A young Chinese woman who lost an eye in a serious car accident dedicated her life to creating prosthetic (假体的)eyes that flash different colors.
In 2013, Xintong lost one of her eyes in a car accident. She was only 18at the time, and she had it replaced with a prosthetic eye. Instead of losing confidence in herself and shying away from people because of her appearance, the young woman finally decided to turn her situation to make herself stand out. After studying to become a prosthetic eye technician, Xintong started making all sorts of unique prostheses for herself, which showed off on social media, slowly building up a loyal following.
Xintong is perfectly capable of making classic prosthetic eyes That are almost indistinguishable from real ones, but she is best known for her “bionic (仿生的)eyes” that light up different colors and even flash at the press of a button. Short videos trying out some of these unusual prostheses have been going viral in China and she recent the attention of mainstream media as well. When interviewed, the 28-year-old woman said that she got into making prosthetic eyes as a way of helping people like her deal with confidence issues.
Some people want realistic prostheses, but some, like Xintong herself, use their disability to make themselves really unique by incorporating (植入)small LEDs in their prostheses. This allows them to look like real-life robots, and that’s admittedly pretty coo
Most people praise her for her power to turn a life-changing tragedy in her life into something positive.

Electronics woven (编织) into fabrics promise to open up all kinds of interesting possibilities, from clothing that monitors muscle activity and tracks breathing, to garments that can talk to one another. Developing pliable power sources to go with them is an equally important field of research, so scientists at the University of British Columbia have put forward a particularly impressive solution that they say could be the first ever battery that is both stretchable and washable.
To develop a battery with such capabilities the scientists reimagined the way these devices are put together. Rather than forming a lithium-ion battery packed with hardened materials inside a rigid exterior, the team turned to an alternative chemistry in zinc-manganese (锌锰) dioxide, which is appealing for its low cost and safety. These materials were ground down into tiny pieces and inset in a polymer (聚合物) to form very thin and stretchable layers.
“We went with zinc-manganese because for devices worn next to the skin, it’s a safer chemistry than lithium-ion batteries, which can produce deadly compounds when they break,” says Nguyen.
The resulting battery is flexible and can be stretched to twice its normal length, has a specific capacity of 160 mAh g-1 and keeps 75 percent of its capacity over 500 charge and discharge cycles. Impressively, the team found the battery to withstand 39 wash cycles so far.
The team is now working to improve the power output and lifetime of the battery, and says the creation has already attracted commercial interest, with the cost expected to be similar to a standard rechargeable battery. They imagine it being put to use in watches and patches that measure vital signs, and in smart clothing that does much the same thing.
28. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “pliable” in paragraph 1
A. Strong. B. Multiple.
C. Reliable. D. Flexible.
29. What was a major consideration for introducing zinc-manganese battery
A. Safety. B. Hardness.
C. Comfortableness. D. Convenience.
30. Which aspect of the new battery impressed the researchers in paragraph 4
A. Its stretch length. B. Its washability.
C. Its massive capacity. D. Its charge speed.
31. What is the main idea of the text
A. Electronic clothing is well received.
B. Clothing fitted with new battery is on the way.
C. Flexible and washable power sources woven into clothing will be available.
D. Electronics woven into fabrics open up possibilities.
D
Very few people enjoy going to the dentist, especially for a filling. Often fillings need to be replaced during the patient’s lifetime. But is filling the cavity (蛀牙洞) with a foreign material really the best treatment Is it possible that the tooth could repair itself with its own material — dentine (牙质) Researchers at King’s College London have found a process that may replace the traditional method.
Paul Sharpe of King’s College London says the new treatment for cavities is simpler. It uses a drug that causes the tooth to fill in the hole naturally with dentine. “It involves putting a drug in the hole. It excites a natural process, which starts to occur anyway following the damage, so you can actually get the big hole repaired and the repair is the production of the natural material, the dentine.”
Usually a new drug requires repeated testing before it is approved for treatment. However, this drug that produces the regrowth material in teeth has already been approved. It is a drug used to treat Alzheimer’s disease and other disorders of the nervous system. Researchers explain that they use only a small amount and they use it locally. Usually that means the medicine is put directly on the affected area. It does not travel through the patient’s blood.
Nigel Carter heads Britain’s Oral Health Foundation. He describes the new treatment as an exciting possibility for dental care. But Carter also has a warning, “Actually regrowing the tooth that has been lost with a cavity would be really a huge step forward. But it's also important that we remember that filling the cavity is not the first place. It’s a preventable disease.”
32. When it comes to the dental treatment, researchers at King’s College London focus on .
A. why the cavity must be filled B. what skills dentists should learn
C. when people have to see a dentist D. how the tooth can repair itself
33. The advantage of the new treatment for cavities mostly lies in .
A. the full use of a new drug B. the natural process of tooth repair
C. the good quality of filling materials D. the practical way of finding the damage early
34. What do we know about the drug used for the new dental treatment
A. It has little effect on Alzheimer’s disease.
B. It is being tested before it gets final approval.
C. It has been put to use for treating other diseases.
D. It travels through the patients' blood and has side effects.
35. Which of the following would Nigel Carter most probably agree with
A. We should take good care of our teeth in daily life.
B. When you find the cavity, it is unnecessary to get it filled.
C. Taking exercise is the best way to prevent dental disease.
D. When you find a damaged tooth, you'd better repair it.

