17、 University in Houston, Texas have developed a fabric-based (基于织物的) wearable tool that “hits” users wrists (腕关节) with pressurized air, silently guiding them to their finishing point. The study, put out on August 29 in the magazine Device, showed that users could correctly read which direction the to
18、ol was telling them to go since the wearable uses air instead of electronics, it can be built lighter than present designs.The wearables may benefit people with hearing loss, and experts such as doctors, pilots, and soldiers who are crowded with signs and sounds.But while tools that produce signs or
19、 sounds are prevalent in everyday life, tools that use touch-based signs are still uncommon.To get over this difficulty, the Rice University researchers developed a light, comfortable wearable tool from fabric materials that can be worn on a users arm. The team tested the tool by measuring forces ap
20、plied to the user as a function of pressure and the shape of the wearable.“Every person has a differently shaped arm, a different feeling of what feels good in terms of the forces applied and the timing of the forces, and different abilities in responding to the type of touch-based signs we sent,” s
21、aid Barclay Jumet the lead author of the study. “Fortunately, our fabric-based wearable tool is easily tailorable (可定制的) and adjustable (可调节的) to a series of body types and sizes.”After testing the performance of the touch-based wearable tool in a lab-based study, the researchers set out to see how
22、well these tools could guide users in a real-world situation. “We were amazed that the user was able to find his way around the streets of Houston and later follow 50 meters long on an open field with 100% exactness in receiving and reading touch-based signs,” said Daniel Preston, the co-author of t
23、he study,“Further development will seek to improve the ability to pass on even more difficult signs that are easily and naturally noticed by the user,” said Preston.8Why are the wearable tools lighter?AThe wrist requires lighter tools.BThe fabric of the tool is light.CThey use air to “hit” users wri

26、, co-founder of LG, a German climate (气候) group, once spent six days in prison after being arrested during a public gathering against “new normal”. She tells me that she just wanted to have a peaceful life, spend some time with the people she loved and start a family. But finally, she says, shed be
27、willing to be in prison even longer if it might make a difference. “I started to realize that no matter whether Im in prison or not, I will never have those things.”I have been turning over her words for what happened later. Vermont experienced storms last week, causing floods and resulting in death
28、s. An extreme heat brought the number of people in one Phoenix emergency room to levels never seen since the COVID-19 pandemic. The ocean water around the Florida Keys reached a temperature of over 90F, seriously endangering coral reefs.Many well-meant statesmen mention whats happening as “new norma
29、l”. Its meant, of course, to point out the long-term effects of putting large amounts of greenhouse gases into air. But the phrase of “new normal”, to me, also has the suggestion that now, at least, is “normal,” as if weve been riding a lift of global (全球的) temperature rise, and just arrived at the
30、top floor. “It surely is hot up here at the new normal, but good thing is that it wont get any worse.”Unfortunately, though, it will. The changes we are experiencing are only quickening. Each new season is a baseline from which things will get stranger still. Therell be yet more heat domes, storms,
31、and flooding, coming at a faster and faster speed. By 2050, the world could be dealing with 1.2 billion climate refugees (难民) escaping for their lives.One thing from Guttmanns words is clear: However bad things are now, theyre set to get a whole lot worse. We need to have the awareness that there is
32、 no “new normal” where we can stop to catch our breath. And, if we dont do something, things will get worse.12Why is Guttmanns story mentioned?ATo explore what is behind the story.BTo describe what life holds in the future.CTo explain the cause of her being in prison.DTo experience her feeling of di
33、sappointment.13What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us?AThe climate disasters.BThe storm.CThe extreme heat.DThe high water temperature.14Which view concerning “new normal” will cause an argument?AThe statesmen propose “new normal” with a good purpose.B“New normal” alarms the long-term impact of climate
34、 changeCThings about global temperature at “new normal” wont be worse.DWhat Guttmann wants will probably come to nothing at such a “new normal”.15What is the authors attitude toward Guttmanns concern?AUnclear.BSupportive.CDoubtful.DNegative.二、七选五Do you have some habits like emotional (情绪的) eating or
35、 spending money to reduce stress? 16 Here we are coming to discuss some habit-breaking strategies (策略).We first take an example. When you are in a movie theater with hot dogs, the movie theater is the invitation, and hot dogs buying and eating are the behaviors.The habit-breaking choices are: One, t
36、ell yourself “no hot dog” each time; two, avoid going to the movies at all; or three, exchange the hot dog with a new movie snack that you can afford or achieve your nutritional goals. The key to this strategy is to make sure that the new habit is similarly attractive. 17 Not every habit-breaking st
37、rategy works for every habit. For example, maybe you want to eat a piece of oil cake in the break room when you arrive at school. 18 Maybe, you might as well try to develop a new habit of eating healthier breakfast food at the same time, instead. 19 The only way habit-breaking works is to use the st
38、rategy repeatedly. A 2009 study of 96 people in the European Journal of Social Psychology showed that individuals took between 18 and 254 days to form a habit.Finally, success isnt perfection with habit breaking. Habit should be thought of as a continuum (连续体). Things become more or less habitual. 2
39、0 And youll know youre making progress when you feel less influenced by the habit, not when it is gone.AInstead of erasing a habit, you need to reduce its impact.BWhichever strategy you choose, the key is to do it over and over.CA low-fat cookie or an after-work walk are more believable changes.DThe
40、 way to break a habit depends on the behavior you want to prevent.EThe behaviors are performed automatically in response to an invitation.FThey can have negative effects in the long term and often need to be broken.GIt wont work to refuse the invitation, because you cant stop going to class.三、完形填空Pa

43、 by Pauls 27 !Paul spent two days searching for Daisy when he ran into one of Daisys friends. The friend 28 message Daisy. “I am so happy and 29 him. He is now living: in a hostel (临时收容所), yet took no money out of it,” said Daisy. But then she read the 30 Paul put in the wallet about wanting to do t
44、he right thing. All of a sudden Daisy knew what she 31 to do in return. She started a Go-Fund-Me page explaining that Paul found her lost wallet and his current 32 situation. She was determined to put a roof over his head. She was hoping to 33 $1,500. To her great surprise, she received over $5,000
