Andrid phnes will be used t sense earthquakes arund the wrld and may ne day be able t prvide glbal warnings, with the first mass alert system cming int use n August 11 in Califrnia, Ggle annunced.
Ggle, which helped develp Andrid, wrked with Califrnia and the US Gelgical Survey t build the quake alerts int all phnes that run the cmmn mbile perating system. Andrid users wh have enabled lcatin services and are near a quake f magnitude 4.5 r greater will receive a full-screen earthquake warning telling them t drp t the flr and seek cver. The screen als will prvide estimates f the quake’s magnitude and distance frm the user. Depending n their distance frm a quake, peple culd get several secnds r perhaps a minute f warning.
Users wn’t need t a dwnlad Califrnia’s MyShake app in rder t receive the alerts. That applicatin, develped by the University f Califrnia, Berkeley and launched last year, has been dwnladed by nly abut I millin f Califrnia’s 40 millin residents. By cntrast, many millins f peple wn Andrid phnes.
“This annuncement means that Califrnia’s wrld-class earthquake early warning system will be a standard functin n every Andrid phne-giving millins precius secnds t drp, cver and hld n when the big ne hits.” Gv. Gavin Newsm said in a statement. IPhne users wn’t receive the alerts thrugh Apple’s perating system, but they can dwnlad the MyShake app.
Als, Ggle annunced that Andrid phnes wuld begin detecting earthquakes frm arund the wrld thrugh their mtin-sensing accelermeters. “Yur Andrid phne can be a mini-seismmeter (地震仪), jining millins f ther Andrid phnes ut there t frm the wrld’s largest earthquake detectin netwrk,” accrding t a Ggle blg pst. Mre than 2 billin devices run the Andrid perating system.
Hundreds f millins f peple live in earthquake-prne areas. But many cuntries lack the resurces t build detectin and alert systems, Ggle said. The infrmatin will be used at first t prvide fast and accurate infrmatin n Ggle Search. But Ggle said it culd begin sending ut earthquake alerts next year.
38. If an earthquake hits the US, wh wn’t receive the earthquake warning?
A. IPhne users wh have dwnladed the MyShake app.
B. Andrid users wh have dwnladed the MyShake app.
C. IPhne users wh haven’t dwnladed the MyShake app.
D. Andrid users wh haven’t dwnladed the MyShake app.
39. What des the underlined wrd “estimates” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Predictins.B. Descriptins.C. Destinatins.D. Explanatins.
40. What will glbalize Ggle’s earthquake detectin netwrk?
A. The newly develped MyShake app.
B. Useful mtin-sensing accelermeters.
C. New technlgy develped by Ggle.
D. The large number f Andrid phne users.
41. What is the authr’s purpse in writing the text?
A. T share a newly-develped MyShake app.

A few years ag, Charles Barkley gt int a lt f truble fr making the cmment that sprts figures didn’t need t be rle mdels. Thusands f fans and prfessinal jurnalists were crss at this attack n the basic principle that the persn wh jumps highest must aim highest and the persn wh handles the running back must als be able t deal with life’s prblems with grace as well.
The prblem is nt that we lk t these peple fr perfectin when they take ff their unifrms. It’s that we expect anyne t be ur representatives fr perfectin. That’s stupid and it makes the rest f us dwn here lazy.
I get the imprtance f having heres, the peple wh inspire us t cultivate the best ptential within us and nurture ur better angels. I persnally have many heres, frm my mther, Lucy, t my favrite law prfessr, Hward. But these are persnal cntacts, peple wh have actually tuched my hand and my heart, and wh ccupy a pedestal (基座) built f my wn experiences and strng desires. T lk at an athlete r an actress with high salary and demand that he r she match ur dreams is nt nly a waste f time, but it’s dangerus. The danger cmes in hw this type f her wrship dehumanizes bth the bject f affectin and the persn wh blindly adres. That was Barkley’s pint, nt that we shuld give public figures a pass fr being faulty but that we shuldn’t abandn ur wn mral cmpasses and lk t them fr true nrth.
