21、I have lived in rural America for nine years, first in Michigan, where I got my PhD; then in central Illinois and now in Indiana, where I am a professor. In a place where most people have lived the whole of their lives, I feel like a stranger. There are few things I enjoy more than complaining about my geographic isolation. I’m a vegetarian, so there’s nowhere to go for a nice dinner that isn’t 50 miles away. I’m black, so there’s nowhere to get my hair done that doesn’t involve another 50-mile drive. And the closest major airport is two hours away.

I recite these gripes to my friends. We all have grand ideas about what life would be like if only we did that, or lived there. And there’s this; I really don’t intend to change most of the things I complain about. Griping is seductive on those days when happiness requires too much energy. But it also makes me lose sight of the fact that I was born and grew up in Nebraska and have lived most of my life in one of the plains states. When I go to the coasts, I am struck by how unappealing big-city living can be.

While I may not love where I live, there are plenty of people who are proud to call this place home. At a party with colleagues, I was going on about everything I couldn’t stand in our town when I noticed that they were silent and shifting uncomfortably. That moment forced a change in me. Complaining may offer relief, but so does acceptance. There is no perfect life. By focusing on gripes, I risk missing out on precious moments of appreciation. When I get home, I stand on my balcony, look into the night sky and see the stars. I know that I have absolutely nothing to complain about.

22、In Judgement Day, one of the hit film series Terminator, a cyborg(生化人) played by Schwarzenegger could heal his skin wound magically, that is, he makes the skin repair itself in less than a second. Recently, according to Mirror, a smart electronic skin like it has been developed, which is as strong, stretchy and sensitive as humans’.

Previous attempts to "electronically" copy human skin have fallen short. Making suitably flexible electronics that can perform delicate tasks while also enduring the bumps and scrapes of everyday life is challenging, and each material involved must be carefully engineered. The previous sensor layer was too weak or too strong, reducing its durability, sensitivity or flexibility, which makes it more likely to break.

With the development of 2D sensors and hydrogel(水凝胶), scientists’ efforts paid off, linking sensor layer with skin functionally and durably. Study author Dr Jie Shen said, "Hydrogels are more than 70 percent water, making them very compatible(相容的) with human skin tissues. By prestretching the hydrogel in all directions, applying a layer of nano（纳米）wires, and then carefully controlling its release, we created conductive pathways to the sensor layer that remained complete even when the material was stretched to 28 times its original size. Meanwhile, skin electronics kept changing at a spectacular pace."

This e-skin can sense temperature and touch from up to 8 inches away, react to things in under one tenth of a second and repair itself more than 5,000 times. The new invention could help monitor a range of biological information, including changes in blood pressure. While the first port of call is medical, the e-skin could benefit a wide range of products one day, such as monitoring the structural condition of furniture and planes.

【1】Why is a cyborg in Judgement Day mentioned in Paragraph l?

A．To introduce the topic.

B．To inform the background.

C．To advertise the hit film.

D．To recommend Schwarzenegger.

【2】What made the previous attempts fall short?

A．The delicate tasks.

B．The unsuitable sensor layer.

C．The bumps and scrapes of everyday life.

D．The compatibility with human skin tissues.

【3】What can we infer about the e-skin from the last paragraph?

A．It can sense and react exactly like humans’ skin.

B．It may be used to check the condition of bridges.

C．It can make human beings live as long as they want.

D．It will turn human beings into cyborgs that never die.

【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．Electronic skin has a wide range of applications.

B．Hydrogel contributes to developing electronic skin.

C．Attempts to develop electronic skin have fallen short.

D．Smart electronic skin has been developed by scientists.

23、Every 40 days a language dies. This “catastrophic” loss is being intensified by the climate crisis; according to linguists. If nothing is done, conservative estimates suggest that half of all the 7000 languages currently spoken will be extinct by the end of the century.

Speakers of minority languages have experienced a long history of persecution (迫害) , with the result that by the 1920s half of all indigenous (土著的) languages in Australia, the US, South Africa and Argentina were extinct. The climate crisis is now considered the “final nail in the coffin” for many indigenous languages and the knowledge they represent.

“Languages are already endangered,” says Anastasia Richl, director of the Strathy language unit at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. Huge factors are globalization and migration, as communities move to regions where their language is not spoken or valued, according to Richl. “It seems particularly cruel,” she says, “that most of the world’s languages are in parts of the world that are growing unpleasant to people.” Vanuatu, a South Pacific island nation measuring 12,189km2, has 110 languages, the highest density (密度) of languages on the planet. It is also one of the countries most at risk of sea level rise, she says. “Many small language communities are on islands and coastlines easily subject to hurricanes and sea level rise.” Others live on lands where rising temperature threatens traditional farming and fishing practices, leading to migration.

In response to the crisis, the UN launched the International Decade of Indigenous Languages in 2022. Promoting and conserving languages of indigenous communities is “not only important for them, but for all humanity”, said Csaba Korosi, the UN general assembly president, urging countries to allow access to education in indigenous languages.

【1】What is the writer mainly concerned about?

A．The disappearance of languages.

B．The challenge of climate change.

C．The reaction to the language crisis.

D．The trend of the speedy globalization.

【2】Why is Vanuatu mentioned in paragraph 3?

A．To explain the main reason for language density.

B．To show the common features of endangered languages.

C．To stress the impact of geographical position on migration.

D．To illustrate the situation of minority language communities.

【3】What does the International Decade of Indigenous Languages aim to do?

A．Support migrants to access local education.

B．Discourage people from massive migration.

C．Improve the living conditions of minority groups.

D．Preserve the languages of indigenous communities.

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A．Faced with Disasters: Communities Have to Leave

B．Lost for Words: Rising Seas Bring Threat of Catastrophe

C．Upset at Extinction: UN Urges International Cooperation

D．Involved in Action: Experts Seek Solutions to Climate Crisis
