Born on July 1st,1948, in the small Italian city of Palmi, Roberto Crea was a genius kid. He moved to the Netherlands and majored in Biological Chemistry in the University of Leiden. It was this university that directed his interest in the synthesis of nucleotides, the basic units that are required to build a DNA. At that time, not many researchers studied the combination of genes, but Roberto’s strong chemistry background made a historical invention possible.

In 1977, he joined the Genentech, Inc. and the gene synthesis team at City of Hope Medical School. The company funded Dr. Crea’s on-going research on gene synthesis. After working day and night, the brilliant individual finally invented a new procedure that improved the chemical synthesis of genes. Thanks to his rich knowledge and the joint efforts of the excellent Genentech team, he made use of this discovery to produce the human insulin genes, A and B. It was his invention that allowed Genentech to be labeled as the first producer of human protein. This benefited hundreds of millions of people suffering from diabetes all over the world.

Today Roberto is known as the father of synthetic insulin (合成胰岛素) and almost won the Nobel Prize. His efforts did not stop after discovering the synthetic insulin；in fact, he was more than driven and tried to make more contributions to the field of biotechnology. His team of experts discovered Ziconotide under his teachings and guidance. According to leading scientists and researchers, this drug is more powerful and effective than morphine, and the best part of this is that it has zero side-effects.

Dr. Roberto Crea has a long list of creditable discoveries and researches that he has achieved in 65 years of his life. He is an inspiration for many individuals who aim to add value to humanity with the help of science.

24. What may contribute to Roberto’s invention of the human insulin?

A. His good luck in his life.

B. His curiosity about his study.

C. His creative imagination.

D. His knowledge of chemistry.

25. What do the underlined words “this discovery” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. A special way of producing human protein.

B. A reliable method for curing people of diabetes.

C. A new procedure for improving the synthesis of genes.

D. A simple technique of separating human genes.

26. What do we know about Roberto in Paragraph 3?

A. He won a Nobel Prize.

B. He stuck to his scientific research.

C. He discovered morphine with his team.

D. He retired after making the great discovery.

27. Which of the following best describes Roberto?

Rain is vital to life on Earth. However, rain isn’t just made of water anymore - it’s partly made of plastic.

Millions of tiny pieces of plastic, called microplastics, are wandering around Earth’s atmosphere and traveling across entire continents, according to a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on April 12. Another study, published in the journal Science in June 2020, has revealed that every year more than 1,000 tons of the particles - equivalent to over 120 million plastic bottles - fall in rain.

Microplastics are plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in diameter and come from a number of sources. Plastic bags and bottles released into the environment break down into smaller and smaller bits. Some microplastics are manufactured deliberately to provide abrasion in a host of products, such as toothpaste and cleansers, according to the Daily Mail. Another major source is your washing machine. When you wash synthetic clothing, tiny microfibers get flushed away with the wastewater. Even though the water is treated by a wastewater plant, the microplastics remain, and they are released into the sea, according to American magazine Wired.

Plastic rain may remind people of acid rain, but the former is far more widespread and harder to deal with. The tiny particles, too small to be seen with the naked eye, are collected by the wind from the ground. They are so light that they stay in the air to be blown around the globe. As they climb into the atmosphere, they are thought to act as nuclei around which water vapor condenses to form clouds. Some of the dust falls back to land in dry conditions, while the rest comes down as rain, according to the Daily Mail.

Microplastics have been found everywhere you can imagine. From fish and frogs to mice and mosquitoes, their bodies have been found, on average, to contain 40 pieces of microplastic, reported Daily Mail. As the top of the food chain, humans are exposed to microplastics, too. “ We live on a ball inside a bubble,” microplastic researcher Steve Allen at University of Strathelyde, Scotland, told Wired. “There are no borders, there are no edges. It (plastic rain) is raining on the land and then getting blown back up into the air again, to move somewhere else. There’s no stopping it once it’s out.”

28. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A. How microplastics are used widely.

B. How microplastics come into being.

C. How microplastics pollute water.

D. How microplastics should be handled.

29. What do we know about microplastics?

A. They are light and can be easily dealt with.

B. They result in both acid rain and plastic rain.

C. They have nearly affected the whole food chain.

D. They have a diameter of at least 5 millimeters.

30. What do Steve Allen’s words mean in the last paragraph?

A. Countries should work together to fight pollution.

B. The atmosphere possesses the capacity to self-cleanse.

C. It is important to remove microplastics somewhere else.

D. No place is safe from microplastic pollution.

31. Which of the following can be the best title?

A. The sources and effects of microplastics.

B. The difference between acid rain and plastic rain.

C. The dangers of microplastics.

D. The microplastics in food chain.

D

Electronics woven (编织) into fabrics promise to open up all kinds of interesting possibilities, from clothing that monitors muscle activity and tracks breathing, to garments that can talk to one another. Developing pliable power sources to go with them is an equally important field of research, so scientists at the University of British Columbia have put forward a particularly impressive solution that they say could be the first ever battery that is both stretchable and washable.

To develop a battery with such capabilities, the scientists reimagined the way these devices are put together. Rather than forming a lithium-ion battery packed with hardened materials inside a rigid exterior, the team turned to an alternative chemistry in zinc-manganese (锌锰) dioxide, which is appealing for its low cost and safety. These materials were ground down into tiny pieces and inset in a polymer (聚合物) to form very thin and stretchable layers.

“We went with zinc-manganese because for devices worn next to the skin, it’s a safer chemistry than lithium-ion batteries, which can produce deadly compounds when they break,” says Nguyen.

The resulting battery is flexible and can be stretched to twice its normal length, has a specific capacity of 160 mAh g-1 and keeps 75 percent of its capacity over 500 charge and discharge cycles. Impressively, the team found the battery to withstand 39 wash cycles so far.

The team is now working to improve the power output and lifetime of the battery, and says the creation has already attracted commercial interest, with the cost expected to be similar to a standard rechargeable battery. They imagine it being put to use in watches and patches that measure vital signs, and in smart clothing that does much the same thing.

32. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “pliable” in paragraph 1?

A. Strong.          B. Multiple. C. Reliable.         D. Flexible.

33. What was a major consideration for introducing zinc—manganese battery?

A. Safety.          B. Hardness.      C. Comfortableness.  D. Convenience.

34. Which aspect of the new battery impressed the researchers in paragraph 4?

A. Its stretch length. B. Its washability.

C. Its massive capacity. D. Its charge speed.

35. What is the main idea of the text?

A. Electronic clothing is well received.

B. Clothing fitted with new battery is on the way.

C. Flexible and washable power sources woven into clothing will be available.

D. Electronics woven into fabrics open up possibilities.

Paragraph 1:

Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of myhorse. It resembled a fury ball with eyes shining like sapphires. So frightened was my horse that it ranwildly off. I held more tightly the reins fastened to the horse, struggling to keep it under control. Fortunately, minutes later, the horse stopped before a river but both the horse and I were out of breath and exhausted. Right at that moment, I heard the steps of another horse approaching from afar. It was my dad, who sighed with relief after seeing me safe and sound. But it was obvious that we got lost!

Paragraph 2:

We had no idea where we were and it got dark. We also had no idea how to return to the farm house. Suddenly it occurred to us that we could keep to the track to guide us back. But it was getting darker and darker, thus making it increasingly difficult for us to make out the road. Therefore, we had to lead the horse, bend down and clearly spot the track step by step. It was more than half an hour later that we finally saw some light ahead of us! It was from the farm house!
