The Ig Nobel Prize, a spoof (滑稽模仿) of the actual Nobel Prize, exists to award the 10 strangest research projects of the year that bring you fun and make you think. The following are three of them in 2019. Medicine Prize: Pizza It’s one of the world’s most popular foods. According to the Ig Nobel Medicine Prize winner, eating more pizzas can lower the risk of cancer and heart disease — if your pizza is loaded with fruits and veggies. These provide flavonoids (类黄酮) to fight against certain diseases. So, if you’re a pizza enthusiast, you now have one more reason to love it! Economics Prize: Dirty Money Paper money, the most frequently passed items on the planet, is known to pick up all kinds of bacteria. Which country’s currency is the dirtiest? An international team compared seven countries’ paper money. The Romanian Leu was the only one to carry all three types of bacteria tested. And the US Dollar was also a finalist. Perhaps this will make cashless payments more popular. Biology Prize: Cockroach Cockroaches (蟑螂) are well known for their survival abilities, but few folks know they can sense magnetic fields. More surprisingly, an international team found that dead cockroaches have more magnetic properties (磁性) than live ones. That’s because magnetic properties decrease when the temperature gets higher. So if you can stand cockroaches, they may be good magnetic sensors. 【1】What do the three prizes have in common? A.They are well-known to the general public. B.They are entertaining and unusual. C.They’ve gained the recognition of the Nobel Prize. D.They are stranger than any other project in previous years. 【2】What can we learn from the passage? A.People with heart disease should eat more pizzas. B.US Dollar is relatively dirtier than Romanian Leu. C.Dirty paper money leads to cashless payments. D.Dead cockroaches are better magnetic sensors than live ones. 【3】In which column can you find this passage in a newspaper? A.Discovery. B.Sports. C.Health. D.Business. |

Deciding to get her money's worth out of the wedding dress on which she spent over $1,000, an Australian woman has been wearing her wedding dress, a year after her wedding. 43-year-old Tammy Hall adopted a new lifestyle-anti-consumerism (反消费主义) lifestyle in 2016, after a trip to India opened her eyes to how much we as a society consumed. She decided not to buy any new clothes or footwear for a whole year after she returned home to Adelaide, in Southern Australia, and she managed to make it. But last year, as her wedding day approached, she faced a dilemma. She wanted to look good on the most important day of her life, but how could she spend a small fortune on the wedding dress she would only wear on that day? "In the end I decided that if I was going to get a wedding dress, I'd make sure I could get my money's worth," Hall tells PA Real Life. "The first time I wore it after the wedding was to vote in the Australian election in early 2019," the 43-year-old adds. "Since then, it's been to all sorts of places. Wearing it on a crowded train was especially funny, but I've worn it to do housework, to football games and to the gym." Hall says that she has gotten some strange looks from people, but no irritating comments. It may have something to do with the fact that the dress is not the fanciest, but she believes people are just too reserved to say anything. Anyway, she doesn't really care, because she knows she has to hit the goal she has set and wearing the dress multiple times is the most reasonable way she could think of to make the most of her wedding dress. Hall now plans to wear her wedding dress on a trip to Iceland that she and her partner will take next summer. 【1】Why did Tammy Hall adopt a new lifestyle? A.To adapt herself to Indian life. B.To cut down her consumption. C.To save money for her next trip. D.To get prepared for her wedding. 【2】What did Tammy Hall do to get her money's worth out of her wedding dress? A.She brought fun to people with it. B.She tried to wear it to earn money. C.She wore it repeatedly in daily life. D.She got it exchanged again and again. 【3】Which of the following best explains the word "irritating" underlined in paragraph 6? A.Thrilling. B.Annoying. C.Amusing. D.Confusing. 【4】What can we infer about Tammy Hall? A.She is determined to turn her ideas into practice. B.She values her wedding dress less than her trips. C.She has been struggling to make the ends meet. D.She has influenced people's lifestyle widely. |

