This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence (节奏) with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user's typing and the time between key presses. ‎ These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people's identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it's connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.‎ It also doesn't require a new type of technology that people aren't already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.‎ In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch”four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.‎ ‎21. Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?‎ A. To reduce pressure on keys. B. To improve accuracy in typing C. To replace the password system. D. To cut the cost of e-space protection.‎ ‎22. What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible？‎ A. Computers are much easier to operate. B. Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.‎ C. Typing patterns vary from person to person. D. Data security measures are guaranteed.‎ ‎23. What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard？‎ A. It'll be environment-friendly. B. It'll reach consumers soon.‎ C. It'll be made of plastics D. It'll help speed up typing.‎ ‎24. Where is this text most likely from?‎ A. A diary. B. A guidebook C. A novel. D. A magazine.‎ ‎ B We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices (装置) well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment — and our wallets — as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.‎ To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product through ‎-out its life — from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation — Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.‎ As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn't throw out our old ones. "The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house," said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We're not just keeping these old devices — we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt's team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions（排放）more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.‎ So what's the solution? The team's data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.‎ ‎25. What does the author think of new devices?‎ A. They are environment-friendly. B. They are no better than the old.‎ C. They cost more to use at home. D. They go out of style quickly.‎ ‎26. Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research?‎ A. To reduce the cost of minerals. B. To test the life cycle of a product.‎ C. To update consumers on new technology. D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices.‎ ‎27. Which of the following uses the least energy?‎ A. The box-set TV. B. The tablet. C. The LCD TV. D. The desktop computer.‎ ‎28. What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?‎ A. Stop using them. B. Take them apart. C. Upgrade them. D. Recycle them.‎ C Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes (糖尿病),Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin (胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness and even death. And if that weren't bad enough, he had no health insurance.‎ After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back. He left Canton,Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rock star, and created diabeticrockstar.com, a free online community fordiabetics and their loved ones — a place where over 1 100 people share personalstories, information and resources.‎ Jason Swencki'sson, Kody, was diagnosed with diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children's forums(论坛) together most evenings.“Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over，” says Swencki, one of the site's volunteers.“They know what he's going through, so he doesn't feel alone.”‎ Kody is anything but alone; Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.‎ These days,Thomas's main focus is his charity (慈善机构), Fight It, which provides medicine sand supplies to people — 225 to date — who can't afford a diabetic's huge expenses. Fight－it org, has raised about $23 000 — in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rock star Festival in the Caribbean.‎ Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, ‎ while still doing his full time job waiting tables. “Of the diabetes charities out there,most are putting money into finding a cure，” says Bentley Gubar, one of Rock star's original members. “But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now.”‎ ‎29．Which of the following is TRUE of Christopher Thomas?‎ A．He needs to go to the doctor every day. B．He studies the leading cause of diabetes.‎ C．He has a positive attitude to his disease. D．He encourages diabetics by writing articles.‎ ‎30．Diabeticrockstar.comwas created for ______.‎ A．Diabetics to communicate B．Volunteers to find jobs C．Children to amuse themselves D．Rock stars to share resources ‎31．What can we learn about Fight It?‎ A．It helps the diabetics in financial difficulties. B．It organizes parties for volunteers once a year.‎ C．It offers less expensive medicines to diabetics. D．It owns a well－known medical website.‎ D It is reported that in the near future robots and humans will probably work together to create jazz.‎ A singing robot is being taught to create jazz with human beings in a project.‎ Antonio Chella from Italy is working with a Telenoid robot. To start with, the Telenoid robot will be trained to imitate (模仿) the movements and simple sounds made by a human singer, and then connect music with different human emotions.‎ Precious (以前的) robots had the ability to find common connections between things. But Chella suggests that conscious (有意识的) robots should be able to go a step further and find new connections.‎ The Telenoid robot is of this kind. This work raises interesting questions about the connection between consciousness and music creating. ” says Philippe Pasquier. A musician needs a physical body.‎ Pasquier argues that the robot musician is faced with a big challenge. "Its software has already been developed and it can imitate The Beatles, a famous band. However, what made The Beatles famous were not only their songs but their wonderful performance of the songs, "he says.‎ It is not clear how a robot would perform music in a new way. But by imitating humans, the Telenoid robot could provide some useful information. What is important is that human musicians often listen to and compare music made by others for a long time before creating music of their own. So the Telenoid robot had better listen to more jazz music first?