Their car, called the Zem, is equipped with a special filter (过滤器) that cleans up the CO2 produced by other cars on the road.The Zem was born out of a challenge to build a completely carbon-neutral vehicle. Its body panels (金属板) were 3D printed to reduce waste and minimize the production of CO2. Recycled plastics were also used throughout the outside and inside. The car’s powertrain, which consists of small battery packs and a 22-kWh motor, also makes use of regenerative braking to increase efficiency.The real difference maker, though, is the vehicle’s special CO2 filter. The Zem purifies (净化) the air through the special filter while driving, capturing the CO2 and storing it. It is able to absorb two kg of CO2 for 20,000 miles a year, meaning ten cars could store as much carbon dioxide as an average tree — a significant amount when considering the world’s billion cars are currently one of its leading sources of emissions.Even if the technology isn’t adopted, the team hope that their car can inspire automakers to start making cleaner vehicles. “We want to encourage the industry by showing what is already possible,” the leader of the team said. “If 35 students can design, develop and buildan almost carbon-neutral car in a year, then there are also opportunities and possibilities for the industry.”The Zem is the second zero-emission vehicle we’ve seen come out of the Eindhoven University of Technology. Last year, another team of students created the Stella Vita, a solar-powered vehicle that could travel up to 450 miles a day. We can’t wait to see what the school’s students come up with next.8．Why can the Zem absorb CO2?A．It is battery-powered.B．It has a special filter.C．It is created by using 3D pinting.D．It has reusable body panels.9．What do we know about the building of the Zem?A．It is time-consuming.B．It is financially secure.C．It is physically demanding.D．It is environmentally-friendly. 10．What can be inferred about the Zem from the fourth paragraph?A．It can capture the CO2 and dispose it.B．It is able to absorb CO2 as much as a tree.C．It has a huge potential to reduce pollution.D．It can run 20,000 miles on a single charge.11．What does the author expect the students to do?A．Invest in research.B．Inspire confidence.C．Innovate further.D．Introduce technology.When my Aunt Nicki visits me in London, we avoid musical theater and the cinema. Aunt Nicki is hard of hearing. Although there are many enhanced listening devices available to help her, such as a closed captioning (配字幕的) screen that sits in a cup holder, she tells me they don’t work well enough.When I recently tried on the new “smart caption glasses” at the Royal National Theatre, I had her on my mind. The theater is testing a pilot program for the technology and plans to make the glasses available for all of its performances next year. When you look through them, closed captions scroll (滚动) across the bottom. A handheld keypad is attached to the glasses through cable (电缆线) to allow each user to customize the color, size and position of the closed captions. Changing the positioning of the text is key for user comfort.The biggest challenge is finding the sweet spot of balancing the captions in theforeground with the theater performance in the background. The lines of the play are fed into speech software, which follows the performance and adjusts the captions accordingly. “If a performer jumps a few lines, the system will react,” said Jonathan Suffolk, the technical director for the Royal National Theatre. “It will take a second or two but the system will react and it will recognize where it is.”Richard France — who works for a group called Deafinitely Theatre, which creates performances for both the deaf and hearing communities — has worked with many different technologies but calls the smart glasses a potential game changer. “This new technology allows the deaf and hard of hearing to have complete access,” he said. “It’s really amazing how far we’ve advanced and how it has positively affected the quality of life for people who are deaf and hard of hearing.”So perhaps the next time Aunt Nicki comes to London, we’ll be able to catch a show together.12．Why does the author mention Aunt Nicki in paragraph 1?A．To present his opinion.B．To introduce the topic.C．To provide an example.D．To give the background.13．How do users control the closed captions on smart glasses?A．By using a handheld keypad.B．By turning on the hidden text.C．By scrolling across the bottom.D．By sending speech recognition. 14．What can we infer about the speech system according to Jonathan Suffolk?A．It fails to find the balance point.B．It sometimes misses a few lines.C．It responds to performers quickly.D．It refuses to change captions on thescreen.15．Which can be a suitable title for the text?A．Smart Glasses: A Game Changer B．Smart Glasses: A Symbol of HopeC．Smart Glasses: A Solution to Blindness D．Smart Glasses: A Revolution to Theatres 二、七选五三、完形填空五、其他应用文46．假定你是李华，你的加拿大笔友Bob来信介绍了他在学校的体育活动，并询问你校的体育活动情况，请你给他写一封回信。

