Unit 4 A glimpse of the future
Ⅰ.阅读理解(每题2.5分,共20分)
A
Some talk of building settlements on the Moon or Mars to help make sure humanity survives long into the future.Others have their sights set closer to home:on future cities under the ocean.
“Technologically speaking,it is absolutely possible to explore the bottom of the sea,” says Fabien Cousteau,a well-known ocean explorer who once spent 31 days living in what is now the world’s only functioning undersea habitat,Aquarius Reef Base.It’s about the size of a school bus and located below the ocean surface in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
Just as astronauts test what it would be like to live in space,aquanauts (海底观察员) try out undersea living with an eye to the future.Escaping from disasters such as climate change or wars is one reason to live under the sea.Others include studying,exploring,or appreciating the ocean.It’s costly and expensive to constantly keep up an ocean habitat which must pump in or make its own air,electricity,and fresh water.Inhabitants have to deal with high pressure.And infections can develop rapidly due to high humidity.
Despite the challenges,several new ocean habitats and cities are under construction.A series of space station-like undersea living quarters for aquanauts called Proteus are scheduled to be completed by 2025 off Curacao,an island north of Venezuela in South America.An undersea station called Vent Base Alpha will be built near a hydrothermal (热液的) vent,which would supply it with energy.Meanwhile,an undersea city called Ocean Spiral in Japan would link its surface to the deep sea,using the difference in pressure to generate energy and produce fresh water.This sounds amazing,but it would be extremely expensive and remains just a design.
Not everyone agrees that building homes in the ocean is a good idea.This type of development could place even more strain on ecosystems that are already struggling with pollution and climate change.It’s important to make sure that any construction is done carefully,says Susanne Menden-Deuer,an oceanographer at the University of Rhode Island.Wild undersea habitats should be treated as “the precious,irreplaceable resource that they are,” she says.
( )1.What do we know about Aquarius Reef Base
[A] It is still under construction.
[B] It functions as an undersea school bus.
[C] It is the only ocean habitat in operation.
[D] It only allows a person to live there for 31 days.
( )2.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
[A] The present and future of living under the sea.
[B] The reasons and challenges of living under the sea.
[C] The purpose and cost of building undersea settlements.
[D] The problems and findings of building undersea settlements.
( )3.What would be the result of building homes in the ocean according to the text
[A] Rapid development of undersea habitats.
[B] Protection of irreplaceable ocean resources.
[C] Negative impacts on undersea ecosystems.

Glasgow University researchers have created a laser camera using AI and quantum technologies to remotely detect a person’s heartbeat,potentially changing health monitoring. Professor Faccio imagines various applications,such as setting up this technology in shopping malls or fixing laser heart monitors in homes.These monitors could be part of an extensive system tracking different health aspects,such as blood pressure and slight changes in movement,indicating early signs of conditions like Alzheimer’s.
Monitoring a person’s heartbeat from a distance holds significant value,as it can detect irregularities like abnormal heart rates,providing crucial warnings of potential heart issues.In contrast to the traditional use of stethoscopes (听诊器),this system overcomes limitations associated with proper stethoscope usage,such as the need for training and the potential reduction of heartbeat signals.
The system developed by Faccio and his team involves high-speed cameras which can record images at speeds of 2,000 frames per second.A laser beam is shone onto the skin of a person’s throat and the reflections are used to measure exactly how much their skin is rising and falling as their main artery (动脉) expands and contracts as blood is forced through it.These changes involve movements of only a few billionths of a metre.
Such acuity is striking,though on its own the tracking of these tiny changes would not be enough to track a heartbeat.Other,much larger movements occur on a person’s chest—from their breathing,for example—which would flood signals from their heartbeat.
“That is where AI comes in,” Faccio said.“We use advanced computing systems to separate out everything except the vibrations caused by a person’s heartbeat.We know the frequency range of the human heartbeat,and the AI focuses on that.The prime use of this technology—which we hope to have ready next year—will be to measure heartbeats easily and quickly outside hospitals.The benefits could be considerable.”
( )5.What can the laser camera be used for
[A] Improving the usage of stethoscope.
[B] Measuring blood pressure remotely.
[C] Recording images of the human throat.
[D] Detecting a person’s heartbeat from a distance.
( )6.What does Paragraph 3 focus on as for this system
[A] How it works.
[B] Where it is used.
[C] Whom it benefits.
[D] What it is composed of.
( )7.Which is closest in meaning to “acuity” in Paragraph 4
[A] Consistency. [B] Complexity.
[C] Sensitivity. [D] Intensity.
( )8.What role does AI play in this system
[A] To measure skin movements.
[B] To recognise heartbeat vibrations.
[C] To record images at high speeds.
[D] To shine a laser beam on the skin.

It was a bright spring afternoon along the Maryland coast,and Jonathan Bauer,41,a technology executive at a hospital,and his 13-year-old daughter,Ava,were taking full advantage of it.They were driving with the windows down as they headed home on the two-lane Route 90 bridge,which spans the shallow waters of Assawoman Bay.Suddenly,the calm was disturbed by the scream of tires.
Not far ahead of them,a black truck was sliding from one lane to the other.To the Bauers’ horror,it crashed into a concrete barrier,spun like a circle,jumped over the car directly ahead of them,and came to rest hanging over the railing (栏杆) of the bridge.Bauer hit the brakes in time to avoid the vehicles in his path.
And then another scream.It came from the truck,which had come to rest on its right side.The driver’s door flung open and a man climbed out.He dropped to the ground,then rushed to the railing.Bauer ran up beside him.The man pointed down,saying something in Spanish.In the water was a car seat.Moving next to it,a girl,about two years old.
Matters quickly went from bad to frightening when the little girl rolled over onto her stomach.Bauer waited for the truck driver to do something,but he was rooted.Maybe he was in shock.
He was not sure about his chances jumping from this height into such shallow water.Four feet of depth was the most he could hope for—he’d gotten his boat stuck here a time or two.And were there rocks so close to the concrete pillar (桥墩) of the bridge But the truck driver didn’t move.Time ticking by,he had to take action.“Ava!” Bauer yelled,ready to remove his shoes.“Stay by the car!”

One possible version:
Then he climbed onto the railing. Taking a deep breath,he let go of the railing and jumped.The cold water surrounded him,but he managed to steady himself and began swimming towards the girl.As he got closer,he could see her face more clearly.She was crying,but her eyes were wide open, looking at him with fear and hope.Bauer reached out and gently took hold of her.When they broke through the surface,Bauer could hear shouts and cheers from above.
Finally he reached the shore with the little girl in his arms. As they were lifted out of the water,the truck driver finally came to himself.Bauer looked down at the girl.She was still crying,but her grip on him had loosened.She looked at him with wide,grateful eyes.“It’s okay,sweetie,” Bauer said,trying to comfort her.“You’re safe now.” And as he looked into her eyes,he knew that this moment,this rescue,would stay with him forever.It was a reminder of the power of kindness and courage,and the importance of being there for each other in times of crisis.
