Edinburgh Castle

Edinburgh Castle comprises 27 buildings on top of an extinct volcano．It was home to many kings and queens．But old roofs and rainwater management systems will become insufficient as they will be unable to deal with the level of storm water associated with extreme weather events．Besides，if temperatures continue to rise，the rate of decay(腐烂)will increase further．

The Mosque City of Bagherat was once a lost city．It has many Muslim buildings，bridges，roads and palaces．A recent report stressed the increasing impacts of sea level rise and changes in salinity(盐度)on this community．Increased salinity not only makes much of the water undrinkable but damages structures．

Chan Chan

Looking for a place to take a rest，sip a cup of coffee and have a furry companion? Welcome to animal-themed cafes．

In recent years，the combination of pets and catering has become incredibly popular in many cities throughout China．While many cafes started out offering the company of cats and dogs，others are expanding their range．Some cafes include animals like squirrels，raccoons and even capybaras．

In reviews，internet users have commented that their main reason for visiting these businesses is to interact closely with animals they have only seen from afar．

“The customers love animals．They are curious about these pets and want to raise one at home，but circumstances don’t allow it，”said pet cafe owner Tian Rui，Liu Jing，a Beijing resident who works in finance，loves pigs，but her parents would not endorse her getting one as a pet．The 24-year-old had to admire the animals through videos and images．But now，she can have close contact with an adorable pig every weekend in a pet cafe．

Also，these pet cafes serve as a shelter for those who find comfort in being around animals．“In this place，you can get close to the cute little ones in a very comfortable way without having to worry about safety and hygiene(卫生)—overall，it is an extremely comfortable experience，”said Zhao Ming from Tianjin，30，a frequent pet cafe visitor．

Animal lovers also expect the pet cafes to change people’s attitudes toward pets．Animals like ducks，pigs and sheep have been served as food for many years．People hardly see them as pets．But the pet cafes help shift their attitude from seeing them as playthings to regarding them as family members or close friends．

“Whether at home or in stores，these little animals are there for companionship and they bring warmth to our hearts．They care and understand just like family members．They give us much more than the love we give to them，”Zhao said．

Singapore researchers say they have developed a form of electronic skin that can create a sense of touch．They hope their invention will give people with prosthetic hands(假肢)the ability to identify different objects．

The skin device measures 1 square centimeter．The system contains 100 small sensors that attempt to recreate things like texture(质地)，temperature and even pain．The researchers call the device Asynchronous Coded Electronic Skin(ACES)，which can process information faster than the human’s nervous system．Machine learning methods trained the device to recognize 20 to 30 different textures．It can even correctly read Braille letters(布莱叶盲文)most of the time．

The system does not require the users’movement to work．They just need to slide to feel texture．But in this case the skin，with just a single touch，is able to detect textures of different roughness．

A demonstration showed that the device could identify the difference between a soft ball and a solid plastic one．“When you lose your sense of touch，you essentially become numb and prosthetic users face that problem，”said Benjamin Tee，leader of the research team．“So by recreating an artificial version of the skin for their prosthetic devices，they can hold a hand and feel the warmth and feel that it is soft．”

Tee said his idea for the device came from the movie Star Wars，when character Luke Skywalker loses his right hand and it is replaced with a robotic one．In the film，the new hand is able to experience touch sensations just like the real one．

The artificial skin technology is still going through experiments and development．But Tee said there had already been a lot of interest in the system，especially from the medical community．Tee said similar inventions that his team has developed include see-through skin that can repair itself when torn and a material for wearable electronic devices that gives off light．

12．What can we learn about the artificial skin in Paragraph 2?

A．It is sensitive to high temperature．    B．It reacts faster than our nervous system．

C．It can recognize different objects．  D．It helps the users memorize Braille letters．

13．What can be inferred from Benjamin Tee’s words?

A．The artificial skin feels like a real thing．

B．People with the artificial skin feel warm．

C．People don’t want to lose the sense of touch．

D．He is sympathetic towards the prosthetic users．

14．What inspired Benjamin Tee to create the artificial skin?

A．The desire to help those in need．     B．The life of the disabled．

C．A dream of earning more money．  D．A scene from a famous movie．

1 5．Which word can best describe the artificial skin technology?

A．Profitable．     B．Stable．      C．Promising．  D．Challenging．

The carbon footprint shows how much carbon dioxide a person emits(排放)in everyday life．It measures the amount offossil(化石)fuels and electricity someone uses up as well as the carbon footprint of the products they buy．When we use our cars or heat our homes with carbon dioxide，various other gases are set free． 16

You can measure your carbon footprint by using a calculator that you can find on various websites．17  In America for example，every citizen produces about 28 tons of carbon dioxide and other dangerous gases a year；in Great Britain the amount is about 10 tons．

 18  The way we travel，for example，has a major effect on our environment．Use your bike or walk for short distances．Public transport is a way of getting to places without putting a burden on the environment．19  Many environmental experts，however，argue that it often saves energy to buy food that is produced naturally in faraway places than consuming food grown locally in greenhouses．In your home you can contribute to saving energy by turning off lights if you don’t need them or by avoiding the use of air conditioners．Recycling plastic glass and paper can also reduce your carbon footprint dramatically．

 20  Only if we concentrate on reducing carbon emissions together can we hope to make our environment better．   

A．Many people travel between cities and suburbs every day．

B．The carbon footprint is usually measured in tons of CO2 per year．

C．These emissions lead to a thicker atmosphere and global warming．   

D．It is also vital to persuade others to take the same steps that you do．  

E．There are many actions you can take to reduce your carbon footprint．

F．The websites also provide carbon storage tools and methods for individuals．

G．Buying local food is another way of restricting emission into the atmosphere．

    阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When there was news that a storm was coming，Sarah didn’t think much about it．She simply shrugged it off like any other normal day．When she went to the grocery store and saw that it was full，she still didn’t worry．

People ran like mad between aisles(过道)，grabbing what they could．Bare shelves and long lines made Sarah chuckle(窃笑)．They must be overreacting，she thought．

On her way home，she looked overhead．Dark clouds were indeed forming．And they seemed to be moving quickly across the sky．Still，Sarah was not bothered．The rain would be nice since it had been warm lately．

When she got home，Sarah made popcorn and sat on the sofa with her dog，Cooper，and got ready to watch a movie．Just as she hit play on the remote，she heard the thunder．Rain started to come down hard，making it almost impossible to see the trees in her front yard through the window．Cooper immediately jumped from the sofa，barking in fear in the corner．

“It’s OK．”Sarah said．She moved to one side and saw Cooper looked a bit nervous．Sarah turned off the movie and instead skipped to the local news station．The storm was much more serious than she had thought．People in a nearby city even said they spotted a tornado．The reporter advised people to stay inside and secure all of the doors and windows．

Sarah got up and began making her way around the house．Cooper followed close behind as she checked a11 of the windows to make sure they were all fully closed．By the time she got back to her sofa，the rain had stopped．“That wasn’t so bad，”Sarah said aloud．“Just a nice shower．”

She turned to cooper，who had gone back to the corner and still looked a bit frightened．She looked outside．It was actually very calm，but she could see that the wind was picking up．The branches of the trees were swinging and the garbage bin had tipped over．
