Dear Strangers,
I remember
you. Eighteen months ago, when my cell phone rang,
you were walking into
Whole Foods
36
to do your grocery
shopping, just as I had been only minutes before
you.
But I had already
37
my cart full of groceries in the
entryway, for my brother was on the
other end of the
38
telling me my father had
39
his own life early that morning.
I started to cry and scream as my whole
body
40
. I fell to the floor under
the
41
of
what I had just learned.
You could have kept on walking,
42
my cries, but you didn‘t. You
could
have
simply
stopped
and
stared
at
my
43
of
pain,
but
you
didn‘t.
Instead,
you
surrounded me as I yelled
44
my so
bs, ―My father killed
himself. He‘s dead.‖
I
remember
one
of
you
asked
for
my
phone.
You
needed
my
husband‘s name as
you
searched
through
my
45
.
I
remember
that
I
could
hear
your
46
as
you
tried
to
reach my husband for me,
leaving an
47
message for him
to call me. I recall hearing
you
discuss among yourselves who would drive me home
in my car and who would
48
that person back to the store. You
didn‘t even know one another, and you came around
me
with the common
49
—
to help.
In my
50
, I told you that I had a friend who
worked at Whole Foods, and one of you
brought her to me. And I even recall as
I sat with her, one of you
51
a
gift card for meals
高三英语

to Whole Foods. That gift
card helped to
52
my family when the idea of cooking was
so
far
53
my emotional reach.
I never
saw you after that. But I know this to be true:
Because you
54
out to help,
you
offered
a
ray
of
light
in
the
most
55
moment
I‘ve
ever
experienced.
I
will
never,
ever
forget you.

The spread of no-maintenance artificial
lawns is threatening
wildlife and rare plants,
conservationists and gardening experts
are warning. Gardens are an
increasingly important shelter for
wildlife which was forced into
withdrawing from the countryside
by
loss of the natural homes and intensive farming.
But the growth
in
the
popularity
of
artificial
lawns,
which
look
like
the
real
thing
but
require
no
cutting,
water
ing
or
fertilizing,
means
there‘s
no
shelter
in
an
increasing
number
of
Britain‘s
back
gardens.
Tim
Rumball,
editor
of
Amateur
Gardening
magazine,
said:
―Artificial
grass
these
days
looks
great and these days you can buy rolls of it
whereas before it was a very specialist thing. It
can take people a few minutes to
realize
they are on an artificial lawn
rather than a real one.‖
Besides
the
impact
on
wildlife,
a
damaging
impact
has
also
been
had
on
the
wider
environment
because
of
replacing
real
grass.
Mr
R
umball
said:
―Lawns
matter
a
lot.
Plants
change
carbon
dioxide
into
oxygen
and
if
all
the
lawns
are
taken
away
in
Britain
you
will
significantly
affect
the
carbon
levels
in
the
atmosphere.
When
grass
grows
longer,

