However, this wonderful natural wonder is currently in danger.Thousands of fires have broken out in Brazil, endangering much of the rainforest. These blazes have lasted several weeks and are believed to be the “most intense” in almost a decade, according to BBC News.The Amazon has seen a large number of fires in 2019.

His group has invented a new way for deaf-blind people to “watch” TV. The idea for the technology grew out of previous work by his group. The team had already worked on making audiovisual(视听的) materials accessible to people with either vision or hearing disabilities. But the group wanted to help people with both challenges. So they asked some deaf-blind people what would help.In addition to relying on their sense of touch to communicate, deaf-blind people can also get and send information with a Braille line. The Braille system uses patterns of raised dots to stand for letters and numbers. A Braille line is an electronic machine with a changeable Braille display. Dots rise up or drop down based on the information sent to the machine.Now the new system changes TV signals to data a Braille line can use. “The key to the system is the possibility of using subtitles(字幕) to collect TV information, ” Garcia Crespo explains. “Subtitles travel with the image(影像) and the audio in electromagnetic waves we dont see. But an electronic system can keep those waves. ”First, a computer program, or app, pulls out the subtitles and visual descriptions from the broadcast signal. The system then combines the information and changes both into data for Braille.Now another app gets to work, which sends the data out to peoples Braille lines on demand. “This is done in real time, in less than a second,” Garcia Crespo says. This lets a deaf-blind person “watch” TV as its broadcast. The system will work with various Braille lines, as long as theres a bluetooth connection available. Now, the system is only used in Europe, and it should soon be available in the US.32. What inspired Garcia Crespos group to work on the new technology?A. Deaf-blind peoples poor life.B. Their pity on the disabled people.C. The challenges they face in work.D. Their groups previous research.33. Why can the electronic system collect TV information?A. It can combine all kinds of broadcast signals.B. It can keep the waves with subtitles traveling.C. It can work together with a variety of Braille lines.D. It can pull out the subtitles and visual descriptions.34. What does the author think of the future of the new technology?A. Challenging.B. Bright.C. Rewarding.D. Hopeless.35. What should be a suitable title for the text?A. New Technology Is Improving Deaf-blind Peoples LifeB. A New Braille Line Is Applied to Disabled Peoples LifeC. A Spanish Group Makes TV Accessible to Blind PeopleD. New Technology Helps Deaf-blind People “Watch” TV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项。Voluntourism New Trend in Travel【辽宁省沈阳市郊联体2019届高三第一次模拟考试英语试题】Volunteering to help people in need combined with travelling to faraway places is a new trend in the travel industry.
