22、For people who are interested in sound, the field of sound technology is definitely making noise. In the past, sound engineers worked in the back rooms of recording studios, but many of today’s sound professionals are sharing their knowledge and experience with professionals in other fields to create new products based on the phenomenon we call sound.
Sound can be used as a weapon. Imagine that a police officer is chasing a thief. The thief tries to escape. And the officer can’t let him get away. he pulls out a special device points it at the suspect, and switches it on. The thief drops to the ground. This new weapon is called a Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD, 远程定向声波发射器). It produces a deafening sound so painful that it temporarily disables a person. The noise from the LRAD is directed like a ray of light and travels only into the ears of that person, but it is not deadly.
For those who hunger for some peace and quiet, sound can now create silence. Let’s say you are at the airport, and the little boy on the seat next to you is humming(哼唱)a short commercial song. He hums it over and over again, and you are about to go crazy. Thanks to the Silence Machine a British invention, you can get rid of the sound without upsetting the boy or his parents. One may wonder how the Silence Machine works. Well, it functions by analyzing the waves of the incoming sound and creating a second set of outgoing waves. The two sets of waves cancel each other out. Simply turn the machine on, point it at the target, and your peace and quiet comes back.
Directed sound is a new technology that allows companies to use sound in much the same way spotlights(聚光灯) are used in the theater. A spotlight lights up only one section of a stage; similarly, a “spotsound” creates a circle of sound in one targeted area. This can be useful for businesses such as restaurants and stores because it offers a new way to attract customers. Restaurants can offer a choice of music along with the various food choices on the menu, allowing customers more control over the atmosphere in which they are dining. Directed sound is also beginning to appear in shopping centers and even at homes.
【1】What could be inferred from Paragraph 2 about the effect of the LRAD?
A.It causes temporary hearing loss
B.It slows down a running man
C.It makes it easy to identify a suspect
D.It keeps the suspect from hurting others
【2】The Silence Machine is a device specially designed to ________.
A.silence the people around you
B.remove the sound of commercials
C.block the incoming sound waves
D.stop unwanted sound from affecting you
【3】What feature do spotsounds and spotlights share?
A.They travel in circles
B.They clear the atmosphere.
C.They can be transformed into energy
D.They can be directed onto a specific area
【4】Directed sound can be used for ________.
A.creative designs of restaurant menus
B.ideal sound effects on the theater stage
C.different choices of music for businesses
D.strict control over any suspicious customer
23、In Antarctica,when the long dark winter gives way to spring, ice begins to melt, and the sun stays in the sky all night long.
Into this brightly lit world, the large gray head of a Weddell seal (韦德尔海豹) appears through a crack in the ice. The seal takes several deep breaths, and then she opens her mouth, turning her head from side to side. With her teeth, she gets rid of bits of ice. Seals are mammals, and they need to breathe air, for which Weddell seals use their teeth to make sure their breathing holes stay open.
The seal makes the hole bigger, and when she can fit her large body through it, she jumps out onto the ice — she is getting ready to have a baby. On the ice shelf, the Weddell seal gives birth to a pup (小海豹). The pup is about three feet long and is covered with thick fur that protects it from the cold wind. The pup drinks its mother’s milk and grows quickly. Within a few weeks, it is more than six feet long. Under the seal’s skin is a thick layer of fat called blubber, which keeps the seal warm in its frozen world.
When the pup is about two weeks old, it begins to dive with its mother. They slide through the breathing hole into the water below the ice, where the pup learns to swim, diving deeper and deeper. In order to stay underwater, it must learn to hold its breath and control its heart rate.
Below the ice, the sun shines brightly through the hole. Finding the opening to breathe is easy, but getting back onto the slippery ice can be difficult for a young seal. With practice and its mother’s help, the pup soon feels at home both on the ice and under it.
The young seal spends more and more time below the ice, where it learns to hunt for food. When the pup is about two months old, it will have to feed itself independently. When the pup becomes an adult, it will swim farther out in search of food, but it will always live on or under the ice.
【1】Paragraph 2 is mainly about ________.
A. the function of Weddell seals’ teeth
B. the living conditions of Weddell seals
C. how Weddell seals move under the ice
D. how Weddell seals keep their breathing holes open
【2】According to Paragraph 3, the pup ________.
A. grows slowly
B. is born in winter
C. is born under the sea
D. is covered with thick fur
【3】The pup begins learning to swim and dive when it is about ________.
A. two days old B. two weeks old
C. two months old D. two years old
【4】For a young Weddell seal, ________.
A. its father’s help is important
B. getting onto the ice shelf is easy
C. finding the breathing hole is easy
D. learning to hunt for food is unnecessary
24、Nothing beats live music, but the venue makes a difference. When you're able to score tickets to an incredible concert in an incredible place, you won't forget the experience.

Sydney Opera House, Sydney, Australia
The Sydney Opera House is one of the world's most famous performing venues. I's also one of the most distinctive buildings in Sydney, thanks to the breathtaking design by Danish architect Utzon.

25、Some of my earliest memories involve greeting my dad every night when he came home from the office. First, he’d ______ his personal items away: his wallet, comb and car keys would always occupy the same spot on the table.
