2291．The joyful atmosphere
（完全地） attracted me at the party held for the agriculture harvest.發(fā)布：2024/5/27 14:0:0組卷：21引用：2難度：0.72292．
n.& v.燒傷；燙傷發(fā)布：2024/5/27 14:0:0組卷：0引用：1難度：0.82293．In many countries of the world，people can confidently tell you the meaning of their town or city，but most people who live in Manchester，Oxford or Birmingham would not be able to explain what the name of their city means．The name of every British town or city，however，has a long history．
Two thousand years ago，most people living in Britain were Celts．Even the word "Britain" is Celtic（凱爾特語）．Then the Romans arrived and built camps which became cities called "castra"．This is why there are so many place names in England which end in "-chester" or "-caster"，Manchester，for example．
The Romans never reached Wales or Scotland，and many place names there are Celtic．For example，Welsh place names that begin with "Llan" come from the Celtic word for "church"．
After the Romans left Britain，it was attacked by the Anglo-Saxons who were from the area of Europe that is now Germany and Holland．The names of their villages often end in "- ham" or "- ton"．Some get their names from the leader of the village．Birmingham for example，means "Beormund's village"
The Anglo-Saxons were farmers and the landscape was very important to them，so we have villages called Upton （village on a hill）-a good place to build a village and Moreton （"village by a lake"） where floods could make life hard．Place names that end in "- ford" （a place where you could cross a river） also describe the location of Anglo-Saxon villages．
Finally，in 1066 England became Norman-the Normans gave us the place name "grange"，which means farm．
And how about London？Experts cannot agree．The Romans called the city Londinium，but they were not the first inhabitants（居民）．People once believed that the United Kingdom's capital city got its name from the castle of a King called Lud，but this is very unlikely．Our best guess today is that the name comes from a Celtic word meaning a fast-flowing river．Like a number of British place names，its history is lost in time．

n．現(xiàn)象發(fā)布：2024/5/27 14:0:0組卷：0引用：2難度：0.72295．The Consumer Technology Association，formerly called The International Consumer Electronics Show，or CES，believes about 170，000 people will attend the show．About one-third of them are reported to come from countries besides the United States．
More than 4，000 businesses will show products used through the Internet such as gaming，self-driving cars，artificial intelligence（人工智能） and robotics．One of the biggest stars at CES this year is the voice-controlled digital（數(shù)字的） assistant．While the technology is not new，many companies will show off the latest digital assistants．
Equipment controlled by digital assistants，especially those turned on by voice，were already big sellers in 2017．This year，Google，Amazon and Apple are expected to release even more products to keep up with the rising demand．
Digital assistants are powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning technology．They are designed to learn users' preferences over time and then "think" and act on their own．Some of the biggest developments in technology have come in the area of home automation（自動化）．Amazon Echo，Google Home，Apple's Home Pod and Microsoft's Cortana are a few examples of voice-controlled equipment．All include smart speakers that "talk" to users inside the house and can perform operations．
Experts with the Consumer Technology Association say sales of smart speakers are expected to nearly double in 2019．
The Internet-linked products can play music or find information when asked questions．They can also control equipment such as lighting，cameras，televisions and temperature controllers．Among new "smart" home products to be released at the CES are voice-controlled washing machines，refrigerators，showers and toilets．There is also much new physical fitness and health-related equipment on show．Some are designed to help people create the best personal fitness plans to reach their goals．Wearable health equipment is used to study and measure body conditions，while others help recognize signs of disease．
