21、Tiny as they are, bats have the ability to "see" in the dark by using a special skill called echolocation(回声定位法）. They make noises and wait for sound waves, or an echo, to bounce back off objects. They can tell the distance of various objects by how quickly, the sound waves bounce back off them. If no sound bounces back, they can then fly forward.
This special ability has been copied in the human world for a long time，such as in submarines and planes. But apart from helping vehicles “see” where they are, what if blind people could use echolocation for themselves? American Daniel Kish. who is blind, 1s known as "batman. " This isn't because he walks around in a cape(披风) and a mask, but because he has a bat-like ability to locate where he is through sharp clicks he makes by moving his tongue against the roof of his mouth. Kish is so skilled at echolocating that he can ride a bike and hike on his own.
Recently, a research carried out at the University of Durham in England shed some light on the power of human echolocation. Kish, as well as other volunteers, worked with a group of scientists who studied the way blind people listen to the echoes that they produce from clicks. The team found that people were capable of hearing even very faint echoes, ones far fainter than had been previously thought.
Lore Thaler, lead scientist of the group, said, "We found that in some conditions, they were really faint-about 95 percent softer than the actual clicks, but the echolocators were still able to sense this."
Andrew Kolarik, another expert in echolocation, told BBC News that echolocation “can be very useful at providing information at face or chest height” and could help people “avoid objects like low hanging branches that might not get detected by the cane or a guide dog".
According to BBC News, echolocation is a skill blind people can acquire and develop, just like learning a language. As Kolarik said, "Teaching echolocation skills could provide blind people with the means of exploring new places. "
【1】What does "this special ability" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The ability to make noises in the dark.
B．The ability to bounce back off objects.
C．The ability to measure the distance quickly.
D．The ability to use sound waves to echolocate.
【2】What do we know about Daniel Kish from the text?
A．He is fond of riding a bike and hiking alone.
B．He is able to hear echoes he produces from clicks.
C．He is called "Batman” because he looks like a bat.
D．He conducted the experiment to circulate echolocation.
【3】What is Kolarik's attitude towards the future use of echolocation in blind people?
A．Ambiguous.
B．Hopeful.
C．Tolerant.
D．Doubtful.
【4】What's the best title for the text?
A．Echolocation in Human World.
B．A Very Special Batman.
C．Finding New Way to “See”.
D．A Breakthrough in echoing.
22、Hunger and malnutrition still exist in the world. Luckily, there are exciting, creative solutions to solving the extra food coming from restaurants, grocery stores, and farmers. 【1】
On June 7, 2022, Spain adopted a draft bill on leftovers. Food businesses will have to submit their plans to reduce food waste. 【2】 Restaurants will soon be required to provide containers for customers to take home their leftovers. Although this may seem like normal practice, in Spain, this is not the custom. With this upcoming law, diners can request their leftovers to be wrapped in recycled packaging for no extra cost. 【3】 Supermarkets will also be asked to donate their unsold food to food banks and neighborhood organizations.
【4】 It can help reduce greenhouse gasses, ensure there is more food for the hungry, and save money in an economic depression. It may also heal nature as there’ll be less demand to destroy forest to grow crops and raise livestock. This, in turn, could reduce the usage of water and decrease pollution in the agricultural sector.
Along with France and Italy, Spain is paving the way for other countries to address this global issue. Spain hopes to enforce these new laws by 2023 and is also developing an awareness program to educate the consumer. Much food waste also comes from within the household. 【5】 Hence, teaching children about food waste is a big step towards making the world a better, less hungry place.
A．As the proverb goes, “Charity begins at home.”
B．If restaurants fail to do this, they could be fined.
C．Joint efforts are needed to deal with this global issue.
D．As a famous saying goes, “One good turn deserves another.”
E．Reducing food waste is of great significance in a hungry world.
F．Instead of being thrown out, unused food will soon be repurposed.
G．This new bill will impress upon the public a new attitude towards food waste.
23、Square dancing is a form of entertainment and physical exercise, which is a good thing. However, a group of senior Chinese ladies dancing in New York’s Sunset Park were recently faced with noise complaints from nearby residents. The local court even served a summons (传票) related to a certain Ms. Wang.
