Last week, four American brothers travelled to Ireland as visitors — but as they rescued a little girl and her father from drowning in the ocean, they are now leaving the country as heroes.

Eoghan, Walter and Declan Butler had travelled to the Emerald Isles (a popular nickname for Ireland) from Washington D．C． with their brother-in-law Alex Thomson in order to attend their grandfather’s funeral (葬礼). The young men had been preparing to enjoy a relaxing afternoon on the beach when they heard someone calling for help.

A six-year-old girl on a flotation device had been swept out to the sea by a current when her father started yelling for help. Eoghan, Declan and Alex immediately rushed into the ocean to rescue the girl while Walter stayed on the shore in case someone needed CPR (心肺复苏). Since the girl had already drifted (漂流) half a mile away from the shore, the three brothers were forced to swim for 25 minutes in order to reach her — an energy-consuming job, even for three athletic young men. Once they reached the girl, the brothers then took turns swimming on their backs in order to pull the girl’s flotation device back to the shore on their chests.

Upon successfully bringing the girl back to the dry land, Eoghan and Declan noticed that the girl’s father was still in the water after he had put on a life vest to swim out and help with the rescue mission. The twin brothers then jumped back into the water and rescued the struggling father as well.

Though the young men felt relieved to have rescued the father and daughter, they felt particularly moved when they were visited by the little girl’s mother the very next day. “Seeing her jump around and kiss her mom was actually amazing,” Declan told The Washington Post.

Furthermore, the boys realized that they had rescued the little girl on the exact same day when the brother of their grandfather had drowned several decades before.

24．Why did the four brothers go to the Emerald Isles?

A．They went there for sightseeing. B．They attended a family gathering.

C．They attended their grandfather’s funeral. D．They visited their grandfather’s brother.

25．How is the third paragraph developed?

A．By providing examples. B．By making comparisons.

C．By drawing some conclusions. D．By following the time of order.

26．How did the brothers feel when the girl’s mother visited them the next day?

A．Relieved. B．Proud. C．Grateful. D．Touched.

27．What can we learn about the brothers?

A．They made a great effort to save the girl.

B．Walter was the three brothers’ brother-in-law.

C．It was Declan and Alex who saved the girl’s father.

D．The boys rescued the girl on the day when their father died.

（2022春·吉林·高二校联考期末）Humans have little difficulty recognizing one another. We may not recall a name, but we can usually remember if we’ve seen a face. And we know that no two faces are exactly alike. Even “identical” twins have slightly different faces. Each human face is truly unique, which makes seeing someone’s face a great way to confirm their identity. And now we’ve invented machines that are able to recognize faces, which they are doing daily for numerous purposes at lightning speed.

Governments, banks, employers, border security and police services are increasingly using facial recognition technology. This allows them to quickly confirm an individual’s identity. Systems are becoming so efficient and effective that a wanted criminal can instantly be picked out of a crowd of thousands of people. All that’s required is an image in a database to compare with the images of any number of people in a crowd.

Ordinary people, too, are using facial recognition to unlock their phones, their computers and other devices. Such systems are generally quite secure. According to a cellphone company, for example, there is only one chance in a million that a face other than your own could unlock your phone.

Personal facial recognition protection has several benefits. It is instantaneous (瞬间完成的), and it relieves us of the need to memorize passwords or PINs (Personal Identification Numbers). However, a device will require a password in a rare event where it doesn’t, for whatever reason, recognize the user’s face.

Technology often makes our lives easier in everyday ways. However, sometimes the same technology is used in ways that we might find disturbing. For some people, it is good, but for other people, it might bring bad and uncomfortable feelings. Is there a disadvantage to the rapid spread of facial recognition technology? There are numerous concerns about the use of facial recognition. Primarily, the concern is that it may threaten privacy (隐私). The installation (安装) of more and more cameras in public and private places is now a part of everyday life. Those cameras are being linked with huge image databases. This means people can be observed and recognized wherever they go and whatever they do. Cameras on every lamppost (街灯柱) may make public spaces safer, but keeping citizens who obey the law under constant watch is disturbing to many.

When a person wears a mask or a scarf, which covers his face, facial recognition systems are having some difficulty. A mask covers many of the facial data points used by recognition software to confirm a person’s identity. In response, facial recognition systems are being trained to use less facial data. That could affect how dependable it is as a method of identity detection.

