But using technology, life needn39。 Clothes have been given an upgrade, too. Electronic thermal jackets, sweaters and coats heat up when you turn them on. What better way to keep warm in the dead of winter? At the touch of a button, or through an app on our phones, the clothing generates heat from elements placed inside. Many models offer three levels of heating which stay warm for over 12 hours. .leans39。 With a smart thermostat (溫度自動調(diào)節(jié)器), our homes can be warm when we need them to be. Many models feature smartphone apps that allow you to control temperature remotely, so we can warm up the house before we arrive home. According to , Tado39。t have to be so challenging any more.

The new research, published in Science Advances, adds bees to that list.（1）What have the researchers from RMIT University discovered? A.t require a massive brain, there might also be new ways for us to include interactions of both longterm rules and working memory in designs to improve rapid AI learning of new problems,” said Dyer. The findings suggest that advanced numerical cognition (認知) may be found much more widely in nature among nonhuman animals than previously suspected. RMIT39。 Researchers have found bees can do basic mathematics, in a discovery that deepens our understanding of the relationship between brain size and brain power. Recently, A study conducted by researchers from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia showed that bees could perform arithmetic operations like addition and subtraction (減法). 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，同時根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，概括歸納，從而選出正確答案。文章首句點明了文章談?wù)撝行模簽槭裁措S著我們變老，我們會覺得時間過得更快？后面文章主要解釋了原因：老年人因為大腦退化，神經(jīng)元的變化導(dǎo)致他們覺得時間過得較快。故選B。當我們變老的時候，大腦需要更多的時間來處理信息。 （3）考查推理判斷。ve got your aging brain to blame.和第二段中的Over the years, these structures bee more plex and eventually begin to degrade.可知，隨著年齡的增長，不可避免的就是大腦結(jié)構(gòu)的老化。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的 This is likely due largely to the physical changes of our nerves and neurons (神經(jīng)元).可知，老年人覺得時間過得過快的原因是神經(jīng)和神經(jīng)元的變化。The Function of the Brain【答案】 （1）A（2）B（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了為什么老年人會覺得時間過得較快，主要原因是隨著年齡的增長，大腦中神經(jīng)元的變化讓老年人的大腦需要更多的時間來處理接收到的信息，這樣就會讓他們覺得時間過得較快。Time Flies FastC.Little babies move their eyes much more often.（4）What is the best title of the text?
