21、Before audio (音频) playlists and before tape recorders, there were wax cylinders (蜡筒) — the earliest, mass-produced way people could both listen to commercial music and record themselves. In the 1890s, it was a great breakthrough. People slid blank cylinders onto their Edison Phonographs and recorded what was happening in their life.

Such wax cylinders were kept in the New York Public Library and it’s possible to discover things that haven’t been heard since they were recorded. They haven’t been heard because the wax is so easy to break. The earliest, putty-colored cylinders deteriorate (变坏) after only a few dozen listens if played on the Edison Phonographs; they break if you hold them too long in your hand. And because the wax tubes themselves were unlabeled, many of them remain mysteries.

One of those important collections owned by the library is the “Mapleson Cylinders”, a collection recorded by Lionel Mapleson, the Metropolitan Opera’s librarian at the turn of the last century. Mapleson recorded performances — it’s the only way listeners can hear pre-World War I opera singers with a full orchestra. Bob Kosovsky, a librarian in the audio division of the New York Public Library, said the Mapleson Cylinders “represent the first live recordings in recorded history”.

Californian Nicholas Bergh, invented a machine called Dictabelt, which recently was acquired by the library. Thanks to the combination of its laser and needle, it can digitize even broken wax cylinders — and there are a lot of those.

It will take the library a couple of years to digitize all its cylinders. But when they’re through, listeners all over the country should be able to access them from their home computers, opening a window to what people sounded like and thought about over 100 years ago.

A．He collected cylinders.

B．He served in World War I.

C．He performed in an opera.

D．He worked as a librarian.

【4】What’s the New York Public Library doing about wax cylinders?

A．It’s digitizing them.

B．It’s repairing broken ones.

C．It’s presenting them to the public.

D．It’s trying to invent a cylinder player.

22、   Essentially, everyone has two ages: a chronological(按时间计算的) age, how old the calendar says you are, and a biological age, basically the age at which your body functions as it compares to average fitness or health levels.

“Chronological age isn’t how old we really are. It’s merely a number,” said Professor David Sinclair at Harvard University. “It is biological age that determines our health and ultimately our lifespan(寿命). We all age biologically at different rates according to our genes, what we eat, how much we exercise, and what environment we live in. Biological age is the number of candles we really should be blowing out. In the future, with advances in our ability to control biological age, we may have even fewer candles on our birthday cake than the previous one.”

To calculate biological age, Professor Levine at Yale University identified nine bio-markers that seemed to be the most influential on lifespan by a simple blood test. The numbers of those markers, such as blood sugar and immune measures, can be put into the computer, and the algorithm (算法) does the rest.

Perhaps what’s most important here is that these measures can be changed. Doctors can take this information and help patients make changes to lifestyle, and hopefully take steps to improve their biological conditions. “I think the most exciting thing about this research is that these things aren’t set in stone,” Levine said. “People can be given the information earlier and take steps to improve their health before it’s too late.”

Levine even entered her own numbers into the algorithm. She was surprised by the results. “I always considered myself a very healthy person. I’m physically active; I eat what I consider a fairly healthy diet. But I did not find my results to be as good as I had hoped they would be. It was a wake-up call,” she said.

Levine is working with a group to provide access to the algorithm online so that anyone can calculate their biological age, identify potential risks and take steps to improve their own health in the long run. “No one wants to live an extremely long life with a lot of chronic diseases,” Levine said. “By delaying the development of mental and physical functioning problems, people can still be engaged in society in their senior years. That is the ideal we should be pursuing.”

【1】Biological age depends on __________.

A.what the calendar says about our age

B.when we start to take outdoor exercise

C.whether we can adapt ourselves to the environment

D.how well our body works compared with our peers’

【2】What does the author mean by saying the underlined part in Paragraph 2?

A.We are chronologically older than last year.

B.We might be less happy than the previous year.

C.We don’t have to celebrate our birthday every year.

D.We may be biologically younger than the year before.

【3】What does the author want to tell us by Levine’s example in Paragraph 5?

A.It is necessary to change our diet regularly.

B.The test results may give us wrong information.

C.Waking up early in the morning is good for our fitness.

D.The algorithm can reveal our potential health problems.

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Bio-markers Can Make Us Younger

B.Chronological Age and Biological Age

C.Old People can Still be Engaged in Society

D.Biological Age can Lag behind or Exceed Chronological Age

23、There are lots of nice stories about the protection of nature as humans suspend their activity however, this slowdown is not all good news. New York City, for example, has suspended its organic recycling program. That means thousands of tons of rubbish that would have been recycled last year will find their way to landfills (垃圾填埋地) instead this year.