A& Juliet Musical on BroadwayShe’s stronger than yesterday!Following a successful three-year run in London’s West End, the pop musical Juliet is now on Broadway with nine Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical.What is & Juliet about?It kicks off nearly where Romeo & Juliet left off: right before Juliet’s death. This isn’t a retelling of Shakespeare’s tragedy, though. It’s a whole new story in which Juliet decides losing Romeo doesn’t mean she should die. Instead, she goes on a journey of self-discovery to Paris. Accompanied by her friends, including some characters from the original play, like the nurse, as well as new characters, like her friends Francois and May, she goes to parties, makes new friends, and sees what the world has to offer beyond the walls of Verona.What songs are in & Juliet?You may listen to top 40 radio, but you’ve never heard your favorite songs like this.& Juliet has one new song, but the show mostly includes existing popular music. All 30 pop songs in & Juliet were written or co-written by Max Martin, who’s behind the hits of stars like Britney Spears, Katy Perry, and The Backstreet Boys. Anyone who grew up with, or just knows all the words to, hits from the 90s through today will relive their teenage dreams at this show.More information about & JulietSince having its world premiere (首映) in 2019 in London’s West End, & Juliet made its North American debut in Toronto and also its Australian premiere in Melbourne in February 2023.Pick your tickets1. What happens to Juliet in the musical?A. She follows Romeo’s footsteps.B. She starts a new chapter.C. She returns to Verona.D. She travels globally.2. What can we learn about the songs in the musical?A. They feature classical styles.B. They reflect teenage dreams.C. They are originally composed.D. They are created by a master.3. On which day are tickets still available?A. May 7.B. May 20.C. May 26.D. May 30.BJames Rainey reads trees like most people read signposts. The senior ecologist is using a small hand camera to identify a lichen (地衣) that is surrounding the base of wild pines (松树) in a deep narrow valley on the west coast of Scotland. He is looking for ecological clues of species associated with the ancient Caledonian Forest, which once covered most of the Highlands.Wild pines have been growing in Scotland continuously since the ice age, offering a globally unique ecosystem supporting rare wildlife. But now less than 2% of the original growth survives, with just 14 individual Caledonian pinewood sites now officially recognized. “To meet the demand for more wood, many wild pines in Highlands have been removed to make room for commercial forestry,”says Rainey. “This was often done in ancient woodlands and was really damaging to the remaining trees.”But restoration is still possible, especially since some old trees still survive along with the ancient woodland soil and seedbank—seeds stored in the soil, which can grow once the heavy shade of commercial conifers (针叶树) is removed.The ecological investigator uses three clues of evidence to discover where these pinewoods first stood. “First there’s the historical evidence, like old maps and texts. Then comes the landscape context: is the pine associated withplanting around a big house, or is the setting more natural? And finally I use the ecological evidence: wild pine usually grow alongside old birch trees, which indicates ecological continuity,” explains Rainey.Rainey has identified 23 pines in this area, all rooted in places least accessible. Their needles have been taken for genetic testing to confirm their family trees. “This would have been filled with trees but is now empty — these are the most critical areas in need of regeneration and we want the whole of the ancient woodlands to recover, not just the pines,” he said.4. Why are the wild pines considered to be so significant?A. They act as a signpost for the highland.B. They are an indicator of an ancient forest.C. They are an alternative to commercial forestry.D. They provide a shelter for certain species of lichen.5. What is essential for the restoration of ancient pinewoods?A. The existence of ancient seeds.B. The presence of commercial conifers.C. The awareness of the forest protection.D. The application of the advanced