21、Researchers have 3D printed a heart using a patient's cells, providing hope that the technique could be used to heal hearts or engineer new ones for transplants.

“This is the first time anyone anywhere has successfully engineered and printed an entire heart,” Professor Tal Dvir said in a statement. Dvir is the senior author of the research, published on Monday in the journal Advanced Science.

The cells that made the heart came from a donor's fat tissue. Researchers separated the cells in the tissue from the rest of the contents. The cells were reprogrammed to become stem cells with the ability into heart cells. The cells and hydrogel were first used to create heart patches with blood vessels (血管) and, from there, an entire heart.

At this stage, our 3D heart is small, the size of a rabbit's heart,” Dvir said. “But larger human require the same technology.” Previously, scientists had been able to print only simple tissues without blood vessels.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the developing world. Heart transplantation is the only way to treat end-stage heart failure, highlighting the importance of developing techniques such as 3D printing, according to the authors.

Dvir also explained that using the patient's own cells is key to engineering the tissues and organs. “It's important because it prevents the possibility of rejection,” he said.

Next, the researchers plan to train the hearts to behave like real ones. Dvir explained, “The cells need to form a pumping ability; they can contract, but we need them to work together.”

If researchers are successful, they plan to transplant the 3D-printed heart in animal models and, after that, humans. “Maybe, in ten years ,there will be organ printers in the finest hospitals around the world ,and these procedures will be conducted routinely,” Dvir said.

【1】What can we know about the 3D-printed heart?

A．It is almost of the same size as the human heart.

B．It uses the cells coming from an animal fat tissue to 3D print a heart.

C．It can provide the technology human hearts required in the future.

D．It can replace the patient’s heart in treating heart disease in ten years

【2】What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A．Value of the new technique.

B．Procedures of dealing with cells.

C．Tips about heart disease treatment.

D．Materials used in the 3D-printed heart.

【3】What do we know from what Professor Tal Dvir said?

A．The researchers are successful in 3D printing human heart.

B．Every hospital will have organ printers around the world.

C．Researchers will transplant the 3D-printed heart in ten years.

D．Professor Dvir is looking forward to the success of the research.

【4】What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A．To show how to 3D print a heart.

B．To promote heart disease research.

C．To introduce a medical breakthrough.

D．To call on people to care about health.

22、Whether it’s a cup of coffee, a cup of hot tea, or a bottle of soda, consuming caffeine (咖啡因) is a good choice for millions who want to wake up or stay up. Now, researchers at Johns Hopkins University have found its another use: improving our memory.

“We’ve always known that caffeine has effects on raising cognitive (认知的) abilities, but its particular effect on strengthening memory has never been proved,” said Michael Yassa, one of the scientists of the research team.

The researchers conducted a double-blind trial in which participants who did not regularly eat or drink products consisting of caffeine received either a placebo (安慰剂) or a caffeine pill five minutes after studying a series of pictures. The next day, both groups were tested on their ability to recognize pictures from the previous day’s study session. On the test, some of the pictures were the same as those from the day before, and some were new additions which were similar but not the same.

More members of the caffeine group were able to correctly identify the new pictures as “similar” to previously viewed pictures rather than mistakenly see them as the same. The brain’s ability to recognize the difference between two similar but not the same items reflected better memory, the researchers said.

“If we used a standard recognition memory task without these similar items, we would have found no effect of caffeine,” Yassa said. “However, using these items requires the brain to make a more difficult discrimination — what we call pattern separation, which seems to be the process that is improved by caffeine in our case.”

“Almost all the previous studies distributed caffeine before the study session, so if there is an improvement, it’s not clear whether it’s due to caffeine’s effects on attention, focus, or other factors,” Yassa said. “By offering caffeine after the study session, we rule out all of these effects and make sure that if there is an improvement, it's due to memory and nothing else.”

【1】Which paragraph mainly tells the process of the experiment in detail？

A．Paragraph 2.

B．Paragraph 3.

C．Paragraph 4.

D．Paragraph 5.

【2】Why did the researchers use similar pictures？

A．To measure participants’ attention.

B．To test participants’ ability to learn.

C．To add the difficulty of discrimination.

D．To further explain pattern separation.

【3】How is this experiment different from the previous ones？

A．Participants had few coffee drinking experiences.

B．Participants were forced to drink stronger coffee.

C．Participants studied the pictures after a long break.

D．Participants took in caffeine after studying the pictures.

【4】The purpose of the experiment is to prove caffeine ________．

A．helps people stay energetic

B．strengthens learning ability

C．does harm to cognitive abilities

D．has a positive effect on memory

23、   China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope(FAST)has detected a repeating fast radio burst(FRB)-mysterious radio signals from outer space-for the first time, Science and Technology Daily reported.

Scientists on the FAST project with the National Astronomical Observatories of China(NAOC)revealed the news last Wednesday. The FRB originated some three billion lightyears away from Earth. Other factors including aircraft and satellites have been dismissed and cross examination is being carried out, the scientists said.

