26、   Kristen Sorensen was 55 when she became paralyzed from the neck down. Diagnosed in October 2018 with a rare disorder that affects the body's nervous system, she never expected to walk again.

But earlier that year, the Brooks Treatment Center in Florida became the first center to use a unique technology developed in Japan --- the Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL). HAL, essentially a wearable machine, helps those with spinal cord (脊髓的)injuries and muscular diseases regain their movements and strengthen their nerves and muscles. Known as exoskeletons, they're a type of lightweight suit, with joints powered by small electric motors, that serve as mechanical muscle. Patients use their brain waves to control them.

When Sorensen heard about the brain wave-controlled exoskeleton, she knew she had to place an order and give it a try. A trained nurse helped her fit HAL over her waist and trousers, connecting her to sensors that help pick up faint bio-electric signals on the surface of the skin, which communicate a patient's intention to move. Once HAL receives these signals, it helps support the person's movements.

After some training and efforts, Sorensen was able to walk at her daughter's wedding a few months later in December. It's a thought that Sorensen shares. "When I used HAL, there were people who came from all over the country to use the equipment," she says. "I would like this kind of technology to be more readily available and more accessible especially to those who learn slowly."

But it's not just those with disabilities or injuries who stand to benefit. By 2050, there will be more than 2 billion people over age 60, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), and exoskeletons could offer a solution to the world's aging population.

In the future, as human bodies wear down with age, an exoskeleton - powered by active minds - could help people stay on their feet. With such huge potential applications available, the global medical exoskeleton market will be worth an estimated $2.8 billion by 2023, according to a research company.

【1】What do we know about Kristen?

A.She had much difficulties in walking.

B.She was paralyzed due to an accident.

C.She volunteered in a science experiment.

D.She never gave up the hope to walk again.

【2】HAL can be used as      .

A.brain wave B.electrical nerve C.mechanical muscle D.spinal cord

【3】What's the right order of how HAL works?

①Persons put on HAL.

②Persons are connected to the sensors.

③HAL helps support the person's motion.

④Persons send out intention to move.

⑤Sensors pick up signals and pass them to HAL.

A.②①④⑤③ B.①②③④⑤ C.②①③④⑤ D.①②④⑤③

【4】We can conclude from the passage that   .

A.HAL can now be used with no difficulty

B.HAL may have a large potential market

C.HAL has been widely used in the world

D.HAL can only help people with disabilities

27、Hacking our senses to boost learning power

Some schools are pumping music, noises and pleasant smells into the classroom to see if it improves exam results. Could it work? Why do songs stick in our heads? What does your school smell like? Is it noisy or peaceful?

It might not seem important, but a growing body of research suggests that smells and sounds can have an impact on learning, performance and creativity. Indeed, some head teachers have recently taken to broadcasting noises and pumping smells into their schools to see whether it can boost grades. Is there anything in it? And if so, what are the implications for the way we work and study?

There is certainly some well-established research to suggest that some noises can have a harmful effect on learning. Numerous studies over the past 15 years have found that children attending schools under the flight paths of large airports fall behind in their exam results. Bridget Shield, a professor of acoustics (声学) at London South Bank University, and Julie Dockrell, from the Institute of Education, have been conducting studies on the effects of all sorts of noises, such as traffic and sirens (汽笛), as well as noise generated by the children themselves. When they recreated those particular sounds in an experimental setting while children completed various learning tasks, they found a significant negative effect on exam scores.

“Everything points to a bad impact of the noise on children’s performance, in numeracy, in literacy, and in spelling,” says Shield. The noise seemed to have an especially harmful effect on children with special needs.

Whether background sounds are beneficial or not seems to depend on what kind of noise it is — and the volume. In a series of studies published last year, Ravi Mehta from the College of Business at Illinois and his colleagues tested people’s creativity while exposed to a soundtrack made up of background noises — such as coffee-shop chatter and construction-site drilling — at different volumes. They found that people were more creative when the background noises were played at a medium level than when volume was low. Loud background noise, however, damaged their creativity.

