Slar Panels
While bth slar panels and plant leaves harvest energy frm the sun, a team at Princetn University tk bimimicry (仿生学) in slar panels a step further by adding flds t slar cells. The flds lk like the natural wrinkles fund in leaves, channeling mre light int the cell. The researchers claimed in 2015 that the leaf-like cells generated 47 percent mre electricity than thse withut flds.
Self-Cleaning Paint
The surface f the ltus (莲) plant’s leaves gets rid f dirt and water s well that this self-cleaning quality was named the “ltus effect” in 1977. In 1999, the German building cmpany St released an utdr paint called Ltusan. When dried, the paint’s surface is similar t that f the ltus leaf t shed water and dirt ff immediately.
Bullet Trains
The Shinkansen Bullet Train in Japan is knwn fr its aerdynamic shape that decreases the amunt f sund the train makes while entering and exiting tunnels at speeds f 150 t 200 mph. The trains were mdeled n a bird that hunts fish by diving int bdies f water. The shape f the train als allws it t travel 10 percent faster with abut 15 percent less electricity.
Wetsuits
Unlike whales, beavers (河狸) dn’t have layers f fat t keep them warm when they dive int icy water. Instead, their thick fur traps air amng the individual hairs, keeping the mammals warm and dry. In 2016,a team f engineers at MIT sught t cpy this quality in a wetsuit cvered with rubber “hairs”, specifically designed fr watersprts athletes like surfers. Just like beavers, the athletes wuld be kept warm by hair trapped n the utside f the suit.
1. Which item is a brainchild f a German cmpany?

C. Bullet Trains.D. Wetsuits.
2. Hw des a wetsuit keep watersprts athletes warm?
A. By shedding water immediately.B. By thickening the layers f the suit.
C. By adding special hairs t trap heat.D. By self-heating the utside f the suit.
3. What d these inventins have in cmmn?
A. They are nature -inspired.B. They increase fuel efficiency.
C. They are envirnmentally-friendly.D. They generate n ecnmic returns.

“Animal Cntrl. Hw can I help yu?” a deep vice ran thrugh the phne receiver.
Earlier that mrning. I’d been n my way t meet a friend fr breakfast. Driving dwn a lng stretch f rad that cnnected tw neighbrhds, there was nthing but tall trees and grassy areas. Then, I caught sight f a furry brwn, black and white tail mving in the wind n the side f the rad.
Thrughut breakfast, I culdn’t get the animal ff my mind. I named him Fluffy. Perhaps it was smene’s lving cat r dg. Maybe a fx? I wasn’t sure. But it might be wunded and needed help. I called Animal Cntrl.
The next day, I was curius t find ut if Animal Cntrl had fund sweet Fluffy, s I called fr an update. The same gentleman tld me that he drve by the area but didn’t see any sign f an animal. I hung up the phne, feeling relieved.
I grabbed my purse and headed ut the dr. I had a full day ahead f me. Feeling gd, I turned n the radi in my car and started singing alng at the tp f my lungs—until I saw Fluffy! There he was, farther dwn the rad, half behind sme brush with his tail sticking ut and mving.
I eased my way int a parking space, and dialed Animal Cntrl nce again. I prmised t meet the man the lcatin where I last saw the animal.
Abut ten minutes later, the twnship Animal Cntrl truck pull up behind my car. I pinted t the brush. T take a better lk, the man walked tward Fluffy. When he came back, he laughed s heartily that I thught: Hw rude! Then he shwed me Fluffy”, “Meet Fluffy, a 100-percent-cttn pmpm (绒球) cap!”
My face must have been as red as his red pl shirt. Fluffy was a hat!
4. Why did the authr call Animal Cntrl that mrning?