The news soon caused heated discussion across China, with many believing the incident to involve a cultural conflict between the East and West,while others view it as a form of discrimination against Chinese in the United States.
The United States is a diverse society, and in many cases, Chinese dancers are tolerated and even appreciated. Meanwhile, the United States is a society based on the rule of law, and due to cultural differences, local regulations seem to be very different from those in China. As a result, some old Chinese ladies dancing in New York’s Sunset Park found themselves caught in an embarrassing situation. Locals and immigrants from other nations view such noise as a violation of their right to enjoy tranquility. Calling the police is regarded as the most efficient way to solve such a problem.
Before, these ladies probably did not understand local customs and rules. However, since the incident took place, they should perhaps know a little better next time and keep the noise to a minimum. People from different nations are often supposed to reach compromises, respecting and tolerating each other.
Whatever your choice of entertainment, it is important not to affect other people’s lives. Square dancing is only one of many activities during which people should mind their behavior.
As for U.S. police practice, there might still be some room for improvement. Some were said to be rather rude, leading to the so-called “racial discrimination,” which is a sensitive topic in U.S. society.
If the involved parties could be more tolerant, and solve such problems without involving the court, perhaps immigrants would mix more.
【1】The writer mentions the incident in Paragraph 1 to __________.
A. show his opinion B. make complaints
C. bring up the topic D. criticize the local police
【2】The underlined word “tranquility” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ________.
A. entertainment B. quietness
C. freedom D. quality
【3】What will the senior Chinese ladies most probably do after the incident?
A. Go back to China.
B. Fight for their right.
C. Ask America to change its law.
D. Keep the noise lower.
【4】What’s the writer’s attitude towards senior Chinese ladies dancing in New York’s Sunset Park?
A. He thinks all parties involved should be more tolerant.
B. He strongly supports the action of the local police.
C. He considers it a shame for senior Chinese ladies to do so.
D. He suggests such kind of problem should be solved in the court.
24、Francisco Fernandez died after falling off a motorbike. The 45-year-old was a beloved community figure. But with a public-facing job and a spot on his lung, he was considered a possible COVID-19 carrier. A doctor ordered his family to bury him quickly, against Philippine tradition, and all eight people who lived with him were put under a 14-day quarantine(隔离)in their crowded home.
Yet when Anthony Cortez, the doctor who had ordered the rushed burial and quarantine, arrived to check on the Fernandez family, none of them expressed anger. Instead, faces lit up and the kids waved eagerly.
Cortez, the only community doctor in Bambang, has overseen their medical care for years. They trust him, and he makes them laugh. The family gathered outside to have their temperatures taken by the doctor. When the kids tried to give Cortez high fives for not having a fever, the 56-year-old, in a surgical mask, face shield, and rubber gloves, showed "air fives" instead. For the 56 000 people living in Bambang, Cortez is their primary caregiver and the first responder.
When the first coronavirus(冠状病毒)case in the Philippines was confirmed on January 30, the town's response fell to Cortez. He and Mayor Pepito Balgos decided to take action based on science that, if necessary, would go beyond national restrictions. Cortez and Balgos are sharply aware of the threat the virus poses to Bambang, which sits in a valley surrounded by mountains. Anyone going south to Manila or north toward the rest of the country ends up passing through Bambang.
Cortez quickly set up a system of contact tracing. Using information from the town's 25 villages, he made a list of all the people who had traveled to other countries, and placed them under strict home quarantine. Anyone with symptoms would be moved to a center set up in the mountains. So far that center has remained empty.
"It is safer to assume that everybody is positive," he explained.
【1】What is Cortez' reaction to the death of Francisco Fernandez?
A．Expressing his sympathy.
B．Drowning himself into mourn.
C．Showing professional sensitivity.
D．Following the tradition.
【2】On what basis does Cortez take strict measures to protect Bambang?
A．Its geographic character.
B．Its lack of medical staff.
C．Its large population.
D．The demand of the nation.
【3】What can be inferred about the contact tracing system by Cortez?
A．It is totally a waste of effort.
B．It is complained about by local people.
C．It is praised by higher authorities.
D．It is effective as a protective means.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?
A．A diary.
B．A novel.
