21、   The vision of a completely blind man has been partially restored using light - sensing proteins first found in algae (藻). He was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa 40 years ago. When he was treated with optogenetics (光遗传学), which uses light to control precisely the activity of brain cells, the ability of one of his eyes to detect light was restored.

The first step in the treatment was gene therapy (治疗). The genetic instructions for making the light - sensing proteins were taken from algae and given to cells in the deep surviving layers of the retina at the back of his eye. Now when they were hit with light they would send an electrical signal to the brain. However, they would respond only to amber light, so the patient wore a pair of goggles (protective glasses) with a video camera on the front and a projector on the back, to capture what was happening in the real world and project a version in the right wavelength onto the back of the eye. It took months for high enough levels of the rhodopsins to build up in the eye and for the brain essentially to learn a new language to be able to see again.

The man first knew it was working when he realized he could see the painted stripes of a crossing. He can now grab and count objects on a table, Nature Medicine reports. Dr Jose - Alain Sahel, from the Institute of Vision, in Paris, said: "This patient initially was a bit frustrated because it took a long time between the injection and the time he started to see something. But when he started to report he was able to see the white lines to come across the street you can imagine he was very excited. We were all excited.”

Prof Botond Roska, from the University of Basel, said: “The findings provide proof - of - concept that using optogenetic therapy to partially restore vision is possible.”

【1】What's the text mainly about?

A．Special proteins found in algae

B．A man suffering from vision problem

C．A study related to light and brain cells

D．A therapy to bring back vision partially

【2】What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Instructions

B．Cells

C．Proteins

D．Layers

【3】When did the man realize the treatment worked?

A．When he wore a pair of goggles

B．When he could seize objects and count them

C．When he had the injection

D．When he saw the white lines of a crossing

【4】What's Prof Roska's attitude towards opotogenetic therapy?

A．Optimistic

B．Doubtful

C．Unconcerned

D．Negative

22、   Visitors to Henn-na, a restaurant outside Nagasaki, Japan, are greeted by an unusual sight: their food being prepared by a row of humanoid robots. The “head chef”, named Andrew, is using his two long arms; he stirs batter (面糊) in a metal bowl, then pours it onto a hot grill. In a nearby hotel, robots check guests into their rooms and help with their luggage.

CEO Hideo Sawada, who runs the restaurant and the hotel, predicts that 70% of the jobs at Japan’s hotels will be automated (自动化) in the next five years. He said, “Since you can work them 24 hours a day, and they don’t need vacation, eventually it’s more cost-efficient to use the robot.”

This is seemingly worrying. In fact, in America, automation helps the food-service and accommodation sector continue to grow. In the company Panera, because of its new kiosks, an app that allows online ordering, the chain is now processing more orders overall, which means it needs more total workers to meet consumer demand. Starbucks customers who use the chain’s app return more frequently than those who don’t, the company has said, and the greater efficiency that online ordering allows has boosted sales at busy stores during peak hours. Starbucks employed 8% more people in the U.S. in 2016 than it did in 2015, the year it launched the app.

Of course, whether automation is a net benefit for workers in restaurants and hotels, and not just a competitive advantage for one chain over another will depend on whether an improved customer experience makes Americans more likely to dine out and stay at hotels, rather than brown-bagging it or finding an Airbnb to book unique homes.

【1】Why does the writer describe the unusual sight in Paragraph 1?

A.To promote robots. B.To introduce the topic.

C.To voice his opinion. D.To show the background.

【2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.Automation may be a challenge to human jobs.

B.Automation may increase business costs.

C.Workers may fail to focus on their tasks.

D.Many companies may fail to survive.

【3】What can we learn from the two cases in Paragraph 3?

A.The two companies are trying to take over the market competitively.

B.Automation could open up more job chances for humans.

C.Starbucks employed more people than Panera did in 2016.

D.Automation helps the shops become famous online.

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the future of automation?

A.Critical. B.Negative. C.Objective. D.Indifferent.

