Velcro is a hook-and-loop (粘扣的) device that is commonly found on a wide range of products, such as shoes, jackets, and a lot of other equipment in offices, kitchens, and garages. It’s also the name of the company that originally created the “thing”generally known as Velcro.
George de Mestral, a Swiss electrical engineer, is the inventor of Velcro. How he came to the idea of actually making this thing that we call Velcro is a truly incredible story.
One fine morning in 1948, Mestral went for a walk with his dog. After returning from the walk, he found that some seeds got stuck to the dog’s fur. However, the man’s attention was turned to his own trousers, where many similar seeds were also attached.
Upon closer examination, he noticed that there were many small hooks in the seeds that stuck firmly to the loops in the fabric of his trousers. The first idea for what would eventually become Velcro struck him like lightning. If he could artificially recreate the same thing, by making pairs of hooks-and-loops that stick to each other firmly, then there would be almost no need to tie things up all the time to secure them, nor would zippers, which were quite popular in those days, be necessary any longer. He decided to call the product he formed Velcro.
Like many inventions, Velcro also faced a great deal of criticism,but Mestral stood by his design and continued to make structural changes to enhance its bonding strength. He worked with a Frenchmah to come up with a perfect hook-and-loop device. Mestral patented Velcro in 1955.
Velcro didn’t do very well initially; much of that was due to its lack of aesthetic appeal. It came in dull colors and often looked quite “unattractive”. But soon, even NASA helped to boost Velcro’s image by using it in a lot of equipment that went into space along with astronauts.
4. What can we know about Velcro according to the passage
A. It’s been replaced by zippers.
B. It’s a nature-inspired product.
C. It’s an established shoe brand.
D. It’s a hook commonly used in offices.
5. Which of the following best describes George de Mestral
A. Talented. B. Considerate. C. Sympathetic. D. Innovative.
6. How did the public originally react to Velcro
A. They were critical of it.
B. They paid no attention to it.
C. They thought of it as a practical item.
D. They were dissatisfied with its function.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. A controversial device. B. A brilliant creation.
C. An unexpected discovery. D. An unforgettable experience.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】

C
As I walked into the George Eastman Museum’s Dryden Theater, I felt as though I had stepped into a time machine. On the way to the traditional, old-timey box office, tons of vintage (复古的) movie posters and the theater entrance made me feel like I was on Broadway. As everyone took their seats, an older gentleman who looked like he walked straight out of the 1920s gave the attendees a historical background of the film we were seeing — The Barker.
The film itself, which was released in 1928, is considered a “part-talkie”. Before films included synchronized (同步的) sound, films were played with live accompaniment and contained subtitles to add context. With the invention of synchronized sound, films slowly added talking dialogue in scenes throughout the film; these films were considered “part-talkies”.
The Barker, which explores the lives of carnival workers, is the talking debut (首次登场) of all of the main cast. The film was revolutionary not only for the technology but also for the actors. My film experience consists of mostly talkies, so when I finished The Barker, I felt like I witnessed something brand new for the first time.
The experience I had at Dryden Theater was unlike any movie-going experience I had ever had. The music, the film, and the atmosphere itself were completely unique! Since viewing films has gradually been switched to streaming services, especially since the pandemic, this has both increased the accessibility of films and stripped us of reliance on a social experience to watch a movie — one that attending The Barker reminded me of.
“Barbenheimer”, a phenomenon that contrasts the obvious differences in the recently released movies Barbie and Oppenheimer, allowed us to return to the movie-going adventure. Finally, everyone wanted big screens and surround sound rather than the tiny screens in bedrooms. More importantly, we were all able to interact with a piece of content alongside other people. “Barbenheimer” brought back the pastime of going to the cinema — one that I think we should continue to engage in. I say we take a page out of the 1920s playbook and return to the cinema.
8. Who made the audience of The Barker know better about its background
A. A star who was cast in the movie.
B. A man who had a look of the past.
C. A staff member working at the box office.
D. A gentleman walking from the last century.
9. Which of the following is true of “part-talkies”
A. The Barker is a “part-talkie”.
B. “Part-talkies” are totally silent.
C. “Part-talkies” involve live accompaniment.
D. The films before The Barker are “part-talkies”.
10. What does the underlined word “stripped” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Accused. B. Informed. C. Robbed. D. Warned.
