22、Blind people have long desired for brightness, but scientists don’t have the technology. To bring that one step closer to reality, Zhiyong Fan, a materials scientist of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, developed a new artificial eye recently. The device, which is about as sensitive to light and has sharper vision and a faster reaction time than a real eyeball, may outperform human eyes.
The human eye owes its wide field of view and clear eyesight to the retina (视网膜) — an area at the back of the eyeball covered in light-detecting cells. The design for a new artificial eye is based on the structure of the human eye and uses a friendly light-sensitive material. At the back of the eyeball, an artificial retina is lined with nanoscale light sensors (纳米级光感器). Those sensors measure light that passes through the lens (晶状体) at the front of the eye. Wires attached to the back of the retina send signals from those sensors to the processor, similar to the way nerve networks connect the eyeball to the brain.
“In the future, we can use this to replace damaged human eyes,” says the lead designer. In theory, this artificial eye could see more clearly than the human eye, because the artificial retina contains about 460 million light sensors per square centimeter while a real retina has about 10 million light-detecting cells per square centimeter. Besides, the artificial eyeball records changes in lighting faster than human eyes can — within about 30 to 40 milliseconds, rather than 40 to 150 milliseconds. Although its 100-degree field of view isn’t as broad as the 150 degrees a human eye can take in, the device can see as well as the human eye in poor light.
Hongrui Jiang, an electrical engineer at the University of Wisconsin, though, thinks engineers need a much more practical and efficient way to produce vast series of tiny wires on the back of the artificial eyeball to give it superhuman sight, which is super hard to achieve.
【1】Why does Zhiyong Fan develop the artificial eye?
A．To replace people’s real eyeballs.
B．To gain a sharper vision.
C．To help the blind regain their eyesight.
D．To help normal eyes perform better.
【2】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．The design of the artificial eye.
B．The structure of the human eye.
C．The advantages of the artificial eye.
D．The material used for the artificial eye.
【3】What can we learn about the artificial eye and the human eye?
A．They have the same structure.
B．The artificial eye may see more clearly.
C．The human eye sees better in weak light.
D．The artificial eye takes in a broader view.
【4】Which word best describes Hongrui Jiang’s attitude to the artificial eye?
A．Doubtful.
B．Favorable.
C．Objective.
D．Optimistic.
23、We all know it isn't healthy to stay up late but many people still cannot get enough sleep, especially the young. Over 60 percent of Chinese youths aged 6 to 17 sleep less than eight hours a day, according to a report showed by the Chinese Sleep Research Society (CSRS) on March 17. Among 13- to 17-year-olds, the figure is more than 81 percent.
The study covered nearly 70,000 children and tens aged 6 to 17 across the Chinese mainland，Hong Kong，Macao and Taiwan. According to the study，too much homework is a major cause for a lack of sleep among young people. Another major cause is the frequent use of electronic devices(设备)，such as phones.
Primary school student Li Li said she goes to bed each day around midnight after finishing her homework and playing mobile games for a few hours.
Lack (缺乏)of sleep among children and teenagers has raised concern. “It can lead to weakened immunity(免疫力) ，and memory，and can also influence physical growth, ”Wang Zan, a member of the CSRS, told People’s Daily.
To reduce students’ homework, the Ministry of Education suggested that junior high students should spend no more than 90 minutes on homework and senior high students must do their homework in a proper time limit.
【1】______ of 13-to 17-year-olds could sleep less than eight hours a day.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Located halfway up the Italy’s Apennine Mountain，about 1 00 miles northeast of Rome，the Hotel Rigopiano has never been easy to reach. But its isolation(隔绝)only adds to its appeal，attracting a great number of tourists.
Snow began to fall across the Apennines in January and lasted for days. From his home in the Rome suburbs，Matrone watched the weather with concern. He and his wife，Cicioni，had planned an overnight getaway to the hotel. But now he wondered whether they should go. After phoning the hotel，they decided to make the trip. By the time they neared the hotel six hours later，they were battling a snowstorm. When they finally arrived，they were both cold and exhausted. They checked into their room and went to bed early.
As they awoke the next day，they discovered that their difficulty had worsened overnight. The cars in the parking lot were invisible. The phone and power lines were down. They were having breakfast when the hotel began to shake. An earthquake with a magnitude(震级)of 5. 7 had struck the mountain. “Get out of here!”Matrone shouted to his wife. They headed quickly to the parking lot，where others were digging their cars. Fifteen minutes after the first earthquake，another quake hit，this one measuring 5. 6.
With a dozen vehicles freed by noon，the guests set off down the driveway. But when they reached the main road，the path was blocked by a six-foot-high wall of snow. Matrone climbed out of his car and investigated it. There was no road in sight，“We’re trapped!”he told his wife. So they had no choice but to make their way back to the hotel.
As it was getting dark，they managed to be back. That was when the snow on the mountain began to slide. They heard the avalanche(雪崩)before they saw it. The avalanche gathered speed and size，grabbing rocks and trees and anything else in its way down the mountain，tearing the hotel from its foundation. When the avalanche came to a stop，those caught inside the hotel were left buried in the icy rocks and ruins.
Para1， When Matrone came to himself，he was stuck in the darkness.
