21、 Yoga originated in ancient India some 5,000 years ago. It has since spread across the world to many cultures. In the last few years, yoga has been offering classes aiming at the hearing impaired(听障者).
Most yoga classes are based on a model in which students learn by listening to their teacher's statements. As many yoga positions limit the ability to see the teacher, hearing-impaired participants who rely on lipreading (唇读) or sign language are left on their own during a class.
Recognizing the hearing -impaired are eager to attend yoga classes, one British yoga studio determined to fill the lack. Bethaney Mouzer, a yoga instructor launched Sign Yoga in 2019, with the goal of bringing yoga to people for whom the practice may have previously been forbidden.
Mouzer, who was born to non-hearing parents, is used to existing two worlds. After becoming a yoga teacher in 2015, she fielded requests from many people who were interested in yoga, but struggled to find teachers to accommodate their needs.
At first Mouzer started out small, holding single-day workshops at local studios in Birmingham and Worcester, where she signed continuously throughout the classes. The sessions were an immediate hit, and Mouzer began posting classes online via a Facebook page called Sign Yoga. Finally, once there was enough demand, Mouzer also started teaching in London.
Today, Sign Yoga is a mostly online company, with live Zoom classes and pre - recorded lessons accessible to students, as well as occasional in-person classes held in local parks. Mouzer ran a Deaf Accessible Yoga Teacher Training workshop in May.
【1】How are most yoga classes carried out?
A.By following teachers' instructions.
B.By adjusting yoga positions frequently.
C.By encouraging students to participate.
D.By ignoring the needs of disabled learners.
【2】Why did Bethaney Mouzer create Sign Yoga?
A.To satisfy the needs of sign language.
B.To make a fortune by teaching Yoga.
C.To compensate for her suffering while learning Yoga.
D.To make Yoga accessible to the hearing-impaired.
【3】What does the underlined word “fielded” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Refused.
B.Answered.
C.Presented.
D.Repeated.
【4】Which word can best describe Mouzer according to the last two paragraphs?
A.Kind.
B.Romantic.
C.Grateful.
D.Good-tempered.
22、A cheap printed sensor(传感器) could transmit wildfire warnings. Wildfires have recently destroyed the forests across the world, and their gravity is increasing. Hoping to reduce harm, researchers led by Yapei Wang, a Chinese chemist of Renmin University, say they have developed an inexpensive sensor to detect(监测) such fires earlier with less effort.
Current detection methods rely heavily on human watchfulness, which can delay an effective response. Most wildfires are reported by the general public, and other alarms come from routine foot patrols and watchtower observers. Passing planes and satellites also occasionally spot something, but "the fire first appears on the ground," Wang says. "When you see the fire from the sky, it is too late."
The team says its new sensor can be placed near tree trunks' bases and send a wireless signal to a nearby receiver if there is a quick temperature increase. That heat also powers the sensor itself, without replacing batteries. The team printed the substances onto ordinary paper to create a sensor for just $ 0.40.
But improving coordination among the different companies involved in firefighting is even more important to deal with, says Graham Kent, an earthquake expert at the University of Nevada, Reno, who was not part of the study. Kent is director of ALERT Wildfire, a network that uses cameras and crowd sourcing to watch for fires in California, Nevada and Oregon. "The whole way that you respond to a fire until it's put out is like a ballet," he says. "You'd have to choreograph(设计)it just so, with resources accurately used at the right time and place and in the right order from detection to confirmation to assignment to extinguishment(熄灭). Fire detection is just step one."
Wang says his team's next steps are to extend the device's signal range beyond the current 100 meters, which can limit practical use, and to develop a protective shield(防护罩) for it. The transmitter's effectiveness, he notes, will also need to be examined in the field ahead.
【1】What does the underlined word "gravity" in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Pull.
B.Extinction.
C.Popularity.
D.Seriousness.
【2】What do we know about the sensor?
A.Its price remains high.
B.Its batteries are replaceable.
C.It can detect fires earlier and easier.
D.It can reduce firefighters' pain.
【3】What does Kent mean in paragraph 4?
A.Firefighting is easy but crucial.
B.Fire detection resources are rich.
C.Putting out a fire is an orderly activity.
D.Technology is the key to extinguishing a fire.
【4】What's the plan for the new sensor according to Wang?
A.Improving and testing it.
B.Limiting its use and transmission.
C.Examing and reducing its signal range.
