22、 Close to the North Pole, remote and rocky Plateau Mountain in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard seems an unlikely spot for any global effort to safeguard agriculture. In this cold and deserted environment, no grains, no gardens, no trees can grow. Yet at the end of a 130-meter-long tunnel cut out of solid stone is a room filled with humanity’s most precious treasure, the largest and most diverse seed collection—more than a half-billion seeds.
A quiet rescue mission is under way. With growing evidence that unchecked climate change will seriously affect food production and threaten the diversity of crops around the world, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault represents a major step towards ensuring the preservation of hundreds of thousands of crop varieties. This is a seed collection, but more importantly, it is a collection of the traits found within the seeds: the genes that give one variety resistance to a particular pest and another variety tolerance for hot, dry weather.
Few people will ever see or come into contact with the contents of this vault. In sealed boxes, behind multiple locked doors, monitored by electronic security systems, enveloped in below-zero temperatures, and surrounded by tons of rock, hundreds of millions of seeds are protected in their mountain fortress. Frozen in such conditions inside the mountain, seeds of most major crops will remain viable for hundreds of years, or longer. Seeds of some are capable of retaining their ability to grow for thousands of years.
Everyone can look back now and say that the Seed Vault was a good and obvious idea, and that of course the Norwegian government should have approved and funded it. But back in 2004, when the Seed Vault was proposed, it was viewed as a crazy, impractical, and expensive idea.
We knew that nothing would provide a definite guarantee. But we were tired, fed up, and frankly scared of the steady, greater losses of crop diversity. The Seed Vault was built by optimists who wanted to do something to preserve options so that humanity and its crops might be better prepared for change. If it simply resupplied seed gene banks with samples those gene banks had lost, this would repay our efforts.
The Seed Vault is about hope and commitment——about what can be done if countries come together and work cooperatively to accomplish something significant, long-lasting, and worthy of who we are and wish to be.
【1】What is the Seed Vault according to the passage?
A．It’s a tunnel where the collected seeds are displayed.
B．It’s a stone room that contains the seeds of endangered crops.
C．It’s a seed gene bank that stores diverse seeds for future agriculture.
D．It’s a lab where researchers study how to maintain the diversity of crops.
【2】What does the underlined word “viable” in Paragraph 3 probably means?
A．Mature.
B．Alive.
C．Clean.
D．Valuable.
【3】What does Paragraph 3 mainly tells us?
A．How the seeds are preserved.
B．Where people keep the seeds.
C．Why the seeds are protected.
D．What people do to study the seeds.
【4】We can know from the passage that ________.
A．the Seed Vault offers a solution to climate change.
B．most countries took part in rescuing the seed varieties.
C．the Seed Vault guarantees to prevent the loss of crop diversity.
D．many people originally considered building the Seed Vault unwise.

24、 Researchers from the University of Bath have developed motion capture technology that enables you to digitize（数字化）your dog with only one camera. The software could be used for a wide range of purposes, from helping vets diagnose lameness（跛）and monitoring recovery of their dog patients, to behavior supervision.
The University of Bath's motion capture research centre digitised the movement of 14 different breeds of dogs. Wearing special doggie motion capture suits with markers, the dogs were filmed under the supervision of scientists doing a range of movements. They used these data to create a computer model that can accurately predict and copy the poses of dogs when they re filmed without wearing the motion capture suits. This model allows 3D digital information for new dogs-their shape and movement-to be captured without markers and expensive equipment, but using a single RGBD camera instead.
The researcher Kearney said, “This is the first time RGBD images have been used to track the motion of dogs using a single camera, which is much more affordable than traditional motion capture systems that require multiple cameras. This technology allows us to study the movement of animals, which is useful for applications such as detecting lameness in a dog and measuring its recovery over time.”
The team has also started testing their method on digital images of other four-legged animals including horses, cats, lions and gorillas, with some promising results. They aim in the future to extend their animal dataset to make the results more accurate；they will also be making the dataset available for non-commercial use by others. “Our research is a step towards building accurate 3D models of animal motion along with technologies that allow us to very easily measure their movement.” said Kearney.
【1】What is special about the new software mentioned in Para 1?
A．It equips your dog with a motion capture suit.
B．It can be useful for pets to behave themselves.
C．It helps you monitor dogs using only one camera.
D．It offers a wide range of entertainment applications.
【2】What is necessary to make sure a single RGBD camera works?
A．A special computer model must be set up in advance.
B．The dogs must wear motion capture suits without markers.
C．The dogs must be in the supervision of multiple cameras.
D．3D digital information must be sent into the cameras.
【3】What is the next step of the new technology according to Kearney?
A．To make the dataset available for more profits.
B．To make more accurate models of animal diseases.
C．To extend the animal dataset to improve its accuracy.
D．To test RGBD cameras on other four-legged animals.
【4】What's the main purpose of the passage?
A．To encourage a new method of safe dog-walking.
B．To introduce a new motion capture technology.
C．To explain the applications of diagnosing dogs' diseases.
D．To prove the efcts of the technology on different animals.
