A
As is tradition, technology companies from around the world have flocked to Las Vegas for the annual Consumer Electronics Show. There are thousands of eye-catching items to swoon over, whether you’re a nerd or not. Here are a few of the most interesting, exciting and possibly life-changing products seen at the show, which runs from Tuesday to Friday.
Item 1
You thought your curved TV was cool? The LG Signature OLED TV R is a 65-inch 4K TV that is, unlike your lame and rigid screen, rollable, and can retract(收回) into its base when you’re not enjoying it. While you can control it using either Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, the TV R also supports Apple’s AirPlay 2 and HomeKit.

Item 2
Gaming laptops aren’t new, but they usually lack power compared to their beefier desktop counterparts. Nvidia’s latest announcement changes that, and brings the desktop-class power found in its RTX line of graphics cards to laptops. More than 40 laptop models will turn up by the end of the month with RTX graphics cards inside, which can produce more realistic graphics and boost performance for the most gamers.

Item 3
If sleeping is harder than it should be, the Dreem band might be able to help you figure out what you’re doing wrong. The Dreem band is a fabric-covered headband that wraps around your head and uses a combination of sensors like the ones in your Apple Watch to detect various biometrics like your heart rate and respiration activity. It also uses bone conduction to communicate audio cues to you privately.

Item 4
Samsung’s shown off its Micro LED technology in the past, using it to build The Wall, a 146-inch TV. The company’s now showing off a smaller Micro LED TV. Using Samsung’s Micro LED panels, you can create a variety of display sizes supporting different aspect ratios, going from an ultra-wide 21:9 screen to a perfectly square 1:1 display without losing image quality.

125、If one likes doing things by himself, which of the items suits him best?
A．Item 1. B．Item 2.
C．Item 3. D．Item 4.
1、Which of the following technologies appeared for the first time in the show?
A．The TV R User’s controlling the TV by Google Assistant
B．Nvidia’s laptops’ solving the problem of power
C．The Dreem band’s detect your heart rate
D．Samsung’s Micro LED technology making a 146-inch TV possible

B
The hemlock(铁杉) trees along the Wappinger Creek, New York, look healthy. However, scientist Gary Lovett says the white balls which provide protection for the bugs are created by a tiny insect. It’s hard to believe the tiny bug could kill a tree. However, trees can end up with millions and millions of the pests. When there are that many, it ends up killing the tree.
The bug from East Asia is slowly killing trees across the USA．The trouble－making bug is just one of many invasive(入侵的) pests that have slipped into the United States. They can hurt other living things in their new home.
Many invasive pests arrive on wooden pallets piled inside shipping containers. They support and separate goods, and keep them from sliding around. Invasive pests often tunnel into the pallets. How can we stop pests from riding on pallets? Lovett says new rules are needed. The companies that make pallets don’t want more rules. Congress has added an amendment(修正案) in the 2018 Farm Bill to try and prevent this problem. However, Lovett is not hopeful it will make much of a difference. Pallets are checked by inspectors. Many are sprayed with bug－killing pesticide. “I believe in the system，” said Brent McClendon, president of The National Wooden Pallet and Container Association. He also said shipping containers are checked very carefully.
Still, each year 13 million containers are shipped to the U.S. Each is full of wooden pallets. Lovett says: “Inspectors can’t possibly check everything. All it takes are a few bad pallets; we should get rid of wooden pallets.” He believes pallets should be made of plastic or eco－composite wood. Eco－composite wood is a mix of wood fiber and plastic. Insects cannot hide into it. One problem is that these choices cost more. They may be worth the extra money, though. Invasive pests cost the U.S. $5 billion a year. Trees don’t just die in forests. They also die in cities and our yards. Then, they need to be replaced. That costs money, too.
1、All the statements are TRUE except that ________.
A．pesticide has been applied to bug－killing
B．invasive pests are native to Wappinger Creek
C．invasive pests hide in pallets used in shipping
D．the companies making pallets don’t want more rules
2、What can we infer from the passage?
A．Bugs can be easily spotted by eyes.
B．Bugs ruin the shipping goods slowly.
C．Bugs won’t bother the tree if just in few numbers.
D．Bugs cover trees with white soft balls for protection.
3、Why does Gary Lovett want to get rid of wooden pallets?
A．Because insects mostly die in them.
B．Because plastic pallets are eco－friendly.
C．Because they are not worth extra money.
D．Because they are the major pest carriers.
4、What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Invasive pests are harming plants in the USA．
B．Effective measures have stopped the pest invasion.
C．Congress contributes a lot to dealing with invasive pests.
D．Ecosystem in the USA is poorly damaged by invasive woods.
