A mechanical bicycle lock, like a U-lock. should be attached to a solid and immobile object like a rack (架子) to ensure safety. Nevertheless, these racks are quite rare and popular, thus often occupied and although a bicycle lock prevents the bike from being carried away, as it fixes single parts like the frame or the wheels, other parts can be dismounted. Therefore an electronic system, consisting of several sensors, can extend the range of protection with only few components and less effort.

The ‘RFID Bikealarm’ is a motion sensitive electronic alarm system that is attached to the rails of a bike saddle (座椅). Featuring omnidirectional (全方位) movement sensing to detect tiny movements or speeding-up and a small whistle emitting >120dB alarm sound to scare off potential thieves by arousing attention.

The internal microcontroller uses a complex computer program to distinguish between a serious theft and harmless shaking movement as it senses and adapts to the environment. The usage is quite simple: identify yourself by holding the RFID tag close to the case to lock or unlock the alarm system signaled by feedback sounds. The RFID-technology is predestined for achieving this simple and secure interaction because it doesn’t require any complex system, interaction or other devices—just a small tag.

The ‘RFID Bikcalarm1’ is meant to be a useful add-on to mechanical bicycle locks as it massively extends the range of protection with few components. It is low-cost, durable and easy to use. The internal battery can be charged by USB.

24. What does the underlined word “dismounted” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?

A. fixed up

B. found out

C. taken away

D. locked up 25. What will happen when someone steals a bike with the RFID Bikealarm?

A. Noises will be made.

B. The bike will be locked.

C. The thief will be identified.

D. Messages will be sent to the owner.

26. Which of the following is a feature of the RFID Bikealarm?

A. It uses complex parts.

B. It needs a rack to prevent bike theft.

C. Its high price scares away its buyers.

D. It works together with a mechanical lock.

27. Which of the following shows the right position of the RFID Bikealarm on a bicycle?

C

Self-awareness in both animals and young children is usually tested using the ‘mirror self-recognition test’ to see if they understand that the reflection in front of them is actually their own. Only a few species have so far shown themselves capable of self-recognition – great apes, dolphins, magpies and elephants. One potential complement to the mirror test as a measure of self-understanding may be a test of ‘body-awareness’. This test looks at how individuals may recognize their bodies as obstacles to success in a problem-solving task.

To test for body-awareness in Asian elephants, Dr Josh Plotnik, a researcher at the University of Cambridge, devised a new test of self-awareness.In the test, Plotnik attached a stick to a rubber mat(垫子) using a rope; the elephants were then required to walk onto the mat, pick up the stick and pass it to an experimenter standing in front of them. The researchers wanted to know whether elephants understood the role of their bodies as potential obstacles to success in the task by observing how and when the animals removed themselves from the mat in order to exchange the stick. In one control arm of the test, the stick was unattached to the mat, meaning the elephant could pass the stick while standing on the mat.

Plotnik found that the elephants stepped off the mat to pass the stick to the experimenter significantly more often during the test than during the control arm. Elephants stepped off the mat an average of around 42 out of 48 times during the test compared to just three times on average during the control.

“The elephants understood that their bodies were getting in the way, so they stepped aside to enable themselves to complete the task,” says Dr. Plotnik.“This implies that elephants may be capable of recognising themselves as separate from objects or their environment. This means that they may have a level of self-understanding, coupled with their passing of the mirror test, which is quite rare in the animal kingdom.”

28. What did Dr Plotnik try to prove by means of the test?

A.Self-control does exist in elephants.

B.Animals are cleverer than we thought.

C.Elephants have awareness of their own body.

D.Some animals are fully aware of their environment.

29.What did the elephants focus their attention on in the test?

A.The mat

B.The stick

C.The rope

D.Their own bodies

30.Why did the elephants step off the mat in the test?

A.To see the stick clearly.

B.To avoid a possible danger.

C.To perform their task more easily.

D.To get closer to the experimenter.

31.Which of the following does Dr Plotnik probably agree with?

A.Elephants are excellent guides for humans.

B.Elephants have a high level of intelligence.

C.Animals can be trained to take on heavy tasks.

D.Animals are depending on humans for survival.

D

Most cultures use storytelling to pass down family history using the power and energy of the human voice.

Ever since our ancestors could first communicate, we have gathered to share our stories. We have passed along creation tales and tragic stories of love lost. We have repeated accounts of real heroism and simple stories of family history. When our ancestors lived closer to the land and to each other, the practice of storytelling was combined with ritual and occasion. Members of the tribe would often gather around the fire to hear their family history recited aloud by an elder or master storyteller. Listeners could track how their own lives, and the lives of their parents, interwove(交织) with the lives of the other tribe members, as everyone's ancient relatives once played out similar life dramas together.

As a custom, some cultures' storytellers repeat the same tale over and over because they believe that each time you hear it, you come to the story as a different person and view the plot and characters in a new light. Hearing the story over and over is a way to judge where you have been and where you are now on your path of personal evolution. It also helps the younger generation learn the stories so that they can pass them to forthcoming generations-

When we hear others tell stories, we can laugh at their humorous adventures, feel the thrill of exciting encounters, see parts of ourselves in them, and learn from the challenges they face. Though most of our formal traditions of storytelling are lost, it does not mean we have to be without. We can begin new practices in our own families of listening to one another, of honoring our own journey, and witnessing the journeys of those around us. By building new practices of storytelling, we give ourselves and the ones we love an opportunity to draw ever closer in our shared human experience. 32.What do we know about the earliest form of storytelling?

A.If focused on recording family history.

B.It covered many aspects of human life.

C.It was mostly about heroes in real life.

D.It was mainly to amuse the tribe members.

33.Why were some tales repeated frequently by the storytellers?

A.To entertain the younger generations.

B.To avoid forgetting the plots and characters.

C.To test whether the listeners were faithful to the tribe.

D.To make the listeners reflect on their personal growth.

34.According to the author,the practice of storytelling_____.

A.won’t last long without new forms.

B.should continue in its conventional way.

C.remains a good way to record family history.

D.helps us develop ties with our loved ones.

35.What might be the most suitable title for the text?

A.Storytelling and Public Relations.

B.Storytelling to Connect the Generations.

C.Cultures Preserved Through Storytelling.

D.Track Down Your Family History in Stories.