Many teachers all over the world already play music to students in class. Many are inspired by the belief that hearing music can boost IQ in later tasks, the so-called Mozart effect. While the evidence actually suggests it’s hard to say classical music boosts brainpower, researchers do think pleasant sounds before a task can sometimes lift your mood and help you perform well, says Perham, who has done his own studies on the phenomenon. The key appears to be that you enjoy what you’re hearing. ‘If you like the music or you like the sound — even listening to a Stephen King novel — then you do better. It doesn’t matter about the music,’ he says.

So, it seems that schools that choose to prevent disturbing noises and create positive soundscapes could enhance the learning of their students, so long as they make careful choices. Yet this isn’t the only sense being used to affect learning. Special educational needs students at Sydenham high school in London are being encouraged to revise different subjects in the presence of different smells — grapefruit scents for maths, lavender for French and spearmint for history.

【1】The four questions in the first paragraph are meant to ________.

A.create some sense of humour to please the readers

B.provide the most frequently asked questions in schools nowadays

C.hold the readers’ attention and arouse their curiosity to go on reading

D.declare the purpose of the article: to try to offer key to those questions

【2】What does the conclusion of the studies of noise conducted by Bridget Shield and Julie Dockrell suggest?

A.Peaceful music plays an active role in students’ learning.

B.Not all noises have a negative impact on children’s performance.

C.We should create for school children a more peaceful environment.

D.Children with special needs might be exposed to some particular sounds.

【3】Ravi Mehta’s experiment indicates that ________.

A.students’ creativity improves in a quiet environment

B.we may play some Mozart music while students are learning

C.a proper volume of background noises does improve creativity

D.noise of coffee-shop chatter is better than that of construction-site drilling

【4】Towards the positive impact of appropriate background sound and smell on students’ learning and creativity, the author’s attitude is ________.

A.ambiguous B.doubtful

C.negative D.supportive

【5】Which of the following is most likely to follow up the research findings?

A.Experts’ research into other senses that can improve students’ grades.

B.More successful examples of boosting learning power by using music.

C.Suggestions for pumping lots of pleasant smells into school campuses.

D.Debates on whether noises can really have positive effect on students’ performance.

28、   Some losers become winners, while others stay as losers. When people fail, they don’t become losers instantly. They become losers as soon as they start to victimize themselves.【1】 For example, they often tell themselves and others things like “If I were young, I’d have got this”, or “If they’d given me more opportunities, things would have been different”. But if they’re honest, they’ll admit that these are the things they say to justify (证明……有理) their failures. Failure is failure. Actually, the reason why they failed was that they failed to use the failure as a way of learning and improving themselves.

It’s natural for you to think back to past failures and use them as evidence that you’ll never succeed. 【2】 Keep your dream alive and do all you can to get there. There will always be roadlocks, but the key is to overcome the problems. Don’t complain, and don’t buy into your limiting beliefs. 【3】 Namely, think of it as a chance life gives you to help you realize something.

【4】 For example, realize that each journey to success will always have its ups and downs. When the downs occur, step back and keep your eye on the bigger picture because those downs are usually followed by wonderful ups. 【5】 If you want to move on from your down times, don’t make giving up an option. No matter how much you feel you’re struggling, these are the moments that present the necessary learning curve(曲线) you need to achieve your dream.

A.Avoid drowning in the negativity that failure can bring.

B.They look for excuses for something negative in their abilities.

C.Also you must realize that no one really cares about your failures.

D.Instead, use each bump in the road as a chance to learn something.

E.However, this only reduces your chances of achieving your dreams.

F.Determination, learning and improving is the real recipe for success.

G.If you want to succeed after failures, start to think like a successful person.

29、Recently, researchers at the University of Toronto figured out a way with a quick video selfie to accurately measure blood pressure with your smartphone’s camera by developing a technology known as transdermal optical imaging (TOI)(透皮光学成像).

Cameras on smartphones can catch red light reflected from hemoglobin (血红素）under our skin, which permits TOI to visualize and measure blood flow changes. Researchers measured the blood pressure of 1,328 Canadian and Chinese adults by getting two-minute videos of their faces on an iPhone. “From the video got by the technology, you can see how the blood flows in different parts of the face and through this flow, you can get a lot of information,” said Kang Lee, lead author of the study.

