主要讲述了伊丽莎白女王的人生事迹。

13. Born in 1926, Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary was not originally chosen for the special position. However, that changed in 1936, when her
father’s brother Edward Ⅷ gave up being the king and her father, George Ⅵ, took his place as the king. Suddenly, the 10-year-old was the heiress(女继承人).
Elizabeth’s royal(王室的)duties didn’t stop her interest in technology. During World War II, the princess wanted her father to allow her to do something for her country. Her father finally agreed to let her volunteer for the British Army, where she became a driver and trained in auto mechanics.
It was a pioneering move: Not only was she the first member of her family ever to serve in the military, but the sight of a woman taking apart engines and changing tires signalled a sea change in social and gender roles that would continue throughout the future queen’s lifetime.
In 1952, Elizabeth became queen of her country upon her father’s death. Her rule was modern from the very start. The new queen’s birth had roughly happened at the same time as the development of television, and during planning for her coronation(加冕礼)she broke with tradition and allowed the BBC to broadcast the event over live TV. It was the first coronation ever televised, and it literally created must-see TV.
Elizabeth came to power as the atomic age kicked into full swing, and she helped introduce the nation to those nuclear advances. In 1956, she opened the world’s first complete nuclear power station, Calder Hall. But the technology came with risk: The next year, a reactor at a nearby nuclear power plant, Windscale, caught fire, which was Great Britain’s worst nuclear disaster.
The queen also launched live broadcasts of royal addresses and permitted royal use of the Internet. Besides, she was one of the first people to ride through the Channel Tunnel, the undersea railway linking Britain to the rest of Europe.
1. After World War Ⅱ broke out, how did Elizabeth support her country?
A．By encouraging women to volunteer.B．By using her influence to stop the war.
C．By getting away from her royal duties.D．By joining the army to serve her country.
2. What does the author think of Elizabeth’s move during World War Ⅱ?
A．Normal.B．Significant.C．Unnecessary.D．Unreasonable.
3. What does the queen’s decision about her coronation indicate?
A．She didn’t really want to be queen.
B．She loved watching TV very much.
C．She liked adopting new technology.
D．She didn’t consider her coronation modern.
4. What can we learn about Elizabeth in paragraph 5?
A．She considered nuclear power important for her country.
B．She was satisfied with her country’s nuclear advances.
C．She didn’t show much interest in nuclear power.
D．She considered nuclear power dangerous.

