21、Technology usually distracts us from nature. But now technology is “offering us an opportunity to listen to nonhumans in powerful ways, reviving our connection to the natural world,” wrote professor Karen Bakker in her new book, The Sounds of Life: How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants.
All around the animal kingdom, there are sounds that we struggle to pick up and decipher. Elephants, for example, communicate with each other using infrasound (次声波), a sound frequency far below our human hearing range. Coral in the ocean also communicates with each other through sound waves, with one purpose being to attract baby coral to areas where it can successfully grow. This is a shocking fact as coral doesn’t have any ears! Scientists have placed listening devices in these environments to pick up sounds humans are normally unable to detect.
After the sounds are recorded, AI is then able to determine their meaning, according to the news website Vox. There are now whole databases of whale songs and honeybee dances. Bakker wrote that one day this information could be turned into “a zoological version of Google Translate”. One animal language Bakker wrote about is that of the elephant. She explained how elephants “have a different signal for honeybee, which is a threat, and a different signal for human,” in an interview with Vox. “Moreover, they distinguish between threatening humans and non-threatening humans,” she said.
This technology can not only understand the animals, but also communicate back to them. For example, bees use dances to communicate to their peers where to go in search of nectar (花蜜). A research team in Germany, therefore, plugged the bee language AI database system in to a robot bee, allowing the robot to create a dance routine that can tell the bees which direction to move. Vox reported. Whereas in the past language creation had been limited to mainly apes, with there being many examples of chimpanzees having been aught sign language to communicate with humans, this new technology now allows humans to socialize with different animals throughout the animal kingdom.
【1】What does the underlined word “decipher” most probably mean in paragraph 2?
A．Imitate.
B．Record.
C．Produce.
D．Understand.
【2】What do we know about coral?
A．They communicate through infrasound.
B．Their sounds are within our range of hearing.
C．They have no ears and cannot pick up sound.
D．Sound waves help baby coral choose their home.
【3】Which of the following animals have different signals for different purposes?
A．Coral.
B．Whales.
C．Elephants.
D．Honeybees.
【4】Why did researchers create the robot bee?
A．To collect more bee dances.
B．To convey direction to bees.
C．To learn the language of bees.
D．To help bees search for their friends.
22、 I saw my first total solar eclipse(日全食）in 1999 on the coast of France.Little did I know that the experience would change my life and determine the course of my career.
＂Eclipse-chasers"aim to put themselves in what's called the path of totality,the thin region where the sun is completely blocked out.While partial eclipses are interesting,total eclipses are breathtaking.Full darkness descends(降临）as the moon blocks the sun and its shadow covers the Earth.Viewers can remove protective glasses and stare at the black circle with their naked eyes(肉眼）。Since 1999,I have travelled around the globe to witness 10 total solar eclipses.I have carried out a research program to document and analyze the experiences of eclipse-chasers,publishing my findings in the books Total Addiction and Being in the Shadow.
My survey data was interesting because it showed me that,again and again,the eclipse-chasers were saying the same things.It was so amazing.There is something about this experience that is so profound and really life-changing.I basically teased out the common elements of it,and it creates an acronym(首字母缩拼词），SPACED.
What happens is that we're standing there waiting for it to happen,and there's this"sense of wrongness"-that's the S.We're picking up that there's something in the environment that really is not right.This is the element that's very hard to describe to people who haven't seen it,because they just imagine that it goes from day to night,and we all experience that every day.But there's something otherworldly that happens;we just cannot communicate to other people how weird(奇异的）the environment gets.
And then that leads to a primal fear.The hair on the back of our neck stands up and we get goosebumps(鸡皮疙瘩），and this is the moment where the shadow comes towards us.We're looking at the sky and there's this creeping darkness;it's so ominous and really wrong and we just think,"What is going on?"So,that's the P,the"primal fear."
And then as totality comes above us and the darkness descends,and we're standing there in the shadow of the moon and seeing the eclipsed sun,it's just the most spectacular(壮观的）thing we've seen.That's when we get that sense of complete"awe"-that's the A.We know the emotion of awe involves vastness:We get a sense of the significance of something and how powerful it is in relation to us,and so we feel insignificant ourselves. We have to actually change our mental structures to help us understand what we're seeing because it's just so vast.
