21、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
If you go to Ethiopia,you’ll find a strange palm-like structure,which is called Warka Water.It gathers water from fog and condensation(水珠)and is invented by an Italian firm.
When Italian designer Arturo Vittori and Swiss architect Andreas Vogler first visited Ethiopia in 2012,they were shocked to see women and children forced to walk miles to access what,for them,had always been within easy reach,water.
Only 34 percent of Ethiopians have access to a reliable water supply.Some travel for up to six hours a day to fetch some or,even worse,have to use pond water polluted by human waste,subject to the spread of disease.
Worldwide,about 768 million people—two and a half times the U.S.population—don’t have access to safe drinking water.So just imagine if we could just pull water out of thin air?That’s what Vittori and Vogler asked once they saw the severe problem and promised to take action.Their firm,Architecture and Vision,has since come up with Warka Water,a grand palm-like structure that may look like something you’d see in a modern art museum,but it’s been designed to harvest water from the air.
Warka Water,which is named after an Ethiopian fig tree,is composed of a 30-foot bamboo frame containing a fog-harvesting nylon net that can catch water easily,can be easily lowered for repairs and allow communities to measure the water level.Collecting water through condensation is hardly a new technique,but the creators of Warka Water say their tree-inspired design is more effective,maximizing surface and perfecting every angle to produce up to 26 gallons of drinkable water a day—enough for a family of seven.
Western organizations have been working to provide clean water access in Africa for decades,so Warka Water joins a very long list of earlier attempts.So far,high-tech solutions,like the once promising Playpump,have failed,mostly due to high costs and maintenance issues.
This is where Warka Water stands apart—a lower-tech solution that is easy to repair and far more affordable than digging wells in the rocky Ethiopian plateau.
【1】What does the underlined phrase “subject to” in the third paragraph most probably mean?
A.owing to B.opposite to
C.sensitive to D.giving rise to
【2】Warka Water is designed mainly to .
A.gather clean water efficiently
B.reduce water supply costs
C.simplify maintenance
D.preserve water supplies
【3】According to the sixth paragraph,what caused Playpump to fail?
A.Lack of advanced technology
B.Unsuccessful designs
C.Lack of money and maintenance issues
D.Unreasonable structures
22、The words “protect animals” appear everywhere in books and on screens, because some animals are even in danger of dying out. But sometimes the reality can be a little different from what people read or watch.
About 300 black bears were killed in Florida, the US, in October, 2015. It’s been the first bear hunt in the state since 1994. Local officers explained that the black bear population had grown to 3,500 and become a menace to local people. In the past two years, bears have hurt at least four people in Florida.
Months ago, the Swiss government allowed locals to kill a wolf. This was because the wolf killed 38 sheep, and it was a great loss to some local farmers. Days ago in China, three old men were caught by the police for killing a serow (鬣羚), a kind of protected animal. They said they killed the animal because it ate the plants they grew.
However, these stories don’t always mean that animal protection stops because of human interests especially when it is related to economic development. A man named Zhou Weisen set up a wild animal base in Guilin, Guangxi. He saved over 170 tigers and about 300 bears. His base also offered jobs to local people.
“There may never be a standard answer to the question of whether we should give more attention to the environment or human development,” said Robert May, a British expert at Oxford University. “But we shouldn’t push either one to the side, as the future is uncertain.”
【1】In October, 2015, Florida held its first bear hunt after about ___________.
A．five years
B．ten years
C．fourteen years
D．twenty-one years
【2】What does the underlined word “menace” in the second paragraph mean?
A．threat
B．chance
C．bargain
D．treasure
【3】What does the author intend to tell us by mentioning Zhou Weisen’s story?
A．Protecting animals needs hard work.
B．Zhou was good at feeding wild animal.
C．Zhou had a good relationship with local people.
D．Protecting animals can bring economic development.
【4】Which of the following statements might Robert May agree with?
A．Human development should be considered first.
B．We should pay more attention to animal protection.
C．We should consider both the environment and human interests.
D．It’s difficult to find proper ways to solve environmental problems.