technology.6. How does Rainey determine the original location of the pinewoods?A. By locating big houses.B. By consulting historians.C. By referring to digital maps.D. By making the most of surroundings.7. What is the ultimate Rainey’s goal?A. To confirm the genes of the pine.B. To restore the old-growth woodlands.C. To explore the unfrequented places.D. To enrich the diversity of the wild pines.CA new data crowdsourcing platform, an initiative led by Dr. Ioanna Sitaridou at Cambridge University, who has been studying Romeyka for the last 16 years, aims to preserve the sound of Romeyka, an endangered millennia-old variety of Greek. Experts consider the language to be a linguistic (语言的) goldmine and a living bridge to the ancient world.Romeyka, which does not have a writing system and has been transmitted only in spoken form, is thought to have only a couple of thousand native speakers left in Turkey’s Trabzon region. Extensive contact with Turkish, the absence of support systems to facilitate intergenerational transmission, and migration have all taken their toll on Romeyka. A large majority of native speakers in Trabzon are over 65 years of age and fewer young people are learning the language.The newly launched Crowdsourcing Romeyka platform invites members of the public from anywhere in the world to upload audio recordings of Romeyka being spoken. “Speech crowdsourcing is a new tool which helps speakers build a database of spoken materials for their endangered languages, allows researchers to document these languages, and motivates speakers to appreciate their own linguistic heritage (遗产). At the same time, by preserving their language, it can help speakers achieve acknowledgement of their identity from people outside of their speech community,” said Dr. Sitaridou.The innovative tool is designed by a Harvard undergraduate in Computer Science, Mr Matthew Nazari, himself a heritage speaker of Romeyka. Together they hope that this new tool will pave the way for the production of language materials in a naturalistic learning environment away from the classroom, but based instead around everyday use and community.By engaging with local communities, particularly female speakers, Sitaridou has gathered the largest collection of audio and video data in existence and amounting to more than 29GB of sourced data, and has authored 21 peer-reviewed publications. A YouTube film about Sitaridou’s fieldwork has received 723,000 views to-date.8. Why is it necessary to preserve Romeyka?A. It is a variety of Greek.B. It has a unique writing system.C. It can generate commercial value.D. It can strengthen the bond with the past.9. Which can replace the underlined phrase “taken their toll on” in paragraph 2?A. Had a negative influence on.B. Taken full advantage of.C. Played a leading role in.D. Thrown new light on.10. What does paragraph 3 want to stress about the platform?A. Its prospect.B. Its originality.C. Its significance.D. Its limitation.11. Which can best describe Dr. Sitaridou’s work?A. Conventional.B. Eventful.C. Fruitful.D. Debatable.DHave you ever found yourself having intrusive (侵扰的) thoughts about something you haven’t finished? Maybe a half-done work project is keeping you up at night or the suspenseful plot of a novel you’re reading keeps circling your thoughts. There is a reason why it’s so hard to stop thinking about uncompleted and interrupted tasks, and psychologists called it the Zeigarnik effect (Z-effect).The Ziegarnik effect was first observed by a Russian psychologist named Bluma Zeigarnik. While sitting in a busy restaurant in Vienna, Ziegarnik noted that the waiters had better memories of unpaid orders. Once the bill was paid, however, the waiters had trouble remembering the exact details of the orders.Zeigarnik did a series of experiments, in which participants were asked to complete simple tasks such as putting together puzzles, or solving math problems. Half of the participants were interrupted partway through doing these tasks. After an hour-long wait, Zeigarnik asked the participants to describe what they had been working on. She discovered that the people who had been interrupted in their work were twice as likely to remember what they had been doing as the people who had been able to complete the tasks.We are living in an information explosion era, and we need mental tricks to help us remember a great deal of information. The Zeigarnik effect serves as a prime example. We hold on to information in the short term by constantly pulling it back into our awareness. By thinking of uncompleted tasks often, we’re more likely to keep remembering them until they get