Abut a year and a half ag, Patrick Dherty fund ut he had a rare, but disastrus inherited disease—knwn as transthyretin amylidsis—that had killed his father. A misshapen prtein was building up in his bdy, destrying imprtant tissues. Victims f this disease ften die a difficult death.
S Dherty was thrilled when he fund ut that dctrs were testing a new way t try t treat amylidsis. The apprach used a revlutinary gene-editing technique called CRISPR, which allws scientists t make very precise changes in DNA. On Saturday, researchers reprted the first data indicating that the experimental treatment wrked, causing levels f the destructive prtein t decrease in Dherty’s bdy.
CRISPR has already been shwn t help sme patients. And dctrs are trying t use it t treat cancer and t restre visin t peple blinded by a rare genetic disrder. But thse experiments invlve taking cells ut f the bdy, editing them in the lab, and putting them back in r injecting CRISPR directly int cells that need fixing.
The study Dherty vlunteered fr is the first in which dctrs are simply putting the gene-editr directly int patients and letting it find its wn way t the right gene in the right cells. In this case, it’s cells in the liver making the destructive prtein.
“It really is exciting,” says Dr. Julian Gillmre, wh is leading the study at the University Cllege Lndn, Ryal Free Hspital. “This has the ptential t cmpletely revlutinize the utcme fr these patients wh have lived with this disease in their family fr many generatins.” The patients will have t be fllwed lnger, and mre patients will have t be treated, t make sure the treatment’s safe, and determine hw much it’s helping. Gillmre stresses.
The prmising results ptentially pen the dr fr using the same apprach t treatment f many ther, mre cmmn diseases fr which taking cells ut f the bdy r directly injecting CRISPR isn’t realistic, including heart disease and brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
8. Why is Patrick Dherty mentined in the text?
A. T prve a new treatment wrked well.
B. T shw hw CRISPR was carried ut.
C. T prvide backgrund infrmatin f CRISPR.
D. T intrduce a disease requiring urgent attentin.
9. What is special abut the study Dherty vlunteered fr?
A. It’s the first gene-editing experiment.
B. CRISPR was injected int the liver cells.
C. Dherty’s cells were taken ut f his bdy.
D. Gene-editrs were put directly int the patient.
10. What des Dr. Julian Gillmre think f the results f the study?
A. It hlds great prmise.B. It’s far frm satisfactry.
C. It wn’t bring abut any danger.D. It shuld be put int use immediately.
11. What’s the last paragraph talking abut?
A. Faults f CRISPR.B. Results f the study.
C. Prspects f the study.D. Applicatins f CRISPR.

Mst f us are familiar with the cncept f six degrees f separatin — the idea is that anyne in the planet can be cnnected t anyne else in just six steps. But is there actually any science t back up this cmmnly cited thery?
If yu just take a lk at the fllwing numbers, the six degrees f separatin idea seems pretty plausible. Assuming everyne knws at least 44 peple, and that each f thse peple knws an entirely new 44 peple, and s n, the math shws that in just six steps everyne culd be cnnected t 446, r 7.26 billin peple — mre than are alive n Earth tday.
But this idea wasn’t scientifically tested until the 1960s, when a psychlgist sent 300 packages ut t peple in Nebraska and Bstn, and asked them t use their netwrks t get them back t ne specific target — a stckbrker (股票经纪人) living in Bstn. They weren’t asked t frward it t him directly, but t send it t smene they knew n a first name basis, with instructins fr that persn t frward it n t smene in their netwrk that they thught might knw the stckbrker.
Only 64 f thse packages actually reached the target, with an average path length f just 5.2 intermediary (中间人) cnnectins, and this experiment was used as evidence fr six degrees f separatin, r the “small wrld phenmenn”, as the researcher called it.
But Derek Muller, a researcher, dug a little deeper, and fund that, f the riginal 300 packages, 100 were sent t peple already living in Bstn (where the target als lives) and 100 were sent t stckbrkers wh shared a prfessin with the target, s there were really nly 100 purely randm packages sent ut. And f thse 100, nly 18 made it back t the target. “S we’re talking abut a sample size f 18 — that’s all the evidence there was fr six degrees f separatin,” Derek explains.
12. What des the underlined wrd “plausible” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Reasnable.B. Absurd.C. Unbelievable.D. Original.
13. Hw were the subjects expected t get the package t the target in the experiment?
A. By entrusting the delivery t 5.2 intermediaries.
B. By delivering it in persn as quickly as pssible.
C. By passing it n t the target in the shrtest time.
D. By frwarding it in the shrtest intermediary-chain.
14. What can be inferred frm Dereck’s remark?
A. The cncept didn’t exist at all.
B. The experiment prvided slid evidence.
C. The sample size was t small t be useful.
D. The experiment was carried ut scientifically.
15. Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A. Hw t Play Six Degrees f Separatin in Our Real Life?
B. Six Degrees f Separatin: An Thery Funded by Derek
C. Are We Really All Cnnected by Six Degrees f Separatin?
D. Six Degrees f Separatin: Scientists Find a Smaller Number

I used t be very active in sprts and games when I was in primary schl. As a result, I was chsen t represent the schl in the lng jump and relay events at the District Sprts Meet. I prmised myself I wuld make every effrt s as nt t leave the meet empty-handed.
The meeting lasted tw days. Our events were scheduled fr the secnd day. The lng jump was scheduled fr the early afternn， fllwed by the 8 x 50m relay later in the afternn. I thught I was a pretty gd jumper, but as the cmpetitin began, I realized I was vastly utclassed. 3. 65m was nt bad. But there was by wh jumped ver 4 meters! We finished ur jumps，and I came in furth place， just missing ut n a medal. That was disappinting, but I reminded myself that we still had a chance in the 8 X 50m relay，fr which I was assigned t run the last leg.
The race was abut t begin. We filed int ur assigned spts and prepared fr the race. After a tense minute r s, I heard the starter’s gun g ff.

