But for Chase Burton, a deaf filmmaker, music has always been a different experience.“When I was a kid, I'd lie on the floor above our garage so that I could feel the vibrations （震动）from my brother's band rocking out below my body. That was one of the first times I began building a relationship with music,“ said Burton.In 2021, his ability to experience music changed totally, thanks to the California - based technology company Not Impossible Labs. It designed a vibrating suit that enables deaf people to “ffeel“ music through their skin. The suit can translate audio into a range of vibrating pulses （脉7中）that are felt at 24 contact points. Burton has been wearing the suit fbr four years. "The sound drubs different parts of my body,“ said Burton. "Maybe it will strike me in my ankles first. And then I'll start to feel the vibrations in my back and wrists.The creators want to extend the musical experience beyond the deaf community. In 2021, they gave out 150 vibrating suits at a rock concert where half the audience members were deaf and half could hear. Since then, the creators have been working to improve the technology and want the suit to become a consumer product accessible to all, which will be used in live sports broadcasts, or video games.As a writer and director, Burton has been working to make the movie world more inclusive. For his latest movie he hired all-deaf staff and actors. Burton hopes that the vibrating suits will be available to his film audiences in the future. He believes that the suits can improve emotions while people are watching a movie for normal people as well as the deaf. "I see the tech as a real opportunity to help people understand that music or movies don't always need to be enjoyed through the ears/' said Burton.24.

Vibrating Suits Allow Deaf People to Feel MusicCTo give a tip or not? If so, how much? They can be headaches even for the most experienced tourists. This week, the main political parties in the UK have finally come to rescue by passing laws to forbid bars and restaurants taking tips from the customers.However, not every country in the world takes the matter as seriously as the British, who are believed to have invented the custom in the 17th century - originally as a noble practice of giving small gifts to the so-called "inferior （低等的）classes” . Later, tipping has become a habit widely accepted in the world, although it is influenced by a nation's culture and values.A common joke among Americans is that only getting tax return is more confusing than tipping. Tips were imported into the country in the 19th century, when wealthy Americans began travelling to Europe. The custom was originally disapproved in the US. Critics accused tippers of creating a class of people who “begged for favors” . Fast forward to the 21st century and you will still find Americans debating the pros and cons. But tipping is now entirely ingrained （根深蒂固的）in the national soul.Like many Asian countries, China is largely a no-tipping culture for decades it was actually prohibited and considered illegal. To this day, it remains relatively uncommon.Japan's complex manner system includes tipping. It is socially acceptable on special occasions such as weddings, but on the other occasions, it can actually make the receiver feel ashamed, if not abused. Even on occasions where tips are expected,the money is expected to be sealed in special envelopes as a sign of gratitude and respect. Otherwise, it will be refused because tips are usually included in the payment for the service.28. What's the original purpose of tipping?A. To please the ordinary people.B. To praise people's good deeds.C. To indicate people's thanks to the poor.D. To show noble kindness to the lower class.29 . What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean?A. Americans are used to giving tips.B. It is quite normal to tip in America.C. Tipping is very complex in the US.D. Getting tax return is simpler than tipping. 30. What can be inferred about tipping in Asia?A. Tips are totally forbidden in China.B. Tipping will become popular very soon.C. Good services should be put before tips.D. Tips can be accepted for special celebrations. 31. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. LawB. CultureC. EconomyD. TourismDThe term “Metaverse“ is the latest buzzword （流行语）to capture the tech industry's imagination - so much so that one of the best-known internet platforms is rebranding to signal is embrace of the futuristic idea.Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's announcement that he's changing his company's name to Meta Platforms Inc. might be the biggest thing to happen to the metaverse since science fiction writer Neal Stephenson coined the term for his 1992 novel "Snow Crash. But Zuckerberg and his team are hardly the only tech visionaries with ideas on how the metaverse, which will employ a mix of virtual reality and other technologies, should take shape.What is the metaverse? Zuckerberg has described it as a "virtual environment，z you can go inside of instead of just looking at on a screen. Essentially, it's a world of endless, interconnected virtual communities where people can meet, work and play, using virtual reality headsets and glasses, smartphone or other devices. The metaverse also could be a game -changer for the work-from-home shift amid the coronavirus pandemic. Instead of seeing co-workers on a video call, employees could join them in a virtual office.Zuckerberg's embrace of the metaverse in some ways goes against a central tenet （信条）of its biggest enthusiasts（狂热1 粉丝）.They consider the metaverse as online culture's liberation from tech platforms like Facebook that assumed ownership of people's accounts, photos, posts and traded off what they collected from that data. "We want to be able to move around the Internet with ease, but we also want to be able to move around the Internet in a way we're not tracked and monitored/* said Steve Jang, who focuses on ciyptocurrency （数字货币） technology. There is a growing concern about Facebook trying to lead the way into a virtual world that could require even more personal data and offer greater potential fbr abuse and misinformation when it hasn't fixed those problems in its current platforms.32. Why is Zuckerberg changing the name of his company?A. Because he plans to quit his present business.B. Because he has founded the metaverse.C. Because he will participate in the metaverse.D. Because he wants to draw public attention. 33. What can people do in the Metaverse?A. Do everything in the real world.B. Have meetings in the virtual office.C. Defeat the pandemic.D. See co-workers on a video-call.34 . What can be inferred about the central belief of Metaverse fans?A. Users should be responsible for their personal data. B. Cryptocurrency technology should be monitored. C. Tech platforms should possess users' data.D. The Metaverse should be tracked.35 . What do some people think of Zuckerberg9 s decision?A. Facebook will gain people's trust.B. Facebook may not abuse information.C. Facebook may not play a good leading role.D. Facebook will make the Internet a better world. 第二节（共5小题；每题2.5分，总分值125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正确选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Collecting rainwater is important.