done.The Zeigarnik effect tells us a lot about how memory works and you can use the Zeigarnik effect to your advantage. If you are struggling to memorize something important, momentary interruptions might work to your advantage. Rather than simply repeating the information, review it a few times, and then take a break. Nevertheless, leaving too many tasks unfinished can lead to feelings of overwhelm and anx iety. Therefore, it’s crucial to use thiseffect wisely in practical applications.12. What is the typical characteristic of the Z-effect?A. Tending to memorize unfinished tasks.B. Trying to finish various tasks at a time.C. Performing terribly during a task.D. Suspending an uncompleted task.13. What is the function of paragraph 3?A. To classify a concept.B. To provide further evidence.C. To stress the experiment’s complexity.D. To add some background information.14. Which is a practical application of the Z-effect?A. Reading a whole story in one breath.B. Producing a drama with unexpected endings.C. Keeping several windows open on your computer.D. Airing ads during the suspenseful moments in a TV series.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Z-Effect: How Interruptions Enhance MemoryB. The Z-Effect: How to Boost Recall of Finished TasksC. The Power of Completing Tasks Ahead of ScheduleD. The Tricks of Developing Long-term Memory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。

It’s what forced Florio, 53, of Massapequa, to take part in the Town of Oyster Bay’s annual dune grass planting event on March 30 — an effort to help stabilize the beach dunes against shoreline erosion (侵蚀).Along with other volunteers, Florio had spent hours with her daughter, Kyra Florio-Marinello, 15, and her daughter’s friend Tatum Brennan, 15, planting the native plants that were intended to absorb water and prepare the sand against heavy wind. But four days later, a storm on Wednesday hit Long Island and washed the new plants away. “The latest dune planting event drew more than 150 volunteers who planted a lot across 2.7 acres of Atlantic Ocean sand dunes,” said Marta Kane, an Oyster Bay spokeswoman. “The dune grass cost the town $32,000.”The event, centered on volunteerism, drew some families whose elders were looking to share a message with a younger generation about the importance of protecting the environment. While the outcome resulted in a wave of disappointment, for some volunteers that was coupled with a sense of renewed motivation. Maria Rizzi, 70, of Massapequa, participated in the planting session with her grandson, Andrew Lepsis, 10. She said she would go back for another event with even more family members. “I’d be willing to do it again,” she said. “I’d even talk the older grand kids into coming.”While the storm swept the new plants away, Florio said Tobay Beach’s appearance aftermath serves as a powerful reminder of the need for more volunteer work on that stretch of sand. “Maybe it will inspire more people to volunteer and understand the need for us to protect our beaches,” Florio said.4．What is the aim of the dune grass planting event?A．To protect the ocean from being polluted.B．To keep the shoreline in good shape.C．To reduce extreme weather conditions.D．To prevent people playing on the beach. 5．Which can best describe the dune grass planting event?A．Popular but costly.B．Traditional but complex.C．Creative and economical.D．Successful and rewarding.6．How did Maria Rizzi feel about grass planting?A．Interesting.B．Disappointed.C．Hopeless.D．Motivated. 7．What can be the best title for the text?A．Great Grass Planting B．The Best of the StormC．Spirit Never Washed Away D．V olunteers Making History TogetherTrillions of evolution’s wonders, red-eyed periodical cicadas (蝉) that have pumps in their heads and jet-like muscles in their bodies, are about to emerge in numbers not seen in decades and possibly centuries. Crawling out from underground every 13 or 17 years, with a collective song as loud as jet engines, the periodical cicadas are nature’s kings of the calendar. These black bugs with bulging eyes differ from their greener cousins that come out annually. They stay buried year after year, until they surface and take over a landscape.This spring, an unusual cicada double population is about to invade a couple of parts of the United States in what University of Connecticut cicada expert John Cooley called “cicada-geddon”. The last time these two broods (a group of creatures) came out together was in 1803. Thomas Jefferson, the then president, wrote about cicadas in his Garden Book but mistakenly called them locusts (蝗虫). Usually mistaken for hungry and unrelated