So,we feel insignificant,but we also then feel"connected"to something greater-and that's the C in SPACED.I myself feel connected to humanity and nature,so I just have this sense of how we are all one.It doesn't matter what color,religion,background,culture you come from,regardless of how you make sense of it;we all experience this.We are human beings standing there at that moment at that point in time,all connected with our experience.
And then afterwards is the"euphoria(欣快感）”－that's the E.There's such a range of intense emotion over a very,very short period of time,like a rollercoaster that happens within minutes.We have the most intense highs and it's incredible.
And then the total eclipse is over and then we are just left with this "desire to repeat,"and that's the D.It's so strong.If you're in a group of people who have seen their first total eclipse,the next question is"When's the next one?"People just can't fully understand the idea that that's all it is; they have to see it again.
【1】What can we find in the books Total Addiction and Being in the Shadow?
A.The path of totality in life.
B.The reason for solar eclipse.
C.The difference among eclipses.
D.The experiences of seeing eclipses.
【2】Why do people get the"sense of wrongness"?
A.Because they cannot explain the sudden change from day to night.
B.Because they cannot find the right words to express their feelings.
C.Because they cannot see solar eclipses with their naked eyes.
D.Because they cannot have much time to see solar eclipses.
【3】Why may people feel insignificant when seeing solar eclipses?
A.Because they all have nothing to share.
B.Because they are scared by solar eclipses.
C.Because they are shocked by the universe.
D.Because they are misunderstood by others.
【4】What can we infer from Paragraph 7?
A.Different people have different feelings when seeing solar eclipses.
B.Different cultures have different explanations for solar eclipses.
C.People connected with each other can have same feelings.
D.People have the same experience when seeing solar eclipses.
23、Computer technology is still developing rapidly.The computer of the future will continue to increase in value and performance while decreasing in cost.It will become smaller，but faster and more powerful.
It is possible to make some guesses about what the future of the computer will look like，based upon the types of technologies that are being developed now.A lot of progress has already been made in some of these new technologies，but some are still in their earliest stages and may not be ready for use for years.Two of the most interesting areas of computing that are currently being developed are quantum computing (量子计算) and nanotechnology (纳米技术)．
Quantum computing is one possibility for the future of the computer that could make computers run far faster than even the quickest computers do today.Quantum computers could be able to do what modern supercomputers are unable to do by using transistors that are able to take on many states at the same time.
Nanotechnology could also change the face of computing，by creating computers that could be very powerful，though they are tiny in size.These computers could be incorporated (并入) into everyday objects，including electrical appliances (电器)，clothes and even the human body.We will be able to use computers in new and unimaginable ways.They will become a part of our lives rather than simply being a box that is used only for specific purposes，such as work.
Quantum computing and nanotechnology will be able to play new roles，which will make us live greener lives，as well as enjoy better health and happier lives.
【1】According to the text，quantum computing ________．
A．has been put in use so far
B．can make computers run by themselves
C．can reduce the cost of computers
D．will work by using transistors
【2】We can learn from the text that nanotechnology will ________．

24、As a summer job, I used to do housework for Mr Fleagle. When I entered his house, I saw that books were piled up (堆积) like a small hill. It was like a library, except with no order to the arrangement.
“Read, borrow, keep, or find something you like. What do you read?” Mr Fleagle said.
“I don’t know.” And I didn’t. I generally read what was in front of me, so I started to look through the piles of books. I asked him to choose a book for me.
“You really read all of these?” I asked.
“These aren’t many，” Mr Fleagle said.
“They_are_nothing,_just_what_I’ve_kept,_the_ones_worth_looking_at_a_second_time.”
After a moment, he handed me a dark red hardcover book, fairly thick.
I started to read the book after finishing housework, sitting outdoors on an uncomfortable kitchen chair. Translated from French, the language was simple, impossible to resist (抵挡). When the evening light finally failed, I moved inside and read all through the night.
Thirty years later, I still remember the experience. It was my first connection (联系) with the world literature, and I was amazed by the connected power a novel could contain.
