Sports shoes that find out whether their owner has enough exercise to warrant time in front of the television have been devised in the UK.
The shoes — named Square Eyes — contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitter passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the day’s efforts.
The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University to London, UK. “We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out,” she says. “And I wanted to tackle that with my design.”
Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.
Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended(推薦) daily amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV time.
Existing pedometers （計步器） normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking. But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat. “It is possible, but it would be a lot of effort,” she says. “That was one of my main design considerations.”
66．According to Swan, the purpose of her design project is to ____.
A．keep a record of the steps of the wearer
B．deal with overweight among teenagers
C．prevent children from being attracted by the TV programs.
D．prevent children from being tricked by TV programs
67．Which of the following is true of Square Eyes shoes?
A．They control a child’s evening TV viewing time.
B．They determine a child’s daily pocket money.
C．They have raised the hot issue of overweight.
D．They contain information of the receiver.
68．What is emphasized by health experts in their suggestion?
A．The exact number of steps to be taken.
B．The exact  number of hours spent on TV.
C．The proper amount of daily exercise and TV time.
D．The way of changing steps into TV watching time.
69．Compared with other similar products, the new design ____.
A．makes it difficult for lazy teenagers to cheat
B．counts the wearer’s steps through shaking
C．records the sudden movement of the wearer
D．sends teenagers’ health data to the receiver
70．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

科目：高中英語 來源：2011-2012學(xué)年河北省高三高考仿真模擬考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

As a young girl, Margaret “Mattie” Knight never played with dolls, preferring to make toys for her brothers instead. In 1849, Knight went to work in a cotton factory where she witnessed a “shuttle,” a device that carries thread back and forth across a textile loom（紡布機(jī)）, fly off the machine when the thread broke, striking and killing a young boy about her own age.

The 12-year-old Knight developed a safety mechanism that made it impossible for a shuttle to leave the loom. The design was so effective, soon virtually every new power loom carried her invention, saving countless workers from injury or death. Being so young, she didn’t bother to patent the device, so she never received payment.

Knight wouldn’t make the same mistake later in life when she invented a machine that could produce flat-bottomed paper bags. Knight had built a small wooden model in her home, but she needed a metal version to show it could hold up to the stress of mass production. So she hired Charles Annan to make the full-sized machine for her, only to have him try to claim the patent for himself. When Knight sued（起訴）, Annan’s argument was that the design had to be his, because no woman could possibly understand the complex mechanics. Knight proved him wrong when she brought back her wooden prototype and explained how every part worked. She won the case in 1871, making her the second woman to hold an American patent. Over a hundred years later, her design is still used as the basis for many modern flat-bottom bag machines.

But that wasn’t the last the world heard of Mattie Knight. During her lifetime, she made about 90 inventions and received 26 patents, becoming one of the most productive female inventors of the 19th century.

1.We can learn from Paragraph 1 that ________.

A．Knight behaved like boys

B．Knight had an unhappy childhood

C．Knight did a poor job of making toys

D．Knight liked inventing things as a child

2.What do we know about Knight’s first invention?

A．It is still used today.

B．It brought her great profit.

C．It was made when he was 20.

D．It reduced injuries at textile plants.

3.Knight sued Charles Annan because he _______.

A．stole the wooden model for the machine she invented.

B．failed to make the full-sized machine for her

C．tried to patent her invention for himself

D．kept the metal version for himself

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A．Mattie Knight’s fight for her patent

B．A great woman in the 19th century

C．“The female Edison”, Mattie Knight

D．Great inventions, great woman
