A reference book.BKevin Carroll is one of the worlds leading scientists. Besides his work with people, he has designed prosthetics (
18、假肢) for dogs and even a duck. And now he is working on Winter.Winter, an Atlantic dolphin, is a playful two-year-old. She was found off the coast of Florida, caught in a trap. When she arrived at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, CEO David Yates said her condition was serious.“The first few days, we r
19、eally didnt think shed live at all. 24-hour around-the-clock care was provided by our veterinary (兽医) staff, our animal care staff, and our volunteers who literally watched her every second of the day,” Yates said.Winter survived, but she lost her tail. Without a tail, she can neither swim as fast n
20、or jump as high as a normal dolphin. “She has had to get used to swimming without a tail. We didnt know if she could do that,” he said.Winters swimming style changed from up and down to side to side. Veterinarians were concerned that this unusual swimming form might change the long-term health of he
21、r spine (脊柱). The vets, therefore, began to explore how to design a prosthetic tail for Winter. Carroll called Winters caretakers after he got word of the need for a prosthetic tail, and he offered his services.Designing a prosthesis for a dolphin was a trickier process than Carroll expected. He sai
22、d, “With a person, when we fit a prosthesis, we have one long, firm bone. We dont have to have it moving in every direction. With a dolphin, it needs to move along with her whole spine.” Teaching Winter how to use the prosthetic device (设备) also presents a challenge. Carroll will have to help her to
23、 learn how to once again swim up and down like a typical dolphin.“Its going to be powerful seeing her coming out of the water with that tail,” Carroll said. “I know shes going to do it. Were really looking forward to that.”24. What can we infer about Winter from Yates words? A. She was slightly hurt
24、.B. She recovered sooner than expected. C. She failed to receive timely medical care.D. She was treated attentively and watchfully.25. Why did Carroll decide to offer help? A. To save Winters life. B. To enable Winter to swim normally. C. To help Winter get back to water. D. To assist Winter in adap

What is Carrolls attitude to Winters new device? A. He has high hopes for it. B. He has doubts about it. C. He is uninterested in it.D. He is thank
26、ful for it.CJaguar Land Rover has released new technology designed to constantly monitor drivers and passengers in order to adjust settings to match their mood (情绪). The carmaker has tested a special system which uses a camera to film drivers to monitor their facial expressions.If the system detects
27、 a driver who is stressed, it can automatically turn on calming mood lighting. The car could respond to a driver who was tired by lowering the cars temperature, or by beginning to play a specific playlist of music. The carmaker has also developed headrest cameras to monitor the facial expressions of
28、 passengers. If the cameras detect sleepiness, then the car can automatically dim (使变暗) the passenger lighting to help people go to sleep. Jaguar Land Rover said that the system also uses artificial intelligence to learn peoples preferences, so that it could automatically adjust a cars settings base
29、d on their previous interactions with the car.Dr Steve Iley, Jaguar Land Rover chief medical officer, said, “As we move towards a self-driving future, the focus for us remains as much on the driver as it ever has.”“By considering the overall behavior of drivers, and using much of what weve learned f
30、rom the advances in research around personal well-being over the last 10 or 15 years, we can make sure our customers remain comfortable, involved and alert behind the wheel in all driving situations, even motorway journeys.”The system is still being developed and is not yet available in cars, Jaguar
31、 Land Rover said.In 2015, the company released a similar system which monitors drivers to detect signs of sleepiness. The system is now in use in Jaguar cars, and alerts drivers when they become too sleepy.28. What is Jaguar Land Rovers new invention? A. An automatically adjusted headrest.B. An inte

It is doubted by customers. C. It still needs to be improved.D. It is widely used in Jaguar cars.DWhen
34、we buy something new, we get rid of whats old. That cycle of consumption has made electronics waste the worlds fastest-growing solid-waste stream, which is expected to grow as the world upgrades to 5G.While promising faster speeds and other benefits, 5G will result in a dramatic increase in e-waste.
35、 Thats good business for ERI, which charges customers to collect their electronics and to securely wipe their data. But less than a quarter of U. S. electronic waste is recycled, the rest ending up as rubbish, posing environmental risks.Part of the problem concerns regulation (法规). In states without
36、 laws banning electronics from the regular trash, electronics often end up in garbage and recycling bins. Even when e-waste rules exist, its left to consumers to handle their old devices properly. But recycling them can be a pain. Rather than drop a used phone in a bin, lots of people have to take t
37、heir electronics to a store, which may pay them for it or charge them to get rid of it. Many consumers simply throw their devices into the trash or throw them in a drawer.One solution is to make electronics last as long as they once did. Yet, technology companies are speeding the pace of being deser
38、ted. “Its a strategy by producers to force us into shorter upgrade cycles,” said Kyle Wiens, the founder of iFixit, which publishes do-it-yourself repair guides.Some environmental groups say big companies like Apple and Samsung should pick up the cost of recycling the devices they sell. Lawmakers ha
39、ve passed Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws, which require producers to establish and fund systems to recycle or collect abandoned products.Some companies are increasing their recycling efforts on their own. For instance, Apple in 2018 introduced Daisy, a smartphone-recycling robot that ca
40、n take apart 200 iPhones every hour. But thats a drop in the bucket compared with the 50 million tons of e-waste generated globally last year.32. Whats the problem 5G technology will cause?A. Failure in some traditional business. B. Faster and shorter cycle of electronics.C. Many electronics ending
41、up as waste. D. Added cost to recycling old electronics.33. How does Kyle Wiens view the act of technology companies?A. They design to shorten the life cycle of products.B. They struggle to provide goods with good quality.C. They have a short life cycle because of the market.D. They are trying to co
42、llect their abandoned products.34. Whats the duty that Daisy performs daily?A. Funding to collect abandoned iPhones. B. Guiding people on do-it-yourself repair.C. Checking environmental risks of phones. D. Taking apart smartphones automatically.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Choice for R
43、ecycled Smartphones B. Dealing with the Mountain of E-wasteC. Bad Effect of 5G on the Environment D. Apple on Its Duty for Nature Protection第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Is Society Too Dependent On Technology?Just think, what would happen if your computer, iPad
44、or laptop crashed today? What if someone took away your phone for some days or perhaps you lost it? If thinking about these incidences makes you stressed, you are not alone. 36 Most of us cannot go for a minute without looking at our phones and the fear of the battery dying is huge. If you happen to
45、 work in offices you may be familiar with this trend. 37 Anyway, its true. How can work continue if its hard to send an email to a colleague or customer? This is common in almost all offices. 38 Those evening games after school are over; watching cartoons on a Sunday or playing with friends are no l
46、onger there. Today, most kids remain indoors playing computer games or with a smart phone. Technology has taken all their time.Society may have gone too far in technology dependence. It has become so huge that doctors have recommended for “technology detox”. 39 If not, according to Oxford Dictionary
47、, Technology Detox is a period during which an individual avoids using any electronic devices including computers, smart phones, etc., as a chance to reduce stress and focus on social interaction in the outside world.Well, the choice remains in our hands. We must agree that society is being carried
48、away by the increased inventions being introduced in our lives today. 40 Meanwhile, we should have the discipline to turn it off when we are supposed to experience life in reality.A. Perhaps you may have heard of it.B. We appreciate technology since it has its benefits.C. If the Internet is down, al
