21、Light pollution is blocking a starry view of the night sky for more than half of people across England, a research has found.
Fifty-seven percent of stargazers(观星者)struggled to see more than 10 stars, while just 2% of participants said they experienced a truly dark sky enabling them to count more than 30, according to the research by the Campaign to Protect Rural England(CPRE). People in the countryside were encouraged to count how many stars they could see with eyes within the constellation(星座)of Orion, which is visible only in the winter months.
Campaigners said the results of the star count, supported by the British Astronomical Association, showed the problem of light pollution and how it affected one of the countryside's most magical sights-a dark, starry night sky. They said the results of the research to map England's night skies suggested more could be done by the government, local councils and the general public to lessen the negative effects of artificial light from streets and buildings.
Emma Marrington, dark skies campaigner at the CPRE, said, “We're hugely grateful to the people who took the time to get out and take part in our star count. But it's deeply disappointing that the vast majority were unable to experience the natural wonder of a truly dark sky blanketed with stars. Without intervention, our night sky will continue to be lost under a covering of artificial light, ruining the health of the natural world.”
She added, “The star count results show just how far-reaching the light from street lights and buildings can be seen. Light doesn't respect boundaries, and careless use can see it spread for miles from cities.”
She suggested better-designed lighting, street light dimming(暗淡)systems and partnight lighting where some street lights are turned off during the small hours should provide an opportunity to limit the damage caused by light pollution, reduce carbon emissions and save money.
【1】What effect does the light pollution bring about to England?
A．It leads the stars to disappear.
B．It makes the countryside dim.
C．It makes the environment terrible.
D．It prevents the people seeing stars.
【2】What causes the light pollution according to the text?
A．The overuse of artificial light.
B．More and more buildings.
C．Less and less outdoor activities.
D．The spread of light in the countryside.
【3】How does Emma feel about the stargazers' efforts?
A．Regretful.
B．Surprised.
C．Appreciative.
D．Disappointed.
【4】What is Emma's suggestion for dealing with the light pollution?
A．Changing the streets' design.
B．Turning off lights at night.
C．Spreading light further.
D．Using street lights wisely.

Next, we sold the computers off to Stab, Grab, Grit, and Nasty, a firm of lawyers nearby．Our electricity bill went way down．Big savings! The boss is impressed．We have completely embraced paper technology．Now that we all use pencils, doodling is on the increase, and the quality of pencil woman ship is impressive, as you can tell from my handwriting in this letter．By the way, if you can, please send this letter back to us．We can erase and reuse it．Just tie it to Maggie’s leg and she’ll know where to take it．
Now it’s very calm and quiet here．You can notice the difference．No more loud chatter on the telephones! All we hear is the scratching of pencil on paper, the sound of pigeons, and the delivery of inter-office correspondence by paper airplane．

23、 We’ve all heard of smart phones, but how about smart clothing? The Cute-Circuit company has stepped up the technology beat and invented the SoundShirt, which was designed specifically for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. How does this incredible shirt work?
First, let’s talk about a little science. People who have either all or some hearing loss don’t actually listen to music the way that hearing people do, but they can feel it. Sound is made up of vibrations, called sound waves, which hearing people can hear through their ears with the help of the brain. What’s really cool is that deaf people sense vibrations in the part of the brain that others use for hearing!
So how is this remarkable technology able to function? First, CuteCircuit had to figure out a way to send signals to the body, kind of like how you can feel when your phone vibrates in silent mode. Those connections the body can feel are called haptics (触觉学), a use of technology that simulates the senses of touch and motion. The SoundShirt has tiny sensors woven into the shirt to pick up sound and transfer signals to the brain and body.
To test this music-to-shirt-to-wearer’s brain connection, CuteCircuit set microphones around the stage of a symphony orchestra. The shirt’s computer system digitally received the sounds coming from the instruments. Then the sensors, working like little motors, changed the signals into vibrations and the shirt wearer’s brain did the rest.
The SoundShirt lets people who are deaf or hard of hearing enjoy music in a unique way. The very deep musical sound, or pitch, of instruments like drums and basses vibrates in the lower part of the shirt. Higher pitched sounds from instruments like the flute or violin vibrate higher, around the neck and arms. As the music plays, the sensations combine while the brain gets to work putting together all the different vibrations, allowing the wearer to “hear” the concert.
