10．A dog-lover has invented a high-tech way of feeding his pet by Twitter（推特，流行社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)）．Computer expert Nat Morris，30，has designed a system to give his pet a"tweet treat"by sending him a Twitter message．
His dog Toby gets some delicious dog biscuits from a computer-controlled food machine whenever Nat sends a message to"@feedtoby"．
Nat often works away from home and isn't always able to feed Toby by hand．But his new invention  allows Nat to feed his dog from anywhere in the world．
Nat said，"Toby absolutely loves it．At first he didn't know what was going on．Now he sits underneath the machine，wagging his tail and waiting for the treats to drop．"
Nat fills the food machine with small pieces of dog biscuits，but not too many in case four-year-old Toby gets too many messages．And Nat has even equipped his house with an online camera so he can see Toby enjoying the food at his home．
But one problem is that friends and family have been so amazed with the"Tweet treat"machine that．they have starting to send tweets to Toby too．So Nat has had to restrict feeding time to make sure Toby doesn't turn into Tubby．
"People have been sending him food at all hours of the day，so I had to limit it to between 9 a．m．a(chǎn)nd 9 p．m..I'm thinking of doing an updated one which measures his weight before he is fed，just to make sure he's not putting on too much puppy fat，"explained Nat．
How Nat's Twitter Feeder Works：
When a message is sent to@feedtoby it is received by a mini-computer that is linked to the food machine．
When the mini-computer receives the message，a bell rings and Toby comes running over and sits in front of the feeding machine．Next the machine's motor pulls open a trap door which releases a serving of food．
The doggy biscuits then drops into Toby's food bowl．Finally a digital camera takes a photo of him and sends it back to Nat on Twitter-so he knows Toby has been fed．

A．wants his friends to feed Tody                                 
B．has very strong computing skills
C．is often too busy to feed his dog

分析 本文主要講的是一個(gè)狗狗愛好者設(shè)計(jì)了一個(gè)高科技系統(tǒng)，該系統(tǒng)用來遠(yuǎn)距離控制來喂養(yǎng)狗狗，并且發(fā)出消息．

解答 31．C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第三段的第一句"Nat often works away from home and isn't always able to feed Toby by hand．"可知，Nat因忙于工作沒時(shí)間喂狗才發(fā)明了這種高科技的喂狗方法．故選C．
32．A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由文章第七段中的"I'm thinking of doing an updated one which can measure his weight before he is fed，just to make sure he's not putting on too much puppy fat"可知，Nat限制喂食系統(tǒng)的運(yùn)行時(shí)間是為了不讓Toby長得太胖．故選A．
33．B．推理判斷題．從文章倒數(shù)第二段中的"When the mini-computer receives the message，a bell rings and Toby comes running over and sits in front of the feeding machine．"可推知，Toby已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了機(jī)器喂食的方式．故選B．
34．C．邏輯排序題．由最后三段的內(nèi)容可知，正確的順序是C項(xiàng)．故選C．
35．A．文章出處題．本文介紹的是一項(xiàng)新的科技發(fā)明，由此推測出該文最可能出自報(bào)紙的"科技"欄目．故選A．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是新聞報(bào)道類閱讀理解文章，閱讀此類文章主要是要了解：
①新聞報(bào)道了什么事件；②事件是因?yàn)槭裁炊l(fā)生的，相關(guān)背景如何；③文段中指出的事件發(fā)生過程中的突出細(xì)節(jié)是 什么；④事件造成的后果是什么；⑤事件的本質(zhì)是什么，透過事件的表面現(xiàn)象，我們看到了什么社會(huì)問題．通過這樣的梳理，我們就可以把新聞的脈絡(luò)理清楚．這類材料命題點(diǎn)往往落在事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)上．

2．The epicenter of the earthquake is about 70miles north of the city of Concepcion．The area has been rocked by dozens of aftershocks since the big  quake hit on Saturday morning．
3．On Sunday，Chilean President Michelle Bachelet updated re-ports on the toll the earthquake has taken．‘It's an enormous ca-tastrophe，'she said．Countless buildings and roadways have been destroyed or badly damaged．Rescuers continued to work around the clock to find survivors who may be trapped under the rubble of fallen buildings．Countless buildings and roadways have been destroyed or badly damaged．Rescuers continued to work around the clock to find survivors who may be trapped under the rubble of fallen buildings．Government officials estimate more than 2million people have lost their homes．
4．Bachelet assured people that food and medical aid were on the way．Ten thousand members of the Chilean military have been dispatched to help in the relief and recovery efforts．Many of the country's major grocery stores have started giving away basic food and supplies to people in the affected areas．Secretary-General of the United Nations spoke to President Bachelet by telephone．He assured her that the United Nations‘stands ready to assist the Chilean government's rescue and recovery efforts'．
