B As the founder of UK nonprofit The Esther Project, Lianne Kirkman, who works to provide shelter; recovery, and rehabilitation(康复) to women experiencing homelessness, has been at the forefront of her career for over a decade, But this year, in an effort to truly learn more about the lived experiences of the people her organization serves, Kirkman set off on a 10-stop tour across the country, meeting with other shelters and nonprofits-and sleeping on the street for 10 nights in a row. Along her stops, Kirkman met with other nonprofits working to specifically support women facing homelessness. She started at her home base of Royal Leamington Spa on February 1 of this year and then traveled to Coventry, Birmingham, Bristol, Plymouth, Southampton, London, Doncaster, Hull, and Blackpool. She finally arrived back home earlier this week. "I am so grateful for the fact that I can go home," she said. "It's been awful every morning thinking I can't go home and that I can't get in a bed, This has been one experience 1 will never, ever forget." Women experiencing homelessness face unique barriers that often go overlooked. According to The Esther Project, 65% of Londoners in temporary accommodation are women. But many do not feel safe with those accommodations and those who cannot access them also face the dangers of street-sleeping, as well, leaving them with nowhere to go. Kirkman's journey was meant to truly understand these realities. In addition to raising awareness, the 10-night sleepout has raised over f14,o0o (about $ 17,400) for The Esther Project. It will go towards opening a new"one stop shop women's center" in Warwickshire Kirkman said she originally thought she'd raise f5,ooo, but the support on her journey was greater than expected. "We are really amazed by the support we're getting," she said. "This was mainly a research project for me. This was about working out best practices for women, and I've been amazed by some of the fantastic organizations I've been to, You've taught me a lot,"Kirkman continued. "I know what we need to do." 24. Why did Kirkman sleep on the street for 10 nights? A. To compete with other shelters in hundraising. B. To test her survival skills in extreme conditions 【高三英语 第2页(共8页)】 C. To promote her nonprofit organization publicly. 1 D. To experience homeless women's lives in person. 25. How did Kirkman feel after finishing her street-sleeping experience? B. Relieved. C. Thrilled. A.Regretful. D. Annoyed. 26. What issue do homeless women in temporary shelters face? A. Safety concerns. B. Strict shelter regulations. C. Limited medical resources D. High accommodation costs. 27. What is the main use of the money raised? A. Providing direct financial aid B. Expanding shelters nationwide C. Creating a women's support center D. Funding homelessness research C Novel technology intends to redefine the virtual reality (VR) experience by expanding tc incorporate a new sensory connection: taste. The interface, named "e-Taste", uses a combination of sensors and wireless chemical dispensers(分配器) to facilitate the remote perception(感知) of taste-what scientists call gustation These sensors can identify molecules(分子) like glucose and glutamate-chemicals that represent the five basic tastes of sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. Once captured via an electrical signal, that data is wirelessly passed to a remote device for copying Field testing done by researchers at the Ohio State University confirmed the device' ability to digitally simulate (模拟) a range of taste intensities, while still offering variety and safety for the user. Taste is a subjective sense that can change from one moment to another. Yet this complex feeling is the product of two ef the body's chemical sensing systems working at the same to ensure what you eat is safe and nutritious, the taste and the smell senses, "Taste and smell are greatly related to human emotion and memory," said Jinghua Li, co-author of the study and an assistant professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the Ohio State University. "So our sensor has to learn to capture, control and store all that information." Despite the difficulty involved in exactly simulating similar taste sensations for a majority of people, researchers found that in human trials, participants could distinguish between different sour intensities in the liquids generated by the system with an accuracy rate of about 70%. Further tests assessing e-Taste's ability to immerse players in a virtual food experience also analyzed its long-range capabilities, showing that remote tasting could be initiated in Ohic from as far away as California. While these results open up opportunities to pioneer new VR experiences, this team's findings are especially significant because they could potentially provide scientists with a deeper understanding of how the brain processes sensory signals from the mouth. 28. Whan is the function of the chemical dispensers? A. To identify the five basic tastes. B. To control and store taste information C. To allow remote taste perception. D. To enhance traditional sensor accuracy. 【高三英语 第3页(共8页)】 29. How do the sensors in e-Taste identify tastes? A. By analyzing colors. B. By dctecting specific molecules C. By matching flavors. D. By measuring temperatures. 30. What challenge does the e-Taste face when simulating taste sensations? A. It is not safe for users at present. B. It can't simulate salty taste accurately. C. It reauires continuous manual adiustment. D. It can't copy similar taste experiences for everyone. 31. What scientific value does the last paragraph highlight for the research A. Adyancing VR gaming experiences B. Simplifying taste sensor production C. Improving long-distance chemical delivery. D. Figuring out how the brain processes taste signals D A new study from the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) hes found that tiny plastic pollutants floating in the air are settling in the lungs of birds, Researchers around the 1 world are increasingly concerned that these harmful particles(微粒) are ubiquitous in the air we breathe and the food we eat. Shane DuBay, an assistant professor of biology at UTA and co-author of the study, said birds were chosen for the study because they are found in almost every corner of the world and often share environments with humans "Birds serve as important indicators of environmental conditions," said DuBay, who collaborated with researchers from Sichuan University and Chengdu Tianfu International Airport, both in Chengdu, China. "They help us understand the state of the environment and make informed decisions about conservation and pollution control." DuBay's team studied 56 different wild birds from 51 distinct species, all sampled from the Chengdu Tianfu International Airport in western China. They collected lung samples from each bird and performed two types of chemical analyses They used laser direct infrared technology to detect and count microplastics in the birds' lungs. The study found high concentrations of microplastics in bird lungs, with an average of 221 particles per species and 416 particles per gram of lung tissue. The most common types identified were chlorinated polyethylene, used for insulating pipes and wires, and butadiene rubber, a synthetic material in tires. While no official "safe" level of plastic particles in lung tissue exists, high levels of microplastics have been linked to serious health conditions, including heart disease, cancer. breathing problems and fertility issues. “Our research highlights an urgent need to address plastic pollution in our environments as these pollutants can have far-reaching impacts on ecosystem health, as well as human health," DuBay said. "Our findings call for further research, funding and action to reduce the 【高三英语 第4页(共8页)】 harmful effects of plastic pollution and ensure a healthier environment." 32. What does the underlined word "ubiauitous" in paragraph 1 mean? C. Dangerous. B. Invisible. A. Widespread. D. Obvious. 33. Why were birds chosen for the research? A. TChey help identify microplastics. B. They reflect environmental health. C. They indicate urban pollution levels D. They show direct human health impacts 34. What is the top priority now according to the researchers? A. To address climate change. B. fo promote bird conservation. C. To deal with plastic pollution D. To study the effects of microplastics 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Birds are in danger-and researchers are alarmed B. Birds breathe in dangerous plastics-and so do we C. Birds indicate environmental health-and research is ongoing 如 D Birds share environments with humans-and pollution is everywhere 第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 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 选项。 K Bad thoughts can be a persistent, invisible weight that you carry from day to day Fortunately, there are strategies you can use to block out or at least minimize negative & thinking so that it doesn't bother you.