Slar Panels
While bth slar panels and plant leaves harvest energy frm the sun, a team at Princetn University tk bimimicry (仿生学) in slar panels a step further by adding flds t slar cells. The flds lk like the natural wrinkles fund in leaves, channeling mre light int the cell. The researchers claimed in 2015 that the leaf-like cells generated 47 percent mre electricity than thse withut flds.
Self-Cleaning Paint
The surface f the ltus (莲) plant’s leaves gets rid f dirt and water s well that this self-cleaning quality was named the “ltus effect” in 1977. In 1999, the German building cmpany St released an utdr paint called Ltusan. When dried, the paint’s surface is similar t that f the ltus leaf t shed water and dirt ff immediately.
Bullet Trains
The Shinkansen Bullet Train in Japan is knwn fr its aerdynamic shape that decreases the amunt f sund the train makes while entering and exiting tunnels at speeds f 150 t 200 mph. The trains were mdeled n a bird that hunts fish by diving int bdies f water. The shape f the train als allws it t travel 10 percent faster with abut 15 percent less electricity.
Wetsuits
Unlike whales, beavers (河狸) dn’t have layers f fat t keep them warm when they dive int icy water. Instead, their thick fur traps air amng the individual hairs, keeping the mammals warm and dry. In 2016,a team f engineers at MIT sught t cpy this quality in a wetsuit cvered with rubber “hairs”, specifically designed fr watersprts athletes like surfers. Just like beavers, the athletes wuld be kept warm by hair trapped n the utside f the suit.
1. Which item is a brainchild f a German cmpany?

“Animal Cntrl. Hw can I help yu?” a deep vice ran thrugh the phne receiver.
Earlier that mrning. I’d been n my way t meet a friend fr breakfast. Driving dwn a lng stretch f rad that cnnected tw neighbrhds, there was nthing but tall trees and grassy areas. Then, I caught sight f a furry brwn, black and white tail mving in the wind n the side f the rad.
Thrughut breakfast, I culdn’t get the animal ff my mind. I named him Fluffy. Perhaps it was smene’s lving cat r dg. Maybe a fx? I wasn’t sure. But it might be wunded and needed help. I called Animal Cntrl.
The next day, I was curius t find ut if Animal Cntrl had fund sweet Fluffy, s I called fr an update. The same gentleman tld me that he drve by the area but didn’t see any sign f an animal. I hung up the phne, feeling relieved.
I grabbed my purse and headed ut the dr. I had a full day ahead f me. Feeling gd, I turned n the radi in my car and started singing alng at the tp f my lungs—until I saw Fluffy! There he was, farther dwn the rad, half behind sme brush with his tail sticking ut and mving.
I eased my way int a parking space, and dialed Animal Cntrl nce again. I prmised t meet the man the lcatin where I last saw the animal.
Abut ten minutes later, the twnship Animal Cntrl truck pull up behind my car. I pinted t the brush. T take a better lk, the man walked tward Fluffy. When he came back, he laughed s heartily that I thught: Hw rude! Then he shwed me Fluffy”, “Meet Fluffy, a 100-percent-cttn pmpm (绒球) cap!”
My face must have been as red as his red pl shirt. Fluffy was a hat!
4. Why did the authr call Animal Cntrl that mrning?

Abut a year and a half ag, Patrick Dherty fund ut he had a rare, but disastrus inherited disease—knwn as transthyretin amylidsis—that had killed his father. A misshapen prtein was building up in his bdy, destrying imprtant tissues. Victims f this disease ften die a difficult death.
S Dherty was thrilled when he fund ut that dctrs were testing a new way t try t treat amylidsis. The apprach used a revlutinary gene-editing technique called CRISPR, which allws scientists t make very precise changes in DNA. On Saturday, researchers reprted the first data indicating that the experimental treatment wrked, causing levels f the destructive prtein t decrease in Dherty’s bdy.
CRISPR has already been shwn t help sme patients. And dctrs are trying t use it t treat cancer and t restre visin t peple blinded by a rare genetic disrder. But thse experiments invlve taking cells ut f the bdy, editing them in the lab, and putting them back in r injecting CRISPR directly int cells that need fixing.
The study Dherty vlunteered fr is the first in which dctrs are simply putting the gene-editr directly int patients and letting it find its wn way t the right gene in the right cells. In this case, it’s cells in the liver making the destructive prtein.
“It really is exciting,” says Dr. Julian Gillmre, wh is leading the study at the University Cllege Lndn, Ryal Free Hspital. “This has the ptential t cmpletely revlutinize the utcme fr these patients wh have lived with this disease in their family fr many generatins.” The patients will have t be fllwed lnger, and mre patients will have t be treated, t make sure the treatment’s safe, and determine hw much it’s helping. Gillmre stresses.
The prmising results ptentially pen the dr fr using the same apprach t treatment f many ther, mre cmmn diseases fr which taking cells ut f the bdy r directly injecting CRISPR isn’t realistic, including heart disease and brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
8. Why is Patrick Dherty mentined in the text?
A. T prve a new treatment wrked well.
B. T shw hw CRISPR was carried ut.
C. T prvide backgrund infrmatin f CRISPR.
D. T intrduce a disease requiring urgent attentin.
9. What is special abut the study Dherty vlunteered fr?
A. It’s the first gene-editing experiment.
B. CRISPR was injected int the liver cells.
C. Dherty’s cells were taken ut f his bdy.
D. Gene-editrs were put directly int the patient.
10. What des Dr. Julian Gillmre think f the results f the study?
A. It hlds great prmise.B. It’s far frm satisfactry.
C. It wn’t bring abut any danger.D. It shuld be put int use immediately.
11. What’s the last paragraph talking abut?
A. Faults f CRISPR.B. Results f the study.
C. Prspects f the study.D. Applicatins f CRISPR.