Ants keep traffic flowing by changing their behavior to meet changing conditions, according to new research. For their experiment, researchers from the University of Toulouse and the University of Arizona focused on Argentine ants, which are only 2-3 millimeters long and frequently move from colony (栖息地) to colony depending on how far food is. Tapping into the ants' talent for fast commutes (通勤), the researchers constructed bridges between their colonies. The bridges varied in width from a fifth to three-quarters of an inch. Then the researchers sat back and monitored the traffic. To their surprise, even when those narrower bridges were nearly overloaded, there were no 20-ant pile-ups. And traffic remained steady regardless of how crowed the bridges were because ants could adjust to the flow of road conditions. "When crowding on the path increased, ants assessed it locally and adjusted their speed accordingly to avoid any interruption of traffic flow," the researchers said. "Moreover, ants avoided entering a crowded path and made sure the bridge was never overloaded." The lesson for humans? The traffic problem mostly lies in our loss of the quality that the ants have. You've probably noticed it on your own commute to work. Driving is fun when there're few cars on the road-a lane-change (车道变换)here, a little acceleration there. Then traffic slows down. But some impatient drivers still constantly move between lanes. "Traffic jams are common in human society where some people are focusing on their own personal objectives," the researchers said. "In contrast, ants share a common goal: the survival of the colony, thus they're expected to act cooperatively to get food." The research also suggests that the ever-widening of highways may never free us from traffic jams. As long as we drive along with our own agendas, no matter how many other people are on the road, we'll always end up in a traffic jam. Indeed, less space may be a good thing. It leaves less room for personal choices and forces us to take a page from the driving handbook of ants. 【1】What did the researchers do to the ants in the experiment? A.They fed them with much delicious food. B.They trained them to avoid heavy traffic. C.They built bridges linking their colonies. D.They improved their colonies constantly. 【2】How did the ants behave during the experiment? A.They worked together to remove the road blocks. B.They sped up to get out of the traffic jam quickly. . C.They made their way carefully in the given direction. D.They adjusted themselves for the flow of the traffic. 【3】What is the biggest cause of the traffic jam in human society? A.Poor road const ruction. B.People's inability to adjust. C.People's selfish driving. D.Too many vehicles on roads. 【4】What is the text mainly about? A.What ants help us do for driving safety. B.What ants can teach us about traffic jams. C.Why ants drive much better than humans. D.Why ants are best at handling traffic jams. |

A rainy day can be a chance to recharge. While you relaxed on the sofa with a movie, the raindrops falling on your windows might one day provide the power for your TV. This is the idea behind an invention that harvests energy from water. The technology is based on the triboelectric (摩擦电的)effect. An engineer at the University of Hawaii, David Ma knew that it’s possible to generate electricity by rubbing two things together. So, he thought, “Why don’t we use water?” A drop of water sliding across a surface coated with two different materials would generate enough friction to create an electrical charge. By placing metal wires that the drop of water touched as it moved, it should be possible to harvest electricity, he reasoned. It worked. In fact, the researchers lit up 15 LED bulbs with a single moving water drop. This is not the first time that scientists have got electricity from water-generated friction( 摩 擦 ). Earlier experiments, though, harvested the charge produced in a surface by a sliding drop of water. There, the surface had acted as an electrode(电极). This is different. The energy of friction is being harvested from the water itself. “It turns out,” Ma says, “the charge in the water drop is way more than the charge produced in the other electrode.” In fact, his team’s model generated almost 100 times more power than previous experiments from a single drop of water. “The technology could someday power phones, sensors or other small electronics,” says Christopher Oshman, an engineer at the Colorado School of Mines. “This work is a step toward harvesting the energy of moving objects all around us, including ourselves, to power the electronic appliances we use every day,” he says. Ma has shown that the technology can work in a lab, Oshman says. Next, the Colorado researcher would like to see it tried on a larger scale, such as on an umbrella. 【1】How did the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By telling a story. B. By raising a question. C. By giving an example. D. By imagining a situation. 【2】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The wire. B. The drop of water. C. The surface. D. The electricity. 【3】What is unique about Ma’s technique compared with earlier experiments? A. The water itself acts as an electrode. B. It is based on the triboelectric effect. C. It produces electricity from water-made friction. D. It uses a surface coated with two different materials. 【4】What does Oshman say about Ma’s technology? A. It has a promising future. B. It will do well on an umbrella. C. It works well in the real world. D. It will replace batteries someday. |

Supporting Others We’re always being told that the secret to happiness lies in helping others, Indeed, it’s natural to want to support those we care about, especially if we are in a position to do so. 【1】 When we offer support, it may not always be wanted. 【2】 In this case, offering support in the manner of “... if l were you, I would …” can feel like a scolding rather than support. If our support feels conditional, it can feel burdensome. 【3】 When someone is trying to manage illness or a house move, just saying, “What would help you today?” can be amazingly supportive. Or, suggest what you can do for them: picking up some shopping, taking the dog for a walk. Even if it’s not needed, just knowing you’ve been thought of can be supportive in itself. Try to be mindful of offering support that is disabling, rather than enabling. My son, when aged five, wanted to make a cup of tea. I could see how inspiring it was to him to be able to do this. So I filled the kettle and took him through the safety measures. It felt like a huge risk but it worked. His pleasure was immeasurable. The same principle applies when we offer support that increases someone else’s capacity.【4】 Sometimes the only support that’s needed is to listen without judgement. 【5】 This reassures (使安心) them that someone cares enough to listen while they ground themselves. When times are tough, remember to keep things stable. Waiting until the storm has passed is all it takes. Support often works best when it’s a two-way process. It is good to know how to accept help from others as well as offer support to them. A.Walk alongside someone and make comments. B.Come up with a couple of ideas for your friends. C.Ask what support is needed and provide a practical one. D.This can often be a bigger gift than just doing it for them. E.But we can do more by thinking about the support we offer. F.Sometimes people arc trying to manage life in their own way. G.Just be there, occasional while someone lets out their feeling. |

阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写, 使之构成一个完整的故事。 Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see!” “No,” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into mischief(trouble). Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me. ” “You are a coward, and afraid to go,” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual. But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together. Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun. A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4.续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: Robert was fast sinking. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Thus, Robert’s life was saved. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