Recently n a televisin prgram I participated in, the discussin turned t Kathleen Kane. Smene suggested that the fact that the first female attrney general (首席检察官) in Pennsylvania was really messing things up culd have unfrtunate cnsequences fr wmen seeking elected ffice. I ffered the pinin that Kane was unquestinably criticized and that it was nt dislike twards wman but lack f ability at the rt f the attacks. After the shw aired, I had peple emailing t tell me that I was either a traitr (叛徒) fr publicly attacking a fellw female when we need t stand tgether behind this “rle mdel”, r a fl fr nt ging a step further t say that this incmpetent lawyer had made it harder fr all wmen t mve t the next level.
Hw depressing! Why shuld the inferir perfrmance f ne wman lead t such diverse but passinate views in peple? The answer is bvius: Kane has stpped being an attrney general but has instead becme The First Female Attrney General. She can’t just make a mistake and pay the nrmal cnsequences.
If we stpped trying t live ur lives thrugh the accmplishments f public figures, many f whm lk and sund like us, we’d learn hw t recgnize the heric character f thse we might actually knw, and the heric ptential within urselves. Or, perhaps, the hnesty t accept ur rdinary humanity.
42. Many peple were angry with Charles Barkley mainly because ________.
A. he brke the fundamental principle in life
B. he was nt gd enugh t be a rle mdel
C. he dubted the perfectin f sme sprts figures
D. he thught sprts figures culd have weaknesses
43. Accrding t Barkley, why is it dangerus t take public figures as heres?
A. Because we may let g f ur wn mral standards.
B. Because an athlete r actress cannt match ur dreams.
C. Because we blindly admire public figures fr their faults.
D. Because we shuldn’t waste time imitating public figures.
44. Frm the passage we can infer that Kathleen Kane was ________.
A. the first female attrney general in the US
B. unfairly criticized because f being female
C. less qualified than the public had expected
D. a rle mdel fr wmen seeking elected ffice
45. Which f the fllwing might be the best title f the passage?
A. Be Our Representatives fr Perfectin
B. Explratin f Our Own Heric Ptential
C Our Cnventinal Views f Female Plitician
D. Our Unrealistic Expectatin f Public Figures

Have yu ever had a staring cntest? It can be difficult t keep yur eyes pen fr lng perids f time because f the instinctive (本能的) tendency t blink. But why d we need t blink?
There are tw main reasns fr it. First, blinking clears away dust frm the eyes. 46 I might be under the eyelid r smething that blew in. Secnd, blinking lubricates (润滑) the eye-balls. The eyes need a smth surface fr light t prperly fcus n, s visin becmes clear. Blinking releases a tear film, which mstly cnsists f water, il and mucus, t keep the surface f the eyeball smth. 47 The tear film als prvides xygen fr the eye. The film als helps prevent the eye frm becming infected.
Blinking happens instinctively. It takes the average persn 400 millisecnds t blink. Mst peple blink smewhere between 10 and 20 times per minute, usually arund 15 r 16 times. 48
Fr example, yu may blink mre frequently if there’s smething in yur eye. Certain cnditins can make it feel like there’s smething in yur eye, which makes yu blink mre. Sme peple have habitual invluntary mvements that lead them t blink frequently. 49 If yu have uncrrected visin prblems, yu may blink mre ften because yur eyes are instinctively trying t crrect the unclear visin.
If there is damage t the facial nerve, which is respnsible fr clsing the eyelid, a persn may blink mre slwly r less ften. Tiredness and sme medicatins can cause a similar effect. 50 Fr example, when reading, peple tend t blink at the end f a sentence rather than in the middle.
A. It prevents the eye frm drying ut.
B. If there’s a freign bdy, it helps get rid f it.
C. And stress and anxiety can make yu blink mre, t.
D. Blinking mre ften than needed can give brain extra stress.
E. Pink eye and ther types f infectin can als cause damage n eyes.
F. Hwever, there are sme circumstances that make peple blink mre r less ften
G. Fcusing n smething like watching a mvie, yu may blink less t strengthen yur fcus.
