填空题Is There Water Beneath the Lunar Surface? You can"t squeeze blood from a turnip (萝卜), and 21 you can"t squeeze water from moon rocks, either. A new analysis of samples 22 by the Apollo astronauts suggests that there is virtually no chance that water ever existed beneath the lunar (月球的) 23 . Scientists have been 24 for decades about whether the moon contains significant quantities of water. Theoretically, it should because the moon was once part of Earth—the moon was 25 by a disastrous collision between our planet and a Mars-size body over 4 billion years ago. Yet 26 chemical analyses in the 1970s and "80s of rocks that had been brought back by the Apollo missions turned up virtually no evidence of lunar water. More recently, using improved 27 to examine the molecular constituents (分子构成) of the rocks, researchers have found a very small amount of hydrogen (氢) —an indicator of water. In 2013, scientists also found evidence of water ice on the surface of the moon, but where did that ice come from was unclear. It was even 28 deposited by an ancient comet impact. It"s an important riddle (谜) to solve, as researchers would like to use lunar water to 29 rocket fuel for future deep-space missions. A team has 30 to solve the mystery. Recently, the researchers reported online in Science that the moon has basically zero subsurface water. A. apparently E. equipment I. initial M. presumably B. arguing F. facility J. maintaining N. returned C. attempted G. hardly K. manufacture O. surface D. created H. implicit L. potential

填空题Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2. The Internet of Everything Holiday Shopping Guide A．For the person on your list who has everything, the perfect holiday gift this season might just be the Internet of Everything. After all, Cisco believes the Internet of Everything (tech cognoscenti call it the "IoE") is a 14 trillion-dollar opportunity and General Electric says it will transform entire industries. The regular old Internet has relied on humans connecting to machines. The IoE is about machine—computers, phones, toys, appliances, robots, drones—connecting to humans and to each other. Since there are increasingly more machines than people, the IoE will end up being like the Internet on drugs. B．On a more common and personal level, the IoE is already solving some really big problems, for example, it can let you know whether your dog is getting enough exercise, or signal your smartphone when you're running out of eggs. With the IoE bearing down on us, I enlisted the help of gadget guru Greg Harper of Harpervision Associates, who scours the earth for new connected devices, to present the First Annual Too-Much-Expendable-Income IoE Gift Guide. C．For the executive who is too busy to keep anything alive, the IoE is all about the convergence (集合) of a bunch of tech trends" tiny sensors that can measure things; ubiquitous (无处不在的) wireless connections; cloud computing; devices like smartphones that can collect data and use it in an app. D．One popular IoE product, for example, is the Fitbit. Wear it on your wrist, and it tracks activity and displays your patterns on a phone app. Now, let's say you have a dog, and you suspect that while you're at the office all day, the dog doesn't even bother to expend the energy to bark at the UPS man. Well, you can get the Whistle ($99.95), which is basically a Fitbit for dogs. It can tell your smartphone if the dog is walking, playing, or sleeping. In this way, you can enjoy your dog right from your desk chair. E．Hyperbusy executives can also be very good at killing plants. One solution is the Parrott Flower Power ($59.99), a system of wireless sensors that you push into a plant's soil. Each sensor measures levels of water, light and nutrients, and talks to a phone app to call for help. "Basically, your plants are tweeting you," Harper says. F．For the person who can't keep track of stuff: Billy Crystal's new autobiography is titled, Still Foolin Em: Where I've Been, Where I'm Going, And Where Are My Keys? Someone should tell him there's an emerging category of IoE products designed to let you know what you've got and where it is—just in time for the millions of baby boomers losing their short-term memories. G．Some of these devices, like Tile, seem to be more useful than others, but here are two that don't seem to be useful at all: Behold the Egg Minder, billed as The Smart Egg Tray ($69.99). As the website says: "In-tray [LEDs] indicate the oldest egg, while push notifications alert you when you're running low." In its over-application of technology, this takes me back to the 1970s and Ronco's inside-the-egg scrambler (扰频器). H．Or there's the smart piggy bank, called—cue the groans—Porkfolio ($69.99). It tracks how many quarters go in and out, and talks to an app. that, the site says, lets you "track your balance and set financial goals from afar." Perfect for that little nephew who wears a suit to kindergarten and already plans to work at Goldman Sachs. I．For the person who eats too much and lets his or her teeth rot: HAPIfork ($99.99) is a Bluetooth-enabled fork that can tell when, how much and how fast you eat—just in case your spouse isn't already informing you. If you're eating too fast, the HAPIfork starts vibrating, which of course makes it harder to keep eating. J．Once you've given up trying to eat because food is jumping off your fork, pick up a Beam networked toothbrush ($24.99). This will keep track of how often and how long you brush, and report back to an app. If Orwell only knew. K．For the faded high school sports star who still obsesses over his or her performance, Data is transforming sports. Sensors and software allow professional teams to measure stuff no one could ever measure before, like how fast each player runs during a soccer game. Sports sensor technology is moving down to consumers. The basketball nut might enjoy the 94Fifty ball ($29). The ball can measure shot speed, dribble speed, backspin (倒旋), and shot arc, and feed it to a phone app that can then tell you how to play better, for instance, by increasing the arc on your shot. In 2003, I wrote about some inventors who built an incredibly complex machine just to measure basketball shot arc and sold it to the Dallas Mavericks. This is a better version of the same machine, in your pocket. L．For baseball, tennis, or golf, try the Zepp Labs training system ($150). Stick a tinysquare device on the end of a bat, racket or club, and it tracks speed and motion and sends 1,000 data points per second to an app. It can also measure the speed of your bat as you use it to smash your HAPIfork into tiny pieces. M．By themselves, none of these IoE gadgets seem like anything that could ramp up to a $14 trillion opportunity. But it's worth remembering that when electricity was new, one of the first household applications was the doorbell, invented in 1831. Imagine people giggling at the notion that a door knocker wasn't good enough. As Harper notes, today's HAPIfork and Whistle point the way to a new kind of household. The IoE will change daily life, much as electricity once did. Better start saving with your Porkfolio so you can pay for it.

As I waited in the {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}lobby, a stranger walked up to where I was sitting and stood close enough so that not only could I easily touch him but I could even hear him breathing. If the lobby had been crowded with people, I would have understood his {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}, but in empty lobby his presence made me very uncomfortable. Feeling annoyed by this intrusion, I moved my body in such a way as to communicate {{U}} {{U}} 6 {{/U}} {{/U}}Strangely enough, instead of moving away, my actions seemed to encourage him, because he moved even closer. Fortunately, a group of people soon arrived whom my tormentor immediately joined. Their {{U}} {{U}} 7 {{/U}} {{/U}}explained his behavior, for I knew from both speech and {{U}} {{U}} 8 {{/U}} {{/U}}that they were Arabs. I had not been able to make this {{U}} {{U}} 9 {{/U}} {{/U}}identification by looking at him when he was alone because he was wearing American clothes. For the Arab, there is no such thing as {{U}} {{U}} 10 {{/U}} {{/U}}in public. Public means public. If A is standing on a street comer and B wants his spot, B is within his rights if he does what he can to make A uncomfortable enough to move. A. mannerism B. crucial C. behavior D. intrusion E. inviolate F. annoyance G. specification H) sphere I) deserted J) deserved K) gestures L) visible M) visionary N) anxiety O) interference
