21、Sending human travelers to Mars would require scientists and engineers to overcome a range of technological and safety obstacles. One of them is the enormous risk posed by particle radiation from the sun, distant stars and galaxies.

Answering two key questions would go a long way toward overcoming that: Would particle radiation pose too serious a threat to human life throughout a round trip to the red planet? And, could the very timing of a mission to Mars help protect astronauts from the radiation?

In a new article published in the journal Space Weather, an international team of space scientists with researchers from UCLA, answers those two questions.

That is, humans should be able to safely travel to and from Mars, provided that the spacecraft has adequate shielding (防护) and the round trip is shorter than approximately four years. And the timing of a human mission to Mars would indeed make a difference: The scientists determined that the best time for a flight to leave Earth would be when solar activity is at its peak, because the most dangerous and energetic particles from distant galaxies are deflected (偏移) during solar maximum.

Imaginably, the average flight to Mars takes about nine months, so it is reasonable that a human mission could reach the planet and return to Earth in less than two years,according to Yuri Shprits, a UCLA research geophysicist and co-author of the paper.:

“This study shows that although space radiation imposes (追使) strict limitations on how heavy the spacecraft can be and the time of launch, and it presents technological difficulties for human missions to Mars, such a mission is viable,” said Shprits, who also is head of space physics and space weather at GFZ Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam,Germany.

【1】What are the two questions about?

A．Getting rid of the technological obstacles.

B．Making astronauts return from Mars safely.

C．Protecting astronauts from particle radiation.

D．Launching the spacecraft to Mars in shielding.

【2】Which decides the time when humans fly to Mars?

A．The distance to stars.

B．The length of the round trip.

C．The size of particles.

D．The degree of solar activity.

【3】What does the underlined word “viable” in Paragraph 6 mean?

A．Challenging.

B．Workable.

C．Rewarding.

D．Affordable.

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

A．Two Questions, a Help to Humans?

B．Particle Radiation, an Obstacle to Mars?

C．Travelling to Mars, an Impossible Mission?

D．A Round Trip to Mars, Technological Advance?

22、Having worked for more than a decade in finance in the oil industry in Canada, Tori Fahey found herself wanting more from life. But it wasn't through desperation that her circumstances changed: “I didn't get fed up and storm off, nothing like that; it was curiosity about other interests and wanting to experience something new.”

Fahey left her job and completed an MBA before setting up a move to New York to begin a degree. However, the opportunity of an open year between the MBA and the degree came up, and as a keen touring cyclist, Fahey realised that a much dreamed-about adventure was now becoming a possibility: "The ride in Africa had been on my fantasy list. It was a moment when I realised that I could do anything, so I should."

Fahey rode across Africa, a 7,500-mile trip that took four months. The whole experience had a life-changing impact. Fahey said: “Bicycles provide a literal freedom. You don't allow yourself to feel like that in everyday life because there are so many distractions. But when you' re out on the bike and there's nothing else, you' re really free to experience what life is.”

Post-degree, Fahey worked on projects with the UNDP(United Nations Development Project) in Montenegro with the aim of bringing investment to rural communities.

It was while working on these projects that the seeds were sown for the next new investment. “It was through my trip across Africa that I discovered pannier and rack systems inconvenient and I was never going to use them again.” Little did she know this would lead her to start up her own company.

In 2013, Apidura was born, producing storage solutions for people looking to travel the world by bike, race across continents and carry all they need to do so. It's now a successful global brand, but Fahey remains reflective about what else the company can do for people.

【1】Why did Fahey leave her job in Canada?

A．She was bored with the job.

B．She was disappointed with life.

C．She wanted to add new dimensions to her life.

D．She found it hard to adjust to the circumstances.

【2】Which can best describe Fahey's ride experience in Africa?

A．Demanding.

B．Liberating.

C．Eventful.

D．Dangerous.

【3】Why did Fahey launch Apidura?

A．To encourage bicycle traveling.

B．To make her investment profitable.

C．To help cyclists carry traveling stuff.

