Five times strnger than steel, spider silk's unique qualities were recgnised by the Ancient Greeks - and mre recently, scientists have lked at applicatins frm medicine t engineering.
Nw, ne Japanese startup, Spiber, is explring hw spider webs culd transfrm the clthing industry. The bitech cmpany started by making a spider-silk-like material in the lab and has since expanded its fabric range t include mre sustainable alternatives t wl and cashmere, says Kenji Higashi, head f business develpment at Spiber.
Spiders create webs by giving ut liquid prtein that will later change int silk, Kazuhide Sekiyama and junichi sugahara, Spiber's funders, decided t create a material that is identical t spider silk. They studied “thusands f different spider species,” as well as ther silk-prducing species, and cllected a database f silk varieties.
Having successfully prduced the spider silk alternative, the team went n t develp a range f fabrics by changing the prtein rder. Spiber's fibers are made by fermenting (发酵) water, sugar and nutrients with specially mdified micrbes(改良微生物) in steel tanks t prduce prtein plymers t be made int a fiber. Later, the team discvered that the spider silk alternative shrinks (收缩) when wet, s they mdified the prtein t get a fiber with desirable prperties, such as water prf and increased strength, which is suitable fr an utdr jacket.
Fashin is ne f the mst plluting industries in the wrld. It prduces arund 2.1 billin metric tns f CO₂ every year. Higashi says Spiber's bidegradable prducts are predicted t generate just ne-fifth f the carbn emissins f animal-based fibers nce they are in mass prductin. And it is nw develping a prcess that will transfrm abandned clthes made frm natural materials like cttn int the sugars needed fr fermentatin.
Currently trying t expand its prductin and getting ready fr a full cmmercial launch f its prducts, Spiber hpes its technlgy will help t “slve sme f the big glbal challenges that we're facing,” says Higashi.
28. What is a primary purpse f Spiber's research in the lab?
A. T develp new applicatins f spider silk. B.T invent a replacement fr spider silk.
C.T transfrm the structure f spider silk. D. T study silk-prducing spider species.
29. Hw did the team address the shrinking prblem?
A. By adapting the prtein. B. By diversifying micrbes.
C. By wetting the fiber. D. By lengthening fermenting time.
30. What can best describe Spiber's prducts?
A. Fancy and stylish. B. Cstly yet prfitable.
C. Strng and sustainable. D. Lightweight yet resurce-cnsuming.
31. What are the last tw paragraphs mainly abut?
A. The practical applicatin f Spiber's prducts.
B. The envirnmental value f Spiber's prducts.
C. The technical challenges f Spiber's prducts.
D. The ptential markets f Spiber's prducts.

The team said Luise's results represent the lngest-lasting scial memry dcumented in any nn-human animal t date.
“We tend t see urselves as unique special creatures with incredible intellectual (智力的) capacities that are very different frm ther animals n earth,” said Laura Simne Lewis, a pstdctral fellw in Berkeley's psychlgy department and lead authr f the study. “This study is shwing us hw similar we are t chimpanzees.” She nted that the findings supprt the thery that lng-term scial memry in humans and mdern day chimps has cme frm “ur last cmmn ancestr that lived smewhere between 5 t 7 millin years ag” wh als likely had lng-term scial memry.
Nw that they have definitive evidence that these endangered species pssess lng-term scial memries, researchers have mre questins, including whether chimpanzees miss the individuals they're n lnger with, especially their friends and family. “Our study desn't determine they are ding this, but it raises questins abut the pssibility that they may have the ability t d s,” Lewis said.
32. What is paragraph 2 mainly abut?

