    【题目】 Wood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material. It is cheap, durable(耐用的), easily available, and most importantly, environmentally sustainable. The one thing it is not, is transparent(透明的).Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the material may even be able to add that feature to its already impressive list.

    Lead researcher Dr. Lars Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices.

    The team began by pulling out the wood’s lignin (木质素). The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer (聚合物) and baked at a temperature of 158F for four hours. The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also, almost transparent. The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood.

    While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips, the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications. The researchers, who revealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11, picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light, or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light without sacrificing privacy.

    Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings. Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels. The semi-transparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor, thus resulting in better solar efficiency.

    Additionally, substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturers improve their carbon footprint and lower the cost. They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use.

    【1】What does the underlined part "that feature" in Paragraph 1 refer to?

    A.Cheapness.B.Durability.

    C.Sustainability.D.Transparency.

    【2】Which of the following is not the process in which the transparent wood is made?

    A.Dip the wood into a polymer.B.Reduce the amount of the polymer.

    C.Make the wood lignin-free.D.Bake the wood for some time.

    【3】What’s the purpose of using the transparent wood in buildings?

    A.To protect privacy.B.To scale out applications.

    C.To get more natural light.D.To observe more clearly.

    【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

    A.The bright future of the transparent wood.

    B.The wood’s role in the design of solar panels.

    C.The disadvantages of the currently used glass.

    D.Solar energy manufacturers’ carbon footprint.

    【题目】 From talking robots and video phones, technology has become so advanced that the previously impossible seems to occur on a daily basis. And yet—we still have no cure for the common cold.

    Why can’t we stop the common cold? According to Peter Barlow, a scientist at Edinburgh Napier University, the main challenge lies in the many different types of cold viruses that are produced by the rhinoviruses (鼻病毒). There are at least 160 types. They change so easily that they quickly become resistant to drugs. In other words, a single cure isn’t likely to work on every type of cold.

    However, researchers from Stanford University have found a possible answer. They discovered a protein that the viruses need. Without it, they can't spread inside your body.

    To identify the gene which produces the specific protein needed by the viruses, researchers used a gene-editing technique to test all genes one by one for thousands of cells. These modified (改变的) cells were then exposed to a range of rhinoviruses which cause the common cold.

    All the viruses were unable to copy inside cells without a gene that produces a specific protein, called methyltransferase (甲基转移酶) SETD3.

    Then, they tested genetically modified mice, which were completely unable to produce the protein. The mice were able to live healthy, normal lives without the protein.

    “Lacking that gene protected the mice completely from the common cold,” associate professor Jan Carette, from Stanford, told the BBC.

    “These mice would always die, but they survived and we saw a very strong protection.”

    Carette said the plan is to find a drug which can keep back the protein for a limited time, rather than produce genetically modified humans.

    “We have identified a fantastic target that all rhinoviruses require and depend on. Take that away and the virus really has no chance,” said Carette.

    【1】Why does the author mention talking robots and video phones in the first paragraph?

    A.To stress the importance of technology.

    B.To encourage readers to share their ideas.

    C.To introduce the topic of the text.

    D.To recognize the progress of science.

    【2】What can we learn about the protein needed by the viruses?

    A.It helps the viruses copy inside our bodies.

    B.It stops the viruses from changing easily.

    C.It protects the viruses against drugs.

    D.It forces the viruses to spread fast.

    【3】What does Jan Carette intend to do?

    A.To identify a fantastic target.

    B.To slow copying speed of some genes.

    C.To produce genetically modified humans.

    D.To find a drug to temporarily block the protein.

    【4】What is the best title for the text?

    A.A New Experiment on Viruses.

    B.New Defense Found for Viruses.

    C.A Chemical Curing Modified Viruses.

    D.Gene-editing Technology to Control Viruses.

    【题目】 Growing up, Deka Ismail says she let labels define what she could be. “I was a black girl, from a refugee (难民) family,” Deka said. “It was as if I was only allowed to explore in this predetermined box.”

    After a high school chemistry class inspired her to think about a career in science and gave her confidence in the field, Deka learned to live outside labels and began making big plans for her future. Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California, planning to become a professor.

    Born and raised in San Diego’s City Heights neighbourhood, Deka is the daughter of a Somali refugee couple. While some might say Deka’s success happened in spite of her background, she would say differently, that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be the driven, young scientist that she is today.

    When Deka was eight years old, her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order to support the whole family. That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to one’s life. She spent a lot of time in the library reading books, and didn’t do many of the things her peers did, like partying or having romantic relationships.

    “I always felt like I had to be the perfect girl for my family,” Deka said. “You have to not even do your best but two times better than everyone else. I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to mess up.”

    Deka’s efforts paid off. The summer before her senior year of high school, she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Programme. “She brought both enthusiasm and focus,” Botham, a researcher at this research institute, recalled. “She arrived every day ready to work, ready to learn and ready to tackle new challenges regardless of whether or not she had done anything similar.”

    When asked what advice she would give to others like her, Deka warned them not to underestimate themselves. “Don’t tell yourself that scholarship is too big or this programme is too competitive or I’ll never get into this school, ” she said. “I was not sure whether I could make it until I started seeing the acceptance letters rolling in.”

    【1】From the passage, we can learn that ______.

    A.Deka was adopted by a refugee family

    B.Deka spent a lot of time going to parties

    C.Deka became a professor after graduation

    D.Deka’s experiences drove her to work hard

    【2】Deka realized the importance of education ______.

    A.from her mother’s experienceB.after her chemistry class

    C.by reading books in the libraryD.through working at the institute

    【3】According to the last paragraph, Deka advised that students be ______.

    A.patientB.confident

    C.ambitiousD.generous

    【4】What does the story intend to tell us?

    A.Life is not all roses.

    B.Practice makes perfect.

    C.Well begun is half done.

    D.Hard work leads to success.
