22、 Using a computer used to mean clicking at a mouse. Then it meant tapping on a touchscreen. Increasingly, it means simply speaking. A smartphone’s voice assistant processes 25 billion requests a month.
One group, though, has been left behind. The World Health Organisation counts 430 million people as deaf or hard of hearing. Many use sign languages to communicate. Normally, they cannot use those languages to talk to computers. 【1】
People have tried to teach computers to understand sign languages. There have been plenty of claims of breakthroughs in recent years. So-called solutions range from special gloves that capture the wearer’s finger movements to software that detects distinct hand shapes. 【2】 In practical contexts, no case of feasibility is evident. Deaf people are more than ever disassociated from digital community.
It is easy to see why. Gloves are similar to body-worn cameras. Both require users to adapt to the needs of hearing people. Hand-shape recognition, while useful, cannot by itself handle the full complexity of sign languages. Some projects have been complimented as offering cheap alternatives to human interpreters in places like hospitals, police stations or classrooms. 【3】
But things are improving. Research groups, which increasingly include deaf scientists, are asking how technology can best serve deaf people’s interests. Students of sign languages are compiling databases, known as corpora, full of examples of how the sign languages are used. Programmers are trying to turn them into useful products.
As with spoken languages, sign languages possess their own grammar, idioms and dialects. Again like spoken languages, the hard-and-fast rules of grammar books do not really capture the subtleties of everyday usage. Single signs can be shorthand for complex ideas. Like speakers, signers often take shortcuts, such as representing two-handed signs with a single hand. 【4】 Therefore, ways to get them easily across are vital to true understanding and communication.
A．They are criticized for somewhat sacrificing formality for conveniences.
B．These solutions, despite certain disadvantages, serve, in a way, as answers to the deaf people’s urgent needs.
C．They face the risk of being excluded from the digitalization that is taking over everyday life.
D．However, the cost of even small errors can be very high.
E．Correctly interpreting all these is much harder than recognizing spoken syllables or written letters.
F．They have won applause while isolating the very people for whom they are designed.
23、 The fact that your hair turns grey because of stress is nothing more than an old wives' tale. It's true that stress isn't good for you, but it's not going to turn you into a silver fox just yet. In fact, the answer comes from the cells in your hair. These are what decide the color and, eventually, the fade to grey.
Most of us start to notice our first grey hairs by the time we hit our thirties. A general rule to go by is that by the age of 50,half of the population will have lost the color in 50 percent of their hair.
But why does it happen? Firstly, we need to understand how hair gets its color.
Your hair is made up of cells called melanocytes(黑色素细胞) which produce pigments(色素) as they grow into the hair fiber. There are two different types of melanins: eumelanins and pheomelanins. The former produces black and brown pigments, while the latter produces red and yellow pigments. The exact amount of these pigments decides whether a person has black, brown, blonde or red hair.
As we age, the ability of the melanocytes to produce more pigments weakens. That's because our hair grows in different periods.
The growing period lasts between three and five years, after which our follicles(毛囊) turn off for about three months to rest and get ready to grow more hairs. This goes round and round and, after a time, our bodies aren't as good at producing new hairs.
Scientists are continuing to try and find ways to prevent greying hair. A team of scientists in France is working to try and stop the melanocytes from being damaged at the end of each hair cycle. They are trying to use a special enzyme(酶) to protect the cells from damage. If successful, it could lead the way for new products that keep our hair full of color for years to come.
【1】The phrase “an old wives' tale” in Paragraph 1 probably mean________？
A.a wrong belief B.useful talk
C.a scientific rule D.helpful experience
【2】What do we know about red hair?
A.It doesn't turn grey as people get older.
B.It contains more pheomelanin’s than eumelanin’s.
C.The amount of pigments in it doesn't change over time.
D.People with red hair have weaker ability to produce pigments.
【3】What do the French scientists aim to do?
A.To repair damaged hair follicles.
B.To protect hair cells against damage.
C.To shorten the hair cycle to protect the hair.
D.To study the relationship between health and hair color.
【4】What can we infer from the article?
A.Grey hair has nothing to do with stress.
B.Grey hair is a symbol of declining health.
C.It takes three months for new hair to grow.