11. What does the author suggest
A. Watching movies at home.
B. Seeing the film The Barker.
C. Having more big screen experiences.
D. Interacting more with people around us.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者分享了自己去影院观看电影《列兵巴克》的经历，音乐、电影和氛围都带来了独一无二的体验。作者认为在这样的流媒体时代，影院仍然可以给观众带来独特的观影体验，有益于与电影互动，我们应当去影院看电影，拥有大屏幕的体验。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“As everyone took their seats, an older gentleman who looked like he walked straight out of the 1920s gave the attendees a historical background of the film we were seeing — The Barker. (当大家落座时，一位看起来像是直接从20世纪20年代走出来的老先生给在场的人介绍了我们正在看的电影《列兵巴克》的历史背景)”可知，这位看上去来自过去的老先生让这部电影的观众更好地了解了它的背景。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The film itself, which was released in 1928, is considered a “part-talkie”. (这部电影于1928年上映，被认为是一部“半有声电影”)”可知，《列兵巴克》是一部半有声电影。故选A项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Since viewing films has gradually been switched to streaming services, especially since the pandemic, this has both increased the accessibility of films (自从观看电影逐渐转向流媒体服务，特别是自疫情以来，这既增加了电影的可及性)”和下文“reliance on a social experience to watch a movie — one that attending The Barker reminded me of (依靠一种社交体验来看电影——看《列兵巴克》让我想起了这一点)”可推知，通过流媒体观看电影逐渐流行，既会让电影更加可及，也会导致去影院看电影的机会减少，人们会失去在影院看电影的那种社交体验，strip sb. of意思应该是“剥夺某人的……，使某人失去……”，strip意思与rob相近。故选C项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“More importantly, we were all able to interact with a piece of content alongside other people. “Barbenheimer” brought back the pastime of going to the cinema — one that I think we should continue to engage in. I say we take a page out of the 1920s playbook and return to the cinema. (更重要的是，我们都能够与其他人一起与内容进行互动。“芭本海默”使去电影院消遣重新流行起来——我认为我们应该继续这样做。我建议我们借鉴20世纪20年代的剧本，回到影院)”可知，作者认为在影院观看电影有益于与电影内容的互动，建议大家回到影院，拥有更多的大屏幕体验。故选C项。
D
Birds rely on their keen sense of hearing to detect prey (猎物) and identify other birds on the basis of their songs. In fact, birds have better hearing than humans, so they hear with much more detail. So how do birds hear
Birds and humans both have an inner ear and a middle ear. However, birds differ from humans in that they lack an external ear structure. Where humans have an outer ear organ, birds have a funnel-shaped opening that functions as their outer ear, located on each side of their head. These openings are usually positioned behind and slightly below a bird’s eyes and are protected by soft feathers.
The position of a bird’s head also plays a role in its hearing abilities. Scientists have determined that noises register at different frequencies on each side of the bird’s head. Depending on the angle from which the noise originates, it registers with a certain frequency in the left eardrum but with a different frequency in the right eardrum. This allows the bird to locate a sound’s origin.
For example, owls are known for their extremely accurate hearing, which helps them locate prey at night. This hearing ability is due in part to the unbalanced arrangement of the ear openings, with one opening being lower than the other. Sounds register in these openings at slightly different times. Owls can use this time difference, which is only 30 millionths of a second, to determine whether the sounds are coming from their left or their right. Other birds of prey have flaps in front of their ears that help them determine whether sounds are coming from above them or below them. Some owls do appear to have ears on the top of their head, but those are actually feathers controlled by small muscles under the skin that do not affect their hearing at all.
12. What is the difference between birds and humans according to paragraph 2
A. Ears’ structure. B. Ears’ function.
C. Ears’ position. D. Ears’ sensitivity.
13. What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 3 probably refer to
A. The angle of noise sources.
B. The bird’s unique ear structure.
C. The intensity of the sound around the bird.
D. The difference in frequencies between the eardrums.
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The flaps of birds of prey have little impact on their hearing.