The boss learned that Jack’s academic achievements were very good all the way, from the middle school until university. Never had a year when he did not receive prizes.
The boss asked, “Did you have any part-time jobs in school ” Jack shook his head and said, “No, I didn’t have part-time jobs.” The boss went on and asked, “Was it your father who paid for your school fees ” Jack replied, “My father passed away when I was one year old. It was my mother who worked and paid for my school fees.”
The boss continued, “Where did your mother work ” Jack told him that his mother worked as a clothes cleaner. Every day she would carry baskets of clothes home. After washing and ironing the clothes, she carried the baskets back to the store where she got paid.
Then the boss politely requested Jack to show his hands to him. Jack was confused and he showed his hands in front of the boss, a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect. The boss asked again, “Jack, have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before ” Jack answered, “Never. My mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Besides, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.”
The boss smiled and said, “Jack, I am satisfied with your performance in the interviews, but I have another request. When you return home tonight, go and clean your mother’s hands, and then come to see me tomorrow morning.”

W: Can I ask you about your childhood Were you a bookish child
M: In a strange way, I was a non-reader until I turned 9. I used to play basketball in the schoolyards of Brooklyn. My father was a high school teacher of physics and chemistry. And he was a big reader. He would bring books back from his high school library. One day I read the last chapter of a book, the title of which I’ve long since forgotten. I liked it so much that I started reading the remainder. Interestingly, I read the chapters backwards until I got to the beginning. I really loved the experience, and I soon became an eager reader. Then my father would bring piles of books home from the library. And I would read them all, and they were all fiction. I must add that I started reading the books from the start, as opposed to working backwards.

【原文】M: Hello, I’m Maxim Vengerov, and I’m very happy to share with you my connection with Open Tchaikovsky Competition. It was June 1986 when I came to Moscow to participate in Open Tchaikovsky Competition at the age of 10 from Chelyabinsk. This was actually the turning point of my life. Then I attended a world music festival in Berlin. And it was interesting to say that a kid made his breakthrough already at the age of 10. And that was me. Now as a judge of the competition, I can see clearly the huge challenges facing the musicians in the competition. Where else can you see young players playing within ten days—classical works and Russian traditional music before coming to the final stage As a musician, it’s important to give maximum attention and time to your own reflections of your own feelings. So, what I’m really looking for in the competition is to meet someone who can touch me musically. I want to see the seed, at least the seed of the great tree that can grow. I would go for this violinist. I would go for this musician.

Electronics woven (编织) into fabrics promise to open up all kinds of interesting possibilities, from clothing that monitors muscle activity and tracks breathing, to garments that can talk to one another. Developing pliable power sources to go with them is an equally important field of research, so scientists at the University of British Columbia have put forward a particularly impressive solution that they say could be the first ever battery that is both stretchable and washable.
To develop a battery with such capabilities, the scientists reimagined the way these devices are put together. Rather than forming a lithium-ion battery packed with hardened materials inside a rigid exterior, the team turned to an alternative chemistry in zinc-manganese (锌锰) dioxide, which is appealing for its low cost and safety. These materials were ground down into tiny pieces and inset in a polymer (聚合物) to form very thin and stretchable layers.
“We went with zinc-manganese because for devices worn next to the skin, it’s a safer chemistry than lithium-ion batteries, which can produce deadly compounds when they break,” says Nguyen.
The resulting battery is flexible and can be stretched to twice its normal length, has a specific capacity of 160 mAh g-1 and keeps 75 percent of its capacity over 500 charge and discharge cycles. Impressively, the team found the battery to withstand 39 wash cycles so far.
The team is now working to improve the power output and lifetime of the battery, and says the creation has already attracted commercial interest, with the cost expected to be similar to a standard rechargeable battery. They imagine it being put to use in watches and patches that measure vital signs, and in smart clothing that does much the same thing.
28. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “pliable” in paragraph 1
A. Strong. B. Multiple.
C. Reliable. D. Flexible.
29. What was a major consideration for introducing zinc-manganese battery
A. Safety. B. Hardness.
C. Comfortableness. D. Convenience.
30. Which aspect of the new battery impressed the researchers in paragraph 4
A. Its stretch length. B. Its washability.
C. Its massive capacity. D. Its charge speed.
31. What is the main idea of the text
A. Electronic clothing is well received.
B. Clothing fitted with new battery is on the way.
C. Flexible and washable power sources woven into clothing will be available.
D Electronics woven into fabrics open up possibilities.