Urban agriculture, the practice f farming within the restrictins f a city, is becming increasingly ppular and is viewed as a sustainable alternative t big industrial farms. By sme estimates, between 20% and 30% f the glbal urban ppulatin engages in sme frm f urban agriculture. But until recently, its carbn ftprint remains understudied.
Using data frm 73 lw-tech city farms, cmmunity gardens and persnal plts f land, Newell and his team cmpared the average carbn emissins f fd prduced at lw-tech urban agriculture sites t thse f cnventinally grwn crps. The team fund that because f urban gardens’ relatively lw yields, alng with the energy used in cnstructing the planting beds, big-city spuds (马铃薯) were significantly mre carbn-intensive than cmmercially grwn nes. This held true even when the researchers factred in emissins frm transprting cmmercially grwn prduce t ften distant grcery stres. That desn’t mean that grwing vegetables in big cities is ttally bad, hwever. “Urban farming is great, ” if imperfect, says Carla Grebitus, a fd chice expert. It can be a pwerful tl fr jb creatin and educatin, she says, and a gd way t intrduce fresh prduce t urban “fd deserts” where healthy fruits and vegetables are hard t cme by. Cmmunity gardens can als prvide a place t cnnect with nature, and the added green space can reduce the risks f heat and flding.
Cnscius f these benefits, Newell’s team highlighted several ways t make urban agriculture mre sustainable. One ptin is t be selective abut what crps are grwn. Fr instance, tmates grwn in the sil f pen-air urban plts had a lwer carbn intensity than tmates grwn in cnventinal greenhuses. Anther strategy is t rely n existing cnstructins. Include ld structures int a new garden’s design instead f taking dwn ld buildings. Finally, take the lcal climate, water quality and sil int accunt. Grwing plants that are ill-suited t an area requires mre water, energy and pesticides (杀虫剂), all f which affect the envirnment.
28. What can we knw abut urban agriculture frm paragraph 1?
A. It is thrughly researched.B. It is welcmed by city peple.
C. It is envirnmentally friendly.D. It is limited t industrial farms.
29. Hw des the authr explain the reasn fr urban agriculture’s higher carbn intensity?
A. By making a cmparisn.B. By telling a stry.
C. By giving a definitin.D. By using a qute.
30. Accrding t Carla, what is a benefit f urban agriculture?
A. It adds variety t urban peple’s diet.B. It prvides recreatinal pprtunities.
C. It strengthens the bnds f cmmunity.D. It helps t cntain drught and flding.
31. What is recmmended t make urban agriculture mre sustainable?
A. Recnstructing gardens.B. Develping greenhuse crps.
C. Selecting pesticide-free vegetables.D. Grwing plants suited t lcal cnditins.

Our species’ incredible capacity t quickly acquire wrds frm 300 by age 2 t ver 1, 000 by age 4 isn’t fully understd. Sme cgnitive scientists and linguists have therized that peple are brn with built-in expectatins and lgical cnstraints (约束) that make this pssible. Nw, hwever, machine-learning research is shwing that preprgrammed assumptins aren’t necessary t swiftly pick up wrd meanings frm minimal data.
A team f scientists has successfully trained a basic artificial intelligence mdel t match images t wrds using just 61 hurs f naturalistic ftage (镜头) and sund-previusly cllected frm a child named Sam in 2013 and 2014. Althugh it’s a small slice f a child’s life, it was apparently enugh t prmpt the AI t figure ut what certain wrds mean.
The findings suggest that language acquisitin culd be simpler than previusly thught. Maybe children “dn’t need a custm-built, high-class language-specific mechanism” t efficiently grasp wrd meanings, says Jessica Sullivan, an assciate prfessr f psychlgy at Skidmre Cllege. “This is a really beautiful study, ” she says, because it ffers evidence that simple infrmatin frm a child’s wrldview is rich enugh t kick-start pattern recgnitin and wrd cmprehensin.
The new study als demnstrates that it’s pssible fr machines t learn similarly t the way that humans d. Large language mdels are trained n enrmus amunts f data that can include billins and smetimes trillins f wrd cmbinatins. Humans get by n rders f magnitude less infrmatin, says the paper’s lead authr Wai Keen Vng. With the right type f data, that gap between machine and human learning culd narrw dramatically.
Yet additinal study is necessary in certain aspects f the new research. Fr ne, the scientists acknwledge that their findings dn’t prve hw children acquire wrds. Mrever, the study nly fcused n recgnizing the wrds fr physical bjects.
Still, it’s a step tward a deeper understanding f ur wn mind, which can ultimately help us imprve human educatin, says Eva Prtelance, a cmputatinal linguistics researcher. She ntes that AI research can als bring clarity t lng-unanswered questins abut urselves. “We can use these mdels in a gd way, t benefit science and sciety, ” Prtelance adds.
32. What is a significant finding f machine-learning research?
A. Vcabulary increases gradually with age.
B. Vcabulary can be acquired frm minimal data.
C. Language acquisitin is tied t built-in expectatins.
D. Language acquisitin is as cmplex as frmerly assumed.
33. What des the underlined wrd “prmpt” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Facilitate.B. Persuade.C. Advise.D. Expect.
34. What is discussed abut the new research in paragraph 5?
A. Its limitatins.B. Its strengths.C. Its uniqueness.D. Its prcess.
35. What is Eva Prtelance’s attitude t the AI research?
A. Dubtful.B. Cautius.C. Dismissive.D. Psitive.

