第二部分 阅读理解（满分40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。
21．（6分）Yasuda is 95 years old. Looking for easier ways to search the Web and send email, he bought Apple’s iPad. The company has sold 3.27 million iPads since they entered the market in April. Although it’s impossible to know with certainty how many seniors (老年人) are buying them, evidence suggests that it’s a hit with seniors.
The iPad’s intuitive interface (直观界面) makes it attractive to seniors around the world, says Takahiro Miura, a researcher at the University of Tokyou. “The iPad is a good tool for seniors because it’s very easy to use,” he says. Unlike the PC, it doesn’t require former knowledge.”
James Cordwell, a researcher in London, says the iPad’s popularity with seniors is helping Apple reach beyond its traditional base of young customers. “The world’s population, especially in developed markets, is getting older. It’s probably a market where Apple has least entered,” Cordwell says. Senior users are a key source of growth for them in the future.

Seniors make. up about 22 percent of the population in Japan. They may prove that seniors are willing to accept the iPad. Besides the customer group under 30, they spend more than any other group in the country, according to a report. Motoo Kitamura, 78, a former gas salesman, bought an iPad to help him communicate with his 2-year-old grandson and prevent him from experiencing some of the mental problems that sometimes come with getting older. “Trying new things like that is good mental exercise,” he says.
1、The underlined part “a hit” in Paragraph 1 probably means .
A．a sudden attack
B．a heavy burden
C．very familiar
D．quite popular
2、Which of the following is NOT an advantage of the iPad?
A．It has intuitive interface.
B．It is easy to operate.
C．People can use it as a way to do mental exercise.
D．Beginners can use it without similar experiences.
3、What can we learn from the text?
A．The traditional customers of Apples products are usually the young.
B．People above thirty are Apples largest customer group in Japan.
C．Seniors will soon grow into Apples largest customer group.
D．Seniors in Japan are fond of buying latest hi-tech products.
4、What is the text mainly about?
A．iPad influencing the customer group.
B．iPad leading Apple to seniors.
C．iPad’s arrival causing Japanese to think.
D．iPad beating the traditional PC．
22．（8分）There is a lot of talk about “brain power.” You don’t usually hear about stomach power. As it turns out, the stomach might also be very powerful with a new electronic pill inside it. The new electronic pill, equipped with a Wi-Fi transmitter, is swallowed and can harvest energy from inside a person’s own stomach to record core（核心）body temperature and then send the health data to an outside monitor.
The model can power itself for nearly a week—much longer than current absorbable devices, which are placed inside the body and only can share health information for less than an hour. “To make the device work even longer, and see if the stomach’s acid could power the device, we used tiny pieces of copper and zinc for experiments.” said Philip Nadeau, an electrical engineer who designed the device together.
The Wi-Fi devices fit inside a capsule but unfold when they hit the stomach and deliver drugs for long periods of time before they break down and pass through the body. This Wi-Fi pill could lead to fresh opportunities for drug delivery or real-time health monitoring from inside organs, said Giovanni Traverso, a doctor and biomedical engineer at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, who c0-led a study of the pill published recently in Nature Biomedical Engineering.
Despite our many medical advances, we’re pretty bad at measuring core body temperature. A recent study of 8,600 patients found that thermometer（温度计）readings from the mouth or skin did a lousy job of measuring core temperature. Getting an accurate temperature is important.
Traverso and Nadeau are also aiming to shrink（缩小）the pill to the size of a tablet. “Temperature tracking is just the first of many ways the medical community can use the device.” Traverse thinks.
1、What is WRONG about the Wi-Fi pill?
A．The Wi-Fi device is powered by itself.
B．The pill can send health data to the doctor.
C．Nadeau is the first one to design the pill.
D．The pill can help monitor patients’ health.
2、What does the underlined word “lousy” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Accurate. B．Unimportant.
C．Terrible. D．Traditional.
3、What is the Traverso’s attitude to the future of the Wi-Fi pill?
A．Pessimistic. B．Unconcerned.
C．Worried. D．Optimistic.
4、What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．The Wi-Fi pill is too big for the patients to swallow.
B．The pill may help those with other diseases in the future.
C．Body temperature is the only one use for the Wi-Fi pill.
D．The pill has been used in many ways in medical field.
23．（8分）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 or other motor impairments are expensive, not robust under sunlight, and require frequent re-calibration (重新校对) and substantial, relatively immobile setups,” said Xiaoyi Zhang, a researcher at Microsoft who developed the technology.
“To mitigate the drawback，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（计算程序） is then able to predict the word or sentence they are trying to say.
1、Who is the smartphone app designed for?
A．People with motor eye disease.
B．People suffering from eye communication.
C．People with problems in intelligence.
D．People suffering from motor neurone disease.
2、The underlined word “mitigate” in the fifth paragraph probably means
A．relieve B．get rid of
C．remove D．find
3、According to the text, ________.
A．for people suffering from ALS, eye movement is one of the best ways to communicate.
B．a new communication system that runs on a smartphone is designed to be immobile.
C．the speaker could use the app by pointing their smartphone at the listener.
D．the artificial intelligence algorithm will translate sentences for speakers.
24．（8分）Even though you can watch a movie on your TV, laptop or iPad these days, great theatres still make going to the movies worth buying a ticket-and sometimes even worth a trip.
.1. AMC Loews Uptown, Washington, D．C．
Local movie critics will tell you “The Uptown” is the best place to see a movie in the Washington, D．C．area. Opened in 1936, it’s not a movie theatre, but a movie palace featuring a single screen—a curved (弧形的), 70-foot long and 40-foot high screen, one of the largest in the area.

25．（10分）After shopping for deals in stores on “Black Friday”, or online on “Cyber Monday”, Americans and people worldwide are preparing for newly popular “Giving Tuesday”. Starting in 2012, now the global event that is celebrated annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving is the brainchild of 92nd Street Y, a cultural center in New York City and the United Nations Foundation.
As the name indicates, Giving Tuesday is meant to restart the charitable season and therefore observed by raising funds for local nonprofits and schools, organizing food and clothing drives, and conducting random acts of kindness. In 2015, 700,000 people from 71 countries came together to donate $116.7 million in cash. An additional $1.08 million was spent on gifts.
While the easiest way to participate is by donating to your favorite charity, this day can be celebrated in many other ways too. You can give back by volunteering at your local shelter or food bank, or even by donating blood. If all else fails, a purchase from the growing number of organizations that give a portion of their sales to charity will do the trick.
But perhaps the best way to celebrate the day is by helping those nearest and dearest to you. Assist a family member with a simple chore like folding laundry, cooking dinner, or even reading to a younger sibling. No matter what you do, be sure to share your good deed on social media and inspire others to celebrate Giving Tuesday as well!
