21、There are a lot of wild camels in Australia. Although they don’t appear to be as destructive as other introduced species because they eat trees and plants that our native Australian animals don’t eat, in the last few years the Australian Camel population has been increasing at a fairly alarming rate and becoming a bit of a problem.

We didn’t see them that often where we grew up unless we went further into Queensland or South Australia. When we did see them it was always a bit of a thrill for us kids because it was somewhat of a novelty.

The suggestion of bringing camels to Australia was first made in 1837, 49 years after Europeans arrived in Australia. The importing of camels into Australia began in the mid 1800s to open up the desert areas of Central and Western Australia. They were handled and cared for by Muslim cameleers that came from countries like Egypt, Turkey and northern India. The cameleers were called Afghans or “Ghans” even though most of them were not Afghans. The name stuck to a part of the railroad track that links Port Augusta in South Australia to Darwin in the Northern Territory.

In a famous 176-kilometre race, between Bourke and Wanaaring in New South Wales a camel was beaten by a horse but the horse died the next day while the camel was ridden back to the starting point.

By the 1920s there were about 20, 000 domesticated camels in Australia, but with the arrival of motor and rail transport in the 1930s people no longer needed their camels and a lot of them were abandoned in the bush.

Australian Camels are now exported live to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other countries where disease-free camels are considered a delicacy. Australian Camels are also exported to Arab Camel racing stables as breeding stock. The United States also imports them to use in tourist attractions. There are over 40 farms providing rides in Australia now.

【1】What problem with camels in Australia is mentioned?

A．They carry disease.

B．They hurt people sometimes.

C．The number of them is growing rapidly.

D．Some native animals are threatened by them.

【2】For what purpose were camels brought to Australia?

A．To keep the balance of nature.

B．To develop the desert areas.

C．To satisfy kids’ curiosity.

D．To create new jobs.

【3】What led to camels’ being deserted in Australia?

A．The disappearance of bushes.

B．The spread of a serious disease.

C．The introduction of other animals.

D．The availability of modern vehicles.

【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A．The history of Australian Camels.

B．What Australian Camels are used for.

C．The advantages of Australian Camels.

D．Why Australian Camels are popular abroad.

22、   Music is said to be a universal language. But for Chase Burton, a deaf filmmaker from Texas, music has always been a profoundly different experience.

“When I was a kid, I'd lie on the floor above our garage so I could feel the vibrations from my brother’s band rocking out below my body,” the 33-year-old told CNN. “That was one of the first times I began building a relationship with music.”

In 2016, his ability to experience music changed dramatically, thanks to California-based technology company Not Impossible Labs.

It designed a vibrating suit that enables deaf people to “feel” music through their skin. Consisting of a body harness, ankle and wrist straps, the device translates audio into a range of vibrating pulses that are felt at 24 contact points. Burton has been testing the suit for four years.

The sound hits different parts of your body, said Burton. “Maybe it will strike me down in my ankles first. And then I'll start to feel the vibrations in my back. And then I'll feel some pulsations in my wrist.”

The creators want to extend the tactile musical experience beyond the deaf community. In 2018, they gave out 150 of the wearables at a rock concert in Las Vegas where half the audience members were deaf and half were hearing.

Since then, Not Impossible Labs has been working to improve the technology and says it's ready to go to market soon. Eventually, the creators want the device to become a consumer product, accessible to all. The company’s talent and business development director, Jordan Richardson, told CNN that the technology could be incorporated into live sports broadcasts, video games, theme parks or museum installations. The newest digital streaming movie releases could have built in ‘vibe-tracks’ to ‘feel’ the movie. He said. “We truly think that anything that has an audio element can also have a vibrational experience associated with it as well.”

【1】How does Chase Burton feel music with the new technology?

A.By lying on the floor above their garage.

B.By wearing a wearable device to feel the vibrating pulses.

C.By striking different parts of his body.

D.By feeling the audio of the music.

【2】Which of the following is right?

A.Both deaf and common audience experienced the device in 2018.

B.Chase Burton is a deaf music maker.

C.Music always strikes Burton’s ankle first.

D.The device translates vibrating pulses into a range of audio.

【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.We can buy a vibrating suit on the market now. B.The device is only aimed at deaf people.

