20、al Ballet School(RBS),even performing asa student in a Royal Ballet staging of The Nutcrackeronly to see his hopes of becoming aprofessional dancer hit by a condition that affected his mobility.During his fourth year of training,he developed injuries following a period of growth,leading to surgery o

21、n his left knee.Complications(并发症)developed and a serious car accidenttook a further toll on his body,bringing his training to an end.Aged 15,he was using a wheelchairand assumed he would never dance again.But his life was transformed after his mother spotted a leaflet about wheelchair dancing,which

22、 played a part in helping him to accept his disability.Powell-Main recalled,“When Iacquired my disability,I completely thought dance wasnt an option for me and was completelyover.Then why not ballet?In terms of partnering,its a new way of doing things.”He took part in the Royal Ballets platform Draf

23、t Works,which has now been extended andhell perform it as a 10-minute duet(双人舞)with Lubach.“Powell-Main made an impression onme.Dancing with him was really special,which has opened up refreshing possibilities,new waysof partnering,sharing weight between each other,using speed and dynamic in differen

24、t ways,”Lubach said.Emma Southworth,the Royal Ballets creative producer,said,“If someone has a wheelchair,what are the possibilities of moving in a wheelchair?If the stick becomes the extension of the arm,what does that mean?If were really being properly inclusive,weve got to look at how we workwith

28、mer.Voice jammers work much like noise-cancelling headphones,which effectively removeunwanted background sound waves out of existence by playing back a copy of the unwantedsound with is wave pattern inverted(反向的).Such voice jammers generally stop electronic eavesdropping(窃听)on conversations bybroadc

29、asting inverse sound waves that affect all microphones within earshot.This can prevent nearby peoples phones from picking up their voices if they try to make acall,and can stop them interacting with smart assistants,warning that something strange is goingon.Now Qiben Yan at Michigan State University

30、 and his colleagues have created a voice jammerthat can target a specific voice without causing interruption to anyone else.They did this bytraining an artificial intelligence called a neural network to isolate(隔断)a speakers voice,allowing the jammer to create an inverse sound matched to their speec

31、h.Rather than sending an audible sound,their tool,called Neural Enhanced Cancellation(NEC),makes use of a bug found in all but the most expensive microphones.This bug introduces soundsat set distances above and below the microphones recording frequencies.NEC is able to play itsinverse speech in the

32、ultrasonic(超声波)range,so that humans cant hear it.Doing this at thepoint of recording provides the necessary frequencies to secretly block an audible voice.The team found that NEC blocked voices on a range of smartphones fromApple,Xiaomi andSamsung at a distance of up to 3.6 metres.And this technolog

33、y could be useful.28.How do voice jammers prevent a speech from being recorded?A.By playing inverse sound waves.B.By interacting with smart assistants.C.By keeping wave pattern unchanged.D.By broadcasting different sound waves.29.What does Paragraph 6 focus on?A.Stressing the importance of NEC.B.Sho

36、 items are the worst when looking at both nutritional andenvironmental impacts of thousands of food and drink products sold in the UK and Ireland.So far,most studies have focused on the environmental impact of goods such as beef or beans,rather thantofu and other products that shoppers often buy.Whe

37、re research has focused on such products,ithas usually been for a small number of them.In a bid to bridge the gap,Micheal Clark at the University of Oxford and his colleaguesanalyzed more than 57,000 food and drink products sold in the UK and Ireland.The team took theingredients(成份)data from eight r

38、etailers(零售商),including major supermarkets Tesco andSainsburys.However,precise figures on how much of each ingredient is in each product wereonly available for around a tenth of them.To estimate the rest,Clark and his colleagues trained analgorithm(算法)on the known products and used it to predict the

39、 composition of the unknownones.Finally,the team linked all the ingredients to an existing database of environmental impacts,including emissions(排放),land use and water stress.The results may come as no surprise:meat,fish and cheese products had highestenvironmentalimpact while fruit,vegetables,bread

40、 and sugary drink products had the lowest burden.Clarkadmits that none of this is exciting,given what we already knew from past research.“What isimportant is that you can start getting these impact estimates for products that people arepurchasing,which then has a lot of effects,”he says.One of those

41、 is eco-lables,which can help consumers to make greener choices.However,retailers have struggled in the past with the challenge of the large number of food.Clark isthinking about how to eventually turn the data into an app that could be used either by shoppers orby retailers wanting to reduce their

42、environmental impact.“Weve made that information availablein a way that means people can start making informed decisions,”he says.32.What is the purpose of Clarks study?A.To solve the environmental problems with some products.B.To point out the mistakes of the previous research.C.To focus on the imp

43、ortant ingredients data from retailers.D.To estimate the environmental impact of frequently-bought products.33.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A.The process of Clarks study.B.The result of Clarks study.C.The significance of Clarks study.D.The limitation of Clarks study.34.What can be inferre

44、d about Clarks study from Paragraph 3?A.Surprising.B.Worrying.C.Meaningful.D.Doubtful.35.Which of the following products should people buy according to Clarks study?A.Nutritious food like beef and eggs.B.Green food like carrots and bananas.C.Healthy food like fish and tofu.D.Fresh food like milk and

45、 chicken.第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。To hug or not to hug?Thats the question right now.36Depending on where youlive,many of us are vaccinated(打疫苗).But its hard to know for sure before you hug whether ornot the person youre leaning into has got vaccinated.

46、Meanwhile,many of us are longing for thewarmth of a hug after long stretches of social isolation.Humans biologically need touch,and agood long hug is one of the best ways to get it.Degge White,a professor at Northern Illinois University,says that our need for a hug goes allthe way back to the surviv

47、al of our species.When were born,we cant care for ourselves and weneed to be comfortable with being held in order to survive.37“When we hug,our brainsrelease oxytocin,the bonding hormone(荷尔蒙),as well as serotonin and endorphins.”38Because for humans,the security of our small groups and later communi

48、tieswas very important to survival.Close contact helped build civilization.As a result,our brains needeach other and when we miss out,it can have psychological repercussions(心理影响).“When wecant hug,we dont get that feeling of good hormones.”We may not know what were getting from greeting our friends

49、and family with a hug;wejust enjoy it.39An air greeting is not enough.Research published in the journalPsychological Science has shown that hugging has a“stress buffering(缓冲)”effect that may evenprotect us from illness and infections.Some people grow up in more formal households where hugging isnt c

50、ommon.Others mayexperience abuse that makes hugging unpleasant.In both cases,when children dont experiencehealthy touch,it can impact their development.Kids who didnt grow up being held miss out onthat sense of safety and protection.They may act out or isolate from those aroundthem.40Some children m
