第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The Island Rule is one of the best explanations scientists could give to the observable phenomenon that animals and humans have evolved (演变) depending on the resources available in their habitat (栖息地). Through time, scientists have noticed through fossil (化石) records that some large animals from mainland habitats have dwarf (矮小的) versions in bland habitats.
A report from BBC described the existence of what scientists call “hobbit island” off a small island somewhere in Indonesia. It was given such a name because fossil records of tiny, humanlike creatures have been found in the region. What they called as “hobbits” or “Homo Floresiensis”, are only as tall as one meter and arc small versions of early human species with tinier brains.
Though scientists cannot perfectly trace the origin of the “Homo Floriensis”, they believe that they arc human relatives, but it is the “island life” that has caused them to evolve as they have. Scientists have noticed through fossil records and existing organisms (有机体) today that it seems if large animals grow small in islands while small animals grow large in larger islands.
In theory, animal and human bodies have adjusted to the available food and fresh water in their habitats. Since there is no opportunity for them to leave their island, they might as well adapt.
New York Magazine explained that islands usually have fewer predators (捕食者) than mainland ecosystems. However, it is the lack of resources that cause the death of many animals. As a means of natural adaptation, the bodies of these animals have evolved smaller than their ancestors, making their bodies require fewer resources.
A report from Web Ecoist listed down a few examples of animals that have shrunk significantly compared with their ancestors. Some of these include the Bali tiger as small as leopards (豹).
1、How did the name “hobbit island” come from?
A．Scientists discovered dwarf people living on the island.
B．One meter tall human being made a living on these islands.
C．Scientists found human species with tinier brains on an island.
D．Evidences showing tiny, human-like creatures on the island were found.
2、What do you know about “Homo Floricnsis”?
A．They used to only live somewhere in Indonesia.
B．They were the earliest ancestor of human beings.
C．They look small compared with normal humans.
D．They gradually grew larger on the larger islands.
3、According to New York Magazine, .
A．animals on island lack enough food to live on
B．many animals died off for no apparent reason
C．too many predators will do damage to the ecosystem
D．predators make island animals turn smaller
4、What can be inferred from the text?
A．More predators can help animals grow stronger and larger.
B．Bali tiger turns small because of adaptation to the environment.
C．More food resources should be provided lo islands.
D．Animals on mainland arc fiercer than those on islands.

B
Microsoft has developed a new smartphone app that interprets eye signals and translates them into letters, allowing people with motor neurone disease to communicate with others from a phone.
The GazeSpeak app combines a smartphone’s camera with artificial intelligence to recognize eye movements in real time and convert them into letters, words and sentences.
For people suffering from ALS（渐冻症）, also known as motor neurone disease, eye movement can be the only way they are able to communicate.
“Current eye-tracking input systems for people with ALS are expensive, not robust under sunlight, and require frequent re-calibration（再校准）and relatively steady setups,” said Xiaoyi Zhang, a researcher at Microsoft who developed the technology.
“To reduce the shortcomings…we created GazeSpeak, an eye-gesture communication system that runs on a smartphone, and is designed to be low-cost, robust, portable and easy to learn.”
The app is used by the listener by pointing their smartphone at the speaker. A chart that can be stuck to the back of the smartphone is then used by the speaker to determine which eye movements to make in order to communicate.
The sticker shows four grids of letters, which each correspond to a different eye movement. By looking up, down, left or right, the speaker selects which grids the letters they want belong to. The artificial intelligence algorithm is then able to predict the word or sentence they are trying to say
Zhang’s research, Smartphone-Based Gaze Gesture Communication for People with Motor Disabilities, is set to be presented at the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in May.
1、According to the passage, which of the following is true about GazeSpeak?
A．The GazeSpeak app can recognize eye movements directly.
B．It allows ALS suffers to commucicate with others without a phone
C．ALS suffers can use several ways to communicate.
D．Smartphone app helps ALS suffers speak with their eyes.
2、Why is the new smartphone app better than the older one?
A．It’s economical, robust and easy to use.
B．It’s expensive, not robust under sunlight.
C．It requires frequent re-calibration.
D．It combines a smart phone’s camera with artificial intelligence.
3、What’s the real purpose of the passage?
A．To sell a new smartphone.
B．To persuade consumers to buy a new smartphone app.
C．To introduce a new smartphone app.
D．To develop a new smartphone app.
