10、serious illness or death. So we spray large areas with chemicals to wipe out mosquitoes. But this has a bad influence on the whole ecosystem and your health. Now theres a new device (装置), which claims to keep you and your loved onesmosquitofree：What are we talking about?Mosquitron, a brand new type

12、 insects through a oneway trapdoor.Once trapped in the drying basket, they are dried to death by the fan within 2 minutes. You can simply empty the dead bugs into the trash, without even touching them.No need for batteries or any chemicals.How much does it cost?Its now 179.99. It may seem expensive

13、at first, but when you consider most devices needregular, expensive refills and dont work for more than 10 minutes, this is a pretty good deal. In fact, competitor products using the same UV technology are priced at over 250! Now you canbuy it from the suppliers website with 50% off and with free sh

BAn advertisement.CAn instruction. DA report.BThe spine (脊柱) stands at the center of your health, providing your

16、 body with structure and support. It also contains a major collection of nerves that deliver electric signals from the rest ofthe body to your brain. Since your spine is so central to health, its important to take care of it.Staying in a good position is one of the most important things you can do t

17、o keep your spine healthy. A proper position means standing or sitting while keeping your spine straight, except for its natural bending. Positions play a vital part even when youre asleep. Stomach sleeping is far from a good idea. Many people prefer sleeping on their side, which is in the interests

18、 of their spine. Sleeping on your back has lots of benefits yet can cause lower back pain and put some pressure onyour spine.Staying still for too long even if your position is good can be hard on your back. Especially if you work at a task most of the day, its important to get up and stretch (伸展)pe

19、riodically. Therefore, exercise is also a key part in the health of your spine. Stretches can helpthe muscles (肌肉) around your spine relax. Strength exercises with light weights or body weight exercises like pushups can also help by strengthening the muscles. However, dont overdo theexercise, as rep

20、eated movements can hurt the muscles around the spine, as trying to lift heavyweights with poor technique.Your diet also affects the health of your spine because many vitamins are necessary for bonesand nerves. In particular, vitamin B and omega3 fatty acids help keep nerves healthy. Anotherimportan

21、t part is vitamin D, which is required for strong bones. Vitamin D can come from somefoods, but its also absorbed from sunlight, so it may help to do some exercises outside. At last, many of the actions necessary to keep a spine healthy are similar to those used to protect your health in other ways.

22、 So protect your back, and the rest of the body will benefit.24Which sleep position is best for our spine according to the passage?25What is suggested in Paragraph 3?ADoing a proper amount of exercise.BStaying still in a good position.CRepeating a certain movement more.DStrengthening muscles of the

24、ill, stay healthyCHealthy means, healthy spineDProper exercise, proper weightCThere may be no job more reactive than firefighting. You wait for the alarm to sound;when it does, you go and fight fires. However, what if there is an algorithm(计算程序) that can take the guesswork out of fire prevention? Fo

25、r more than a year, the Fire Department of NewYork(FDNY) has been doing just that. Using a data tool called FireCast 2.0, it has beenprioritizing(排序) which ones of the hundreds of thousands of buildings in the city are at the highest risk of having a fire. The software applies an algorithm from five

26、 city agencies, taking intoaccount as many as 20 different risk factors.It wasnt that long ago, in fact, that even a fire department as sophisticated(配备精良) as FDNY was keeping track of buildings in card catalogues in local fire houses. Each structure wouldhave its own card with basic information on

27、itwhen it was built, construction materialsandfrom that, company commanders were expected to determine which buildings were to be inspected(检查). Building inspections were a key part of fire prevention in cities like New York,and that, as you might suspect, wasnt a very efficient way to handle them.

28、Usually, the FDNYstruggled to meet its annual goal of inspecting 10 percent of the 330,000 buildings in the city for which it was responsible. But FireCast 2.0 has already simplified that process, allowing the department to more accurately target the most fireprone buildings, many of which havent be

29、en inspected for years.The FDNY is pleased with the big advance it has made in whats known as “smart firefighting”， but its only a first step. Later this year, the department is expected to upgrade toFireCast 3.0, an even more powerful tool that will analyze three years data from 17 different cityag

30、encies for every one of the 330,000 buildings. Each will be given a fire risk score. But that list will be updated dailyif a building receives a trash violation, for instance, its score may rise on the next days list. Compiling(汇集) the data from all those buildings will take only 90 minutes,accordin

31、g to a report from the National Fire Protection Association.A very different approach to the future of firefighting was unveiled(揭露) recently by the US. Office of Naval Research. Its a 18pound robot named SAFFIR, and it was designed by engineers at Virginia Tech to put out fires where theyre most da

32、ngerous. During a recent test,SAFFIR was able to find fire through thick smoke and extinguish(扑灭) the flames. Maybe moreimpressively, it displayed its sea legs, able to stay upright on a rolling ship. That, according to SAFFIRs designers, may have been their biggest challenge.SAFFIR still struggles

33、to navigate(穿过) doorways and stairwells. In the test, in fact, its movements were controlled by a human. While it will likely be paired with a human for some time,SAFFIR may eventually be able to move and make decisions on its own.28. According to the passage, whats the main function of FireCast 2.0

34、?A. To make the alarm sound for a longer time.B. To reduce firefighters chances of being injured.C. To prevent the fire from spreading further.D. To predict places that are more likely to catch fire.29. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. The FDNY doesnt keep track of buildings in card catalogues.

