21、A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months.
The system, called Driver Alert, aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20% — 40% that are caused by tiredness. Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue.
Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband (腕带）.The device, worn by drivers or pilots gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel (方向盘). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver’s response ‘
Tiredness is directly related to a driver’s response time. Usually, a watchful driver would use about 400 milliseconds to respond, but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.
In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds, showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest. If the driver's response continues to slow down, the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.
The device has been delivered to the department’s laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months’ time, are successful, the makers will bring the product to market within about a year.
【1】Driver Alert is a device that can .
A. keep drivers asleep.
B. change drivers’ response accuracy.
C. reduce the possibility of accidents.
D. protect drivers when accidents happen
【2】What does the underlined word “fatigue” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Illness. B. Tiredness.
C. Carelessness, D. Impoliteness,
【3】How does Driver Alert work?
A. By being used as a nonstop alarm all the time.
B. By squeezing the steering wheel on the way.
C. By reminding or warning drivers if necessary.
D. By being worn on drivers* hands every moment.
【4】What do we know about Driver Alert?
A. It must be fixed on the driver’s cars.
B. It aims to prevent drivers from sleeping.
C. It has gone through testing at laboratories.
D. It isn't available to drivers at the moment.
22、McCormick Place in Chicago, the largest convention center (会议中心) in North America, is covered in glass that is enjoyable for humans but deadly for birds. On Oct 5, over 1,000 migrating birds died from colliding with (相撞) its glass walls in a single day.
According to data from Cornell University, the number of birds killed there during that one night is roughly equal to the typical yearly bird collision deaths at the building.
One key reason for the accident is the glass. During the day, birds fly toward glass as it reflects a perfect image of the sky and nearby trees. As night falls, the bright light from glass buildings attracts birds who fly according to the location of the moon and stars. The recent collision happened on the night of Oct 5, when the lights in the building were on for an event.
After colliding with a building, many birds will die on the spot from a broken skull. Others may continue to fly for some distance, but they rarely survive for more than a few hours, as Brendon Samuels, who researches bird window collisions at the University of Western Ontario, Canada, told The Guardian.
Every year, nearly one billion birds collide with glass in the US, according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service. In China, bird collisions are not uncommon, either. In the autumn of 2022 and spring of 2023, the National Anti-bird Collisions Action Alliance reported a total of 190 cases of bird collisions, which included several types of birds listed as second-class protected wildlife.
These tragedies (悲剧) could have been avoided if appropriate (合适的) measures had been taken. Many places around the world have already put forward bird-related guidelines on building design. These include reducing the use of glass in building walls and applying bird-friendly materials and visual markers (视觉标记) to the buildings’ walls. Turning off lights at night during migration seasons can also significantly help reduce bird collisions.
Alongside guidelines on bird-friendly building design, people can also do their bit to help birds by putting stickers (贴纸) on glass windows in their homes and closing the curtains at night.
【1】What do we know about the bird collision event that happened in Chicago on Oct 5?
A．It happened during the day.
B．About 10,000 birds were killed.
C．McCormick Place closed because of it.
D．The building`s glass is a key cause of it.
【2】According to the passage, what happens to the birds after they collide with buildings?
A．Many die instantly or within a few hours due to injuries.
B．They fly back to where they came from.
C．They will be rescued and rehabilitated.
D．Most survive but with minor injuries.
【3】What are the typical characteristics of bird-building collisions?
A．Common and harmful to birds.
B．Unavoidable and friendly to birds.
C．Rare and damaged to both birds and buildings.
D．Infrequent and preventable to both birds and buildings.
【4】What measure is suggested to help prevent bird collisions?
A．Building taller structures.
B．Painting buildings in bright colors.
C．Increasing lighting around buildings at night.
D．Reducing glass and adding bird-safe materials in buildings.
【5】What does this passage mainly talk about?
A．The effects of closing curtains at night on bird migration.
B．The National Anti-bird Collisions Action Alliance report.
C．The tragedy of bird collision with building glass.
D．The largest convention center in North America.
23、Cedar Creek Treehouse (雪松溪树屋)
Cedar Creek Treehouse is very high. About 15m above ground, it is wrapped around the trunk of an enormous 200-year-old red cedar tree. The treehouse is the brainchild of Bill Compher, who has created this special building at the border between Mount Rainier National Park and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Washington.
