21、   Dog eyesight declines with age. Injuries and ailments can cloud their vision. Zero was a highly trained, driven alert dog. So, at competitions, when he started running into obstacles and falling off the ends of teeter-totters(跷跷板), his owner, San Francisco-area dog trainer Dianne Morey, was concerned.

As time passed, she noticed a pattern. The problems only occurred at competitions held in horse arenas, where yellow obstacles blended into the color of the sand covering the floor. Concerned about his eyesight, Morey took Zero to a vet, who diagnosed him with a genetic condition. Morey found the diagnosis “heartbreaking”. After one last competition—which he won—Zero retired. In the time since, he’s led a life full of activities like dock diving and hiking, where poor vision is less dangerous. While there’s no cure for his disease, protective eyewear has helped keep him safe while being active.

On average, dogs develop nearsightedness or farsightedness less often than humans, says Alexandra vander Woerdt at Animal Medical Center in New York City. However, their eyesight also declines with age. Injuries and some diseases such as glaucoma(青光眼) can cloud their vision. Thinking back, Morey realizes some behaviors—for instance, the way Zero poked his nose before entering a gate—were signs his vision was impaired.

Identifying vision issues in dogs isn’t as easy as with humans. Dogs don’t bark wrong letters on the eye chart, and they’re very good at adapting. Treatments for eye problems may include eyedrops, medications or surgery. Eyewear can also play a role in treating or preventing many issues. Many dogs don’t like eyewear at first. Zero was an exception, thanks to his training in agility and tricks, Morey says.

【1】What made Dianne Morey concerned？

A.Her trained dog Zero fell off in competitions.

B.She was badly hurt by a dog in a competition.

C.She found her eyesight was declining with age.

D.Her trained dog Zero wasn’t as clever as before.

【2】What can we know from the second paragraph？

A.Zero is retiring soon.

B.Zero’s disease can’t be cured.

C.Zero got the disease from his birth.

D.Zero has recovered from his poor eyesight.

【3】Which of the following can replace the word “blended” in the second paragraph？

A.added.

B.missed.

C.needed.

D.mixed.

【4】What makes it difficult to identify dogs’ vision problems？

A.They are too fierce to control.

B.They don’t like to wear eyewear.

C.They adapt to the poor sight easily.

D.They bark wrong letters on the eye chart.

22、   One day my Ph. D. adviser called me into his office, saying I needn’t bring my notebook. Puzzled, I followed him and sat down. After 15 minutes of listing positive things about my academic capabilities, he looked me in the eye and said, “You are fired from the lab.” I stared back, blinking in disbelief. “Is he joking?” I wondered. “How is this possible?”

The first few days after my dismissal were especially difficult. One day all I could do was sit on a beach, crying as I looked out across the Mediterranean Sea and wondered what I should do. Around that time, I watched Dasvidaniya, a Bollywood movie that’s about a man who is told that he has 3 months to live. He responds by changing his attitude to life and setting out to make the most of his remaining months. Even though it is a common saying, one line from the movie stuck out to me: “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” What kind of “lemonade” could I make out of my current situation?

My desire to complete a Ph. D. was never in doubt. After much reflection, I told myself that one failed attempt was not the end of the world, and that I needed to give it another try. With renewed confidence, I emailed prospective advisers and applied to other programs. Fortunately, I landed an offer from a Ph. D. program in Italy. I accepted it and relocated to Europe, happy that my goal of completing a Ph. D. was alive once again.

I’m thankful that I didn’t give up on my dream and that I found another professor willing to take me on. So, if you find yourself in a similar situation and life gives you lemons, ask yourself: “How can I make lemonade?”

【1】What is the author’s feeling after hearing his Ph. D. adviser’ s words?

A．Regretful.

B．Amazed.

C．Pleased.

D．Angry.

【2】What does the sentence “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade” in Paragraph 2 imply?

A．Lemonade is often better than lemon.

B．Life is like lemonade made from lemon.

C．You should try lemonade made from lemon.

D．Transforming the bad situation is a better choice.

【3】Why did the author feel happy once again?

A．He watched an encouraging Bollywood movie.

B．He could achieve his goal of completing a Ph. D.

C．He could earn his living in Europe in the future.

D．He found a good professor in the Ph. D. program.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Why lost my job in a Ph. D. program.

B．The hard time I suffered in Europe.

C．How I moved on after my dismissal.

