21、 Technology never stops moving. These inventions will be here sooner than you think, so it’s best to get your wallet ready for them.
5G networks will bring the Internet everywhere
The most exciting thing about 5G is that it will be a full-on broadband internet service, meaning that instead of having one service for your mobile devices and one for home internet, you’ll be able to get home 5G and take it with you, as well. That also means less reliance（依赖） on wi-fi.
Smart needles will detect cancer in moments
Right now, most cancers aren’t detected until something goes wrong, which is what the smart needle hopes to change. Cancerous tissue and healthy tissue reflect light differently, according to Medical Xpress. The way the smart needle works is by shining light through the tissue in question and then quickly calculating if the tissue is sick or healthy. It takes seconds, and without painful operations.
People will be able to feel things in virtual reality
Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) attracted a lot of attention in the last decade, but things will only get more interesting from here, starting with the ability to touch and feel the things we see through all the various kinds of computer-generated pictures.

22、An exhibition of vivid photographs and a restored documentary give fresh insight into the Antarctic explorer, who died a century ago.
One hundred years ago, the leader of the last great expedition of the heroic age of polar exploration died from a heart attack as his ship, Quest, headed for Antarctica. The announcement of the death of Ernest Shackleton on 30 January 1922 was greeted with an outpouring of national grief.
This was the man, after all, who had saved the entire crew of his ship Endurance — which had been crushed and sunk by ice in 1915 — by making a daring trip in a tiny open boat over 750 miles of polar sea to raise the alarm at a whaling station in South Georgia.
It remains one of the greatest rescue stories of modern history and led to the idolising of Shackleton in the United Kingdom, a reputation that survived undamaged for the rest of the century. As his contemporary Raymond Priestley, the geologist and Antarctic explorer, later put it: “When disaster strikes and all hope is gone, get down on your knees and pray for Shackleton.”
And here and now in 2022, his death is being marked with an elaborately illustrated exhibition — Shackleton’s legacy and the power of early Antarctic photography — which opens at the Royal Geographical Society (RGS), and which includes a range of images and artefacts from his expeditions. Additionally, a digitally remade version of South, a documentary film of Shackleton’s 1914-16 Endurance expedition, is being screened at the British Film Institute.
The film and most of the exhibition’s finest images are the handiwork of Frank Hurley, who sailed with Shackleton and who was one of the 20th century’s greatest photographers and film-makers. Both film and exhibition feature striking camera work and provide vivid accounts of the hardships that Shackleton and his men endured as they headed off to explore Antarctica.
Even after he survived the great expedition, he still longed for another trip to Antarctica, and after long negotiations set sail in Quest, from England, with the aim of circumnavigating (环航) Antarctica, Shackleton was by now very ill and had suffered at least one heart attack. On 2 January 1922, he wrote in his diary: “I grow old and tired but must always lead on.” Three days later he had a major heart attack and died a few hours later. He is buried on South Georgia, scene of his greatest triumph.
“Shackleton was an inspirational leader. He had an innate sense of what was possible and achievable. He also had a huge personality but led by example. At the same time, he was sensitive to the needs of the individuals he was leading. For example, after Endurance broke up, his men had lost their protection and shelter. Their social fabric had been destroyed. There would have been disagreement. Yet Shackleton succeeded in keeping them together and made sure they survived.”
【1】People were overcome with grief when Ernest Shackleton died because .
A．it was a huge pity that such a brave explorer should have died from a heart attack
B．he was the man that wrote about one of the greatest rescue stories of modern history
C．he came to his entire crew’s rescue and symbolised hope in extreme circumstances
D．there was no one to pray to anymore when disaster came and there was no hope
【2】What can we learn about the exhibition?
A．It presents Shackleton’s 1914-16 Endurance expedition with powerful Antarctic photos.
B．It celebrates the 100th anniversary of the great explorer Ernest Shackleton’s birth.
C．It consists of vivid photographs, artefacts, and documentaries of Ernest Shackleton.
D．It is created by Frank Hurley, who witnessed Shackleton’s heroic acts with his own eyes.
【3】Which of the following is NOT true about Ernest Shackleton according to the passage?
A．He was the leader of a heroic exploration to the South pole, who died from a heart attack off shore.
B．He saved the crew members of the sunken Endurance by travelling to raise the alarm in a tiny boat.
C．He is universally recognised as the greatest Antarctic explorer who has enjoyed enduring fame.
D．He was inspirational, practical, responsible, sensitive towards his men, but had a strong character.