Very few people enjoy going to the dentist, especially for a filling. Often fillings need to be replaced during the patient’s lifetime. But is filling the cavity (蛀牙洞) with a foreign material really the best treatment Is it possible that the tooth could repair itself with its own material — dentine (牙质) Researchers at King’s College London have found a process that may replace the traditional method.
Paul Sharpe of King’s College London says the new treatment for cavities is simpler. It uses a drug that causes the tooth to fill in the hole naturally with dentine. “It involves putting a drug in the hole. It excites a natural process, which starts to occur anyway following the damage, so you can actually get the big hole repaired and the repair is the production of the natural material, the dentine.”
Usually a new drug requires repeated testing before it is approved for treatment. However, this drug that produces the regrowth material in teeth has already been approved. It is a drug used to treat Alzheimer’s disease and other disorders of the nervous system. Researchers explain that they use only a small amount and they use it locally. Usually that means the medicine is put directly on the affected area. It does not travel through the patient’s blood.
Nigel Carter heads Britain’s Oral Health Foundation. He describes the new treatment as an exciting possibility for dental care. But Carter also has a warning, “Actually regrowing the tooth that has been lost with a cavity would be really a huge step forward. But it's also important that we remember that filling the cavity is not the first place. It’s a preventable disease.”
32. When it comes to the dental treatment, researchers at King’s College London focus on .
A. why the cavity must be filled B. what skills dentists should learn
C when people have to see a dentist D. how the tooth can repair itself
33. The advantage of the new treatment for cavities mostly lies in .
A. the full use of a new drug B. the natural process of tooth repair
C. the good quality of filling materials D. the practical way of finding the damage early
34. What do we know about the drug used for the new dental treatment
A. It has little effect on Alzheimer’s disease.
B. It is being tested before it gets final approval.
C. It has been put to use for treating other diseases.
D. It travels through the patients' blood and has side effects.
35. Which of the following would Nigel Carter most probably agree with
A. We should take good care of our teeth in daily life.
B. When you find the cavity, it is unnecessary to get it filled.
C. Taking exercise is the best way to prevent dental disease.
D. When you find a damaged tooth, you'd better repair it.

细节理解题。根据第三段第二、三句“However, this drug that produces the regrowth material in teeth has already been approved. It is a drug used to treat Alzheimer’s disease and other disorders of the nervous system.”（然而，这种在牙齿中产生再生物质的药物已经被批准了。它是一种用于治疗阿尔茨海默病和其他神经系统疾病的药物。）可知，这种新药已经被批准使用了，并且可以用来治疗阿尔茨海默病和其他神经系统紊乱的疾病。故选C项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中奈杰尔 卡特的话“But it’s also important that we remember that filling the cavity is not the first place. It’s a preventable disease.”（但同样重要的是，我们要记住，填补蛀牙并不是首先要做的。这是一种可以预防的疾病。）可知，奈杰尔 卡特表示：我们要记住的是首先就不应该有蛀牙洞，因为它是完全可以预防的疾病。因此可推断，日常生活中保护好牙齿才是第一位的。故选A项。

