23．（8分）The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is mostly a desert. However, this has not stopped the country from creating great building projects. On September 26, UAE officials announced another ambitious project — Mars Science City. Expansive deserts and miles of coastline provide plenty of options for safe rocket launches (发射). And its position on the Earth makes it especially appealing as the spin of the Earth provides an extra push, meaning less fuel is needed to get payloads into orbit. All these seem to make it possible.
The Mars City Project, designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, or BIG, will provide a realistic model to simulate (模仿) living on the surface of Mars, the red planet. It is part of the UAE’s Mars 2117 Project to lead the global race to land humans on Mars and be the first to build a settlement there. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Prime Minister and ruler of Dubai, says, “The UAE seeks international support to develop technologies that benefit humans, and lay the foundation of a better future for more generations to come.”
Built outside Dubai, the 1.9 million square feet city is expected to cost $135 million. It will consist of several dome-shaped laboratories, similar to the ones imagined for the first Mars settlers. Scientists from around the word will be invited to conduct research to come up with methods to create food, water and energy, using techniques which can be copied onto the red planet. The living spaces, where the researchers can live for up to a year, will simulate the planet’s conditions as much as possible.
The research city will also include a museum featuring famous space achievements to help educate and inspire children to undertake space exploration and discovery. To discover whether the construction method works on Mars, the museum’s walls will be 3D printed using the sand from the nearby desert. Now, if they would only add some living quarters for the general public to experience life on Mars without leaving Earth, life would be perfect.
1、What can we conclude about the United Arab Emirates?
A．It is short of fine weather.
B．It is a nice place for launching.
C．It can provide adequate fuel supply.
D．It has the greatest architects in the world.
2、What will scientists do in the laboratories?
A．Educate visitors on trips to Mars.
B．Develop the Mars settlers’ imagination.
C．Find ways to produce food, water and energy on Mars.
D．Create a climate-controlled environment for future use.
3、Why will the museum’s walls be 3D printed?
A．To show famous space techniques.
B．To make full use of the nearby desert.
C．To inspire children to love exploration.
D．To test building skills used by Mars settlers.
4、What’s the best title for the text?
A．UAE to Build Mars Science City
B．UAE’s Great Exploration of Mars
C．UAE to Build First Mars Settlement
D．UAE’s Scientistific Contribution to Humans
24．（8分）Vinegar is great. It makes salad, fries and dumplings taste better, and you can even clean your windows with it. And now, according to scientists, it may even help the planet’s population survive climate change. Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan proved that. They found growing plants in vinegar makes them more resistant to droughts. This could mean that in the future, worries about climate change affecting the world’s supply of food will be much lower.
The discovery was made after the researchers studied the Arabidopsis, a plant known for its ability to survive in dry weather. It was found that when the plant was placed in drought-like conditions, it produced a chemical called acetate (醋酸盐)—the main component of vinegar.
After discovering this, the scientists experimented further by adding acetate to the soil of other plants before they stopped giving them water completely. After leaving the plants for 14 days, they found that the ones treated with acetate had survived, while the untreated plants had dried up and died.
It’s hoped that this simple method of survival could soon be used to help fanners in dry countries keep their crops alive. “In the experiment, we targeted the staple foods of the world—rice, wheat and maize… and proved successful” Jong Myong Kim, co-author of the study, told Popular Science magazine.
Kim has already been in touch with people around the world who are interested in trying this simple and cost-effective method out for themselves from farmers to companies and amateur gardeners. “Now we are trying to cooperate with them to make a method to apply this system, and make the process as simple as possible,” he said. Hopefully this means the end of hunger caused by bad weather in the future.
1、What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A．Vinegar may help creatures survive bad weather.
B．Vinegar is found in plants by Japanese scientists.
C．Vinegar is very useful for cooking a good meal.
D．Vinegar is mainly used by people to clean houses.
2、Scientists in Japan find from their studies that .
A．the Arabidopsis could survive in dry weather because of the shape
B．soil condition could be changed by pouring vinegar continually
C．the acetate can be used by farmers to replace the soil
D．the plants treated with acetate could survive dry conditions
3、What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．It’s too difficult for farmers to accept the method.
B．How to decrease the cost is the main issue.
C．The method is promising especially in agriculture.
D．Keeping plants alive means a lot for scientists.
4、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Japanese Scientists Find a Plant
B．Vinegar Could End Hunger
C．Vinegar and Food
D．Plants Need Water
25．（10分）There is a lot of talk about “brain power.” You don’t usually hear about stomach power. As it turns out, the stomach might also be very powerful with a new electronic pill inside it. The new electronic pill, equipped with a Wi-Fi transmitter, is swallowed and can harvest energy from inside a person’s own stomach to record core（核心）body temperature and then send the health data to an outside monitor.
The model can power itself for nearly a week—much longer than current absorbable devices, which are placed inside the body and only can share health information for less than an hour. “To make the device work even longer, and see if the stomach’s acid could power the device, we used tiny pieces of copper and zinc for experiments.” said Philip Nadeau, an electrical engineer who designed the device together.
The Wi-Fi devices fit inside a capsule but unfold when they hit the stomach and deliver drugs for long periods of time before they break down and pass through the body. This Wi-Fi pill could lead to fresh opportunities for drug delivery or real-time health monitoring from inside organs, said Giovanni Traverso, a doctor and biomedical engineer at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, who c0-led a study of the pill published recently in Nature Biomedical Engineering.
Despite our many medical advances, we’re pretty bad at measuring core body temperature. A recent study of 8,600 patients found that thermometer（温度计）readings from the mouth or skin did a lousy job of measuring core temperature. Getting an accurate temperature is important.
Traverso and Nadeau are also aiming to shrink（缩小）the pill to the size of a tablet. “Temperature tracking is just the first of many ways the medical community can use the device.” Traverse thinks.
1、What is WRONG about the Wi-Fi pill?
A．The Wi-Fi device is powered by itself.
B．The pill can send health data to the doctor.
C．Nadeau is the first one to design the pill.
D．The pill can help monitor patients’ health.
2、What does the underlined word “lousy” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Accurate.
