21、   The Australian state of New South Wales rolled out “high definition detection cameras" on Sunday, designed to catch drivers using cell phones behind the wheel.

Andrew Constance, New South Wales' minister for roads, said the "world-fist" technology would target illegal cell phone use through "fixed and mobile cameras". The cameras will use artificial intelligence to review images and detect illegal use of cell phones, according to Transport for NSW.

Images identified as being likely to contain a driver illegally using a cell phone would then be verified by traffic police. Those images would be securely stored and managed.

Over the next three years, 45 portable cameras would be set up across the state, in unknown locations, and without warning signs, CNN branch Sky News Australia reported.

For the first three months, drivers caught out by the technology would receive a warning letter, Transport for New South Wales said in a statement, after which the drivers would face a fine of up to $344, or $457 in a school zone, and loss of points on their drivers' license.

“The NSW Government is serious about reducing our state's road deaths and launching mobile phone detection cameras is another way we will do this." Con stance said in a statement.

Officials said that a trial of the technology earlier in the year had caught more than 100,000 drivers illegally using a phone behind the wheel. Some 329 people died this year on New South Wales' roads, Reuters news agency reported, compared with 354 people for 2018, according to official statistics.

【1】Why does the NSW Government set up detection cameras?

A.To get some real-time information about the traffic.

B.To monitor people crossing the street casually.

C.To catch drivers using cell phones illegally.

D.To improve the work efficiency of the police.

23、   Hedy Lamarr was used to being admired for her looks. As a Hollywood film star, she was called “the most beautiful woman” in the world. What she was less known for was her scientific thinking ability. During World War II, Lamarr quietly co-invented the technology that would be the precursor (前身) to Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and other systems we rely on today.

She had a natural curiosity about the world around her. As young as 5, she would spend time taking apart and rebuilding her music box to understand how it worked. At 16, she got her first Him role and quickly became an international icon (偶像). As her acting career continued to take off, World War II broke out. Lamarr became restless, feeling that she should do more to contribute to the Allies’ war efforts. “Lamarr said that she did not feel very comfortable, sitting there in Hollywood and making lots of money when things were in such a state,” says George Antheil

Together with Antheil, Lamarr came up with a groundbreaking new form of wireless communication known as Spread Spectrum (频谱). The concept was to create a wireless signal that could travel quickly from frequency to frequency. But the military refused to use it in their war efforts. The technology sat unused for years, until one day in the 1960s, the military accepted it and called the system “Spread like Wildfire”.

Hedy Lamarr played the role she was expected to play in Hollywood - a beautiful star on the big screen. And without her, communication could look completely different today. Lamarr’s experience can serve as a reminder: Pursue your talents and passions. Not only will the world be better for it, but every pioneer who challenges the old will pave the way for others to follow.

【1】Which of the following best describes Lamarr?

A．She became an international star in her childhood.

B．She was popular for her extraordinary beauty.

C．She invented the technology completely by her own.

D．She had to do more to gain success in her career.

【2】What motivated Lamarr to invent “Spread Spectrum”?

A．Making lots of money.

B．Becoming more popular.

C．Showing off her ability.

D．Helping the Allies’ war efforts.

【3】What can we know from Paragraph 3?

A．A fast-frequently-spreading signal was created in Spread Spectrum.

B．The name “Spread like Wildfire” showed the hidden danger.

C．Showing off her ability.

D．Helping the Allies’ war efforts.

【4】Which can be the best title for the text?

A．A Film Star With A Great Contribution

B．An International Icon

C．A Woman And The Allies, War Efforts

D．A Wireless Communication

24、   So you're going to the royal wedding！Let's review a checklist of everything you'll need to know.

What to wear at the ceremony

Did you get your fascinator yet？That's a trick question because you probably don't even know what a fascinator is. Royal dress code etiquette（礼仪）states that women must wear hats for formal events，and fascinators are the preferred accessory（配饰）.These funny hats boast a large decorative design. If you haven't packed one，no worries. Simply glue a cabbage to the side of your head. No one will be the wiser，and you can always snack on your fascinator should the wedding ceremony drag on. Gentlemen are expected to wear morning coats and top hats. Royals will likely wear their military uniforms.

Meeting the royals

Men, when greeting the royals, a simple bow will do. Not so low that it looks as if you're examining the carpet for any medals they might have dropped. This is a slight neck bow. Women perform a curtsy. Simply put one leg behind the other, bend your knees, bow your head slightly -and fall over because you've never done this before.

Chatting up the queen

The first rule of talking to the queen: Don't talk. That is, unless spoken to. If she does start a conversation and you find you've run out of interesting stuff to discuss after "Hello," break the ice with a joke "Hey, why did the queen go to the dentist? To get her teeth crowned!"

Dining

Every meal begins and ends with the queen. You can't start eating until she starts，and you stop when she stops. The queen doesn't appear to be a large eater，so you should wolf down your food in case she push the plate away after a few bites，When dining，the royals hold knives in their right hand and forks in their left with the tines facing down. Should they spill（洒落）even a pea，they drop one spot in the royal line of succession.

【1】What do women prefer for the royal wedding？

A.Morning coats. B.Military uniforms.

C.Hats with fascinators. D.Cabbages.

【2】What behaviour is proper at the ceremony?

A.Performing a deep bow or curtsy.

B.Finishing the meal with the queen.

C.Chatting with the queen freely.

D.Dropping a pea while eating.

A.Humorous. B.Serious.

C.Plain. D.Official
