M: So what about the rent?
W: The owner is asking $700 a month for it.
M: That’s a little expensive. So what about the other one?
W: Well, compared to the first one, the second one has less furniture. It’s near a school, so it’s likely to be a little bit noisy. But the good news is that it’s in the Baker Street and just a short walk from the Green Park.
M: What’s the rent?
W: It’s only $500 a month. The point is that rents in that area are usually up to $600 a month.
M: It’s really a bargain. But I think I’ll look at the first one.

M: No problem!
W: Thank you.

20. What is the goal of companies?
A. To save most of the forests in the world.
B. To make paper bottles cheaper than before.
C. To replace glass and plastic bottles with paper ones.
【答案】17. B 18. B 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【原文】Several large companies have begun creating paper bottles to replace glass and plastic ones. Paper bottles have many advantages. Perhaps the most important is that they are easy to recycle. Paper bottles also weigh less than glass and plastic, meaning they’ll require less energy to produce and to move around. Since paper is soft and easy to shape, companies can design their bottles to take almost any shape they choose.
Clearly, one of the biggest challenges is keeping a paper bottle from leaking. The inside of the bottle needs a special coating to make sure the liquid doesn’t leak through. Many companies are lining their bottles with a thin sheet of plastic.
Though bottle makers may say this liner can be removed and recycled, many recycling programs don’t have the right machines to handle these liners. But even without the plastic, paper bottles aren’t perfect. Most paper bottles use wood, meaning trees need to be cut down to make the bottles.
There’s still a lot of testing to be done before paper bottles can replace glass and plastic. But with so many companies working toward the same goal, it’s likely that we can expect to see paper bottles on store shelves in the near future, for they are more environmentally friendly.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
In this list, you can find some of the best parks in London.
Chiswick Gardens
Chiswick Gardens arguably inspired England’s most influential cultural export, second perhaps to the Beatles. In the 1720s, architect and designer William Kent experimented at Chiswick, inventing what became known as the English landscape garden. He made the garden less formal, introducing a far more natural feel – sweeping grassland and lakes, classical temples and monuments. The style soon became the model for public parks across the globe. And it all started here.
Website: chiswickhouseandgardens. org. uk
Opening times: open daily, 7 a.m. — dusk
Osterley Park
The essential dignity of this old country estate does not seem to be affected by the modern world. The stillness of its lake is occasionally broken by a line of passing swans. A cycle-friendly trail circles the park, perfect for children (bike hire available) – and if you don’t mind paying, the beautiful gardens are a must.
Website: nationaltrust. org. uk
Opening times: open daily, 7 a.m.—7: 30 p.m.
Richmond Park
Deer have been wandering around this rare grassland habitat since at least 1637, when Charles I enclosed it. It’s London’s largest nature reserve. Away from the roads and cycle tracks, few places in London feel so open and wild. The landscape isn’t all left to the deer: the Isabella Plantation is a sizeable woodland garden full of flowers that look their best in mid-spring.
Website: royalparks.org. uk
Opening times: open 24 hours, except Nov and Feb
Victoria Park
Regular winner of the nation’s most popular park awards, this park continues to attract new generations to its enormous band of devoted fans. The park is simply amazing for young people. A playground features the best slides in town and a host of other original swinging and climbing equipment. Meanwhile, older kids get top-grade music festivals, a mouth-watering Sunday market and an excellent cafe in each of its two parts. And that’s without mentioning the lakes, gardens and everything else!

