21、Likely to suffer from loss of memory from time to time? Smart cameras can now remind you.

Khai Truong at the University of Toronto in Canada and his colleagues have created a smartphone app that records interactions with household objects. The system involves a barcode-like markers that the user sticks to objects whose use they would like to track.

With the smartphone worn around your neck, the app automatically records a short video clip when a marked object comes into view. “The user is able to look through the application and see the last time they interacted with it.” says Truong. The app can help people track the state of objects — such as whether they locked a door or switched a light off — as well as routine actions. At present it successfully records about 75% of interactions, but only works for fixed objects.

A similar but separate system can solve the problem. E. Akin Sisbot and Jonathan Connell at IBM Research in New York have invented a ceiling-mounted (安装在天花板上的) camera that monitors objects and people. It continuously watches an area such as a tabletop in your home, tracking the placement of objects in relation to one another. It also remembers who first brought an object into the field of view as well as anyone moved it for afterwards. When asked, “Where is my wallet?” the system might respond, “It is next to the vase, under the magazines.”

The camera could also be used in factories or operating theatres to track a vital tools, says Sisbot. For now, the camera uses a deep sensor to spot things. It is limited to detecting objects thicker than 3 centimeters, meaning that it has trouble with thin objects such as a closed laptop placed flat on a table.

The accuracy of such smart camera systems may need to improve before they are widely adopted. “You’ve got to trust the technology for it to be of any comfort or reassurance.” says Geoffrey Ward at the University of Essex in UK.

【1】How does the smartphone app mentioned in Paragraph 2 work?

A．By switching of electricity automatically.

B．By scanning barcodes of household objects.

C．By recording the movement of marked objects.

D．By informing owners of potential dangers.

A．It is unlikely to make a sound.

B．It is unable to recognize movable objects.

C．It fails to find objects thinner than 3 centimeters.

D．It hardly senses objects without barcode-like markers.

【4】What is Geoffrey Ward’s attitude towards smart camera systems?

A．Neutral.

B．Supportive.

C．Skeptical.

D．Opposed.

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

A．New smartphones make life easier

B．Camera designers face new challenges

22、Alarming levels of dangerous chemicals known as Perfluorinated Alkylated Substances (PFAS) were discovered in food packaging at a number of well-known fast-food restaurants and grocery store chains, a new report found. The report comes more than two years into the Covid-19 pandemic, when the public has relied heavily on takeout and grocery deliveries.

Often called “forever chemicals” because they do not break down in the environment, PFAS are used in food packaging to prevent grease (油脂) and water from soaking through food wrappers and cups. PFAS can also be found in the ink used to print logos and instructions on food containers.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls exposure to PFAS a “public health concern”, citing that the human-made chemicals can harm the immune system and reduce a person’s resistance to infectious diseases.

Regulatory limits for how much PFAS food packaging should contain can vary greatly. For instance, a new law in California set the limit at less than 100 ppm. “Compared to America, Denmark sets a much lower regulatory limit of 20 ppm with great success,” said Xenia Trier, an expert at the European Environment Agency. “It does work to set limits and enforce them. PFAS do migrate from the paper into the food. Even though it was not 100%, we still saw considerable transmission. In general, transmission from packaging to food is increased as the temperature of the food rises. It is the same with the time spent in wrapping materials.” Trier told NBS, one of the major American mass-media companies.

In response to the issue, Whole Foods became the first grocery chain to publicly commit to remove PFAS from takeout containers and bakery paper. Many other companies followed suit. Experts say people who want to avoid PFAS in their takeout and food delivery packaging should favor companies that have promised to remove the chemicals. “As soon as you receive your takeout, you’d better take food out of the container immediately, and never reheat food in its original container. Instead, remove your food and heat it in ceramic (陶瓷的) or glass containers.” Trier said.

【1】What can we learn about PFAS in food packaging?

A．They have been used for two years.

B．They do little harm to consumers’ health.

C．They are used to break down the chemicals.

D．They can make wrappers resistant to grease and water.

