In the future those who are taking care of old people may get help from the house itself.

Over the last few years, new technology, such as the Internet, Wi-Fi and flat TV screens, has
changed our homes and the way that we live. Now, another technology revolution is happening.
A new project at the University of Hertfordshire wants to create a home that monitors people
living in it who are elderly.


The
researchers
have
developed
a
wristband
device
（装置）
which
helps
us
to
watch
the
elderly person who is wearing it. The device collects information to see if the person has fallen or
has wandered away from where he or she should be.


The
assisted- living
project
is
part
of
the
university's
wider
Interhome
project,
which
is
the
development of a smart house. The house remembers the habits of the person who lives there
and it uses very low amounts of energy. The Interhome team hope that offering this service will
help take care of the elderly. They say,
help and support and not replace any of the existing services.


The
Interhome
is
not
just
a
research
method.
It's
also
a
way
for
students
from
different
scientific backgrounds to learn and develop technology. The university uses the latest technology
to help students get experience by developing new hardware and software themselves. The team
includes design, engineering and computer science students working together.

Money is the root of all evil (
邪恶
) and new study claims there may be some truth behind the
saying. Scientists at the University of California Berkeley, US, announced on February 27 that rich
people
are
more
likely
to
do
immoral
things,
such
as
lie
or
cheat,
than
poorer
people.
The
scientists
did
a
series
of
eight
experiments.
They
published
their
findings
online
in
the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNA
《美国国家科学院院刊》
).

They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that
drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians
at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive ears ignored a pedestrian compared
with only 30 percent of people driving mow modest cars.

In another experiment, a group of college students was asked if they would do immoral things
in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a
salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher
—
class families were
more likely to act dishonestly.

According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This
makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people's feelings.

Finally, it just makes
them greedier. “Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more,
and
that
increased
want
leads
you
to
bend
the
rules
or
break
the
rules
to
serve
your
self-
interest,” said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study.

Piff pointed out that the findings don't mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor
people
honest.
He
said
the
experiments
were
to
show
how
people
living
in
different
social
situations express their instincts
（本能）
and values in different ways.

（
1
）
By saying “money is the root of

all evil”, the author wants to
.

A. link wealth with bad behavior
B. draw readers' attention to the research

C. show how the saying proves the findings
D. defend rich people who do immoral things

（
2
）
According to the scientists, which is NOT the factor that makes rich people immoral?

A. They welcome risks.
B. They have more desires.

C. They believe money talks.
D. They become more selfish.

（
3
）
Why did the scientists do the experiments?

A. To
show
how
social
status
affects
people's
morality.
B. To
show
people's
instincts
and
values in different ways.

C.
To test whether the saying “money is the root of all evil” is true.

D. To show the difference
between higher - class people and lower - class people.

（
4
）
What does the passage really want to show us?

A. The poor are respectable. B. Money is the root of all evil.

C. All rich people are untrustworthy.
D. The rich are more likely to act badly.

【答案】
（

B

（

A

（

）
D

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论 文，作者主要通过展示几个实验的结果，旨在证明

金钱
是一切罪恶的根源
这一说法可能是有一定道理的。

(1)
考查推理判断。根据第一段中的
“new
study
claims
there
may
be
some
truth
behi
nd
the
saying…that rich people are more likely to do immoral things, such as lie or cheat, than poorer
people.”
可知，用这个俗语
“
金钱是万恶之源
”
来引出本文的话题
——
富人们是否比穷人们更
加有可能做不道德的事情，通过一些实验来证实，让读者们看到这一研究，目的 是吸引读
者对这个研究的注意，故选
B
。

(2)
考查推理判断。根据倒数第三段中的
“According
to
the
scientists,
rich
people
often
think
money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they
care less about other people's feelings.”
按照科学家的研究，富人们通常认为钱可以解决 一切
麻烦，所以他们更不害怕冒险，也意味着他们更少在乎其他人的感受，可知，他们喜欢冒
险 并不是让他们不道德的因素，而且从常识来说，并不是所有喜欢冒险的人就是富人，而
且喜欢冒险也不代 表不道德，故选
A
。

