Download the Android TV Remote Control or Apple TV Remote apps for the devices if you have a streaming stick.Subtitle Your LifeLive Transcribe is a simple and effective Android app, preinstalled on Google's Pixel 3 phones, which transcribes speech in almost real time. If you're hard of hearing, it can help you follow a conversation without need for a hearing aid, or enjoy unsubtitled live broadcasts, such as radio dramas. Theoretically, it could also produce a reliable written record of a meeting. However, due to privacy concerns, it has not yet been permitted to save or share transcripts.Singalong Your ContactsConnectivity is not always convenient. If you frequently find yourself rushing from the garden or bathroom to pick up your mobile, only to discover it's just another cyborg bothering you about selling insurance — may I suggest you set specific rings for your closest contacts.

Apple's Measure app has saved you a lot of times. It's super simple to use — just point the camera at the object you want to measure and it superimposes a yellow dot that you tap at each end of the item concerned, and it provides you with an instant calculation in centimeters.21.

Who Knew My Phone Could Do That!BA medical team at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore performed an operation that successfully transplanted(移植)a pig heart into a human patient It’s the first such operation of its kind. The team reported that the 57-year-old patient, David Bennett, was recovering well three days after receiving the pig heart. Bennett’s doctors said he was breathing on his own while still connected to a heart-lung machine to help his new heart. Doctors say the next few weeks will be a decisive period to see how Bennett does with the new organ and whether his body begins to reject it. But the operation marks a new step in years of research to find ways to use animal organs for life-saving transplants for humans.Bennett’s son said his father’s heart was failing and he hadn’t been able to get approved for a human heart transplant. So, he agreed to the experimental operation even though he knew there was no guarantee that it would work. Past attempts at pig-to-human transplants have failed because of genetic (基因的)differences that caused organ rejection. To reduce such risk, scientists removed several genes from the donor pig that are linked with organ rejection. They also removed another gene from the animal in an effort to prevent too much growth of pig heart tissue. On the morning of the operation, the transplant team removed the pig heart and placed it into a special device to keep it running until the operation. The transplant was permitted after the university received emergency approval from the US Food and Drug Administration. Dr. Bartley Griffith led the operation. He called it a breakthrough. He said, “At present there are about 110, 000 Americans waiting for an organ transplant. More than 6, 000 patients die each year before getting one. If this works, there will be an endless supply of these organs for patients who are suffering.”24. How was David Bennett three days after the operation?A. He was still unconscious.B. He had great difficulty breathing.C. His new heart couldn’t function well alone.D His recovery was slower than expected.25. Why did Bennett accept the experimental operation?A. Because he had no other choice.B. Because he was ensured of its safety.C. Because he had no money for a human heart transplant.D. Because he thought it was beneficial to technology progress.26. What’s the purpose of removing several genes from the donor pig?A. To reduce the difficulty of the heart transplant.B. To make the pig heart fit in better with Bennett.C. To improve the health condition of the pig heart.D. To enable the pig heart to keep working after being removed.27 The figures listed in the last paragraph are mainly to show________.A. the deadliness of organ diseases in the USB. the maturity of organ transplants in the USC. the seriousness of organ shortage in the USD. the necessity of organ transplants in the USCFlowing through winding streets of London were smells, so common during the Great Plague (瘟疫) of the 17th century that they almost meant the plague itself, historians said. For hundreds of years, people believed that disease was spread not through tiny drops or insect bites, but through taking in unpleasant smells. To purify the air around them, they would burn rosemary and hot tar.Now, as the world faces another widespread outbreak, a team of historians and scientists from six European countries is seeking to identify and categorize the most common smells of daily life across Europe from the 16th century to the early 20th century and to study what changes in smells over time reveal about society.The project will search through more than 250,000 images and thousands of texts, including medical textbooks, novels and magazines in seven languages. Researchers will use machine learning and AI to analyze references to smells. Once they are cataloged, researchers, working with chemists and perfumers, will re-create roughly 120 smells with the hope that museums will incorporate some of them into exhibits to make visits more immersive (沉浸式的) or memorable to museum-goers. The use of smells in exhibits could also make museums more accessible for blind people and those with limited sight, historians said.