AThe Ig Nobel Prizes praise research that makes you laugh and then think.The winners are allowed to make a one-minute speech with time kept by an eight-year-old! Every year，in Harvard's Sanders Theatre，people watch the winners step forward to accept their prizes.These are physically handed out by real Nobel laureates (获得者)．Let's have a look at some of them.The Empty Bladder (膀胱) ExperimentFour researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology found that animals above 3 kg empty their bladders in about 21 seconds.What is the purpose of this study? The researchers hope this will help solve urinary (泌尿的) problems in animals.The Science of EggsA team of Australian scientists managed to get hard-boiled egg whites to become raw again.While it sounds silly，this research could have a serious influence on cancer (癌症) research. The Fascination with AnimalsCharles Foster and Thomas Thwaites from the UK shared the 2016 Ig Nobel Prize in Biology.Thomas chose to live like a goat and wrote about his experience in “GoatMan：How I Took a Holiday from Being Human”．Charles，on the other hand，spent some time in the wild，trying out the lives of many animals.He felt it gave him a chance to explore the world around us with more of our senses.Colors & HorsefliesA team from Hungary，Spain，Sweden and Switzerland won the 2016 Ig Nobel Prize in Physics.They studied why horseflies have less interest in white-haired horses.The team used handmade horses covered in glue.They found that dark colors attracted more flies because of how sunlight reflected (反射) off them.To the food searchers，it was a sign of food.This finding could explain the white coats of zebras too.21.Who give the Ig Nobel winners their prizes?A．Eight-year-olds. B．Harvard professors.C．Nobel Prize winners. D．Nobel Prize organizers.22.What did Charles Foster and Thomas Thwaites have in common?A．They shared the Ig Nobel Prize in Physics.B．Both their experiments centered on animals.C．They did their research in the same place.D．Both their experiments explored human senses.23.What does the underlined part “food searchers”refer to?A．Zebras. B．Horseflies.C．Handmade horses. D．White-haired horses.BMy beautiful new watch had run eighteen months without losing or gaining (走得快).But at last, one night, I forgot to wind it up (上发条）and it stopped running. The next day I stepped into the jeweler’s to set it by the exact time, and the head of the shop started to set it for me. Then he said, “She is four minutes slow — regulator (调节器）wants pushing up.” I tried to stop him —tried to make him understand that the watch kept perfect time. But no; he calmly and cruelly did the shameful deed.My watch began to gain. It gained faster and faster day by day. Finally I took it to the watchmaker to be regulated. He forced the watch open, and then said it wanted cleaning and oiling, besides regulating. After this, my watch slowed down to an unbearable degree. I began to miss trains and my dinner.At last, I took this instrument to another watchmaker. He said the kingbolt was broken. To tell the truth, I had no idea what the kingbolt was. He repaired it, but what the watch gained in one way it lost in another. It would run awhile and then stop awhile, and so on.So I went with a heavy heart to one more watchmaker. While I waited and looked on I presently recognized in this watchmaker an old acquaintance (熟人)—a steamboat engineer of older days, and not a good engineer, either.“She makes too much steam and...” he said.I gave him a heavy blow on the head and ran away.My uncle William used to say that a good watch was a good watch until the repairers got a chance to look at it. And he used to wonder what became of all the unsuccessful repairmen, and shoemakers, and engineers, and blacksmiths; but nobody could ever tell him.24.What did the author say about the jeweler?A. He made a mistake.B. He had a quick mind.C. He had a hearing problem.D. He was a quiet repairman.25. After being cleaned, oiled and regulated, the author’s watch.A. kept perfect timeB. gained faster and fasterC. was unbelievably slowD. ran awhile and stopped awhile26. Why did the author hit the watchmaker on the head?A. He was a liar.B. He was talking nonsense.C. He treated the watch cruelly.D. He was an old enemy of the author.27. What did the author learn from his experience?A. Never get a watch repaired.B. He should listen to his uncle.C. Repair work was not an easy job.D. Unsuccessful people exist in all walks of life.CIt's early morning，and Katie Smith hears a rooster crowing (报晓)．