26、 A few months ago, the economic analyst Noah Smith observed that scientific advance is like mining ore(采矿). You find a vein(矿脉)you think is promising. You take a risk and invest heavily. You explore it until it runs out. The problem has been that over the last few decades only a few veins have really been paying off and changing lives.
In 2011, the economist Tyler Cowen published a prescient(有先见之明的)book. “The Great Stagnation,” exploring why scientific advance was slowing down. Peter Thiel complained that we wanted flying cars,but we got some social media. But this technological lull(瓶颈)may be ending. Suddenly a lot of smart people are writing about many veins that look promising. The first and most obvious is vaccines.
The amazing fact about Covid-19 vaccines is that Moderna scientists had designed the first one by Jan 13, 2020. They had the vaccine before many people even thought the disease was a threat. It's not only a new vaccine but also a new kind of vaccine. The mRNA vaccines will help us teach our bodies to fight pathogens(病菌)more effectively and could lead to breakthroughs in fighting all sorts of diseases. For example, researchers have hopes for mRNA cancer vaccines, which wouldn't prevent cancer, but could help your body fight some forms.
In energy, geothermal(地热)breakthroughs are generating tremendous excitement. As David Roberts notes in an excellent explainer in Vox, the molten core(核心)of the earth is about 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, roughly the same temperature as the sun. If we could tap 0.1 percent of the energy under the earth's surface we could supply humanity's total energy needs for two million years.
Government would have to come up with aggressive ways to reduce the shocks. But it is better to face the challenges of dynamism(动态)than the challenges of stasis(停滞).Life would be longer and healthier, energy would be cleaner and cheaper, there would be a greater sense of progress and wonder.
【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A.To tell us scientific advance is like mining ore.
B.To keep us informed of the present situation of scientific advance.
C.To explain what is scientific advance.
D.To give advice on scientific advance.
【2】Which statement about the mRNA vaccine is NOT true?
A.The mRNA vaccine is newly designed.
B.It is a new kind of vaccine.
C.It will be of great use to fight some diseases.
D.It is widely used all over the world.
【3】What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A.Geothermal energy can be a good substitute for the energy being used today.
B.Geothermal energy has been used enormously.
C.Solar energy makes our life more convenient.
D.Geothermal energy is the best.
【4】What's the attitude towards the future of the scientific advance?
A.objective
B.subjective
C.hopeful
D.unacceptable
27、When you look up at the bright stars in the nighttime sky, do you wonder what’s out there? Of course, your science teachers have taught you that there are stars, planets, and entire galaxies out there.
【1】 Man has walked on the Moon, but the Moon is fairly close to Earth when you’re talking about outer space. How do scientists study the far reaches of the universe? Over the course of history, man has developed amazing technology to help us see beyond our own planet into the vastness of our galaxy and even way beyond. 【2】
【3】 Using lenses and mirrors to see beyond Earth’s borders, telescopes gave scientists their first glimpse of what exists beyond Earth’s atmosphere.
What scientists were able to learn with telescopes paved the way for manned space exploration. From trips to the Moon to dozens of manned space shuttle flights, teams of humans were able to travel in space and conduct research on a variety of scientific subjects. 【4】 The more we learn about outer space, the more we realize how much more there is to explore. This has led scientists to develop even more powerful tools to help them explore the way beyond the places we can go as humans.
For example, the telescope is no longer an Earth-bound instrument. In 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope was launched into outer space. 【5】 With many different cameras and types of scientific instruments, it has provided scientists with invaluable data.
A.Who tells us about it?
B.But how do we know this?
C.Scientists have always been curious.
D.It’s a piece of technology that’s powered by sunlight.
E.It’s a tool for scientists to explore the universe without difficulty.
F.One of the earliest tools for space exploration was the telescope.
G.This technology takes the form of some impressive machines and tools.

29、John White,a typical teenage boy,is keen on hiking and photography.He also lives in a large zoo.
John,the son of the late"Crocodile Hunter"star Steve White,is now taking center stage in"Crikey!It's the Whites,"a new series on Animal Planet."We've worked on quite a few different TV projects,but this is actually the first time my whole family has come back to Animal Planet together,so it's pretty unusual,"says John. Premiering(首映)at 8 p.m.on Sunday,"Crikey!"follows the Whites as they run the 100-acre Australia Zoo,founded by Steve White's parents.Steve owned and ran the zoo before he died in 2006."We've always grown up in front of a camera.Bindi,my sister, and I were both filmed for some of the original' Crocodile Hunter' documentaries(纪录片),”says John.
“I'm very lucky in the way that I've had so much of my life captured(拍摄)on camera,so as the memories you have of Dad start to fade,you can always look back at the old footage(镜头)and relive those special moments,"he says.

Of course, running a zoo doesn't leave much time for school,so John participates in Distance Education,a program similar to homeschooling."School can be difficult for me to fit in,"he says."But I've actually got a classroom that's set up at Australia Zoo and a teacher that travels with us wherever we go,so I can fit in all of my studies." John continues,"I'm learning as much as I can about all of the animals and all of the work at Australia Zoo. I feel really honored to be following in Dad's footsteps.I love continuing that work."
