Cutlery（餐具）including chopsticks，knives，forks and spoons which delivers an electric shock to change the taste of food could help cut down salt in fast food.Scientists have developed a pair of chopsticks,which can make food taste saltier,sour or bitter without the need for extra seasoning（调味）.They are also working on a spoon and fork that could make food taste spicier or sweeter.This "digital seasoning"technology could help food manufacturers and restaurants to reduce the amount of salt they put into food without relinquishing taste.

They work by delivering pulses of electricity to the tip of the tongue to stimulate the taste buds（味蕾）.Dr Nimesha Ranasinghe，an assistant professor who led the work on the electric cutlery,said,"This technology is aimed at creating a virtual taste sensation.”

Some Chinese takeaway food and ready meals were recently found to contain up to 11 times more salt than a bag of crisps-more than half of an adult's daily allowance. Salt is known to be linked to serious health problems like heart disease and stroke.

But using a pair of electric chopsticks could help cut salt levels without influencing the taste, said Dr Ranasinghe.The technology,which Dr Ranasinghe initially developed while at the University of Singapore，works by installing two electrodes（电极）into each chopstick or the end of a spoon.These electrodes send a weak current through the tip of the tongue when they touch it to stimulate the taste buds.

By controlling the frequency and strength of the electric current,the researchers can stimulate either sourness,saltiness or bitterness.They say up to 80% of people experience changes in saltiness and sourness with the devices and 70% can sense changes in bitterness.

Dr Ranasinghe said he was also working on ways of imitating sweetness and spiciness by rapidly heating and cooling the tongue.It could lead to a spoon that allows desserts to taste sweet while having lower sugar levels or a fork that can give a curry extra heat without the need for extra chilies（辣椒）.Dr Ranasinghe said：“We have some early findings of imitating sweetness，a mint-cool sensation and hot or spicy sensations.”

28.What seasoning cutlery has been developed?

A.Chopsticks.

B.Knives.

C.Forks.

D.Spoons.

29.How does the seasoning cutlery work?

A.It cuts down salt in food.

B.It adds extra seasoning in food.

C.It delivers an electric shock to the tongue.

D.It weakens our taste sensation in our mind.

30.What does the underlined word "relinquishing" in Paragraph 1 mean?

A.Removing.

C.Acquiring.

B.Attracting.

D.Compromising.

31.What does the text mainly want to tell us?

A.Give yourself an electric shock to make takeaways healthy.

B.Try to eat at home instead of having take-out food to stay healthy.

C.Make your food taste saltier by using a pair of electric chopsticks.

D.Reduce the amount of salt in your food to avoid health problems.

Last year Congress issued a moral call to action when it ordered the National Institutes of Health to reevaluate its ethical oversight（伦理上的疏忽）of government-funded primate（灵长类） research.Although the scientific community widely sees nonhuman primates as essential for advances in biomedicine (they have caused major gains in the fights against AIDS and neurological diseases such as Parkinson's,for example),researchers agree more can be done to treat the animals more humanely and conduct research less wastefully. To that end,the NIH gathered famous scientists last September to discuss the future of primate-based research-and they agreed that data sharing is the way forward.

Researchers could reduce experiments on nonhuman primates by studying data that have already been collected to answer new questions,says David O'Connor, a pathologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.O'Connor is walking the walk:his laboratory studies the Zika virus in primates,and he immediately posts all the results online.The goal is to figure out ways to fight Zika as quickly as possible without placing an undue（过分的）burden on research primates. The Seattle-based Allen Institute for Brain Science,which uses rhesus macaques,small South Asian monkeys,to study the molecular basis of brain development,also makes all results public.

O'Connor says this practice should be more widespread so that "researchers who are using this scarce but vital resource can learn as much as possible from as few animals as necessary.”Still,he is skeptical that data sharing will catch on because it would require a change in "normative behavior"-science's strong culture of secrecy, in which data are kept under wraps until they are published in a peer-reviewed joumal.One step toward full transparency（透明度）is to follow the lead of human clinical trials,says Christine Grady,a bioethicist at the NIH.U.S.law requires most clinical trials to register online and make their results public,even if a study fails or is inconclusive.This ensures that other researchers can learn from a trial regardless of its results-a move that could also safeguard primates against being used for the same thing twice. Nancy Haigwood,director of the Oregon National Primate Research Center,also says data sharing is "the way of the future."Her center hosts 4,800 primates to study a variety of human diseases. She currently contributes results from her center to O'Connor's website. "I don't see a drawback,”she says."We have to share data more quickly.”