It's time to get up and start working.She and her husband，Chris Cashen，start the day early.They own and run the Farm at Miller's Crossing，in Hudson，New York.With the help of 10 workers and，sometimes，the Cashen kids—Lael，12，Connelly，10，AnneMae，8，and Christopher John，6 —Smith and Cashen harvest crops during much of the year.They grow vegetables and other plants.They also raise and care for some animals.Because the Farm at Miller's Crossing grows different kinds of crops，Cashen says the biggest challenge (挑战) is timing.Several times a year，workers prepare the soil and plant crops.At other times，they transfer (转移) plants from the greenhouse into the fields.The farmers store the fall vegetables in coolers and sell them throughout the winter.Cashen and Smith grow their crops without the use of chemicals.When crops are ready to be harvested，workers pick them daily，wash them，and put them in boxes.In June，they work up to 70 hours a week.As fall nears，workers try to finish the daily harvesting while there is still daylight.The crops are sold through programs that provide buyers with fresh produce weekly.Living on a farm has its perks．The Cashen kids swim in a river from which the crops get their water.They ride their bikes in wide-open spaces.When harvesting tomatoes，they sometimes have exciting tomato fights.They have a big family with which to share their adventures.Everyone takes part in the business.The kids feed the horses.The boys care for the el says she likes transferring plants and selling produce.“It's fun and really busy，” says Lael，“but it's just a part of life.”28.What can we learn about the Cashen family?A.They look needy.B.They lead a busy life.C.They live on selling animals.D.They do all the work on their own.29.What's the most difficult thing on the Farm?A.Storing the fall vegetables.B．Growing crops as fast as possible.C．Moving plants out of the greenhouse.D．Planning when to plant and harvest.30.

B．She is proud of it.C．She is uninterested in it. D．She feels unsatisfied with it.DCarmakers now allow drivers to make phone calls, use email, and text, etc. Cars used to have a few buttons（按钮）. Some cars now have as many as 50 buttons.“It’s adding complex（复杂的）information at drivers’ fingertips without often considering whether it’s a good idea to put it at their fingertips,’’ University of Utah professor David Strayer said. That complexity increases the time drivers spend trying to use the systems, The car industry says that mobile phones are not allowed while driving and navigation devices （导航设备）were not made to be used while driving. But the systems “are developed to be used in the driving environment and require drivers’ attention that is comparable to turning on the radio, which has always been considered acceptable behavior while driving,” said Wade Newton, a spokesman for the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers.But Jake Nelson, AAA’s director for traffic safety research, said drivers testing all 30 of the 2017 model year cars took their eyes off the road and hands off the wheel while using the systems. The test drivers touch screens and other technologies to make calls, send texts, turn on the radio, or program navigation all while driving.Researchers said 23 of the 30 cars were considered “very high” or “high” in terms of the attention they required from drivers. It takes drivers about 40 seconds to program navigation systems. Research made before has shown that drivers who took their eyes from the road for just two seconds double their risk of a crash.In 2012, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration made voluntary safety guidelines to carmakers. The guidelines suggest that automakers lock out the ability to program navigation systems while a car is moving. However, the ability to program navigation while driving was allowed in 12 cars in the study. The guidelines also suggest carmakers prevent drivers from texting while driving, but three-quarters of the cars tested allow drivers to text while te car is moving.32.What was David Strayer’s attitude toward the systems?A. He was interested in them.B. He was hopeful of them.C. He was uncertain about them.D. He was dissatisfied with them.33.What did Wade Newton say about the systems?A. They were good choices for drivers.B. They couldn’t be used while driving,C. They were unacceptable to the public.D. They were mainly used for navigation.34.Which of the following might Jake Nelson agree with about the systems?A. They were risky but worthwhile.B. They were quick and easy to use.C. They saved drivers a lot of money.D. They increased the risk of accidents.35.What can be inferred about voluntary safety guidelines?A. They are quite welcome.B. They are not properly made.C. They are not strictly followed.D. They are very helpful to drivers.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