B. Owls determine the direction of sound based on their feathers.
C Different birds have varying abilities to judge the direction of sound.
D. Many birds have unbalanced positions of the ear openings besides owls.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A The Secret of Owls’ Hearing B. Special Ear Structure of Birds
C. Different Hearing Systems of Birds D. Remarkable Hearing Abilities of Birds
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章解释了鸟类为什么有卓越的听力，并举例猫头鹰以其极其准确的听觉而闻名。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Birds and humans both have an inner ear and a middle ear. However, birds differ from humans in that they lack an external ear structure. Where humans have an outer ear organ, birds have a funnel-shaped opening that functions as their outer ear, located on each side of their head. These openings are usually positioned behind and slightly below a bird’s eyes and are protected by soft feathers.(鸟类和人类都有内耳和中耳。然而，鸟类与人类的不同之处在于它们没有外耳结构。人类有一个外耳器官，而鸟类则有一个漏斗状的开口，位于头部的两侧，起到外耳的作用。这些开口通常位于鸟类眼睛的后面和略下，由柔软的羽毛保护。)”可知，鸟类与人类的不同之处在于外耳结构。故选A。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题，根据第三段“Scientists have determined that noises register at different frequencies on each side of the bird’s head. Depending on the angle from which the noise originates, it registers with a certain frequency in the left eardrum but with a different frequency in the right eardrum. This allows the bird to locate a sound’s origin.(科学家们已经确定，噪音在鸟头的两侧以不同的频率记录。根据噪音产生的角度，它在左鼓膜以一定的频率记录，但在右鼓膜以不同的频率记录。这使鸟能够定位声音的来源。)”可知，鸟能够定位声音的来源是因为左鼓膜和右鼓膜有不同的频率记录。代词this指代耳膜之间的频率差异。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“For example, owls are known for their extremely accurate hearing, which helps them locate prey at night. This hearing ability is due in part to the unbalanced arrangement of the ear openings, with one opening being lower than the other. Sounds register in these openings at slightly different times. Owls can use this time difference, which is only 30 millionths of a second, to determine whether the sounds are coming from their left or their right. Other birds of prey have flaps in front of their ears that help them determine whether sounds are coming from above them or below them. Some owls do appear to have ears on the top of their head, but those are actually feathers controlled by small muscles under the skin that do not affect their hearing at all.(例如，猫头鹰以其极其准确的听觉而闻名，这有助于它们在夜间定位猎物。这种听力能力部分是由于耳孔的不平衡安排，一个开口比另一个低。声音在这些开口出现的时间略有不同。猫头鹰可以利用这种只有千万分之三秒的时间差来确定声音是从它们的左边还是右边传来的。其他猛禽的耳朵前有扇形，可以帮助它们判断声音是从上面还是下面传来的。有些猫头鹰的耳朵看起来确实长在头顶上，但实际上是由皮肤下的小肌肉控制的羽毛，根本不影响它们的听力。)”可知，不同的鸟类判断声音方向的能力不同。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Birds rely on their keen sense of hearing to detect prey (猎物) and identify other birds on the basis of their songs. In fact, birds have better hearing than humans, so they hear with much more detail. So how do birds hear (鸟类依靠它们敏锐的听觉来探测猎物，并根据它们的歌声来识别其他鸟类。事实上，鸟类的听力比人类好，所以它们能听到更多的细节。那么鸟类是怎么听到声音的呢？)”可知，本文主要讲述了鸟类为什么有卓越的听力，D项“鸟类卓越的听力”适合做最佳标题。故选D。
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。
With climate change continuing to worsen, our situation is beginning to feel increasingly serious.____16____Is it right Maybe not.