32.What does Congress think of the primate research?

A.It has done a great deal of good to advances in biomedicine.

B.It is a huge waste of money to conduct research on primates.

C.Primate-based research must be stopped for moral reasons.

D.Proper attention should be given to treating primates humanely.

33.The underlined phrase "walking the walk"in Paragraph 2 shows that O'Connor     

A.is the leader in fighting Zika virus in primates

B.is walking away from his own responsibility

C.is carrying out what he has said he should do

D.is taking a tough road when posting his data

34.According to O'Connor,what might prevent scientists from sharing their data?

A.The deep-rooted culture that data should be kept secret until published.

B.The fact that scientists are reluctant to change their way of research.

C.The requirement that most clinical trials should be registered online.

D.The fear that they will be laughed at if a study fails or is inconclusive.

35.What could be the best title for the passage?

A.The Merciless Practice of Primate Research

B.To Treat Primates More Humanely:Transparency

C.To Abandon Experiments on Primates:Final Goal

D.The Burden of Research on Nonhuman Primates

The word "diary" comes from the Latin word"diarium",which means "daily allowance". 36 And it is used for business notes, planning activities,keeping track of scheduled appointments,or documenting what has already happened.Some doctors suggest that writing in a diary is a good form of self-study.

In America,from the 1940s through the 1980s,a diary was thought of mostly as a way to privately express one's deepest thoughts while keeping notations about the day.37 Many times,movies would show a teenage girl beginning to write in her diary while she said aloud, "Dear diary...".

38 A diary kept by a young German Jewish girl by the name of Anne Frank provides us with invaluable lessons about history,for she documented her experiences while she hid from the Nazis during their occupation of the Netherlands in World War II.Her diary became one of the world's most widely read books and is the basis for many films.

Samuel Pepys,who lived during the 17th century,is the earliest diary keeper that is famous today.His diary is also an important documentation of history, for it gives personal insight into London's Great Plague and the Great Fire.His diary is being published on the Internet,and it's interesting to note that there has been a new entry every day since January of 2003.It will continue over the course of several years to come.39

Today's electronic version of the diary,the web log or "blog"has once again stretched the diary to be much more than a personal account of the day's events.There are blogs to document recipes,traveling,movies,independent news,product announcements,photos,and anything else that needs to be recorded over time.Search engines like Technorati.com have been created to keep track of the more than 112 million blogs that are currently public.40

A.It refers to a book for writings by date.

B.In its newest form,the diary has become more popular thanever.

C.Reading his diary is fascinating, and it makes his life all the more real to us.

D.People love to write diaries,so whenever they are free,they will write a few lines.

E.Some private reflections may have historical significance long after the author's death.

F.Nowadays,the blog has taken the place of the diary and becomes more and more popular.

G.In those times, and even continuing on today, writing in a diary was like writing to a special friend.

The car has no 45.Instead,its windshield doubles up as the doors enabling both the driver and passenger to 46 from the front without any danger of scraping the sidewalk or the one parked in close nearness.

On the first day of fourth grade,my teacher,Mrs.Brown,told my class a story about her husband Rob,who is a brain cancer survivor.She became emotional as she talked about their journey through his treatment and recovery.After what Mrs.Brown experienced with Rob's illness,she decided to devote part of her life to helping people in similar situations. She told us about a local organization she was a part of called Be Head Strong,which works to support and comfort families with a member suffering from brain cancer.

Mrs.Brown never showed any sadness about the disease.She instead spoke only with words of determination to find a cure.Through her positive spirit she showed us how strong hope could be.

My parents taught me from a very young age that making wise choices with my money is important.I would always set aside most of my $2.50-a-week allowance.By the end of the school year,I had saved over one hundred dollars,$131.30 to be exact.One day I was wondering what to do with it.I thought about the stories Mrs.Brown told us.I decided that was where I wanted my money to go.

As the last day of school approached,I told my parentsabout my gift for Mrs.Brown.My mom helped me wrap the heart-shaped box full of dollars and coins.After all the other kids had left on the last day of school, I handed Mrs.Brown the present.As she opened it,I told her that I wanted the money to go to Be Head Strong to help people like Rob.She broke into tears and hugged me tightly.At last,she invited me to Be Head Strong's annual fundraiser and auction.

Para l:

The night's theme was hope and giving and many stories were shared.                               

Para 2:

At the end of the night's auction, people were asked to donate what they could.