35、B. The FDNY is only responsible for inspecting buildings in New York.C. The FDNY has failed to meet its annual goal of building inspections.D. The FDNY gets its staffs workload reduced by using FireCast 2.0.30. According to the passage, FireCast 3.0 _.A. can analyze more data than FireCast 2.0 doesB

36、. has already been used by each fire departmentC. will update the fire risk scores every 90 minutesD. will keep a record of information on buildings in 13 cities31. According to the passage, SAFFIR _.A. is able to make decisions on its ownB. is not ready to be brought into useC. was originally desig

37、ned to be used on shipsD. is mainly used to lead the way for firefightersDI grew up eating eggs from white shells; I didnt know they could be any other color.Our eggs came from the grocery store in styrofoam packaging, and the eggs in the refrigerators at all my friends houses were exactly the same.

38、 Life in the 1970s and 1980s meant no farmers markets, no trips to farms and no concept of food variety.When I began buying my eggs at the farmers market, things changed. The eggs were brown and usually in paperboard cartons or Styrofoam cartons that were clearly being reused.I know Im not the only

39、one who had that experience with eggs, so its no wonder that many people assume brown eggs are more nutritious(有营养的). If were working off the assumptionthat all white eggs at the grocery store come from big factory farms and that all brown eggs comefrom local farmers who raise freerange(放养的) chicken

40、s. sure. Brown is better.But is that true?Eggshell color is determined by the breed(品种) of the hen, not by the conditions in whichthe chicken is raised. Generally speaking, you can tell whether eggs will be white by looking at a hens earlobes, the colored skin on the side of the head. Hens with whit

41、e earlobes generally lay white eggs. Hens with brown or reddish earlobes generally lay eggs that are brown, or sometimes light green, blue or a speckled creamy color, according to Michigan State University Extension.No one breed of hen, however, is proven to lay a more nutritious egg than another, d

42、espite the color of the eggshell. Not all eggs are created equal because not all hens are raised the same way.A test done by Mother Earth News on eggs taken from 14 flocks around the country whose hens were allowed frequent access to fresh pasture, land covered with grass, found that true freerange

43、eggs were nutritionally superior to eggs sold in grocery stores.“True” freerange means just that eggs from the grocery store that are marketed as free rangedo not necessarily come from hens that have spent their days wandering the barnyard, getting fresh air and eating a natural diet. When “Freerang

44、e” is on an egg carton, it means that thechickens can move around their building and have access to the outdoors “during their productioncycle”But access doesnt guarantee time outside. Theres no regulation that says getting to that doorhas to be easy, how big the outdoor area must be, or that a chic

45、ken ever has to get outside. A chicken in a crowded henhouse may never get to the door, and if it manages to go through it, it may find theres no room for it in the small area outside.Thats why its so hard to determine if freerange eggs at the store come from truly freerange chickens. At a farm or f

46、armers market, you can ask about the conditions that the hens are raised in before you buy.Another factor in the nutrition of an egg is the hens diet. Although chickens are not vegetarians(素食者) by naturebugs and worms are part of their natural dietsConsumerReports tested grocery store eggs and found

47、 that “hens fed vegetarian diets tended to have moreof certain vitamins and omega3s than those from hens fed a conventional diet”So when youre choosing eggs and aiming for nutrition, dont judge an egg by its shell color. White eggs can be just as nutritious as brown eggs. Hens that are kept in condi

48、tions that are natural to themwith access to the outdoors, sunlight and exerciseand fed a good diet are what youre looking for. To find them, youll need to ask some questions and, perhaps, pay a little more, because raising hens in pastures costs more than raising them at factory farming.32. When th

49、e author first saw eggs at a farmers market, _.A. they were fresher than those in grocery storesB. they had an unusual colourC. they cost less than those he had bought beforeD. they were variously packed33. It is implied in the passage that nowadays _.A. true freerange chickens can no longer be foun

50、d anywhereB. socalled freerange hens remain in henhouses all day longC. the word“freerange”is only used as a means of cheatingD. the definition of“freerange”can sometimes be ambiguous34. We can learn from the passage that _.A. nutritional value of eggs depends on nothing but what hens eatB. a diet m

51、ixed with plants and worms makes eggs more nutritiousC. farmers should feed hens scientifically to get highquality eggsD. the breed of hens should be improved for the purpose of nutrition35. To get eggs richer in nutrition, you need to _.A. analyse their nutritional composition B. investigate how th

52、e hens areraisedC. assure yourself of the eggs cost price D. discover where the eggs come from第二节(共 5小题:每小题2.5分，满分 12. 5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Travel and illness go hand in hand.
