27、Two years ago, Kursat Ceylan was in New York to give a talk about disability rights. Blind since birth, the Turkish businessman was struggling to find his hotel, holding a cane (手杖) in one hand and pulling his luggage with the other while trying to get GPS directions from his phone.

"Not surprisingly, suddenly I hit a pole," he says. "It was a bit bloody."

The problem with a cane is that, while it can tell you what's on the ground, it doesn't with objects at the body or head level. It wasn't the first time Ceylan had run into something, injuring himself.

"I have no problem with my scars, which make me more handsome, I guess," Ceylan says, laughing. "But I don't need new ones".

With WeWalk, a new smart cane he invented, Ceylan hopes to help other blind people navigate their environments more easily. The cane uses an ultrasonic(超声波) sensor to find objects at body or head level and gives a warning vibration (振动). WeWalk users pair the cane with their smartphones and then use the canes' touchpad to access features like voice assistant or navigation. Before leaving home, they can plug their destinations into Google Maps and get spoken directions as they walk. In the future, Ceylan hopes to connect WeWalk with public transportation and ridesharing services.

Ceylan sees Wewalk as part of an attempt to help blind people achieve greater freedom of movement, which he believes will give them greater access to education and jobs. The canes are already having an impact on users, Ceylan says. He recently received an email from a teacher in Ireland who had become blind as an adult. He had been depressed and housebound. But since getting a WeWalk cane, the device has kept encouraging him to go out. He has became happier and more relaxed.

【1】Why is a story about Kursat Ceylan given at the beginning of the text?

A．To tell people how he became blind.

B．To show why he invented WeWalk.

C．To indicate people's coldness to the blind.

D．To show he is positive and humorous.

【2】What can WeWalk do at present according to the text?

A．Provide fast Internet access.

B．Start conversations with strangers.

C．Inform users what is around them.

D．Connect with ridesharing services.

【3】How can WeWalk benefit its users according to the last paragraph?

A．By increasing their participation in social life.

B．By giving them freedom to do whatever they like.

C．By helping them to perform better academically.

D．By bringing them higher social status.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．A helpful technology for the blind

B．A blind man's secret to success

C．Universal concern about blind people

D．Increasing demand for smart canes

28、   I'm a student in my third year at Robert Gordon University, but I also work 35 hours a week at Sainsbury's to make ends meet.

I constantly have to force myself to stay awake, and to be alert, whatever it takes. The work I do at Sainsbury's is very physical like stacking shelves. I am lucky because the amount I lift at work is nothing compared with the weight I lift in the gym. I know I have the strength to bear it.

I am originally from Nigeria. I came here when I was seven. Money was always tight. My parents gave me everything I needed, but there was no money for luxuries. I worked hard at school though and, with the help of professors, I got the best A﹣level grades in my class.

Unfortunately, though I had applied for "settled "British residential status the Home Office waited until I was in sixth form to approve my application. That meant I was not eligible for a student loan. The only way I could afford to go to university was that I got a job that would pay for all my living costs and my parents paid for my tuition fees.

I don't have much time to socialize because of my job. Ideally, I’d like to have more time to study so I can excel at my course. Yes, I have a lot on my plate, but working hard isn't new for me. Growing up, my parents cultivated in me the importance of working hard for what I want in life.

My dream is to get a job in the NHS. But now, I'm just focused on trying to get the best grades I can. Whenever I find life hard, I tell myself this is about my future.

【1】Why does the author work long hours and sometimes overtime every week?

A.To pay for his own living expenses B.To pay for his tuition fees

C.To prove his ability to earn money D.To help his parents pay off the debts

【2】What does the underlined word "eligible "in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A.Responsible B.Anxious C.Qualified D.Accessible

【3】Which of the following can NOT be used to describe the author?

A.Persistent B.Diligent C.Sociable D.Ambitious

29、While there are many factors that go into how attractive you are to mosquitoes, new research has found the colors you’re wearing definitely play a role.

