There is a mobility system or wheelchair which can be seen at Tokyo Airport moving on its own.
The mobility system seats one person and is able to find its way on its own without hitting anything. It has a
pre-programmed path of about 600 meters at Tokyo’s Haneda International Airport. The ride lasts several minutes.
It travels from the security area to the boarding gate at a speed of 3.5 kilometers per hour. But many people hope
this type of technology can help in other places, such as hospitals or parks. The technology uses sensors and
cameras to see a clear path and avoid hitting those walking toward it. The person on the machine can start or stop it
through a simple controller. It runs on batteries and is programmed to return to where it starts from when its
passenger gets off. It was demonstrated on Monday by WHILL, the company behind the technology.
WHILL Chief Executive Satoshi Sugie said robotics and self-driving technology reduce the need for a human
at the wheel. They are especially useful in these difficult times when we are living with the corona-virus.” We are
developing our business in order to help restore a world where people can enjoy moving around with peace of
mind,” Sugie said.
The system is helping with social distance while fighting the spread of the corona-virus. It also helps older
passengers and those who need help walking the last few steps to the boarding gate. What’ s more, it could help
Japan free up labor. Japan, like many other nations, suffers from a labor shortage. The technology could free a
worker to do another job.
Tests have been carried out at several airports since last year, including John F. Kennedy International Airport
in New York. The company hopes to put it in airports around the world.
4. What is special about the mobility system?
A. It needs no help at the airport. B. It works by solar energy.
C. It is programmed ahead of time. D. It adjusts the speed to the path.
5. What does Satoshi Sugie think of the wheelchair?
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂A. It is useless to some people. B. It deserves to be widely used.
C. It needs to be further tested. D. It may not work well in other places.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Various difficulties of boarding. B. New treatment for the corona-virus.
C. The reasons for a labor shortage. D. The advantages of the mobility system.
7. In which section of a magazine may this text appear?
A. Society and development. B. Business and culture.
C. Science and technology. D. Geography and history.

The British Museum's rich collection of ancient Chinese paintings has attracted many visitors. At the heart of
this preservation and revival of Chinese art history is senior conservator (文物修复员) Qiu Jinxian.
Joanna Kosek, head of Pictorial Art Conservation at the British Museum, told the Times Publications that Qiu
is considered one of the museum's most priceless treasures. "We let the treasure treat the treasure," Kosek said.
In 1987, Qiu was introduced to Mrs. Jessica Rawson, director of the British Museum. At the time there were
no conservators specializing in ancient Chinese art at the British Museum. The large collection of Chinese ancient
paintings and cultural relics in the museum was mainly repaired by Japanese and British methods and materials. As
these methods were not suitable for Chinese paintings, the art collection was kept in storage for a long time instead
of on pubic display.
Just before Christmas in 1987, Qiu Jinxian had her first appointment at the British Museum. She was asked to
repair an ancient scroll (卷轴) by Fu Baoshi, which had been badly damaged by fire. Qiu's methods, which
included washing with warm water to separate the glue in order to repair the paper, stunned people on the spot.
Some of them even got out the camera to record her methods as they'd never seen this way of restoring ancient art.
Mrs. Rawson was completely amazed by Qiu Jinxian's incredible skills. She immediately invited Qiu to join the
British Museum.
Chinese ancient paintings are notoriously difficult to repair because of their large size, complex materials,
diverse colors, and rich composition. The most important thing is to understand the long history, meaning and
culture behind the painting. Repair is an extremely time-and-energy intensive process.Each painting normally takes
several months from cleaning to restoration and drying. Since 1987, Qiu has repaired more than 400 artworks.
Oiu told the media that she is very proud of her work. She wants more people to understand and appreciate
Chinese history and culture through art. Although the artworks originated from China, they now belong to the
people of the world.
8. Why is Qiu considered a treasure at the British Museum?
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂A. She understands Chinese history well.
B. She is the only Chinese conservator there.
C. She repaired the Chinese scroll successfully.
D. She has special skills to repair the treasures.
9. What does the underlined word "stunned" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Panicked. B. Inspired. C. Shocked. D. Influenced.
10. What matters most for repairing Chinese artworks?
A. A deep understanding of the objects. B. Incredible painting skills.
C. Strong determination. D. A sound knowledge of Chinese history.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Well-known Chinese Conservator
B. The Protector of Chinese Treasures at the British Museum
C. The Chinese Treasures Repaired at the British Museum
D The Ancient Chinese Artworks Exhibited at the British Museum

People have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer even though they have lifespans (寿命) that
are similar to humans, jiving for around 50 to 70 years.
Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago, US has found that elephants carry
a large number of genes that stop tumors (肿瘤) developing. To be precise, they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor
gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species, including humans, only carry one copy.
According to the research, the extra copies of the gene improved the animal’s sensitivity to DNA damage,
which lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can go on to form deadly tumors.
“An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many
animals,” the study author Dr Vincent Lynch told The Guardian. If every living cell has the same chance of
becoming cancerous (癌变的), large creatures with a long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater
risk of developing cancer than humans and mice. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection
with body mass.
This phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named “Peto’s
paradox (悖论)”. Biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller animals do
not. In the elephant’s case, the making of TP53 is nature’s way of keeping this species alive.
The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice, they had the same cancer
resistance as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂stop cancers spreading or even developing in the first place.
“Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,” said Joshua Schiffman, a biologist at the School of
Medicine, University of Utah, US. “It’s up to us to learn how different animals deal with the problem so that we
can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.”
12. Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer?
A. They have a rather large body size.
B. Their genes suffer no DNA damage.
C. Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors.
D. They carry many genes to prevent tumors developing.
13. According to the passage, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals?
A. Deadly tumors. B. The huge body mass.
C. Cells killing themselves. D. Sensitivity to DNA damage.
14. What does the underlined part “This phenomenon” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?
A. Larger animals have protection from TP53.
B. The risk of cancer is not related to body size.
C. Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones.
D. The larger animals are, the bigger risk of cancer they will have.
15. What can be concluded from the passage?
A. Depending on nature is surely enough to fight against cancer.
B. The TP53 genes have proved useful in stopping cancer in people.
C. Humans are expected to prevent cancer with the making of TP53.
D. The extra copies of elephants, genes are used to cure cancer patients.

47. Joe was a boy with a special ability．He could cry in less than a second．If he disliked something or
things became difficult, Joe would put on a pitiful face and set great tears rolling down．In this way he got
everything he wanted, because no one could resist his sad face．
But one day, Joe met Pipo．Pipo was begging in the street for some money．Pipo was very poor, but he
always had the biggest smile on his face．Joe walked up to him and decided to help Pipo make some money．He
then took off his hat, and started crying with the most pitiful expressions．An immediate success！In a few
minutes, Joe's hat was full of coins, but when Joe offered all these to Pipo, Pipo turned him down．
"I prefer deserving what I receive," answered Pipo with his usual smile．"It's much more fun making an effort
to get things．Today I've washed a dog, supported a blind old lady to the park and helped a stranger to mind his
bag．Maybe I haven't gotten what I've wanted, but I've done many interesting things．"
Paragraph 1:
Without saying anything，Joe just walked away sadly.