Techno-optimism can be defined as a belief that future technologies will solve all of our current problems. This definition reinforces (强化) the idea that there’s no reason to panic or change our current energy-intensive (能源集中型) lifestyle. All society needs to do is look to green technology to work its magic. ____17____
One of the best examples of this optimistic misconception is the electric car. Despite being highly regarded as an eco-friendly way to get around, electric cars are not the end for the future of transport. Batteries in electric cars use chemical elements which we could be seeing a shortage of by mid-century.____18____Techno-optimism has led many to believe that if everyone just switched to driving electric vehicles, we would be making incredible steps towards sustainability. However, the reality is that the amount of resources and energy needed to produce enough electric vehicles for everyone is not even remotely sustainable.
____19____Investing in public transportation and moving away from individually owned vehicles. Producing fewer cars. Improving recycling practices of old batteries. The solutions we seek should not be rooted in new technology, but be about changing the way our society functions.
Techno-optimism puts too much emphasis on technology and not enough on what we can do right this minute. Unfortunately, people seem to like the picture that techno-optimism paints. ____20____Until we are ready to face the need for a less complex life, we cannot make true progress towards sustainability.
A. People used to fall into this trap.
B. So where should we look for answers instead
C. The modern world’s simple solution is technology.
D. Moreover, they are more energy-intensive to produce.
E. Unfortunately, this is an incredibly dangerous opinion to hold.
F. There is no doubt that we are heading towards a greener future.
G. Nevertheless, the truth is, we need a widespread change in our lifestyles.
【答案】16. C 17. E 18. D 19. B 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出“技术乐观主义”试图用技术解决当前的气候问题，作者用电动汽车的例子来证明这种想法似乎是没用的。改变我们的社会运作方式，以及人们的生活方式才是解决问题的关键所在。
【16题详解】
根据上文“With climate change continuing to worsen, our situation is beginning to feel increasingly serious.(随着气候变化的持续恶化，我们的情况开始变得越来越严重)”可知，气候问题持续恶化，人类的情况开始变得越来越严重。由此推知，人类可能会采取解决气候问题的办法。结合下文“Techno-optimism can be defined as a belief that future technologies will solve all of our current problems. This definition reinforces (强化) the idea that there’s no reason to panic or change our current energy-intensive (能源集中型) lifestyle. (当谈到确保我们未来的解决方案时，技术乐观主义是最大的误解之一。这个定义强化了一种观点，即没有理由恐慌或改变我们目前的能源密集型生活方式)”可知，人们试图依靠技术来解决气候问题。C项“现代世界的简单解决方案就是技术”符合题意。故选C。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Techno-optimism can be defined as a belief that future technologies will solve all of our current problems. This definition reinforces (强化) the idea that there’s no reason to panic or change our current energy-intensive (能源集中型) lifestyle. All society needs to do is look to green technology to work its magic.(技术乐观主义可以定义为相信未来的技术将解决我们当前的所有问题。这个定义强化了一种观点，即没有理由恐慌或改变我们目前的能源密集型生活方式。社会所需要做的就是期待绿色科技发挥它的魔力)”可知，上文提到了“没有理由恐慌或改变我们当前的能源密集型生活方式”这种观点，由此推知，下文应对这种观点进行评价。E项“不幸的是，这是一个极其危险的观点”符合题意。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据上文“One of the best examples of this optimistic misconception is the electric car. Despite being highly regarded as an eco-friendly way to get around, electric cars are not the end for the future of transport. Batteries in electric cars use chemical elements which we could be seeing a shortage of by mid-century.(这种乐观误解的最好例子之一就是电动汽车。尽管电动汽车被认为是一种环保的出行方式，但它并不是未来交通工具的终结。电动汽车的电池使用的化学元素到本世纪中叶可能会短缺)”可知，上文提到了电动汽车的弊端。结合本段主要谈论“乐观误解”推知，空处应继续对电动汽车的弊端进行陈述。D项“此外，它们的生产更耗能”符合题意。故选D。
【19题详解】