When Chip heard the mail truck arriving on his sixth birthday, he rushed out—not knowing that he’d come back with a treasure.
Outside the house, which was decorated with birthday balloons, postwoman Shelley held a pile of boxes. One was marked with Chip’s name and a greeting for his Special day, November 5.
“So,” when he came running out the door, she said, “You must be Chip!” And he said,“Yes.” She said, “Today’s your birthday?” And he started smiling. Shelley said, “So, let me see if I can find you something for your birthday.”She checked her pocket and surprised him with a gift: a dollar bill and four quarters.
On this day, the 42-year-old postwoman made one little boy very happy. “He was very excited,” said his mom, Bonnie. “He came running back in the house just waving his money.” Chip is saving up to buy a Spider-man action figure.
“Our family has had money problems since I lost my job. Gestures like that are valuable memories.” Her hope is that Chip and his eight-year-old sister, Bennett, will remember this when they grow up. “Not the ugly that is out there right now, but the good and the kind and the giving.”
A photo of a smiling Chip and Shelley next to the mail truck has been shared widely on social media. Shelley said she was just trying to give back, because people are often nice to her eight-year-old son, Joshua.
On a recent day, Chip heard the mail truck and rushed out again, this time to deliver an envelope with a thank-you card for his favorite mail carrier. Since that day, the families have kept in contact. Shelley has struggled to find someone who can take care of her son, and Bonnie has agreed to watch him at her home while his mom is on her mail route.
24. Why did Chip rush out when he heard the mail truck the first time?
A. To thank the postwoman. B. To get a gift box mailed to him.
C. To receive birthday wishes from the driver. D. To watch the mail truck.
25. What did Shelley do to make Chip happy?
A. She gave him some pocket money.
B. She sent him some birthday balloons.
C. She presented him with a greeting card.
D. She bought him a Spider-man action figure.
26. What is Chip’s mother’s attitude towards Shelley?
A. Grateful. B. Curious. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.
27. What does Chip’s mother do to help Shelley?
A. She offers to deliver the mails for her.
B. She often helps drive her mail truck.
C. She looks after her son when she is at work.
D. She posts pictures of her mail truck on social media.

Is renting clothes greener than buying them? Sustainable (可持续的) fashion expert Elizabeth Cline isn’t sure. Clothing renting is a hot new industry and businessmen are trying to attract shoppers who care about the environment. Last summer alone, Urban Outfitters, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s American Eagle and Banana Republic all announced renting services – a sure sign of changing times.
But is renting fashion actually more environmentally-friendly than buying it? And if so, how much more? Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline researched this question in a feature article for Elle, and she concluded that it’s not as sustainable as it seems.
Take shipping for example, which has to go two ways if an item is rented – receiving and returning. Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing.
Then there’s the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when it’s returned, regardless of whether or not it was worn. For most renting services, this usually means dry-cleaning, which is a polluting process. All the renting services that Cline looked into have replaced perchloroethylene, a carcinogenic (致癌的) air pollutants that’s still used by 70 percent of US dry cleaners, with hydrocarbon (碳氢化合物) alternatives, although these aren’t great either. They can produce harmful waste and air pollution if not handled correctly.
Lastly, Cline fears that renting services will increase our appetite for fast fashion, simply because it’s so easily accessible. There’s something called “share-washing” that makes people have more wasteful behaviors because a product or service is shared and thus is considered more eco-friendly. Uber is one example of this: advertised as a way to share rides and reduce car ownership, and yet it has been proven to discourage walking, bicycling and public transportation use.
Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them into the bin after wearing them a few times, but we shouldn’t let the availability of these services make us self-satisfied. There’s an even better step – and that’s wearing what we already have.
28. What do we know about Elizabeth Cline from the passage?
A. She is trying to attract shoppers. B. She is an expert and journalist.
C. She has created “share-washing”. D. She never rents clothes.
29. Why does renting services increase people’s appetite for fast fashion?
A. Because it is handled correctly. B. Because it is transported easily.
C. Because it is fairly eco-friendly. D. Because it is easily accessible.
30. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Clothing renting became popular ten years ago.
B. Consumer transportation has the largest carbon footprint.
C. Renting clothes deserves further consideration.
D. Uber is a good example of sharing rides.
31. Which section of a newspaper does the text probably come from?
A. Environment. B. Technology. C. Travel. D. Medicine.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. A
【解析】

【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“Sustainable (可持续的) fashion expert Elizabeth Cline isn’t sure. （可持续时尚专家Elizabeth Cline并不确定）”和第二段的“Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline researched this question in a feature article for Elle, and she concluded that it’s not as sustainable as it seems.（记者兼作家Elizabeth Cline在为Elle撰写的一篇专题文章中研究了这个问题，她得出的结论是，这并不像看上去那么可持续）”可知，Elizabeth Cline是专家、记者兼作家。故选B。