Mst f us are familiar with the cncept f six degrees f separatin — the idea is that anyne in the planet can be cnnected t anyne else in just six steps. But is there actually any science t back up this cmmnly cited thery?
If yu just take a lk at the fllwing numbers, the six degrees f separatin idea seems pretty plausible. Assuming everyne knws at least 44 peple, and that each f thse peple knws an entirely new 44 peple, and s n, the math shws that in just six steps everyne culd be cnnected t 446, r 7.26 billin peple — mre than are alive n Earth tday.
But this idea wasn’t scientifically tested until the 1960s, when a psychlgist sent 300 packages ut t peple in Nebraska and Bstn, and asked them t use their netwrks t get them back t ne specific target — a stckbrker (股票经纪人) living in Bstn. They weren’t asked t frward it t him directly, but t send it t smene they knew n a first name basis, with instructins fr that persn t frward it n t smene in their netwrk that they thught might knw the stckbrker.
Only 64 f thse packages actually reached the target, with an average path length f just 5.2 intermediary (中间人) cnnectins, and this experiment was used as evidence fr six degrees f separatin, r the “small wrld phenmenn”, as the researcher called it.
But Derek Muller, a researcher, dug a little deeper, and fund that, f the riginal 300 packages, 100 were sent t peple already living in Bstn (where the target als lives) and 100 were sent t stckbrkers wh shared a prfessin with the target, s there were really nly 100 purely randm packages sent ut. And f thse 100, nly 18 made it back t the target. “S we’re talking abut a sample size f 18 — that’s all the evidence there was fr six degrees f separatin,” Derek explains.
12. What des the underlined wrd “plausible” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Reasnable.B. Absurd.C. Unbelievable.D. Original.
13. Hw were the subjects expected t get the package t the target in the experiment?
A. By entrusting the delivery t 5.2 intermediaries.
B. By delivering it in persn as quickly as pssible.
C. By passing it n t the target in the shrtest time.
D. By frwarding it in the shrtest intermediary-chain.
14. What can be inferred frm Dereck’s remark?
A. The cncept didn’t exist at all.
B. The experiment prvided slid evidence.
C. The sample size was t small t be useful.
D. The experiment was carried ut scientifically.
15. Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A. Hw t Play Six Degrees f Separatin in Our Real Life?
B. Six Degrees f Separatin: An Thery Funded by Derek
C. Are We Really All Cnnected by Six Degrees f Separatin?
D. Six Degrees f Separatin: Scientists Find a Smaller Number

I used t be very active in sprts and games when I was in primary schl. As a result, I was chsen t represent the schl in the lng jump and relay events at the District Sprts Meet. I prmised myself I wuld make every effrt s as nt t leave the meet empty-handed.
The meeting lasted tw days. Our events were scheduled fr the secnd day. The lng jump was scheduled fr the early afternn， fllwed by the 8 x 50m relay later in the afternn. I thught I was a pretty gd jumper, but as the cmpetitin began, I realized I was vastly utclassed. 3. 65m was nt bad. But there was by wh jumped ver 4 meters! We finished ur jumps，and I came in furth place， just missing ut n a medal. That was disappinting, but I reminded myself that we still had a chance in the 8 X 50m relay，fr which I was assigned t run the last leg.
The race was abut t begin. We filed int ur assigned spts and prepared fr the race. After a tense minute r s, I heard the starter’s gun g ff. When the first runners tk ff, I watched with bated breath (屏住呼吸地) as my team runners kept up with the thers. As they gt clser, I realized we were at least in secnd place.
Then came my turn. I tk the batn (接力棒) cleanly and began my run. The air rushed past me as I mved clser t the next runner. I was sure the medal which we dreamed f was within easy reach.