(3)
考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的
“He said the experiments were to show how people living
in different social situations express their instincts(
本能
) and values in different ways .”
可知，实
验的目的是展示生活在不同的社会状况下的人们如何以不同的方式来表达他们的本 能和价
值观。故选
A
。

(4)
考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的
“Pif
f pointed out that the findings don't mean that all rich
people are untrustworthy or all poor people ho nest.”
可知，并不是所有的富人都是不值得信任
的，也并不是所有的穷人都是诚实的，故
A
，
C
都错误；
B
项
“
金钱是万恶之源< br>”
这只是一个
引子，并不是文章要告诉我们的；根据文章第一段科学家发表的声明可知， 富人们更加有
可能不道德，也就是行为上更糟糕，恶劣。故选
D
。

American college students are becoming more adventuresome as they study abroad, showing
less
interests
in
English-speaking
destinations
such
as
Great
Britain
and
Australia
and
more
in
such countries as China, India, Argentina and Brazil.

Britain remained the most popular study destination in 2005, according to annual figures from
the Institute of International Education, followed by Italy, Spain and France. But the number of
American
students
studying
in
Britain
and
Australia
descended
a
little,
even
as
the
number
of
American
students
abroad
rose
by
8%.
The
growth
came
in
non-English
speaking
European
countries and in Asia. China is now the eighth most popular destination for American students,
attracting nearly 6,400 in 2005, up 35% from the number of the year before. Argentina and India
saw increases of more than 50%.


Allan
Goodman,
president
of
the
Institute
of
International
Education,
said
that
a
range
of
factors
contributed
to
the
trend,
from
growing
awareness
of
globalization
after
the
terrorist
attacks on September 11, 2001, to programs such as former President Bush's National Security
Language Initiative, which trains soldiers, intelligence officers and diplomats in foreign languages.
“What Americans are doing is waking up and discovering there's a world out there,” he said.

Other figures showed the flow of students in the opposite direction, from foreign countries into
American
universities.
The
institute
found
that
international
enrollment
(
入学
)
in
American
higher
education
remained
steady
at
about
565,000.
The
figures
are
of
keen
interest
to
universities,
which
depend
on
foreign
students
for
teaching
and
research
help,
and
to
policy-
makers,
who
consider
it
important,
as
future
foreign
leaders
may
be
familiar
with
the
United
States. The year of 2005 saw big increases in students from South Korea, Mexico and Taiwan of
China.
India
sends
the
most
students
and
China
is
No.2.
Other
countries
that
show
large
percentage increases in the number of students sent to the US include Nepal and Vietnam, while
Japan, Turkey
and
Malaysia
saw
declines.
About 58%
of
international
students
in
the
US
come
from Asia.

（
1

C. They
are
afraid
that
terrorist
attacks
will
happen
again.
D. They
prefer
to
explore
a
different world from their own.

（

Where were most foreign students in America from in 2005?

A. China. B. India. C. Argentina. D. Britain.

（

6,400
American
students

2005.
B. Chinese
students
to
America will overpass Indians in the future.

C. International

“But
the
number
of
American
students
studying
in
Britain and Australia descended a little, even as the number of American students abroad rose by
8%.”
这句话的后半句的意思是
“

years,
developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality.
Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon.

The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype (
原型
) of its flying bicycle.
Grant Stapleton, marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics, says the Hoverbike is able to get
in and out of small spaces very quickly.
can be folded and packed,

Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern. He says the designers solved the
safety issue by using overlapping rotors to power the vehicle.

The company is testing a full-size prototype of the Hoverbike, which will most likely be used
first by the police and emergency rescue teams.


In
New
Zealand,
Martin Aircraft
Company
is
also
testing
a
full-size
prototype
of
its
personal
flying device, called the Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to 1, 000meters high and
reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.

Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said the Jetpack
from the start
into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car.

The Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker
says it also has a parachute that would be used, if there should be an emergency.