“It was like a seed he planted that just wuldn’t stp cming int my mind,” she said. In 2012, Kelli Behle started Nik’s Wish. The nnprfit grants wishes t yung adults between the ages f 18 and 24 wh are battling cancer. Nate was the rganizatin’s first wish recipient. “It’s meant t bring them jy and knw that they’re lved and that we’re fighting fr them, t,” Kelli Behle said.
Recently, 19-year-ld Jrdan Mrrw received her wish t attend a Taylr Swift cncert as part f a trip t Ls Angeles. Fr Mrrw, wh has spent the last year battling brain cancer, ging t the cncert has dne mre than lift her spirits. “I think it’s smething t get me thrugh whatever cmes my way,” she said. “And I'm thankful fr Nik’s Wish fr that.”
In the 11 years since Nik passed away, the rganizatin has granted mre than 300 wishes acrss mre than 30 states. In the beginning, Kelli Behle says she wasn't sure she culd be a wish maker and wrk clsely with the yung adults. But nw, it’s her favrite thing t d.

Urban agriculture, the practice f farming within the restrictins f a city, is becming increasingly ppular and is viewed as a sustainable alternative t big industrial farms. By sme estimates, between 20% and 30% f the glbal urban ppulatin engages in sme frm f urban agriculture. But until recently, its carbn ftprint remains understudied.
Using data frm 73 lw-tech city farms, cmmunity gardens and persnal plts f land, Newell and his team cmpared the average carbn emissins f fd prduced at lw-tech urban agriculture sites t thse f cnventinally grwn crps. The team fund that because f urban gardens’ relatively lw yields, alng with the energy used in cnstructing the planting beds, big-city spuds （马铃薯） were significantly mre carbn-intensive than cmmercially grwn nes. This held true even when the researchers factred in emissins frm transprting cmmercially grwn prduce t ften distant grcery stres.
That desn’t mean that grwing vegetables in big cities is ttally bad, hwever. “Urban farming is great,” if imperfect, says Carla Grebitus, a fd chice expert. It can be a pwerful tl fr jb creatin and educatin, she says, and a gd way t intrduce fresh prduce t urban “fd deserts” where healthy fruits and vegetables are hard t cme by. Cmmunity gardens can als prvide a place t cnnect with nature, and the added green space can reduce the risks f heat and flding.
Cnscius f these benefits, Newell’s team highlighted several ways t make urban agriculture mre sustainable. One ptin is t be selective abut what crps are grwn. Fr instance, tmates grwn in the sil f pen-air urban plts had a lwer carbn intensity than tmates grwn in cnventinal greenhuses. Anther strategy is t rely n existing cnstructins. Include ld structures int a new garden’s design instead f taking dwn ld buildings. Finally, take the lcal climate, water quality and sil int accunt. Grwing plants that are ill-suited t an area requires mre water, energy and pesticides （杀虫剂）, all f which affect the envirnment.
28．What can we knw abut urban agriculture frm paragraph 1?
A．It is thrughly researched.B．It is welcmed by city peple.
C．It is envirnmentally friendly.D．It is limited t industrial farms.
29．Hw des the authr explain the reasn fr urban agriculture's higher carbn intensity?
A．By making a cmparisn.B．By telling a stry.
C．By giving a definitin.D．By using a qute.
30．Accrding t Carla, what is a benefit f urban agriculture?
A．It adds variety t urban peple’s diet.
B．It prvides recreatinal pprtunities.
C．It strengthens the bnds f cmmunity.
D．It helps t cntain drught and flding.
31．What is recmmended t make urban agriculture mre sustainable?
A．Recnstructing gardens.
B．Develping greenhuse crps.
C．Selecting pesticide-free vegetables.
D．Grwing plants suited t lcal cnditins.