Lee also helped create an app called Anura, which allows people to try out the TOI software for themselves, giving them the ability to record a 30-second video of their face and receive measurements for stress levels and resting heart rate. Lee said more research was needed to make sure that the measurements were as accurate as possible, explaining that the study didn’t test people with very dark or very fair skin.

“In order to improve our app to make it usable, particularly for people with hypertension (高血压)，we need to collect a lot of data from them, which is very hard because a lot of them are already taking medicine,” Lee explained. “We cannot tell them not to take medicine, but from time to time, we get participants who don’t take medicine so we can get hypertensive people this way.”

The scientists said there were many potential applications of the technology, including providing health services for those who lived in remote areas.

【1】What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2？

A．Information offered by TOI.

B．New findings on hypertension.

C．How TOI is put into smart phones.

D．How the TOI technology works.

【2】What might people benefit from the new technology mentioned above?

A．Living a life free from stress.

B．Improving the heart function gradually.

C．Accessing health services for free.

D．Knowing abnormal blood pressure earlier.

【3】What can be done for a better Anura?

A．Equipping phones with better cameras.

B．Allowing phones to record longer videos.

C．Collecting data from more diverse samples.

D．Persuading participants not to take medicine.

【4】Why does the author write this text?

A．To predict future applications of TOI.

B．To introduce TOI and an app related.

C．To describe functions of cameras on phones.

D．To evaluate the quality of an app called Anura.

My daughter

(A story told by a father, a famous actor)

My wife and I only had the one child. We had Amy.

I see her as my best friend. I think she’d always come to me first if she had a problem. We have the same sense of humor, and share interests. 【1】 I don’t mind animals, she’s completely fascinated with them, and she has always had dogs, cats, horses, and goldfish in her life.

We were 【2】 (close) when she was about four, which I think is a lovely age for a child. They know the parents best, and don’t have outside contacts. She must have grown up suddenly when she went to school, because I remember her growing away from her family slightly. Any father who has a teenager daughter comes across an extraordinary collection of people, and there seemed to be an endless stream of strange young men 【3】 (come) through our house. By the time I learned their names they 【4】 (go) away and I had to start learning a new lot.

I wanted more than anything else for her to be happy in 【5】 she was doing, and I was prepared to pull strings to help her on her way. When she left a good school she decided she wanted to become an actress so I got her into drama school. It wasn’t to her liking so she joined a theatre group and began doing bits and pieces in films. She was doing well, but then gave it up. She probably found it boring. Then she took up social work, and finally went to work 【6】a designer and he became her husband. And that’s really the story of her life. She must be happy with him—they’re always together.

We have such similar tastes in books and music 【7】 I used to take her to see an opera, which is my big passion. However, I don’t think she likes it very much. She doesn’t come with me anymore.

I don’t think she’s a big television watcher. She knows when I’m on the television, and she 【8】 watch, but I don’t know. It’s not the kind of thing she tells me.

We’re very grateful for Amy. She’s a good daughter as daughters go. We’re looking forward to being grandparents.

The subjects didn’t dream about roses【3】eggs, but rather he found that what they smelt affected the emotions of【4】(they) dreams.

A UK study reveals that people exposed【6】black-and-white film and TV in their youth are to have monochromic(单色的)dreams throughout their life more【7】(probable). Eva Murzyn from the University of Dundee tested two age groups— one half 【8】(age) over 55 and【9】other half under 25.

The result? Under 5% of the dreams of the under-25s were in black and white. 【10】(watch)color TV in childhood seems to be the reason why.

37、根据句意填空

In the USA, the Amish-a Christian group-are famous because they drive 【1】 instead of cars, do not use TVs or refrigerators, and do not have personal telephones.

In truth, whenever a new technology is introduced, the Amish meet and discuss its advantages and disadvantages. They then vote on whether they will accept it. The Amish 【3】 cars because they like having 【4】 communities where everyone lives close together. They have no TVs or refrigerators because their homes do not have electricity-they do not think it is necessary and 【5】 dealing with strangers, such as the people who work at the electric company.