‎ ‎32. What will the Telenoid robot be taught to do first?‎ A. Communicate with human beings B. Connect music with human emotions C. Live and work comfortably with human beings D. Imitate the movements and simple sounds of a human singer ‎33. In Pasquier's opinion, the Telenoid robot .‎ A. will replace human musicians soon B. may have trouble performing music C. will become more popular than The Beatles D. can find connections between things that humans cannot find ‎34. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?‎ A. The Telenoid, future robot musician B. How to teach robots to perform music C. The right music the robots should listen to D.. Differences between a human singer and a robot musician ‎35. In which part of a newspaper would we most probably read this passage?‎ A. Arts B. Entertainment. C. Science. D. Education 第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。‎ Are people less or more happy when they get older? A study in 2018 found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age 50. In fact, it found that by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were at 18. ‎ Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25. 36. ‎ Happiness was the highest among the youngest adults and those in their early 70's. But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their 70’s and 80’s. The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. 37. The researchers also considered possible influences like, having young children being unemployed or being single. Bu, they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age. ‎ ‎38. One theory is that, as people get older, they become more than thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences. ‎ ‎39. In another study, people in their 80’s reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep. The original goal was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems. 40. But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older. ‎ A. So why will happiness increase with age? ‎ B. Researchers surveyed more than 150, 000 American adults. ‎ C. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85. ‎ D. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their 50's. ‎ E. Happiness is not the only thing that apparently improves with age. ‎ F. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women. ‎ G. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.‎ 第二部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题;每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎    The small town of Rjukan in Norway is situated between several mountains and does not get direct sunlight from late September to mid-March- 41  six months out of the year.‎ ‎    "Of course, we 42  it when the sun is shining," says Karin Ro, who works for the town's tourism office.

It’s not clear if the medication,called remdesivir, actually helped the patient, or if his improvement was a coincidence. But it’s one of a few drugs, （61）______ （include）a combination of anti-HIV drugs, （62）________ doctors think might help patients with the newcoronavirus.‎ Remdesivir was developed by the pharmaceutical company Gilead as a treatment （63）_____ Ebola. It’s a broad-spectrum antiviral drug, and it blocks the activity of a protein that helps coronaviruses make copies of themselves. Research groups identified the drug as a potential candidate for the treatment of coronaviruses in the aftermath of the 2012 MERS outbreak, （64）______ another new coronavirus spread through the Middle East. In cell models, it blocks the activity of MERS, SARS (a 2002 coronavirus), and other coronaviruses that are found in bats.‎ Tests on the new coronavirus show that remdesivir blocks (65) _____ activity, too, at least in the lab. That result, (66) ______(couple) with the positive outcomes in the Washington patient, were enough for Gilead to launch a larger clinical trial of the drug in new coronavirus patients. The company will test it in a group of 270 patients at China-Japan Friendship Hospital in Beijing — one group will (67) ______ (give) the drug, and one group will be given a placebo. The drug isn’t approved by the Food and Drug Administration or by any other regulatory body. (68) ______, it already went through safety testing during the Ebola outbreak in 2014 and 2015. That’s why Gilead is able to test it in sick patients (69) ___________(immediate).‎ The importance of those previous studies was emphasized by Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, in a press conference last week. Researchers aren’t starting from zero because work over the past two decades tested drugs in cells, animals, and individual patients. Now, researchers who have devoted their professional lives to this work face new urgency around the most important question: if the drugs actually work in people. “There’s no proven therapy for coronavirus infections,” Fauci said.‎ The results from the remdesivir trial aren’t expected until the end of April, and it could turn out that none of the drugs under investigation are effective in treating the new virus. But that there are options (70) ______(avail) — and available so quickly — is a testament to all the research that’s been done before.‎ 第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节短文改错（共10题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ ‎ When I grow up，I’ll work with animals.

I have to try to prevent it, or else I’ll lose all my profits. A lot of shopliftings are done by teenagers in groups. They do it for fun. They’re not frightened so we have to make it difficult for them. Obviously a supermarket can’t have chains or alarms on the goods. So we have store ‎ detectives, who walk around the shop like ordinary shoppers, otherwise they’ll be recognized. We have big signs up, saying, “Shoplifters will be punished”, but that doesn’t help much. We’ve started putting cash desks at all the exits to prevent the shoplifters walking straight out with things. Of course, that worries the ordinary shopper who hasn’t found what he wanted. We also use closed-circuit television, but that’s expensive. In fact, all good methods of prevention are quite expensive, and naturally, they make our prices more expensive. But it has to be done. otherwise shoplifting itself will make all the prices much higher, and the public doesn’t want that!‎ 二． 阅读理解 A篇【答案】 21. D 22. C 23. B 24.
