26、Japanese researchers placed electronic devices(装置)on seals(海豹)in Antarctic waters to collect surprising information about the environment there. Japan’s National Institute of Polar Research started the research project in 2017. The team recently reported its results in a study in the publication Limnology and Oceanography.

Eight Weddell seals were fitted with the devices,which have antennas(天线)to send electronic signals.The 580-gram monitoring devices were attached(缚上;系上)to the animals’heads. They were designed to measure data such as water temperatures and sea salt levels.

Investigative teams on ships have difficulty reaching important research areas in Antarctica. These include areas along continental shelf formations where ice is attached to the shore, the National Institute of Polar Research said in a statement. Nobuo Kokubun led the project. Since the seals are active year-round, Kokubun added, “I thought we should have them collect the data.”

He told Reuters that the research also helps scientists follow the seals’ behaviors and learn about their relationship to the environment. “During the summer, we can go to Antarctica on icebreakers to conduct actual research activities, so that we can collect data there.” Kokubun said. ”But during the winter. such things cannot be done in so many places.“

Information gathered from the seals showed that one of the animals traveled as far as 633kilometers from Japan’s Showa Station in Antarctica. Another dove to a depth of 700 meters.Kokubun said the scientists learned from the data that warm seawater from the upper levels of the open sea reached Antarctica from March through the winter of 2017. The water flowed below the ice, bringing in sea creatures like Antarctic krill, an important food for seals.

Kokubun and his team plan to keep finding new ways to further examine the effects of climate change on Antarctic coastal areas. Next, he hopes to make the device small enough to fit on other animals at the South Pole, such as penguins,“The advantage with penguins is that they come back to the same place and we can collect data from them immediately,”Kokubun said.

27、Once a piece of fruit or a vegetable is picked, it starts to go bad. One common way to slow or stop that is to remove water from the foods. The process—dehydration (脱水)—typically uses heat, which can destroy their nutrients (营养). Now, researchers have come up with a new way, and it may help make dried fruit and vegetables more nutritious.

A common way to dry fruit and vegetables is to blow hot air across them. “But there’s another way to get air moving, and it doesn’t need a fan or heat,” says Kamran Iranshahi. He’s a mechanical engineer. Called “ionic wind (离子风)”, this technique had never seemed ready for being used widely. So Iranshahi’s team began improving the process.

In earlier research, the fruit and vegetables to be dried rested on a metal plate. As airflow never reached the underside of the foods, those pieces dried rather slowly. Iranshahi’s team has just replaced the plate with a metal mesh (网孔). That seemingly small change appears to have made a big difference. Using it, the team has not only cut the drying time, but in the latest test it also has dropped the energy use by more than 85 percent!

“People considered the hot air drying process as good enough for many years. But now, more and more people are worried about the health of their foods, so the popularity of drying foods with air moved by a fan or heat has waned,” says Vijaya Raghavan. He’s a mechanical engineer at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. “This team’s impressive invention”, he says, “may now make it easier to offer healthy and tasty dried foods.”

The new version of ionic wind could be more energy efficient, Iranshahi says. So far, few studies have tested the nutrient content of produce dried with ionic wind. However, Iranshahi notes, the new technique should destroy fewer nutrients than heat-based methods, and his team will focus on that in future studies.

【1】What can we say about the work of Iranshahi’s team?

A．It causes a waste of resources.

B．It saves much time and energy.

C．It is costly for using high technology.

D．It changes the previous design completely.

【2】What does the underlined word “waned” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．Worked.

B．Begun.

C．Weakened.

D．Grown.

【3】How does Vijaya Raghavan probably feel about the new drying way with ionic wind?

A．Satisfied.

B．Worried.

C．Doubtful.

D．Surprised.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．Iranshahi is proud of his team’s achievements.

B．Heat-based methods of drying foods will be given up.

C．Iranshahi’s team will keep working on getting healthy dried foods.

D．The drying method with ionic wind has attracted public attention.

28、When David Edwards founded the oPhone, he hoped scent (嗅觉的) messages would become the next big thing in the digitization of our online lives.

The device looked like a high-tech cruet set (调味瓶)， and allowed a friend with an iPhone app to send you scent messages alongside photos. Send a picture of your dinner, tag it with four different tones, and whoever is on the receiving end can sniff it from the vase-like tubes of the oPhone.

The oPhone didn’t take off, and the company has now shifted focus to a “scent speaker” called the Cyrano, which similarly uses a range of scent capsules to emit “play lists” of smells.

Compared to our real world interactions, our online lives are lacking in scent. Our digital culture, so soaked in visual and aural stimuli, is odorless (没有气味的). So why didn’t his marriage of smell and picture messaging excite more interest?

