21、The invention of the 1D barcodes revolutionized supermarkets and general market management. But shortly after their introduction, their disadvantages were clear. There was an instant demand to be able to encode (编码) more than 20 alphanumeric characters (字符) that the traditional barcodes could hold.

Denso Wave, a Japanese company, at the time, was in the business of manufacturing 1D barcode scanners. Listening to feedback from users of the 1D barcode scanners they were selling, they put together a development team to come up with a solution.

One of the key targets was to ensure that no matter what barcode they designed, it can be scanned very fast. It took the team nearly 18 months, and eventually they came up with a barcode that could hold up to 7,000 alphanumerical characters and could be scanned up to 10 times faster than any other code at the time. In 1994, the QR Code was born.

The QR Code quickly spread outside of Japan and were approved for many standards globally. But that wasn’t the end of the development of the QR Code. After all, nothing is perfect at its beginning and people soon began to present more requirements to Denso Wave. The variations (变体) of the QR Code were soon developed.

One of the biggest reasons why the QR Code has been able to be used widely is that Denso Wave made the decision to make the QR Code publicly available. This means anyone can use it without paying any fees. Denso Wave do hold a patent for the QR Code, but have declared that they have no intention to exercise it.

It wasn’t until 2002 that the first smartphones came to market with the QR Code scanner, and this really accelerated the technology. Once widespread on phones, almost anyone can read these codes and doesn’t require expensive hardware to do so. It is believed that Nokia is the first to bring this technology to a mobile device.

【1】What is the disadvantage of the 1D barcodes?

A．The information they store is too little.

B．They sometimes encoded wrong characters.

C．They disturbed general market management.

D．They could only be used in some supermarkets.

【2】What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A．A character.

B．A scanner.

C．A barcode.

D．Denso Wave.

【3】What is a reason why the QR Code spreads so quickly?

A．It has been protected by a patent.

B．The public are permitted to use it for free.

C．It has been perfect since its first appearance.

D．People have fewer demands for its variations.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．An introduction of the QR Code.

B．The disadvantages of the 1D barcodes.

C．A famous development team.

D．The reasons for developing the QR Code.

22、   Hikers, soldiers and school children all know the burden of a heavy backpack. But now, researchers from three Chinese institutes have developed a prototype(雏形) that not only makes loads feel about 20% lighter, but also harvests energy from human movements to power small electronics.

The new backpack, reported in ACSNano, could be especially useful for athletes, explorers and disaster rescuers who work in remote areas without electricity, the researchers say.

Backpacks are widely used in everyday life for the hands-free carrying of loads. Over time, however, walking or running with a heavy bag can cause back and neck pain. Also, backpackers in wilderness areas or even those in cities who don’t have ready access to a charger might wish for a bag that could harvest the mechanical energy of walking to power portable electronics or health-monitoring sensors.

Previously, researchers have used triboelectric nanogenerators(TENG) –– small devices that convert mechanical energy into electricity –– to make energy-harvesting backpacks, but those bags had relatively low power outputs and they didn’t provide added benefits, such as load lightening or shock absorption. Zhong Lin Wang, Jia Cheng and their colleagues wanted to design a prototype that overcame these limitations.

To save labor and absorb shock, the researchers installed two elastomers(弹性体) into the backpack that stretched and shrank, keeping the bag steady as the wearer walked. This resulted in about a 20% reduced force on the wearer. Meanwhile, the movement between the frame of the backpack and its load during walking drove a TENG to convert mechanical energy into electricity, with 14% efficiency.

“The researchers showed that the bag could power LEDs, an electric watch and fluorescent tubes. Once some challenges, such as improving the energy conversion efficiency, are overcome, the backpack has promising potential as a power source for small-scale wearable and portable electronics, GPSs and health care sensors,” the researchers say.

【1】Who will be the most probable users of the new backpack?

A．Doctors in the hospital.

B．Workers in the factory.

C．Researchers in the science lab.

D．People traveling to unknown places.

【2】What is the function of Paragraph 4?

A．Provide some background information.

B．Make comments about the new invention.

C．List the disadvantages of the new backpack.

D．Compare TENG and the new backpack.

【3】Which makes it easier for wearers to carry the backpack?

A．TENG.

B．Two elastomers.

C．Fluorescent tubes.

D．Health care sensors.

【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．The new backpack could hit the market soon.

B．The new backpack needs further improvement.

C．Consumers are in need of chargeable backpacks.

D．The researchers have difficulty meeting challenges.

23、If you like spend more time outside close to home, you may notice a lot more of what happens naturally in your neighborhood. 【1】. That’s called “citizen” or “community” science. Thousands of community science projects are out there. Here’s how to get started.

Figure out what sparks your curiosity. Ask yourself what gets you excited about nature. Do you love observing the weather? Are you concerned about the water quality, where you live? 【2】 Then there’s going to be a project about them.

【3】 All you need is a smartphone or a computer for most community science projects. Check out Citizen Science.gov to learn more and find projects in the database. If you’re interested in a broader topic but you’re not sure exactly what you want to study, you can choose a broader topic like “astronomy and space” and see a range of available projects. 【4】. Naturalist allows you to record your observations to share with fellow naturalists. Or Bird is a great way to turn your bird watching hobby into a service for scientists, too.

You can be a citizen scientist no matter where you live. People often see nature, especially if you live in a city, as something that is far away or hard to get to. In fact, studying nature can happen everywhere, even in the cracks of the sidewalk. You don’t have to be out in the wilderness.【5】

A．Gather your tools.

B．Tum to naturalists.

C．Just step outside and start your observation.

D．Or you might be really into birds or flowers.

E．Citizen science can be fun and sometimes quite interesting.

F．If you have a good idea of what you’re interested in, you can turn to a specialized app.

G．Regular people like you and me can share what we see with scientists through apps and websites.