Music is said to be a universal language. But for Chase Burton, a deaf filmmaker from Texas, music has always been a totally different experience.
“When I was a kid, I’d lie on the floor so I could feel the vibrations (震动，颤动) from my brother’s band rocking out below my body, ” the 33-year-old man said. “That was one of the first times I began building a relationship with music.”
In 2016, his ability to experience music changed dramatically, thanks to California-based technology company Not Impossible Labs. It designed a vibrating suit that enables deaf people to “feel” music through their skin. Consisting of a body harness (背带), ankle and wrist belts, the suit translates audio into a range of vibrating pulses that are felt at 24 contact points. Burton has been trialing the suit for four years.
“The sound hits different parts of your body, ” said Burton. “Maybe it will strike me down in my ankles first. And then I’ll start to feel the vibrations in my back. And then I’ll feel some pulsations in my wrist.”
The creators want to extends the tactile (触觉) musical experience beyond the deaf community. In 2018, they gave out 150 of the suits at a rock concert in Las Vegas where half the audience members were deaf and half were able to hear.
Since then, Not Impossible Labs has been working to improve the technology and says it’s ready to go to market soon. Eventually, the creators want the suit to become a consumer product, accessible to all. The company’s talent and business development director, Jordan Richardson, said that the technology could be used in live sports broadcasts, video games and theme parks.
As a writer and director who’s been working to make the movie world more accessible, Burton hopes that the vibrating suit will be available to his film audiences in the future. He believes the suit can enhance emotions while watching a movie – for hearing as well as deaf people. “I see the tech as a real opportunity to help people understand that music for movies doesn’t always need to be enjoyed through the ears”.
32. Why would Chase Burton lie on the floor when he was a kid?
A. To feel some pulsations in his wrist.
B. To feel the vibrations from his brother’s band.
C. To expand the tactile musical experience.
D. To begin building a bond with films.
33. What do we know about Not Impossible Labs from the passage?
A. It was started by Chase Burton in 2016.
B. Its products have been used in live sports broadcasts.
C. It is a technology company based in California.
D. Its administrative director is Jordan Richardson.
34. Which can replace the underlined word “enhance” in the last paragraph?
A. create B. express C. cover D. strengthen
35. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Vibrating Suit Allows Deaf People to “Feel” Music
B. Tech Company Provides Free Suits for Deaf People
C. Deaf People Enjoy Rock Music with Free Suit
D. Movies Need to Be Enjoyed Through the Ears
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一个名为“Not Impossible Labs”的科技公司设计了一种震动服，使聋人能够通过皮肤“感觉”音乐。文章介绍了这种震动服的工作方式，技术研发过程以及未来的应用前景。

【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据后文““I see the tech as a real opportunity to help people understand that music for movies doesn’t always need to be enjoyed through the ears”.（“我认为这项技术是一个真正的机会，可以帮助人们理解，电影音乐并不总是需要通过耳朵来欣赏。”。）”中的help people understand可知，这项技术可以增强（strengthen）情感。故选D项。

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。
Sand art is considered as one of the greatest forms of creative expression today. It is an activity that has caught the imagination of children and adults alike. ____36____ From cars to castles with fantasy lands, the themes are endless. Here are some tips on how to build the perfect sand sculpture or castle.
Before you begin the sculpture (雕刻), you must first ensure you have the right tools.____37____ Remember you will need to include a spray bottle, as the sculpture needs to be kept a little wet to keep the surface firm while you construct it. Once you have gathered all the tools, it’s time to hunt for the right location on the beach. You need to look for a place that is moderately away from the sea. After you have found the ideal location, start digging. You need to keep digging till you reach wet sand. This will be your first tough task. ____38____.
Now you need to prepare enough wet sand to start with the building and carving. This is known as the process of tamping (夯实). A frame is basically used for tamping. This is what you need to build tall structures. ____39____ Place the frame on the ground. Once the frame is filled, try to lift it slowly. When you have finished the base form, you can create other forms on top of that base.
Once you have finished the basic structure, it is time to release your creativity. Always start carving from the top. Carving must always be done in the outward direction. Do remember to concentrate on the entire structure rather than attempting to complete one side at a time.
____40____ Today sand art and sculpting have a professional touch, with new sculptors creating some of the most imaginative forms of sand sculptures.
A. The limit to your creativity is endless.
B. Use the frame to begin your construction.
C. Castles are more popular than cars among children.
D. People have created masterpieces through sand sculpting.
E. Ensure you have packed a long-handled shovel and a bucket.
F. Sand art and sculpting have become very popular in recent times.
G. It is this wet sand that will give a firm foundation to your sculpture.

