As he applied sunscreen to his young daughter’s face,Dara O’Rourke,a professor of environmental and labor policy at the University of California,Berkeley,found himself wondering if the lotion (霜) was safe. He realized there was no readily available answer. The result—two years,a team of chemists,lots of testing and venture capital (风险投资) later—is GoodGuide. com. Launched in 2008,this is a website with a smart phone app that rates 140,000 consumer products (only in America) according to their safety,environmental sustainability and the ethics of the firms that make them. Now GoodGuide has created a new “purchase analyzer” app designed to inform consumers not just about the values attached to products,but also about whether they are the virtuous (有信誉的) shoppers they say they want to be.
Using the new app requires selecting a series of characteristics,which range from whether the user favours organic products to buying only from firms with a good human-rights record. Consumers then scan the bar code on a product with the camera in their smart phones. The app identifies it and checks in a database to score it. Much therefore depends on the quality of the data,which GoodGuide gathers from various sources,including government reports,scientific studies,and research by its own staff. If the product scores badly,the app will recommend an alternative item which is rated more highly. The app also tracks a consumer’s purchases to see how well he lives up to his selected values,giving a sort of personal virtue rating.
So far,GoodGuide has mostly been used by shoppers who are keen to know about any issues connected with products they buy. They are mothers concerned about a child’s health,older people facing a chronic (慢性的) illness or supporters of a cause,such as animal rights. The hope behind the app is that the idea of finding out about a product’s background will become the mainstream.
Consumers rarely change their buying habits,even when provided with scientific and other data,says Mr O’Rourke. So he has drawn on insights from behavioral economics,which show shoppers can be greatly influenced by peer pressure and by information passed on to them by people they know. The app tries to take advantage of these pressures. The virtue rating will inform consumers how well they are doing according to the values they espouse (拥护).That measurement encourages them to do better. Soon,the rating will be able to be shared with others on social media sites such as Facebook,which could inspire a shopper to consume more thoughtfully.

A new app aims to help parents interpret what their baby wants based on the sound of their cry. The free app ChatterBaby,which was released last month,analyzes the acoustic (声学的) features of a baby’s cry,to help parents understand whether their child might be hungry,fussy or in pain. While critics say caregivers should not rely too much on their smartphones,others say it’s a helpful tool for new or tired parents.
Ariana Anderson,a mother of four,developed the app. She originally designed the technology to help deaf parents better understand why their baby was upset,but soon realized it could be a helpful tool for all new parents.
To build a database,Anderson and her team uploaded 2,000 audio samples of infant (婴儿) cries. She used cries recorded during ear piercings and vaccinations to distinguish pain cries. And to create a baseline for the other two categories,a group of moms had to agree on whether the cry was out of being either hungry or fussy.
Anderson’s team continues to collect data and hopes to make the app more accurate (精准的) by asking parents to get specific about what certain sounds mean.
Pediatrician Eric Ball pointed out that evaluating cries can never be an exact science.“I think that all of the apps and technology that new parents are using now can be helpful but need to be taken seriously,” Ball said,“I do worry that some parents will get stuck in big data and turn their parenting into basically a spreadsheet (电子表格) which I think will take away the love and caring that parents are supposed to be providing for the children.”
But Anderson said the aim of the app is to have parents interpret the results,not to provide a yes or no answer. The Bells,a couple using this app,say it’s a win-win. They believe it is helping not only their baby now but potentially others in the future.

China will give the green light to Internet medical services conducted by medical institutions as part of a broader push to promote Internet Plus Healthcare.
Medical institutions will be allowed to provide online diagnostic services for some common and chronic diseases in patients’ follow-up visits to their doctors. The top levels of hospitals will be encouraged to provide online services,including consultations (会诊),reservations and test result inquiries.
As China joins the ranks of middle-income countries,the demand for health services has increased accordingly. Internet Plus Healthcare can help reduce the problem of inaccessible and expensive public health services that have long been a big concern for the general public.
One decision coming out of the meeting says the intelligent review for health insurance will be applied and the one-stop settlement will be advanced. The real-time sharing of prescription and drug retail sales will be explored,as well.
“We must waste no time in pushing forward the measures once the decisions made.”One spokesman said.“In recent years,top-level hospitals in major cities have seen steady increases in the number of patients. Medical bills have become a heavy burden on families and high-end medical resources still fall short of meeting the growing demand of the public.”
To solve the problem,a two-pronged (双管齐下的) approach must be taken. One is to establish medical partnerships to strengthen cooperation between major hospitals and community clinics. The other is to bring forward Internet Plus Healthcare to promote the sharing of quality medical resources.
The government will see to it that long-distance healthcare services cover all county-level hospitals. So more efforts will be made to ensure that high-speed broadband network will be extended to cover medical institutions in urban and rural areas. Dedicated internet access services will be set up to meet the needs for long-distance healthcare services.

