1、专题限时检测(十五)阅读理解细节理解类之事实认定题 (加的为事实认定题，本卷限时23分钟)A(2015扬州市高三期末检测)A spinoff from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) called Empatica, has created a wearable device that monitors epileptic seizures (癫痫发作)According to Statista, the value of the global mHealth market for 2015 is forecasted to be
2、 at around 14.5 billion US. dollars. In fact, 247 million people in the US have downloaded a healthcare app for their personal use.The new product, Embrace, can be paired with a companion watch that a family member, friend or caregiver can wear. When the companion watch is in range of the users Embr
3、ace watch, it will vibrate to alert the companion watch of their medical situation or status.Embrace is tied together by two apps: an event detector which sends an alert when the users electrodermal response reaches a pre set level they customize based on their history and health profile; and a diar
4、y app which helps monitor and manage everyday routines.The ultra thin Embrace is the result of several years of research from MIT professor Dr. Rosalind W. Picard, founder and director of the Affective Computing Research Group at MIT Media Lab and her team. Embrace evolved from a discovery with an e
5、arly device called iCalm in 2008 which allowed the researchers to see the outbreak of stress even before it was noticed by the subject.The sensors in the iCalm device measured the “fightorflight response” through electrodermal activity which was measured from the skin surface. In a small test group,
6、 the data from the iCalm showed that the wristband data was related to how long the brain waves were suppressed after an epileptic seizure. According to Picard, the data showed the bigger the signal on the wrist, the longer the brain waves went flat after the seizure had supposedly ended. The proble
7、m with that discovery, according to the researchers, is that someone whos had an epileptic seizure and then appears to recover should be monitored and not left alone.Over time, Picard and her team finetuned iCalm to what is now the Embrace watch which monitors the users physiological stress levels.
8、Embrace monitors electrodermal activity (EDA) and movement with an objective of reducing Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP), the leading cause of death of those with epilepsy.Embrace recently launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for further product development. The company also ha

His father, Keith, and his mother, Donna, were filled with ang
13、er as they followed the allconsuming ongoing investigation into the killing. A close couple, friends of Keith and Donnas, dropped in one evening and said to them, “You have to accept this loss. Your son is gone and none of this is going to bring him back. All you need now is acceptance.” Keith got a
14、ngry with his friend and asked, “What part of Alans death dont you think I accept? Believe me, I hate to be in so much pain.”Acceptance is not about liking a situation. It is about acknowledging all that has been lost and learning to live with that loss. It would be too soon for Keith to be able to
15、accept the situation. He can acknowledge the reality of the loss, but it would be unrealistic to think he should have found some peace with it by then.The gang member who killed Alan was sentenced to life in prison, and Keith and Donna went back to their own lives. But Keith actually had a new loss
16、to deal with, an emptiness, which made the absence of his sons loss even louder.It is important for people to understand that gradually, in your own time, you can begin to find some peace with what has happened. In situations such as murder, it is vital to understand we have a legal system, not necessarily a justice system. Acceptance is a