根据下文“Investing in public transportation and moving away from individually owned vehicles. Producing fewer cars. Improving recycling practices of old batteries. The solutions we seek should not be rooted in new technology, but be about changing the way our society functions.(投资公共交通，远离个人拥有的车辆。生产更少的汽车，改善旧电池的回收利用做法。我们寻求的解决方案不应该植根于新技术，而应该改变我们社会的运作方式)”可知，作者认为我们应该改变社会的运作方式，这才是解决气候问题的办法。B项“那么，我们应该在哪里寻找答案呢？”符合题意，引出本段内容，下文是对该问题的回答。故选B。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Techno-optimism puts too much emphasis on technology and not enough on what we can do right this minute. Unfortunately, people seem to like the picture that techno-optimism paints.(技术乐观主义过于强调技术，而对我们现在能做事情却不够重视。不幸的是，人们似乎喜欢技术乐观主义所描绘的画面)”和下文“Until we are ready to face the need for a less complex life, we cannot make true progress towards sustainability.(除非我们准备好面对不那么复杂的生活的需要，否则我们无法在可持续发展方面取得真正的进展)”可知，人们似乎更喜欢依靠技术解决问题，当我们把技术视为当前的环保生活方式时，问题就开始了。由此可知，要解决气候问题，不能只依靠技术，关键是要从很大程度上改变我们的生活方式。G项“然而，事实是，我们需要广泛改变我们的生活方式”符合题意。故选G。

I then travelled to Rome, but stayed there for a week visiting some of the wonderful art gallery, churches and museums. From there I fly to Athens, Greece, and took a boat to a small Greek island.

Velcro is a hook-and-loop (粘扣的) device that is commonly found on a wide range of products, such as shoes, jackets, and a lot of other equipment in offices, kitchens, and garages. It’s also the name of the company that originally created the “thing”generally known as Velcro.
George de Mestral, a Swiss electrical engineer, is the inventor of Velcro. How he came to the idea of actually making this thing that we call Velcro is a truly incredible story.
One fine morning in 1948, Mestral went for a walk with his dog. After returning from the walk, he found that some seeds got stuck to the dog’s fur. However, the man’s attention was turned to his own trousers, where many similar seeds were also attached.
Upon closer examination, he noticed that there were many small hooks in the seeds that stuck firmly to the loops in the fabric of his trousers. The first idea for what would eventually become Velcro struck him like lightning. If he could artificially recreate the same thing, by making pairs of hooks-and-loops that stick to each other firmly, then there would be almost no need to tie things up all the time to secure them, nor would zippers, which were quite popular in those days, be necessary any longer. He decided to call the product he formed Velcro.
Like many inventions, Velcro also faced a great deal of criticism,but Mestral stood by his design and continued to make structural changes to enhance its bonding strength. He worked with a Frenchmah to come up with a perfect hook-and-loop device. Mestral patented Velcro in 1955.
Velcro didn’t do very well initially; much of that was due to its lack of aesthetic appeal. It came in dull colors and often looked quite “unattractive”. But soon, even NASA helped to boost Velcro’s image by using it in a lot of equipment that went into space along with astronauts.
4. What can we know about Velcro according to the passage
A. It’s been replaced by zippers.
B. It’s a nature-inspired product.
C. It’s an established shoe brand.
D. It’s a hook commonly used in offices.
5. Which of the following best describes George de Mestral
A. Talented. B. Considerate. C. Sympathetic. D. Innovative.
6. How did the public originally react to Velcro

As I walked into the George Eastman Museum’s Dryden Theater, I felt as though I had stepped into a time machine. On the way to the traditional, old-timey box office, tons of vintage (复古的) movie posters and the theater entrance made me feel like I was on Broadway. As everyone took their seats, an older gentleman who looked like he walked straight out of the 1920s gave the attendees a historical background of the film we were seeing — The Barker.
The film itself, which was released in 1928, is considered a “part-talkie”. Before films included synchronized (同步的) sound, films were played with live accompaniment and contained subtitles to add context. With the invention of synchronized sound, films slowly added talking dialogue in scenes throughout the film; these films were considered “part-talkies”.
The Barker, which explores the lives of carnival workers, is the talking debut (首次登场) of all of the main cast. The film was revolutionary not only for the technology but also for the actors. My film experience consists of mostly talkies, so when I finished The Barker, I felt like I witnessed something brand new for the first time.
