Dressed in a shiny metallic suit, Katia Krafft's small frame is overshadowed by the red curtain of molten rock that bursts from the ground before her The dramatic moment was captured in a photo taken atop Iceland's Krafla volcano in 1984, during the final breathing of a multi-year-long eruption. Looking at the image, one can almost feel the volcano's heat, hear its roar, and sense Kraff's heart pounding as the volcanologist does what she loves most: bearing witness to our planet's strong anger.

Katia Krafft was a fearless pioneer in volcanology, studying the explosive peaks at a time when there were few women in the field. She was born in the Rhine valley of northeast France in 1942. The chaotic human world drove both Katia and her husband, Maurice Krafft, also a volcanologist, to seek comfort in nature The moment a volcano exploded, they dropped everything to analyze and capture the beauty and mystery of each event.

The Kraffts used their videos of explosive eruptions to explain the complex risks and uncertainties of these disasters. It changed the ability to communicate volcano science. Their videos are credited as one of the primary reasons that officials in the Philippines took the warning signs of Mount Pinatubo's eruption in 1991 seriously. Yet the Kraffs didn't live to see that eruption. The couple died less than two weeks earlier in Japan during a monstrous eruption, which claimed 41 other lives.

Katia's impact on volcanology has reached far beyond her death and has encouraged many young women to study our restless planet "Katia Krafft is definitely the reason why I'm doing this job," says Carla Tiraboschi, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Minster, Germany. Tiraboschi first saw Katia in a documentary when she was just six or seven years old and has been crazy about volcanoes ever since. She now studies the processes at work deep below the volcanic peaks.

24. What does the author want to tell us in paragraph 1?

A. Katia Krafft's passion for her work.     B. The damage of a volcanic eruption.

C. The difficulty of filming volcanoes.     D. The importance of volcanology.

25. What can we know about the videos of explosive eruptions?

A. They prevented a natural disaster.          B. They served as a warning in Japan.

C. They covered Mount Pinatubo's eruption.    D. They helped spread volcano science.

26. How did Katia influence Carla Tiraboschi?

A Katia's deeds inspired her carer choice.        B. Katia helped her with her research.

C Katia's death made her restless        D. Katia taught her to make a documentary.

27. Which of the following best describes Katia Krafft?

A. Creative and honest,           B. Determined and generous.

C. Ambitious and outgoing        D. Brave and enthusiastic.

C

Every woman dreams of receiving a huge sparkling and priceless diamond. Now. scientists have discovered the largest diamond in the universe,

But it's well beyond the reach of the most lovestruck men-- 50 light years to be precise. Space scientists revealed that they had diseovered a ten billion trillion trillion carat gem. Measuring 2,500 miles across and weighing five million trillion trillion pounds, the rock was found on Valentine's Day buried in the core of a white dwarf star(白矮星) in the constellation Centaurus(人马座)"

It’s the mother of all diamonds," said Travis Metcalfe, who led the team of researchers at the

Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics in America!"

You would need a jewelry's loupe《小型放大镜) the size of the Sun to grade this diamond." Named Lucy, after the Beatles' song Lucy in the sky with Diamonds, the rock has sent a ripple of excitement through the scientific world.

The largest diamond found on earth was the 3106-carat(克拉) Cullinan. It was cut into nine major stones, including the 530-carat Star of Africa now a part of the Crown Jewels. Diamonds were first discovered in India more than 2800 years ago. The Ancient Romans believed that the stones were thin and sharp pieces of stars that had fallen downward to earth.

In Ancient Egypt diamonds were symbols of eternity (承恒) and were used in funeral ceremonies.In the Middle Ages men wore them to symbolize their courage, strength and energy. The tradition of giving them as love tokens dates from 1477, when Archduke Maximilian of Austria gave a diamond ring 1o Mary of Burgundy.

28. The largest diamond in the universe.

A. was found 50 years ago           B. was in the centre of a white dwarf star

C. was too large to measure          D. could be graded by a common jewelry's loupe

D

A joint research team recently have developed a new electronic skin that is similar to human skin in strength durability (耐久性) and sensitivity. The skin or e-skin may play an important role in next-generation personalized medicine, soft robotics and artificial intelligence.

"The ideal e-skin will mimic (模仿) the many natural functions of human skim such as sensing temperature and touch, accurately and in real time' 'says leading researcher Yichen Cai However,making suitably flexible electronics that can perform such delicate tasks while also used repeatedly is challenging, and each material involved must be carefully engineered.

Most e-skins are made by putting an active sensor on the surface that attaches to human skin.However, the connection between them is often too weak, which reduces the durability and sensitivity of the material; otherwise, if it is too strong, it won't be flexible enough, making it more likely to break the circuit.

"The landscape of skin electronics keeps shifting at a remarkable pace," says Cai. "The discovery of 2D sensors has accelerated efforts to turn these quite thin but strong materials into functional durable artificial skins."

The new man-made skin built by the researchers could sense objects from 20 centimeters away. It could further make a quick response when touched in less than one tenth of a second“It is a striking achievement for an e-skin to maintain toughness after repeated use," said Shen,“which mimics the softness and rapid recovery of human skin."

This type of e-skin could monitor a range of biological information such as changes in blood pressure, which can be detected from movements of arms and legs. This data can then be shared and stored on the cloud via WiFi.

"One remaining problem to the widespread use of c-skins lies in mass production of high-resolution (分辨率) sensors," adds group leader Vincent Tung, "however, the latest technology offers new promise."

32 What's the feature of the new c-skin?

A. ht can store information.       B. It's quite hard and tough,

C. It can replace human skin.      D. It's flexible and sensitive

33. Why does the author mention "most e-skins" in paragraph 3?

A To introduce the popularity of e-skins.     B. To stress the challenges of making e-skins.

C. To show the process of making e-skins.    D. To compare the similarity between c-skins.

34. What can the new e-skin do?

A. Adjust the blood pressure.      B. Sense the outside temperature.

C. Work as a remote controller.     D. Recover the wounded skin.

35. What is the best title for the text?

A. Breakthrough in Hi-tech        B. E-skin, A Promising Business

C. Man -made Skin, Improved      D. The Widespread Use of E-skin

A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house that people hardly visited. The

house was very old and the owner hardly ever came out. When he did come out he would not say hello to neighbors or passers-by but simply just glare at them.

The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man The boy's parents told him to stay away from the house. A lot of the other neighborhood children were told the same from their parents.

As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. " What do you want?" the old man said.The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota(份额) to meet for school with selling the magazines.

"Uh, sir, I uh am selling these magazines and uh I was wondering if you would like to buy one."The old man just stared at the boy. The boy could see inside the old man's house and saw that he had dog figurines(小狗雕像) on the wall "Do you collect dogs?" the little boy asked. "Yes, I have many collections in my house. They are my family here. They are all I have." The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul "Well, I do have a magazine here for collectors. It is perfect for you.I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much." The old man was ready to close the door on the boy and said, "No, boy. I don't need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye."

The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the big house that he owned. The boy went home and then had an idea.He had a little dog figurine that he got some years ago from an aunt. The figurine did not mean nearly as much to him since he had a real live dog and a large family.