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍经典作品是伟大作品和智慧的典范，而且它们仍然与当代生活有着某种联系。
【56题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：目前，人们常常错误地认为经典作品枯燥乏味、难以阅读，因为大多数经典作品都是很久以前写就的，而且它们的语言特点与现代作品不尽相同。分析句子可知，空处应使用谓语动词。根据long ago可知，应使用一般过去时。且write与most of them（复数）之间是被动关系。故填were written。
【57题详解】
考查介词。句意：目前，人们常常错误地认为经典作品枯燥乏味、难以阅读，因为大多数经典作品都是很久以前写就的，而且它们的语言特点与现代作品不尽相同。the same as为固定搭配，意为“与……相同”。故填as。

【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：以他的《远大前程》为例，讲述19世纪早期英国的一个故事。分析句子可知，空处应使用非谓语动词。且tell与Great Expectations之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，应使用现在分词表示主动。故填telling。
【61题详解】
考查名词。句意：这部小说中有许多象征。根据空前的many可知，空处应填可数名词复数。故填symbols。
62题详解】
考查名词。句意：例如，薄雾是危险的象征，而Estella是教育和金钱的象征。根据空后的and money可知，空处应填名词，形成并列结构，表抽象意义，不可数，故填education。
【63题详解】
考查时态。句意：故事的情节发生了转折——一个非常慷慨的陌生人给了Pip一大笔财富，这使他改变了很多。文章的基础时态为一般现在时。且change与which（指代整个句子，是单数概念）之间是主动关系。故填changes。
【64题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意：它的主题是“做一个绅士到底意味着什么?”此处应使用不定冠词加可数名词单数，表示泛指。gentleman以辅音音素开头。故填a。

One rainy day, Lily, a sad little girl, was looking out of the window. Her mother was doing her usual housework. She had been busy preparing dinner and washing clothes. Her daughter, not old enough to go to school, had wanted to play outside, but it was raining. The mother told her little girl to get some paper and a pencil to draw pictures. She hadn’t noticed her daughter was very sad.
Lily was the only child in the family and had no brothers or sisters to play with. She sat on the sofa with her pencil and paper, looked out of the window and began to draw a picture. She drew the window with rain streaming down the glass. Then she drew a little girl in front of the window with ribbons in her hair. The mother passed by as she was going to put the clothes into the dryer. She told her daughter that her drawing was pretty. Lily said thank you, but she still wanted to go out to play. Her mother said, “We have discussed that already. You can’t. It’s raining.”
Lily continued to draw the picture, while her mother went back to the kitchen to check on dinner. The mother could see her daughter’s drawing across the glass door that divided the two rooms. In the drawing, a little girl had big tears rolling down her cheeks. The mother thought about the events of the day in her mind.
Several times that day, Lily had asked her mother for permission to go out and play. The rain had prevented her from going out. She had asked her mother to play and watch cartoons with her. Each time, her mother was too busy with things she had to do. The mother felt guilty, and realized the little girl in the drawing was her daughter’s self-portrait. So she walked into the living room.