insects. If
you
have an artificial lawn then these insects will be
reduced
and the whole of the
food chain will be affected, especially
birds that rely on insects for their
diet.‖
Joy
Wallis
of
Dorset
Wildlife
Trust
is
also
concerned
about
the
trend
for
artificial
grass.
―These
days,
gardens
are
a
shelter
for
wildlife.‖
she
said.
―Creatures
can‘t
survive
in
the
countryside because it
is so full of chemicals. Birds get absolutely
nothing from artificial grass,
and
they can‘t dig for worms or anything
like that. It seems a shame that people feel they
haven‘t
got the time or the tendency
t
o look after a lawn.‖
Robert Redcliffe of Namgrass, which
currently sells 10,000 square meters of artificial
grass
per week, says business
is
booming, adding,
―We started five
years ago
in the UK
and it can
transform the way you use the garden.
There
‘
s the obvious
advantage of no cutting or watering,
but
also
there‘s
no
mud
for
children
or
pets
to
walk
through
the
house.‖
He
disagrees
that
artificial grass is harmful to the
environment and added,
―There
ar
e ecological benefits. In the
long run the effect of artificial grass
is outweighed by not having to use a lawnmower,
running
water or
fertilizers.‖
58. What can
we learn from the growing trend for artificial
lawns?
A. More people are fed up with
the real lawns.
B. More people prefer
the lower price of artificial grass.
C. More people believe artificial grass
to look really better.
D. More people
pay less attention to taking care of the
environment.
59. What can
be inferred from what Robert Redcliffe says?
A.
Wildlife is likely to be threatened.
B. All enjoy the convenience of
artificial lawns.
C. He focuses on keeping
the balance of ecology.
D. Parents
spend more time accompanying children.
60
. The author‘s real
purpose of writing the passage is
t
o_________.
A.
warn the public against damaging the real lawns
B. emphasize the necessity of limiting
artificial lawns
C. provide ways
of protecting the living environment
D. give the
reasons for the popularity of artificial lawns
C
Robotic surgery is one thing, but
sending a robot inside the body to carry out an
operation
quite another, which has long
been a goal of some researchers to produce tiny
robotic devices
being capable of
traveling through the body to deliver drugs or to
make repairs without the need
for a
single cut, the possibility of which has just got
a bit closer.
However, unlike the plot
of one film
—
which featured a
microscopic crew and submarine
traveling through a scientist‘s
bloodstream —
this device could not be
inserted into blood
vessels
(管)
because
it
is
too
big.
While
other
types
of
miniature
swallowable
robots
have
been
developed in the past, their role has
mostly been limited to capturing images inside the
body. In a
presentation this week to
the International Conference, Daniela Rus and
Shuhei Miyashita of the
Massachusetts
Institute
of
Technology
described
a
robot
they
have
developed
that
can
be
swallowed and used to collect dangerous
objects accidentally taken in.
To test
their latest version, Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita
designed a robot as a battery hunter,
which might seem to be an odd task, but
more than 3,500 people in America alone, most of
them

children, swallow the tiny
button cells used in small electronic devices by
accident every year.
To start with, the
researchers created an artificial
esophagus
(食道)
and stomach
made out of
silicone(
硅胶
). It
was closely modeled on that found in a pig and
filled with medical liquid; the
robot
itself is made from several layers of different
materials, including pig
intestine
(肠)
, and
contains a little magnet. This is
folded up and encased in a 10mm×
27mm
capsule of ice. Once
this reaches the
stomach the ice melts and the robot unfolds which
is moved and
guided with the
use
of
a
magnetic
field
outside
the
body.
In
their
tests,
the
robot
was
able
to
touch
a
button
battery
and draw it with its own magnet, and during
dragging it along, the robot could then be
directed towards the intestines where
it would eventually be gotten rid of through the
anus(
肛门
).
After
it, the researchers sent in another robot loaded
with medication to deliver it to the site of
the battery burn to speed up healing.
The artificial stomach being
transparent on one side, the researchers were able
to see the
batteries and visually
control the robots. If not, that will require help
with the help from imaging
system,
which will be a bit more of a challenge, but Dr
Rus and Dr Miyashita are determined to
succeed.
61. According to
the passage, the robot operation will probably be
able to_________.
A. travel through a
scientist‘s bloodstream
B.
photograph the body to convey to the doctor
C. enter the body to
deliver drugs or make repairs
D. operate on a person outside the body
completely
62. We learn
from Paragraph 3 that _________.
A. the
researchers did the experiment on a chosen animal
B. the robot
took necessary drugs besides a little magnet
C. digesting the swallowed
batteries is difficult for children
D. the actual size of the
robot may be larger than the capsule of ice
63. What may the experiment
mean to the medical world?
A. The
surgeries will cost patients much money.
B. Patients will suffer
less for some surgeries.
C.
Fewer children will swallow the button cells.
D. A robot will be invented
travelling blood vessels.
64. Which can
be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. An Experiment on Robot
B. Tiny Robot, Significant Role
C. The Fantastic Robotic

D. The
