11、y Chinese lady. She is small and slight. She holds a paper carrier bag in her hands.I know this lady. It is by no means her first visit. Her daughter, Nicole, bought the house next door last October. Nicole, who is currently in Shanghai, has apparently told her mother that I am having heart surgery
12、shortly, and the result is that her mother has decided I need to be supplied with meals.I know what is inside the paper carrier bag a stainless-steel container with a meal of rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp. This has become an almost-daily occurrence.Communication between my bene
13、factor (恩 人 )and me is somewhat handicapped by the fact that she doesnt speak English and all I can say in Mandarin is “hello”. Once, she brought an iPad and pointed to the screen, which displayed a message from Nicole telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right.“Your mother
14、just cant be bringing me meals like this all the time” I protested. “I can hardly reciprocate by cooking something from my native land, like roast beef or Yorkshire pudding for her” I said.“Oh, no,” Nicole said. “Dont worry about that. She has to cook for the family anyway, and she wants to do it fo
15、r you. You can call her Wing, which is her surname.”The tenant in my basement suite is a university student who speaks Mandarin quite well, so with her help, I have found out that Wing is 6813 years younger than I am and that she lived through the Cultural Revolution. For my part, I was raised in wa
16、rtime Britain.So here we are, two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised, neither of us able to speak the others language. But the doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar paper carrier bag, handed smilingly to me by Wing.Right now I am working on some more Mandarin wordsits the
17、 least I can do after such a display of kindness.“Thank you” is, of course, the first one, which somehow seems inadequate.21 The author and Wing got to know each other .A. as next door neighbors B. when exchanging mealsC. by sharing similar experiences D. after using an iPad to communicate22 The und
18、erlined word “reciprocate” in Paragraph 5 probably means .A. do as well B. give in return C. offer generously D. accept with pleasure23 The authors effort to learn Mandarin shows her .A. great satisfaction B. real kindness C. sincere friendship D. heartfelt thanksBIn a unique research cooperation be
19、tween Stratasys, Education, R however, Tibbits states the fourth dimension at work here comes from concept of the fourth dimension of time. The difference between these 3D and 4D creations is that these new forms have the ability to transform and adapt over time.4D printing works through self-assemb
20、ly a system where “disordered elements form an “ordered” structure via an interaction. With these 4D printed materials, these disordered materials are strands or sheets of specially designed materials. Environmental changes then stimulate (刺 激 ) a response from them so that they form a preprogrammed
21、 shape.The idea of having adaptable technology that only relies on energy and non-human interactions raises some interesting questions about where 4D printing can be used and the practical applications in dangerous environments. This could mean improving infrastructures( 基 础 设 施 ) in extreme conditi
22、ons, leading to a reduced need for workers to put themselves at risk, but the potential goes even further than that. The technology promises exciting new possibilities for a variety of applications. A solar panel or similar product could be produced in a flat shape onto which functional devices can
23、be easily installed. It could then be changed to a compact shape for packing and shipping. After arriving at its destination, the product could be stimulated to form a different shape that serves its function. Also it could be used to build furniture, bikes, cars and even buildings. As with many of
24、the ideas being put forward, it is easy to go a step too far into the extreme, but this just shows the potential of 4D in comparison to 3D.The next stage for the research is to move from printing single strands to sheets and eventually whole structures. And water need not be the processs only energy
25、 source.24. Which of the following displays the fourth dimension of 4D printing?A. 4D printing creates a new, 3D structure out of certain component.B. 4D technology reduces need for workers to put themselves at risk.C. 4D technology can be used in many more fields than 3D printing.D. 4D printed mate
26、rials reshape themselves with conditions changing.25. The major problem concerning the development of 4D printing lies in_.A. producing essential 4D printers B. creating proper smart materialsC. providing a suitable environment D. promoting practical applications26. It can be inferred from the last
27、but one paragraph that_.A. electricity is used in 4D technology B. 4D printing has been applied in industryC. more potential of 4D is to be discovered D. 4D technology will go to extreme27. What does the passage lead you to believe?A. 4D printing will take the place of 3D printing in the near future
28、.B. Most aspects of our study life can be affected by 4D printing.C. 4D printing will benefit humans by saving labor somehow.D. Smart materials can be transformed into other types of material.CIf you could change your childs DNA in the future to protect them against diseases, would you? It could be
29、possible because of technology known as CRISPR-Cas, or just CRISPR.CRISPR involves a piece of RNA, a chemical messenger, designed to work on one part of DNA; it also uses an enzyme (酶) that can take unwanted genes out and put new ones in, according to The Economist. There are other ways of editing D
30、NA, but CRISPR will do it very simply, quickly, and exactly.The uses of CRISPR could mean that cures are developed for everything from Alzheimers to cancer to HIV. By allowing doctors to put just the right cancer-killing genes into a patients immune system, the technology could help greatly.In April
