Emily Egan was born and raised in Essex, United Kingdom and speaks no foreign language, but hearing her speak, you could swear she's a Russian immigrant(移民)or a tourist, because of her Eastern European accent. But the funny thing is that she sometimes sounds French, Italian or even Polish, depending on how tired she is.
31 -year-old Emily's life changed greatly in January, when a mysterious condition left her unable to speak for two months. She’d had headaches for two weeks before one day developing a deeper voice suddenly. Her colleagues at a children's home then noticed her speech had become slow and unclear, both signs of a stroke(中风). By the time she was rushed to the hospital, Emily had lost her ability to speak completely, but after running some tests, doctors ruled out the stroke, instead blaming her voice loss on some sort of injury to her brain.
After spending three weeks in the hospital, Emily Egan was still unable to speak and relied only on basic sign language she’d picked up at work and a text-to-speech app on her phone to communicate. A doctor encouraged her to go on a vacation in Thailand she and her husband had already booked, and to try and relax as much as possible. She did just that and a few days into the vacation, she started to speak again.
"I was so thrilled when my voice started coming back but now I don’t even discern the voice that comes out of my mouth. It doesn't sound like me," Egan said. Ever since her voice came back, she's taken time off work because stress only makes her condition worse.
What has happened to Emily sounds shockingly similar to that of Michelle Myers, an Arizona woman who never traveled outside of America, but woke up to speaking with many accents-British, Irish and Australian-after experiencing severe headaches.
24. Why is Emily Egan considered a Russian immigrant?
A. She resembles a Russian very much.
B. She speaks Russian like a native speaker.
C. She speaks English with a Russian accent.
D. She can freely switch between English and Russian.
25. What resulted in Emily’s inability to speak?
A. Brain injury. B. A sudden stroke.
C. Long-term tiredness. D. Serious headaches.
26. The underlined word "discern" in paragraph 4 most probably means " ".
A. control B. ignore C. transform D. recognize
27. What can be inferred about Emily from the text?
A. She has already returned to work.
B. Her case isn't alone in the world.
C. She learned sign language after her voice loss.
D. Her voice returned after three weeks' treatment.
C
A relative of starfish doesn't have eyes, but can sill see. That information comes from scientists who studied sea creatures in the coral reefs of the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico.
The researchers reported this month that the starfish’s relative-called the red brittle star-is only the second creature known to be able to see without having eyes. This ability is call extraocular vision(眼外视觉). The other creature said to have extraocular vision is a kind of sea urchin.
Brittle stars, with five arms extending from a central disk, are part of a group of sea life called echinoderms. They have a nervous system but no brain. The red brittle star measures up to about 35 centimeters wide, from the end of one arm to the other. It lives in bright and complex environments. Because of the possibility of being eaten by fish, the creature hides during daylight hours.
The red brittles star possesses extraocular vision as a result of light-sensing cells, called photoreceptors. These photoreceptors cover its body and chromatophores, the cells responsible for coloring. During the daytime, the chromatophores narrow the field of light being detected, making each photoreceptors like the pixel(像素) of a computer image. When combined with other pixels, the image becomes complete.
The visual system doesn't work at night. Laboratory experiments suggested that the brittle stars have very simple vision. Placed in a circular environment, for example, they moved toward walls that were white with a black bar, suggestive of al daytime hiding place.
Lauren Sumner-Rooney is a research fellow at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. She led the study. She said, "It's such a different concept for us, as very visually driven animals, to imagine how an animal might see its habitat without eyes, but now we know of two examples."
28. What's researchers' new finding about the red brittle star?
A. It is a relative of starfish. B. It lives in the coral reefs.
C. It has a very rare ability. D. It is a sea creature.
29. What’s the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 3?
A. To give: reasons why the brittle star has no brain.
B. To make a general introduction of the brittle star.
C. To stress the role the brittle star plays in the sea.
D. To explain why the brittle star keeps a unique lifestyle.
30. According to the text, photoreceptors .
A. spread on the surface of the red brittle star B. function normally even in the nighttime
C. control the field of light being detected D. serve as cells responsible for coloring
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. How Sea Creature Finds Its Habitat Underwater B. How Sea Creature's Visual System Works
C. Sea Creature Finds New Habitat D. Sea Creature Sees Without Eyes
D
A research team led by UCLA materials scientists has shown ways to make super white paint that reflects as much as 98% of incoming heat from the sun. The advance shows practical pathways for designing paints that, if used on rooftops and other parts of a building, could greatly reduce cooling costs, beyond what standard white cool-roof paints can achieve.
"When you wear a white T-shirt on a hot sunny day, you feel cooler than if you wear one that's darker in color- that's because the white shirt reflects more sunlight and it’s the same concept for buildings," said Aaswath Raman, a researcher of the study. "A roof painted white will be cooler inside than one in a darker shade by rejecting heat at infrared(红外线的) wavelengths, which we humans cannot see with our eyes. This super white paint could allow buildings to cool down even more by radiative(辐射的) cooling."
The best performing white paints now available typically reflect around 85% of incoming sun heat. The remainder is absorbed by the chemical makeup of the paint. The researchers showed that simple changes in a paint's ingredients could offer a big jump, reflecting as much as 98% of incoming radiation. The potential cooling benefits this super white paint can achieve may be realized in the near future because the changes suggested are within the abilities of the paint and coatings industry.
Many cities and governments, including the stale of California and New York City, have started to encourage cool-roof technologies for new buildings. "We hope that the work will inspire future creativity in super-white coatings for not only energy savings in buildings, but also lessening the heat island effects of cities, and perhaps even showing a practical way that, if applied globally, could affect climate change," said Raman, who has studied cooling paint technologies for several years, "This would require experts in diverse fields to work together."
32. What’s the function of the super white paint?
A. Reflecting all the sun heat. B. Lowering building costs.
C. Keeping buildings cool. D. Absorbing heat quickly.
33. How does Aaswath Raman explain the working principle of the paint?
A. By telling a story. B. By listing scientific data.
C. By conducting a11 experiment. D. By making a similar comparison.
34. What can be inferred about the super white paint from the text?
A. It is completely chemical free. B. It is still unavailable in the market.
C. Its ingredients still need improving. D. Is effects have been greatly improved.
35. What do Raman’s words in the last paragraph imply about the work?
A. He has high expectations of it. B. He urges greater attention to it.
C. He believes it can stop climate change. D. He thinks it's easy to carry out worldwide.