【4】What does “Their social fabric had been destroyed. ” in the last paragraph most probably mean?
A．What they wore would not be accepted by others upon returning.
B．They could no longer socialise with others even if they went back.
C．The ship could not keep them together even if they survived.
D．They could not function socially as they had when there was shelter.
23、Blood-Doping Champion
Blood doping (违规输血) to improve performance is forbidden in professional sports. Athletes can use this technique to fuel their muscles with more oxygen-carrying red blood cells—for example, by receiving a transfusion. But many animals dope naturally: sheep, fishes and horses can boost their blood’s capacity to carry oxygen by 16 to 74 percent in physically demanding situations. Now a study shows that an Antarctic fish called the bald notothen can increase its carrying capacity by more than 200 percent to pursue an active life in cold waters.
Like most fishes native to Antarctica, the bald notothen’s blood contains anti-freeze proteins that help it withstand extreme cold. But these proteins, along with red blood cells (RBCs), can make blood sticky and hard to circulate. Some Antarctic fishes adapt by removing RBCs altogether, absorbing oxygen directly from the water via skin as they passively await prey (猎物). Bald notothens, however, actively swim below surface ice to chase other active life when avoiding seals and penguins. For this behavior, “you need to supply more oxygen to the muscles,” says Michael Axelsson, a physiologist at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden and co-author of the new study.
The scientists compared RBC levels in samples collected from bald notothens relaxing in glass tanks with those in samples drawn from fish they “chased” using a plastic tube. RBC levels were at 9 percent in the resting animals but 27 percent in the exercised ones, showing a 207 percent increase in the latter’s blood oxygen carrying capacity. “No other fish we’ve seen can more than double their RBCs or drop their numbers to such a low level when resting,” Axelsson says. The fish’s spleen (脾) stores RBCs, and the researcher found that to release more into the bloodstream, the organ shrinks to weigh 41 percent less.
The enormous changes in RBC levels initially surprised Gerald Kooyman, a biologist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, who was not involved in the study. He notes, however, that these animals have fewer blood cells to begin with, so maintaining circulation with a tripled RBC count is less difficult. If a diving Weddell seal pushed its RBC levels from 40 to 90 percent, for instance, its blood would be dangerously hard to pump.
Yet bald notothens do face trade-offs for their ability. The scientists found blood pressure was 12 percent higher and the heart worked 30 percent harder in active individuals. Bald notothens can rest during quiet times, but when they need to use their abilities, Axelsson says, “these fish have to live with more RBCs because they need more oxygen.”
【1】Compared with most fishes native to Antarctica, what is special about the bald notothen?
A．Its blood contains anti-freeze proteins.
B．It can absorb oxygen directly from water via is skin.
C．Its red blood cells can make blood sticky and hard to circulate.
D．It actively swims below surface ice when chasing other active life.

【3】It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that ________.
A．the RBC levels in seals can increase from 40 to 90 percent
B．bald notothens’ blood pressure are 12 percent higher than other fishes
C．when bald notothens chase active life, there are more RBCs in their bodies
D．Gerald Kooyman, a marine biologist provided some suggestions on this study
【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To explain study methods on fishes.
B．To introduce some findings about a fish.
C．To present a way to improve athletes’ performance.
D．To raise people’s awareness to protect bald notothens.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In 2019, I rescued a skittish donkey (容易受惊的驴). Bo came from a nearby cattle ranch and now lives peacefully on my ranch in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana, along with another donkey, three horses, and two dogs. But the key to Bo’s successful recovery from nervous rescue to happy ranch animal wasn’t anything I did. It was my grandson, Dylan.
When he was just shy of four years old, Dylan came with his parents to spend the Fourth of July with me on their way to Canada for a vacation. Bo kept his distance from the grown-ups, but he displayed an unusual fascination with Dylan. So we decided to introduce them. “Move slowly, keep your arms down, be quiet, and stoop down sometimes,” I told my grandson. Dylan cautiously approached Bo, step by step, holding a soft rubber comb. Bo held his ground, but he seemed interested with this little visitor. Dylan rubbed Bo’s shoulders and neck softly with the comb, removing remains of his thick winter coat.
It’s hard for an almost four-year-old to stay still for long, and motivation overcame self-control. Dylan made one quick move, and Bo jumped off with light steps. But Bo and Dylan were not ready to give up. Dylan approached again. To witness a preschooler learn to control himself in such a short time was amazing.
