Music is said to be a universal language. But for Chase Burton, a deaf filmmaker fromTexas, 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.Burtonhas been trialing the suit for four years.
“The sound hits different parts of your body, ” saidBurton. “Maybe it will strikeme 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 inLas Vegaswhere 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,Burtonhopes that the vibrating suit will be available to his film audiences in the future. He believes the suit canenhanceemotions 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”.

I had very good parents. My mother came toAmericafromScotlandby herself when she was 11, and she didn’t have much education. My dad was kind of a street kid, and he eventually went into the insurance business, selling nickel policies door to door.One day, my dad asked his boss, “What's the toughest market to sell?” and the insurance guy replied “Well, black people. They don’t buy insurance.” My dad thought, but they have kids; they have families. Why wouldn’t they buy insurance? So he said, “Give meHarlem.”
When my dad died in 1994, I talked about him onThe Tonight Show. I told the story of how he worked in Harlem and how he always taught us to be open-minded and not to say or think things of racism (种族主义). Then one day, I got a letter from a woman who was about 75 years old.
She wrote that when she was a little girl, a man used to come to her house to collect policies. She said this man was the only white person who had ever come to dinner at their house. The man was very kind to her, she said, and his name was Angelo—was this my father?
The letter made me cry. I called her up and said yes, that was in fact my dad, and she told me how kind he had been to her family. Her whole attitude toward white people was based on that one nice man she met in her childhood, who always treated her with kindness and respect and always gave her a piece of candy. From this experience, I learned a valuable life lesson: never judge people and be open-minded and kind to others.

In recent years, with the development of technology, it is common to see robots into our homes in the form of toys and vacuums (吸尘器) without question. Children’s toys that rely on robotics for both entertainment and education are becoming more popular and more easily accessible. Robot vacuums, too, are so popular that the Roomba has even earned itself a name in popular television.
A selection of other household wares can be purchased and owned for a reasonable cost, but they all look and perform like vacuums. Our domestic helpers are currently designed to vacuuming, mopping, sweeping and mowing.
Of course the best known of these is the Roomba, but there is actually some competition amongst the autonomous vacuum manufacturers. Roomba, made by iRobot, now comes in several designs and has been through many versions of improvements. The basic model is just about $400, but there’s a more attractive version, complete with a wireless command center to control the robot from anywhere in the home. Samsung also has a vacuum, called the Smart Tango, which makes increased improvements on the Roomba by including brushes for cleaning corners. It’s possible that some of the less well-known vacuums might be even more exciting, like the Neato Robotics XV that takes on a square shape to better clean corners. Incremental (增值的) improvements are what drive the home robot industry.
Now that domestic robots are becoming more popular, the near future should be exciting. If we are going to welcome robots into our lives and our homes, we should expect them to work for it, and work hard. It’s the dawn of the robot revolution, whether we like it or not, and it would be great to see that technology put to use in more innovative(创新的) ways.
12. What does Roomba in the passage mean?
A. A man’s name who has bought a domestic robot.
B. A name of a big company who makes robots.
C. A type of vacuum whose name is Roomba.
D. A place where people can buy proper robots.
13. The Smart Tango is different from other types in that ________.
A. it has a wireless command center
B. it has brushes for cleaning corners
C. it is more famous and exciting
D. it is driven without electricity
14. What can we infer according to the last paragraph?
A. Domestic robots will free us from housework.
B. Domestic robots will become cheaper and cheaper.
C. Domestic robots have brought environmental revolution.
D. Domestic robots takes the lead in science and technology.
15. What does the author intend to tell in the passage?
A. Domestic robots are closely related to our daily life.
B. It is interesting to see domestic robots at home.
C. Domestic robots are too expensive for most people.
D. It is convenient to buy a domestic robot.

I felt very sad, regretting that when I hadn’t kept the scarf well. Soon after, we stopped at a service station. Feel upset, I found a bench and was about to ate my sandwich when a motorcyclist pulled into the station, “Is that your blue car?” he asked me. Although I felt surprising, I nodded quickly.

51.(1). 考查名词单复数。

句意：当我完成了所有的考试，我的家人开车去乡下度假。

“exam”是可数名词。

根据“all of”可知，此处应用其复数形式。

故把exam改成exams。

(2).考查时态。

句意：在我们的路上，我最喜欢的围巾突然飞出窗外不见了。

本文讲的是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。

故把is改成was。

(3).考查连词。

句意：我感到很难过，后悔没有把围巾保管好。

regretting后接宾语从句，句子成分完整，无需加when。

故删除I前的when。

(4).考查现在分词。

句意：我感到心烦意乱，找了条长凳正准备吃我的三明治，这时一个骑摩托车的人把车开进了车站。

此处作状语，“Feel upset”是祈使句，不能作状语。

主语“I”与“Feel”是主谓关系，用现在分词作状语。

故把Feel改成Feeling。

(5).考查动词不定式。

句意：我感到心烦意乱，找了条长凳正准备吃我的三明治，这时一个骑摩托车的人把车开进了车站。

“be about to”中to为不定式符号，后面动词要用原形。

故把ate改成eat。

(6).考查形容词。

句意：虽然我感到很惊讶，但还是很快地点了点头。

surprising表示“令人吃惊的”，surprised 表示“感到惊讶的”。

故把surprising改成surprised。

(7).考查冠词。

句意：那人从背包里拿出那条围巾，递给我。

这里的man指上文提到的骑摩托车的人，应用定冠词。

故把A改成The。

(8). 考查代词。

句意：他从自己的背包拿出了“我”的围巾。

由下文的“handed it to me”和“giving him a hug”故将my改为his。

(9).考查介词。

句意：然后他回到摩托车上，想要离开。

此处表示“回到摩托车旁”而不是“归还摩托车”。

故在returned后加to。

(10).考查副词。

句意：我走上前去，感激地给了他一个拥抱。

根据句意，这里应用副词修饰动词repaid，故把thankful改成thankfully。

52.略。
