26、What if there was a kind of technology that could help someone with low or no vision increase their spatial (空间的) awareness? Eugene Choi, Raffu Khondaker, Irfan Nafi and Pranav Ravella founded Team Atheia and set out to do just that. The four teenagers are students at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Virginia, US.
“We noticed that the computer-vision field has gotten to a point where it could detect objects with really good accuracy and describe a scene just like a human would,” Choi told IEEE Spectrum magazine. “The immediate application we thought of was a visual aid for people with low or no vision.”
Since 2019, they had been attempting to make an assistive (辅助的) device in the form of a glove with a camera—but it failed. They realized that they lacked input from potential users. So they used Facebook to find people with vision problems and ask about their needs. Based on the feedback collected, the team scrapped the glove and started developing wrist- and head-worn devices and eventually a mobile app.
After spending hundreds of dollars of their own money and much experimentation，they finally had a working prototype (原型). By adopting the latest computer-vision models and machine learning techniques, the students’ app Atheia can accurately recognize, count and pinpoint (精准确定) objects in the user’s field of view. It can even answer open-ended questions about the person's environment, such as the shapes and sizes of objects or the time of day.
Their app’s data is processed locally on the mobile device instead of through a cloud service. This means they can fulfill user requests regardless of whether they have a cellular signal (蜂窝信号).“Through our testing, we realized how critical it was to serve our users no matter where they were,” Ravella told Congressional App Challenge. “It was an immense(极大的) challenge to convert our huge，heavy computer-vision models into something an iPhone could run. But thanks to Apple’s Neural Engine, it was possible—and worth it.”
Compared to other assistive devices for the blind, Atheia will charge its users an affordable monthly subscription (订阅) fee of around $10 (about 63.7 yuan), and it will be available only on iOS.
【1】What do we know about Atheia?
A．It can remove physical barriers for people with no vision.
B．It can answer all questions raised by users.
C．It’s more expensive than other similar devices.
D．It can help the blind improve spatial awareness.
【2】What does the underlined word “scrapped'” most likely mean in paragraph 3?
A．Adjusted.
B．Abandoned.
C．Adopted.
D．Upgraded.
【3】What was a big challenge that the students faced?
A．They didn’t know the needs of their target users
B．They lacked the money to use the latest technology.
C．Their models were too big for an iPhone to run.
D．They found it difficult to popularize their product.
【4】Which of the following best describes the students?
A．Ambitious and sociable.
B．Creative and humorous.
C．Intelligent and modest.
D．Innovative and determined.

28、 It was in April and a bit of a storm was around the corner. I had been out visiting friends in the Hutt Valley and at about 9:30 pm I was driving my car home when the strong wind and the pouring rain came. Apart from one other car in front of me there was no traffic on the road.
At Point Howard I saw the red flashing light bounce off the seaward hillock (小丘) before I saw the police car. I pulled up behind the other car and the policeman said the road was badly flooded and asked if I could stay somewhere in the Hutt Valley.
The other driver was eager to give it a go, so we were allowed through but were told to keep an eye on each other. I soon lost sight of the vehicle (车辆) in front. In Sorrento Bay a huge wave hit the car and pushed it to the side of the road, which scared the pants off me.
I drove through the sea water and rain and managed to get around the bluff (陡岸) into Lowry Bay, where I had to feel the way around fallen trees, hitting one that was hidden by the driving spray (水花). I eventually made it home and rang the police to report how bad it had been. I was told the road had been closed immediately after we had passed through so we were the last vehicles to get to Eastbourne that night.
After the ship Wahine sank, I volunteered with some of my friends to assist around the Pencarrow Coast the next morning. However, the police refused to let local people through to help. Later in the day, with the waters of the harbour having calmed, I saved two people along the beach and reported them to the police. It was a comfort to help two people after the huge storm.

