By setting up a platform.B This little South American Magellanic penguin swims 5,000 miles, to a beach in Brazil, every year in order to be reunited with the man who saved
18、its life. It sounds like something out of a fairy tale, but its true!71-year-old retired brick worker Joao, who lives in an island village just outside Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, found the small Magellanic penguin lying on rocks at his local beach in 2011. The penguin was covered in oil and running out
19、 of time fast. Joao rescued the penguin, naming it Din, cleaned the oil off its feathers and fed him a daily diet of fish to rebuild its strength. After a week of recovery, Joao attempted to release the penguin back into the wild. However, Din had already formed a family bond with his rescuer and wo
20、uldnt leave.“He stayed with me for 11 months and then, just after he changed his coat with new feathers, he disappeared,” Joao recalls. “I love the penguin like its my own child and I believe the penguin loves me,” Joao told Globo TV. “No one else is allowed to touch him. He pecks (啄) them if they d
21、o. He lies on my lap, lets me give him showers, and allows me to feed him.”Professor Krajewski, a biologist who interviewed the fisherman for Globo TV, told The Independent: “I have never seen anything like this before. I think the penguin believes Joao is part of his family and probably a penguin a
22、s well.”However, environmentalists warn that, while hundreds of the Magellanic species are known to naturally migrate (迁徙) thousands of miles north in search of food, there has been a worrying rise in the phenomenon of oceanic creatures washing up on Brazils beaches. Professor David Zee from Rio de
23、Janeiros State University, said the increase is due in part to global climatic changes. Professor Zee added that sea animals face increased danger from leaked tanker oil.Luckily the ending for Joao and Din has been a happy one, even though it is illegal in Brazil to keep wild animals as pets.Profess
24、or Krajewski said: “Professionals who work with animals try to avoid relationships like this occurring so they are able to reintroduce the animal into the wild. But in this single case the authorities allowed Din to stay with Joao because of his kindness.”24What is the purpose of Din swimming a long
25、 distance to the beach in Brazil every year?ATo avoid being killed.BTo meet his rescuer.CTo escape from ocean currents.DTo find much more fish.25What happened to him when Din was found in 2011？AHe was going to die.BHe was running on the beach.CHe was resting on a rockDHe was cleaning oil off his fea

27、What does the story in the passage mainly shows us?AThe environmental impact on wildlife.BThe love between humans and wildlife.CThe tendency of wildlife to bond with humans.DThe protection of threatened wildlife by mankind.CPeople walk almost an extra mile each day if they have an activity tracker o
28、n their smartphone or watch, a study has found.Researchers analyzed dozens of studies comparing peoples exercise activity with and without a tracking app, and found that being able to keep tabs on progress boosted how far people walked or ran. The studies involved a total of 7,454 people.Overall, pe
29、ople walked an average of 1,850 more steps if they had an app - a significant increase in daily workouts. Most people take somewhere around 2,000 steps to walk a mile.Authors of the study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, said doctors might consider prescribing(开处方) such apps and
30、 trackers for patients looking to get fitter.Just 4,400 steps a day tied to women living longer, study says.Interventions(介入) using smartphone apps or activity trackers seem promising from a clinical and public health perspective, the authors wrote.Given the wide and increasing reach of smartphones,
31、 even modest improvements in physical activity can produce large effects at the population level.The study looked at research conducted mainly in the United States, and less than a third of the subjects involved were women, so its unclear how widespread the findings would be.The average number of st

33、using such apps and trackers? A. To replace medicine. B. To help keep healthy. C. To communicate with them. D. To record their health condition. 30.

34、1. What do we know about the study?A. It involved mainly men. B. It involved a total of 4,400 people.C. It was applied widely around the world. D. It was published in an American magazine. DTo move visual technology into the future, sometimes it helps to make a little noise. Researchers have used so
35、und waves to produce floating 3-D images, create a sense of touch and even supply a soundtrack.Since the 1940s, scientists have toyed with the concept of acoustic levitation(声悬浮), the use of soundwave vibrations(震动) to trap tiny things in midair. The technology has gained greater capabilities in the
36、 past decade. Some researchers believe this improvement could lead to applications such as contributing to novel 3-D printing methods, or creating displays that would be visible from any angle without requiring a screen.Other researchers have also worked on visual displays that use acoustic levitati
37、on. In addition to visuals, the system can also produce audible noise to give the display a soundtrack. And the ultrasound speakers can also concentrate vibrations in one spot so that a finger might feel a sense pushing backa little like the object shown by the floating image is really there. Soundw
38、aves create a 3-D display!Display without a screen is remarkably useful. It means that everybody in the room can see the imageany angle, locationand thats extremely helpful. As a communications system, such a display might one day allow users to chat with a 3-D projection(投影) of a person who can tur
39、n his or her head to follow as they move around a room.The display will require a lot more work before you can install it in your living room, however. So far, this has been done in the research laboratory. We need to push it a little bit harder. We need to do more analysis to see if it would make s
40、ense to create a real display that people would have at home. The current system can only show simple graphics, such as a smiley face or figure eight, in real time.Still, we are optimistic about the potential for this type of technology. If the system had only one speaker-covered surface instead of
41、two, it could generate images that are bigger than the device itself. We cant make a TV image thats bigger than the TVeven a projector has to have a projection screen thats bigger than the image itself. But with a volumetric(容积的) display, a small, portable device might produce a much larger picture.
42、 We can imagine, in the future, having volumetric displays in watches, for example, that create large images that just project out of your watch.32From the first two paragraphs soundwave vibrations can be used to _.Acatch very small objects in midairBdevelop 3-D printers capabilitiesCreplace a creat