From a technical point of view, smell is simply harder to mass communicate than sounds and pictures. “There are two main technological obstacles to making smell transmissible by digital means,” explains biophysicist and author of Perfumes: The A -Z guide, Dr Luca Turin.

“First, there are no odor ‘primaries’like RGB or CMYK. Second, it has proved impossible to stimulate the olfactory epithelium (上皮组织) directly by any means tried so far. This means that it is currently impossible to induce a sensation of smell without there being an actual chemical in the inhaled air (吸入的空气).”

“The more we’re plugged into the virtual world, the more we deeply appreciate thecontrast-moments in our human, experience，” says designer and olfactory artist Mindy Yang.

“Intuitively, we realize that we are starved of certain sensations. With the rise of digital culture, society has become more interested in the missing sense-c-what we smell.”

This interest in scent isn’t only happening within the worlds of perfume and fashion. Over the past few years a number of cultural projects have set out to focus on the power of sensory experiences, from the use of a smell map, to the Tate Sensorium, which in 2015 let users experience visual art alongside smells, tastes and sounds.

Whether it’s devices like the oPhone that仕y to introduce scent into digital messaging, organizations are growingly aware of our culture’s desire for sensory experiences. In a time of virtual reality and scentless social networks, it’s perhaps no wonder that we as a culture have such a desire for something that instinctively feels real and authentic-even if it was made in a lab.

【1】What can we learn about the oPhone?

A. The oPhone has defended our interest in what we smell.

B. The oPhone hasn’t caught on yet since it was founded.

C. The oPhone has swapped visual and aural stimuli for scent.

D. The oPhone is a vase tube to sniff specific messages from.

【2】What makes it challenging to introduce scent into digital messaging?

A. The relevant tissue is impossible to stimulate directly.

B. Scent capsules should be applied to send out smells.

C. There exists no actual chemical in the inhaled air.

D. Sounds and pictures are easier to mass communicate.

【3】What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A. To promote the oPhone which can send scent messages.

B. To reveal the problems of the invention of the oPhone.

C. To predict the trend of the digitization of our online lives.

D. To introduce the oPhone based on smell-digital-technology.

29、As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.

Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination (想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.

Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight.

Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not  being liked was a serious one.

One of the processes growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

【1】The author had _______ kind(s) of fears when she was a child.

A．three   B．two  C．one   D．none

【2】_______ would scare the author at night.

A．Wild animals and enemies

B．Moving curtains

C．A very low sound in the floor

D．Wild imagination

【3】When she went to some other places, she would _______.

A．walk away without others

B．follow others closely

C．take a bus by herself

D．make sure not to take a wrong bus

【4】Which of the following would be possibly true when she was a child

A．She was always the leader of the others.

B．She always got poor grades.

C．She thought being popular among people was important.

D．She was not liked by others at all.

30、The Louvre: The World’s Best Museum

Paris is a playland for lovers and a painter’s dreams. There is no better place to ______the Louvre, the world’s best museum of art. But what makes this museum so worthy of that ______?

The building itself is a good place to start. As with most museums, large palaces or other traditional architecture are used to ______ museums of art and of natural science. ______ the Louvre, the main building used today was formerly the castle of King Philip Augustus in the 12th Century. Not until 1546 did King Francis I begin to ______ and expand the castle. Subsequent kings did the ______. Not only did these kings add to the buildings, they also ______ within their rooms the finest art. After the French Revolution, the Louvre was opened to the public. In the 1980s, a controversial see-through glass pyramid-shaped structure was ______ by the architect I. M. Pei (贝聿铭). After centuries of continuous construction and the accumulation (积累) of art ______, today the Louvre offers a world-class collection of both French and foreign art.

The outer shell of a museum, ______, no matter how artistic or historic, cannot alone make a museum truly great. The inner collections are of great ______ to both the art researcher and art lover alike. The Louvre does not disappoint them. Three of the greatest works of art are here: the statues Victory of Samothrace and Venus de Milo accompany Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous painting, the Mona Lisa. These alone attract art ______ from around the world. Other major painting collections include works from the middle ages and Renaissance (文艺复兴时期). The treasures of the French royalty are on ______ here. Greek, Roman, Egyptian as well as early Christian collections can also be appreciated. This clearly is not a museum to be seen in one morning.

Finally, the site of the museum contributes to the magic of the Louvre. The castle built by King Philip Augustus was situated on the right bank of the Seine, overlooking the splendid scenery. Today this location is within walking distance of major Parisian tourist attractions, like the Royal Palace, and the National Library. One could easily spend a whole week ______ the heart of Paris centered around the Louvre.

Taken altogether, the Louvre holds its own as one of the best museums. Its varied buildings, ______collection of works of art, and the delightful site of the grounds overlooking France’s most famous river all make the Louvre a must-see attraction.
