C A New Invention-An Electric Fork Do you know electricity can change the way we taste food? Don't feel surprised at the fact. A special electric fork invented by Japanese researchers could make any dish taste salty. According to Hiromi Nakamura, a Post Doctor Researcher at Meiji University of Japan, the technology can be very useful for metallie part people with special eating habits. For example, the sick with high blood pressure(高血f) can easily develop a low-salt eating habit and still enjoy delicious food. And with the fork, there's totally no handle risk of over-salting their food. Luckily, the voltage(电) is so small that it is safe to use the fork 全卷共4页 第2页 The idea of adding electricity to food was first shown to public as an experiment at the Computer Human Interaction Conference in Austin, Texas, in 2012. Nakamura and her team connected a wire(导线) to a 9-volt battery(电池) and passed it through a straw(吸管) placed in a cup of sweet lemonade. Volunteers reported that the lemonade tasted not as sweet as it usually was, because the electricity created the taste of salt Nakamura has improved the technology to be able to make the electricity reach the food through forks and chopsticks. "The metallic part of the fork is one electrode(电极) and the handle is the other," Nakamura explained."When you take a piece of food with the fork and put it in your mouth, you connect the circuit. When you take the fork out of your mouth, you disconnect the circuit. So, it actually works as a switch." Simon Klose, TV presenter of food program Mnchies, who recently visited Nakamura to try out the fork himself, then said it was one of the greatest eating A switch experiences he'd ever had. "When I first heard of electric food. it sounded terrible." he said. He later continued to use the fork to eat pieces of fried chicken, and found that IAcireuit the saltiness greatly increased as the electricity was connected Nakamura has been eating "electric" food for the past three to four years in order to understand it bener. "For me," she said, "it may seem like we're cooking but we're actually working on the human taste." 27. The electric fork may be good for people who A. need to lose weight B. show interest in physics C. work as researchers D. have high blood pressure 28. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us A. how the electric fork works B. what creates the taste of salt C. where the electric fork was invented D. when the technology was known to public 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. The electric fork can create unreal taste B. A researcher from England invented the electric fork C. People can use the electric fork by pushing the switch D. The idea of adding electricity to food was first shown in a TV program D As we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we've yet to get around to. Yet re-readers are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually, One friend told me that Jane Austen's Emmo can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50times. 初三年级英语学科期中调研 New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading Journalist Rebacca Mead, a long-time Englishwoman in New York, first came across George Eliot's Middlemarch at I7. Since then, she has read it again every five years. With each re-reading, it has opened up further: in each chapter of her life, it has resonated (引起 共鸣) differently. Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines. These kinds of books grow with us. Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading. Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the "what" and the "why". Second time round, we're able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express. As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University explained, returning to a book "brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers." It's true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if we're fond of making notes on the pages). These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then. We're changed not only by lived experience but also by read experience - by the books that we've discovered since last reading the one in our hand More so than the movie director or the musician, the writer calls upon our imaginations, using words to lead us to picture this declaration of love or that unfaithfulness in life. A book is a joint project between writers and readers, and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can become connected with the story in the book. Perhaps what's really strange is that we don't re-read more often. After all, we watch our favorite films again and we wouldn't think of listening to an album only once. We treasure messy old paintings as objects, yet of all art forms, literature alone is a largely one-time delight. A book, of course, takes up more time, but as Mead confirms, the rewards make it adequately worthwhile 30. The two books are mentioned in Paragraph 1 mainly to A. attract the attention of readers B. introduce the topie of the passage C. provide some background information D. show the similarity between re-readers 31. The underlined expression "erack their spines" in Paragraph 2 refers to C. recall them B. re-read them A. recite them D. retell them 32. It can be learned from the passage that A. reading benefits people both mentally and physically B. readers mainly focus on feelings on their first reading C. we know ourselves better through re-reading experience D. writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do 共4页 第3页 33. The purpose of the passage is to A. call on different understandings of old books B. focus on the mental health benefits of reading C. draw students' attention to the importance of re-reading D. introduce the effective ways of re-reading old books 四、阅读表达(第34-36题每题2分,第37题4分,共10分) My 1oo Davs Without a Mobile Phone When was the last time you left home without your mobile phone? Can you imagine yourself living a month, or even a year without checking your mobile phone from time to time? As a busy modern person with lots of social connections, plans and responsibilities. I iust cannot afford to not be in touch with the rest of the world. Staying connected to other people is a big part of my life. However, sometimes it can be bothersome (恼人的) One day I discovered I was terribly tired out. I tried turning notifications (通知) off. But the fear of missing out something important made me check the phone more often than before. So, I simply stopped using my phone. Well to tell the truth, it was not simple at all. For the first couple of days, I had a big fear that all of my friends would soon forget about me. When I had a free moment, I had no idea what to get myself distracted (分心的) with, and the worries mixed with boredom kept bothering me. However, after three weeks without a mobile phone, I started noticing changes - changes which I liked, and which drove me to not just continue the experiment, but in fact to reorganize some of my habits. First of all. I noticed that I became much more focused(专注的). Before, while doing something, I would often find myself wondering what was going on online, After a month of staying away from my mobile phone, I found that the urge (冲动) was already not that strong and that my ability to focus improved. I discovered that the world is a beautiful place. Before, I would look at it through my camera mostly: take a photo, post it, get some likes. Now, I saw beautiful people walking around and I sensed the seasons change. I could understand the actual beauty of the world, and I did not need anyone else to prove the value of this beauty through likes or shares Now, as 10o days have passed, I can say that the experiment was worth it. I am planning to stay away from my phone for as long as possible 34. What made the writer check the phone more often than before? 35. When did the writer start noticing his changes? 初三年级英语学科期中调研 36.
