二、阅读理解
Every time mask wearers cough, or make certain facial expressions, their face covering shifts-and a busy worker may not have time to recheck mask fit each time one of these movements occurs. "This can cause anxiety," says Josiah Hester, developer of FaceBit-a device that tracks a face covering's fit and wear time, as well as its wearer's vital signs. His colleagues who work in clinical settings have been communicating their concerns to him, saying, "Give me something that can watch me because I don't have the time to take care of myself as I'm going about my clinical duties, taking care of this influx (涌入)of patients." And that's where it started, Hester explains.
Rather than developing an entire "smart mask, " which might be impractical to reuse, Hester's team created an electronic device, a little larger than a quarter, that attaches to a face covering with a clip (夹子) and contains several sensors. A pressure sensor detects leaks, indicating how well a mask is fitting. Pressure changes also let the FaceBit determine when the mask is over someone's face, so it can record wear time. The FaceBit additionally monitors heart rate and measures breathing rate. A Bluetooth connection send these data to a companion phone app. The device is powered by a battery, charged with energy harvested from the mask's motions as its wearer moves and breathes.
A fit monitor could be very useful for health care workers wearing a mask all day, says Lisa Brosseau, a research consultant. But she is not convinced that FaceBit can consistently measure fit. "It has some promise, perhaps, but they have not validated it in a way that I would accept."
Hester plans to continue testing and improving the project. His team will distribute some FaceBits and let people use them, experiment and play with them. Other researchers will also be able to improve the energy-harvesting components and extend the battery life. They could even add new sensors that would open up more uses for such a device.
1. Where did Josiah Hester's inspiration to develop FaceBit come from
A. One of his patients. B. A research consultant.
C. His personal experience. D. His co-workers' request.
2. How can a mask wearer get information from FaceBit
A. By checking the companion phone app. B. By reading the measurer on it.
C. By communicating with a wearable recorder. D. By viewing the watch attached to it.
3. What can we infer about Josiah Hester's project
A. It is of unlimited use. B. It is well received.
C. It calls for cooperation. D. It has gained profits.
4. What is the purpose of the text
A. To share a clinical experiment. B. To introduce an electronic device.
C. To recommend a smart face covering. D. To analyze risks of not wearing masks.

答案以及解析
一、填空
1.答案:that
解析:本题主要考查固定搭配。结合句意,正是由于这个原因,西班牙语是秘鲁的主要官方语言。It is/ was + 被强调部分 + that + 其它部分,为强调句。因此此处应用 that。故正确答案为 that。
2.答案:that
解析: 考查强调句。句意:你的努力工作将使你的梦想成真。"it is/was+被强调部分+that句子其他成分"为强调句的基本句型, 此处对主语your hard work进行强调, 空处需填that。故填that。
3.答案:that
解析:考查强调句型。句意:庆祝活动将于下周一在学校礼堂举行,很多知名人士都会来参加这次庆祝活动。分析句子结构可知,此处为强调句型,强调的是地点状语in the school hall,故填that。
4.答案:Were
解析:考查虚拟语气和倒装。句意:如果我是你,我会带一些合适的礼物,比如我们自己国家的纪念品。由句意和主句谓语的形式可知此处使用了虚拟语气,表示与现在事实相反,省略了if,把be动词提前,be动词用were,故填Were。
5.答案:Gone
解析:考查完全倒装。有时为了强调, 可将作表语的形容词置于句首, 从而引起完全倒装。
6.答案:was
解析:考查倒装、时态和主谓一致。介词短语Below us on our right位于句首引起倒装,句子真正的主语是a thickly wooded valley,故be动词应用单数形式;又根据句意可知,此处应用一般过去时。
7.答案:Had
解析:句意为: 如果他们被告知在那个孤岛上旅游有危险, 现在就不会被困住了。根据语境可知, 被告知危险是对过去情况的虚拟, 从句的时态应用过去完成时。此句考查的是虚拟语气条件句中的倒装, 从句中的if可以省略, 把had提到从句的主语前。故填Had。
8.答案:So
解析:句意为: 她是如此专心地做作业, 以至于没注意到外边天黑了。根据后面的buried was she in doing及that可以推断出, 这里是考查so...that...的倒装结构, 即"So+形容词/副词"置于句首, 主句用部分倒装。故填So。
9.答案:buried
解析:考查状语从句的省略。句意:当他埋头工作时,他总是忘记吃饭和睡觉。短语be buried in,译为"专注于", when引导的时间状语从句,主语和主句主语一致,可以省略主语和be动词,从句还原为When he is deeply buried in work,故填buried。
10.答案:listening
解析:考查状语从句的省略。当while引导的状语从句的主语同主句主语一致且从句谓语包含be动词的某种形式时,可省略从句的主语和be动词。此处从句补充完整为while the old man was listening to the radio。
二、阅读理解
答案:1-4 DACB
解析:1.细节理解题。根据第一段的His colleagues who work in clinical settings have been communicating their concerns to him, saying, "Give me something that can watch me because I don't have the time to take care of myself as I'll taking care of this influx (涌入) of patients." And that's where it started, Hester explains.(他在临床环境中工作的同事一直在向他表达他们的担忧,他们说:"给我一些可以观察我的东西,因为我没有时间照顾自己,因为我正在履行我的临床职责,照顾大量涌入的患者。"海丝特解释说,这就是它的起源。)可知,约西亚·海丝特开发FaceBit的灵感来自他的同事的要求。故选D。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段的A Bluetooth connection send these data to a companion phone app.(蓝牙连接会将这些数据发送到配套的手机应用程序。)可知,戴口罩的人通过检查配套手机应用程序,从FaceBit上获取信息。故选A。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段的Other researchers will also be able to improve the energy-harvesting components and extend the battery life.(其他研究人员也将能够改进能量收集组件并延长电池寿命。)可知,Josiah Hester的项目需要合作。故选C。
4.写作意图题。根据第二段的 Rather than developing an entire "smart mask, " which might be impractical to reuse, Hester's team created an electronic device(海丝特的团队没有开发出一个可能无法重复使用的完整的"智能面具",而是创造了一种电子设备)可知,文章的目的是介绍一种电子设备。故选B。
