一、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Video calls are a common occurrence, but have you imagined being able to touch the person on the other end of the line 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. ①______. It is 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. ②______. The existing technology also has great difficulty recreating the sense of touch with objects in virtual environments or located remotely, according to Mai Thanh Thai, lead author of the study.
③______. The research team introduced a novel method to recreate the sense of touch through soft, artificial “muscles”. It works like this: Imagine you are at home and you call your friend who is in Australia. You wear a haptic glove with the SSDs and your friend also wears a glove with integrated 3D force sensors. If your friend picks up an object, it will physically press against your friend’s fingers. ④______ 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 allow users to feel objects inside a virtual world or at a distance. This could be especially beneficial during such times like the COVID-19 pandemic when people rely on video calls to stay connected with loved ones. ⑤______. Doctors can feel a patient’s organ tissues with surgical tools without touching them.
A. The new technology overcomes issues with existing haptic devices
B. Haptic technology mimics the experience of touch by stimulating localized areas of the skin

A study revealed that, in most occasions, the outcome on a given task can be improved when two people have helped each other instead of working on their own. As early as 1624 John Donne has already popularized the phrase “No man is an island”. And this is especially true, be it in the workplace, in doing scientific research, or working in events. One of the benefits of cooperation is that people can pool together their skills and wisdom towards a common aim. Because of this, they have a higher chance of being more successful. ①___________
Teamwork promotes diversity. The very nature of teamwork requires a group of people from various backgrounds to come together and share their thinking. ②___________ This level of diversity generates cultural understanding, increased communication through collective knowledge of approaches and a larger resource of opinions.
③___________ Working within a team helps us to create an environment which inspires collective knowledge, resources and skills. Consequently, this allows us to pick some ideas and to reflect on our own way of thinking. Teamwork also encourages self-improvement because it helps us to expand our horizons and make better use of our own intrinsic capabilities. And since self-improvement helps us in seeking better ways to perform our role within a team, it improves both the efficiency and productivity of the team as a whole.
Completion of task becomes easy. Each member has unique skills to help with the project. ④___________ For example, you may ask one person to do research, another to take charge of social media marketing, and another to look after delivery. Teamwork can get the most of each person’s strengths.
⑤___________ For instance, tackling about climate change by researchers who come from different disciplines (学科) could potentially lead to ground-breaking researches. In the traditional research world, one researcher pursued a theme over several decades. However, academia is fostering a fresh research culture, whereby academic works advance through the creation of interdisciplinary research.
A. Teamwork encourages healthy competition.
B. It promotes peer learning and self-improvement.
C. So a task can be assigned based on a person’s skills and expertise.
D. There are many benefits we can gain out of teamwork and cooperation.
E The seeds of creativity and innovation spring from the exchange of ideas.

【小题2】根据上文“Vibration is the most common haptic technology today and has been built into many electronic devices.(振动是当今最常见的触觉技术,已经被嵌入到许多电子设备中)”以及后文“The existing technology also has great difficulty recreating the sense of touch with objects in virtual environments or located remotely, according to Mai Thanh Thai, lead author of the study.(该研究的主要作者Mai Thanh Thai说,现有的技术在虚拟环境或远程环境中再现物体的触感也有很大困难)”可知,后文提到了现在触觉技术的另一个缺点,推测本句与上文构成转折,指出触觉技术的缺点,后文中的also是关键词,说明空处提出了缺点之一,故C选项“然而,带振动的触觉反馈在连续使用时变得不那么敏感”符合语境,故选C。
【小题3】根据后文“The research team introduced a novel method to recreate the sense of touch through soft, artificial “muscles”. It works like this: Imagine you are at home and you call your friend who is in Australia. You wear a haptic glove with the SSDs and your friend also wears a glove with integrated 3D force sensors. If your friend picks up an object, it will physically press against your friend’s fingers.(该研究小组介绍了一种新方法,通过柔软的人工“肌肉”重建触觉。它是这样工作的:想象你在家里,你打电话给你在澳大利亚的朋友。你戴着带有SSD的触觉手套,你的朋友也戴着带有集成3D力传感器的手套。如果你的朋友拿起一个物体,它会压在你朋友的手指上)”可知,后文提到了研究人员对触觉技术的改进,结合上一段提到了触觉技术的两个缺点,可知新技术克服了现有触觉设备的问题。故A选项“新技术克服了现有触觉设备的问题”符合语境,故选A。
【小题4】根据上文“If your friend picks up an object, it will physically press against your friend’s fingers.(如果你的朋友拿起一个物体,它会压在你朋友的手指上)”以及后文“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.(力的信号可以发送到你的手套上,这样你的设备就会产生同样的3D力,让你和你的朋友体验到同样的触觉)”可知,上文提到物体会压在朋友的手指上,并且他们都带着3D力传感器的手套,所以手套应该能接受并测量到这种相互作用。故D选项“他们戴着3D力传感器的手套将测量这些相互作用”符合语境,故选D。
【小题5】根据后文“Doctors can feel a patient’s organ tissues with surgical tools without touching them.(医生不用接触手术工具就能感觉到病人的器官组织)”可知,后文提到了医生,可见这种设备可以用于医疗,故E选项“或者它可以用于医疗实践”符合语境,故选E。

As we restore the land, I feel my well-being returning, but I think the farm is also working its magic on our son's growing resilience(适应能力)。Since Dev was 20, he has lived with mental illness. We have been on this journey with him from crisis to recovery.
①_____ We found the farm.
It has taken a couple of years to clear the land, seed the lawn and build garden beds. But we did it even as other parts of our life had come undone. The farm was holding our family together. We come over on weekends and holidays and have been planting. ②_____

The desire to recover this land has grown in me. ⑤_____ He's found his own kind of guild that supports him. Owning a farm was never our plan but it came when our family needed a meaningful project.
