A wman, wh was given a virtual reality headset （虚拟现实耳机） experience fr her 103 * birthday, chse a walk alng a lcal cliff（悬崖） path—just near her care hme. Jyce Penfld put n the headset and treadmill（踏车）cmbinatin which can transprt peple arund the wrld r universe. She was given the pprtunity with help frm the University f Plymuth’s ‘Generating Older Active Lives Digitally' prgram.
Jyce was previusly given the chance t try the ROVR, chsing t take a virtual trip t the seaside in Gdrevy, Hayle. There she saw a lighthuse in the sea. She liked the technlgy s much the GOALD team gave her anther g at her 103vl birthday party at Tresillian Huse. That time she chse Maker Heights, just 63 miles frm her Falmuth retirement hme.
"Usually the nly time I g ut is when my daughter takes me ut, and the furthest we g is just a few miles, fr a cffee perhaps and a gd ld chat," said Jyce.
The team at the University f Plymuth is attempting t study hw technlgy impacts n the health and well-being f lder peple. The headset wrks with an mni-directinal （全方向的）treadmill, which allws the user t mve in any directin—this gives users the chance t mve arund freely in a virtual envirnment as if they were actually there.
"I wasn't ttally surprised because she des accept everything that's new. I think she was ver 70 when she tk her first aerplane flight, s nthing puts her ff," said Jyce’s daughter, Maria Blagden.
"We're really interested in the use f technlgy t supprt physical activity fr lder adults, and fr us this technlgy has a lt f ptential in that regard. As peple walk n the treadmill, they get t explre the virtual wrlds, and having a range f places t be explred creates a mtivatin （动力） t be active," said Dr. Hannah Bradwel1, Digital Health Research Fellw fr UP's GOALD prject.
24. What was Jyce's 103rd birthday gift?
A. A virtual reality headset.B. A virtual trip t Maker Heights.
C. A jurney t Gdrevy, Hayle.D. A tur t her care hme n a treadmill.
25. What des the team at the University f Plymuth want t learn abut?

C. The ways f mving a treadmill in any directin.D. The effect f technlgy n the fitness f the aged.
26. What is Bradwell's attitude twards the use f technlgy?
A. Favrable. B. Unclear. C. Indifferent. D. Dubtful.
27. What d we knw abut Jyce Penfld?

Humans aren't very gd listeners. Nt cmpared t sme spiders （蜘蛛）, anyway.
Orb-weaver spiders dn't have ears, but in 2022, researchers fund the arachnids （蜘形钢动物）use their webs as external eardrums（鼓膜）. The spider silk acts as a super-sensitive listening tl, capable f detecting nises frm up t ten feet away, and this knwledge f spiders presents a big pprtunity fr humans t transfrm ur wn sund engineering, accrding t the research led by Rn Miles, a mechanical engineer at Binghamtn University.
The human experience f hearing is determined by air pressure in ur ears. In respnse t pressure changes, ur eardrums vibrate （震动） at different frequencies that send electrical signals t ur brains, which distinguish the sunds. Micrphnes were built t imitate human eardrums, similarly vibrating in respnse t pressure changes. But t make the micrphne mre pwerful and sensitive, they need t be larger-a reality that desn't agree with the general desire fr smaller and mre transprtable technlgy. "In this case, yu shuld think abut hw small animals d it," says Miles.
Spiderwebs are less affected by changes in air pressure. Instead, they vibrate in the airflw created by a sund wave, allwing the arachnids t "hear" by feeling that mvement—and even lcate the directin f the nise.
Miles fund that spider silk registered sunds between 1 hertz（赫兹）and 50 kilhertz—a much wider range than the 20 hertz t 20 kilhertz that humans can hear. By applying this srt f sund system t a micrphne, man can make it quite a bit smaller withut paying a price.
The research presents a new pint fr a variety f advances in sund technlgy. Miles and thers are wrking t develp new instruments, which might help teat hearing prblems in babies. And spider silk-inspired sund systems may enable researchers t pick up n ther sunds utside the human ear's range—such as lw-frequency nises that predict the frmatin f trnades （龙卷风）, which scientists can use t track the strms.
28. What d we knw abut the spider silk?
A. It functins as a listening device.B. It acts as the spider's eardrums.
C. It makes changes t air pressure.D. It interprets signals frm the web.
29. What des the underlined wrd "registered" prbably mean in paragraph 5?
A. Created. B. Recrded. C. Applied. D. Prnunced.
30. What des the last paragraph mainly talk abut?
A. The actin against natural disasters.B. The inspiratin fr the new instruments.
C. The wrking rule f the sund technlgy.D. The ptential applicatin f the technlgy.
31. What is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Never t late fr us humans t learn frm natureB. Time fr humankind t live in peace with the spiders
C. Hw spider silk gives inspiratin t future micrphnes
D. Hw the arachnids "hear" frm lng distances away withut ears
D
A large-scale analysis （分析）f nearly 1,000 scientific studies has shwn just hw clsely human activity is tied t public health. The findings suggest envirnmental changes caused by human activities are making the risk f infectius （传染的） disease utbreaks all the mre likely. The bidiversity （生物多样性） crisis—which has let sme ne millin plant and animal species at risk f extinctin—is a leading driver f disease spread, the researchers fund.
"It culd mean that by changing the envirnment, we increase the risks f future pandemics （流行病）,"said Jasn Rhr, a c-authr f the study and a bilgist at the University f Ntre Dame.
The analysis studied at least ne f five "glbal change drivers" affecting wildlife and landscapes n Earth: bidiversity change, climate change, habitat lss and change, chemical pllutin and the intrductin f nn-native species t new areas. The researchers cllected nearly 3,000 data pints related t hw each f these factrs might impact the seriusness f infectius disease utbreaks.
Their cnclusins shwed that fur f the examined factrs—climate change, chemical pllutin, the intrductin f nn-native species t new areas and bidiversity lss—all increased the likelihd f spreading diseases, with the latter having the mst significant impact. Disease and death rate were nearly nine times higher in areas f the wrld where human activity has reduced bidiversity, cmpared t the levels expected by Earth's natural variatin in bidiversity.
One glbal change factr, hwever, actually reduced the likelihd f disease utbreaks: habitat lss and change. But here, cntext is key. Mst habitat lss is linked t creating a single type f envirnment—urban （城市的） ecsystems—which generally have gd sanitatin（卫生）systems, reducing pprtunities fr disease utbreaks.
The new wrk adds t past research n hw human activity can cause the spread f disease. The research signals the need fr public health fficials t remain watchful as the effects f human-caused climate change arise.
32. What d the findings reveal accrding t the first tw paragraphs?
A. Human activities d great damage t public health.B. Bidiversity crises increase the risk f disease utbreaks.
C. Millins f plant and animal species are at risk f extinctin.
D. Human-caused envirnmental changes lead t species extinctin.
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. The prcess f the study. B. The result f the study.
C. The meaning f data analysis. D. The impact f disease utbreaks.
34. Cmpared with the ther fur "glbal change drivers", habitat lss and change _____.
A. wrsened the disease utbreaks B. had the mst significant impact
C. made urban ecsystems mre delicate D. made it less likely t spread diseases
35. What might be the fcus f the fllw-up discussin?
A. The expectatins held by public health fficials.B. The measures t be taken by the health systems.
C. The effects f human activities n climate change.D. The cncerns abut climate change and bidiversity lss.