D．To increase the pleasure of riding bikes.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．A tough path to fame.

B．An adventure across Africa.

C．The benefits of green travelling.

D．The story behind the birth of Apidura.

23、   When first entered,Vanak Restaurant does not look like much of a restaurant, but once the pleasant smells of kabob（烤肉串）hit the senses, you are incapable of calling it anything less.

Owned by a local couple, this Persian restaurant has an inviting, homelike atmosphere that many restaurants lack.

The space is small with only a few dining tables and nearly no decoration, but the environment is truly charming.

Lying in a hardly noticeable street corner, the restaurant still attracts all customers, especially those experienced in the delights of Middle Eastern cooking.

A common sight is that of old Persian men sitting in the corner talking loudly about world topics,watching news events on TV, drinking a black tea known as Persian chai, and reading local Persian newspapers all the while trying to finish off their plates piled with food.

The variety of food at the restaurant is limited, but the amount of each dish is fairly large.Most of the meals can serve two people and are under $10, so not only is it affordable but practical as well.

The food especially appeals to health-conscious eaters because each dish is very healthy, made with limited fat and oil and served straight off the grill（烤肉架）.

The main dish that the restaurant is popular for is its kabobs, which are different styles of grilled meat.

One delicious and extremely healthy dish is the Joojeh Kabob, which is made of grilled chicken pieces served with either rice or bread.Another great kabob is the Chelo Kabob, a kabob consisting of grilled beef.

Although the restaurant s small, the atmosphere and the food is delicious. It is a place that should not be overlooked.

【1】When first entering the restaurant, one can find that it ________ .

A. has pleasant smells of kabobs

B. is splendidly decorated

C. is crowded with dining tables

D. looks like a common restaurant

【2】What activity is also mentioned apart from dining in the restaurant?

【5】It can be inferred from the passage that the restaurant

A. occupies a large space

B. owns a favorable location

C. is popular for its special food

D. has a quiet environment inside

24、   There are already computer vision systems and sensor-equipped gloves that can detect a person’s hand gestures. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley have developed an alternative technology, however, that offers some key advantages.

Computer vision systems not only require the users to have their hand clearly visible at all times, but they also raise privacy concerns, particularly if the person's face is visible in the video. Electronic gloves, on the other hand may be clumsy to handle or use and not practical in all situations.

With these limitations in mind, a team of UC Berkeley researchers developed a computer chip-equipped thin-film armband that is wrapped around the user's forearm. That person starts out by performing a number of hand gestures, one at a time. As they do so, electrical sensors in the band detect nerve signals at 64 points within the arm. This data is used to train a custom artificial intelligence-based algorithm(算法) that learns which signal patterns accompany which gestures.

When the user makes one of those gestures later on-or even thinks about doing so-the system is able to determine which one it is, by matching its distinct nerve signal pattern up with one that it’s already learned. It is currently able to recognize 21 different gestures, including a fist, a thumbs-up, a flat hand, holding up individual fingers and counting off numbers.

Importantly, the algorithm automatically updates what it's been taught, so it can compensate for new variables such as sweat on the arm, or the arm being held in an unusual position. Additionally, all of the processing takes place within the chip, so no user data is sent to the cloud.

It is hoped that once developed further, the technology could be utilized in applications such as gesture control of electronic devices, virtual reality, or possibly even the operation of prosthetic(假体的)hands.

【1】What is the disadvantage of the computer vision system?

A．It is difficult to operate.

B．It may let out users’ data.

C．It is not practical to use.

D．It may be expensive to have.

【2】How is the armband working to detect users’ hand gestures?

A．By analyzing nerve signals.

B．By counting off numbers.

C．By tracking users’ habit.

D．By reading arms’ position.

【3】What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A．The system.

B．The nerve signal.

C．The computer.

D．The signal pattern.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Researchers have found some faults on sensor equipment.

B．High-tech armband has replaced traditional sensor systems.

C．High-tech armband detects users’ hand gestures in a better way.

D．Researchers have found more applications for armband sensors.
