Our favorite tech gifts of2019When it comes time for the holiday shopping season,we’re extra choosy about the countless technology products that we will buy and give to friends and family.Here’s what impressed editors,reporters and producers the most in2019.Lumos MatrixI recently bought a Lumos Matrix helmet(头盔)($229)with built-in lights to make riding my bike at night a lot safer and less stressful.It’s a regular pain point for bikers like me to make sure absent-minded drivers see you,especially when it’s dark.This definitely helps.—Matt mcfarland,Writer Goodreads appAlthough this isn’t a gift,the free Goodreads app is a gamechanger.At the beginning of2019, I promised myself I’d read at least one new book every month.I set a goal of12books on Goodreads and used it to track my progress,keep a list of books I’m interested in and check out what friends and others on the app were recommending.I read35books this year!(That’s up from five books last year.)Goodreads feels like one of the rare feel-good social networks.—Kaya Yurieff,Tech Reporter Ember coffee cupI drink my coffee slowly so it has routinely cooled by the time I get halfway through it.For my birthday,my mum bought me a cup($99),which keeps my coffee warm until I finish it without trips to the microwave for reheating.I can also set the specific temperature I want.It makes my mornings so much easier.—Millie Dent,Intern21.What is the main advantage of Lumos Matrix helmet?A.Helping drivers concentrate.B.Managing the bad weather.C.Making night riding safer.D.Making bikers less painful.22.What does the writer mean by referring to the Goodreads app as“a gamechanger”?A.It changes some readers’reading rules.B.It provides readers with free internet games.C.It limits the number of books a reader can read.D.It inspires readers to read more through interactions.23.Which of the following can best describe Ember coffee cup?A.Eco-friendly.B.Convenient.C.Expensive.D.Simple.BEvery year,the brightest young scientists from around the globe come together to participate in the world’s largest pre-college science competition,the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair(ISEF).They demonstrate their knowledge of science and engineering to improve the way we work and live.One of2019’s winners,Katie Lu,found a method for removing oil from water.This concept can also be applied to the removal of microplastics from our oceans as well.Here is what Katie told reporters:My experience at Intel ISEF was amazing!I remember on judging day,walking the exhibit hall and looking at the people gathered outside waiting to get in.My teacher turned to me and said,“That’s the future right there.”It was so amazing to spend time with all of these participants who are going to do amazing things in the future.My scientific career has taught me not to fear failure and not to be afraid to ask for help.It’s really easy to be overwhelmed(挫败)and wonder if what you’re doing is going to work out,but even if it doesn’t,it’s OK!Always look on the positive side!A failure now doesn’t mean you’re a failure forever.Failure makes success feel earned when it comes.Also,asking for help is good when you’re struggling.You learn how to do things a lot faster and more efficiently.I’m shocked that some people are still skeptical about climate change.It is real,it is dangerous and it is one of the most important issues of our generation.Reducing carbon emissions isn’t a“should”,it is a“must”to continue living on the planet.Additionally,people aren’t really worried about their personal impact on the earth in terms of littering,overusing plastic or wasting resources.If we don’t curb harmful human activity before it’s too late,it will be a problem that affects all humans,not just those that contribute.24.What seems to concern Katie most?A.Ocean exploration.B.The overpopulation on the earth.C.Environmental problems.D.The shortage of natural energy.25.What can we learn from what Katie’s teacher said?A.No Intel ISEF,no future.B.All the talents are at the Intel ISEF.C.The participants will make the future amazing.D.Katie should try to do better than the other participants.26.What does Paragraph5mainly tell us？A.The setbacks Katie experienced in her science.B.The relationship between failure and success.C.Seeking help is a shortcut to doing things well.D.What Katie has gained from her scientific career.27.What does the underlined word“curb”in the last paragraph most probably mean?A.punish.B.control.C.deny.D.measure.CYou can take fish oil.You can invest in a language class,or some hours of exercise every week.There are countless ways to improve your memory and cognitive functioning(认知功能). You know,the brain-training industry is expected to reach$8billion by2022.But the cheapest, easiest,and most time-tested way to sharpen your brain is right in front of your face.That's why moms are always on their kids'cases to turn off the TV and pick up a good book.But there's something astonishing about how it can make it.The most basic effect occurs in the area associated with language reception.Processing written material——from the letters to the words to the sentences to the stories themselves—takes your attention to interpret the information.Typically,when you read,you have more time to think，judge and even criticize.And the very nature of such an ordinary activity encourages the brain to work harder and better,deepening your understanding of your course and your future career.And the benefits of reading continue long after you've put down that great book.It is clarified that some of those benefits last for five days.We call that a shadow activity,almost like a muscle memory——that means,even if you are a retired sportsman now,some skills can still be stored in your memory.That means the language part of the brain would get a workout from reading.What if you are a poor,or even a dyslexic,reader who feels as if you'll never be able to read enough to get these benefits?A book can fix that problem too!According to a study,one hundred hours of remedial(补救的)reading classes significantly improved the quality of the brains'white matter,where information is processed.So turn off your phone and your computer,set aside a good hour or two——and just read on a regular basis.28.The text is mainly written to.A.show the power of knowledgeB.persuade people to read regularlyC.clarify the benefits of good hooksD.introduce how to improve memory29.What does the underlined"such an ordinary activity"in Paragraph2refer to?A.judging.B.thinking.C.learning.D.reading.30.What does the third paragraph suggest?A.Reading has a long-time influence.B.Books are needed if you want to graduate.C.The retired sportsmen have good memories.D.Reading a lot is beneficial to one's muscles.31.For whom is the text mainly intended?A.Parents.B.Office workers.C.College students.D.University graduates.DCan't you stand the sound of heavy breathing or sipping soup?Does the sound of someone chewing gum next to you make your blood boil?You are not alone,but you are not going crazy—there's a really scientific reason why.If you shrink back when someone twists their knuckles(指关节),you might want to get checked out for misophonia,a brain abnormality that creates"a hatred of sounds such as eating, chewing,loud breathing,or even pen-clicking,"TIME reports.Actually,it's just one of the strange habits that prove you're smarter than everyone else.Although researchers first coined the term misophonia in2001,doubt has been thrown on it by the medical community.But thanks to recent research,it can be safely drawn that everyday noises can ruin people's lives.A team at Newcastle University in the U.K.examined MRI brain scans(核磁共振脑扫描)of those with and without misophonia while playing a range of sounds.The sounds were either neutral(like rain or water boiling),unpleasant(a baby crying or a person screaming),or trigger sounds(the sounds of breathing or eating).The researchers noted significant changes in misophonia sufferers'brain activity when they heard a"trigger sound."Turns out,those with misophonia have a developmental difference in their brains frontal lobe(额叶)that causes their brains to react harshly to those triggers.It also causes them to sweat and their heart rates to increase."For many people with misophonia,this will come as welcome news as for the first time we have shown a difference in brain structure and function in sufferers,"said Dr Sukhbinder Kumar. "This study shows the critical brain changes as further evidence to convince a skeptical medical community that this is a real disorder."32.What is the best title for the text?A.Keep off such sounds around youB.Troubled by the sound of chewingC.Can we make use of these soundsD.Never be afraid of such noise again33.What can be inferred from the second paragraph?A.Misophonia can be a sign of intelligence.B.Misophonia is actually a physical disability.C.The teen misophonia has been widely accepted.D.Noise pollution has ruined many lives until now.34.What does Kumar think of the research?A.Cold.B.Favorable.C.Doubtful.D.Neutral.35.Where is the text most probably taken from?A.A guidebook.B.A review.C.A magazine.D.An interview.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。