locusts, periodical cicadas are more annoying rather than causing great economic damage. They can hurt young trees and some fruit crops, but it’s not widespread and can be prevented.The largest geographic brood in the nation — called Brood XIX and coming out every 13 years — is about to march through the Southeast, having already created countless boreholes in the red Georgia clay. It’s a sure sign of the coming cicada occupation. “They emerge when the ground warms to 64 degrees, which is happening earlier than it used to because of climate change,” scientists said. “The bugs are brown at first but darken as they mature.”Soon after the insects appear in large numbers in Georgia and the rest of the Southeast, cicada cousins that come out every 17 years will inundate Illinois. They are Brood ⅩⅩ. “And when you put those two together… you would have more than anywhere else any other time,” University of Maryland entomologist Paula Shrewsbury said. “These two broods may actually overlap — but probably not interbreed in a small area near central Illinois.”8．How are periodical cicadas different from their greener cousins?A．They appear once a year.B．They look more beautiful.C．They have stronger muscles.D．They have a longer life circle.9．What is a common belief on periodical cicadas?A．They are a type of locusts.B．They have underestimated advantages.C．They are Thomas Jefferson’s inspiration.D．They only eat young trees and fruit crops. 10．What can be inferred about Brood ⅩⅩ?A．The red Georgia clay is more beneficial to them.B．Climate change may be confusing their schedules.C．The adult ones only live 4-6 weeks before they die.D．They are expected to be found throughout the world.11．What can best replace the underlined word “inundate” in the last paragraph?A．Strike out.B．Give up.C．Flood into.D．Jump at.Total solar eclipses (日食) have scared people since time out of mind. The first record of one, preserved on a clay tablet found at Ugarit, once a trade city but destroyed later in Syria, is believed from its age and location to describe either an eclipse that happened in 1375 BC or one in 1223 BC．Legendary explanations for eclipses include the Sun being eaten by dogs, frogs or dragons. The reality is not romantic. Why are total ones, like the one coming on April 8, so rare?Solar eclipses are a special case of phenomena called transits and occultations, in which an intervening (介于中间的) heavenly body stops light from a star reaching an observer. If the blocking body appears smaller in the sky than the star, the result is called a transit and looks like a dark spot crossing the star’s surface. If the blocking object appears larger than the star, the star disappears completely—an occultation. A total eclipse is an occultation.Solar eclipses may be either of these things, since the apparent sizes in the sky of the Sunand the Moon, viewed from Earth, are almost identical. If the Moon orbited Earth in the same plane as Earth orbits the Sun, eclipses would happen every month, but would be total only in the tropics (热带地区). In reality, the average interval between total eclipses is 18 months, and they may be seen from time to time all over the world. The path of totality across Earth’s surface is narrow and the period short (a maximum of just over seven and a half minutes). Outside these boundaries, the Sun will appear partially eclipsed, looking like a pie that something has taken a bite from.The Great North American Eclipse, as it has been called, will be a sight to be hold on April 8. But it should also be cherished, because total eclipses of the Sun will not happen for ever. Tidal friction (潮汐摩擦) causes the Moon to move away from Earth at 3.8 cm a year, making it appear smaller and smaller in the sky. In 600 million years or so the last, short totality will occur. 12．What does the clay tablet of Ugarit represent?A．Some figures of ancient animals.B．The Sun being eaten by some animals.C．Ancient people who were hunting for animals.D．The earliest total solar eclipse recorded.13．How does the author develop paragraph 2?A．By listing statistics.B．By giving definitions.C．By giving examples.D．By analyzing cause and effect.14．What can we learn about total solar eclipses from paragraph 3?A．Their duration is relatively longer.B．They take place every month actually.C．They are visible only from a narrow path.D．They look like a bite taken out of the Sun.15．What makes total solar eclipses so rare?A．The moving-away Moon.B．The stronger tide on Earth.C．The smaller attraction of the Moon for Earth.D．