23、A national engineering laboratory in Tianjin is the base of the world’s largest and most advanced sound source identification system for commercial use. At first glance, the equipment, known as a sound camera and consisting of a big wheel with a supporting frame, is similar to a mini Ferris wheel that lacks seats and cannot rotate. A closer look at the 5-meter-diameter wheel reveals high-tech features like an array of 144 sensors used to capture, identify and analyze the source of noise on railways. “It is like a sound radar for discovering noise,” said Hu Wenlin, vice head of the National Engineering Laboratory for Noise Control and Reduction at China Railway Design Corporation.

Hu said that the data produced by the machine allows engineers to better understand the sounds generated when a train passes by, such as which part produces the most noise. After analyzing the data, engineers can draw up precise plans to reduce noise and make construction plans accordingly. For example, if a railway passes a residential area with stricter noise abatement requirements, engineers can come up with a plan to minimize noise, usually at greater expense. But if a railway passes a place with more relaxed noise control requirements, designers can make a cheaper plan.

Noise control technologies have been applied to dozens of major railway projects across the country. The sound camera, fully developed in China, is advanced by world standards, said Wang Changjin, the director of the National Engineering Laboratory. Before the sound camera was available, engineers usually used a pole fitted with sensors to collect sound data along railway lines. “It cannot be compared to the technique we are using now, which is far more accurate,” Wang said.

The machine is just one of many innovations developed by the laboratory. It has conducted many research projects on railways, leading to the development of key noise control equipment for high-speed railways and bringing quieter lives to people living near the lines.

【1】What can we know about the sound camera from paragraph 1?

A．It is invented by Hu Wenlin.

B．It is a sound radar in the shape of a wheel.

C．It is fitted with many sensors to study noise.

D．It transforms sound information into images.

【2】What does the underlined word “abatement” probably mean?

A．Increasing.

B．Ranking.

C．Reducing.

D．Analyzing.

【3】What highlights the sound camera according to paragraph 3?

A．It is very easy to move.

B．It consumes little energy.

C．It is available for everyone.

D．It operates far more accurately.

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

A．Technology Frees People from Noise

B．Sound Camera Makes Rail Lines Quieter

C．The Importance of Conducting Sound Research

D．The Influence of Noise Pollution on People’s Life

24、For some people, running outdoors is a great way to exercise. What may not be so great is seeing trash all over the ground. Well, some people are doing something about it. They are plogging! Plogging began in Sweden in 2016. A Swedish man named Erik Ahlstrom became concerned about the amount of trash and litter he saw each day on his way to work and he began picking up the trash. That is how plogging was born!

Plogging, by that term，may have officially begun in Sweden. But many people who exercise outdoors have been doing this for years. Take Jeff Horowitz for example. He is a personal trainer in Washington，D. C. He would often pick up trash while running outside. He even turned it into a game; he would try to pick up the trash without stopping.

Today, plogging is an official activity, one that is becoming increasingly popular. Plogging can build closer social connections in a community, and it can also be fun. When Dana Allen goes plogging around D. C., she invites her friends, and they make a day of it. Although Allen enjoys plogging，she doesn’t do it all the time. When she is training for a serious marathon race，the trash has to wait.

Cities around the world now hold plogging events. The goal is to spread the idea that littering is not acceptable. Along with cleaning up the environment, there may be another reason to choose plogging. One fitness app，Lifesum，records one hour of plogging as burning 288 calories. Usual jogging burns about 235 calories.

Getting ready to plog is similar to getting ready to jog. Ploggers do some deep knee bends as well as some balancing exercises and then they put on protective gloves. There are other safety rules for plogging. The main one is to plog in areas where there are not too many people. Stopping quickly in front of someone. to pick up an empty bag of potato chips, for example, could cause a crash.

【1】What do we know about Jeff Horowitz from the text?

A．He was the first person to plog.

B．He has been actually plogging.

C．He is in support of eco-travelling.

D．He is an expert in picking up trash.

【2】What is so special about Dana Allen’s plogging?

A．She doesn’t always do it with her friends.

B．She always finds it interesting to do it.

C．She nearly does it in a park every day.

D．She doesn’t insist doing it every day.

【3】What do the numbers in Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?

A．Picking up trash is important.

B．Plogging events are of little use.

C．Plogging is a better workout.

D．The idea of plogging is strange.

【4】Why should ploggers choose to plog in less crowded areas?

A．To avoid a crash.

B．To save energy.

C．To pick up more trash.

D．To make it unknown.