The mother, feeling very bad at this point, told Lily to come to the kitchen. ―I have a surprise for you,the mother said. Lily ran to the kitchen.
Paragraph 2:
“Where’s my surprise, Mommy?” Lily asked curiously. ―We are going to make cookies! the mother said. ―Yummy! Lily shouted happily. After making the cookies, they sat at the table and ate the cookies fresh from the oven. Then the mother cleaned up the cookies dishes. Lily went back to the living room and continued drawing her picture. Soon, she returned to the kitchen and asked, ―Can we hang up my drawing, Mommy? The mother said OK and hung it up. As she looked at it, the little girl in it was smiling. She had a cookie in her hand.

【原文】W: Good morning! Can I help you?
M: I’m going to rent a one-bedroom apartment near the bus station.
W: I’m afraid there are only two available for you. The first apartment is well-furnished and modern. It’s very neat and clean. It has a bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom and a large living room. It’s in the Bridge Street and it is very quiet there.
M: So what about the rent?
W: The owner is asking $700 a month for it.
M: That’s a little expensive. So what about the other one?
W: Well, compared to the first one, the second one has less furniture. It’s near a school, so it’s likely to be a little bit noisy. But the good news is that it’s in the Baker Street and just a short walk from the Green Park.
M: What’s the rent?
W: It’s only $500 a month. The point is that rents in that area are usually up to $600 a month.
M: It’s really a bargain. But I think I’ll look at the first one.

B. To make paper bottles cheaper than before.
C. To replace glass and plastic bottles with paper ones.
【答案】17. B 18. B 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【原文】Several large companies have begun creating paper bottles to replace glass and plastic ones. Paper bottles have many advantages. Perhaps the most important is that they are easy to recycle. Paper bottles also weigh less than glass and plastic, meaning they’ll require less energy to produce and to move around. Since paper is soft and easy to shape, companies can design their bottles to take almost any shape they choose.
Clearly, one of the biggest challenges is keeping a paper bottle from leaking. The inside of the bottle needs a special coating to make sure the liquid doesn’t leak through. Many companies are lining their bottles with a thin sheet of plastic.
Though bottle makers may say this liner can be removed and recycled, many recycling programs don’t have the right machines to handle these liners. But even without the plastic, paper bottles aren’t perfect. Most paper bottles use wood, meaning trees need to be cut down to make the bottles.
There’s still a lot of testing to be done before paper bottles can replace glass and plastic. But with so many companies working toward the same goal, it’s likely that we can expect to see paper bottles on store shelves in the near future, for they are more environmentally friendly.

In this list, you can find some of the best parks in London.
Chiswick Gardens
Chiswick Gardens arguably inspired England’s most influential cultural export, second perhaps to the Beatles. In the 1720s, architect and designer William Kent experimented at Chiswick, inventing what became known as the English landscape garden. He made the garden less formal, introducing a far more natural feel – sweeping grassland and lakes, classical temples and monuments. The style soon became the model for public parks across the globe. And it all started here.
Website: chiswickhouseandgardens. org. uk
Opening times: open daily, 7 a.m. — dusk
Osterley Park
The essential dignity of this old country estate does not seem to be affected by the modern world. The stillness of its lake is occasionally broken by a line of passing swans. A cycle-friendly trail circles the park, perfect for children (bike hire available) – and if you don’t mind paying, the beautiful gardens are a must.
Website: nationaltrust. org. uk
Opening times: open daily, 7 a.m.—7: 30 p.m.
Richmond Park
Deer have been wandering around this rare grassland habitat since at least 1637, when Charles I enclosed it. It’s London’s largest nature reserve. Away from the roads and cycle tracks, few places in London feel so open and wild. The landscape isn’t all left to the deer: the Isabella Plantation is a sizeable woodland garden full of flowers that look their best in mid-spring.
Website: royalparks.org. uk
Opening times: open 24 hours, except Nov and Feb
Victoria Park
Regular winner of the nation’s most popular park awards, this park continues to attract new generations to its enormous band of devoted fans. The park is simply amazing for young people. A playground features the best slides in town and a host of other original swinging and climbing equipment. Meanwhile, older kids get top-grade music festivals, a mouth-watering Sunday market and an excellent cafe in each of its two parts. And that’s without mentioning the lakes, gardens and everything else!