文章主要介绍了为了监控老年人的安全，EchoCare Technologies公司开发了ECHO，这是一种基于雷达技术和机器学习的云连接监控器。

该设备可以监测到与使用者健康有关的危险事件。

14. Independent living at home is the dream for every aging person. But a fall or other incidents dangerous to health can change everything rapidly.
The wearable "panic buttons" introduced in the late 1980s were a great advance. But they only work if people actually wear them and can reach the button in an emergency. Today there are passive wearables that automatically detect (探测) falls, and camera-based systems to monitor elder safety.
Coming from a 40-year career in the semiconductor and wireless communication field, Rafi Zack decided to find a better alternative. “People aren’t devoted to wearing small instruments 24/7, and camera-based systems are a violation of privacy,” he points out, “The most challenging aspect is a fall. How fast we can detect a fall matters because the medical situation worsens quickly. Sometimes people stay on the floor for a long time. We have to find out how to address that problem.”
Zack is a co-founder, CEO and vice president of R&D at EchoCare Technologies which has developed ECHO (Elderly Care Home Observer), a cloud-connected monitor based on radar technology and machine learning.
Because radar sees through walls, one ECHO unit fixed on the ceiling or wall can monitor one person (or two persons, in a future version) in a standard-sized apartment in a senior living facility(机构). The instrument detects falls, breathing difficulties, drowning in a bathtub and other dangerous events. It gives out warnings to potential health worsening conditions by continuously monitoring and analyzing the person’s location, posture (姿势), movement and breath. EchoCare tested the instrument in the United States, Japan, Australia and Israel. ECHO was certified (认证) in 2019 in Japan with the most aging population in the world.
“Bathrooms were the main testing area where about 17,000 deadly accidents happen annually.” said SMK Director and Executive Vice President Tetsuo Hara. “Bathroom makers, home security service providers and nursing homes are highly interested in EchoCare’s invention.” Zack noted, “As more and more elder people live alone as a result of social distancing, there is an increased need to monitor them without the burden of wearables or privacy-violating cameras.”
1. What’s the advantage of ECHO over “panic buttons”?
A．It has camera-based systems.B．It has been widely accepted.
C．It can function without cameras.D．Its buttons can be easily reached.
2. What can we know about ECHO from paragraph 5?
A．It monitors dangerous health-related events.
B．It was certified in many developed countries.
C．It is designed to send out warnings regularly.
D．It detects more than one person at the same time.
3. What can we infer about the future of ECHO?
A．It’ll become more popular with the elderly.
B．It’ll stop 17,000 deaths happening annually.
C．It’ll be used in nursing homes and hospitals.
D．It’ll help elderly people to live an active life.
4. What can be the best title for the passage?
A．An Advanced Medical Instrument
B．A High-tech Monitor for the Elderly
C．The Improvement of a Medical Facility
D．The Invention of a Healthcare Instrument

文章主要讲述电子垃圾的增加及电子垃圾的危害。

16. Electronic waste, also known as e-waste, consists of a discarded phones, printers, TVs, electric toothbrushes and many other electronic goods no longer in use.
A shocking 53. 6 million tons of electronic waste was generated worldwide in 2019 — less than a fifth of which was recycled, according to UN's Global E-waste Monitor 2020 report.
Of the total e-waste last year, Asia contributed the biggest amount — 46.4 per cent — followed by the Americas(24.4 percent), Europe (22.3 percent), Africa (5.4 percent) and Oceania (1.3 percent).
The combined heap of e-waste for 2019 averaged 7. 3 kg for every man, woman and child on Earth. The UK averaged the second-biggest in the world, at 23.9 kg, behind Norway, which averaged 26kg.
The report also reveals that just 17.4 percent of the e-waste was properly collected and recycled. E-waste is a health and environmental hazard (危害), containing hazardous substances such as mercury, which damages the human brain.
After a device is discarded and e-waste is warmed up, toxic chemicals are released into the air, damaging the atmosphere. E-waste in landfills can also seep (渗透) toxic materials into groundwater, affecting animals and plants.
Gold, silver, copper, and other high-value materials were collectively valued at $57 billion. However, they were mostly dumped or burned rather than being collected for treatment and reuse. In countries with developing markets, an increasing number of household electronics like refrigerators, air
conditioners, and lamps are now being bought, leading to the rapid increase in e-waste. A global obsession with smart phones, which tend to be replaced by an updated model after a year, also helps build e-waste piles.
It's not that countries don't have policies to fight e-waste since 2014, the number of countries that have adopted a national e-waste policy has increased from 61 to 78, the report says. But advances are slow, enforcement (执行) is poor, and policies fail to encourage the collection and proper management of e-waste. The lack of effective policies around the world needs to be addressed (解决) as soon as possible.
1. According to official figures, how much e-waste was recycled in 2019?
A．53.6 million tons.B．10.8 million tons.
C．9.3 million tons.D．20.1 million tons.
2. E-waste does harm in many aspects EXCEPT ________________.
A．health condition B．electronic products
C．energy resources D．environmental protection
3. What's the attitude toward reducing e-waste according to the report?
A．Tolerant.B．Indifferent.C．Ambiguous.D．Critical.
4. What's the main idea of this text?
A．E-waste is increasing.B．E-waste is being reduced.
C．E-waste is harmful to people.D．E-waste is being encouraged.
