21、Using a raised eyebrow or smile, people with speech or physical disabilities can now operate their Android-powered smartphones without using their hands, Google said on Thursday.

Two new tools put machine learning and front-facing cameras on smartphones to work, detecting face and eye movements. Users can look at their phone screens and select a task by smiling, raising eyebrows, opening their mouths, or looking to the left, right or up.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that 61 million adults in the United States live with disabilities, which has pushed Google, Apple and Microsoft to make products and services more accessible to them.“Every day, people use voice instructions, like ’Hey Google’, or their hands to operate their phones,” the techgiant Google said in a blog post.“However, that’s not always possible for people with serious motor or speech disabilities.”

The changes are the result of two new features: One is called “Camera Switches”, which lets people use their faces instead of swipes and taps to interact with smartphones.The other is Project Activate, a new Android application which allows people to use those gestures to start an action, like having a phone play a recorded phrase, send a text, or make a call. The free Activate app is available in Australia, Britain, Canada and the United States at the Google Play Store.

Apple, Google and Microsoft have kept rolling out innovations that make Internet technology more accessible to people with disabilities or who find that age has made some tasks, such as reading, more difficult. Voice-instructed digital assistants built into speakers and smartphones can enable people with sight or movement challenges to tell computers what to do. There is software that identifies text on webpages or in images and then reads it aloud, as well as automatic generation of captions (字幕) that display what is said in videos. Apple built “AssistiveTouch” into the software powering its smartwatches. It lets touchscreen displays be controlled by sensing movements such as finger pinches (捏) or hand clenches.

【1】What is the main role of the two new tools?

A．Taking sharper photographs.

B．Operating smartphones with face gestures.

C．Increasing the fun of playing with smart-phones.

D．Protecting smartphones from being stolen.

【2】Why is Google’s blog post mentioned in the third paragraph?

A．To stress the necessity of the two new tools.

B．To show the popularity of Google’s products.

C．To praise the smartphone as a great invention.

D．To draw attention to people with speech disabilities.

【3】What do we know about the Project Activate app?

A．It’s instructed by voice.

B．It’s sold at a high price.

C．It’s mainly used to send texts.

D．It’s being used in only a few countries.

【4】What does the underlined part “rolling out”in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A．Bringing out.

B．Referring to.

C．Picking out.

D．Reacting to.

22、Most of us have quite good memories, but our memories are limited. For example, we cannot remember everyone we have ever met or what we did on every single day of our lives. However, there are some people who do have prodigious memories. These people have a rare condition known as savant syndrome（学者症候群）. Savants suffer

from a developmental disorder, but they also exhibit great talents that contrast（显出差异）sharply with their physical and mental disabilities.

Kim Peek (1951-2009) was a savant who lived in Salt Lake City, Utah, in the United States. He was born with damage to parts of his brain, but it seemed that other parts of his brain, particularly those relating to memory, became over-developed.

Peek’s unique abilities appeared at a very early age. When he was just 20 months old, he could already remember every book that was read to him. Peek could read two pages of a book at the same time-one page with the right eye and one with the left-in less than 10 seconds and remember everything he read. By the time he died, Peek had memorized more than 9,000 books. He could remember all the names and numbers in a variety of telephone books. He could remember thousands of facts about history, literature, geography and sports.

Dr. David Treffert, an expert on savant syndrome, once described Peek as “a living Google” because of his astonishing ability to memorize and connect facts. However, at the same time, Peek was unable to carry out simple tasks, such as brushing his hair or getting dressed, and he needed others to help him. In 1989, the movie Rain Man won the Oscar for best Picture. The main character in the movie, played by Dustin Hoffman, was based on Kim Peek's life. He started to appear on television, where he would amaze audiences by correctly answering difficult questions on different topics. Peek-became world famous, and he and his father began touring widely to talk about overcoming disabilities. He inspired a great many people with his words. “Recognizing and respecting differences in others, and treating everyone in the way you want them to treat you, will make our world a better place for everyone.

Everyone is different.”

【1】The underlined word “prodigious” in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.

A．happy

B．clear.

C．amazing

D．short

【2】According to the text, Peek ______.

A．could take care of himself

B．was born with a good memory

C．was the student of Dr. David Treffert

D．became brain-damaged at 20 months old

【3】How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?

A．By giving facts.

B．By following time order.

C．By explaining causes.

D．By making comparisons.

【4】Peek’s words suggest that we should ______.

A．respect different cultures

B．listen to different opinions

C．treat different people differently

D．respect others’ differences

23、The classroom environment offers many ways to include fun and laughter into a potentially dull routine, and effective educators make the most of these opportunities. 【1】.

Lighten up the atmosphere

Humour can be used to enrich literacy skills, spark creativity, teach critical analysis or just lighten the mood in the classroom. 【2】. Make fun of yourself and your mistakes. This can make students smile and has the added benefit of showing students that teachers are human. Use current music and sports subjects in teaching examples to engage students and introduce a fun cultural reference into the usually somber atmosphere of school.