FRB has since become one of the hottest topics in astronomy. It was not until 2007 when the first FRB was discovered by humans. Fewer than 100 FRBs have been detected internationally. There is still no reasonable explanation for the origin of FRB in the international scientific community at present. FRBs mostly only appear once, which makes them very hard to track.

The FRB detected by FAST's real-time detection terminal(终端), however, is one that has been observed before, said Zhang Xinxin, an assistant engineer with the NAOC. Known as FRB121102,it was first discovered in 2012 and found to repeat in 2015.Analysis of data later located the source of the signal coming from a dwarf galaxy(矮星系) three billion light years away. The first pulse from FRB121102 was spotted by FAST on Aug 30 2019.After this, the telescope recorded dozens of pulses from the FRB over the course of days. On Sept 3 2019 alone, more than 20 pulses were detected.

The number of mysterious bursts detected so far is too small to draw any conclusions, Zhang said. FAST, the world's largest single-dish radio telescope, has a certain edge in detecting repeated FRBs. This is because the 19-beam receiver installed on FAST, covering frequency ranges of 1.05-1.45 GHz, is very sensitive to radio signals, Zhang said.

【1】The whole text mainly gives us an introduction to________.

A.a brief introduction of FAST. B.a discovery of FAST

C.the validation of FAST D.the usage of FAST

【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.FRB121102 is the first fast radio burst that was discovered by humans.

B.The FRB detected by China's FAST this time has not been observed before.

C.FRBs mostly only appear once, which makes them very hard to track.

D.We can infer that billion-light year is a term of time in astronomy.

【3】Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope(FAST)/_______

A.is the world's largest radio telescope

B.has detected more than 100 FRBs

C.found reasonable explanation for the origin of FRB

D.has been installed with the 19-beam receiver

24、   Sometimes just when we need the power of miracles to change our beliefs, they materialize in the places we’d least expect. They can come to us as a great change in our physical reality or as a simple coincidence in our lives. Sometimes they’re big and can’t be missed. Other times they’re so subtle that if we aren’t aware, we may miss them altogether. They can come from the lips of a stranger we suddenly and mysteriously meet at just the right instant. If we listen carefully, we’ll always hear the right words, at the right time, to dazzle (目眩) us into a realization of something that we may have failed to notice only moments before.

On a cold January afternoon in 1989, I was hiking up the trail that leads to the top of Egypt’s Mt. Horeb. I’d spent the day at St. Catherine’s Monastery and wanted to get to the peak by sunset to see the valley below. As I was winding up the narrow path, I’d occasionally see other hikers who were coming down from a day on the mountain. While they would generally pass with simply a nod or a greeting in another language, there was one man that day who did neither.

I saw him coming from the last switchback on the trail that led to the backside of the mountain. As he got closer, I could see that he was dressed differently from the other hikers I’d seen. Rather than the high-tech fabrics and styles that had been the norm, this man was wearing traditional Egyptian clothing. He wore a tattered, rust-colored galabia and obviously old and thick-soled sandals that were covered in dust. What made his appearance so odd, though, was that the man didn’t even appear to be Egyptian! He was a small-framed Asian man, had very little hair, and was wearing round, wire-rimmed glasses.

As we neared one another, I was the first to speak, “Hello,” I said, stopping on the trail for a moment to catch my breath. Not a sound came from the man as he walked closer. I thought that maybe he hadn’t heard me or the wind had carried my voice away from him in another direction. Suddenly he stopped directly in front of me on the high side of the trail, looked up from the ground, and spoke a single sentence to me in English, “Sometimes you don’t know what you have lost until you’ve lost it.” As I took in what I had just heard, he simply stepped around me and continued his going down the trail.

That moment in my life was a small miracle. The reason is less about what the man said and more about the timing and the context. The year was 1989, and the Cold War was drawing to a close. what the man on the trail couldn’t have known is that it was during my Egyptian pilgrimage (朝圣), and specifically during my hike to the top of Moses’s mountain, that I’d set the time aside to make decisions that would affect my career in the defense industry, my friends, my family, and, ultimately, my life.

I had to ask myself what the chances were of an Asian man dressed in an Egyptian galabia coming down from the top of this historic mountain just when I was walking up, stopping before me, and offering his wisdom, seemingly from out of nowhere. My answer to my own question was easy: the odds were slim to none! In a meet that lasted less than two minutes on a mountain halfway around the world from my home, a total stranger had brought clarity and the hint of a warning, regarding the huge changes that I would make within a matter of days. In my way of thinking, that’s a miracle.

I suspect that we all experience small miracles in our lives every day. Sometimes we have the wisdom and the courage to recognize them for what they are In the moments when we don’t, that’s okay as well. It seems that our miracles have a way of coming back to us again and again. And each time they do, they become a little less subtle, until we can’t possibly miss the message that they bring to our lives!

The key is that they’re everywhere and occur every day for different reasons, in response to the different needs that we may have in the moment. Our job may be less about questioning the extraordinary things that happen in our daily lives and more about accepting the gifts they bring.
