About Philip Colbert
His globally welcomed lobster series has won the hearts of a large number of followers. The artist, with a master's in philosophy, takes lobster as his second personality.
Through large installations, public art theme exhibition and new media art, the artist has introduced works from galleries and created a surreal art scenery in city's public space with a combination of pop art and local culture.

When Belquer first joined a team to make a better live music experience for deaf and hard-of-hearing people, he was struck by how they had developed workarounds to enjoy concerts. "What they were doing at the time was holding balloons to feel the vibrations（震动）through their fingers," Belquer said. He thought the team could make something to help hard-of-hearing people enjoy live music even more with the technology now available.
Belquer, who is also a musician and theater artist, is now the "Chief Vibrational Officer" of Music: Not Impossible, which uses new technology to address social issues like poverty and disability access. His team started by tying different vibrating cellphone motors to bodies, but that didn't quite work. The vibrations were all the same. Eventually, they worked with engineers to develop a light haptic（触觉的）suit with a total of 24 vibrating plates. There are 20 of them tied to a vest that fits tightly around the body like a hiking backpack, plus one that ties to each wrist and ankle. When you wear the suit, it's surprising how it feels.
The vibrations are mixed by a haptic DJ who controls the location, frequency and intensity of feeling across the suits, just as a music DJ mixes sounds in an artful way. "What we're doing is selecting and mixing what we want and send it to different parts of the body," said the DJ. The haptic suits were just one component of the event. There were American Sign Language interpreters；the music was captioned on a screen on the stage.
The suits are the star attraction. Lily Lipman, who has auditory processing disorder, lit up when asked about her experience. "It's cool, because I'm never quite sure if I'm hearing what other people are hearing, so it's amazing to get the music in my body."
24. What surprised Belquer about people with hearing problems
A. The attitude they held to life. B. The way they enjoyed music.
C. The love they had for balloons. D. The frequency they vibrated fingers.
25. Why did the team's first attempt fail
A. The vibrations were irregular. B. The motors were the same.
C. The motors hardly worked. D. The vibrations lacked variety.
26. What did the DJ do
A. He helped people feel the music. B. He captioned the music on stage.
C. He selected suits for the attendees. D. He interpreted the sign language.
27. What does Lily Lipman think of the suit
A. Comforting. B. Challenging. C. Satisfying. D. Encouraging.
C
Bringing species like beavers（河狸）back to England is no longer a priority, the government said on Friday to criticism from wildlife groups.
A recent report shows that one in six UK species are at risk of extinction. In September more than 60 conservation organisations reported a significant decline in species due to expansions in farming and the effects of climate change. In recent years, animals and plants have been reintroduced by charities as part of efforts to restore the country's reduced biodiversity.
Despite the government allowing this, the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee concluded in July that there was an absence of long-term plans on how to manage this. In response, the government has now said that the"reintroduction of species is not a priority".
The government said it was focused on increasing biodiversity through habitat restoration. The government's environment department has come under scrutiny（详细审查）for not doing more to prevent sewage dumping and other forms of pollution in England's waterways.
Sir Robert Goodwill, chair of the Committee, said he was disappointed with the government response. Bringing back extinct species is a controversial issue—although farmers and landowners appear broadly supportive, there are risks of reintroducing new species, and without clear guidance, problems could arise.
A recent study showed that river barriers similar to those built by beavers can protect communities at risk of flooding. But there have also been cases documented in Europe where beavers have built their dams in places that have damaged crops and changed rivers.
Joan Edwards, director of Policy & Public Affairs at The Wildlife Trusts said, "Reintroducing wildlife must be part of the UK government's arsenal（武器）for tackling nature loss and climate change—it is astonishing there is no strategy for doing so."
"The return of wild beavers can help to recreate lost wetlands, with a knock-on effect that benefits other wildlife including insects, invertebrates and birds. Beavers also slow the flow of water, which can reduce flood risks to towns and villages," she said.
28. What does paragraph 2 want to convey
A. The situation of species in the UK is severe.
B. Reintroduction of species in the UK is not a priority.
C. Expansions in farming have a great effect on climate change.
D. The UK government's response to reduced biodiversity is disappointing.
29. How did the UK government plan to increase biodiversity
A. By developing strategy. B. By offering guidance.
C. By expanding farming. D. By restoring habitat.
30. What did Joan Edwards think of reintroduction of wildlife
A. It was messy. B. It was limited.
C. It was beneficial. D. It was costly.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. The advantages of reintroducing wildlife.
B. The responses to a government statement.
C. The effects of climate change on farming.
D. The approaches to increasing biodiversity.
D
Researchers have proposed a novel method for counting and tracking vehicles on public roads, a development that could improve current traffic systems and help travelers get to their destinations faster.
Using the cameras already installed on campus buses at the Ohio State University, researchers proved that they could automatically and accurately measure counts of vehicles on urban roadways, detect objects in the road and distinguish parked vehicles from those that are moving.
In previous studies, Ohio State researchers found that using these mobile cameras provides much better spatial and temporal（时间 的）coverage than relying on often temporarily placed sensors that don't provide a view of many streets and roads in a city.
"If we collect and process more high-resolution（高清）spatial information about what's happening on the roads, then planners could better understand changes in demand, effectively improving efficiency in the broader transportation system," said Keith Redmill, lead author of the study.
"If we can measure traffic in a way that is as good or better than what is conventionally done with fixed sensors, then we will have created something incredibly useful extremely cheaply," he said. "Our goal is to start building a system that could do this without much manual intervention because if you want to collect this information over lots of potential vehicles and lots of time, it's worth fully automating that process."
While still a long way from total implementation（实施）, the study suggests the system's results bear promise for the future of intelligent traffic surveillance. Transportation planners, engineers and operators make vital decisions about the future of our roadways, so when designing transportation systems to work over the next 30 to 50 years, it's necessary that we give them data that allows them to improve the efficiency of the system and the level of service provided to travelers.
32. How can cameras on buses benefit travelers
A. By shortening their travel time.
C. By decreasing their transport cost.
B. By making their schedules tight.
D. By improving their safety awareness.
33. What can we know about the sensors placed on buses
A. They provide more spatial coverage.
B. They can't detect objects on the road.
C. They cover less view of the urban traffic.
D. They accurately record the flow of traffic.
34. What does the underlined word"surveillance"in paragraph 6 mean
A. Operation. B. Monitoring. C. Protection. D. Arrangement.
35. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Transportation automation is on its way
B. It is time to improve the efficiency of traffic system
C. Transportation planners use cameras to make policies
D. Cameras installed on buses can better measure traffic

