9、 four experiences are _. A. interesting sports B. exciting and extremeC. held on high places D. fit for middle to old peopleBDyslexia is a problem that restricts the ability to recognize words and connect sounds with letters when people read. People with this learning disorder may also have problems
10、 when they write. Dyslexia is not related to eyesight or intelligence. The problem involves areas of the brain that process language. Brain scientists are studying whether they can predict which young children may struggle with reading to provide them with early help. John Gabrieli at the Massachuse
11、tts Institute of Technology is leading the study of five-year-olds in about twenty schools in the Boston area.They studied in the schools with kindergartensAnd for all the children joining in the study, they give them a brief set of paper-and-pencil tests to look at which children appear to be at so
12、me risk for struggling to read. So far, fifty of them have been examined in a scanner, a special machine, to show brain activity. Written tests are not always able to identify dyslexia or other problems, while brain scans may offer a more scientific way to identify problems. And with reading problem
13、s, early identification is important. When it comes to helping children overcome reading difficulties, the younger the child, the more effective they are. Reading problems are not usually identified until a child is in the third or fourth grade. The later children are recognized as poor readers，the
14、less treatment can help. And, as Professor Gabrieli points out, poor reading can make education a struggle. Reading is everything. Even math and science have textbooks.While the children are given tasks related to reading, the brain scans measure the extent to which certain parts of the brain become
15、 active while the children do the work. The scientists say they are pleased with early results from the study, but have a long way to go.24. Dyslexia affects the part of brain concerning _.

18、nt a little extra security against thieves stealing your bicycle, designer Dennis Siegel has designed a solution. The RFID Bikealarm is attached to the seat on a bicycle and gives off an alarm when it senses movement.“The RFID Bikealarm is meant to be a useful add-on to mechanical bicycle locks beca
19、use it greatly extends the range of protection with only a few components,” Siegel explains on his website. “It is low-cost, durable and easy to use.”The Bikealarm was designed as part of Siegels Bachelors degree thesis at the University of the Arts Bremen in Germany. The device will scare off any w
20、ould-be thieves the moment they begin to steal the bicycle to which it is attached. It is able to continuously sense the environment to distinguish between specific events, for instance a passing tram / car and a serious theft.Siegel created a working model of an alarm that would sound when it sense
21、d movement, but wasnt initially sure how it would be best attached to a bicycle. “I decided to mount it to the rails of the seat because it allows for comfortable interaction and the position is less obvious as it looks like a small repair kit,” he says.Siegel chose to use RFID technology rather tha
22、n Bluetooth to keep the costs down. Siegel explains that the most difficult aspect of creating the alarm was to get the electronic circuit down to a small enough size.The device runs off a kind of battery that can be charged by USB within 2 hours and lasts for a few days with normal use. As the Bike
23、alarm is only at development stage, Siegel hasnt signed any agreements to put it on the market.28. When it senses movement, the RFID Bikealarm will _.A. make a warning soundB. fasten the bicycle tightlyC. shake the bicycle quicklyD. call the police automatically29.

25、raphs that _. A. the electronic circuit is a little larger B. its very easy to make a Bikealarm C. it costs too much at present D. not many Bikealarms are produced DProfessional footballers have worryingly poor teeth that could be affecting their performance on the football ground, say dentists. The
26、ir study on players at eight clubs in England and Wales, in the British Journal o f Sports Medicine, showed nearly 4 out of 10 had cavities （蛀牙) and that athletes often had worse teeth than the general population. Regularly taking sugary foods is one possible explanation. The dentists, from the Inte
27、rnational Centre for Evidence-Based Oral Health at University College London, examined 187 players sets of teeth. They found 53% had dental erosion (腐蚀), 45% were bothered by the state of their teeth and 7% said it affected their ability to train or play. Around 40% had cavities, compared with 30% o
28、f people of a similar age in the general population. Prof Ian Needleman, one of the researchers, said: These are individuals who otherwise invest so much in themselves so its a surprising finding. There are two main groups - some have a catastrophic effect, they have very serious disease that stops
29、them in their tracks and they cannot play or train. There Il be others experiencing pain affecting sleep or sensitivity every time they take a drink. At this level of athlete, even small differences can be quite telling. Nutrition is one of the primary suspects with having too many sugary or acidic
30、foods during training potentially accounting for cavities and erosion. A lot of air in the mouth during exercise can also dry it out so there is less protection. While these findings are worrying, clubs are attaching greater importance to dental health and educating their players. According to Stiji
31、n Vandenbroucke, head of medicine and sports science at West Ham United, oral health is an area where many athletes have greater problems than the general population and there are clear benefits of oral disease prevention for athletes and clubs.32. What does the passage tell us about professional fo

They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all cars will be deserted and made useless. 36 They hold that the car will remain a leading means of city t
36、ravel in the foreseeable future. The car will undoubtedly change greatly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more practical, and should not be powered by the gas engine. 37 Unless changes take place in the power system, the car in the future will still be the main problem in
37、 city traffic jams. 38 When the car enters the highway system, a small arm will drop from the car and connect with a rail, which is similar to hose(软管) powering subway trains electrically. Once joined to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system and control of the car will p
38、ass to a central computer. 39 The driver will use the telephone to dial instructions about his position and the place he heads for into the system. The computer will find the best way and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. _40 It is believed that an automated
39、 highway will be able to deal with 10,000 cars per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 cars that can be carried by a present-day highway.A. The driver will be free to relax and wait for the call that will warm him of his coming exit.B. Other experts however think the car is here to stay.C. The ca
40、r of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.D. There will be plenty of policemen on the highway to control the traffic.E. One suggested solution to this essential problem is the automated (自动的) system which seems to hold water.F. The computer will then monitor all the cars m