【2】What is Xenia Trier’s attitude to setting a lower limit of PFAS?

A．Favorable.

B．Neutral.

C．Ambiguous.

D．Opposed.

【3】What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 4?

A．Considerable migration of grease and water.

B．PFAS transmission from packaging to food.

C．Wrapper exposure to high food temperature.

D．Regulatory limits concerning food packaging.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A．Food packaging contains dangerous chemicals.

B．Consumers are recommended to have PFAS-free products.

C．PFAS found in food packaging has become a great concern.

D．The government has taken measures to reduce PFAS exposure.

23、Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?

UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.

Nitrogen（氮） and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi（真菌）networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons（神经元）in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.

Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.

“We didn't take any notice of it.” Simard says sadly . “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them a chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.

【1】What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Old Trees Communicate Like Humans

B. Young Trees Are In Need Of Protection

C. Trees Are More Complex Than You Think

D. Trees Contribute To Our Society

【2】In Simard's opinion, trees _______ .

A. depend on each other

B. protect their own wealth

C. compete for survival

D. provide support for dying trees

【3】We can learn from the passage that

A. “mother trees” are usually of no use to other trees.

B. Charles Darwin had the same thought as Simard.

C. people know much about the complex “tree societies”.

D. if “mother trees” are cut down, the survival for the entire forest will be affected.

【4】The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .

A. how trees grow old

B. how “tree societies” work

C. how forestry industry develops

D. how young trees survive

24、Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed in doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction.

Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others leave one for another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation.

Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational (职业的) guidance in our educational institution. Nearly allfeel their way in the dark. Their chief concern when they lookfor a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother tothink whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them. Having a job is more thanmerely providing yourself and your dependants (受赡养者)with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment.It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.

In choosing a profession you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest. Nothing is more sad than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only ruin your talents but also discourage your desire to succeed in life.

【1】Few school leavers have plans for the long term when finding jobs because ________.

A. they are lowly paid

B. they are not well trained

C. it is difficult to get employed

D. they don't know what they are interested in

【2】According to the passage, the difficulty in choosing a suitable job mainly lies in that ________.

A. much competition has to be faced

B. many employees have no working experience

C.  the young people only care about how much they can earn

D. schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance

【3】In the writer's opinion, which of the following statements is most important?

A. Your job must suit your interest.

B. Your job must set a pattern of life.

C. Your job must offer you a high salary.

D. Your job must not ruin your talents.

25、   As a young man, Al was a skilled artist, a potter. He had a wife and two fine sons. One night, his oldest son developed a severe stomachache. Thinking it was only some ________ intestinal (肠内的) disorder, neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously. But it was actually acute appendicitis (急性阑尾炎), and the boy ________ suddenly that night.

Knowing the death could have been ________ if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation, Al’s emotional health deteriorated under the huge burden of his ________. To make matters worse, his wife ________ him a short time later, leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son. The hurt and pain of the two ________ were more than Al could handle, and he ________ to alcohol to help him cope, thus in time Al became an alcoholic.

________ the alcoholism progressed, Al began to lose everything he ________—his home, his land and his art objects. Al ________ died alone in a San Francisco motel room.

When I heard of Al’s death, I reacted with the same disdain the world shows for one who ends his life with nothing to show for it. “What a complete ________ he is!” I thought. “What a totally wasted life!”

As time went by, I began to re-evaluate my earlier judgment. I knew Al’s now ________ son, Ernie. He is one of the kindest, most caring, most loving men I have ever known. I watched Ernie with his children and saw the free ________ of love between them. I knew that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere.

I hadn’t heard Ernie talk much about his ________. One day I worked ________ my courage to ask him. “I’m really ________ by something,” I said. “I know your father was ________ the only one to raise you. What on earth did he do to make you become such a special person?”

Ernie sat quietly and ________ for a few moments. Then he said, “From my earliest ________ as a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, ‘I love you, son’.”

Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to judge Al as a failure. He had not left any ________ possessions behind. But he had been a kind loving father, and he left behind one of the finest, most giving men I have ever known. (423words)