28．Why can we identify people by seeing someone’s face?

A．A human’s face is not often covered. B．A human’s face is easy to memorize.

C．A human’s face is the only one of its kind. D．A human’s face can show one’s feelings.

29．What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?

A．Practical uses of facial recognition technology.   B．Development of facial recognition technology.

C．Different ways to unlock phones and computers.   D．Databases to compare with the images of people.

30．How should people usually deal with a device if it doesn’t recognize the-user’s face?

A．By restarting it. B．By having it repaired.

C．By recognizing one’s voice. D．By using a password.

31．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A．Most people believe it is illegal to use facial recognition in public.

B．Using less facial data could influence the accuracy of recognition.

C．Wearing a mask doesn’t affect facial recognition at all.

D．The cameras are only linked with personal computers.

D

Most paper receipts (发票) are not recyclable. This is because they’re on thermal paper (热敏纸), which contains a chemical called BPA or sometimes BPS that cannot be easily removed from the paper during the recycling process. So we need a safe method of dealing with paper receipts.

Thermal printing uses heat from a printer head to print letters and numbers; no ink is used. This process requires the addition of BPA or BPS in the “free form”, which means that the chemicals are not bound to the soft paper. According to Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families, “The chemicals can easily transfer to anything a receipt touches.” They can be transferred from fingers to the mouth via food, or absorbed directly into the skin when held. BPA or BPS can affect brain development, the heart, lungs and reproductive abilities.

If thermal paper were to be recycled, it would contaminate other products in the recycling stream with BPA or BPS. These products are often turned into items such as facial tissues, paper towels and shopping bags and having BPA or BPS in them would mean our coming into even closer contact with the chemicals. Burning and composting are not an option either, as they would release BPA and BPS into the atmosphere or soil.

The only safe place to throw thermal paper receipts is in the rubbish, followed by immediate hand washing. It’s not ideal, but it is the most effective way to separate BPA and BPS from the environment. Sierra magazine offers a small bit of relief: “Throwing receipts is not the severest of wrong behaviors, since they amount to a tiny part of all paper consumed, according to industry sources.”

If you require a paper record for business purposes and if you often go to the same shops, ask if they consider switching to BPA- and BPS-free thermal paper. The best solution is to ask for receipts to be emailed, rather than printed. Not only will you avoid chemical exposure, but you will also decrease the demand for a paper product that drives deforestation every year; do away with that demand altogether and recycling becomes far less urgent.

32．Why does thermal paper need BPA or BPS?

A．To react with ink freely.                B．To be easily recycled.

C．To be easily removed.                  D．To make the writing come out.

33．What can best replace the underlined word “contaminate” in Paragraph 3?

A．Pollute. B．Transform.

C．Color. D．Destroy.

34．What is Sierra magazine’s attitude to putting thermal paper receipts in dustbins?

A．Opposed. B．Cautious. C．Supportive. D．Ambiguous.

35．Why does the writer write the text?

A．To state the functions of BPA and BPS.       B．To express concern over the use of BPA and BPS.

C．To prove the harm of thermal paper receipts.   D．To offer ways to tackle thermal paper receipts.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

（2022春·浙江·高二校联考期末）As a young boy, I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad. He was a rural mail carrier and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure: There were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did.

In the spring, Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when I was a boy it was such fun to stick your fingers through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck (啄) on your fingers.

On Dad’s final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each fatuity was waiting at their mailbox to appreciate him for his friendship and his years of service. “Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route,” he used to say, and a story at every one. One lady had no mailbox, so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind. He once lectured me that to bring everyone plain pleasure is his greatest pleasure, which has clung to me so far.

Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. A young girl wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps.

With a heavy heart, I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad’s death, and the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasn’t the case.

As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of the street. When my dad was around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. One box was painted green, and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: Santa Claus, NORTH POLE. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those holes. I was among the kids whose letters were always answered in time.

I made a turn at the corner and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house. Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps. There, at the door, stood Frank Townsend, Dad’s postmaster and great friend for many years. Threads of silver ran through his beard and the hair. Obviously, time and sorrow for the past days ploughed deep wrinkles on his brow. Sitting down at the table, he began to tell old stories.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150词左右；

2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。

At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes as if recalling something.__________________
