2.What do you think of a"talking kitchen"?A French Digital Kitchen has been developed at Newcastle University in the UK.It teaches students how to cook French food and speak French at the same time.For the first time,students can learn the language by the following cooking steps.
All grammar and                    have been carefully chosen to make sure the users can understand French well.After learning for some time,the users can test themselves by doing a short test on the computer.
The kitchen project was started by Professor Paul Seed House.He became interested in the idea after he visited another kind of talking kitchen.He said,"The purpose of the French Digital Kitchen is to make learning a language more interesting and more educational."
How does the kitchen work?There is a computer in the kitchen.With this computer,the users can first choose a French recipe (食譜) that they want to follow.Using information in the computer,the kitchen starts to guide the users how to make a French dish.If you follow the instructions on the computer,it moves on to the next.If you go wrong,the program goes back and repeats the recipe or information.At any time,the users can ask the kitchen to repeat the recipe or any information.
The new kitchen can be used in schools,universities and even people's homes.The researchers can also be developing the European Digital Kitchen,for the next three years.

13.Angry(憤怒)is a kind of feeling.Many things can make you angry.When your teacher gives you too much homework,when your team loses important game,when a friend borrows your favorite thing and then breaks it,you may get angry.
  Usually,your body will tell you when you are angry.For example,you breathe faster,your face turns red,and you may want to break something or hit someone,but sometimes you hide your anger.For example,you may hide it in your heart.The problem is that if you do this,you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt.

17.China is the world's largest emitter(發(fā)射體) of carbon pollution.But Beijing has worked to improve environmental management and reduce pollution in recent years.
China has made a plan to be a"green development"model over the next five years,increasing the share of non-fossil fuels(非礦物燃料).The plan is to use wind,solar,biomass,water and geothermal energy.Beijing also says it will find cleaner ways of burning fossil fuels like coal.
China is already the global leader in clean energy investment.According to a new government report,the share of non-fossil fuels has reached 11.2percent in 2015.That's an increase of 1.4percent from 2014.China has the biggest solar photovoltaic cell capacity and the largest wind power market.The number of water power stations in China is about a quarter of the world's.The rapid development of clean energy has helped China's carbon emissions per unit GDP reduce.
"From 2005to 2014,China's energy use per unit GDP went down 29.9percent,and carbon dioxide emissions(二氧化碳排放) per unit of GDP went down 33.8percent.At that time,the numbers of developed countries only went down about 15percent,and the world average level did not change much.So it should be said that China has achieved a lot in cutting carbon pollution,especially in cutting the pollution per unit of GDP,"He Jiankun,deputy director of National Experts Committee on Climate Change,said.

9.Frederic Mishkin,who's been a professor at Columbia Business School for almost 30years,is good at solving problems and expressing ideas.Whether he's standing in front of a lecture hall or engaged in a casual conversation,his hands are always waving and pointing.When he was in graduate school,one of his professors was so annoyed by this constant gesturing that he made the young economist sit on his hands whenever he visited the professor's office.
It turns out,however,that Mishkin's professor had it exactly wrong.Gesture doesn't prevent but promotes clear thought and speech.Research demonstrates that the movements we make with our hands when we talk form a kind of second language,adding information that's absent from our words.It's learning's secret code:Gesture reveals what we know.It reveals what we don't know.What's more,the agreement (or lack of agreement) between what our voices say and how our hands move offers a clue to our readiness to learn.
Manyof the studies establishing the importance of gesture to learning have been conducted by Susan Goldin-Meadow,a professor of psychology at the University of Chicago."We change our minds by moving our hands,"writes Goldin-Meadow in a review of this work.Particularly significant are what she calls"mismatches"between oral expression and physical gestures.A student might say that a heavier ball falls faster than a light one,for example,but make a gesture indicating that they fall at the same rate,which is correct.Such differences indicate that we're moving from one level of understanding to another.The thoughts expressed by hand motions are often our newest and most advanced ideas about the problem we're working on; we can't yet absorb these concepts into language,but we can capture them in movement.
Goldin-Meadow's more recent work strews not only that gesture shows our readiness to
learn,but that it actually helps to bring learning about.It does so in two ways.First,it elicits (引出) helpful behavior from others around us.Goldin-Meadow has found that adults respond to children's speech-gesture mismatches by adjusting their way of instruction.Parents and teachers apparently receive the signal that children are ready to learn,and they act on it by offering a greater variety of problem-solving techniques.The act of gesturing itself also seems to quicken learning,bringing new knowledge into consciousness and aiding the understanding of new concepts.A 2007study by Susan Wagner Cook,an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Iowa,reported that third-graders who were asked to gesture while learning algebra (代數(shù)) were nearly three times more likely to remember what they'd learned than classmates who did not gesture.

72.According to Paragraph 1,F(xiàn)rederic Mishkin was asked to sit on his hands becauseC
A.he could litter express his ideas that way
B.he always pointed his finger at his professor
C.his professor did not like his gesturing
D.his gestures prevented his professor from thinking
73.How is gesturing important in acquiring knowledge?A
A.It draws tasteful responses from others and increases learning speed.
B.It promotes second language learning and quickens thinking.
C.It provides significant clues for solving academic problems.
D.It reduces students'reliance on teachers'instruction.
74.What can be inferred from the passage about gesture-speech mismatches?B
A.They can stimulate our creativity.
B.Instructors should make full use of them.
C.Teachers can hardly explain new concepts without them.
D.They serve as a stepping stone to solving real life problems.
75.What could be the best title of the passage?D
A.Hand Motions,a Second Language     
B.Gesturing:Signal of Understanding
C.New Uses of Gesturing                
D.The Secret Code of Learning.
