Retired army officer and Parkinson’s (帕金森) sufferer Guy Deacon traveled 18,000 miles down Africa across 25 countries to raise awareness about the condition of the disease in Africa.
It was at school when Deacon received a Wexas traveler’s handbook and on the front cover, there’s a picture of a couple of Land Rovers (路虎车) in the desert with the sun setting behind them. “And I thought, that’s what I want to do when I grow up. I’ve always had this idea to do this when I got the time and money put together.”
Traveling down Africa is a massive challenge for anyone, let alone someone with stage 3 Parkinson’s. It’s an incredibly dangerous journey due to the conflicts, road conditions, lack of services and crime. “Much of the journey I was traveling by myself, I had nobody to be responsible to besides myself. That was a little bit lonely, but I had a sense of achievement when I made it.”
Parkinson’s is the fastest growing illness worldwide and there are many people suffering with the condition in Africa. Deacon kept a boot (后备箱) full of pills in his car which he had intended to give away. Traveling there for months, he realized he couldn’t do that. Other travelers had shared their pills, but the quantity of pills was not enough. “It wouldn’t help for a short period of time, because they need continual pills.”
The experience in Africa left a deep impression on Deacon. He knew what life was like with Parkinson’s without pills. Going back to UK, he had a plan to appeal to more people to fund a foundation which can donate more pills to people with Parkinson’s in Africa.
4. What inspired Deacon to travel down Africa
A. Instructions in a traveler’s handbook. B. A scene in a picture on a book cover.
C. His former experience in the desert. D. His concern about people with Parkinson’s.
5. What do we know about Deacon’s journey
A. The extreme weather made it dangerous. B. He met someone with stage 3 Parkinson’s.
C. He enjoyed the feeling of challenging himself. D. He completed it thanks to the assistance of locals.
6. Why didn’t Deacon give away pills to people
A. Deacon needed the pills himself. B. Other travelers didn’t share their pills before.
C. His pills didn’t work on people in Africa. D. The quantity of pills couldn’t meet the need.
7. Which of the following can best describe Deacon
A. Skillful and tough. B. Responsible and talented.
C Thrill- loving and frank. D. Warm- hearted and determined.
C
“Mobile phone addiction” is a term used to describe the phenomenon of a person being glued to their phone. Researchers from the University of Granada (UGR) has proved that it’s not mobile phones themselves to which people are “addicted”, but rather the social interactions they promote. This study offers the first experimental scientific support for a theory initially proposed in 2018 by Samuel P. L. Veissiere, a scholar at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.
To conduct the experiment, the UGR scientists worked with a sample of 86 subjects who were divided into two groups. Group One was instructed to send a message via WhatsApp to their most active contacts explaining that they were going to participate in an exciting task in a VR universe(the same message in all cases). Group Two was not asked to send this “exciting” message to their contacts.
“Next, we asked both groups of people to mute (静音) their mobile phones and leave them face down on the table while they engaged in the activity. When the interaction with the VR world was over, we left the participants idle. After this period of inactivity, we allowed all the participants to return to using WhatsApp,” explains Jorge Lopéz Puga, lead author of the study.
Throughout the process, the UGR scientists measured the electrodermal activity of the skin, a parameter (参数) taken as a sign of the activity of our nervous system. “We observed that Group One was more tense throughout the experiment. We also found that this group became more anxious when they were asked to stop using their mobile phones. Moreover, when they were allowed to use their phones again, this group experienced a much higher level of emotional arousal (激动),” says Lopéz Puga.
The results show that mobile phones are not the cause of psychological problems but how and why the devices are used can better explain certain psychological problems.
8. What can be inferred about the theory put forward by Samuel P. L. Veissiere
A. It focused on the effects of social interactions.
B. It was inspired by the UGR scientists’ research.
C. It related mobile phone addiction to social interactions.
D. It was the first scientific theory about mobile phone addiction.
9. What is the difference between the two groups
A. Group One had more participants.
B. Group One was asked to text their contacts.
C. Group Two performed a task in the VR universe.
D. Group Two was requested to mute their mobile phones.
10. Which of the following can replace “idle” in Paragraph 3
A. Busy with their work. B. Eager to know the results.
C. Away from social activities. D. Unable to use their phones.
11. What did the UGR scientists find about Group One
A. They were more anxious in daily life. B. They had more psychological problems.
C. They experienced obvious mood changes. D. They were dependent on their mobile phones.
D
In Florida, rancher (农场主) Jim Strickland can see his cows at any time, day or night. To do this, all he needs is his phone. Based on GPS technology, Strickland uses virtual fencing to watch and control the movements of his animals.
Virtual fencing uses radio signals to make an invisible fence. Each animal wears a collar (颈圈) around its neck. The collar has a radio signal receiver and a GPS device that shows the animal’s location. The signals come from nearby mobile phone towers or base stations that can be moved using a small truck. Ranchers train livestock (牲畜) to connect a sound with a small electric shock. When an animal gets close to a virtual fence, its collar makes a warning sound. If the animal moves even closer to the fence, it receives a shock. In this way, livestock quickly learn to stay away from the fence. Ranchers can change the virtual fence boundaries quickly by using a phone App or computer. And livestock quickly learn the new boundaries.
By using virtual fencing, Strickland can remotely move his cows from one area to another and watch for animals that may be having problems. For example, if the system shows that a cow has not moved for many hours, it may be sick or injured. Virtual fencing can also help control grazing (放牧). William Burnidge, Deputy Director of TNC, an environmental non- profit organization, said that by changing fence boundaries, the systems prevent animals from eating too many plants within one area, which helps plants grow again.
An animal’s collar can cost $ 50 or even more annually. Last year, the Bezos Earth Fund awarded$ 9.9 million to Cornell University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences to develop cost- effective virtual fencing. The institution has outlined a plan to evaluate the effect of this technology in less- developed areas. In certain regions, Burnidge was aware of the significant role played by numerous workers in monitoring and caring for livestock, thus raising concerns that virtual fencing could result in unemployment.
Still, Burnidge said that many people wanted to learn more about the technology. “I’ve never seen anything comparable to the amount of interest,” he said.
12. What is the function of the collars
A. To track the location of the movable towers.
B. To send signals to the nearby base stations.
C. To prevent animals from crossing the boundaries.
D. To automatically adjust the borders of the fence.
13. What is the benefit of using virtual fencing
A. It protects animals from diseases. B. It promotes sustainable grazing.
C. It makes high profits for ranchers. D. It helps plants grow better.
14. What worried Burnidge
A. A collar cost too much money. B. It was hard to test the technology.
C. Livestock were left uncared. D. Virtual fencing could cause job loss.
15. What is the best title of this passage
A. Virtual Fencing Changes the Way of Grazing B. Grazing Faces Challenges in Some Areas
C. Magical Collars Do Good to the Environment D. Gps Technology Is Widely Used in Grazing

