C【解析】【分析】這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了印尼大學(xué)的一個(gè)學(xué)生團(tuán)隊(duì)發(fā)明的可以對(duì)抗手機(jī)上癮的設(shè)備?！?4題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“Indonesian university student Tyas Sisianindita spends about eight hours a day on her phone.(印尼大學(xué)生Tyas Sisianinita每天花大約8小時(shí)在手機(jī)上)”及“she checks her phone countless times from morning until night. She even checks it while in class.(她從早到晚看手機(jī)無數(shù)次。她甚至在上課的時(shí)候查看)”可知，Tyas對(duì)手機(jī)上癮。故選C項(xiàng)?！?5題詳解】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第二段中“Tyas goes to the University of Indonesia, where a team of students recently developed a device meant to fight phone addiction.(Tyas就讀于印度尼西亞大學(xué)，那里的一個(gè)學(xué)生團(tuán)隊(duì)最近開發(fā)了一種旨在對(duì)抗手機(jī)成癮的設(shè)備)”可知，這種設(shè)備是對(duì)抗手機(jī)上癮的情況，所以劃線詞所在句“which can help internet users like Tyas diminish time they spend looking at their phones”意為“它可以幫助像Tyas這樣的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)用戶減少看手機(jī)的時(shí)間”，“diminish”意為“減少”。故選D項(xiàng)。【26題詳解】段落大意題。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容“The device has a sensor that measures hemoglobin (紅蛋白) oxygen levels and changes to the heart rate called HRV. Studies have found that using a mobile phone for long hours can lower HRV levels. The Nettox device makes a sound when HRV and blood oxygen levels fall, which reminds wearers to stop using their phones.(設(shè)備有一個(gè)傳感器測(cè)量紅蛋白氧含量和被稱為HRV的心率變化。研究發(fā)現(xiàn)長(zhǎng)時(shí)間使用手機(jī)可以降低HRV水平。當(dāng)HRV和血氧水平下降時(shí)，Nettox設(shè)備會(huì)發(fā)出聲音，提醒佩戴者停止使用手機(jī))”可知，本段主要講述這種設(shè)備的工作原理。故選A項(xiàng)?！?7題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中“Irfan Budi Satria39。s team is working to improve Nettox39。s accuracy.(Irfan Budi Satria的團(tuán)隊(duì)正在努力提高Nettox的準(zhǔn)確性。)”可知，團(tuán)隊(duì)目前專注于提高設(shè)備的準(zhǔn)確性。故選C項(xiàng)。CWhen the island of Singapore became an independent country in 1965, it had few friends and even fewer natural resources. How did it bee one of the world39。s great trading and financial centers? The strategy, explained Lee Kuan Yew, its first prime minister, was to develop Singapore39。s only available natural resource: its people.Today Singapore39。s education system is considered the best in the world. The graduates of its best schools can be found scattered around the world39。s finest universities.The islandstate has much to teach the world. But other countries are reluctant (不情愿的) pupils. One reason is that Singapore favors traditional method, with teachers leading the class. That seems not useful for children to learn for themselves.Yet Singapore shows that academic brilliance need not e at the expense of personal skills. In 2015 Singaporean students also came first in a new PISA ranking designed to look at cooperative problemsolving, scoring even better than they did in reading and science. They are also reported to be happy. Not content with its achievements, Singapore is now introducing reforms to improve creativity and reduce stress. This is a gradual education reform the first of three lessons that Singapore offers the rest of the world.The second lesson is to accept Singapore39。s distinctive approach to teaching maths. It emphasizes a narrower but deeper curriculum, and seeks to ensure that a whole class progresses through the syllabus (教學(xué)大綱). Struggling students get pulsory extra lessons to help them keep up.The third and most important lesson is to focus on developing excellent teachers. In Singapore, they get 100 hours of training a year to keep up to date with the latest techniques. The government pays them well, too.The system is hardly faultless. Other countries might wish to avoid Singapore39。s dividing of high — and lowachievers into separate schools from the age of 12, which contributes to stress about exams. That is a pity. Education would be much better if more countries copied Singapore39。s homework.28. What did Lee Kuan Yew think contributed to Singapore39。s great development?A. Trading with other countries. B. Making full use of its people.C. Exploiting its natural resources. D. Introducing all kinds of talents.29. Why are other countries unwilling to learn from Singaporean?A. Its system is too advanced. B. Its method, seems not to be up to date.C. Their students are too independent. D. They are lack of challenging teachers.30.
