共用题干第二篇Electric BackpackBackpacks are convenient. They can hold your books,your lunch,and a change of clothes,leaving your hands free to do other things.Someday,if you don't mind carrying a heavy load,your backpacks might also power your MP3 player,keep your cell phone running,and maybe even light your way home.Lawrence C.Rome and his colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole,Mass.,have invented a backpack that makes electricity from energy produced while its wearer walks.In military actions,search-and-rescue operations,and scientific field studies,people rely increasingly on cell phones,global positioning system(GPS)receivers,night-vision goggles,and other battery-powered devices to get around and do their work. The backpack's electricity-generating feature could dramatically reduce the amount of a wearer's load now devoted to spare batteries,report Rome and his colleagues in the Sept.Science.The backpack's electricity-creating powers depend on springs used to hang a cloth pack from its metal frame.The frame sits against the wearer's back,and the whole pack moves up and down as the person walks.A gear mechanism converts vertical movements of the pack to rotary motions of an electrical generator, producing up to 7.4 watts.Unexpectedly tests showed that wearers of the new backpack alter their gaits in response to the pack'soscillations,so that they carry loads more comfortably and with less effort than they do ordinary backpacks. Because of that surprising advantage,Rome plans to commercialize both electric and non-electric versions of the backpack.The backpack could be especially useful for soldiers,scientists,mountaineers,and emergency workers who typically carry heavy backpacks.For the rest of us,power-generating backpacks could make it possible to walk,play video games,watch TV,and listen to music,all at the same time.Electricity-generating packs aren't on the market yet,but if you do get one eventually,just make sure to look both ways before crossing the street!What is implied in"if you do get one eventually,just make sure to look both ways before crossing the street!"?A:You will be too excited to watch the traffic.B:Enjoying electronic devices while walking may invite traffic accidents.C:It is not possible for you to get such a backpack.D:It is wise of you to have such a backpack.
Everyone knows airline pricing is based on supply and demand. Fares are mores expensive during peak travel seasons like summer and to prime destinations like European capitals. So if a flight to Rome costs more than a flight to Milan you d think that demand for Rome must be higher or supply lowerWhat’s puzzling is that you can pay a high price to a given destination but a dramatically lower price for the exact same flight if you agree to go on to another destination.Take Alitalia to Rome for instance for travel in August A round-trip economy flight directly to Rome leaving JFK at 10:05 p.m on Alitalia 611 on August 5 costs $1,655 when booked on April 30 Compare that to $903 for a round-trip economy ticket to Milan(stopping in Rome)leaving JFK on the exact same Alitalia 611 flight at 10:05 p.m on August 5. So why is Alitalia willing to fly you to Rome for $752 less than it would otherwise plus give you an extra one-and-a-half-hour flight to Milan?Airlines have increased their profitability in recent years by segmenting the market for air travel and charging customers different prices for the same product. In this case the market is segmented based on demand for direct flights. Airlines know most people prefer the shortest route to their destination so they make customers pay up for the privilege of flying direct(They also make it a little more inconvenient if you don’t pay up for a direct flight in order to encourage you to fly direct)When process become so obviously illogical it may be time to why air tickets can’t be transferred or resold just like any other normal product If the airlines are entitled to exploit the free market shouldn’t customers be allowed to do the same thing? Why may prices for direct flights be higher according to the passage?A. Because all people prefer the shortest route to their destinationB. Because airlines take advantage of people’s preference for direct flightsC. Because connecting flights may cause inconvenienceD. Because airlines charge customers different prices for the same product
Questions 9~11 refer to the following information.The daily changes of the market can lead investors astray. The ups and downs make the tendency to look at the portfolio’s performance frequently too tempting. This means investors are likely to perceive more risk, forgetting about their long term goals.When investors log into their trading accounts they can see the potential gain or loss of all of their assets. They can also see the day change on assets which are coded gain and loss. However, it's believed that those who look less get more.For instance, if you look at FTSE index from today to tomorrow there is a roughly 50% chance that it has gone up or down. If you look at it over a year you may find that 60%-65% of the time it is going up. And if you look over a five-year period you will find that 90% of the time it goes up.What is the example trying to illustrate?A. Most investors log into their trading accounts every day.B. The potential gain and loss of assets can be predicted.C. The investors who seldom check daily changes may get more returns.D. The potential growth rate of the portfolio is likely to be fixed.

Once you finish, you look back on it and you realize that you made it not by leaping, but step by step. "Yard by yard, life is very hard. But inch by inch, life can be a cinch."__5__.__2__内应选（）A、This hurdle the easiest to get over because you are not worn out from running.B、Again, you must find it in yourself that you can do it, and you must finish the race stronger than when you had started it.C、All it takes is one step at a time, one hurdle at a time.D、That last hurdle symbolizes these situations.E、These hurdles get tougher and tougher and you may feel as though you can’t go on.F、Next is the lining up in our own individual lanes.
