26、California researchers developed a glove with electronic sensors that can translate American Sign Language into English in real time through an app on your smartphone.

Unlike previous gloves, the new one is light, inexpensive and long-lasting. The device could help solve the problem of communication between signers and non-signers. Hopefully, this may open up an easy way for people who use sign language to communicate directly with nonsigners without needing someone else to translate for them.

The team worked with four people who are deaf and use ASL and had them repeat gestures up to 15 times while wearing the glove-like device, at the same time teaching a machine how to recognize them.

The glove has thin sensors made from “electrically conducting materials” that run up each finger and turn the movements into signals. These signals are sent to a “dollar-coin sized” circuit board placed on the person's wrist, which then wirelessly moves them over to a smartphone.

The system was able to recognize 660 hand movements and finger placements that stand for each letter in the English alphabet, different phrases and each number. The algorithm recognized the correct signs about 99% of the time, and in less than one second- or about at one word per second.

However, researchers said the glove would need to learn more vocabulary and be able to translate signs faster in order to be sold in stores.

【1】Who is the new glove designed for?

A．Translators.

B．Deaf people.

C．English learners.

D．Sign language users.

【2】What does Paragraph 4 mainly say about the new glove?

A．How it works.

B．What it is made up of.

C．How reliable it is.

D．What benefits it has.

【3】What will researchers need to do with the glove in the future?

A．Enlarge its size.

B．Change its appearance.

C．Extend its service life.

D．Improve its performance.

【4】Where does this text most probably come from?

A．A travel website.

B．A science newspaper.

C．A fashion magazine.

D．A project handbook.

27、Ah, graduation day. Family parties. Student awards. Excited parents busy taking photos. Limo (豪华轿车) rides to the ceremony. All these are in celebration of years of hard work and the exciting things to come after primary school.

Wait, what? Yes, primary school graduation ceremonies are becoming more popular than ever. And at my school, the fifth grade graduation is a serious business.

A few weeks before the fifth grade graduation, I received a special parent email:

“I would like to know if my boy is going to be the only kid not receiving an award on the graduation day, because I am going to save him from the embarrassment and favoritism that has been shown all year and will not have him at the graduation.”

Awards are part of the end-of-year excitement at my school and the hardest thing I have to do with all year. Picking five of 14 students to be called before the whole school seems like a heartbreak for the other nine. Someone is always going to be left out and clearly, the parents feel the pressure.

I chose not to answer the email, knowing the email was sent under pressure. The boy in question would receive an award, not because of his mother’s email, but because his achievement was great.

On the day of the ceremony, that boy and four others were awarded and posed(摆好姿势) for pictures together in new clothes. I sent my congratulations to all the students—without considering their achievements—on having an excellent year and wished them well at their new schools.

But as another year’s graduation is coming soon, I’m left feeling uneasy. Not to take away anything from my present class of wonderful students as they prepare to head out to new schools, I believe that such ceremonies should be held at the end of high school and college. Is it too much or too soon to celebrate our children and their achievements?

【1】Why did the parent send the author the email?

A．To ask him to give her son an award.

B．To make a complaint about how her son had been treated.

C．To ask for some information about the graduation day.

D．To report her son’s possible absence from the graduation.

【2】What does the author find most difficult about the graduation ceremony?

A．Dealing with parent emails.

B．Saying goodbye to his students.

C．Deciding who will receive awards.

D．Freeing his students from pressure.

【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards graduation ceremonies?

A．They are a waste of money.

B．They are only meaningful for college students.

C．They are not proper for primary school students.

D．They are not a good way to celebrate students’ achievements.

29、Marcelo Toledo usually creates works of art out of metal. Now the Argentine artist is working with a new material: waste masks from the COVID-19 pandemic(流行病）to create an exhibition exploring the painful impact of the virus.

Toledo, who has made decorations for the musical “Evita” on Broadway,was among the first in Argentina to be infected(感染）by COVID-19,which left him in hospital for eight days. The experience led to a series of artworks, including a 14-meter mask with the Argentine flag that he placed on the famous Obelisk in Buenos Aires to raise awareness of organ donation(器官捐赠）during the pandemic.

For his new exhibition, the "Museum of the After,"Toledo is collecting recycled coronavirus waste which is sent by hospitals, laboratories and people,including old material parts and newspapers about the pandemic. “I am excited to be able to change pain into beauty and this exhibition is just recording everything that is happening to us as a society,” Toledo said. The artworks,which will go on show from September in a public space, will all be made from waste materials or garbage that people send him.

In the exhibition,there will be a real ship that will symbolically(象征地） cross a“storm”to raise awareness of the importance caring for the environment. “The exhibition will tell the story of this ship that went on sailing after the storm, which is a great symbol for what is happening to us.This pandemic is a great global storm,” Toledo said.

As with the huge mask, which was copied in countries such as the United States and Japan, the artist hopes to copy the exhibition in other cities around the world.

【1】What caused Toledo to make the 14-meter mask?

A．His stay in hospital.

B．His fear of COVID-19.
