26、 One of the biggest enemies of smartphone batteries is the phones ’ screens. The screens keep getting bigger, and they need to keep bright for outdoor use. 【1】 But, a new OLED technology can increase brightness and energy efficiency ( 效率). The technology is being developed by a team at the Imperial College London. They’re using a special development process to produce OLEDs that give off polarized light (偏振光).
So, what's that all meaning? Screens often include filters (滤光器) to help reduce unpleasant bright light from outside. 【2】 However, they also can prevent lots of the light from the screen itself. Any light that doesn’t make it to your eyes is basically wasted energy. By creating OLEDs that send out polarized light, the team can get the light from the OLEDs to pass through a polarized filter while light from outside will still get filtered by it.
For now, the technology doesn’t mean much for phones we have in our hands. Since it's still being researched, it's not likely to find its way for upcoming phones very soon. 【3】
When it does, it would result in brighter screens and improved energy efficiency. Screens would not use the same amount of energy to produce bright light because none of it would be filtered out. 【4】
And, that would mean much longer-lasting batteries for smartphones.
【5】 For example, smartwatches don't pack large batteries, so any efficiency improvement would have a strong benefit.
A.That means they will use more energy.
B.Plenty of phones already get a full day of life.
C.This technology can be used in other areas as well.
D.But it would finally be applied to consumers’ phones.
E.It can give OLED screens a huge step forward in competition.
F.The new technology can almost double the efficiency of screens.
G.These make it easier to see the light coming from your phone's screen.
27、An artificial intelligence that navigates(导航) its environment much like mammals could help solve a mystery about our own internal GPS.
Equipped with virtual versions of specialized brain nerve cells called grid cells, the AI could easily solve and plan new routes through virtual mazes. That performance, described online May 9 in Nature, suggests the grid cells in animal brains play a critical role in path planning.
“This is a big step forward in understanding our own navigational neural circuitry(电路),” says Ingmar Kanitscheider, a computational neuroscientist at. The University of Texas at Austin not involved in the work. The discovery that rats track their location with the help of grid cells earned a Norwegian research team the 2014 Nobel Prize in physiology to medicine. Neuroscientists suspected these cells, which have also been found in humans, might help not only give mammals an internal. coordinate(协同) system, but also plan direct paths between points.
To test that idea, neuroscientist Caswell Barry at University College London, along with colleagues at Google DeepMind, created an AI that contained virtual nerve cells, or neurons, whose activity resembled that of real grid cells. The researchers trained this AI to navigate virtual mazes by giving the system reward signals when it reached its destination.
The AI bested a human expert player at solving the virtual mazes, and proved savvier than other artificial neural networks in planning ways through mazes larger than those traversed during its training. When a door opened to provide a shortcut through the maze, the new AI took the more direct route. By contrast, AI systems without artificial grid cells ignored the open door and took long the way around.
These findings support the idea that grid cells do more than help mammals orient themselves in time and space; they also help animals plan the most straightforward direction to destinations. AI also appears to be “a very powerful tool" for testing other neuroscience theories, Barry says. He and his colleagues suggest that virtual experiments on artificial neural networks that imitate different regions of the brain may eventually replace some animal testing.
But there are limitations to using AI to study the brain. Because the system is meant to learn on its own, researchers can't tell why the system made a specific decision, says neuroscientist Francesco Savelli at Johns Hopkings University, whose commentary also appears online May 9 in Nature.
【1】What's the function of the virtual grid cells?
A．Helping animals adapt to the environment.
B．Controlling the growth of nerve cells.
C．Assisting the AI in finding a way-out.
D．Promoting the cooperation between AI robots.

B．Animal testing on the brain will be reduced in future

A．How the AI system works.

28、 You’ve probably heard about sports coaches, fitness coaches, vocal music teachers, career counselors, psychiatrists (精神病医师) and other specialists who teach skills and help us cope with daily life.
But there’s a rapidly growing kind of professional who does a little bit of everything. She or he is called a “life coach”. People who are at crossroads in their lives and corporations that want to give certain employees a career boost are turning to them for help.
The idea that one person’s success story can change other people’s lives for the better goes back at least to the 1930s. Dale Carnegie’s famous self-improvement program “How to Win Friends and Influence People” came along soon thereafter.
But this new style of life coaches includes more than enthusiastic speakers or writers. They use their own experiences in business, sports, military service, or psychotherapy (心理疗法) to help others make critical life decisions.
They often give their approach a slogan, such as “energy coaching” or “fearless living” or “working yourself happy”.
Dave Lakhani in Boise, Idaho, for instance, works with salespeople to develop what he calls a “road map”. He says an ongoing relationship with a coach is like having a personal fitness trainer for one’s career and life outside work.
Lakhani’s Bold Approach coaching firm also donates some of its time to help people who are anything but successful — including battered women and struggling single mothers.
But others in the so-called “helping professions” are not thrilled about the life-coaching movement. They say that anyone, trained or untrained, can call himself or herself a life coach, and that slick (华而不实的) promoters who mess with people’s lives can do more harm than good.
【1】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Working Yourself Happy
B.Life Coaches Help with Tough Decisions
C.How to Cope with Daily Life with Life Coaches
D.The Life-Coaching Movement
【2】The underlined phrase “life coach” in Paragraph 2 means “ ”.
A.the career counselor who teaches skills
B.the psychiatrist who helps us cope with daily life
C.the fitness coach who teaches us lessons
D.the specialist who helps us make important life decisions
【3】The last paragraph is mainly about .
A.the introductions of life coach
B.the disagreements of life coach
C.the effects of life coach
D.the experiences of life coach
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards life coaches?
A.Cautious. B.Approving.
C.Casual. D.Disapproving.
29、 Have a test to take tomorrow and you're nervous? Afraid that your classmate is going to come after you? Your brother is sick and you're wondering whether it'll be okay? 【1】, but in some ways it's good, leading you to conquer fears and anger. Follow these tips and you might put your worries to the side, and know everything will be okay.
Breathe deeply. Take a deep breath, and exhale (呼气) it very slowly for as long as you can. When you can't hold on any longer, breathe in deeply and slowly. Repeat. 【2】. Do this exercise a couple of times and your heartbeat should slow down!
Drink something hot. Taking in something hot can make your blood pressure decrease and help you to calm down. Coffee, hot chocolate or tea works for this. 【3】.
Recognize your worries. Obviously, some kind of worries is good for us. It adds safety and happiness to your life. When the level of worry causes you to put up with (忍受) things that are harming you frequently, you will become too worried. Then you need to face your worries. 【4】 . You may find that your worries are mostly False Evidence Appearing Real.
【5】. Even if you are talking to your pet, say every detail, and fifty percent of the time you'll realize you have nothing to worry about because you can solve it. You might look back and have no idea what you were worrying about, If the other efforts didn't work, talking it out is sure to calm you a bit more.
A.Talk it out
B.Don't be afraid
C.Slowly drink it and focus on the taste
D.It helps to stop hard and short breathing
E.Candies and cakes are good choices, too
F.Ask yourself what is truly causing your worries
