二、阅读理解
Researchers have developed a groundbreaking method of storing and handling valuable biological materials
that removes the limitations of refrigerated storage. The novel method has potential applications in healthcare and
scientific research.
Biological materials that come from human cells, like enzymes, proteins, and antibodies, are crucial to
developing new medicines and diagnostic tests. And they’re fragile. Extremely temperature-sensitive, they require
a constant temperature during storage, handling, and transportation. If not stored or handled correctly, these
materials will be inactive, which can be costly.
Most biological materials are stored as liquids or freeze-dried powders and kept at low temperatures for the
duration of their shelf life. This is achieved through a complex integrated system of refrigerators and freezers
known as the cold chain. This requires a significant investment in equipment and infrastructure, making it
expensive to maintain, and makes the cold chain prone to shipping delays, power outages, equipment failure and
human error.
Inspired from the home medicine cabinet (储藏柜), where medications are stored in the form of liquids,
powder-filled capsules, and tablets, researchers at California Polytechnic State University have developed a new
storage platform based on the humble table t that would enable biological materials to be compressed (压缩) into
a solid state.
Tablets provide advantages to the storage and handling of biomaterials that the cold chain doesn’t. For one
thing, they can be stored at room temperature. And, when they’re required, the tablet can be dissolved in water.“Our innovation makes storing and using biomaterials as straightforward as an effervescent tablet (泡腾片). Just
drop it into water, mix, and it’s ready to go,” said the researcher of the study.
The researchers say their new tablet-based storage and handling method is easy to use and doesn’t require
special training, making it suitable for many applications. They also see potential uses beyond just improving the
storage and handling of biological materials. By modifying (修改) the tablet coatings, this solid-state storage
platform could withstand extreme conditions like heat, humidity, and chemicals. These changes might eventually
allow injectable medications, such as insulin, to be taken orally.
31．What is a special requirement to store biological materials?
A．Constant temperature maintenance.
B．Exposure to various temperatures.
C．Periodically freezing and melting.
D．Direct contact with air.
32．What is the researchers’ attitude to their storage method?
A．Favorable. B．Skeptical. C．Disappointed. D．Grateful.
33．Which word can replace the underlined word “withstand” in the last paragraph?
A．Demonstrate. B．Stand. C．Adopt. D．Distinguish.
34．What is the text mainly about?
A．Challenges of storing biological materials.
B．The making process of effervescent tablets.
C．Healthcare applications of biological materials.
D．A new table t storage method of biological materials.
If a pancake could dream, it might long for legs so it could jump off your breakfast plate in pursuit of a
better, unchewed life. But legs aren’t necessary for something as flat as a pancake to jump around. A group of
scientists have designed a pancake-shaped robot that can jump several times per second and higher than seven
times its body height. The new robot named Hop, which swiftly jumps without feet, is an important contribution
to the soft robotics.
Many ground robots move by rolling or walking. But it’s more efficient for robots to jump over obstacles
than to go around them. Although jumping can offer some robots a competitive edge, engineering that ability has
been a challenge for robotics researchers. Some soft robots that store energy can perform a single impressive jump
答案第4页，共2页very infrequently. Some lightweight soft robots that don’t store energy can jump frequently but can’t jump high or
far enough to successfully cross an obstacle.
For inspiration, the researchers looked to gall midge larvae (瘿蚊幼虫) that miraculously throw themselves
across distances 30 times as long as their loglike bodies. A gall midge larva bends its body and squeezes the liquid
in its body to one end, making it rigid. The accumulation of liquid builds up pressure, and releasing the pressure
sends it soaring. The robot’s body doesn’t resemble that of a gall midge larva, but it jumps like one. Its body is
made of two small plastic bags printed with electrodes (电极); the front bag is filled with liquid and the back one
is filled with the same volume of air. The robot uses electricity to drive the flow of liquid, which causes the body
to bend and generate force with the ground, resulting in a jump. And the air bag imitates the function of an
animal’s tail, helping the robot maintain a stable position.
While the robot is currently restricted to Earth, it might be right at home exploring another planet. If this is
true, the researchers’ robot might jump over dust y rocks and large holes on the moon or Mars, going where no
pancake has gone before.
35．What does the author want to show by mentioning a pancake?
A．A pancake’s dream to have legs is unrealistic.
B．A robot is capable of serving a good pancake.
C．A pancake-shaped robot can jump without legs.
D．Research on pancakes advances our understanding of robots.
36．What difficultly do robotics researchers have in developing Hop according to Paragraph 2?
A．Hop’s avoiding an obstacle.
B．Hop’s moving around by rolling.
C．Hop’s performing one remarkable jump.
D．Hop’s jumping high and far continuously.
37．What inspiration do the researchers draw from gall midge larvae?
A．They are shaped like logs.
B．They have tails to change positions.
C．They bend their bodies and increase force.
D．They are filled with liquid and have rigid bodies.
38．What is the author’s attitude to the future of the new robot?
A．Intolerant. B．Positive. C．Doubtful. D．Unclear.

The large-scale application of Beidou has now entered a critical stage of marketization, industrialization
and internationalization. 55 (enable) the BDS to empower industries, China will cultivate leading
enterprises, improve product quality and build a robust industrial ecosystem, according to the announcement. The
announcement outlines that the pilot projects will focus on three areas, namely mass consumption, manufacturing
and integrated 56 (innovate).
In the field of mass consumption, pilot cities will focus on areas such as smartphones, 57 (wear)
devices, tablets, shared travel tools and low-altitude drones. Enterprises 58 (encourage) to develop
and manufacture BeiDou-enabled devices, thereby 59 (improve) the supply of products.
In the field of industrial manufacturing, pilot cities will accelerate the application of BeiDou in key areas
60 automobiles, ships, aircraft and robots, the announcement says.
Local governments have been urged to encourage 61 construction of platforms related to the
internet of vehicles and intelligent networks and expand the proportion of commercial and passenger vehicles
