8、 after uploading the videos to YouTube, he gained millions of views from around the world. John said, “To think that tens of millions of people have been watching the birds from around the world is just incredible and quite overwhelming.”The sound engineer bought the bird box by accident. He placed
9、it on a willow tree in his back garden in March, and within hours two blue tits (蓝冠山雀) moved in and they had five chicks. At first, he only wanted to show his family what the birds were up to. John said, “Within a day the birds moved in, and I wanted to know what was going on inside. I started to li
10、vestream and do video highlights every day-on the first day 100 people watched it. It showed things like the chicks being fed in the nests as the parents carried in caterpillars (毛毛虫). After three months, I had 2, 000 subscribers.”John decided to put a final video together and keep it as short as po
11、ssible-showing the birds going into the nests, the eggs hatching, and the chicks fledging(长羽毛). Now despite the huge global success of the videos, John is unlikely to make enough for a nest egg of his own. He still needs to struggle for his family. But some people say they find it quite relaxing and
12、 genuinely fascinated by Johns videos. He said, “My personal challenge to myself was to get out of my comfortable zone. And I enjoy exploring new areas. But I keep in mind that I need to care for my family.”4Why did John livestream birds life at first?ATo kill time at home. BTo know more about the b

15、 Lover Makes Efforts to Protect Rare Blue TitsAn Australian professor is developing a robot to monitor the health of grazing cattle, a development that could bring big changes to a profession thats relied largely on a low-tech approach for decades but is facing a labor shortage. Salah Sukkarieh, a p
16、rofessor at the University of Sydney, sees robots as necessary given how cattlemen are aging. He is building a four-wheeled robot that will run on solar and electric power. It will use cameras and sensors to monitor the animals. A computer system will analyze the video to determine whether a cow is
17、sick. Radio tags (标签) on the animals will measure temperature changes. The quality of grassland will be tracked by monitoring the shape, color and texture (质地) of grass. That way, cattlemen will know whether they need to move their cattle to another field for nutrition purposes. Machines have largel
18、y taken over planting, watering and harvesting crops such as com and wheat, but the monitoring of cattle has gone through fewer changes. For Texas cattleman Pete Bonds, its increasingly difficult to find workers interested in watching cattle. But Bonds doesnt believe a robot is right for the job. Ye
19、ars of experience in the industry - and failed attempts to use technology - have convinced him that the best way to check cattle is with a man on a horse. Bonds, who bought his first cattle almost 50 years ago, still has each of his cowboys inspect 300 or 400 cattle daily and look for signs that an
20、animal is getting sick. Other cattlemen see more promise in robots. Michael Kelsey Paris, vice president of the Oklahoma Cattlemens Association, said a robot could be extremely useful given rising concerns about cattle theft. Cattle tend to be kept in remote places and their value has risen, making
21、them appealing targets.8What is a problem with the cattle-raising industry?ASoil pollution.BLack of workers.CAging machines.DLow profitability.9What will Sukkariehs robot be able to do?AMonitor the quality of grass.BCure the diseased cattle.CMove cattle to another field.DPredict weather changes.10Wh
22、y does Pete Bonds still hire cowboys to watch cattle?AHe wants to help them earn a living.BHe thinks men can do the job better.CHe is inexperienced in using robots.DHe enjoys the traditional way of life.11How may robots help with cattle watching according to Michael Kelsey?AIncrease the value of cat
23、tle.BBring down the cost of labor.CMake the job more appealing.DKeep cattle from being stolen.Papua New Guinea is an island nation north of Australia with a population of more than 9, 100. 000 people. It is recognized for its cultural diversity, as most of its population lives in traditional indigen
24、ous (土著的)communities.A result of this is that there are more than 850 active languages in the country todayThe earliest family of languages in the country, the Papua family appeared roughly 40, 000 years ago. The key to this language diversity is the isolationist (孤立主义的) tendencies of the tribes (部落
25、) within Papua New Guinea. Tribes never made contact with one another, so each different language faced little risk of mixing with other languages or being replaced. This changed with the arrival of Europeans in the 19th century. They introduced the people of apua New Guinea to English and other Eur
26、opean languages. The combination of English and native languages has resulted in a form of language called Tok Pisin, which is the most common language in the country. Speaking Tok Pisin and English can help a young Papua New Guinean find more opportunities outside of their villages. However, the di
27、sadvantage is that with more people speaking Tok Pisin or English, many of the indigenous languages are in danger. A study of indigenous languages in Papua New Guinea found that only 58% of students could speak an indigenous language. Meanwhile, 91% of their parents were fluent in their native tongu
28、es. If this pace continues, many of these languages are at risk. Some of Papua New Guineas languages are already in vulnerable places with fewer than 100 known speakers. Each language represents a piece of culture that could not be replaced if every speaker dies out. To help keep these languages ali
29、ve, linguists (语言学家) have worked with indigenous Papua New Guineans to create dictionaries and grammatical guides. Technology is used to record the language, meaning that even if the last known speaker of a language dies, evidence of the tongue still exists. While this can help keep a language from
30、dying, teaching indigenous languages in local schools can truly keep the languages alive. 12What has led to the language diversity in Papua New Guinea?AMany foreigners arrival in history. BLocal governments encouragement. CThe large population in this small country. DThe lack of communication betwee
31、n tribes. 13What do we know about Tok Pisin?AIt is usually spoken out of the country. BIt was invented completely by Europeans. CIt contributes to spreading native languages. DIt is popular among the younger generation. 14What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?AEspec
32、ially important. BAble to be easily hurt. CDifferent in some way. DIn a position of authority. 15What is the last paragraph mainly about?AThe importance of ancient languages. BWays to teach students native languages.CEfforts to preserve endangered languages.DThe bright future of indigenous languages
33、. 二、七选五Imagine that you are in a remote village somewhere with no medical clinic._16_Once the doctors get to you, they examine you and take blood samples, but they wont be able to help you until they take the samples back to the hospital to find out what is wrong._17_ Thanks to engineer Andy Ozcan,
34、many people may never be in this situation. He has invented an app that turns your mobile phone into a diagnostic (诊断的) tool. Ozcans invention is important because it is very accurate and easy to use. In many remote places, even if doctors have microscopes and other instruments to help them make dia
35、gnoses, there may still be other problems. Many doctors, for example, dont have enough training to correctly interpret what they see. _18_ With Ozcans mobile phone app, health workers can take a special photo of a blood sample and send it to a central computer at a hospital. The computer will then a
36、utomatically interpret the photo and send a diagnosis back in a few minutes. _19_ His technology only requires a mobile phone and an Internet connection. As more than four billion people already have cell phones, the cost of establishing the diagnostic system is fairly low. By inventing a medical to
37、ol that uses existing technologymobile phonesOzcan has developed a medical tool that is both practical and economical. Therefore, it can be effectively almost anywhere. _20_AAs a result, they may diagnose illnesses incorrectly.BPeople are trying to reduce the cost of this new medical tool.CThis tool
38、 has become much more popular all around the world.DAnother reason that Ozcans invention is important is that it is inexpensive.EYou become very sick and must wait days until a mobile medical unit arrives to help.FOzcans simple, cost-effective tool might just save millions of lives around the world.
