Clara Barton, born on December 25, 1821 in Oxford, Massachusetts, has a crucial and long-lasting impact on care giving and disaster relief in America and throughout the world.

She really began her life of caring for the sick at age 11. when her brother David was seriously injured while helping build a barn（谷仓）.She nursed him carefully for two years until he was healed.

Barton began teaching at age 17 and was greatly respected by her students. Twelve years later, she started a free public school for poor children in New Jersey. But within a  year. She had to leave after the school board voted to replace her as headmaster with a man.

Barton was working for the Patent Office Washington. D.C.  when the Civil War broke out in 1861. The wounded soldiers flooded the streets of Washington.  D.C. Then a temporary hospital was created in the uncompleted Capitol Building（国会大厦）.She brought them food，clothing and other necessities from her home， and launched a campaign for more relief items from friends and the public. More importantly, she spent hours with the homesick and suffering soldiers, writing letters and offering prayers and comfort. She worked long into the night assisting the surgeons, cooking food for the soldiers and tending the wounded, despite nearby gunfire flying overhead.

Barton made a deep impression on Union army surgeons at Antietam. One surgeon, Dr. James Dunn, said. “In my estimation, General McClellan,  with all his great honors, sinks into insignificance beside Barton, a true heroine of the age.”

After the war President Lincoln put Barton in charge of locating missing soldiers. When she returned to the United States, she successfully helped start the American Red Cross and became its first president.

A team of researchers at Harvard University and Emory University have created a school of robotic fish. They can swim by recreating the contractions（收缩）of a pumping heart. Researchers say the experiment could advance pacemaker（心脏起搏器）technology and improve the development of artificial hearts for humans.

Researchers built the zebrafish-based fish using paper，gelatin（明胶），plastic fin，and two layers of human heart muscle cells. One ran along the robot's left side, while the other along the right. When the muscle cells on one side contracted, the tail moved in that direction. This allowed the fish to swim in the water. The opposite side's muscle cell layer similarly stretched as a result of the action. This stretching then sent a signal to the cells, causing them to contract, which kept the swimming  motion going. The researchers also created an autonomous pacing node（节点），similar to a pacemaker， which controls the frequency and rhythm of these contractions.

The fish moved autonomously for over 108 days, equal to 38 million beats, the study stated. “Because heart cells constantly rebuild themselves, which takes about 20 days, the fish cells rebuild themselves about five times,” says Kit Parker, a professor from Harvard University who led the research. The fish eventually reached speeds and swimming efficiency comparable to wild zebrafish.

“Though the researchers say the fish is a step forward for heart research, it could be years before it leads to the creation of an artificial heart,” says Michael Schneider, a professor at Imperial College London, who wasn't involved in the study. But that doesn't dishearten Parker. “I think other methods will be faster than us,” says Parker. “But in the long run, creating tissue that relies on the patient's own cells could offer unexpected benefits."

28.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?

A.Why the robotic fish was created.

C.Who got involved in the experiment.

B.What enabled the robotic fish to swim.

D.How fast the robotic fish could swim.

29.Which is true about the robotic fish according to Paragraph 3?

A.They were rebuilt by human doctors.

C.They finally swam as fast as wild zebrafish.

B.They didn't move as Parker expected.

D.They grew into the size of wild zebrafish.

30.What does the underlined word “dishearten" mean in the last paragraph?

A.Discourage.

C.Amuse.

B.Surprise.

D.Relieve.

31.What can we learn from the text?

A.The findings may aid in heart research.

B.The first artificial hearts have been created.

C.Parker got no support from other scientists.

D.The researchers were upset about the findings.

D

Around the world，rivers seem to be either flooding or shrinking （缩小）.While Pakistan＇s rivers have left one-third of that country flooded and millions of people without homes, a drought unseen for 500 years has left Europe's major waterways almost dry. In the United States,the Kentucky River suffered deadly flooding this sunmer,while the Colorado River dropped sharply, which brought about water distribution cuts across several states.

There is little disagreement about what's going on. Scientists have warned for years that our changing climate will cause the frequency of both rainfall and droughts to increase, making the wet wetter and the dry drier,with more extreme impacts on rivers. The question now may be how to manage those waterways affected by climate change and，specifically，what role dams（大坝）should or should not play in relieving the disasters we've been seeing lately and will see more of.

Advocates say water storage dams will become more significant which can stop water during flooding and allow it out in times of droughts. Dams, they say, can help relieve climate change by producing clean hydropower （水电）.“Dams and hydropower are fundamental to climate relief and adaptation.＂says Richard Taylor，a leading hydropower expert.

Not so.  People holding opposite opinions claim that dams do more harm than good. Their arguments have long centered on the negative impact most dams have on biodiversity and river ecosystems, and increasing data show that dams actually worsen both floods and droughts. They also point out studies have shown that lakes created by dams often produce far more harmful greenhouse gases than people previously understood.

“Dams are thought to be a climate solution." says Isabella Winkler, who co-leads International Rivers, a U.S.-based advocacy group. “They have been praised as a source of green energy but they are actually not.”  besides, scientists warn that many existing dams use operating rules based on old climate assumptions. New dams. experts agree, must be built for the worst cases.

32.Why did the author mention some rivers in Paragraph 1?

A.To compare the rivers.

C.To introduce the topic.

B.To describe the disasters.

D.To analyze some findings.

33.What has been a long-existing concern to scientists?

A.Building dams destroys the ecosystem.

B.Climate change worsens natural disasters.

C.Hydropower increases the impact on disasters.

D.Waterways are in terrible condition widely.

34. What's Isabella Winkler's attitude towards building dams?

A.Doubtful.

C.Negative.

B.Positive.

D.Objective.

35.What is the main idea of the text?

A.The distribution of water in different areas.

B.The influence of hydropower on the environment.

C.Main causes of water shortage all around the world.

D.Different views on dams' role in fighting climate change.