“With smell, you can open up questions about national culture, global culture and differences between communities,” said Dr. Inger Leemans, a professor of cultural history at Vrije University Amsterdam. He said that introducing smells into museums or classrooms leads people to open up in discussions in ways they do not always do when discussing other issiues of national identity. “It is such an open topic and what we want to do is think about how we can bring history to the nose.”28. What does the writer intend to do by Paragraph 1?A. Introduce the topic. B. Put forward his argument.C. Voice his opinion. D. Offer detailed information.29. Why does the team carry out the project?A. To study the effects of smells. B. To develop a cure for plagues.C. To find out the causes of disease. D. To help us learn about the past.30. What does the underlined word “incorporate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Include. B. Break. C. Change. D. Create.31. What’s Dr. Inger Leemans’ attitude towards the project?A. Sceptical. B. Ambiguous. C. Supportive. D. Negative.DWhile the increase in the number of unemployed Americans has been a focus of economists throughout the pandemic, another problem has been mostly overlooked: The people that do have jobs are calling out sick in record numbers.Unlike the jobless rate, which has declined noticeably, the rate of absenteeism (旷工) has remained stubbornly high. More than 1.9 million people missed work in December, according to Labor Department data. Michael Gapen, chief US economist, says although vaccinations could start driving down absenteeism, the missed work is causing supply chain problems. “Absenteeism could lead to shortages; it could lead to higher prices and more limited output,” he says.The problem is so acute that companies are lobbying local authorities to get their workers near the front of the line for vaccinations. “There are instances of having to shut down lines at various points in time in order to manage the absenteeism,” says Geoff Freeman, a chief executive officer.According to the Institute for Supply Management, factory activities increased in December, with the employment returning to a level that indicates growth. However, one complaint is that suppliers are still struggling with their own employee shortages, which is causing supply problems. “The quantity of infections and the quantity of people who are sick or having to self-quarantine (自我隔离) are just so overwhelming that everybody has to be affected by it,” Timothy Fiore, said on a Jan. 5 call with reporters. For office workers, 90% of professionals said before the pandemic they'd sometimes go to work sick. COVID-19, however, contributes to the fact that more employees are staying home to protect themselves and others. “We know when the absenteeism will end, and that's when we get the vaccine in people's arms,” says a manager. But a lack of federal leadership means “this is the Wild West right now, and we see the results of that.”32 What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about absenteeism?A. Its root causes. B. Its major consequences.C. Its future development. D. Its economic values.33. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “lobbying” in paragraph 3?A. Persuading. B. Cheating.C. Informing. D. Predicting.34. What can we say about America’s absent workers?A. They complain about their working conditions.B. They call out sick because of their mental pressure.C. They struggle with the supply shortages.D. They are largely impacted by the pandemic.35. What can be inferred from the text?A. There are more jobless workers than the absent ones.B. Supply chain problems are causing absenteeism.C. All people aren’t satisfied with the federal government.D. Workers won’t return to work even if they are vaccinated.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)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。No matter what profession or occupation you hold you will need to work with others to meet your goals.

Dear Peter，Last month was my school’s “Reading Month”, which required every student at my school to read at least on classic book during the month.At the end of the month, students would gather in groups and discuss the books they read. It was a great time to learn more knowledge, cultivate our reading interest, and exchange different opinions with each other. I finally had the time to finish The Little Prince, written by the French author Antoine de Saint-Exupery. It tells the story of a boy from space who travels around the universe to meet people of every background. He views each world through his innocent eyes. The words of wisdom in the book, such as “One sees clearly only with the heart”, touched me deeply.     Looking back, I really enjoyed the adventure with the little prince, all thanks to this “Reading Month”.Yours，Li Jin
