21、In the August sun, it’s unbearably hot in my car. I’m in Vancouver, approaching the Knight Street Bridge as I try to get home after work. It’s 5:15 pm. Traffic is already slowing down and then it comes to a full stop. I’m stuck even before getting on the bridge.

This has become my normal work commute (上下班往返) routine. Ahead of me is a heavily jammed on-ramp (匝道). I stare at the endless rows of vehicles, depressed.

At first I think this is not how it looks. The traffic will soon start moving. Seconds pass. Minutes pass. Looking at the rows of cars and trucks glittering (闪光) in the sun, I start counting — 299, 300, 301 — and I give up.

Suddenly I remember I’m one of the 300 helpless drivers. But I stay alert (警觉的). When the cars do move, I move carefully, making sure not to bump into other vehicles. Finally, I make it onto the bridge. The traffic is still crawling at a snail’s pace. Tired and hungry, I become very anxious.

Just then, I hear a weak sound in the distance. The sound gradually becomes louder, until I can identify it as an ambulance approaching from behind. What do we do? The bridge is packed. There’s no room for us to move.

But I’m wrong. Every single car quickly, yet carefully, moves to the side. Without thinking, I follow suit. The lane remains open for a few seconds during which the ambulance flashes through.

Afterward, every car moves back. We close up the emergency lane, ready to continue our patient wait. Back in my spot, I’m awestruck. I forget my tiredness and hunger. My anxiety is gone. I start reflecting upon what 300 fellow drivers and I just did.

How did we do that? Despite our exhaustion, we collectively decided to help the stranger who needed the time more desperately than we did. We drew on our sympathy and intelligence, requiring no directives.

Although I may seem alone stuck on the bridge, I’m connected to all the other drivers. Together we could make the impossible possible.

【1】How does the author feel when seeing the on-ramp?

A．Annoyed.

B．Discouraged.

C．Calm

D．Shocked.

【2】What does the author think when knowing an ambulance is approaching?

A．It will be hard for it to pass through.

B．Someone should direct the traffic.

C．All drivers will be willing to move.

D．Whoever is inside needs immediate help.

【3】What does the word “awestruck” underlined in Paragraph 7 most probably mean?

A．Deeply anxious.

B．Feeling amazed.

C．Extremely exhausted.

D．Feeling depressed.

【4】What does the author think made the miracle happen?

A．The drivers’ good driving skills.

B．Instructions from a stranger.

C．People’s kindness.

D．The ambulance’s rescue.

22、We humans often navigate(导航) using road signs and GPS.【1】Connie Allen, a behavioral ecologist in the U.K., says they navigate over long distances using their incredible memories. 【2】

Allen and her colleagues investigated that idea by testing African elephants' ability to track a very specific smell: urine(尿液)．【3】．That urine can contain a lot of chemical clues．

But first, they needed some urine. So they headed to a spot along Botswana's River and waited. They waited for elephants to urinate. Within 20 minutes, they went and collected these fresh urine samples.

Then they set up camera traps on elephant trails. 【4】, they noticed that a majority investigated smells along the trails. The researchers say that smells may serve as signs along the trails.

【5】.And they found that for at least two days, passing elephants trained their trunks on the samples-especially samples from mature adults-another indication that smell might be a strong navigational clue.

Their findings appear in the journal Animal Behaviour. Based on these results, they hope conservationists might be able to use elephant urine to help with their work.

A．Elephants don't, though

B．By catching the elephants along the trails

C．Elephants urinate some 12 to 15 gallons a day

D．Next, they placed those urine samples along the trails

E．Finally, they tested the chemicals of the urine samples

F．After observing the elephants' natural behavior on the paths

G．But she also suggests that maybe the smell is vital to the long movements

23、阅读理解。

The freezing Northeast hasn’t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part - particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold- weather root vegetables- was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.

The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m., rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries; the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.

Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they’re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal- and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months.

Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where - luckily for me - I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it.

【1】 What did the author think of her winter life in New York?

A. Exciting.     B. Boring.

C. Relaxing. D. Annoying.

【2】 What made the author’s getting up late early worthwhile?

A. Having a swim. B. Breathing in fresh air.

C. Walking in the morning sun. D. Visiting a local farmer’s market.

【3】 What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?

A. They are soft.     B. They look nice.

C. They taste great.   D. They are juicy.

【4】 What was the author going to that evening?

A. Go to a farm. B. Check into a hotel.

C. Eat in a restaurant.   D. Buy fresh vegetables.

24、   Video calls are a common occurrence, but have you imagined being able to touch the person on the other end of the line? Scientists are making this a reality.

Researchers at the University of New South Wales, Australia, have invented a soft skin stretch device （SSD）, a haptic （触觉的）device that can recreate the sense of touch. Haptic technology mimics （模 仿）)the experience of touch by stimulating localized areas of the skin in ways that are similar to what is felt in the real world, through force, vibration （振动）or motion.

Vibration is the most common haptic technology today and has been built into many electronic devices, such as one attached to the back of a touch pad in laptops, which simulates a button clicking. However, haptic feedback with vibration becomes less sensitive when used continuously. The existing technology also has great difficulty recreating the sense of touch with objects in virtual environments or located remotely, according to Mai Thanh Thai, lead author of the study.

The new technology overcomes issues with existing haptic devices. The research team introduced a novel method to recreate the sense of touch through soft, artificial “muscles”.

“Our three-way directional skin stretch device, built into the fingertips of the wearable haptic glove we also created, is like wearing a second skin - it's soft, stretchable and mimics the sense of touch - and will enable new forms of haptic communication to improve everyday activities, said Thanh Nho Do, senior author of the study.

It works like this: Imagine you are at home and you call your friend who is in Australia. You wear a haptic glove with the SSDs and your friend also wears a glove with integrated 3D force sensors. If your friend picks up an object, it will physically press against your friend's fingers. And their glove with 3D force sensors will measure these interactions. The force signals can be sent to your glove so your device will produce the same 3D forces, making you experience the same sense of touch as your friend.

The haptic devices could be applied in various situations, allowing users to feel objects inside a virtual world or at a distance. This could, be especially beneficial during such times like the COVID-19 pandemic when people rely on video calls to stay connected with loved ones. Or it could be used in medical practices. Doctors can feel a patient's organ tissues with surgical （手术的）tools without touching them.

【1】What can we learn about the SSD?

A.It takes the shape of a glove.

B.It mainly uses vibration technology.

C.It is a soft electronic glove made of animal skins.

D.It makes virtual haptic communication possible.

【2】What does Paragraph 6 mainly talk about?

A.The advantages of the new haptic glove.

B.The applications of the new haptic technology.

C.An explanation of how the haptic device works.

D.A personal experience of using SSDs during a call.

【3】What's the main purpose of the text?

A.To encourage the use of a new product.

B.To inform readers of a new invention.

C.To compare different kinds of existing haptic devices.

D.To introduce the development of haptic technology.

【4】How could the new haptic device benefit people?

A.It could replace video calls as a way to communicate.

B.It could be used for recreating organ tissues.

C.Users could feel remote objects in a realistic way.

D.Doctors could perform surgeries from a distance.
