26、National Disability Insurance Scheme (方案)

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) will transform the way Queenslanders with disability are supported and change the way disability services are funded and delivered.

Under the scheme, Queenslanders with disability will have choice and control over how they access support and who delivers them. They will also have certainty that they will be supported throughout their lifetime to achieve their personal goals.

The NDIS will have an effect on the following programs.

School Transport Assistance Program for Students with Disability

The NDIS will not disrupt existing services for qualified students. The Queensland Government will also continue to provide school transport assistance for students with disability who are not qualified to receive funding via the NDIS.

For more information about the School Transport Assistance Program, and to check your qualification, visit the Education and Training website.

Taxi Subsidy (补助金) Scheme

The Queensland Government has lengthened the Taxi Subsidy Scheme (TSS) membership for NDIS qualified members to 31 October, 2022. This will allow more time to solve transport support arrangements under the Commonwealth’s NDIS.

You can find more information about the TSS and your qualification on the TransLink website.

Disability Parking Permit Scheme

27、   Ecuador is one of the smallest countries in South Africa, but it definitely outshines its neighbors with impressive diversity and unique landscapes.

Explore the history of Quito

The capital of Ecuador stands at more than 2,850 meters above sea level, so be careful of altitude sickness if you're flying directly into the city. Quito consists of three different districts, including the Old Town, where you can see colonial (殖民地时期的)style architecture and churches.

Straddle (跨立于)the equator

As you may have guessed from the country's name, the equator actually cuts through Ecuador. The line just lies outside of Quito, at the spot where explorers calculated the line in 1736. These days, the spot is a tourist attraction with a painted yellow line indicating the equator.

Hike the Cotopaxi volcano

Standing at around 5, 897 meters above seal level, Cotopaxi is the world's third-tallest active volcano. It's also one of the few places worldwide where you'll find glaciers so close to the equator. Climbing the great snow-covered volcano is absolutely one of the highlights.

Explore the Amazon

The Amazon extends across Ecuador s eastern part and stretches into several other South American countries. The massive forest houses at least 10% of the world's species, including 1,600 different species of birds and plenty of mammals. Although Brazil's Manaus and Peru's Iquitos are more popular with travelers, Ecuador' s Lago Agrio is the cheapest gateway to the Amazon in South Africa.

【1】What can travelers do if they visit Ecuador according to the text?

A．Go surfing at a beach.

B．Try the thrilling skydiving.

C．Wander across the equator.

D．Take a close look at some wild animals.

【2】Why are people advised to enter the Amazon from Ecuador's Lago Agrio?

A．It offers a shorter way.

B．It is a much safer route.

C．They can spend less money.

D．They can enjoy more natural scenery.

【3】What do we know about Quito?

A．It is a newly-built city.

B．It is located on the plain.

28、As reported in JAMA Surgery, the researchers discovered that e-scooter(电动摩托车) injury rates had increased dramatically in just four years, rising from 6 per 100,000 in the population to 19 per 100,000. Of the estimated 14,651 e-scooter-related injuries in 2018, 4,658, or 32%, involved the head. “While most people recover from head injuries, there is going to be a subset with long-term disability and life changes,” said Dr. Benjamin Breyer.

Dr. Benjamin Breyer of the University of California, Los Angeles, pointed to a 2019 analysis of the data from two hospitals in Southern California, which found just 4.8% of injured e-scooter riders were wearing helmets.

Dr. Joann Elmore, a professor of medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, believed that most e-scooter users are probably unaware of the risks. To make the point, she described a photo taken by a colleague. “There were two riders on an e-scooter,” she said. “No one had shoes on. There were no helmets. And the woman in front had a baby in a baby carrier.”

The new report highlights the need for more research on new technologies, said Dr. Guohua Li, a professor of epidemiology(流行病学).

“Just as there is a global network of experts working on infectious diseases, there needs to be a similar program devoted to the surveillance(监视，监察) and prevention of injuries caused by merging technologies products and lifestyles, such as e-scooters, e-sports, etc.,” Li said in an email.

“The challenge for researchers and policymakers is to keep up with the ever-changing society and protect the public from unnecessary harm caused by new technologies and products without hindering innovation,” he added.

【1】What can we know from the passage?

A．E-scooter injury rates had increased due to speeding.

B．32% of injured e-scooter riders weren’t wearing helmets.

C．There is a program devoted to the prevention of injuries caused by advanced technologies.

D．Protection and innovation are of equal importance.

【2】What can we infer from Dr. Joann Elmore’s comments?

A．She is an anti-scooter.

B．The woman in front was pregnant.

C．She is concerned about the e-scooter users.

D．Most e-scooter riders often drive at high speed.

【3】What does the underlined word “hindering” probably mean?

A．Preventing.

B．Limiting.

C．Developing.

D．Making progress.

【4】What’s the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?

A．To arouse people’s awareness of the risks and self-protection.

B．To introduce a new way of transport — e-scooters.

C．To ask people not to ride e-scooters any more.

D．To urge policymakers to make laws as soon as possible.

29、In our life,they are two different types of dreamer，一low-recall dreamers and high-recall dreamers. According to researchers at the Lyon Nero-science Research Center in France, high-recall dreamers reported they remembered their dreams almost every day while low-recall dreamers said they only remembered their dreams once or twice a month, reported Live Science.

Perrine Ruby,a lead scientist at the research center in Lyon, studied 41 people (21 high-recall dreamers and 20 low-recall dreamers) and recorded their brain activity. She found that a part of the brain called the temporo-parietal junction ( 颞顶叶交界处）was more active in high-recall dreamers. This was true both when they were sleeping and awake. This area of the brain is responsible for collecting and processing information from the outside world. This means that high-recall dreamers are more sensitive to what is happening around them. For example, when they are awake, they respond more strongly to hearing their own names. When they are sleeping, they tend to be woken up more easily by sounds and movements.

By closely studying people’s brain activity, Ruby found that high-recall dreamers have twice as much “wakefulness time” during sleep as low-recall dreamers do. And it is during these short periods of wakefulness that the brain memorizes dreams.

This is not hard to understand. Just try to think of your own sleeping experience. If you are restless during the night, you are more likely to remember your dreams, but if you sleep well and soundly, you tend to remember very little in the morning. This is because “you never get a chance to remember”, Robert Stickgold, a Harvard Medical School researcher, told The Washington Post.

As another research project at the University of Turku in Finland showed, dream content can also affect our memory. Negative dreams are easier to recall than ordinary dreams. Nightmares are often recalled because they are emotionally negative, and such dreams cause fear.

【1】What can we know about high-recall dreamers according to the article?

A. They have very little brain activity when they sleep.

B. They can remember their dreams clearly.

C. They don’t know how to describe their dreams.

D. They can’t remember their dreams.

【2】Which is true about low-recall dreamers compared to high-recall dreamers?

A. They have higher quality sleep.

B. They have more sleepless nights

C. They are more easily woken at night.

D. They respond faster when hearing their names.

【3】What is the main purpose of the second to last paragraph?

A. To explain Ruby’s findings.

B. To attract readers, interest in future studies.

C. To show the advantages of being a low-recall dreamer.

D. To suggest what to do to become a low-recall dreamer.

【4】What did the research project in Finland find?

A. Ordinary dreams can help our brain rest.

B. Dreams are often affected by our emotions.

C. Nightmares often happen when we don't sleep well.

D. Negative dreams are more likely to be recalled.