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Getting and staying focused can be a challenge even in the best of times. But with everything going on in the world, concentrating can often feel down-right impossible. Below are some tips to help you find your flow.
Distract（使分心）your brain. Schedule into every workday some breaks from all that focusing and allow your mind to travel into what's called the"default（默认的）mode network"for a bit of freestyle activities. 36 . It's the place where our minds find innovation and creativity and often make better decisions than the focused mind.
37 . This involves first turning your attention inward. Try traveling with your mind to someplace enjoyable— maybe it's a walk through an imaginary forest or sunbathing on a warm sandy beach. Doing this several times a day can offer your mind a fresh approach to the job at hand.
Block interruptions before diving into deep work. 38 . To help, turn off text messaging, notifications and social media alerts. Be vital when you want a deep dive into focus. Your important work benefits when you shut off or put away your phone and other screens.
Know your body clock. Whether you are sharp in the morning or a night owl, don't spend your day-in particular your peak brain hours—doing busywork. 39 .
Try new hobbies. Engaging in hobbies not only is fun but can help us come up with new solutions to problems we' re facing at work or home. 40
A. Try to daydream what happened
B. We try to obtain focus but in vain
C. Engage in positive constructive daydreaming
D. Instead, reserve your best brain time for the big stuff
E. This network of the brain circuit is where magic happens
F. Our days are filled with distractions, from others and ourselves
G. Allowing your mind time to play is another way to invite innovation