Our species’ incredible capacity t quickly acquire wrds frm 300 by age 2 t ver 1,000 by age 4 isn’t fully understd. Sme cgnitive scientists and linguists have therized that peple are brn with built-in expectatins and lgical cnstraints （约束） that make this pssible. Nw, hwever, machine-learning research is shwing that preprgrammed assumptins aren’t necessary t swiftly pick up wrd meanings frm minimal data.
A team f scientists has successfully trained a basic artificial intelligence mdel t match images t wrds using just 61 hurs f naturalistic ftage （镜头） and sund — previusly cllected frm a child named Sam in 2013 and 2014. Althugh it’s a small slice f a child's life, it was apparently enugh t prmpt the AI t figure ut what certain wrds mean.
The findings suggest that language acquisitin culd be simpler than previusly thught. Maybe children “dn’t need a custm-built, high-class language-specific mechanism” t efficiently grasp wrd meanings, says Jessica Sullivan, an assciate prfessr f psychlgy at Skidmre Cllege. “This is a really beautiful study,” she says, because it ffers evidence that simple infrmatin frm a child’s wrldview is rich enugh t kick-start pattern recgnitin and wrd cmprehensin.
The new study als demnstrates that it’s pssible fr machines t learn similarly t the way that humans d. Large language mdels are trained n enrmus amunts f data that can include billins and smetimes trillins f wrd cmbinatins. Humans get by n rders f magnitude less infrmatin, says the paper's lead authr Wai Keen Vng. With the right type f data, that gap between machine and human learning culd narrw dramatically.
Yet additinal study is necessary in certain aspects f the new research. Fr ne, the scientists acknwledge that their findings dn’t prve hw children acquire wrds. Mrever, the study nly fcused n recgnizing the wrds fr physical bjects.
Still, it’s a step tward a deeper understanding f ur wn mind, which can ultimately help us imprve human educatin, says Eva Prtelance, a cmputatinal linguistics researcher. She ntes that AI research can als bring clarity t lng-unanswered questins abut urselves. “We can use these mdels in a gd way, t benefit science and sciety,” Prtelance adds.
32．What is a significant finding f machine-learning research?
A．Vcabulary increases gradually with age.
B．Vcabulary can be acquired frm minimal data.
C．Language acquisitin is tied t built-in expectatins.
D．Language acquisitin is as cmplex as frmerly assumed.
33．What des the underlined wrd “prmpt” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Facilitate.B．Persuade.C．Advise.D．Expect.
34．What is discussed abut the new research in paragraph 5?
A．Its limitatins.B．Its strengths.C．Its uniqueness.D．Its prcess.
35．What is Eva Prtelance’s attitude t the AI research?
A．Dubtful.B．Cautius.C．Dismissive.D．Psitive.

Javn was the shrtest kid in the class. It had been that way since the third grade. He’d had t ask t get his gym lcker changed s that he didn’t have t struggle s much t reach it. Fr mst kids, being shrt wuld be a prblem, but Javn didn’t let being shrt bther him at all.
That was Javn’s attitude abut mst things except schl wrk. And Javn had wrked hard. By the middle f seventh grade, Javn was ne f the tp kids in the class. S, he hadn’t been t cncerned when Mr. T annunced they were starting a new unit in math. Fr Javn, math used t be easy. He figured that since he had ten fingers, he culd d mst f it. But when Mr. T threw letters int math prblems, he culdn’t wrap his mind arund using these letters. Mr. T had given them all srts f rules fr what t d when there were letters in math prblems. But Javn culdn’t remember what they all were and he didn't think he even understd the rules he did remember. Sn he was hpelessly lst in math class. Even wrse, it was time fr the class t take the chapter test.
The test was quite demanding. Javn was cnfused by the very first questin. He was nervus and kept lsing track f what he was ding. When the class perid ended, he hadn't finished all f the prblems.
The day came when the class finally gt their papers back. Seeing “D” written in red ink n the crner f the paper, he felt desperate. In the seat next t him, Tyler sighed slightly, catching Javn’s attentin. He culdn’t help but see the big, red “C” n Tyler’s paper. He felt s upset.