【61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：今年的诺贝尔生理学或医学奖被授予屠呦呦(共同获奖者)，他的研究导致了青蒿素的发现，这是一种治疗疟疾的重要新疗法。分析句子可知，此处为关系代词whose引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词是Tu Youyou，从句中的research有所属关系，用whose作定语引导非限制性定语从句。故填whose。
【62题详解】
考查冠词。句意：今年的诺贝尔生理学或医学奖被授予屠呦呦(共同获奖者)，他的研究导致了青蒿素的发现，这是一种治疗疟疾的重要新疗法。根据句意以及空后new treatment为单数名词可知，此处为表示泛指“一种新疗法”为泛指概念，结合crucial为辅音因素开头的单词，所以填入不定冠词a。故填a。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：青蒿素挽救了数十万人生命，改善了数百万人的健康状况。 分析句子可知，此处考查非谓语动词，所填动词应是非谓语作定语修饰名词，与“health”之间为被动关系，且表达已完成，应是用过去分词形式。故填improved。
【64题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：青蒿素已成为治疗疟疾的重要组成部分，人们相信仅在非洲每年就能挽救10万人的生命。分析句子可知，此处为谓语动词的填入，主语Artemisinin和动词think为被动关系，陈述事实此处时态应为一般现在时。故填is thought。
【65题详解】
考查形容词。句意：屠呦呦，一个尽心尽力的和耐心的人，1930年12月30日出生于中国宁波，1955年毕业于北京大学医学院。由and连接的patient为形容词可知，此处也应为形容词形式committed，构成并列形容词短语，意为“一个尽心尽力的和耐心的人”。故填committed。
【66题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意：1967年，中国政府成立了一个科学家小组，目的是发现一种新的疟疾治疗方法，屠呦呦是第一批被选中的研究人员之一。根据句意以及空前a team可知，此处应为名词复数形式，表示“一个科学家小组”。故填scientists。
【67题详解】
考查动名词。句意：1967年，中国政府成立了一个科学家小组，目的是发现一种新的疟疾治疗方法，屠呦呦是第一批被选中的研究人员之一。由空前of介词以及提示词为动词可知，此处应为动名词形式。故填discovering。
【68题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：1967年，中国政府成立了一个科学家小组，目的是发现一种新的疟疾治疗方法，屠呦呦是第一批被选中的研究人员之一。分析句子可知，此处为the first+名词+to do…“第一个做……的……”，所以此处为动词不定式to do作后置定语修饰researchers。故填to choose。
【69题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：她的团队检查了2000多份古老的医学文献，并评估了28万种植物的医学特性。由and连接的动词examined可知，句子时态是一般过去时，此处动词也应为过去式。故填evaluated。

Jack graduated from a famous university this July. He went to apply for a job in a big company and had to go through interviews before getting the job.
He passed the first two interviews easily, and then it was the boss’s turn to do the last one and make the final decision whether Jack would get the job or not.
The boss learned that Jack’s academic achievements were very good all the way, from the middle school until university. Never had a year when he did not receive prizes.
The boss asked, “Did you have any part-time jobs in school ” Jack shook his head and said, “No, I didn’t have part-time jobs.” The boss went on and asked, “Was it your father who paid for your school fees ” Jack replied, “My father passed away when I was one year old. It was my mother who worked and paid for my school fees.”
The boss continued, “Where did your mother work ” Jack told him that his mother worked as a clothes cleaner. Every day she would carry baskets of clothes home. After washing and ironing the clothes, she carried the baskets back to the store where she got paid.
Then the boss politely requested Jack to show his hands to him. Jack was confused and he showed his hands in front of the boss, a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect. The boss asked again, “Jack, have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before ” Jack answered, “Never. My mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Besides, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.”
The boss smiled and said, “Jack, I am satisfied with your performance in the interviews, but I have another request. When you return home tonight, go and clean your mother’s hands, and then come to see me tomorrow morning.”

【答案】One possible version:
Jack left the office, feeling confused about the strange request. No sooner had he entered his house than he told his mother the strange request. Feeling happy but embarrassed, she showed her hands to him. The youth cleaned his mother’s hands slowly. His tear fell as he did that. It was the first time he noticed that her hands were wrinkled with many bruises and wounds. Some were so painful that her hands shivered in water. After cleaning his mother’s hands, he washed all the remaining clothes for his mother. The youth understood the real intention behind the strange request.
The next morning, Jack went back to the boss’s office. Before opening the mouth, he thought of what he saw last night, eyes streamed with tears. The boss noticed and asked, “Jack, can you tell me what you have done and learned ” Fighting back tears, Jack told him that it was the first time that he had seen his mother’s hands closely, the ones that washed clothes day after day to pay for his study and his future. “You pass the interview. Congratulations!” The boss announced. “The one who appreciates hard work and family relationship is what we are looking for.”