When Chip heard the mail truck arriving on his sixth birthday, he rushed out—not knowing that he’d come back with a treasure.
Outside the house, which was decorated with birthday balloons, postwoman Shelley held a pile of boxes. One was marked with Chip’s name and a greeting for his Special day, November 5.
“So,” when he came running out the door, she said, “You must be Chip!” And he said,“Yes.” She said, “Today’s your birthday?” And he started smiling. Shelley said, “So, let me see if I can find you something for your birthday.”She checked her pocket and surprised him with a gift: a dollar bill and four quarters.
On this day, the 42-year-old postwoman made one little boy very happy. “He was very excited,” said his mom, Bonnie. “He came running back in the house just waving his money.” Chip is saving up to buy a Spider-man action figure.
“Our family has had money problems since I lost my job. Gestures like that are valuable memories.” Her hope is that Chip and his eight-year-old sister, Bennett, will remember this when they grow up. “Not the ugly that is out there right now, but the good and the kind and the giving.”
A photo of a smiling Chip and Shelley next to the mail truck has been shared widely on social media. Shelley said she was just trying to give back, because people are often nice to her eight-year-old son, Joshua.
On a recent day, Chip heard the mail truck and rushed out again, this time to deliver an envelope with a thank-you card for his favorite mail carrier. Since that day, the families have kept in contact. Shelley has struggled to find someone who can take care of her son, and Bonnie has agreed to watch him at her home while his mom is on her mail route.

Is renting clothes greener than buying them? Sustainable (可持续的) fashion expert Elizabeth Cline isn’t sure. Clothing renting is a hot new industry and businessmen are trying to attract shoppers who care about the environment. Last summer alone, Urban Outfitters, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s American Eagle and Banana Republic all announced renting services – a sure sign of changing times.
But is renting fashion actually more environmentally-friendly than buying it? And if so, how much more? Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline researched this question in a feature article for Elle, and she concluded that it’s not as sustainable as it seems.
Take shipping for example, which has to go two ways if an item is rented – receiving and returning. Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing.
Then there’s the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when it’s returned, regardless of whether or not it was worn. For most renting services, this usually means dry-cleaning, which is a polluting process. All the renting services that Cline looked into have replaced perchloroethylene, a carcinogenic (致癌的) air pollutants that’s still used by 70 percent of US dry cleaners, with hydrocarbon (碳氢化合物) alternatives, although these aren’t great either. They can produce harmful waste and air pollution if not handled correctly.
Lastly, Cline fears that renting services will increase our appetite for fast fashion, simply because it’s so easily accessible. There’s something called “share-washing” that makes people have more wasteful behaviors because a product or service is shared and thus is considered more eco-friendly. Uber is one example of this: advertised as a way to share rides and reduce car ownership, and yet it has been proven to discourage walking, bicycling and public transportation use.
Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them into the bin after wearing them a few times, but we shouldn’t let the availability of these services make us self-satisfied. There’s an even better step – and that’s wearing what we already have.
28. What do we know about Elizabeth Cline from the passage?
A. She is trying to attract shoppers. B. She is an expert and journalist.
C. She has created “share-washing”. D. She never rents clothes.
29. Why does renting services increase people’s appetite for fast fashion?
A. Because it is handled correctly. B. Because it is transported easily.
C. Because it is fairly eco-friendly. D. Because it is easily accessible.
30. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Clothing renting became popular ten years ago.
B. Consumer transportation has the largest carbon footprint.
C. Renting clothes deserves further consideration.
D. Uber is a good example of sharing rides.
31. Which section of a newspaper does the text probably come from?