D.Getting it on the market ahead of time.
23、My folks bought their first house in the early 1940s after Dad got a better job in Marquette, Michigan. We lived just inside the city limits in what was still a rural area.
In the spring of 1948, when I was 6 years old, my parents bought a calf(小牛)to replace our cow, which had been killed the year before. So one day we drove to a local farm and returned with a white and brown calf we named Tubby.
We didn’t own a truck, so Tubby rode home in the backseat of Dad’s car with my 9-year-old brother, Steve, and me. As you can imagine, the trip was a lot of fun for us kids.
Later that summer, Mom thought it would be cute to take a picture of me sitting on Tubby’s back. All went well until the snap of the camera shutter sent Tubby charging off on a run, with me holding on for dear life.
I lasted for about 30 feet before I hit the ground. Mom was quick enough to shoot a follow-up picture, so we had photos of me both on and off Tubby!
When summer had passed, the day arrived for poor Tubby to fill our freezer. I must have been somewhere else with my Mom on the fateful day, because I have no memory of how it happened. All I knew was that the barn was empty, and that we had plenty of meat for dinners.
I hadn’t lived on a farm like my mother, so I didn’t understand that what happened to Tubby was not unusual. Livestock aren’t meant to be pets, and most farm kids know and accept that truth.
Whenever we had beef for dinner, I would tearfully, “Is this Tubby?” This went on for a couple of weeks until Dad had finally had enough and declared, “No more cows!” That made me feel a little better about poor Tubby.
【1】The writer’s parents bought Tubby so that ____.
A. the family would have enough meat to eat
B. It would provide their children with milk.
C. they would have more cows in the future
D. they would no longer feel lonely on the farm.
【2】Which word can be used to describe the author’s mom?
A. Serious. B. Strong-willed.
C. Careless. D. Quick-minded.
【3】We learn from the passage that _____.
A. Steve was not so fond of Tubby as his younger brother.
B. the author’s mom thought it natural to kill a cow for meat.
C. the author had much trouble with Tubby in the summer.
D. the author was pleased to see their freezer filled with beef.
【4】We can most probably read the text above in a website on ____.
A. pets B. education
C. diet D. animals
24、Deciding to get her money's worth out of the wedding dress on which she spent over $1,000, an Australian woman has been wearing her wedding dress, a year after her wedding.
43-year-old Tammy Hall adopted a new lifestyle-anti-consumerism (反消费主义) lifestyle in 2016, after a trip to India opened her eyes to how much we as a society consumed. She decided not to buy any new clothes or footwear for a whole year after she returned home to Adelaide, in Southern Australia, and she managed to make it.
But last year, as her wedding day approached, she faced a dilemma. She wanted to look good on the most important day of her life, but how could she spend a small fortune on the wedding dress she would only wear on that day?
"In the end I decided that if I was going to get a wedding dress, I'd make sure I could get my money's worth," Hall tells PA Real Life.
"The first time I wore it after the wedding was to vote in the Australian election in early 2019," the 43-year-old adds. "Since then, it's been to all sorts of places. Wearing it on a crowded train was especially funny, but I've worn it to do housework, to football games and to the gym."
Hall says that she has gotten some strange looks from people, but no irritating comments. It may have something to do with the fact that the dress is not the fanciest, but she believes people are just too reserved to say anything. Anyway, she doesn't really care, because she knows she has to hit the goal she has set and wearing the dress multiple times is the most reasonable way she could think of to make the most of her wedding dress.
Hall now plans to wear her wedding dress on a trip to Iceland that she and her partner will take next summer.
【1】Why did Tammy Hall adopt a new lifestyle?
A.To adapt herself to Indian life.
B.To cut down her consumption.
C.To save money for her next trip.
D.To get prepared for her wedding.
【2】What did Tammy Hall do to get her money's worth out of her wedding dress?
A.She brought fun to people with it.
B.She tried to wear it to earn money.
C.She wore it repeatedly in daily life.
D.She got it exchanged again and again.
【3】Which of the following best explains the word "irritating" underlined in paragraph 6?
A.Thrilling.
B.Annoying.
C.Amusing.
D.Confusing.
【4】What can we infer about Tammy Hall?
A.She is determined to turn her ideas into practice.
B.She values her wedding dress less than her trips.
C.She has been struggling to make the ends meet.
D.She has influenced people's lifestyle widely.