The changing distance between the Sun and Earth.How to have an attractive personalityDemonstrating an attractive personality is key to making friends and having lasting relationships. These traits (特性) give you the ability to inspire and fascinate others, making others more drawn to you as a result.Listen to others. 16 Instead of responding to a text, opening an email, or thinking about your next meal, pay attention to what the other person is saying. Show them you’re listening and interested by commenting on the story or asking questions.Speak sincerely. No one likes to be cheated. 17 If you can’t commit to something, it’s better to be honest about it than to have to tell them at the last minute that you can’t make it. When people ask for your opinion, you should be honest.18 You should always say what you believe in, be willing to take risks, and have the ability to admit your mistake without being worried about what other people will think. Doing this shows that you have self-confidence. This helps create an attractive personality.Know “how” vs “what”. How you say things is arguably more important than what you say. If you try to give someone a genuine compliment, but he or she thinks you say it with a sarcastic undertone, your compliment won’t mean a thing. 19 If you notice that people often take things you say the wrong way, there’s a good chance you can change how you speak. Ask your friends to make you aware of the way you’re coming across.Show enthusiasm for everything. Even if something makes you slightly uncomfortable, handle it with a smile on your face, an open mind, and a sense of humor. Not every day is going to be perfect, but being enthusiastic can help you accomplish anything. 20A．Tell people the truth.B．You may make things bad.C．Be aware of the way you speak.D．Have confidence in how you speak and act.E．When you act this way, people will love being around you.F．Asking questions is important when it comes to confidence.G．Listening is a trait that is often forgotten in today’s society.二、完形填空James Mogaji is a security officer at Providence College Raymond Hall in Rhode Island.

2024届福建省三明市高三下学期三模英语试题一、阅读理解4 Summer Jobs to Get Paid and Take a BreakCamp counsellor (辅导员)Most kids head off to camp during the summertime, and if you’re past the typical age of being a camper, relive your youth by becoming a summer camp counsellor. You can enjoy participating in activities, planning events, and partaking in arts and crafts. It’s one of the best summer jobs because it also builds your leadership skills while you earn extra money. Depending on your schedule, you can work to fit your needs. The average starting pay is $10.5 an hour.LifeguardSpending time on the water is something many people do during the summer. And if you're good at swimming, then being a lifeguard is a great option for you. The hours are flexible, and the pay is great, with the average hourly rate at $11.50.Amusement park employeeAn amusement park is a great place to work during the summertime. There are a variety of positions you can get hired for — from ride operator to food service to booth tender — and the average starting pay is $10 an hour. The hours are flexible and negotiable depending on where you decide to work: the larger the park, the more employees they’ll have, which could mean fewer hours they’ll need you to cover.Dog walkerIf you’re looking for a relaxing job, being a dog walker could be the right choice for you. Dog walking hours and pay are easily negotiable, as you can simply discuss with the dog’s owner what your availability is, when they need you, and what your pay rate is. Getting some exercise with a furry friend will feel more like a relaxing pastime than a job. And if you wish to continue being a dog walker, it’s the job that’s easiest to keep year-round.1．What is the benefit of being a camp counsellor?A．It brings back the glory.B．It boosts artistic creativity.C．It is easy to do and well-paid.D．It develops competence in leadership.2．For which job can the pay be negotiated?A．Camp counselor.B．Lifeguard.C．Amusement park employee.D．Dog walker.3．What do the four summer jobs have in common?A．They need full-time employees.B．The working hours are flexible.C．The pay remains unclear.D．