Music is said to be a universal language. But for Chase Burton, a deaf filmmaker from Texas, music has always been a totally different experience.
“When I was a kid, I’d lie on the floor so I could feel the vibrations (震动，颤动) from my brother’s band rocking out below my body, ” the 33-year-old man said. “That was one of the first times I began building a relationship with music.”
In 2016, his ability to experience music changed dramatically, thanks to California-based technology company Not Impossible Labs. It designed a vibrating suit that enables deaf people to “feel” music through their skin. Consisting of a body harness (背带), ankle and wrist belts, the suit translates audio into a range of vibrating pulses that are felt at 24 contact points. Burton has been trialing the suit for four years.
“The sound hits different parts of your body, ” said Burton. “Maybe it will strike me down in my ankles first. And then I’ll start to feel the vibrations in my back. And then I’ll feel some pulsations in my wrist.”
The creators want to extends the tactile (触觉) musical experience beyond the deaf community. In 2018, they gave out 150 of the suits at a rock concert in Las Vegas where half the audience members were deaf and half were able to hear.
Since then, Not Impossible Labs has been working to improve the technology and says it’s ready to go to market soon. Eventually, the creators want the suit to become a consumer product, accessible to all. The company’s talent and business development director, Jordan Richardson, said that the technology could be used in live sports broadcasts, video games and theme parks.
As a writer and director who’s been working to make the movie world more accessible, Burton hopes that the vibrating suit will be available to his film audiences in the future. He believes the suit can enhance emotions while watching a movie – for hearing as well as deaf people. “I see the tech as a real opportunity to help people understand that music for movies doesn’t always need to be enjoyed through the ears”.
32. Why would Chase Burton lie on the floor when he was a kid?
A. To feel some pulsations in his wrist.
B. To feel the vibrations from his brother’s band.
C. To expand the tactile musical experience.
D. To begin building a bond with films.
33. What do we know about Not Impossible Labs from the passage?
A. It was started by Chase Burton in 2016.
B. Its products have been used in live sports broadcasts.
C. It is a technology company based in California.
D. Its administrative director is Jordan Richardson.
34. Which can replace the underlined word “enhance” in the last paragraph?
A. create B. express C. cover D. strengthen
35. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Vibrating Suit Allows Deaf People to “Feel” Music
B. Tech Company Provides Free Suits for Deaf People
C. Deaf People Enjoy Rock Music with Free Suit
D. Movies Need to Be Enjoyed Through the Ears
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. A

One rainy day, Lily, a sad little girl, was looking out of the window. Her mother was doing her usual housework. She had been busy preparing dinner and washing clothes. Her daughter, not old enough to go to school, had wanted to play outside, but it was raining. The mother told her little girl to get some paper and a pencil to draw pictures. She hadn’t noticed her daughter was very sad.
Lily was the only child in the family and had no brothers or sisters to play with. She sat on the sofa with her pencil and paper, looked out of the window and began to draw a picture. She drew the window with rain streaming down the glass. Then she drew a little girl in front of the window with ribbons in her hair. The mother passed by as she was going to put the clothes into the dryer. She told her daughter that her drawing was pretty. Lily said thank you, but she still wanted to go out to play. Her mother said, “We have discussed that already. You can’t. It’s raining.”
Lily continued to draw the picture, while her mother went back to the kitchen to check on dinner. The mother could see her daughter’s drawing across the glass door that divided the two rooms. In the drawing, a little girl had big tears rolling down her cheeks. The mother thought about the events of the day in her mind.
Several times that day, Lily had asked her mother for permission to go out and play. The rain had prevented her from going out. She had asked her mother to play and watch cartoons with her. Each time, her mother was too busy with things she had to do. The mother felt guilty, and realized the little girl in the drawing was her daughter’s self-portrait. So she walked into the living room.

The mother, feeling very bad at this point, told Lily to come to the kitchen. ―I have a surprise for you,the mother said. Lily ran to the kitchen.
Paragraph 2:
“Where’s my surprise, Mommy?” Lily asked curiously. ―We are going to make cookies! the mother said. ―Yummy! Lily shouted happily. After making the cookies, they sat at the table and ate the cookies fresh from the oven. Then the mother cleaned up the cookies dishes. Lily went back to the living room and continued drawing her picture. Soon, she returned to the kitchen and asked, ―Can we hang up my drawing, Mommy? The mother said OK and hung it up. As she looked at it, the little girl in it was smiling. She had a cookie in her hand.