47. 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。
I was teaching Kama, my little sister, to grow plants. Dig a hole. Put in a seed. Cover it with dirt. Water it. Wait. “See, Kama,” I explained, “a whole plant will grow from this tiny seed. All we have to do is water it.”
Kama had her own watering bottle so she could “help” me in the garden. One day, after everything was watered, she ran to the fence and started sprinkling water on another spot. I walked over and saw a fresh patch of dirt near the fence.
“Did you plant something there ” I asked.
“Yes,” she said. “I’m growing a pencil. My purple pencil got too small, so I planted it.” “What But, Kama…”
I should have explained things right then, but I just muttered, “Uh... I never grew one before.”
Later I got what seemed like a great idea. I dug up Kama’s pencil and “planted” a brand new purple pencil. Kama was really excited when she saw it. “My pencil grew!” she shouted.
A few days later, Kama was watering on the same spot. Two days later, new crayons sticking their point y little heads out, thanks to me. Kama jumped up and down and yelled.
“They look like flowers!” She “picked” them and ran into the house.
Next, Kama grew an adult bear doll from a tiny one, a soup spoon from a teaspoon, and a hand mirror from a piece of glass. When she claimed that she had grown these things, I just kept my mouth shut! Actually, it was fun trying to think of what should grow from Kama’s seeds. And it was cool to see her get excited.
One day, I saw her patting down some dirt near the fence again, so I knew she’d just planted something. My heart dropped to my feet when she asked, “How long does it take to grow a goldfish, Brad ” I couldn’t speak.
“Not long, I bet!” said Kama. She knelt down (跪下) to whisper “Grow, Molly. Grow,” before she skipped back to the house.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

I sat down with my back to the fence and thought for a long time.

The next day, I found Kama sitting sadly by the spot where Molly was buried.

【答案】Dear Lucy,
I have just received your email about how to select a gift with Chinese characteristics. Considering the approaching Dragon Boat Festival, I have a perfect alternative for you.
In China, one of the typical gifts for Dragon Boat festival is called Xiangbao. It can take on various cute forms, such as hearts and stars. It is very popular among Chinese girls since it can be used to decorate their clothes, schoolbags or fans. The special herbs wrapped in it smell very nice. Best of all, it is said that it can drive away bad luck. If you are interested, I know an online shop that is known for its fair prices and designs of Xiangbao.
Best wishes!
Yours, Li Hua

【47题答案】
【答案】One possible version
I sat down with my back to the fence and thought for a long time. Sighing, I decided there was only one right thing to do. I got up, took some things from the shed, and went inside. When I displayed the short pencil, the crayons, the teaspoon... on the table, Kama was dumbfounded. Then I explained how I’d dug up and replaced all of her things. “No!” she screamed, red-faced. With a big shove, she knocked everything off the table. “Kama,” I swallowed hard and added, “Molly isn’t going to grow either.” At this, she burst into tears and ran off. The heart pierced with guilt, I felt like a worm.
The next day, I found Kama sitting sadly by the spot where Molly was buried. I sat down beside her, gently held her in my embrace and apologized. Kama turned her face away. I went on, ‘‘See, you can grow things from seeds—not from pencils or... dead things. OK ” “Just seeds ” she asked, face still tear-stained. I nodded. She looked at me for a minute as if thinking about something. Later that day, after we had a funeral for Molly, I saw Kama patting down some dirt on Molly’s grave. My heart tightened. “I’m growing some forget-me-nots, so Molly won’t forget me,” she said. This time, I thought “the green thumb” would have a real harvest.