Like other New Yorkers, I recycled my kitchen waste and other organic materials. When they are broken down, they produce methane (a gas without color or smell), which if let loose can be harmful to the atmosphere. But when controlled in a way, the methane can be put to use as alternative energy. Plus, there is a by-product fertilizer (肥料), which can be sold on the market.

Now those thousands of tons of rubbish will be trucked away to landfills in Ohio and other remote places. It’s definitely a backward step in our fight against climate change. Government leaders may get some inspiration from New York City’s Freshkills Park.

The park is a best-case scenario (设想) for what can happen to mountains of rubbish. It was originally the Freshkills Landfill which received rubbish for more than half a century. In 2001, the landfill was closed. The Freshkills Park, around three times the size of Central Park, will be opened in 2035.

What is under the park is pretty complex, even if it just looks like a grassy hill. There are a few layers, each for different purposes. As for the methane, the park has hundreds of wells to capture the gas, which is enough to power 20,000 homes. Trees are tricky at the park because their roots can’t go that far down. As well, most grasslands only have shallow-rooted grasses so that the staff can easily get access to the wellheads.

The project brings good news to the grasshopper sparrows. These birds are of conservation concern in New York State. Today, the grasshopper sparrows in New York State call this former landfill their home. So do foxes, deer and other animals.

Although it will take over a decade before the park fully opens, it has worked well so far. Besides this project, it’s expected that similarly brilliant plans for the new rubbish will come out soon. Ideally, the organic recycling program gets reenacted (重新制定) in New York City before too long. Otherwise, there are some other similarly brilliant plans for all the new rubbish that will be coming soon.

【1】What can we know about organic materials?

A．They will be replaced by other energy.

B．They are beneficial to the environment.

C．They have great value if handled properly.

D．They can be hardly controlled or recycled.

【2】What is the author’s attitude towards trucking New York City’s rubbish away?

A．Indifferent.

B．Doubtful.

C．Optimistic.

D．Negative.

【3】What can we infer about the Freshkills Park?

A．It has limited water resources.

B．It gives the landfill a new look.

C．It is very similar to Central Park.

D．it turns farmlands into grasslands.

【4】What does the author mainly want to express in the last but one paragraph?

A．Parks are an ideal place for many animals.

B．The project aims to restore animal habitats.

C．New York has a large species of wild animals.

D．The project contributes to wildlife protection.

24、Now scientists in Lausanne, Switzerland have given three paralyzed men the ability to walk again. Each of the three men had damaged their spinal cords (脊髓) in motorcycle accidents and couldn’t move their legs.

To help them walk again, the men had surgery. A paddle shaped device was placed directly on the lower part of their spinal cord, below their injury. This implant (植入物) contained sixteen electrodes—conductors that electricity can pass through. The researchers made sure the electrodes on the implant were lined up with the spinal cord nerves that control the leg muscles (肌肉). To begin with, the scientists controlled the implants from a tablet computer. Just hours after the implants were first used, all three men were taking steps,with support.

In the past, scientists had some success with similar implants in the lower spine. Some patients have even trained themselves over months to be able to walk. This research is different. The patients’ brains aren’t sending “walking” messages to their legs. Instead, the tablet tells the implant to send the walking messages as a set of electrical signals.

The researchers used computers to create patterns of movement—like taking a step—that would work well with each patient. The patient then uses the tablet to choose the pattern they want. That triggers the implant, and the muscles move in the chosen way. Over time, the men were able to walk entirely on their own, using a special walker with buttons to excite each leg. One of the men has walked for half a kilometer on his own with the walker.

The method is very expensive and it requires difficult surgery. The patients can’t walk without the AI system. But it is a vital step to improve people’s quality of life. The scientists hope that in the future they will engineer personalized spinal cord implants to allow many paralyzed people to walk again in just hours.

【1】What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．How spinal cord nerves worked.

B．Why an operation was performed.

C．How the implants let the men walk.

D．Why electrodes were precisely arranged.

【2】How does the author compare the new research with the previous ones?

A．By telling their differences.

B．By stating the study process.

C．By explaining their similarities.

D．By analyzing the study purpose.

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

A．Changes.

B．Activates.

C．Improves.

D．Shakes.

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the method?

A．Objective.

B．Tolerant.

C．Content.

D．Doubtful.

25、Satya Nadella still remembers his interview question from many years ago, “A baby falls, and is crying, what will you do?” “I'll call 911.” Then, he was told to _________ some empathy(同理心). Because he needs to pick the baby up and _________ it first before he calls.

Nadella says that although he did get the job, the _________ he learned from that interview question is core to doing good business.
