Anyone who has experienced the joy of driving through a rainstorm暴风雨
with the sunroof (天窗) open understands how airflow气流
around the moving vehicles can keep him dry despite the exposure. Now a similar principle is being employed to create an umbrella that protects people from the rain using nothing more than an invisibleadj. 无形的，看不见的；无形的；不显眼的，暗藏的
air force field.
Air Umbrella, developed by a Chinese company and recently funded by Kickstarter, uses forced air rather than fabricn. 织物；布；组织；构造；建筑物
to create a protective canopyn 天蓬 苍穹
that keeps people from getting wet in the rain.
It’s a clever concept and designers have done a good job of answering several questions about the product. For instance, the sound generated by the device is minimal, especially when compared to the pitter-pattern. 雨声；类似下雨的声；劈劈啪啪声 adv. 拍挞拍挞地
of the falling rain. It can create a protective canopy wide enough for two people to fit under and it performs well even in the heavy rain. The air shield (防护) can be cut through by high winds, but given that regular umbrellas typically fold over in similar windy conditions, the air umbrella is still an upgrade.
A few concerns do remain, however. For instance,for example
the battery life电池寿命
is only about 15-30 minutes depending on the model, so you’ll still want to walk briskly adv. 迅速地；活泼地；
to your next destination when it’s raining. Also, while the air shield might keep the rain away from you, it’s likely to splashvt. 溅，泼；用...使液体飞溅n. 飞溅的水；污点；卖弄vi. 溅湿；溅开
all that blown-away water onto anyone else like a sprinkler (洒水车). So the device might draw the ire n. 忿怒 vt. 使发怒
of anyone else walking with you, or any helpless bystandersn 旁观者
.
There are currently three different types to choose from if you’re interested in investing. Air Umbrella-A is the lightest model, and is apparently designed specifically for females, according to the Chinese developers. It is about 12 inches in length and weighs a little over a pound, and it runs for 15 minutes per charge. Air Umbrella-B measures nearly 20 inches long and weighs 1.7 pounds, and lasts 30 minutes per charge. Finally, Air Umbrella-C also lasts 30 minutes, but is scalable adj 可扩展 可伸缩
between 20 and 32 inches depending on your needs.
25. Why does the author mention a special driving experience in the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic of the passage. B. To explain the need for an umbrella.
C. To share a feeling with the readers. D. To prove a theory to the readers.
26. The Air Umbrella fails to work when ______.
A. there is little rain B. there is no wind C. it rains heavily D. the wind is strong
27. How does the author present concerns about the Air Umbrella?

ed what it calls “the world’s first free standardized English test” recently. Anyone can take the test for free. The new exam is called the EFSET, which is short forbe short of 缺少 be short for 。。的缩写
Education First Standardized English Test. The company, Education First, is known by the letters EF.
It is estimated that 据估计
there are two billion English language learners worldwide. Many of them are interested in attending an American college or university. To do so, foreign students need to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language — better known as TOEFL. However, many foreigners are not wealthy enough to take the TOEFL1761元
. In addition, test-takers often have to travel overnight to reach an official testing site. The World Bank says an average Cambodian worker earns only about $1,000 per year. Approximately 大约
the cost of taking the TOEFL is 17.5 percent of the average worker’s yearly wage.
It is not just individuals who find the test pricey· adj. 高价的，过分昂贵的
. Some governments also find it prohibitive· adj. 禁止的，禁止性的；抑制的；（费用，价格等）过高的；类同禁止的

Experts believe that the EFSET meets the highest value in language testing. It uses special computer software that makes the questions easier or harder, depending on one’s performance. The EFSET measures all the English learners’ levels while the IELTS and TOEFL only measure learners’ levels from moderate (中等的) to advanced. The EFSET is unique in the sense· 就…意义而言

that it gives free online access to anyone interested in measuring their English level.
There is a 50-minute and a two-hour version 版本
of the test, which its developers are calling the EFSET Plus. Both versions test only reading and listening skills. It’s hopeful that speaking and writing skills will be tested in the future. The IELTS and the TOEFL still use humans to rate · n. 比率，率；速度；价格；等级
· vt. 认为；估价；责骂
· vi. 责骂；被评价

the speaking and writing sections. It’s a huge deal for students who are in areas where they can’t get to the TOEFL or the IELTS. However, it is too early to know whether the EFSET results are acceptable for colleges and universities in America.
29. Why do many foreign students take the TOEFL?
A. To learn English well. B. To be admitted to key universities.【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】
C. To receive further education in America. D. To find good jobs and earn much money.
30. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A. Only wealthy people can take the TOEFL.
B. The cost of taking the TOEFL is very high.
C. There are many official testing sites for the TOEFL around the world.
D. Few of the students in Cambodia can afford to take the TOEFL.
31. What can we learn about the EFSET?
A. It is similar to the TOEFL and the IELTS.
B. Everybody with different English levels can take it for free.
C. It tests the skills of reading, listening, writing and speaking.
D. American universities accept the EFSET results for admission.