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Diesel engines（柴油机）work on the same basic principles 56 gasoline engines, but they do the work differently. Let's take a closer look.
The story of the diesel engine actually begins with the invention of the gasoline engine. Nikolaus August Otto 57 （invent）the gasoline engine in 1861. His invention used the four-stroke combustion（四冲程燃烧）principle, also known as the "Otto Cycle", 58 is the basis for most car engines today. In its early stage, the gasoline engine wasn't very efficient, and other major methods of transportation, such as the steam engine, performed 59 （poor）as well. Only about 10 percent of the fuel 60 （use）to power these types of engines actually moved a vehicle. The rest of the fuel simply produced useless heat.
Rudolf Diesel created an engine with high efficiency, and he devoted much of his time to 61 （develop）a "combustion power engine". By 1892 Diesel had obtained a patent for 62 we now call the diesel engine.
For decades, diesel engines had a reputation for being dirty and loud. While Europe adopted the technology pretty widely, most 63 （drive）in the United States said, "No, thank you." By the 21st century, though diesel engines became far cleaner, much 64 （quiet）and even more efficient, they experienced a setback in popular opinion because of a scandal（丑闻）in 2014. Thanks to 65 （they）proven efficiency, though, diesel engines are regaining some ground.

A Fortunate Escape
"Truth or Dare, Ben " Max questioned. Max, Ben and I were walking home together while I took small bites of the beef burger I had grabbed from a shop nearby. "Truth or Dare" was a game we usually played to amuse ourselves on the lengthy, boring journey home. Ben wanted a dare. "Well, Ben, I dare you to carry my bag all the way home!" Max commanded as we laughed at poor Ben's trouble.
As Ben pulled the heavy bag up his shoulder and adjusted the bag straps, he noticed that Max's bag was partially open. When he hurriedly put it on his back, an object flew out of the bag, and over the fence of our neighbour's house.
"Oh, no," Max cried, "I think that was my English assignment." Stretching his hand out and trying to crawl（爬）under the fence to save the paper, Ben found that it was just out of reach.
"Well, I guess I'll just have to climb over the fence to get it," Ben said. He was barely able to climb up, using the small gaps in the wooden fence as handholds as the fence was nearly as tall as him（which was not very tall）, and low enough for something to be thrown over it. Sliding down the fence, Ben grabbed the valued piece of paper, complaining about injured dignity. Just then, a loud and frightening bark cut his words short.
"Woof, Woof!" Our neighbour, Mr Mason, owned a German shepherd（kind of dog）, well-known for its fierceness, which guarded the house. It was something we had overlooked, too focused on bringing back Max's assignment. Ben's legs trembled like jelly and his face turned a deathly white as the German shepherd advanced slowly on him like a wolf moving towards its target.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Max and I stared at it in fear.
Just then I caught sight of my half-eaten burger on the path.

M: Hello, everybody. Today I'd like to share with you something about John James Audubon. John was born on April 26th, 1785. He spent much of his childhood in France where he spent many hours each day outdoors painting pictures. At the age of 18, he moved to the United States. Well, actually, John began his life in the US as a businessman. However, instead of taking care of his business, John was often off exploring nature. At first, John spent his time hunting for fun. Then he found that the animals around were very beautiful, and he particularly enjoyed observing the birds he saw. He began studying them, trying to learn the differences between the birds and noticing their different behaviors. Therefore, he painted the birds he observed a lot. In 1819, John realized that he didn't have enough money to pay his bills. He was very upset that he couldn't earn enough money to support his family. So he spent time improving his painting skills and began to sell his paintings. He discovered that he could earn some money while doing something he really enjoyed. We are lucky now to have so many paintings of American birds by John James Audubon.

Dear Novak,
I know you are good at playing the violin, and I was deeply impressed by your performance at the school evening party last time. I admire your playing skills very much. If it's convenient for you, I'd like to learn to play the violin from you. I hear that you are also interested in Chinese musical instruments. It happens that I am good at Chinese lute. In return, I can share my playing skills with you. I hope you will consider my advice, which will be a win-win one.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Dropping everything, I searched my bag for something to help Ben.

Grabbing it from the pavement, I used all my strength to throw it over the fence, hitting the German shepherd directly on the neck. "Eat it, dog!" I shouted.

The three of us made our way home again, agreeing that it was a fortunate escape.