Access is along a 25m-long suspension bridge, then up a five-story stairway whose fourth floor is a glass observation area, where you can swing in a hammock (吊床) and enjoy the mountain views. On the fifth floor, the treehouse is divided into two levels: from the entrance there’s a surprisingly spacious living room, kitchen, bathroom and sunroom, while upstairs there are two double beds and skylights so you can take in the night sky.
But if this isn’t enough of a bird’s-eye view, you can climb up a separate 30m stairway, walk across another suspension bridge to a glass observatory and admire the 360-degree views of the forest. But this is not for everyone. “Climbing an 85-foot staircase, walking a 45-foot-long suspension bridge to a treehouse observatory 100 feet in the sky... that takes a special kind of person,” wrote Compher on his website.
Need to know: Kids under 10 are not allowed inside the treehouse. Rates are $250 for two people per night, and $25 for each additional guest.
【1】What can a guest do on the fifth floor?
A．Cook some food.
B．Rest in a hammock.
C．Stay in a glass observatory.
D．Walk on a suspension bridge.
【2】Why did Compher write the post on his website?
A．To attract visitors.
B．To give a warning.
C．To make a comparison.
D．To provide instructions.
【3】How much should four people pay for an overnight stay at CedarCreek Treehouse?
A．$275.
B．$300.
C．$500.
D．$550.
24、A 15-year-old Colorado high school student and young scientist who has used artificial intelligence (AI) and created apps to address polluted drinking water, drug addiction and other social problems has been named Time Magazine’s first-ever “Kid of the Year”.
Rao told The Associated Press in an interview from her home that the prize is nothing that I could have ever imagined. And I’m so grateful and just so excited that we’re really taking a look at the upcoming generation and our generation, since the future is in our hands.
Time said Rao stood out for creating a global community of young innovators and inspiring them to pursue their goals. Rao insisted that starting out small doesn’t matter, as long as you’re passionate about it.
She told Time contributing editor Angelina Jolie in an interview that her science pursuits started early as a way to improve social conditions. The drinking water crisis in Flint, Michigan, inspired her work to develop a way to detect pollutants and send those results to a mobile phone, she said.
“I was like 10 when I told my parents that I wanted to research carbon nanotube sensor technology at the Denver Water quality research lab, and my mum was like, A what?” Rao told Jolie. She said that work is going to be in our generation’s hands pretty soon. “So if no one else is gonna do it, I’m gonna do it.”
In a world where science is increasingly questioned or challenged, Rao insisted that its pursuit is an act of kindness, the best way that a younger generation can better the world.
“We have science in everything we’re involved in, and I think that’s the biggest thing to put out there, that science is cool, innovating is cool, and anybody can be an innovator.” Rao said, “Anybody can do science.”

26、阅读下面材料，根据内容和所给段落开头句子续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As one as I can remember, it is more than 5 years since Dad left us, whom we missed very much. And what we are supposed to do now is accompany Mum very well, caring for her as much as possible. Mum cherishes everything from Dad, especially the thing that gives her a beautiful memory.
Yesterday, after telling my brother Rhys, and me to stop playing like wild animals, Mum went to take a bath. We were having a pillow fight when suddenly one hit a vase. Mum heard the loud crash. Wasting no time, she went wiping into the room. I was sure that she was going to shout at us, but instead she just knelt by the pieces and began to cry.
This made Rhys and me feel pretty awful. My mom explained to us why she was so upset. In the pieces lay a broken glass rose, one pedal (花瓣) gone, which was given by Dad on their first wedding and anniversary. Dad had said that if he ever forgot to bring flowers home for an anniversary in the future, Mum was to look at that one. It was like their love: it would last a lifetime.
We began crying, and offered to glue it. But Mum said that wouldn’t really fix. Now that it had been broken, the value of the “limited edition” had reduced. Tears kept coming down her cheeks.
With great regret, I put both my hands on her shoulders and begged her to forgive us. Mum remained in sadness. And I continued to comfort her, “All things can be broken, Mum. But the only thing that cannot be broken is our love, which is the strongest thing that can never be broken.” Hearing this, Mum seemed to be a little relieved. Turning to me and looking at me in the eye, she responded, “You are right, my son.”
注意：续写词数应为80左右。
Paragraph:
Mum hugged me very tightly and finally smiled.