31、 scientists in China said they had tried using CRISPR to edit the genomes (基因组) of human embryos. Though the embryos would never turn into humans, this was the first time anyone had ever tried to edit DNA from human beings. With this in mind, the US National Academy of Sciences plans to discuss ques
32、tions about CRISPRs ethics (伦理问题).For example, CRISPR doesnt work properly yet. As well as cutting the DNA it is looking for, it often cuts other DNA, too. In addition, we currently seem to have too little understanding of what DNA gives people what qualities.There are also moral questions around “p
33、laying God”. Of course, medicine already stops natural things from happening for example, it saves people from infections. The opportunities to treat diseases make it hard to say we shouldnt keep going.A harder question is whether it is ever right to edit human germ-line (种系) cells and make changes
34、that are passed on to children. This is banned in 40 countries and restricted in many others. However, CRISPR means that if genes can be edited out, they can also be edited back in. It may be up to us as a society to decide when and where editing the genome is wrong.Also, according to The Economist,
35、 gene editing may mean that parents make choices that are not obviously in the best interests of their children: “Deaf parents may prefer their children to be deaf too; parents might want to make their children more intelligent at all costs.”来源:In the end, more research is still needed to see what w
36、e can and cant do with CRISPR. “Its still a huge mystery how we work,” Craig Mello, a UMass Medical School biologist and Nobel Prize winner, told The Boston Globe. “Were just trying to figure out this amazingly complicated thing we call life.”28What is the article mainly about?A. What we can and can
37、t do with CRISPR.B. How CRISPR was developed by scientists. C. The advantages of CRISPR and arguments about its ethics.D. Chinese scientists experiment of using CRISPR to edit human embryos.29According to the article, the technology of CRISPR _.A. is very safe because it only cuts the DNA it is look
38、ing forB. is banned in 42 countries and restricted in many othersC. could cause parents to make unwise choices for their childrenD. could help us discover the link between DNA and the qualities it gives people30It can be concluded from the article that CRISPR _.A. allows scientists to edit genomes f
39、or the first timeB. could be helpful in the treatment of cancer and HIV C. is a technology that uses an enzyme to work on RNA and DNAD. has proven to be the most effective way to protect children against diseases31What is the authors attitude toward CRISPR?A. Supportive. B. Worried. C. Negative. D.
40、Objective.The 2016 Oscars, the 88th Academy Awards, once again thrilled people around the world, including the Chinese, who were excited about Leonardo DiCaprio winning the Best Actor Award.But the annual carnival also put Chinese filmmakers in an awkward position, as no Chinese film makers ever poc
41、keted a golden trophy(奖杯 ). The hard truth leaves people wondering when the nation, which is already the second largest film market, will earn a place in the well-known award ceremonys spotlight.There are good reasons to be optimistic about such an ambitious outlook.First, China is one of the fastes
42、t growing film markets in the world, attracting abundant capital from home and abroad, which will attract more talented people to get into the industry. Latest statistics showed Chinese cinemas took a record of 6.87 billion yuan (about $ 1.05 billion) in ticket sales in February, with the monthly bo
43、x office overtaking that of North America for the first time.The achievement, which may be repeated in the future, has led to thinking that Chinas annual box office could go on to surpass(超过) North America as soon as 2017. As capital rushes into the Chinese film industry, fierce competition is expec
44、ted. The creativity and quality of homegrown movies, two outstanding shortcomings compared with Hollywood productions, will be improved.Second, Chinese culture and stories have provided a rich source of inspiration for domestic(国内的) productions. For example, the most popular animations in China are
45、the Kung Fu Panda series and Monkey King films. Once they master cutting-edge film technology and improve narration(叙述), Chinese film makers could see their potential released. Also showing promise is the younger generation of filmmakers, who are born after 1970. With more professional and internati
46、onal training compared with their predecessors(前辈), such as Zhang Yimou, they are equipped to make breakthroughs.Young directors, who often travel to the United States and Europe for seminars and award ceremonies, are also more familiar with Hollywood productions. This being said, no one can predict
47、 the exact year when a homegrown film will surprise the world greatly. Patience is gold for domestic filmmakers.32Why do Chinese filmmakers feel awkward, according to the passage?A. Because China has never earned any film award in the world.B. Because Chinese film makers have never won a golden trop
48、hy of the Oscar.C. Because Leonardo DiCaprio won the Best Actor award of the Oscar in 2016.D. Because Chinese wonder when China will be the largest film market in the world.33In the authors opinion, what are the reasons for Chinese filmmakers to win an Oscar in the future? China can raise capital fr
49、om home and abroad. The creativity and quality of Chinese movies have been improved. The younger film makers, receiving international training, are more professional. Film makers can find a rich source of inspiration from Chinese culture and stories.A. B. C. D. 34According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Kung Fu Panda series and Monkey King films are the most popular an
