阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

According to a report by the World Health Organization, there are currently 285 million people in
the world who are visually disadvantaged. Among those 39 million people are blind whereas 246
million people are living with low vision of some kind. Accessibility options can be improved with a
simple walking stick, but life is still full of obstacles (障碍) for those people.
To help this visually-challenged population, Chandigarh University’s student Lovelesh Dutt has
developed a smart stick which helps them with their day-to-day activities, ensuring that their visual
problem doesn’t prevent them from living a life of joy.
Based on artificial intelligence, the smart stick has a number of features. For example, if any kind
of object or animal or even human comes in the way of the user, then the stick. will generate a warning
sound, besides producing vibrations ( 震动 ), making the user aware of the object coming in front of
them.
Dutt explains that the AI-based smart stick is connected to the GPS system, which provides
information about the location of the user to their family. Besides, the stick draws its power from the
sun with the help of a solar panel mounted on it, thus removing the problem of charging it.
“The stick has an inbuilt emergency SOS network. In case of any emergency, the user can press the
button on the stick, which will automatically send an SOS message to the police and family members
along with the location of the user. Also, if anyone tries to harm the user, the inbuilt device at the
bottom of the stick will give a shock of 400 kv to the offender, allowing the blind person to protect
themselves,” he says.
There is more to Dutt than just the smart stick. With exceptional performance in the field of
research and innovation, Dutt is providing free technology and research education to poor children.
Furthermore, his work towards women’s safety and self-reliance is leading the charge for a safer
society for women.

C．The causes of their problem. D．The need to improve their well-being.
22．What does the device at the bottom of the stick function as?
A．A self-defensive weapon. B．A charging port. C．An alarm network. D．A GPS system.
23．What sort of student is Dutt according to the last paragraph?
A．Self-reliant. B．Business-talented. C．Socially responsible. D ．Environmentally
focused.

Fashion designers are always looking for new materials to work with. Lately, it’s all about
environment-friendly materials -- recycled tires, mushrooms, even pineapple fibers! What if you want
such a pair of shoes? Thaely is here to help.
This sneaker brand out of Dubai wants to fight the growing problem of plastic pollution. Led by
23-year-old Indian businessman Ashay Bhave, they may have found a winning approach: making shoes
out of plastic grocery bags. “Thaely” means “plastic bag” in the Hindi language.
“I was looking to create footwear that is cost-effective and safe for the environment,” Bhave said in
an interview with a newspaper. “I needed to come up with something that uses recycled plastic without
creating any more plastic waste. ”Plastic bags were the perfect solution. He said five trillion plastic
bags are used around the world each year. “I was motivated to find a solution to this problem,” Bhave
said.
That solution was the fiber called ThaelyTex. Made entirely from plastic bags, the material looks
and feels like leather. That sounds promising. Better yet, the production process requires no additional
chemicals and produces no poisonous by-products. The result is a smart-looking pair of white low-top
sneakers.
Bhave wouldn’t expose the full process for making ThaelyTex, but he said that each pair of shoes
was made from up to 15 plastic bags and 22 plastic bottles. Where do they get the materials? Bhave
told Elle that was the hardest part. “The biggest challenge we faced was right at the first step of
acquiring the plastic bags. ”
Finally, they got help from TrioTap Technologies, a waste management plant. Bhave said they
offered to collect the bags and also process them into ThaelyTex.
So far, it seems like things are falling into place. There are already hundreds of pre-orders in place.
It sounds like they have some plans for the future. “We have a few more colors coming up,” said
