21、 You’re walking through a museum when a piece of art seems to call out to you. You walk over and move as close as you can. Why is it so attractive to just reach out and touch it?
Professor Fiona Candlin at Birkbeck College has been asking this question for over 20 years. Candlin was working at a museum in Liverpool in the early 2000s when the U.K.’s Disability Discrimination Act first passed. Thanks to the new law, museums were starting to make exhibits more accessible to people having trouble seeing. But Candlin says, “I thought a lot of the stuff they put on made little sense. They didn’t begin to think about how we might understand things through touching them.”
Most museum-going is a primarily visual experience. Exhibits are generally “on view” or “on display”, and visitors learn about historic and artistic objects from reading programs and explanations. But this was not always the case. Before museums appeared, there were curiosity cabinets (陈列柜). “When people visited them”, Candlin says, “they would handle things and talk about them.”
But as museums grew, this became unsustainable. “When you’ve got four million visitors a year, you can hardly have everybody touching something,” says Candlin. People have dirty hands and love wearing rings and watches, which mayharm the delicate objects. Therefore, most museums tend to advertise themselves as hands-off, except in controlled situations and locations.
And yet, we’re all doing it anyway. Ultimately, the question may be why we are so unwilling to keep our hands to ourselves. Candlin’s interviewees had various excuses. Some claimed they wanted to ensure the artworks were real. Others figured the lack of glass cases meant everything was fair game. But Candlin thinks there’s a larger truth. “I think you can’t really learn about things unless you handle them. Touching changes how you experience an object.”
【1】How did Candlin feel about the museums’ new effort?
A.Doubtful.
B.Dissatisfied.
C.Surprised.
D.Anxious.
【2】Which statement may Candlin agree with?
A.Museums should set up curiosity cabinets.
B.Museums should limit the number of visitors.
C.Touching betters your understanding of artworks.
D.Touching artworks in unlocked glass cases is OK.
【3】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 imply?
A.The practice of openness fails to continue.
B.Curiosity cabinets have been totally removed.
C.Not all museum exhibits are accessible to people.
D.It’s harder to protect the delicate museum collections.
【4】Which column is the article most probably taken from?
A.Business.
B.Entertainment.
C.Education.
D.Lifestyle.
22、Gleaning (拾穗,拾遗) is not a new concept. It dates back to ancient times, when farmers would leave the edges of their fields unharvested or leave produce looking imperfect for the poor which was either to rot in the field, or was rolled over.
Gleaning offers fresh, healthy food to food insecure people. That is where gleaners come in. Gleaning addresses farm waste and food poverty by providing free healthy food donated straight from farm to table. Interest in gleaning is growing; in 2017,there were five gleaning groups in the UK, while today there are 25.
Holly Whitelaw, an organizer for the Cornwall Gleaning Network, reported to Positive.News that her volunteers send around 300 boxes a week to food banks and community kitchens in her area. The boxes come complete with recipe (食谱) ideas and the kitchens love the fact that this fresh food is so highly nutritious.
Gleaners find the work very fulfilling. “It’s a really jolly atmosphere,” Whitelaw told Positive. News.”Any time I go gleaning, I am lifted up. For the volunteers, it’s so good for mental health, getting outside and doing something practical that’s good for the needy people.”
Adding technology to this age-old practice, a digital map of the 734 fruit trees available for gleaning was provided. This produce is going to the Orcas Island Food Bank which has witnessed a 227 percent increase in demand since the pandemic (疫情), with numbers still on the rise.
To assist the increasing amount of hungry people, produce is being rescued from fields around the world. A prime example of a successful organization is Leket Israel. In 2021, Leket rescued 40,758,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables from farmers’ fields and packing houses.
Hopes are that awareness will continue to grow. To make this happen, more unions need to be established with farmers and more people need to volunteer their time to help. This form of helping may soon become as commonplace as local charity walks, predicts Positive.News.
【1】How does the author introduce the topic?
A.By telling a story.
B.By giving a definition.
C.By raising a question.
D.By making a comparison.
【2】What can we infer from what Holly Whitelaw said?
A.The highly nutritious food is good for mental health.
B.He fulfilled his dream of building a gleaning network.
C.New recipes create a happy atmosphere in the kitchen.
D.Gleaning offers benefits to both givers and receivers.
【3】Why are the examples of Orcas Island Food Bank and Leket Israel mentioned?
A.To show the growing success of gleaning.
B.To praise the help of a new technology.
C.To stress the problem of food wasting.
D.To tell the number of hungry people.
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards food gleaning?
A.Optimistic.
B.Doubtful.
C.Negative.
D.Unclear.

24、Directions:Complete the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentences can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
What do Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Dijokovic and Andy Murray have in common? Sure, they’re all tennis champions but each has also struggled with serious injury.
Future stars of the sport may soon get help from a technology used in Hollywood—motion capture technology. 【1】 According to scientists from Britain’s Coventry University, it is now being used to help tennis players avoid injury.
The researchers use a new type of motion capture technology sensor and their own software. 【2】 The resulting data can help players avoid injury and, more importantly, it can help improve training.
Players wear a special suit containing 17 sensors. The sensors can capture detailed data and transmit it to a computer. The information is used to create a 3D moving figure of the player. Their bones, joints and muscles, as well as the movement of the ball and racquet can all be seen on the screen.
【3】 It can record far more detail than the naked eye can pick up. The programme can also analyze the data. It gives coaches and doctors a wide range of information about the player. For example, the speed of the racquet, the weight placed on muscles and joints, and the movement the player goes through as they hit a ball.
With this information, coaches get a far greater understanding of what goes on inside the player’s body. They can know how the game affects the players’s body and how their movement impacts on their game. 【4】 They can also record how the changes affect their game, as well as show them how to avoid injury.
The motion capture technology also enables the coaches to quantitatively compare the movement of different players, so that players can learn from others. Players can also store a record of their action in the event of(倘若发生)injury or a decline in performance.
The team has already started using the equipment with coaches at Edgbaston Priory Tennis Club in Birmingham.
A. Thirteen-year-old player Joe Hart didn’t notice them while playing.
B. Thus, they can encourage the player to make adjustments in specific areas.
C. This technology has been commonly used in Hollywood movies to add special effects to moving characters.
D. That technology might particularly have benefited Andy Murray.
E. The unique combination gives all round 3D detail for the first time about how players play tennis.
F. The process is all done through BoB, a computer program developed by the university.

In Brazil, ______, almost anything seems open to discussion. "Brazilians talk about all kinds of personal issues," says Mark Quinlan, who grew up in Brazil. But of course, even Brazil has its own taboos. In Brazil, soccer is the one topic that can turn friends into enemies. Brazilians love the sport. Saying anything ______ about soccer can cause big trouble. Even expressing preference for one team over another can be ______.
Like Brazilians, Australians talk freely about almost anything. However, they do not talk about their personal or business ______. They prefer to let people judge them by their actions, not their words. Boasting your achievements will only make you the ______ of other people's jokes.
