If you don’t think technology can improve your trip better, meet Judy. When she recently checked into the Biu Hotel in Zurich, a clerk asked her to pay hundreds of dollars higher than the online offer. It was not a cheap stay, but it became more of one after she fired up the Booking. Com app she’d used to purchase her room on her smartphone. “As soon as I showed him the rate, he honored it,” Judy says.
Technology may create challenges for travelers-indeed, it may have led to Judy’s rate confusion in the first place-but it can also solve them. The solutions go beyond making sure of a hotel rate. The latest version of Booking.com is among the most feature-rich booking programs. Users can select hotels by location, make a secure booking and view the confirmed rate.
Another pain point for travelers is traffic that eats away precious vacation time. There’s a new app for that, called Commute. As the name implies, it’s aimed at users who have to make the same trip every day. Just input basic information about your destination and expected leaving time, and the app will start sending you traffic data 15 minutes before you leave.
Another source of travel-related conflict and confusion is money. That’s particularly true when you’re dealing with a foreign currency. The latest version of Travel Money Tracker helps travelers prevent currency mix-ups. It instantly converts(兑换) a country’s native currency to yours, so you know exactly how much that Espresso(浓咖啡) in Milan costs in dollars. One extra feature is the ability to set up an alert that tells you when you’re overspending, which can sometimes be a problem when you’re on vacation. The only catch, of course, is that you have to remember to record all your purchases.
【小题1】What does the example of Judy want to show?
A.The rate of Biu Hotel was higher than that of others
B.Technology can make our trips better
C.The clerk was very friendly and patient
D.The smart phones have many functions
【小题2】What is the main function of Travel Money Tracker?
A.It tells people how much Espresso costs
B.It warns when people are overspending
C.It records all people’s purchases
D.It changes the native currency to yours
【小题3】What’s the purpose of the passage?
A.To encourage people to travel
B.To help people with technology problems
C.To introduce some new apps
D.To provide people with traveling information

   Government intelligence agencies have a plan to build computers that store information inside DNA and other organic molecules(分子).

Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity(IARPA)announced plans to develop tabletop-sized machines that can store and retrieve(取回)data from large batches of polymers — a term that refers to a wide variety of long,string-like molecules. Polymers can store data in individual atoms or groups of atoms.

The project is an attempt to solve a basic problem of the modern era:the vast and growing costs of data storage. Datacenters around the world sucked up 416. 2 terawatt hours of electricity in 2016. That's about 3 percent of the global supply,and it accounts for 2 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.

A 2016 paper found that DNA,in particular,could store computer information more densely,require less energy,and survive higher and lower temperatures than conventional hard drives. The authors of that paper reported on the successes of prototype(雏形)DNA computers that used the genetic molecules for both long-term storage and random access memory(RAM).

But no one has yet figured out how to handle DNA data storage on large scales.

IARPA officials said the new effort, called Molecular Information Storage, will be broken up into three periods:a two-year program to figure out how to store data in DNA or other molecules at high speed,a two-year program to figure out how to retrieve that data at high speed, and a two-year effort to develop an operating system that can run on that DNA.

Many of the technologies IARPA wants to develop are untested at these scales, so it's unclear how far away that proposed tabletop device really is.

【小题1】What would be the best title for the text?
A.Store Data on DNA Computers
B.Develop Computers of Future
C.Polymers Used to Store Data
D.Information Stored in DNA
【小题2】Which of the following best explains“sucked up”underlined in Paragraph 3?
A.Consumed.B.Stored.
C.Delivered.D.Produced.
【小题3】What can Molecular Information Storage do compared to traditional hard drives?
A.Produce and save less energy.
B.Store more information faster.
C.Be better for the environment.
D.Control temperatures more easily.
【小题4】Where can you find the course of the test about Molecular Information Storage?
A.In Paragraph 3.B.In Paragraph 4.
C.In Paragraph6.D.In Paragraph 7.

   Perhaps you have heard a lot about the Internet, but what is it, do you know? The Internet is a network. It uses the telephone to join millions of computers together around the world.

Maybe that doesn’t sound very interesting. But when you’re connected (连接) to the Internet, there are a lot of things you can do. You can send e-mails to your friends, and they can get them in a few seconds. You can communicate with your friends through social software such as QQ, WeChat, and Facebook. You can also do with all kinds of information on the World Wide Web (WWW) .

There are many different types of computers now. They all can be linked to the Internet. Most of them are small machines sitting on people’s desks at home, but there are still many others in schools, offices or large companies. These computers are owned by people or companies, but no one really owns the Internet itself.

There are lots of places for you to surf the Internet. For example, your school may have the Internet. You can explore the Internet to search for useful information or knowledge in your classroom. However, in order to prevent yourself from playing with computer games, you should use it in limited time. Libraries often have computers joined to the Internet. You are welcome to use it at any time.

Thanks to the Internet, the world is becoming smaller and smaller. It is possible for you to work at home with a computer in front, receiving and sending the information you need. You can buy or sell whatever you want through the Internet. But do you know 98% of the information on the Internet is in English? So what will English be like tomorrow?

【小题1】What is the passage mainly about?
A.The Internet.B.Information.
C.Computers.D.English.
【小题2】According to the passage, you can do all the following things through the Internet except for_______.
A.sending and receiving e-mailsB.chatting with your friends
C.buying and producing thingsD.dealing with information
【小题3】Who is the owner of the Internet?
A.The headmaster.B.The government officer.
C.The user.D.No one.
【小题4】What does the writer try to tell us in the last two sentences of the last paragraph?
A.The Internet is more and more popular.
B.English is important in using the Internet.
C.The information on the Internet is all in English.
D.Every computer must be joined to the Internet in English.