The experience I had at Dryden Theater was unlike any movie-going experience I had ever had. The music, the film, and the atmosphere itself were completely unique! Since viewing films has gradually been switched to streaming services, especially since the pandemic, this has both increased the accessibility of films and stripped us of reliance on a social experience to watch a movie — one that attending The Barker reminded me of.
“Barbenheimer”, a phenomenon that contrasts the obvious differences in the recently released movies Barbie and Oppenheimer, allowed us to return to the movie-going adventure. Finally, everyone wanted big screens and surround sound rather than the tiny screens in bedrooms. More importantly, we were all able to interact with a piece of content alongside other people. “Barbenheimer” brought back the pastime of going to the cinema — one that I think we should continue to engage in. I say we take a page out of the 1920s playbook and return to the cinema.
8. Who made the audience of The Barker know better about its background
A. A star who was cast in the movie.
B. A man who had a look of the past.
C A staff member working at the box office.
D. A gentleman walking from the last century.
9. Which of the following is true of “part-talkies”
A. The Barker is a “part-talkie”.
B. “Part-talkies” are totally silent.
C. “Part-talkies” involve live accompaniment.
D. The films before The Barker are “part-talkies”.
10. What does the underlined word “stripped” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Accused. B. Informed. C. Robbed. D. Warned.
11. What does the author suggest
A. Watching movies at home.
B. Seeing the film The Barker.
C. Having more big screen experiences.
D. Interacting more with people around us.
D
Birds rely on their keen sense of hearing to detect prey (猎物) and identify other birds on the basis of their songs. In fact, birds have better hearing than humans, so they hear with much more detail. So how do birds hear
Birds and humans both have an inner ear and a middle ear. However, birds differ from humans in that they lack an external ear structure. Where humans have an outer ear organ, birds have a funnel-shaped opening that functions as their outer ear, located on each side of their head. These openings are usually positioned behind and slightly below a bird’s eyes and are protected by soft feathers.
The position of a bird’s head also plays a role in its hearing abilities. Scientists have determined that noises register at different frequencies on each side of the bird’s head. Depending on the angle from which the noise originates, it registers with a certain frequency in the left eardrum but with a different frequency in the right eardrum. This allows the bird to locate a sound’s origin.
For example, owls are known for their extremely accurate hearing, which helps them locate prey at night. This hearing ability is due in part to the unbalanced arrangement of the ear openings, with one opening being lower than the other. Sounds register in these openings at slightly different times. Owls can use this time difference, which is only 30 millionths of a second, to determine whether the sounds are coming from their left or their right. Other birds of prey have flaps in front of their ears that help them determine whether sounds are coming from above them or below them. Some owls do appear to have ears on the top of their head, but those are actually feathers controlled by small muscles under the skin that do not affect their hearing at all.
12. What is the difference between birds and humans according to paragraph 2
A. Ears’ structure. B. Ears’ function.
C. Ears’ position. D. Ears’ sensitivity.
13. What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 3 probably refer to
A. The angle of noise sources.
B. The bird’s unique ear structure.
C. The intensity of the sound around the bird.
D. The difference in frequencies between the eardrums.
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The flaps of birds of prey have little impact on their hearing.
B. Owls determine the direction of sound based on their feathers.
C. Different birds have varying abilities to judge the direction of sound.
D. Many birds have unbalanced positions of the ear openings besides owls.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Secret of Owls’ Hearing B. Special Ear Structure of Birds
C. Different Hearing Systems of Birds D. Remarkable Hearing Abilities of Birds

One of the best examples of this optimistic misconception is the electric car.

However, the reality is that the amount of resources and energy needed to produce enough electric vehicles for everyone is not even remotely sustainable.
____19____Investing in public transportation and moving away from individually owned vehicles. Producing fewer cars. Improving recycling practices of old batteries. The solutions we seek should not be rooted in new technology, but be about changing the way our society functions.
Techno-optimism puts too much emphasis on technology and not enough on what we can do right this minute. Unfortunately, people seem to like the picture that techno-optimism paints. ____20____Until we are ready to face the need for a less complex life, we cannot make true progress towards sustainability.
A. People used to fall into this trap.