C.The improvement of people’s life quality.

C [细节理解题。根据第三段“As China joins the... health services has increased accordingly.”可知,随着中国进入中等收入国家行列,对健康服务的需求也随之增加。也就是说中国人民的生活水平提高,是健康服务需求增加的原因。故选C项。]

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Some people are so rude. Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”? Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? 1 Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?
Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little courtesies (礼节).But many social norms (规范) just don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.
Take the thank-you note. Daniel Post Senning,a co-author of Emily Post’s Etiquette,asked,“At what point does showing appreciation outweigh the cost?”
2 Think of how long it takes to listen to one of those messages. In texts,you don’t have to declare who you are or even say hello. E-mail,too,is slower than a text. The worst are those who leave a voice mail and then send an e-mail message to tell you they left a voice mail.
This isn’t the first time technology has changed our manners. 3 Alexander Graham Bell,the inventor,suggested that people say,“Ahoy!” Finally,hello won out,and the victory sped up the greeting’s use in face-to-face communications.
In the age of the smart phone,there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about:the weather forecast,a business’ phone number,or directions to a house,a restaurant,or an office,which can be easily found on a digital map. But people still ask these things. 4
How to handle these differing standards? Easy:Consider your audience. Some people,especially older ones,appreciate a thank-you message. 5 In traditional societies,the young learn from the old. But in modern societies,the old can also learn from the young. Here’s hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.
A.Then there is voice mail.
B.Others,like me,want no reply.
C.Who asks for a fact easily found on the Internet?
D.Won’t new technology bring about changes in our daily life?
E.And when you answer,they respond with a thank-you e-mail.
F.Face-to-face communication makes comprehension much easier.
G.When the telephone was invented,people didn’t know how to greet a caller.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了手机电脑网络时代新的交流方式冲击了传统礼节,造成了不同人对两者的不同运用。我们要多考虑对方的情况,互相理解,既有礼貌又尽量不浪费别人时间。
1.C [上文用一组排比句列举了既发语音邮件又发信息浪费他人时间的具体表现,下文“Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?”对这些做法提出了疑问。C项是另一个浪费别人时间的表现,承接上文。故选C项。]
2.A [作者下文提到留下语音邮件又发电子邮件通知的情况。空处位于段首,A项可放段首,引出voice mail,下文对其进行具体介绍。故选A项。]
3.G [下文说明当时Bell刚发明电话时确定怎样打招呼的问题,G项说明人们不知道如何和来电者打招呼,与下文衔接。故选G项。]
4.E [上文说明在智能手机时代,人们仍然会问一些通过查询数字地图能够解决的生活问题。E项承接上文,进一步说明人们浪费别人时间的一些“礼节性”行为。故选E项。]
5.B [段首两句说明不同的人群对礼节有不同的看法,我们要多考虑对方的情况,互相理解。上句“Some people,especially older ones,appreciate a thank-you message.”介绍了老年人的习惯,B项与之对比,指出年轻人与老年人不同。故选B项。]

1.解析: Months 考查名词的单复数。结合空格后的of studies可知,用复数名词表泛指,意为“数月的研究”符合语境,且位于句首的单词首字母要大写。故填Months。
2.解析: it 考查代词。分析句式结构可知,此处用it作形式宾语,真正的宾语是动词不定式to sleep。故填 it。
3.解析: needs 考查主谓一致。分析句式结构可知,此处是省略引导词的定语从句,从句中主语 it 为第三人称单数形式,且根据上文的doesn’t 可知,时态为一般现在时,所以此处用动词的第三人称单数形式。故填needs。
4.解析: getting 考查非谓语动词。分析句式结构可知,此处应该用动词-ing形式作伴随状语与上文的feeling并列。故填getting。
5.解析: tested 考查动词的时态。分析句意再根据下文的found可知,此处应该是用一般过去时。故填tested。
6.解析: tired 考查词性转换。根据空格前的感官动词feel可知,此处应该用形容词作表语。故填tired。
7.解析: to stay 考查非谓语动词。分析句式结构可知,此处用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to stay。
8.解析: that/which 考查定语从句。分析句式结构可知,此处是定语从句,且从句中缺少宾语,所以用关系代词that或which来引导定语从句。故填 that/which。
9.解析: the 考查冠词。根据句意可知,此处是指在白天获得明亮光线,所以用the构成固定短语during the day表示“在白天”,符合语境。故填the。
10.解析: more 考查比较级。根据空格前的even并结合句意可知,此处应该用提示词的比较级形式。故填more。