That's the main takeaway from a new study published in the journal Nature Communications. For the study, researchers from the University of Washington tracked the behavior of female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes when they were given different types of visual and scent cues (信号). The researchers put the mosquitoes into small test chambers and exposed them to different things, like a colored dot or person’s hand.

In case you’re not familiar with how mosquitoes find food, they first detect that you’re around by smelling carbon dioxide from your breath. That prompts them to scan for certain colors and visual patterns that could indicate food, the researchers explained.

When there was no smell like carbon dioxide in the test chambers, the mosquitos pretty much ignored the colored dot, no matter what color it was. But once researchers sprayed carbon dioxide in the chamber, they flew toward dots that were red, orange, black, or cyan. Dots that were green, blue, or purple were ignored.

“Light colors are perceived as a threat to mosquitoes, which is why many species avoid biting in direct sunlight,” entomologist Timothy Best says. “Mosquitoes are very likely to die by dehydration(脱水), therefore light colors may typically represent danger and prompt avoidance. In contrast, darker colors are similar to shadows, which are more likely to absorb and store heat, allowing mosquitoes to use their sophisticated antenna to locate a host.”

If you have the option of wearing lighter or darker clothes when you know you'll be going into an area with lots of mosquitoes, Best recommends going with the lighter choice. “Dark colors stand out to mosquitoes, whereas light colors blend in.” he says.

Apart from avoiding colors mosquitoes like (red, orange, black, and cyan) when you’re going into areas where these bugs are known to exist, there are other things you can do to lower your risk of being bitten by a mosquito, which include:

·Using insect repellent

·Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants

·Get rid of standing water around your home or empty items that hold water like bird baths, toys, and planters weekly

·Use screens on your windows and doors

Each of these protective measures will contribute in decreasing your likelihood of getting bitten. And, if you’re able to wear something other than red or dark colors, even better.

【1】How did researchers from the University of Washington conduct their study?

A．They referred to a series of previous research findings.

B．They compared the behavior of female mosquitoes with male ones.

C．They exposed mosquitoes to different living environments.

D．They kept track of the behavior of some female mosquitoes.

【2】What does the underlined word “prompt” in the third paragraph mean?

A．drill

B．cause

C．require

D．qualify

【3】What does Best mean by his words in paragraph 6?

A．You can go out wearing lighter or darker clothes.

B．Dark colors do a good job in protecting you from being bitten.

C．Light colors make it less likely for mosquitoes to detect you.

D．Light colors may represent danger and prompt avoidance.

【4】What can you do to decrease your likelihood of getting bitten by mosquitoes?

A．Screening your windows and doors.

B．Leaving standing water around your home.

C．Dismissing carbon dioxide from your breath.

D．Wearing clothes in red or dark colors.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

A friend of mine whose name was John Smith had a bad memory, which made him famous. He was so forgetful that he sometimes forgot what he was talking about in the middle of a sentence. His wife had to constantly remind him about his meetings, his classes — even his meals! Once he forgot he had eaten breakfast twice, at home and at school. His wife liked to remind her neighbours, “If John didn’t have his head tied on, he would forget that too!” Since Smith was a professor at a well-known university, his forgetfulness was often an embarrassment to him. It wasn’t that he was not clever, as some critical people tended to say, but just very absent-minded.

One hot summer day, Professor Smith decided to take his children to a seaside town about a three-hour train ride away. To make the trip more interesting for his young children, he kept the name of the town a secret. However, by the time they arrived at the station, Smith forgot the name of the town he was planning to visit. Luckily, a friend of his happened to be in the station. He offered to take care of the children while Smith hurried back home to find out where he was going.

The professor’s wife was surprised to see him again so soon.

“Oh, my dear, I forget the name of the town.”

“What? You forget the name? Maybe one day you will forget my name! Now I’ll write the name of that town on a piece of paper, and you put it in your pocket and please, please don’t forget where you put it.”

Satisfied that she had solved the problem, she sent her husband off again. Ten minutes later she was astonished to see him outside the house for the third time.

“What is the matter now?” asked his wife.
