The other day my cable company called to offer me two tickets to special preview of the latest Sherlock Holmes movie. I wasn’t 16 myself. But I know my two boys would be. And the price was right. That evening we were a bit 17 for time so instead of having dinner at home we has close-to-indigestible fast food near the movie theatre. Bang…There went the price of eight movie tickets. Another movie ticket went into popcorn.
Then I met up with a friend and we sat around 18 for a while and another movie ticket for a cappuccino. After that, we figured we might as well 19 until the movie ended to pick up the boys.

三、阅读（共两节，满分45分）
第一节：阅读理解。（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）
( A )
Japanese fisherman Hiroshi Hirasaka has an unusual hobby. He likes to catch and eat unusual and strange-looking creatures. The keen hunter has even listed his fishes in a book. Therefore, you can only imagine his joy when he got yet another scary looking specimen off the coast of Japan's Hokkaido Island, on August 30th,2015.
Though the alien-looking fish whose huge mouth covers almost half its body appears to be something out of a science-fiction movie, it is just a specimen of the wolffish that live on the floors of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The only difference? Hirasaka's 2-meter long catch is almost twice the size of usual members of the deep sea fish that measure about 1.2 meters in length.
The fish’s large size has led some to guess that it may be a mutant(d变种) caused by the meltdown of Japan's Fukushima Nuclear Plant in 2011. Caused by an 8.9degree earthquake, it was one of the world's biggest nuclear disasters that sent out large amounts of radiation into the ocean. Since then, fish in the area have been found to have as much as 2,500 times the legal, safe radiation limit.
However, Timothy Mousseau one of the world’s leading researchers on the effects of radiation on wildlife strongly disagrees. He says it is “extremely unlikely” that the fish's size has any connection with the ocean pollution around Japan.
The effects of mutation usually reduce growth rates and makes things smaller. In sea animals that is detrimental because it decreases their ability to catch food, which in turn lowers their life.
The expert does, however, admit that there are a very small number of mutations could result in the extra-large size. The only way to tell for sure whether this latest headline-making wolffish is just an unusual species of nature or a mutant, if extra-large specimens are found.
As for what Hirasaka thinks about the argument his giant catch has created? He doesn’t care. He is just excited at the opportunity to be able to add “this cool guy” to the long list of unusual creatures he has caught and tasted. ( ) 26. What does Hirasaka like to do?
A. He likes to look for aliens at sea. B. He likes to fish far deep into the sea.
C. He likes to taste the strange-looking fish. D. He likes to perform in a science fiction movie. ( ) 27. What does the wolffish Hirasaka caught differ from others? A. its length B. its tail C. its eyes D. its mouth ( ) 28. What does paragraph 3 suggest?
A. The nuclear radiation can lead to serious earthquake. B. The nuclear radiation can result in large quantity of fish. C. The nuclear radiation can limit the growth of sea creatures. D. The nuclear radiation can cause a species to change their genes. ( ) 29. What’s meaning of the underlined word “detrimental”? A. Possible B. Necessary C. Important D. Harmful ( ) 30. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Fish is seriously affected by a nuclear accident. B. A Japanese fisherman catches a monster wolffish. C. A fisherman has a special hobby in Japan. D. Some Japanese men like to catch big fish.

( C )
American Sign Language (ASL), has been one of the primary means of communication for the deaf in the United States and many parts of Canada since the 1800s.
But popular as it is, there are millions of people with normal hearing that do not understand the language. And while most deaf Americans learn to speak with the help of speech therapy, many find it easier to communicate through sign language. Now a team of researchers at the Texas A&M University has created wearable technology that will make it easy for ASL and non-ASL users to converse.
The smart device uses two separate sensors to translate complex ASL gestures into simple English. The first keeps track of the significant movements----the user’s hand and arm as he/she tries to communicate. The second sensor helps distinguish the smaller movements that follow, the larger ones. It can recognize movements based on muscle activity. The two sensors working together help provide a correct understanding of the gesture. For example, when an ASL user is
gesturing the words “please” or “sorry”, the first sensor will pick up the hand drawing circles to the chest, while the second will ascertain if the fist is open (“please”) or closed (“sorry”).
Jafari says there is still some work to be done before the technology can be used in the real world.
For one, it currently recognizes just 40 primary ESL signs, which means that it has thousands more to learn. Also, the only translates one word at a time making ordinary conversations painfully slow.
Not all communication takes place around a laptop. They hope to remove the need for one by combining a computer into the wearable. The computer will then send the translation to a smart device, allowing two people “speaking” different languages to have a consistent conversation.
Additionally, each device has to be custom programmed, which means that the individual has to “train” the wearable by repeating every ASL sign a few times. This is a slow process and can only get worse as the
translator’s vocabulary expands. Jafari hopes to reduce the learning time or reduce this requirement altogether in the product’s next release.
( ) 36.What problem will the team from Texas try to solve?
A. To make deaf Americans learn to speak. B. To make ASL and non-ASL users chat easily.
C. To provide deaf people with speech treatment. D. To make people with normal hearing learn ASL quicker. ( ) 37.How does the second sensor recognize hand and finger movements?
A. By receiving the order from human brains. B. By gathering information on body language. C. By following the movements of muscles. D. By keeping track of the activity of arms. ( ) 38. What is the matter with the smart device now?
A. It is too heavy to carry everywhere. B. It can’t translate a lot of words meantime.
C. It can’t recognize more than 1,000 ASL signs. D. It can’t be made to meet the individual’s need. ( ) 39.What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. ASL helps a better communication. B. The wearable technology is popular.
C. Sign languages can be written down. D. A smart device translates ASL into English. ( ) 40.When can you probably read this article?
A. A fictional book B. An entertainment newspaper C. A science magazine D. A military report

MONDAYS
Calling all fledgling birders! Ever wondered why some animals have soft skin while others have a hard outer skeleton? Or how can some animals live underwater but others cannot? Naturalists will use live animals, skulls, skins and other notable animal parts to help you determine who the mystery animals are.
Salt Marsh Ecology TUESDAYS
The salt marsh behind the island is packed with wildlife rarely seen and waiting to be discovered. We will meet at Mingo Point Outpost where we will head to our dock and get some hands-on experience with fascinating, strange animals that inhabit the salt marsh. Next we will board our motorboat and head out for some on-the-water exploration. And no trip to the marsh is complete without checking our very own crab pots.
Pond Discoveries WEDNESDAYS
Alligators aren't the only thing living in our ponds. Sometimes the coolest stuff is what cannot be seen at first glance. There is a whole new world in our ponds that rarely gets seen, and this is your chance to get a close-up view.
Going Native THURSDAYS
Step back in time and experience life on Kiawah Island as the Native Americans once did. In this class, you will discover the local environment using techniques of the Native Americans while learning their traditions and cultures.