D．A vital movie I met in my dilemma.

24、Professors at the University of California San Diego have developed microrobots, which can be a potential treatment for life-threatening cases of bacterial pneumonia, a serious disease affecting lungs and making breathing difficult. In mice, the microrobots safely removed pneumonia-causing bacteria in the lungs and resulted in 100% survival while untreated mice all died within three days after infection.

The microrobots are made of algae (藻类) cells whose surfaces are covered with substances that are filled with antibiotics (抗生素). The algae provides movement, which allows the microrobots to swim around and make antibiotics go directly to more bacteria in the lungs, helping absorb bacteria and clear them of infected cells. This give the microrobots the ability to reduce bacterial infection, which in turn makes them more effective at fighting lung infection.

The work is a joint effort by engineering professors Joseph and Zhang Liangfang. Together, they have pioneered the development of tiny drug-delivering robots that can be safely used in live animals to treat bacterial infections in the stomach and blood. Treating bacterial lung infection is the latest in their line of work.

“In the traditional treatment, sometimes only a very small number of antibiotics will get into the lungs. That’s why many current antibiotic treatments for pneumonia don’t work as well as needed,” said Victor Nizet, a co-worker of Joseph and Zhang “Based on these mouse data, we see that the microrobots could potentially improve the use of antibiotics to kill bacteria and save more patients’ lives.”

The work is still at the proof-of-concept stage. The team plans to do more basic research to understand exactly how the microrobots interact with the immune system (免疫系统). Next steps also include studies to confirm the effectiveness of the microrobot treatment before testing it in larger animals and eventually, in humans. “We’re pushing the boundary further in the field of targeted drug delivery,” said Zhang.

【1】How do microrobots work?

A．By doing targeted drug delivery.

B．By interacting with antibiotic-filled matter.

C．By producing algae cells in lungs.

D．By separating harmful cells from healthy ones.

【2】What is Victor Nizet’s attitude towards the invention?

A．Doubtful.

B．Subjective.

C．Cautious.

D．Favorable.

【3】What does the team expect of the microrobots?

A．They’ll inspire a new line of research.

B．They’ll help strengthen the immune system.

C．They’ll have a wider range of application.

D．They’ll be a further proof of their concept.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．A scientific invention treating deadly cancers.

B．Tiny swimming robots helping treat pneumonia.

C．A major breakthrough made in antibiotic research.

D．Microrobots employed in the engineering field.

25、Every year, around 20,000 American teenagers age out of foster care (寄养) at 18, and have to start their lives by themselves.

Ella first became aware of foster care when her parents were considering adopting a child. Although the _______ didn’t work out, Ella often found herself thinking about that child. “I’m really close with my family, and just couldn’t imagine being _______ on my own at 18,” she says.

Later, Ella visited Children Services, with a list of questions, trying to _______ what aging out looked like. One question was “What’s not being _______ for these young people?”.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Would a person born blind, who has learned to distinguish objects by touch, be able to recognize them purely by sight if he regained the ability to see? The question, known as Molyneux’s problem, is about whether the human mind has a built-in concept of shapes that is so innate(天生的) that such a blind person could immediately recognize an object with restored vision. The alternative is that the concepts of shapes are not innate but have to be learned by exploring an object through sight, touch and other senses.

After their attempt to test it in blind children failed, Lars Chittka of Queen Mary University of London and his colleagues have taken another attempt at finding an answer, this time using another species. To test whether bumblebees can form an internal representation of objects, they first trained the insects to distinguish globes from cubes using a sugar reward. The bees were trained in the light, where they could see but not touch the objects. Then they were tested in the dark, where they could touch but not see the globes or cubes. The researchers found that the bumblebees spent more time in contact with the shape they had been trained to associate with the sugar reward, even though they had to rely on touch rather than sight to distinguish the objects.

The researchers also did the reverse test with untrained bumblebees, first teaching them with rewards in the dark and then testing them in the light. Again, the bees were able to recognize the shape associated with the sugar reward, though they had to rely on sight rather than touch in the test. In short, bees have solved Molyneux's problem because the fact suggests that they can picture object features and access them through sight or touch.

However, some experts express their warnings. Jonathan Birch, a philosopher of science, cautions that the bees may have had prior experience associating visual and tactile(触觉的) information about straight edges and curved surfaces in the context of their nests, so it is not possible to eliminate the possibility that some of the cross-sensory concept is learned rather than innate.