23、The world is on a fast track toward an autonomous future. From off-road tractors and rural transit systems to air vehicles and space exploration, automation will enhance safety, increase efficiency and improve people’s lives. The more we can automate, the more we can protect people’s life and happiness.
To make the autonomous future safe and secure, manufacturers and operators will need reliable, assured positioning, said Michael Ritter, president of Hexagon’s Autonomy & Positioning division. At the HxGN LIVE Global 2022 event, he gave an overview of assured positioning and demonstrated how it provides the foundation for safe autonomy.
Ritter explained how positioning technologies can enable the future of autonomy for good publicity across industries including agriculture, mining and automotive. “We’ve all heard about autonomy,” he said. “What’s one of the big problems there? It doesn’t always work as advertised.” He mentioned Tesla’s AutoPilot as an example. “In our industry, the non-consumer world, we can’t have that,” he added. “We need to have autonomy solutions that we can trust.” “If that is not a hundred percent waterproof, crystal clear, and protected from outside interference (干扰) and cybersecurity threats, you can’t trust that positioning,” he said. “We have to know where we are at all times, and we cannot have that signal falsified (歪曲).”
While Ritter doesn’t think he’ll see the universal use of autonomous vehicles in passenger traffic during his lifetime “because laws will be in the way,” he said applications in “off-road autonomy—construction, mining and agriculture—are here today, which all take place in controllable spaces; laws are not such a big problem,” he said. “This is happening right now. We don’t have to wait 10 to 20 years for that.”
However, a big safety challenge in expanding autonomy is anticipating all the corner cases, or “all the stuff that could happen once in a lifetime,” Ritter said. Those can be overcome by real-life testing, multiplying that with simulation (模拟) “a hundred million times over,” and then going “back into real life” and performing “real, extreme Testing.”
【1】What’s Ritter’s purpose of mentioning Tesla’s AutoPilot?
A．To show its good publicity.
B．To advocate its assured positioning.
C．To put forward reliable autonomy solutions.
D．To serve as a reminder for the non-consumer world.
【2】What is Ritter’s attitude towards the development of autonomy according to paragraph 4?
A．Cautious.
B．Optimistic.
C．Doubtful.
D．Objective.
【3】What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Real and extreme testing.
B．Real-life testing.
C．A big safe challenge.
D．Expanding autonomy.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．Big challenges for future automation.
B．The impact of automation on daily life.
C．Necessary regulations for safe automation.
D．Different fields of automation development.
24、In the U.S., hanging out in a cafe with animals is a new concept. People can't get enough of it. But in Japan, cat cafes are just the start. You can hang out in rabbit cafes or have coffee in Tokyo with two goats.【1】 You can also spend an hour at a cafe holding a wise owl (猫头鹰). Tokyo's Fukuro no Mise is one of them.
To get a spot, visitors are supposed to line up an hour before Fukuro no Mise opens. But when I showed up an hour early, I was lucky to get the last seat.
Inside, I was given a list of detailed English instructions. 【2】 The woman in charge also gave a long talk. Each guest was shown how to hold a bird before they really tried.
The staff will place the owl on your shoulder or head, if you like. They can also help if your owl starts to get upset. Raising your hand in the air usually settles it down. 【3】 A worker came and repositioned it. If you've had enough and want to just watch everyone else's owls, they'll come and take it away.
【4】This isn't one of them, though no flash is allowed and no video. But posting a shot of yourself on social media holding an owl is clearly a goal for many visitors.
Souvenirs will be distributed as part of the final activity. 【5】 If too many people raise hands, winners are chosen by playing rock-paper-scissors, which seems to be the same in Japan as it is in the U.S. Souvenirs usually include a photo book, cell phone charms, chopsticks and a cloth decorated with owls.
A．And you're not limited to house animals.
B．But apparently I was holding my arm wrong.
C．For example, only touch the owls on the head or back.
D．The owls seem calm although the small room is crowded.
E．Photography is forbidden in some unusual places in Japan.
F．The owl cafes are just as common there as cat cafes are here.
G．Everything is held up and guests raise their hands if they want it.
