BMy best friend traveled to stay with our family last weekend. When she arrived, she went straight to the kitchen and, without asking, ate a spo

12、onful of raspberry jam and some dried fruit. She wasnt being rude. I knew she would do this. Weve known each other for almost 20 years. She can eat anything she wants from my kitchen. Indeed, I bought her favorite fruits and snacks at the shop that morning. Our long weekend together was luxuriously（

13、愜意地）simple. I was recovering from surgery （手術(shù)）and couldnt go to shopping malls. We passed the time running errands（做雜事）, going to the post office and collecting dry cleaning. We drank way too many cappuccinos. But we talked. About every little detail of our lives. Theres never been a quiet moment in

14、 our friendship. Weve lived in different cities for almost a decade. Reunions demand constant conversation. Our personalities are matched, to be sure, and a shared history is indescribably valuable. We were competitors in high school before bonding over a bad experience. Then we discovered the many

15、interests that we had in common. Our friendship cemented（鞏固）itself quickly. We stayed companions through law school, through our first jobs and our first boyfriends. We supported each other through break-ups and breakthroughs. Ours is a friendship for the ages. There is something special about frien

16、ds who know everyone and everything about you. They are rare. These are the people youve chosen to witness your life. They have seen the bright lights of achievement, the depths of despair（絕望）and the boring routine（平淡乏味）of the in-between. Its special to unpack feelings and frustrations without wasti

17、ng time filling in the blanks. As my long weekend shows, with such friends we dont have to “do”, we simply have to “be”. We drop the act, the performance, the public version of ourselves.

22、 forest to study monkeys and their habits and behaviors, how do they know whos who?In the past, scientists had to make marks on each of the animals to distinguish them. But in the future, they may have a much easier way to tell them apart thanks to facial recognition technology. A research team from

23、 Chinas Northwest University is using facial recognition technology to identify thousands of snub-nosed monkeys（金絲猴）that live on Qinling Mountain in Shaanxi province. Similar to human facial recognition, the technology that is used to identify monkeys uses their facial features to create a database（

24、數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)）that includes every monkey, Xinhua reported. “When the system is fully developed, we can connect it with cameras set up in the mountains. The system will automatically（自動(dòng)地）recognize the monkeys, name them and analyze their behavior,” said Zhang He, a member of the research team. “For each snub-n

25、osed monkey, we have 700 to 800 image samples, and the recognition success rate is 94 percent,” Zhang added. “We used mobile phones and portable（可攜帶的）cameras with the monkeys in tests at distances ranging from about 3 to 10 meters,” said He Gang, a member of the research team and an associate（副的）pro

26、fessor in the College of Life Sciences at Northwest University. “There is no need to interfere（打擾）with the monkeysSuch a method of sampling is clearly non-invasive（非侵入性的）.” Compared to humans, facial recognition technology for monkeys is more complicated because of their hairier faces. The color of

27、their hair causes them to blend（融入）into their environment. These factors make it harder for computers to identify them. “Monkeys do not cooperate with researchers in the same way humans do. It is difficult to take high-quality pictures and videos of them, which are needed to improve the system,” sai

28、d Li Baoguo, leader of the research team. Currently, there are about 4,000 snub-nosed monkeys living on Qinling Mountain. The teams goal is to successfully identify every monkey that lives there. 28. What problem do scientists face while studying monkeys according to the text?A. How to mark them. B.

29、 How to tell them apart.C. How to understand their behavior. D. How to observe them clearly29. What does the article tell us about facial recognition technology for monkeys?A. It is now widely adopted in China.B. It works better than human facial recognition.C. It will use monkeys behavior to create

30、 a database.D. It can help scientists study monkeys without disturbing them. 30. What does “these factors” in paragraph 8 refer to?a. Image samples. b. Hairy faces. c. Hair color. d. The environment. A. ab B. ac C. bc D. bd31. What is the authors main purpose in writing the article?A. To introduce a

31、 new way to identify monkeys.B. To show the importance of studying monkeys.C. To compare different ways to identify monkeys.D. To explain difficulties in developing a new system. DIts a pity that deaf people, or those who have hearing problems, cant enjoy music. But now a vibrating（振動(dòng)的）suit brings t

32、hem hopeit can allow them to “feel” music through their skin, rather than hear it. Designed by the US technology company Not Impossible Labs, the suit consists of a body harness（全身式安全帶）, ankle and wrist straps（腕帶）. Music is sent to the suit wirelessly. Then the suit is able to translate it into a ra

33、nge of vibrating pulses（節(jié)拍）, which can be felt at a total of 24 contact points all over the body. The users can adjust the intensity（強(qiáng)度）of the vibrations. Chase Burton, 33, a deaf filmmaker from Texas, US, has been testing out the suit for four years. He understands that a deaf persons experience wi

34、th music is very different. “When I was a kid, Id lie on the floor above our garage so I could feel the vibrations from my brothers band rocking out below my body,” Burton told CNN. Now when he wears the vibrating suit, he says the sound hits different parts of his body. “Maybe it will strike me dow

35、n in my ankles first. And then Ill start to feel the vibrations in my back. And then Ill feel some pulsations in my wrist,” Burton said. The designers have been working on extending the tactile（觸覺的）musical experience to a larger deaf community. In 2016, a dozen prototype（樣品）suits were tested at a La

36、dy Gaga concert in the US. The suit was also tested at a different concert in Las Vegas in 2018. It was given to 150 audience members at the concert where half the audience members were deaf and half could hear. At the same time, the company has been improving the technology, saying its ready to go

37、to market soon. The suit may be used in live sports broadcasts, video games or theme parks. The final goal is to make the technology available to all. “We truly think that anything that has an audio element（元素）can also have a vibrational experience associated with it as well,” the companys talent an

38、d business development director, Jordan Richardson, told CNN. 32. How does the vibrating suit help people with hearing problems?A. It sends sounds to their ears through a wire.B. It improves their contact points all over the body.C. It turns music into vibrating pulses that can be felt.D. It changes

39、 the intensity of sounds based on the users. 33. Why is Burtons experience mentioned?A. To show how difficult it is for a deaf person to enjoy music.B. To tell readers different ways that people enjoy music.C. To express regret for not having the technology earlier.D. To ask designers to make user-f

40、riendly products for deaf people. 34. What do we know about the suit?A. It is widely used at concerts. B. It is well received by the market.C. It is being improved to further its use. D. It works better with people who can hear. 35. What does Richardson think of the technology?A. It has a bright fut

41、ure. B. It costs too much.C. It is the most advanced. D. It is of little practical use.第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。You may have heard of Niagara Falls, one of the biggest waterfalls in the world.
