People have backbones(脊梁), and so does Beijing. Its backbone is the central axis(中轴线), 线), a line that smartly organizes buildings in the city.
In July, the “Beijing Central Axis: A Building Ensemble Exhibiting the Ideal Order of the Chinese Capital” was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List(世界遗产名录), becoming China's 59thWorld Heritage Site.
Based on(基于) traditional Chinese culture, the Beijing Central Axis has a group of buildings and historical sites(历史遗址) that shape Beijing’s old city.This axis is 7.8 kilometers long, running from north to south in central Beijing. This area includes 15 key parts, such as the Bell and Drum Towers in the north and Yongdingmen Gate in the south.
The building of the Beijing Central Axis started in the Yuan Dynasty(1271-1368) and continued during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911). It still plays a great role in Beijing’s development today.
According to Lyu Zhou, director of the National Heritage Center at Tsinghua University, the idea behind the Beijing Central Axis dates back to the Kaogongji(《考工记》), written before 221 BC. This book explains how to plan a capital city.
The Beijing Central Axis shows the traditional Chinese ideas of“zhong (中)”and “he(和)”.For example, the royal palace(皇宫) was placed at the center to show imperial power(皇权), with other important buildings placed around it to create a feeling of harmony(和谐).
“Beijing’s [special] and [great]order is created by this central axis,” said Liang Sicheng (1901-1972), a famous Chinese architect(建筑家).
1. What role does the central axis play in Beijing
A. It shows different world cultures. B. It keeps people's lives healthy.
C. It sees the city's development. D. It shapes Beijing's layout.
2. What do we know about the central axis of Beijing
A. It makes Beijing the capital of China. B. Its creator is the writer of Kaogongii.
C.It slowly took shape over many dynasties. D. It is made up of buildings in the city's north.
3. According to Liang Sicheng, what idea can the central axis show
A. The love for architects. B. The importance of people.
C. The happy life of ancient Chinese. D. The social order.

When we eat eggs, we usually throw away eggshells(蛋壳). But in a new study, a group of US scientists from the University of Massachusetts Lowell used eggshells to help damaged bones to get better.
The scientists first crushed(压碎) eggshells and mixed them with other things. They then put the glue-like mix into a 3D printer(打印机)to make small molds (模具).The molds looked like small pieces of beehives(蜂窝).When they put cells(细胞) of a person’s bones on these molds, to the scientists’ surprise, the cells grew very quickly.
This is because eggshells have many minerals(矿物质)in them, such as calcium(钙). These minerals can provide “food” for the cells, scientists told Medical News Today.This allows bones to grow faster and become stronger.
If someone loses a bone, doctors can put the “eggshell bones” into the person’s body.Because they’re grown from the person’s cells, they will work better. The scientists already tested the “eggshell bones” on mice. They worked fine. Also, thanks to 3D printing, scientists were able to create molds in different shapes. This makes it possible for our teeth to be repaired(修复)in the same way.
1. How do the scientists grow bones
A. They grow cells in molds. B. They print bones with 3D printers.
C. They use eggshells as glue. D. They put bones in eggshells.
2. Why can eggshells help bones grow
A. Because eggshells grow fast.
B. Because eggshells are very strong.
C.Because eggshells are rich in minerals.
D. Because eggshells are the best food for animals.
3. What role does 3D printing play
A. To help use animal bones fully. B. To help repair teeth quickly.
C. To make it possible to work on rats. D. To make different shapes of molds.
4. What is the passage mainly about
A. Special bones in human bodies. B. The use of eggshells in making bones
C. New tests on human bones. D. The usage of 3D printing.

Shanya Gill is a 13-year-old girl from California, US. In April, she got a special invitation to visit the US Fire Administration’s office with her father. There, they discussed fire control. They were invited because Gill made a new fire detector(探测器). It won her the top prize in the 2023 Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge.
It all started with a big fire. When Gill was in Grade 6, the restaurant behind her house burned down(烧毁). No one died, but the event made Gill and her family feel afraid. “The restaurant had smoke detectors, but still, the restaurant could not be saved,” Gill told the Society for Science. “I came to realize that smoke detectors simply are not good enough and decided to make a better fire detector.”
She studied programming and made a system (系统) that can detect warm objects with 98 percent accuracy(准确率). It detects hot ones with 97 percent accuracy and sends alerts (警报) to people. This is better than traditional smoke detectors which only have about 82 to94 percent accuracy.
Gill now hopes to share her invention with the world. She doesn't want to patent(申请专利) it because she hopes everyone can use it. She wants it to save as many lives and buildings as possible. In fact, Gill is creating a website to share the system with the public.
“She's offering a new solution(解决方案) to the world that is an improved solution over what's out there today," said Mike Dugas, senior director of research and development at Thermo Fisher Scientific.

Streetlights(路灯) may be good for people and cars, b 1 they are making the tree leaves so h 2 that insects (昆虫) can’t eat them. This will, in the end, hurt the food chain(食物链), according to a new study.
Scientists tested the two common k 3 of trees in Beijing. They found that in places
w 4 a lot of artificial(人造的) light at night, plants may focus on defense r 5 than growth by making their leaves harder. The trees also make more chemicals(化学物质)to keep insects a 6 .
Even though l 7 without insect bites(啃食) might look nicer to people, it could be bad for nature. When there are f 8 bugs eating leaves, there will be fewer bugs overall. This may lead to fewer birds and other a 9 that eat bugs.
The number of bugs has been going d 10 around the world. Scientists are calling for more attention to this problem.
