21、People such as singers, public speakers and teachers run the risk of injuring their vocal cords (声带) through overuse. An experimental wearable system is designed to help keep that from happening, by warning users as they approach their vocal threshold (阈值).

The setup is being developed by a team of materials scientists, biomedical engineers, opera singers and a speech-language pathologist, led by Northwestern University’s Prof. John A. Rogers. It incorporates two devices: a sensor that is stuck to the skin over the wearer’s breastbone, and a haptic (触觉的) feedback unit which is worn on their wrists. Both are wirelessly linked via bluetooth to an app on the user’s smartphone.

The sensor continuously detects the shaking movements of the wearer’s vocal cords — but not any outside noises — sending its readings to the app. If the app determines that the person is getting dangerously close to the specific threshold which they previously set for themselves, it warns them by causing the haptic feedback unit to shake. The user then knows to shut up for a while — or at least quiet down a bit — in order to give their vocal cords a rest. Even a break of just 15 to 20 minutes may be sufficient.

A display on the app provides more information on the user’s vocal activity, along with recommendations for resting appropriately. And importantly for the privacy-conscious, the system does not record what the user is saying.

“It’s easy for people to forget how much they use their voice,” said Theresa Brancaccio, a Northwestern lecturer and voice expert who co-led the study. “Experienced classical singers tend to be more aware of their vocal usage because they have lived and learned. But some people often don’t realize how much they are pushing it. We want to give them greater awareness to help prevent injury.”

【1】What’s the purpose of the experimental wearable system?

A．To make users keep up with the times.

B．To help examine users’ skin and wrists.

C．To prevent users harming their vocal cords.

D．To facilitate the teachers’ teaching activities.

【2】What does the underlined word “incorporates” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Defeats.

B．Advertises.

C．Balances.

D．Includes.

【3】What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the system?

A．Its working process.

B．Its purpose of design.

C．Its economic advantages.

D．Its key components.

【4】What do we know about the system?

A．It records what the users are saying.

B．It takes the privacy of the users seriously.

C．It shows information on the users’ weight.

D．It reminds the users of dangers on the road.

22、Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.

In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.

Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea; clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?

Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist (免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.

【1】The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because .

A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment

B. they believed disease could be spread in public baths

C. they thought bath houses were to dirty to stay in

D. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease

【2】Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?

A. Approving   B. Afraid

C. Curious   D. Uninterested

【3】How does the passage mainly develop?

A. By providing examples

B. By making comparisons

C. By following the order of importance

D. By following the order of time

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A. To stress the role of dirt

B. To present the change of views on dirt

C. To introduce the history of dirt

D. To call attention to the danger of dirt

23、   Award winning film Ballad from Tibet by Chinese director Zhang Wei was screened in New York City in March.

The film tells the story of four visually impaired kids from China’s Tibet going on a journey for their dreams.

Based on a true story, Ballad from Tibet is about the four Tibetan kids — Thupten, Sonam, Kelsang and Droma — achieving their dreams against all odds.

Thupten is a 10-year-old boy partially sighted in one eye and blind in the other. His doctor says that there is a chance that he could completely lose his sight, but there is an operation that could offer a 50 percent of saving his vision.

His teacher firmly suggests that he should have the operation right away, but Thupten is afraid and wants to see the world before his life is plunged into total darkness.

Along with his three friends who also suffer from blindness, Thupten goes on an exciting adventure. Together they decide to go to Shenzhen in South China’s Guangdong Province, a city more than 37,000km away from Tibetan capital Lhasa.

The reason for the children’s decision to go to Shenzhen is their love of music. They are all talented and want to sing their hearts out in front of the national audience by participating in a Shenzhen - based reality show.

The foursome’s trip is indeed fun, but also turns out to be dangerous. Luckily, help is on hand along the way in the form of a wandering family, a shepherd, a motorcycle club, and a TV producer’s assistant.

Ballad from Tibet has won the award for Best Children’s Feature at the 13th China International Children’s Film Festival in November 2017, and earned nominations at 17 different international children’s film festivals in Germany, Canada, Japan, Greece, Australia and India.

C.The teacher advises them to go there to pursue their dreams.

D.They want to look for their parents there.

【3】Which of the following statements is true?

A.The operation can completely save Thupten’s vision.

B.Thupten’s teacher goes on the trip with them.

C.Thupten wants to realize his dream before he totally loses his vision.

24、Last year, I fell into a deep depression. It was caused by a car accident. I was in physical recovery from the accident and suddenly all of my old hurts started coming up. I found myself crying on the floor of my apartment. 【1】 I didn’t want to feel this way anymore.

Let’s pause for a moment. I don’t want you to bleed with me or to pity me. But I also don’t want to cover my reality. And the truth is, beneath the shiny photos you see on the Internet, I’m still a work in progress. 【2】 Like all of us, I’m doing the best I can and making the best choices I can. Back to the evening when I found myself lying on the floor.

What happened next? I started writing.

There was a TV show I absolutely loved. I started writing fan fiction. It provided a beautiful place of escape from the thoughts swimming in my head. 【3】 I started to feel like myself again.

After completing four-part fan fiction totaling around 12,000 words, I had an idea. I should write a novel to give a hand to those like me.

I continued writing, having no idea where it would lead. I didn’t know I would publish it but, after much resistance on my part I finally made the decision to publish the book under my own name. No pen name. No hiding on the deep bowels of the Internet.

And so here we are. 【4】 Sure, readers will enjoy the twists and turns. And I can see myself in the character. 【5】 I wrote it to help people. To give them a place to belong to. A place to talk about this fictional world. The very same thing that saved me last year.

If the story provides this to just one person, I’ve done my job.

A．I’m not perfect.

B．I didn’t see a way out.

C．The depression started to lift.

D．But that’s not my real motivation.

E．The day before the release of the book.

F．Sometimes I even feel I am the character.

G．I’ve become a successful writer of many books.