D.The growth and color change of hair depend on cells.
24、NASA has made history today, conducting the very first powered flight on another planet. The Mars Helicopter Ingenuity (机智号) successfully took to the Red Planet skies for a brief journey, which will hopefully be the first of several.
Along with accumulating 30 minutes and 48 seconds of flight time, the helicopter has traveled over the surface a distance of 2.2 miles, flying as high as 12 meters and as fast as 5 meters per second.
Flying a craft for a few seconds might not sound like too big an accomplishment, but it’s quite a remarkable achievement of engineering. Ingenuity is flying in conditions unlike any possible on Earth - the gravity on Mars is only one-third as strong as Earth’s, and the atmosphere is extremely thin, at just one percent the density compared to the Earth. Combined with the extreme cold and a lengthy radio delay, the mission has got a lot that can go wrong.
And it already has. After surviving its first cold night on Mars, Ingenuity was set to take off on April 11, but a software error during a high-speed spin test of its rotors (螺旋桨) on April 9 threw a spanner in the works. After troubleshooting the issue, NASA developed a fix and beamed a software update to the Red Planet. If all goes to plan, NASA will conduct a few more flights over the next few weeks, sending Ingenuity higher and farther each time.
“Now, 117 years after the Wright brothers succeeded in making the first flight on our planet, NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter has left this amazing footprint of success on another world,” says Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA Associate Administrator for Science. “While these two symbolic moments in NASA history may be separated by time and 173 million miles of space, they now will forever be linked. To show respect for the two bicycle makers from Dayton, this first of many airfields on other worlds will now be known as Wright Brothers Field, in recognition of the ingenuity and creativity that continue to encourage exploration.”
【1】What makes the flight of Ingenuity on Mars challenging?
A．The bad air quality on Mars.
B．The doubled gravity on Mars.
C．Both severe cold and not punctual radio.
D．The changing weather conditions of Mars.
【2】Which of the following best explains “threw a spanner in the works“ underlined in paragraph 4?
A．Caused problems.
B．Found faults.
C．Repaired damage.
D．Solved crisis.
【3】Why are the Wright brothers mentioned by Thomas Zurbuchen?
A．To encourage more airplane designs.
B．To promote the spirit of ingenuity and creativity.
C．To recognize the great contributions of the Wright brothers.
D．To highlight the meaningfulness of the Ingenuity’s journey to Mars.
【4】Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A．A Successful Exploration on Mars
B．A Promising Future of Ingenuity Helicopter
C．NASA’s Ingenuity Helicopter Faces Great Challenges
D．NASA’s Ingenuity Helicopter Makes Historic First Flight

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Never give up! Never give up!” chanted(吟唱)my two young children, Max and Charley, as they marched barefoot behind their grandmother Mimi. My mom Mimi was leading Max and Charley on another adventure,straight off the beach where they’d spent the day building sand castles and playing in the waves. This time, they were seeking an ice-cream truck.
Over the years, Mimi had become our family’s tower of positivity. It wasn’t a title she earned without effort, however. Having been a single mother at only forty years old and left to raise me and my ten-year-old brother alone, she faced countless challenges. She had been the one who had to make the decision to remove our dad from life support fourteen days after he was in a car accident.
My mom could have lived under a black cloud. Instead, she challenged herself to find joy every day. She was always up for a new challenge, whether that was hiking across the high mountaintop in Austria to get a better view of the breathtaking beauty or signing up for tap-dancing classes at fifty. Leading by example, Mom taught us just how much one could accomplish with a positive attitude.
She has taken the same approach in her relationship with her grandchildren. Before starting her adventure with Max and Charley on that hot July afternoon, Mimi heard the familiar clang(叮当声)of the ice-cream man＇s bell from her beach chair. She turned and saw him briefly，spotting his shining green shirt and catching the gleam(闪光)of his waving bell before he turned and disappeared. Happily, the ice-cream man’s visit was a daily occurrence on the beach, although the time between the sound of his bell and the departure of his truck wasn’t long. One must be quick to catch him.
Max and Charley were disappointed when they didn’t catch him in time that day. Mimi smiled and said, “Never give up!” She explained that the truck might be gone, but they could hurry off to find it at its next stop.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