29、One Friday night, my family stayed in the family room to watch a movie together. We prepared popcorn and other snacks, but poor Iron Man on the screen was getting no attention.
My husband was playing a video game. My 14-year-old son was watching a YouTube video, laughing so loudly at what he had happened to find that he decided to text it to us—while we were all sitting in the room together. His message interrupted my own social media browsing (浏览) and finally I realized that we were a family of addicts. Screens had become our entertainment, our social lives and more scarily, our way of communicating.
Things had to change. So I did what any modern parent might do: I went upstairs to our modem (调制解调器) and I simply turned it off. As extreme as this may sound, I knew it would work. My father-in-law was actually the inspiration for my action. Whenever he thought his children were watching too much TV, he’d walk over to the switch and turn it off. He’d tell them there must have been a fault with their old TV set, and they’d believe him. Everyone would leave the room and find a book to read or head outside instead.
I went back downstairs and, without screens to take their attention away, my husband and my son looked directly at me, which felt like the first time in weeks. I told them there was something wrong with the Internet and we’d have to play a board game instead. I pulled out our family favorite-Settlers of Catan (卡坦岛桌面游戏)—and hoped for the best. There were some complaints. But, within a few minutes, we were trading cards, trading stories, and, most importantly, trading screens for conversation.
【1】Why didn’t the family focus on Iron Man?
A．They were busy eating popcorn.
B．They found another funny video.
C．They had their own entertainment.
D．They had watched this film before.
【2】What is the author’s purpose of writing the story of her father-in-law?
A．To call on parents to be strict with their children.
B．To explain why she chose to turn the modern off.
C．To encourage readers to leave the room and go outside.
D．To show readers her father in-law was good at parenting.
【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．The family played together.
B．The child kept complaining.
C．The family went to bed early.
D．The father went to fix the network.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Watch a Movie Together
B．A Family of Internet Addicts
C．The Way to Educate Children

31、根据文中上下文及所给的首字母，写出各单词的正确、完全形式。
Several years ago, when I was working in a school, a thin boy showed up in my office. It was David. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family,“ he wrote. “He is very sad and r【1】 to talk to others, and I'm very w【2】 about him. Can you help?”
Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and patiently.
The first two times we met, David didn't say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children's drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He n【3】. After that, he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon—in complete s【4】, without a word.
Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess b【5】and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he e【6】 my company. But why did he never look at me?
"Perhaps he simply needs someone to s【7】 his pain with, "I thought. Perhaps he sensed that I respect his suffering." Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.
"It's your t【8】,” he said.
After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. Now he has really started to live his own life.
Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one, w【9】 any words, can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear for the w【10】 heart.
32、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。
One Saturday afternoon, I was watching TV in the living room with my grandpa when a blinding flash of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a deafening sound, and the pictures on TV disappeared with that sound. Before I realized what had happened, a gray-white shadow rushed in through the open window and flew over my head. Bang! It hit the wall and slid off to the floor. Shaking with fear, I approached it cautiously and saw that it was a pigeon. It looked at me in fear, trying to open its wings and struggling its feet, but apparently powerless.
So I called my grandpa and immediately set out to give it a helping hand. Taking it in my hands, I felt a few drops of warmth on my hands. It was blood! I gently spread its wings and there were a few red feathers inside. “Don’t worry. We’ll get it out alive,” Grandpa said to me. Then he got the first-aid kit. With some cotton, we dried the blood, cleaned the wound and then put it under a hairdryer to dry. All went smoothly, for the pigeon had no strength left to resist. There happened to be an empty birdcage at home, so I put it in gently and added a little water and some grains.
For the next few days, the moment I got home from school, I would run to feed the pigeon. And Grandpa helped a lot, tidying up the cage daily. Little by little, its strength returned. One evening, I fed it with the biscuit I was eating. It enjoyed it! One week later, its wound almost healed (痊愈); its feathers grew and it became brave. Whenever I sat at the table eating biscuits, it looked up at me, cooing (咕咕地叫) constantly. To my joy, I could also reach into the cage to touch it. When I gently fingered its head, it playfully pecked (啄) at me. Finally it completely recovered. But every time I was with it, it seemed restless in the cage. To make it happy and pretty, I tied an orange string (线)around its leg.
注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
One day, however, when I returned home, Grandpa met me at the door, looking embarrassed.
