The new smart device, which is worn on the wrist, just like a normal watch, can do all the things a cell phone does-and more.At $349, the Apple Watch is expensive. Some experts doubt that they will bee as successful as smartphones. It does seem likely, though, that the device will open yet another door in personal puting. The watch is the smartest puter yet. It taps you on the wrist whenever a new message es in. It prepares answers to questions you receive from friends. It reminds you where you parked your car. It tracks your health. It even allows you to send your heartbeat to others.When it goes on sale early next year, it will be Apples first item in a new category of technology-wearable puters. If the Apple Watch bees popular, it will change the way the world interacts with puters. People may depend on the smart jewelry even more than they already depend on their phones. It might not only be a game changer for Apple, but for the entire industry. says technology expert Daniel Ives. A lot of major technology players around the globe are taking notes on what Apple is trying to do here.The Apple watch is specially designed for a smaller device. An entire puter fits onto a single chip(芯片). Users will be able to scroll(滚屏)just like they would do on an iPhone. It will have a built-in speaker for alarms that users can both hear and feel. Pressing the side button brings up contacts so you can municate with people quickly and easily. Apple Watch also introduces health and fitness apps that can help people lead healthier lives. The built- in heart rate sensor (传感器) and GPS will track calories burned and workouts.According to Matt Vella, a writer for TIME magazine, the watch is the most exciting device since the iPad. After actually trying the watch, he says, “It sits on the wrist very naturally. You could easily forget you are wearing the Apple Watch, and you will.25.

What is Matt Vellas attitude towards the Apple Watch?A. Doubtful.B. Unbelievable.C. Objective. D. FavorableC Getting around in Canada is fairly easy. Most cities have urban transportation systems, including buses, streetcars, and trains, and some of the larger cities also have subways. You can board these systems at regular stops along their routes. Some let you pay with cash while others require tickets. If you dont have a ticket for the bus, you must pay with the correct amount of money. This is because the driver does not carry any change. If you plan to stay in a city for a long time, you may want to buy a monthly pass or a package of tickets to save money. You can buy subway tickets at any subway station. If you have to take several buses or subways for a single trip, you do not need to pay money each time. Simply ask the driver for a transfer (换乘) ticket, or take one from the machines on the subway platform. If you are not sure where to board the bus or the streetcar, just ask someone or follow the crowd. People can usually only board at the front of the bus where you show your pass to the driver. When using public transportation, Canadians line up. First e, first serve, is a mon approach to many activities in Canada, and it is considered to be extremely rude to cut in any line. Maps of routes and schedules are usually available from the public transit (运输) pany in your area, and there is also a telephone information line. You may ask someone for the name of the transit pany in your area, and then look it up in the telephone book.29. What is this passage mainly about?A. Where to find subways in larger citiesB. How to save money when traveling.C. How to use public transportation in Canada.D. How public transit panies work.30. If you pay the bus fare in cash, _.A. you must have the exact amount of moneyB. you can exchange money with the driverC. it might cost you a little more D. you may be given some change 31. By buying a monthly pass or a package of tickets, you can _. A. take a bus whenever you want B. go wherever you like C. find fortable seats D. save moneyDDo you always struggle to understand others feelings? Perhaps you should listen to your heart. According to a team of scientists at Anglia Ruskin University in the UK, people who are more aware of their own heartbeat are better at understanding others emotions.Researchers have long suspected (怀疑) that this ability is important for understanding others thoughts and feelings. To test this theory, the British team asked 72 volunteers to count their own heartbeats without feeling a pulse (脉搏). This aimed to see how aware they were of the feelings inside their own bodies. Then, the volunteers were shown video clips of social interactions (互动), which tested their ability to read the minds of the characters. During the clips, they were asked questions that required an understanding of the emotions of a certain character for example, “What is Sandra feeling?” In addition, they were asked questions that did not involve any emotions, such as “What is Michael thinking?” They were also asked non-social questions, like “What was the weather like that evening?” The results showed that those who had counted their heartbeats most accurately were better at answering questions relating to the characters emotions. However, there was no link between the ability to feel whats going on inside your body and questions that did not involve any emotions.Punit Shah, lead author of the study, used an example to explain this: If your colleague Michael is rude toward Sandra in public, your body processes (处理) this by increasing your heart rate. This may make you feel anxious and allow you to understand that Sandra is embarrassed . “If you do not feel your heart rate increase, it may reduce your ability to understand that situation and respond (反应) appropriately,” Shah told The Telegraph. Researchers believed their findings mean it could be possible to make people more empathetic by training them to listen to their hearts. This also lends support to the argument that feelings are, at the very least, deeply rooted in physical sensations (感觉).32. What does the new study find?A. People are better at understanding others emotions than thoughts.B. People with quicker heartbeats are more sensitive to others feelings.C. The ability to feel your heartbeat is important for understanding others thoughts.D. Your ability to feel others emotions is related to your ability to feel your own heartbeat.33. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the new study according to the article?A. The volunteers were asked to count their heartbeats while watching video clips.B. Researchers designed emotional, non-emotional and non-social questions.C. The volunteers were required to describe each others thoughts and feelings.D. Researchers trained the volunteers to listen to their hearts and observed them.34. The underlined word “empathetic” in the second-to-last paragraph probably means _.A. willing to accept ideas that are different from your ownB. not influenced in any way by other people or thingsC. being able to understand others feelingsD. willing to help those in trouble35. What can be concluded from the last four paragraphs?A. We react to a situation more slowly when our heart rates increase.B. Physical sensations in our bodies are believed to cause emotional changes.C. Our ability to feel emotions is part of us and cant be changed.D. How we feel has nothing to do with the state of our bodies.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。Tips to stay safe and make smart choices Even if youre a genius (天才) at school, you still might be lost when it es to getting from point A to point B.
