第一节 (共10小题;每小题2分，满分20分)

A

In the future those who are taking care of old people may get help from the house itself.

Over the last few years, new technology, such as the Internet, Wi-Fi and flat TV screens, has changed our homes and the way that we live. Now, another technology revolution is happening. A new project at the University of Hertfordshire wants to create a home that monitors people living in it who are elderly.

The researchers have developed a wristband device（装置）which helps us to watch the elderly person who is wearing it. The device collects information to see if the person has fallen or has wandered away from where he or she should be.

The assisted-living project is part of the university’s wider Interhome project, which is the development of a smart house. The house remembers the habits of the person who lives there and it uses very low amounts of energy. The Interhome team hope that offering this service will help take care of the elderly. They say, “It’s very important that these technologies are there to help and support and not replace any of the existing services.”

The Interhome is not just a research method. It’s also a way for students from different scientific backgrounds to learn and develop technology. The university uses the latest technology to help students get experience by developing new hardware and software themselves. The team includes design, engineering and computer science students working together.

“We are working on a smart-home project in Watford with some companies at the moment,” says the project leader. “We are looking at how a smart home can provide even more services.” This could help millions of old people around the world have a better and safer life in the future.

1. The wristband device benefits its users by       .

A. changing the living habits of the elderly

B. monitoring people who live in a smart home

C. offering information to the person wearing it

D. watching over the elderly who may fall or get lost

2. Whom does the University of Hertfordshire have in its research team?

A. Students who want to find a job eagerly.

B. Students who prefer to work on their own.

C. Students from different scientific backgrounds.

D. Students with a lot of rich working experience.

3. What is the project leader’s attitude towards the future of the smart home project?

A. Uncertain. B. Uninterested.

C. Optimistic. D. Disappointed.

4. What might be the main idea of the passage?

A. A wristband device has changed the way that we live.

B. A smart home helps students develop hardware and software.

C. An Interhome project has been put into use to help the elderly.

D An Interhome project will help the old live a better and safer life.

【答案】1. D    2. C    3. C    4. D

John von Neumann was the oldest of 3 children of a banker, and his speed of learning new ideas and solving problems stood out early. At 17, his father tried to persuade him not to become a mathematician because he might lead a poor life being a mathematician, so von Neumann agreed to study chemistry as well. In 1926, at 23, he received a degree in chemical engineering and a Ph.D. in mathematics. From then on, mathematics provided well enough for him, and he never had to turn to chemistry.

In 1930, von Neumann visited Princeton University for a year and then became a professor there. His first book was published in 1932. In 1933, the Institute for Advanced Study was formed, and he became one of the 6 full-time people in the School of Mathematics (Einstein was one of the others).

World WarⅡ hugely changed von Neumann’s areas of interest. Until 1940 he had been a great pure mathematician. During and after the war, he became one of the best mathematicians who put mathematical theories into practice. During the last part of the war he became interested in computing machines and made several fundamental contributions. After the war, von Neumann continued his work with computers, and was generally very active in government service. He received many awards, was president of the American Mathematical Society and was a member of the Atomic Energy Commission. He died of cancer in 1957.

Von Neumann made several great contributions and any one of them would have been enough to earn him a firm place in history. He is remembered as one of the greatest minds of the 20th century.

Von Neumann really is a legend in his own time, and there are a number of stories about him. His driving ability is a part of his legend. He reported one accident this way: “I was driving down the road. The trees on the right were passing me in an orderly fashion at 60 miles per hour. Suddenly one of them stepped in my path.”

5. According to the text, von Neumann’s father believed that ________ .

A. a mathematician couldn’t earn a lot of money

B. a mathematician needed a good memory

C. von Neumann had the ability to learn two subjects at the same time

D. von Neumann had the gift for solving problems at a high speed

6. Von Neumann published his first book at the age of ________.

A. 25 B. 26 C. 29 D. 32

7. How did World WarⅡ affect John von Neumann?

A. He realized the importance of engineering.

B. He began to research how to put mathematics into practice.

C. He left college and served at the government department.

D. He lost interest in chemistry.

【答案】5. A    6. C    7. B

C

If you could change your child’s DNA in the future to protect them against diseases, would you? It could be possible because of technology known as CRISPR-C, or just CRISPR.

CRISPR involves a piece of RNA, a chemical messenger, designed to work on one part of DNA; it also uses an enzyme (酶) that can take unwanted genes out and put new ones in, according to The Economist. There are other ways of editing DNA, but CRISPR will do it very simply, quickly, and exactly.

The uses of CRISPR could mean that cures are developed for everything from Alzheimer’s disease to cancer to HIV. By allowing doctors to put just the right cancer-killing genes into a patient’s immune system, the technology could help greatly.

The US National Academy of Sciences plans to discuss questions about CRISPR’s ethics (伦理问题). For example, CRISPR doesn’t work properly yet. As well as cutting the DNA it is looking for, it often cuts other DNA, too. In addition, we currently seem to have too little understanding of what DNA gives people what qualities.

There are also moral questions around “playing God”. Of course, medicine already stops natural things from happening—for example, it saves people from infections. The opportunities to treat diseases make it hard to say we shouldn’t keep going.

Also, according to The Economist, gene editing may mean that parents make choices that are not obviously in the best interests of their children: “Deaf parents may prefer their children to be deaf too; parents might want to make their children more intelligent at all costs.”

In the end, more research is still needed to see what we can and can’t do with CRISPR. “It’s still a huge mystery how we work,” Craig Mello, a Medical School biologist and Nobel Prize winner, told The Boston Globe, “We’re just trying to figure out this amazingly complicated thing we call life.”

8. What is the passage mainly about?

A. What we can and can’t do with CRISPR.

B. The advantages of CRISPR and arguments about its ethics.

C. How CRISPR was developed by scientists.

D. Scientists’ experiments of using CRISPR to edit human embryos.

9. What does the writer mean by saying “playing God” in Paragraph 5?

A. Playing jokes on religious people.

B. Asking God to help deal with moral questions.

C. Following the instructions of God.

D. Doing things that go against nature.

10. According to the passage, the technology of CRISPR ________.

A. is very safe because it only cuts the DNA it is looking for

B. is very helpful to cure people of any disease

C. could cause parents to make unwise choices for their children

D. could help us understand how complicated life is

【答案】8. B    9. D    10. C
