Likely to suffer from loss of memory from time to time? Smart cameras can now remind you.

Khai Truong at the University of Toronto in Canada and his colleagues have created a smartphone app that records interactions with household objects. The system involves a barcode-like markers that the user sticks to objects whose use they would like to track.

With the smartphone worn around your neck, the app automatically records a short video clip when a marked object comes into view. “The user is able to look through the application and see the last time they interacted with it. " says Truong. The app can help people track the state of objects — such as whether they locked a door or switched a light off—as well as routine actions. At present it successfully records about 75% of interactions, but only works for fixed objects.

A similar but separate system can solve the problem. E. Akin Sisbot and Jonathan Connell at IBM Research in New York have invented a ceiling-mounted（安装在天花板上的）camera that monitors objects and people. It continuously watches an area such as a tabletop in your home, tracking the placement of objects in relation to one another. It also remembers who first brought an object into the field of view as well as anyone moved it for afterwards. When asked, “Where is my wallet?” the system might respond, “It is next to the vase, under the magazines. ”

The camera could also be used in factories or operating theatres to track a vital tools, says Sisbot. For now, the camera uses a deep sensor to spot things. It is limited to detecting objects thicker than 3 centimeters, meaning that it has trouble with thin objects such as a closed laptop placed flat on a table.

The accuracy of such smart camera systems may need to improve before they are widely adopted, “You’ve got to trust the technology for it to be of any comfort or reassurance. ” says Geoffrey Ward at the University of Essex in UK.

4. How does the smartphone app mentioned in Paragraph 2 work?

A. By switching of electricity automatically.

B. By scanning barcodes of household objects.

C. By recording the movement of marked objects.

D. By informing owners of potential dangers.

5. What is the limitation of the ceiling-mounted camera?

A. It is unlikely to make a sound.

B. It is unable to recognize movable objects.

C. It fails to find objects thinner than 3 centimeters.

D. It hardly senses objects without barcode-like markers.

6. What is Geoffrey Ward’s attitude towards smart camera systems?

A. Neutral   B. Supportive    C. Skeptical   D. Opposed

C．

Soot (煤) pollution is speeding up climate-driven melting in Antarctica, a new study suggests, raising questions about how to protect the delicate continent from the increasing number of humans who want to visit.

“It really makes us question, is our presence really needed?” says Alia Khan, one of the authors of the new study. “We have quite a large black carbon footprint in Antarctica, which is enhancing snow and ice melt.”

Black carbon is the leftover thing from burning plants or fossil fuels. Soot in Antarctica comes primarily from waste gases of cruise ships (游轮), vehicles and airplanes, although some pollution travels on the wind from other parts of the globe. The dark particles (微粒) coat white snow and absorb heat from the sun the way a black T-shirt does on a warm day. The blanket of dark bits speeds up melting that was already happening more quickly because of global warming.

When snow and ice are uncovered, they reflect an enormous amount of sunlight before it can turn into heat. “These are the mirrors on our planet,” says Sonia Nagorski, a scientist at the University of Alaska Southeast. “When those mirrors are covered in a film of dark bits, they don’t send back that much light and heat. That means more heat is trapped on Earth, speeding up melting and contributing to global warming.”

As a scientist who personally visits Antarctica every year, Khan says she is troubled by her own research results. On the one hand, she goes to Antarctica to collect crucial data about how quickly the snow and ice there are disappearing. “But then when we come to conclusions like this it really does make us think twice about how frequently we need to visit the continent,” she says, “and what kind of regulations should be placed on tourism as well.” That could mean requiring that cruise ships and vehicles be electric, for example, or limiting the number of visitors each year.

7. What is Khan’s attitude towards human actions in Antarctica according to paragraph 2?

A. Angry and abusive. B. Cold and uninterested.

C. Doubtful and anxious. D. Admiring and delighted.

8. What is the main cause of soot pollution in Antarctica?

A. The quick melting of ice and snow. B. The emission from various transport.

C. The remaining parts of burning plants. D. The floating gases from other continents.

9. What do we know from Nagorski?

A. The covered ice is less reflective.

B. The melting speed of ice is slower than before.

C. The dark blanket serves as a big mirror.

D. The sunlight gets increasingly stronger recently.

10. Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A. What made our planet so polluted? B. Who is to blame for air pollution?

C. Can electric vehicles save tourism? D. Are we welcome to the South Pole?

II.七选五题 （每小题 3分  满分15分）

Weeds, the fast-growing plants that cannot be eaten and do not bring flowers, are a common problem for gardeners. Some use chemicals to kill weeds. Others pull them up by hand or with heavy machinery. Luckily, there are other ways to limit their growth.

For starters, there are mulches（护根物）which can bury weeds. Mulches are made from organic material, such as leaves, grass cuttings, and small pieces of wood. They are spread over the ground in a garden to control weeds. Organic mulches break down over time. __11__ That is not a bad thing, because their decomposition （分解）creates nutrients for plants and humus（腐殖质）to keep soils wet and full of fresh air.

Plastic mulch is another way to stop weeds. Common black plastic is easy to lay down. It also effectively blocks weeds and helps soil warm faster in the spring. __12 __A reflective plastic mulch, for example, keeps some plant-eating insects away. A major problem with plastic is that it breaks apart over time, so eventually it needs to be thrown away, plus it adds nothing to the soil as far as nutrients or humus. __13__

Finally, in addition to direct attacks on weeds, how you plant your garden can indirectly influence weed growth. For example, close spacing of plants in the garden blocks sunlight from reaching the ground and can limit weed growth. And using a watering method known as drip irrigation will direct small amounts of water to the roots of your plants instead of the weeds. __14 __Lying in soil are millions of weed seeds just waiting to be awakened by light and air.

__15__ Instead, your goal is simply to limit their growth in the garden.

A. So you must add more to your garden often.  

B. So it is by far the best support for plant growth.

C. And plastic also can block air from reaching the soil.

D. A small group of geese can clear weeds in half a hectare of land.

E. Whether or not you dig up your soil also influences weed growth.

F. Using any or all of these methods will not permanently stop weed growth.

G. Recent experiments with other colored plastic have shown effects on both bugs and plant

growth.
