Scientists are making this a reality.Researchers at the University of New South Wales, Australia, have invented a soft skin stretch device (SSD), a haptic device that can recreate the sense of touch. Haptic technology can mimic the experience of touch by stimulating localised areas of the skin in ways that are similar to what is felt in the real world, through force, vibration or motion.Vibration is the most common haptic technology today and has been built into many electronic devices, such as one attached to the back of a trackpad in laptops. However, haptic feedback with vibration becomes less sensitive when used continuously. The existing technology also has great difficulty recreating the sense of touch with objects in virtual environments or located remotely.The new technology overcomes issues with existing haptic devices. The research team introduced a novel method to recreate the sense of touch through soft, artificial “muscles”.It works like this: Imagine you call a friend in Australia. You wear a haptic glove with the SSDs and your friend also wears a glove with 3D force sensors. If your friend picks up an object, it will physically press against your friend’s fingers. And the glove with 3D force sensors will measure these interactions. The force signals can be sent to your glove so your device will generate the same 3D forces, making you experience the same sense of touch as your friend.The haptic devices could be used in various fields, allowing users to feel objects inside a virtual world or at a distance. This could be especially beneficial when people rely on video calls to stay connected with loved ones. Or it could be used in medical practices. Doctors can feel a patient’s organ tissues without touching them.4.What does the underlined word “mimic” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Recall.　　　　　　　B.Strengthen.C.Copy. D.Repeat.5.What does the author focus on in the third paragraph?A.Limitations of the haptic technology.B.Application of haptic devices.C.Common use of continuous vibration.D.Haptic feedback with vibration.6.In which of the following situations can the SSDs be used according to the author?A.Tasting a dish on the video.B.Feeling a dress being sold online.C.Giving a telephone interview.D.Receiving on-site medical treatment.7.Which word can best describe the SSDs according to the text?A.Unrealistic. B.Conventional.C.Innovative. D.Adjustable.C(2021·山东泰安二模)There are around 100 tribes that live in global isolation, mostly in South America and India.The Sentinelese have lived on one of the Andaman Islands in Eastern India for 60,000 years. They protect their island by fighting against people from the outside. Their language is different from any other known language.Another Andaman tribe is the Jarawa. In the past, they were independent and fought against anybody trying to make contact with them. But in 1998, the Indian government built a road across their land, and since then, they’ve had more contact with the outside world.Some Amazon tribes avoid contact because of unhappy memories. The Mashco-Piro left their vegetable gardens after rubber companies killed most people of their tribe at the beginning of the 20th century. Those who survived became nomadic(游牧的) and started hunting animals in the forest.The Awa live in the Amazon forests of Brazil. Out of 350 members, 100 have no contact with the outside world. They left their villages and adopted a nomadic lifestyle around 1850 to escape attacks by Europeans. In the following years, farmers in nearby communities started cutting the trees to expand their farmland. The Awa lost most of their hunting land.The few Amazon tribes that still exist are fighting to keep their traditional way of life.Survival, an organisation that fights for the rights of tribal people, says that uncontacted tribes are the most vulnerable(弱势的) humans on the planet and that’s why their environment should be unavailable to the rest of us.After years of pressure, the organisation got Brazil’s government to clear invaders from the Awa land. All non-Awa people are leaving so the tribe can get their forest back. But some think it’s impossible for tribes to stay isolated forever in a connected world. Contact will be made one day. So the question is: Whose choice should it be, ours or theirs? 8.What could be learnt about the Sentinelese from the text?A.They speak the same language as the Jarawa.B.They resist contact from the outside world.C.There are about 350 members in their tribe.D.They received help from the Indian government.9.Why did the Awa adopt a nomadic lifestyle?A.To avoid being attacked by Europeans.B.To avoid being robbed by rubber companies.C.To protect their hunting land.D.To maintain their traditional way of life.10.What is Survival’s view of the tribal people?A.They should fight for their rights by themselves.B.We should show them respect and not disturb them.C.It’s impossible to stay isolated from the outside world.D.We should help them get used to the connected world.11.How does the author describe the isolated tribes?A.Doubtfully. B.Critically.C.Indifferently. D.Objectively.D(2021·广东佛山高中教学质量检测)More than half the world’s population live in cities, and by 2050 the UN expects that proportion to reach 68%. This means more homes, roads and other infrastructures. In India alone, a city the size of Chicago will have to be developed every year to meet demand for housing. Such a construction increase is a bad sign for dealing with climate change, because making steel and concrete, two of the most common building materials, generates around 8% of the world’s CO2 emissions. If cities are to expand and become greener at the same time, they will have to be made from something else.Wood is one of the most promising sustainable(可持续的) alternatives to steel and concrete. It is not, however, everyday wood that is attracting the interest of architects.Rather, it is a material called engineered timber. This is a combination of different layers, each designed to meet the requirements of specific parts such as floors, panels and beams(横梁). Designers can use it to provide levels of strength like steel, in a product that is up to 80% lighter. In addition, engineered timber is usually made into large sections in a factory for future use, which reduces the number of deliveries to a construction site.According to Michael Ramage of the University of Cambridge, a wooden building produces 75% less CO2 than a steel and concrete one of the same size. However, if building with wood takes off, it does raise concern about there being enough trees left. But with sustainably managed forests that should not be a problem, says Dr Ramage. A family-sized apartment requires about 30 cubic metres of timber, and he estimates Europe’s sustainable forests alone grow that amount every seven seconds. Nor is fire a risk, for engineered timber does not burn easily. Besides, fireproof layers can be added to the timber. All in all, then, it looks as if wood as a building material may get a new lease of life.  12.Why is India mentioned in paragraph 1?A.To point out the severe pollution.B.To predict the population increase.C.To indicate the high degree of urbanisation.D.To show the great need for building materials.13.What can be learned about engineered timber?A.It is produced at a low cost.B.It hardly appeals to architects.C.It helps save energy in transportation.D.It possesses greater strength than steel.14.What does the underlined phrase “takes off” in the last paragraph mean?A.Becomes cheaper.B.Gains popularity.C.Requires less work.D.Proves sustainable.15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Making Future Cities More AttractiveB.Living in a World with Less EmissionC.Building Sustainable Cities with WoodsD.Growing More Trees for Future BuildingⅡ.七选五(共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)(2021·黑龙江齐齐哈尔高三二模)Having the option to study abroad is exciting.