They need relevant certificates.In 2023, the UK SpoGomi competition was scheduled for August, with the world cup in Tokyo in November. I formed my team with Alex Winship, and my brother Jonny.SpoGomi is a sport involving litter-picking by teams of three. Teams collect litter in given areas within a strict time limit, scoring point s for the weight of collected items, with some items awarded more points than others. One gram of cigarette butts is worth three points versus only 0.1 per gram for burnable rubbish. The team with the most point s wins.Initially we were drawn to taking part because of the prize of a trip to Japan. There were about 20 teams in the UK competition, which took place in London’s Hackney marshes. We won by only 33 points, which is equivalent to just one glass bottle.We were then heading for the world cup. The competition was intense. After the first half, Japan came top and we were second. My muscles were aching and I felt completely worn out from the heat of Tokyo on a sunny day. I didn’t have much more energy, and Iremember Alex and Jonny saying the same, but we had this feeling of being on the edge of something amazing. We had to just keep pushing. We pulled ahead in the second half while carrying several kilos of litter over two miles at a time. We ended up coming first,ahead of Japan, with 57 kg of rubbish collected.I wouldn’t have been someone who would have picked up litter off the street. At the early stages of our training, we were so bad at finding litter. Then, just after the London competition, on the way home, we saw so much. We were just much more aware of it.Once you’re drawn into SpoGomi, your attitude towards litter and how you contribute completely changes — it certainly has for us.4．What can we learn about SpoComi?A．It is a sport to pick up rubbish.B．It has particularly strict rules.C．It is a team consisting of 3.D．It sets limits to collected items.5．What was the result of the London competition?A．The result was controversial.B．No team entered the world cup.C．The author’s team had a narrow victory.D．The author’s team had an absolute advantage.6．How did the author feel in the second half of the world cup?A．Nervous but hopeful.B．Indifferent and bored.C．Exhausted but determined.D．Discouraged and uninterested.7．What is presented in the last paragraph?A．Providing tips on picking litter.B．Showing desire for SpoGomi training.C．Advocating devotion to the world cup.D．Encouraging engagement in SpoGomi.V ocal cords (声带) can easily get damaged by stress, infections, or overuse. It is not just overenthusiastic performers who are at risk of injuring their voice-boxes — according to a study, 30% of the population will experience a voice disorder at some point in their life.In a study published in the journal Nature Communications, a team of UCLA engineers have invented a patch-like (片状) device that can be worn on the skin outside the throat to help people with voice disorders speak.Even though the team’s device is an early prototype, it has the potential to offer a substantial improvement on current alternatives. When a person loses his voice today, the easiest fix is to resort to typing, texting, or writing notes to communicate. Typing can be slow and inconvenient, and writing notes is only possible in good lighting. More advanced solutions require special training to use, and surgical interventions are often invasive. A patch would theoretically be able to clear all these hurdles.The tiny patch consists of a self-powered sensing component, which detects and changes signals generated by the throat muscle movements into high-accuracy, analyzable electrical signals,which are then translated into speech signals using a machine-learning algorithm, and an actuation component, which turns those signals into voice expression. The patch was tested on eight healthy adults who pronounced five sentences (including: “Hope your experiments are going well!”, “Merry Christmas!” and “I love you!”) aloud or in silence, and its accuracy was more than 90%.There is a way to go yet. For now the device can only recognise the five phrases it was trained on. Plus, individual differences in vocal cords means the algorithm has to be personalised to each user. To make it practical at scale, the researchers will need to collect a lot more data. 8．What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs?A．The device can be fixed in a person's body.B．The device may be a fix to voice disorders.C．Most people are influenced by voice injury.D．Performers have a high risk of voice disorders.9．How does the author introduce the advantage of the patch?A．By listing data.B．By giving examples.C．By making comparison.D．By analyzing causes and effects.10．Which aspect of the device is mentioned in paragraph 4?A．Its application.B．Its principle.C．Its challenge.D．Its purpose.11．What is the author’s attitude toward the device?A．Unclear.B．Dismissive.C．Doubtful.D．