AV1 works. She says from home, the child uses a tablet or phone to start the robot. Then they use the same device to control the robots movements. At school, the robot bees the eyes, ears and voice of the child. So, it sits at the childs desk in the classroom and the child uses a tablet or a phone to start it, control its movement with touch, and talk through it. So its the eyes and the ears and the voice at school. The student can take part in classroom activities from wherever they are recovering - whether at home or from a hospital bed.

They have a small standard petrol engine and a battery electric motor to provide electric power.There are some differences between different models of hybrid cars, but the general principle is that the car runs on petrol, and the electric motor kicks in when additional power is required, for example, when going uphill or accelerating. In some hybrid cars the petrol engine turns itself off when not needed, for example when the car has stopped at traffic light, keeping only the electric engine running.Conventional cars have large engines to deal with driving uphill and accelerating. Hybrid cars have much smaller petrol engines, improved by electric motors when needed, so they use less petrol. Another way that fuel consumption is cut by a system of “regenerative (再生的) braking”. The electric motor is used to slow down the car, rather than conventional brakes. The energy produced by slowing the car is changed into electrical power, which is automatically stored in the battery. In effect, the battery recharges when you brake. In conventional cars the energy produced when braking is wasted.In 1928 Ferdinand Porsche built an experimental hybrid car. The first mass-produced hybrid car, the Toyota Prius, came out in Japan at the end of 1997. However, hybrid cars became available in the USA only in 1999. As they use less fuel, hybrid cars are cheaper to run. There are also many voices in place to encourage people to buy them. In some countries, hybrid car owners pay a lower rate of tax, and dont have to pay on certain roads. In some cities, hybrid cars are allowed to park for free.32. Hybrid cars consume less energy than conventional cars because hybrid cars .A. have large engines to deal with acceleratingB. have conventional brakes to slow down the carC. have electric power to assist when neededD. have no energy consumption when stopping33. In regenerative braking A. energy wasted in conventional cars is stored in the battery. B. the conventional brakes are used to slow down the car. C. the battery charges itself when the car is accelerating. D. the petrol engine is usually turned off automatically. 34. From the last paragraph we can learn that Hybrid cars .A. were first available in the USA B. will gain more popularityC. free their owners from tax D. are free to park anywhere in the city35. The main purpose of this text is to .A. show how hybrid cars slow down B. encourage people to buy hybrid carsC. inform people of a kind of energy-saving cars D. explain why hybrid cars use less energy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。选项中有两项为多余选项。When I first came to UK from China at 6, I entered the first grade 36 .
