Japan is a nation that appreciates the virtues of silence and good manners. Yet, when it comes to eating noodles,
Japanese people can be the loudest in the world.
According to lifestyle website Grapee.jp, slurping（发出啧啧声）when eating noodles is encouraged in
Japanese culture. It’s believed that taking air into your mouth can enhance（提高） the flavor of the noodles and
help cool down the food. It’s also considered to be a way to show appreciation for the dish. Sometimes, just making
the noise alone seems to make the noodles more enjoyable.
It was not until a new expression—— “noodle harassment” came out on social media that Japanese people
started to realize the problem. They found that the slurping noise was making some foreign visitors uncomfortable.
As a response, Japanese instant noodle maker Nissin introduced a so-called noise-canceling（降噪的） fork last
month. The fork looks like an electric toothbrush. It is connected wirelessly to a smartphone. When the person using
the fork starts to slurp, the fork will send a signal to the person’s phone. Then the phone will play a sound to mask the
slurping noise.
But is it really necessary? Dining traditions and table manners do vary. In India, people eat with their hands.
They think they build a connection with the food in this way. However, people who are used to eating with forks
might find it unacceptable to get their hands covered in oil or sauce. But this eating method is part of India’s culture,
just like Japan’s slurping is part of its own.
“So, if you are eating noodles, please slurp as you like,” wrote a Japanese food blogger. “If anyone gets annoyed
while you are doing that, ignore them., They’re missing the point entirely.”
24．Which of the following is NOT the reason for slurping when eating noodles, according to the text?
A．Cooling the noodles down. B．Making the noodles more tasty.
C．Showing great respect for the noodles. D．Adding to the pleasure of eating noodles.
25．What does the underlined word “harassment” mean in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Anxiety. B．Annoyance. C．Politeness. D．Appreciation
26．How does the noise-canceling fork work?
A．The fork removes the slurping noise.
B．The fork can be used as an electric toothbrush.
C．A smartphone reminds the user to stop slurping if a signal is sent to it.
D．A smartphone plays a sound to hide the noise when it receives a signal.
27．Why does the author mention people in India in this passage?
A．To show that forks are unnecessary in Indian culture.
B．To give an example to show cultural difference are normal.
C．To show India has special dinning tradition and table manners.
D．To tell us the differences in eating habits between India and Japan.

Blind people have long desired for brightness, but scientists don’t have the technology. To bring that one step
closer to reality, Zhiyong Fan, a materials scientist of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology,
developed a new artificial eye recently. The device, which is about as sensitive to light and has sharper vision and a
faster reaction time than a real eyeball, may outperform human eyes.
The human eye owes its wide field of view and clear eyesight to the retina（视网膜） — an area at the back of
the eyeball covered in light-detecting cells. The design for a new artificial eye is based on the structure of the human
eye and uses a friendly light-sensitive material. At the back of the eyeball, an artificial retina is lined with nanoscale
light sensors（纳米级光感器）. Those sensors measure light that passes through the lens（晶状体） at the front of
the eye. Wires attached to the back of the retina send signals from those sensors to the processor, similar to the way
nerve networks connect the eyeball to the brain.
“In the future, we can use this to replace damaged human eyes,” says the lead designer. In theory, this artificial
eye could see more clearly than the human eye, because the artificial retina contains about 460 million light sensors
per square centimeter while a real retina has about 10 million light-detecting cells per square centimeter. Besides, the
artificial eyeball records changes in lighting faster than human eyes can — within about 30 to 40 milliseconds, rather
than 40 to 150 milliseconds. Although its 100-degree field of view isn’t as broad as the 150 degrees a human eye can
take in, the device can see as well as the human eye in poor light.
Hongrui Jiang, an electrical engineer at the University of Wisconsin, though, thinks engineers need a much more
practical and efficient way to produce vast series of tiny wires on the back of the artificial eyeball to give it
superhuman sight, which is super hard to achieve.
28．Why does Zhiyong Fan develop the artificial eye?
A．To replace people’ s real eyeballs. B．To gain a sharper vision.
C．To help the blind regain their eyesight. D．To help normal eyes perform better.
29．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．The design of the artificial eye. B．The structure of the human eye.
C．The advantages of the artificial eye. D．The material used for the artificial eye.
30．What can we learn about the artificial eye and the human eye?
A．They have the same structure. B．The artificial eye may see more clearly.
C．The human eye sees better in weak light. D．The artificial eye takes in a broader view.
31．Which word best describes Hongrui Jiang’s attitude to the artificial eye?
A．Doubtful. B．Favorable. C．Tolerant. D．Ambiguous.

China’ s young people have created yet anotherword to reflect their growing disappointment with the stressful work
culture. The new lifestyle hot word, tang ping, is an action rather than a feeling —deciding to just go by, using a
minimum effort at an unsatisfactory job.
Wendy said that her lying-down philosophy could be summed up as “Putting the peacefulness of the body and
soul first.” “According to the mainstream standard, a good lifestyle must include working hard, trying to get good
results on work evaluations, struggling to buy a house and a car, and having babies, ” she said, “However, I am
looking forward to ‘lying down entirely’—quitting my job and living off my savings.”
Tang ping has come under fire from Chinese state media. “No matter what, young people must have confidence
in the future,” read a newspaper. “China is the world’s most populous country, with rich labor resources and a huge
market advantage. The only happy life is a hard-working life. “The lying-down community obviously isn’t good for
the country’s economic and social development,” said Guangming Daily. However, the newspaper added that tang
ping shouldn’t be ignored without reflection: if China wants to encouragehard work in the young generation, it should
first try to improve their quality of life.
