But you may not have enough space. Now this door is here to help you. It can turn into a ping-pong table when you pull it down. After the ping pong game is over, it goes back to being a normal door. It was designed by Tobias Fränzel from Germany. Cool concept Dog Watch The dog watch is actually a “clock for keeping time at a rate (比率) other than human time” and was invented in 1991. With this handy watch, you can be aware of time at your animal’s rate instead of your own. According to the inventor, the watch multiplies every human second, minute and hour by seven, thus giving us “doggy time”. If a dog lives to be the age of 14, that translates into 98 human years! Earthquake House Big earthquakes can damage a house, possibly making the people in it get hurt. But our inventor has a solution, the Earthquake House! His idea is simple, build a round house that has earthquake sensors (传感器) in it. If the sensors signal the big earthquake, the house is automatically released from its chains. Don’t worry. You always remain upright in it. We don’t recommend this for a hillside home because there aren’t any brakes to stop it! Smell this How do you know if your breath smells nice, or if it smells bad? It’s difficult to know because it’s very hard to smell the air that comes out of your own mouth. Smell This is useful for this situation. You just place the mask on your face, then breathe out through your mouth and breathe in through your nose. 39. In Paragraph 1, “it” refers to ________. A. your room B. enough space C. ping pong game D. ping-pong table 40. If a dog lives to 5 years old, that translates to ________ human years. A. 25 B. 30 C. 35 D. 40 41. In Paragraph 3, the underlined word “brakes” means ________. A. something for repairing B. something for slowing or stopping C. something for eating D. something for breathing 42. Which invention is best to use before meeting someone important to you? A. Smell This. B. Earthquake House. C. Dog Watch. D. Ping Pong Door. 43. Which of the following statement is right? A. With Dog Watch, you can know when the dog wants to eat. B. We had better use the Earthquake House for a hillside home. C. It’s difficult to smell the air from our own mouth without Smell This. D. Ping pong Door requires a beginner skater to train in a strict manner. 44. You can find such a passage in the materials except ________. A. newspapers B. magazines C. science books D. story books B． Choose the words and complete the passage （选择最恰当的单词，完成短文） Experts often tell students to put their efforts into a narrow field to get a job after school. But recent research into Nobel Prize winners suggests that wider interests are ____45____. One of the winners of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was Danish scientist Morten Meldal. When describing his career, Meldal said he started out as an engineer but changed to chemistry because he “wanted to understand the world”. Meldal’s experience and the way he sees things may come as a(n) ____46____ to students. They might believe they have to center their work and school life in one field to be successful. But a study from professors at Michigan State University rejected that belief. They said that many Nobel Prize winners can be described as “polymaths,” those who have many interests in both their work and personal lives. The professors looked at past Nobel Prize winners and their students. They decided that when students of winners go on to win Nobel Prizes, some of what they ____47____ their teachers is how to live a life with many interests. They are, in a way, learning how to be creative. Having many interests ____48____ scientists to look for creative ways to deal with problems. In fact, one important part of science is not discovering answers, but ____49____ problems that need to be settled. For example, Alexis Carrel won his Nobel Prize in medicine in 1912 by transferring techniques he learned from the clothing business. He realized that people who used thread to make and fix clothing had a skill that could be used in ____50____ to put new organs into people’s bodies. One winner in medicine—Christiane Nusslein-Volhard—once told young scientists not to follow the “mainstream” but to move out of their study areas to be independent and original. The Michigan State researchers say that the Nobel winners have an open mind about their life experiences. Unlike many people who spend long hours at work and give up some of their outside interests, Nobel winners believe their hobbies are important to creativity. 45. A. scientific B. convenient C. essential D. immediate 46. A. decision B. surprise C. example D. freedom 47. A. heard from B. cared for C. depended on D. learned from 48. A. gives B. suggests C. enables D. expects 49. A. applying B. recognizing C. controlling D. worrying 50. A. operations B. engines C. clothing D. medicine C． Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words （在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一次，首字母已给） Could a hug a day keep the doctor away? The answer may be a loud “yes!” Besides helping you feel c____51____ and connected to people you care about, it turns out that hugs can bring lots of health benefits to your body and mind. Believe it or not, a warm hug might even help you a____52____ getting sick this winter. In a recent study involving over 400 healthy adults, researchers from Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania examined the effects of perceived (感知) social support and the receipt of hugs on the participants’ developing the common cold after being exposed to the virus. People who perceived greater social support were less l____53____ to come down with a cold, and the researchers calculated that the stress-reducing effects of hugging explained about ____54____ (32) percent of that beneficial effect. Even among those who got a cold, the o____55____ who felt greater social support and received more hugs had less severe symptoms (症状). “Hugging protects people who are under stress from the increased risk for colds that’s usually associated with stress,” notes Sheldon Cohen, a professor of psychology at Carnegie.“Hugging is a marker of a very close relationship and helps cause the feeling that others are there to help in the face of d____56____.” Some experts attribute (把……归因于) the stress-reducing, health-related benefits of hugging to the release of oxytocin, often called “the bonding hormone (荷尔蒙)” b____57____ it promotes attachment (依恋) in relationships, including that between mothers and their newborn babies. Oxytocin is made mainly in the central lower part of the brain, and some of it is released into the bloodstream. But some of it r____58____ in the brain, where it influences mood, behavior and physiology. D． Read the passage below and answer the following questions (根据文章内容回答下列问题) Dario and his mother loved their new apartment. The living room was large enough for their piano. One night, the two of them sat side by side at the piano. They played jazz music to celebrate their new home. The loud music filled the room and made them feel very happy. The next morning, however, their happiness disappeared. Someone had left a note under their door during the night. One of their neighbors had written to complain about the sound of the piano. Dario’s mother asked the building superintendent (管理员) if he knew anything about it. But he said that they were all nice people and he couldn’t imagine any of them had done that. Later that morning, Dario suggested that they write a letter to their neighbors and apologize for their playing. “Maybe we could go and visit everyone in person.” his mother said. “How about inviting them to come here for a party instead?” Dario asked. They both loved the idea. Over the next few days, they sent out invitations and prepared desserts for their guests. They decorated the apartment with streamers (彩带) and party lights. In the end, the day of the party arrived. Some guests brought presents and flowers, and others brought desserts to share. One woman, Mrs Gilbert, gave Dario’s mother a book of piano music by Chopin. “I heard you playing the other night,” she said. “The sounds woke me out of bed. I was afraid that you might play like this every night. So I wrote a short note. I hope you don’t think I disliked the playing.” Dario’s mother smiled at Mrs Gilbert. “I think maybe we should apologize to you.” she said. “I didn’t realize how late it was when we were playing. Maybe we should play some quieter music at night.” “I like what you play! Just try not to be so loud at night.” Mrs Gilbert said. She pointed to the book she had given them. “These songs are not such loud music.” “These songs are beautiful music.” Dario’s mother said. “We will be happy to play them in the evening.” “And we won’t play so loud or late!” Dario said. He was already looking forward to practicing the new music. More than that, however, he was happy to see the big smile on his mother’s face. It gave him a feeling of warmth and made him feel that they were home at last. 59. How was the jazz music Dario and his mother played one night? ___________________________________________ 60.
