　　Internet use appears to cause a drop in psychological health, according to a research at Carnegie Mellon University.

　　Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more bad feelings and loneliness than those who were online less frequently, the two-year study showed. Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.

　　The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in psychological health, researchers hypothesized(推测). Faceless, bodiless “virtual”(虚拟的)communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.

　　“But it’s important to remember this is not about the technology, it’s about how it is used, ”says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the study’s sponsors(发起人). “It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology. ”

　　63. What’s the finding of the research undertaken at Carnegie Mellon University?

　　A. People spend more time on the Internet now.

　　B. People spend less time with their families and friends now.

　　C. The Net proves socially healthier than television.

　　D. Internet use may cause a drop in psychological health.

　　64. What had the researchers expected before the research?

　　A. The Net may account for the drop in psychological health.

　　B. Internet use may improve social health.

　　C. Internet use has nothing to do with social health.

　　D. Spending much time on the Internet makes people feel bad and lonely.

　　65. What does Christine Riley suggest?

　　A. It’s necessary to take social factors into account in designing applications and services for technology.

　　B. It’s important to tell the users how to design and apply the technology.

　　C. Compared with social factors, the technology itself has more influence on the Internet users.

　　D. No social factors should be considered in applications and services for technology.

　　66. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?

　　A. How to Use the Internet

　　B. Disadvantages of the Internet

　　C. Social Factors and the Internet

　　D. Internet Use May Cause Bad Feelings

　　D

　　(原创)It is one of the most irritating(恼人的)words in the English language and it seems there is no escaping it. The word ‘huh’ is in worldwide use, a study found.

　　Researchers discovered that languages spoken in countries from Ghana and Laos to Iceland and Italy all include ‘huh’, or something that sounds very like it.

　　They said that while the project may sound frivolous(无聊的), the word is an ‘indispensable’ part of speech.

　　Without it and similar words, it would be impossible to show that we haven’t heard or understood what had been said and this would lead to constant misunderstandings.

　　But while other words used in the same context, such as ‘sorry’ or ‘what’, vary widely across languages, ‘huh’ remains unchanged.

　　The Dutch researchers recorded around 20 informal conversations in each of ten languages from around the world.

　　These included Siwu, which is spoken in Ghana, Cha’ palaa from Ecuador, and Murriny Patha—an Australian Aboriginal language, as well as Italian, Spanish, Dutch and Mandarin.

　　The tapes were analysed for words that sounded like ‘huh? ’and were used to request that whatever had just been said was repeated.

　　All contained a version(版本)of ‘huh’. The word was also found in another 21 languages from around the globe that were studied in less detail.

　　While there were subtle differences in each country, all had a near-identical sound.

　　This is surprising because normally unrelated languages will use very different words to describe the same thing. For instance, the Japanese for ‘dog’ is ‘inu’, while the French is ‘chien’.

　　It is thought that languages around the world have developed their own version of ‘huh’ because the sound is quick and simple to form, as well as being easily understood.

　　67. What’s the best title of the passage?

　　A. The word ‘huh’

　　B. Languages around the world

　　C. The changing language

　　D. Differences in culture

　　68. Which of the following is TRUE?

　　A. ‘Huh’ varies widely across languages.

　　B. Languages spoken in many countries include ‘huh’.

　　C. ‘Huh’ is used in the context of thanking.

　　D. The Dutch researchers recorded around 20 formal conversations.

　　69. What does the underlined word “indispensable” in Para. 3 mean?

　　A. impossible

　　B. independent

　　C. necessary

　　D. changeable

　　70. What can we learn from the passage?

　　A. Different versions of ‘huh’ sound completely different.

　　B. ‘Huh’ is from English.

　　C. Languages around the world have nothing in common.

　　D. Different versions of ‘huh’ have similar meaning.

　　Disability aids are vital to those who suffer problems with executing work with two hands. These are people who have been disabled due to some major sickness or other problems. In order to help them carry on their work in the normal way, disability aids are manufactured. This helps them make their life a lot easier than what it would have been without these aids. The kind of disability aids that an individual might require depends on the person only. It is the problem that a person faces that decides the aids that he/she will use for carrying out his/her respective jobs. The following is the list of a few disability aids that come of significant use.

　　The first and foremost aid is the stocking aid, aiding the individuals suffering from the problem of bending down to reach the feet and wear their own socks. These stocking aids have a gutter that is made up of plastic material. These gutters are shaped in a certain way along with the attachment of cotton tapes in it. The sock is then put over the gutter. The foot is placed inside the gutter. The cotton tapes help in pulling the sock up the leg. In this manner, the sock is worn by a person who has problems wearing it by bending one’s back and reaching the feet.

　　There are openers that help the people who have problems with their hands or wrists to open bottles of ketchup, jam and other such bottles and jars that necessitates the use of hands and fingers.

　　The third type of disability aids that come to our minds are lifts. Now what are lifts? Lifts are certain machines that help in lifting people from specific areas, such as a bathtub or a set of stairs. These lifts are of varied types and come for numerous applications. It is for the individual to decide the type that he/she requires to use.

　　For people, who have problems in balancing their upper bodies in a stable manner, there is something known as grab rails. These grab rails are installed for those who have mobility problems in their upper bodies. These rails come in varieties of shapes, sizes and angles. These grab rails are available to home users as well, in their different variations. One can purchase and fix one to their homes according to one’s specificities. These grab rails require the act of screwing and drilling in order to fix them to their appropriate place. The prices of these rails also vary according to the variation of their shapes and sizes.

　　A portable book holder is a much sought-after disability aid. It can be used by anybody for that matter, not just the disabled. These portable book holders are light-weight and can be easily moved about. These holders relieve the strains on one’s hands, necks and shoulders that might occur due to the handling of a book. The holders are provided with extended legs that help in placing the reading material at suitable distance.

　　Thus with the help of these disability aids, the old and disabled people can make their lives much more convenient and comfortable that would otherwise have been a cumbersome and complex one.

　　 Disability Aids

　　【参考范文】

　　Recently, the air quality in China has raised widespread concern. As is indicated in the picture, an old man and his grandson are taking a walk in the street with masks covering their mouths. As the haze is becoming heavier and heavier, they find it hard to see the buildings and trees around them clearly.

　　The picture conveyed here is that air pollution is quite severe in China. Many factors account for this phenomenon. In the first place, vehicles sending large quantities of poisonous gases are a major source of air pollution. Furthermore, factories that release a great deal of smoke are also responsible for the poor air quality. Besides, burning materials like coal or oil for homes and offices is another major contributor to air pollution.

　　Personally, to better the air quality, the government and the citizens should make joint efforts. Riding and walking are wise options for public travels. Meanwhile, effective laws are supposed to be made to guarantee good air quality.
