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. Stubbor n and proud. C. Independent and easy-going. D. Intelligent and honest. B Researchers have extensively explored whether time of day affects exercise benefits and performance. Although morning workouts may be the greatest for circadian rhythms (昼夜节律), afternoon exercise tends to be slightly more efficient. Overall, given the benefits of exercise, the best time to work out for most people is whenever they can fit it into their schedules. A key part of starting to exercise is choosing when to work out. Morning, afternoon, or evening: Which time is best? Scientists have studied this dilemma extensively. For fresh exercisers, morning workouts are often the most terrible. Trading a cozy bed for an unforgiving fitness center can be a rude awakening to say the least. But morning workouts have their advantages. Challenging the body produces endorphins (内啡肽), uplifting one’s mood following effort. These chemicals, along with a few others, boost energy levels, alertness, and focus, which can make you more productive and attentive at work. But early exercisers may not be able to achieve peak performance. Stronger muscles, fewer stored energy reserves from overnight fasting (夜间禁食), and a slightly cooler body temperature in the morning add up to influence exercise output. Therefore, more anxious exercisers might prefer working out in the afternoon. Exercise itself may also be more efficient in the afternoon. For example, in one study, young men instructed to cycle to exhaustion at a set difficulty were able to ride 20% longer in the afternoon compared to the morning. A review of studies also found that muscle strength, muscle power, and running abilities all peaked in the afternoon, topping morning performance by anywhere from 3% to 20%. Finally, some folks may decide to work out later in the evening. Studies centered around this time of day tend to focus on whether or not nightly exercise negatively impacts sleep quality. Gathered research suggests it does not and, instead, actually improves sleep. So, taking everything into account, when is the best time to exercise? There actually is a straightforward answer! If you’re not about to go to sleep, if you’ve got some free time on your hands, and if you haven’t already exercised today, the best time to exercise is now. 5. When is the best time for people to exercise according to the research? A. In the morning. B. In the afternoon. C. In the evening. D. Whenever they are available. 6. Which of the following is not the advantage of morning exercise? A. Improving one’s mood following effort. B. Producing more chemicals in the body. C. Increasing energy level, alertness and focus. D. Making you more efficient and concentrated at work. 7. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Exercise efficiency increases in the morning. B. Nightly exercise seriously influences sleep quality. C. More anxious exercisers prefer exercising in the afternoon. D. Afternoon exercise might have an advantage over morning exercise. 8. What is a suitable title for the text? A. What can exercise bring to us? B. Are you ready to exercise now? C. When is the best time to exercise? D. How can you choose the best time to exercise? 四、完形填空(共15小题：每题2分, . 满分30分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项。 Waiting for the airplane to take off, I was happy to get a seat by myself.