Use humour in the media

【3】. Take advantage of political cartoons to analyse historical events or trends and begin a debate. Humorous authors and reporters in the media can be used as models for writing jobs or oral presentations.

【4】

Children can fill in the words the cartoon characters might say, and then transfer those actual words into a story using quotation marks. Comics also can be used to teach literary devices such as puns, metaphors and symbolism. Children can create their own comics combining imagery from word pairs, a cartoon mouse using a computer mouse, for instance.

The learning benefits of humour

【5】. Humour is found to be an important entryway into improving social connections with others. Brains might be able to be trained to interpret a difficult situation in a humorous way in order to help the body cope with stressful circumstances.

A．Keep a cartoon and joke file

B．Include happy remarks throughout lessons

C．Find humour from the behaviour of students

D．Humour is a kind of daily show for teachers

E．So young students laugh a lot in their classrooms

F．Humour can improve learning and strengthen memories

G．Newspapers provide points for issues on current events

24、Once small farmers in Masii, a remote village in Kenya, have picked their crops, all they can do is wait until a buyer trucks through. The system works fairly well for beans and corn, but mangoes-the area’s other main crop-spoil (腐烂) more quickly. If the trader is late, they rot.

However, a simple coating could change that. A company, SmartTech, has created a product that doubles the shelf life of fresh produce, enabling farmers to access far-off, larger markets. More time for fresh produce on grocers’ shelves also means less food waste-a $2.6 trillion problem, according to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

James Rogers, CEO of SmartTech, wanted to solve the problem for food much in the same way that oxide barriers preventing rust (锈) have achieved for steel. Fortunately, researchers have found when plants made the jump from water to land, they developed cutin(蜡质), a barrier which is made of fatty acids that link together to form a seal around the plant, helping keep water in.

The cutin was such a grand strategy that today you’ll still find it across the plant kingdom. SmartTech discovered through researches that an orange can last longer than a strawberry not so much because of the thickness of its skin, but because of the difference in the arrangement of those cutin molecules (分子)on the surface. After extensive trials, Rogers and his team developed a natural and tasteless protective coating from plant material-stems, leaves and skins. The product extends the sweet spot between ripening and rot. And best of all, the treated produce doesn’t require refrigeration.

“SmartTech has huge potential to turn poor farmers in Africa into commercial farmers,” says Rogers. “That means more money in pockets, and more food in stomachs.” But whether the company can cost-effectively reach small farmers in far-off areas still remains a challenge.

【1】The author mentions the small farmers in Kenya to ________.

A．stress their need for preserving produce

B．show their challenge in harvesting crops

C．express their wish to reach larger markets

D．evaluate their loss caused by slow transport

【2】What can we learn about SmartTech’s product?

A．It is financially supported by FAO.

B．It is intended to replace refrigeration.

C．It is designed to thicken produce’s skin.

D．It is based on plants’own defence system.

【3】What will James Rogers probably focus on next?

A．How to expand farms.

B．How to earn more money.

C．How to produce more tasty food.

D．How to profit farmers in remote area.

【4】The main purpose of the passage is to ________.

A．promote a product

B．present a technology

C．advertise SmartTech

D．introduce James Rogers

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

It’s a common sight to see food delivery workers riding electric bikes through big cities in China. Most of them seem to be in a hurry, as they run red lights to deliver their meals in time. However, such reckless(鲁莽的)behavior often causes serious problems.

In the first half of this year, food delivery drivers had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai alone, according to the Shanghai Public Security Bureau. This means that on average, there is a food delivery worker that gets hurt or even dies on the road in Shanghai every 2.5 days.

Other cities also share similar problems. In Nanjing, three people died and 2,473 were injured in road accidents related to food delivery workers in the same period, according to the Ministry of Public Security.

The rise of reckless behavior among food delivery workers is closely related to the growing demand for their service, reported People’s Daily. About 150 million people in China use food delivery services, according to China Radio International (CRI). Such a big market has led to a large demand for food delivery workers, with some companies offering high salaries to attract new workers.

However, food delivery workers are often under high pressure from their employers. They face company fines of 20 yuan for delivering food late and upwards of 200 yuan for receiving complaints, reported CRI. Moreover, the more orders they take, the more commission(佣金)they can earn, leading to some workers checking their mobile phones for new orders while they're riding their bikes.

While most companies have measures requiring delivery workers to follow traffic rules, “there remains a problem of whether these requirements and rules for delivery workers are truly entering their ears, brains and hearts,” Wang Liang, deputy head of the Traffic Police Security Bureau, told news website The Paper.

To solve the problem, some cities have taken action. Shanghai has asked companies to train their workers on traffic rules and safety. Now in Shenzhen, if a delivery worker gets caught breaking traffic rules more than twice, he or she will be banned from driving food delivery vehicles for a whole year.