You might think this innovation would look like something out of a science fiction movie, but in fact, these shirts are wireless! And the decorative laser-lined design on the shirt looks like an image of sound waves.
Technology’s purpose is to help people and make life better. Think of all the amazing things designers, engineers, and producers of wearable tech will be able to do for humankind.
【1】What’s the passage mainly about?
A.Wearable technology like the SoundShirt is the wave of the future.
B.CuteCircuit tested the SoundShirt with a symphony orchestra
C.The SoundShirt lets people who are deaf or hard of hearing enjoy music.
D.Deep musical sounds from drums vibrate in the lower part of the SoundShirt.
【2】What’s the meaning of the underlined word?
A.to be made to look like something else. B.to press something hard
C.to mark something D.to join one thing to another.
【3】What can be inferred about the SoundShirt described in the passage?
A.Before the SoundShirt, deaf people had no way of feeling sound.
B.The SoundShirt doesn’t work without the power of the human brain.
C.The SoundShirt works when the wearer is listening to a symphony orchestra.
D.CuteCircuit is giving away its SoundShirts to those deaf or hard of hearing.
【4】Why does the writer write this passage?
A.To advise that companies should focus on applying wearable technology.
B.To advocate that technology can be used to create products that help others.
C.To prove that the design of wearable technology is a rewarding industry in future.
D.To exemplify that musical instruments can be used to change technology for the better.
24、All Miss Price had been told about the new boy was that he’d spent most of his life in some kind of orphanage, and that the gray-haired “aunt and uncle” with whom he now lived were really foster parents (养父母), paid by the Welfare Department of the City of New York. A less devoted teacher might have pressed for more details, but Miss Price was content with the rough outline. It was enough to fill her with a sense of mission that shone from her eyes, from the first morning he joined the fourth grade.
He arrived early and sat in the back row, his backbone very straight, his ankles crossed precisely under the desk and his hands folded on the center of its top, and while the other children were filling in, he received a long, expressionless stare from each of them.
“We have a new classmate this morning,” Miss Price said, “His name is Vincent Sabella, and he comes from New York City. I know we’ll all do our best to make him feel at home.”
This time they all swung around to stare at once, which caused him to duck his head slightly and shift his weight from one side to the other. Ordinarily, the fact of someone’s coming from New York might have held a certain status, for to most of the children the city was a frightening, adult place that swallowed up their fathers every day. But anyone could see at a glance that Vincent Sabella had nothing to do with it. Even if you could ignore his twisted black hair and gray skin, his clothes would have given him away: ridiculously new pants, ridiculously old sports shoes and a yellow sweatshirt, much too small, with the faded remains of a Mickey Mouse design stamped on its chest.
The girls decided that he wasn’t very nice and turned away, but the boys remained in their inspection, looking him up and down with faint smiles. This was the kind of kid they were accustomed to thinking of as “tough,” the kind whose stare has made all of them uncomfortable at one time or another in unfamiliar neighborhoods; here was a unique chance for revenge.
【1】What can you learn about Miss Price and Vincent from the first two paragraphs?
A．Since nobody had ever seen Vincent’s parents, he now lived all by himself.
B．Miss Price knew Vincent so well that she’d like to focus every bit of attention on him.
C．Miss Price didn’t know much about Vincent, but that didn’t stop her wanting to care about him.
D．Vincent sat in the back row so as not to arouse any unnecessary attention caused by his late arrival.
【2】Why does the author mention “New York” in the third and the fourth paragraphs?
A．To illustrate Vincent’s distant origin.
B．To demonstrate children’s desire to go to see their fathers.
C．To emphasize Vincent’s low social status from his shabby clothes.
D．To state a certain distinction between Vincent and people’s imagination.
【3】Which of the following words can best describe Vincent?
A．Devoted but shy.
B．Nervous and uneasy.
C．Untalkative and tough.
D．Sensitive but unfortunate.
【4】What can you infer from the text about Vincent’s new classmates?
A．They were either unconcerned or unfriendly toward him.
B．They used to consider people like Vincent to be very tough.
C．They barely noticed the new boy sitting in the back of the classroom.
D．They were very curious about the newcomer in a kind and considerate manner.