C.The technology will be used in other fields. D.The technology is mature and perfect.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A.Music dramatically changed my life B.Wearable devices for deaf people

C.How to feel the vibrations D.Vibrating suit allows deaf people to feel music

23、As 17-year-old Torri’ell Norwood drove through Florida, last February, the laughter and chatter from the four teenage girls inside her car quickly gave way to screams. As they approached an intersection, another car T-boned them, sending their car sailing into the yard of a nearby home, coming to a stop only when it crashed into a tree.

As smoke rose from the car, a bystander shouted, “It’s about to blow up! Get out!” Shaken, but otherwise OK, Norwood crawled out through the window as the driver’s side door couldn’t be opened. Along with two of her friends, who’d also managed to free themselves, she ran for her life. But halfway down the street, she realized that her best friend, Simmons, wasn’t with them. Norwood ran back and found Simmons unconscious in the back seat. She threw open the back door and pulled her friend out. She dragged Simmons a few feet to safety and laid her on the ground. After checking her pulse and found there was no sign of life, she started CPR.

Had the accident happened a few weeks earlier, she might not have known what to do. But just the day before, Norwood, who wanted to pursue a career in medicine, had earned her CPR certificate by learning on her own. Kneeling on the lawn and looking down at her dying friend, Norwood knew she had precious little time to practice what she’d learned.

She started pumping Simmons’s chest with her interlocked fingers and breathing into her friend's mouth in hopes of filling her lungs with the kiss of life. After quite a while, Simmons began coughing and taking quick deep breaths for air. The CPR had worked! Soon, the ambulance arrived and rushed Simmons to the hospital. And then she heard how her best friend had saved her life. “I wasn't shocked,” Simmons told others. “She will always help any way she can.”

【1】What caused the car crash?

A．Another car hit Norwood’s car near the intersection.

B．Norwood drove the car too quickly that day.

C．Norwood’s car crashed into a tree in a yard.

D．The girls were too excited to notice another car.

【2】What’s Norwood’s immediate reaction after hearing the bystander’s warning?

A．She crawled out through the window and ran without stopping.

B．She dragged her friends out and performed CPR at once.

C．She ran for her life but turned back to save her friend.

D．She opened the driver’s side door and pulled her friend out.

【3】Why did Norwood know how to perform CPR?

A．She had learned CPR in school classes.

B．She pursued a career in medicine.

C．The bystander told her how to do it.

D．She just earned her CPR certificate.

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A．Breath of Life.

B．A Frightening Night.

C．Power of Knowledge.

D．An Admirable Girl.

24、Since the invention of Guitar Hero and similar computer games, it is no longer necessary to imagine what it would be like to play along with the Beatles—you can come together with them in the virtual world.

Bill Wyman, former bass player(贝斯手) in the Rolling Stones, has pointed out that music video games discourage kids from learning to play real instruments. My own opinion suggest quite opposite.

Last year, I bought Guitar Hero Ⅲ for our 14-year-old son, Jack. Jack quickly mastered the process and entered an intense period of playing the game.

A few months later, while I was away on tour, a couple of his friends came around with a real electric guitar. Playing Guitar Hero had taught them how to play along the track. Now they wanted to see if they could apply that to the real thing. Jack’s friends taught him how to play along to his favorite songs using just his index finger (食指)on the bass string. He got it right away.

Guitar Hero had helped him over the first difficulty for guitar players—how to strum(拨弄) the strings with one hand while making chord(和弦) shapes with the other. He never plays Guitar Hero now, preferring to rock out in the garage with his mates.

Despite my attempts at getting him to learn an instrument, it was Guitar Hero that taught him the basics of playing and built up his confidence to the extent that he was able to make a recognizable sound the first time he played it.

So let’s not complain about a game that encourages kids to become music fans and, in our son’s case, gives them the basic skills needed to learn how to play guitar.

【1】What’s Bill Wyman’s attitude towards music video games?

A. Curious  B. Approving.  C. Negative.  D. Unconcerned.

【2】Which statement is TRUE about Jack’s first playing with a real electric guitar?

A. He did it successfully.

B. He taught his friends how to play.

C. He didn’t know how to play along to a song.

D. He didn’t know how to strum the instruments.

【3】What can we infer from Jack’s case?

A. Parents should encourage their kids.

B. Computer games are harmful to kids.

C. Kids should learn an instrument.

D. Guitar Hero is a useful game.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A. A new computer game

B. The story of a guitarist

C. In defense of Guitar Hero

D. The best way to play guitar
