21、   Modem technology allows scientists to look inside a living human brain to see what is happening. These procedures are safe and painless. By understanding the normal brain activity, doctors and scientists are better able to assess the brain behavior during times of injury, disease, and mental illness.

CT or CAT scans: Computed tomography (CT) or computerized axial tomography (CAT) shows images of the brain by passing multiple X-ray beams through the brain tissue. CT or CAT scans show a cross-section of the brain. These scans can be used to find brain tumors.

MRI scans : Magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI) uses powerful magnet to cause the atoms of the brain to shake, MRI sensors pick up the signals emitted ( Hi) from the brain5s atoms and a computer interprets them as a picture, MRIs show more detail than CT or CAT scans can. They are especially useful in finding brain tumors that grow on the back of the brain, between the ears.

PET scans: Positron emission tomography ( PET) is different from other scans because it shows how the brain functions. After a person bloodstream is injected with a small dose of glucose (葡萄糖）,which is what gives the brain energy, scanners around the head detect where the glucose moves. The PET scan shows which part of the brain uses a lot of glucose, which are the more active parts. PET scans are helpful for diagnosing strokes, studying mental illness, and learning how the brain processes language.

【1】How can doctors and scientists understand the brain’s reaction to injury, disease, or mental illness?

A.By contrasting/comparing it with normal brain activities.

B.By passing the X-Ray beams through the brain tissue,

C.By picking up the signals emitted from the brain^ atoms.

D.By being injected with glucose and detecting where it moves.

【2】Which of the following is helpful for diagnosing brain tumors?

A.CT / CAT and PET. B.MRI and PET.

C.CT/CAT and MRI. D.CT and CAT.

【3】If a person suffers from defect in speaking, which scan will a doctor like to suggest?

A.CT/CAT. B.MRI.

C.PET. D.Any of them.

22、   Though the Haskell Free Library and Opera House might not be as well-known as the Grand Canyon, it’s undoubtedly one of America’s most unique tourist attractions. Completed in 1904, the building is stationed directly between Stanstead, Quebec, and Derby Line, Vermont, with the official U.S.-Canada borderline running right across the library’s floor.

Martha Stewart Haskell and her son, Colonel Horace Stewart Haskell, both Canadians, built the building as respect to Mrs. Haskell’s late husband, Carlos. The family hoped that citizens from both countries would use it as a “center for learning and cultural enrichment”, according to the official Haskell Free Library website.

The Haskell is divided between the two countries. While the library’s official entrance is on the U.S. side of the building, most of the books are on the Canadian side. The opera house is similarly split, with most of its seats in the U.S. and its stage in Canada. As Atlas Obscura reported, it is often said that the Haskell is the only library in the U.S. with no books, and the only opera house in the country with no stage.

Passports and other forms of identification aren’t required to cross from country to country in the library, though the Haskell’s website notes that the border inside the building “is real and it is enforced”. Visitors are expected to return to their side of the border after a visit. If they don’t, they risk possible detention and fines.

Even beyond the building’s unique position, library director Nancy Rumery told CTV News that Haskell staffers—Canadian and American alike—consider the institution to be like any other library in the world.

“We’re just trying to be the best library, and our community is made up of people from two different countries,” she said. “We don’t think of it in that big symbolic way that I think a lot of people do. These are all our neighbors and we do our very best to help them on their life-long learning journey.”

【1】What can be learned about the Haskell Free Library?

A. It has a history of almost 100 years.

B. It runs across the U.S.-Canada border.

C. It can be compared to the Grand Canyon.

D. It is a well-known tourism site in Mexico.

【2】Why was the Haskell Free Library built?

A. To be in honor of Mrs. Haskell.

B. To donate books to the community.

C. To support the cultural needs of citizens.

D. To offer a relaxing environment for both countries.

【3】What is required if you are a visitor to the library?

A. A passport must be carried. B. Border laws must be respected.

C. An ID card must be checked. D. A personal photo must be taken.

【4】What can be inferred from Nancy Rumery’s words?

A. The library takes on a symbolic meaning.

B. She hopes to offer the best service to the visitors.

C. She expects the library to be something different from others.

D. The library strengthens the ties between the bordering countries.

23、At least 30 tornadoes swept through six states overnight in the central parts of the United States, including Arkansas, Mississippi, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri. The number of death could be over 80. The local media reported on Saturday that a candle factory in Kentucky has been completely destroyed, “There were about 110 people in it at the time that the tornado hit it,” Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said. “We believe the number of death from this event will be more than 50 Kentuckians and probably end up 70 to 100.”

Beshear has declared a state of emergency in the area. Tornadoes also hit a nursing home in Arkansas and took off the roof of an Amazon warehouse in Illinois, causing certain deaths. Another nursing home and a fire station in Trumann of Tennessee also saw a lot of damage.

It was the worst tornado that broke out in northeastern Arkansas and stayed on the ground for about 223 miles into Kentucky. Local media reported that it was most likely the longest reported tornado in history. US President Joe Biden told reporters that he had been closely watching the situation. He also had called the governors of the states that had been seriously affected by one of the “largest tornado outbreaks in our history.” Biden told reporters he planned to travel to the region to survey storm damage if possible but didn’t want to be in the way.

According to PowerOutage.US, at least 331,549 customers in four states were left without power. Issuing tornado warning on Friday, the National Weather Service said at least 25 million people were facing dangers from many thunderstorm systems.

24、As life in cities worldwide becomes more expensive, urban designers are using modern technology to help citizens avoid traffic jams, and shorten the time needed for bus waiting and other things. Technology is also used to cut costly waste.

In Santander, a Spanish port city, parking is easy to find. As one car drives away, an underground sensor shows that a parking space is now free. 400 sensors send messages to signs on streets, and GPS devices direct drivers to the nearest available parking spaces, reducing traffic jams. Trash is collected only when the bins are full and bus stop signs show exactly when the next bus is coming. The public parks are watered only the soil gets dry. All this is made possible by 20,000 sensors installed on buildings, street posts and even buses. They are part of the “smart city” project, launched by the University of Cantabria seven years ago.

University researchers like Luis Munoz regularly meet with locals to discuss how to make their city even smarter. “They propose when they have ideas and sometimes even develop by themselves. Here, we give them the opportunity to see these ideas happen in real life,” said Munoz. For example, the university helped a woman create an app that outlines the easiest route for walking with a baby stroller. Another provides information to residents about their water consumption and sends an alarm to their phone if there is a leak.

The Santander smart project is attracting the attention of larger cities in Europe and elsewhere that are looking for smart solutions to urban problems.

【1】What is the life like in Santander?

A．It is meaningful.

B．It is full of freedom.

C．It is likely to change fast.

D．It is effective and convenient.

【2】How can residents help Munoz’s job?

A．By offering some original or fresh ideas.

B．By showing him around the city.

C．By installing sensors themselves.

D．By using as little water as possible.

【3】What does the underlined word “Another” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．A university.

B．A phone.

C．An easy route.

D．An app.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．A Worldwide Problem

B．A Smart City Project

C．A Creative Researcher

D．A Trend in Urban Design
