21、 Facebook has taken over a start-up named CTRL-Labs, which is developing devices that can pick up electrical signals from the brain and transmit them to a computer. CTRL-Labs has designed a wristband that can identify the signals the brain sends to the hand telling it to move, and decode (解码) them. It could then transmit that command — for example, to press a button — to a computer or other devices.
It also captures (捕捉) your intention”, said Facebook VR president Andrew Bosworth. “So you can share a photo with a friend using an imperceptible (极细微的) movement or just by, well, intending to,” he said in a post on his personal Facebook page.
Facebook has not confirmed a report by CNBC which claimed that the deal was worth between $500 m and $ l bn (£0.4bn and £0.8bn).). Mr Bosworth said he hoped the CTRL-Labs team would help Facebook to “build this kind of technology, at scale and get it into consumer products faster”.
There was a mixed response to the news.
“Facebook needd to leave us alone. Step away from our lives more.” tweeted tech commentator Azeem Azhar.
“I’m very curious to see what the response is from regulators here,” wrote an analyst Fatemeh Khatibloo.
Underneath Andrew Bosworth’s Facebook post, Josh Chan, founder of an educational app, said the news was exciting.
“As an educator, I’m imagining how this could transform how we all learn,” he said.
Facebook implied it would be some time before the product came to market. “The CTRL-Labs technology is an innovative input that Facebook hopes will be used to significantly improve the upcoming Facebook VR experiences a few years down the road to fundamentally improve the user experience.” it said.
Facebook may have more to say about the new acquisition on Wednesday at its annual VR headset event, which the firm purchased in 2014 for around $2bn.
【1】What does the underlined sentence imply?
A.Facebook should not affect people’s lives any more.
B.Facebook should get less involved in people’s lives.
C.Facebook should be less concerned about people’s lives.
D.People’s lives have been totally disturbed by Facebook.
【2】What is the author’s attitude towards CTRL-Labs?
A.Positive. B.Negative. C.Objective. D.Indifferent.
【3】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.The acquisition of a start-up company that has designed a fancy wristband.
B.The design of a high-tech product that can greatly affect people’s lives.
C.The development of a wristband that can capture users’ intentions.
D.The purchase of a start-up company that is developing a mind-reading product.

23、The U.S. government is facing an increasing bother. Wild pigs, at their worst, can damage crops, spread diseases, attack humans and kill farm animals. And things are getting worse: a study shows that they are likely to double in number over the next 3 years. Why is it so hard to control wild pigs?
Introduced to America in the 16th century, and related to the wild pigs found in Europe, wild pigs can be found in 75% of all states. No single law exists to control them and regulations differ between states: while in Missouri they can only be shot if met by chance, in Texas hunting is actively encouraged; a “pork chopper” law allows Texan hunters to shoot wild pigs from helicopters, and some people in Louisiana have even built their own pig—hunting drone(无人机). As well as being popular with hunters, wild pigs are cheaper for game raisers to breed(饲养)than deer. In Michigan and Pennsylvania suggested bans on the private breeding of pigs for hunting have caused quarrels between game raisers and wildlife officials.
Wild pigs' double nature—considered pests by farmers, but valued by hunters—makes it hard to pass laws to control them. Two other factors also contribute. Nearly 70% of land in America is privately owned. And it is difficult for lawmakers to force breeding and hunting laws on private landowners. Secondly, it is hard to define a wild pig.
In some states, laws are being introduced to redefine the term “wild animal” to keep out wild pigs. This is good news for those raising pigs for hunting, but less are to those who consider them pests whose number should be limited. Meanwhile, discussions continue over how to deal with this problem.
【1】People are not permitted to hunt wild pigs freely in ________.
A. Texas B. Michigan
C. Missouri D. Louisiana
【2】Why do the game raisers prefer raising wild pigs to deer?
A. It's difficult to raise deer.
B. Wild pigs are in large numbers.
C. Deer are not popular with hunters.
D. They can benefit more from wild pigs.
【3】Which is NOT the reason for the difficulty in controlling wild pigs?
A. The difficulty of passing effective laws.
B. The high percentage of land owned privately.
C. The farmers' unwillingness to shoot wild pigs.
D. The popularity of raising wild pigs in many states.
【4】What is the best title of the text?
A. Why are wild pigs so hard to control?
B. Are wild pigs pests or wild animals?
C. Wild pigs—an increasing danger in the US.
D. How to deal with the problem of wild pigs?
24、According to scientists, a study of more than 50 plants and animals suggests their ability to adapt to changes in rainfall and temperature will be vastly outpaced by future climate change.
Amphibians, reptiles and plants are harmed more easily in particular, according to US researchers. And tropical (热带的) species are at higher risk than those in temperate zones. Some animals might be able to move geographically to deal with rising temperatures, but others live in remote areas where they cannot move, such as in nature reserves or on mountains or islands.
Ecologists analyzed how quickly species had changed their climatic niches (the conditions where they can survive) over time, and how these rates compared with that of global warming. They analyzed populations of plants and animals, including insects, amphibians, birds, mammals and reptiles. Rates of change in climatic niches were much slower than rates of projected climate change, by more than 200,000 fold for temperature on average, they said.
“Overall, our results show that rates of climatic niche change among populations of plants and animals are remarkably slower than projected rates of future climate change,” said Tereza Jezkova and John Wiens, of the University of Arizona.
Mammals might be better placed to survive than amphibians and reptiles, because they had the ability to regulate their own body temperatures, said Dr. Wiens. Besides, while some species might be able to move to higher latitudes (纬度) to survive, “for a lot of organisms, that is not an option.” “It’s a double danger of climate change and habitat destruction,” he added.
【1】What species are likely to suffer most?
A. Mammals in temperate regions.
B. Reptiles in temperate regions.
C. Mammals in tropics.
D. Amphibians in tropics.
【2】What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. Amphibians. B. Mammals.
C. Reptiles. D. Plants.
【3】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Human beings should find some ways to fight against climate change.
B. Many species will be unable to adapt fast enough to survive climate change.
C. Climate change will cause great damage.
D. Climate change is increasingly terrible.