Supportive.Unretirement: older people return to paid employmentThe disappearance of 565,000 mostly older people from the UK’s labour force was one of the problematic effects of Covid. In other countries, employment levels recovered more quickly to pre-2020 levels, making the UK exceptional. But while evidence in the past few months points to a change of this trend — the rise of “unretirement” — there is no room for relief.Government initiatives to address the issue have achieved little. The Treasury came up with the idea of “returnerships”, a variant of the skills training aimed at persuading mature people backto workplaces. But in reality this is not much more than a new label for existing training. Meanwhile, fewer than one in 20 of participants in the government’s “skills training camps” — courses intended to equip jobseekers for the opportunities in their area — are aged over 55.Mel Stride, the work and pensions secretary, championed the idea of over-50s delivering takeaways, and doing other jobs more readily associated with younger workers.Age should not be a barrier to anyone willing and able to do this kind of work. But more importantly, government ministers should extend employment beyond low-wage private sector vacancies(空缺) to labour shortages in health, education and social care — where umemployment problem is serious.Revealed in one survey, descriptions of returning to employment are highly variable.Some did so because they were struggling with the rising cost of living. Others found that they missed the company of co-workers, wanted to make a contribution to family finances or needed“a purpose in life”.The 26.5% of adults aged 50 to 64 who are economically inactive — neither working nor seeking work — is still too high. The coexistence of high levels of economic inactivity with key worker shortages in vital areas such as teaching remains hugely problematic. But rising employment levels can be seen as part of a delayed return to normality. And Ministers still need to better target policies to encourage economically inactive 50–to 64-year-olds back to work. 12．Why do the UK government plans have little effect?A．Mature people are unwilling to retire.B．The government lacks related equipment.C．The skills training isn’t essentially changed.D．The government doesn’t provide professional training.13．What should the government do for unretirement?A．Strengthen association with younger workers.B．Widen employment opportunities.C．Offer diverse training courses.D．Predict the potential problems.14．What was a reason for unretirement according to the survey?A．Financial struggle.B．Contribution to society.C．Family’s expectations.D．Co-workers’ encouragement.15．What is the text?A．A news report.B．A book review.C．A scientific report.D．A diary entry.Is It OK to Be Unhappy?Many people might say that you should always be happy, but is it okay to allow yourself time when sadness may prevail over happiness? We’ll explore how sadness offers people opportunities for self-reflection and why people should appreciate their sorrow.What is unhappiness?Many words are used to express sadness: suffering, misery, sorrow, pain, and more. It often results from other feelings like guilt, grief, anxiety, hopelessness, or anger. 16 It may differ from a person to another but it could change how you physically feel—a stomachache, headache, or difficulty sleep disorders.17Lots of people are growing unhappy due to mental health issues. Here are lists of situations: having problems with relationships, having trouble at home(eg. violence or financial issues), having trouble at school or work, comparing self to others, losing a loved one and being self-critical.Is it OK for a person to be unhappy?Everyone has different emotions: some are good while others can be negative. In other words, all people have feelings that are always changing in some way—and they happen for a reason! So is it OK to feel sadness? 18Sadness is a natural part of life.It is okay to be unhappy. Being sad doesn’t mean you are not coping with the situation.19 Learning to recognize sad emotions can make you adapt better, accept more easily, and persevere when things may be too hard at times.Things will eventually get better.Keep in mind your problems will not last forever and will eventually pass too! There is no right way to let go of sadness but what is not a secret is that the first step is the acknowledgment and acceptance of the pain you are feeling. It could be a lot but talking to someone you trust canbe helpful. 20 Eat nutritious food, exercise regularly, and get enough sleep.A．Why are people sad?B．Take good care of yourself.C．The answer is a definite yes.D．So what does it feel like to be sad?E．How can people get rid of sadness?F．There are also a lot of other effective solutions.G．Rather it helps you accept your problems and move on.二、完形填空Doing math helps people with a lot of daily life.
