Since the 17th century, Paris has always been a splendid ancient city because the height f the buildings in this city desn't exceed 31 meters. In the past, Paris was always famus fr its unique lw skyline. And the wrld lved Paris because it was beautiful. But tday the riginal beauty f Paris is under threat.
In 2008, the cnstructin f six skyscraper prjects was apprved and it gt successfully launched at the City's gate. Tur Triangle standing 180meters tall frm a trapezid (梯形) base was cmpleted in 2020,making it the city's third tallest building.
"A city must be full f life," said De Lafnd, JLL's directr f prject and develpment services in France, "A city must nt be afraid t grw within its wn walls." Tur Triangle culd be the start f Paris's mving up t the cluds.
Tday sme peple claim that Paris needs t retain its urban frms based n its histry, all the while permitting cntemprary architectural expressin. They believe that with the develpment f technlgy and human civilizatin, the appearance f the city shuld match it.
But ppnents claim that while France takes pride in aesthetic(美学的)excellence, these skyscrapers are ugly. They damage distinct characteristics f its surrundings. Paris desn't need skyscrapers. The city has t much empty ffice space and a shrtage f husing, but the e new buildings are chiefly fr ffices, and nne is fr husing. Experts say these skyscrapers can't meet recmmended lcal sustainability standards.
Althugh Paris is the wrld's city, that desn't mean it can't stand ut in the wrld with its wn lng histry and unique culture.

Western false asphdel—a herb-like plant fund in abundance alng Nrth America's West Cast—has been knwn t science since 1879. Hwever, it is nly recently that researchers frm the University f British Clumbia discvered the inncent-lking plant's lve fr insects. "We had n idea that it was carnivrus(食虫的)," says study c-authr Sean Graham. "This was nt fund in sme unusual lcatins, but right n ur drstep in Vancuver. Yu culd walk ut frm Vancuver t this field site." The researchers fund the plant's well-kept secret accidentally. While studying plant genetics, they nticed that western false asphdel lacks the same gene as ther insect-eating plants. Since the plant can grw well in the same kind f wet, sunny habitat with nutrient-pr sil as ther carnivrus plants, they wndered if it trapped insects fr nutritin as well. "And then they have these sticky branches," Graham tld a media wrker. "S I wnder if this culd be a sign that this might be carnivrus."
T test if the plant culd absrb animal nutrients, the team attached sme dead fruit flies t the sticky hairs n the plant. The insects had been fed with nitrgen-l5 istpes(氮-15同位素). The cmmnly used technique allws scientists t determine the flw f the gas. Sure enugh, they fund that ver half f the wildflwer's nitrgen came frm the fruit flies. Additinally, the digestive enzyme(消化酶) released by the plant's sticky hairs was similar t that fund in ther carnivrus plants.
The scientists say this is the first time they have seen the traps n the flwer. Mst carnivrus plants develp unique structures further away frm their flwers t prevent accidentally killing insect pllinatrs (传粉者).Western false asphdel can get away with its unusual prey-capturing technique because the sticky hairs n its stem can nly capture small insects, nt larger bees r butterflies that can act as pllinatrs.
28．What is new t researchers abut western false asphdel?
A.It has a taste fr insects.
B.It's abundant in Nrth America.
C.It is classified as a herb-like plant.
D.It can be used fr analyzing plant genetics.
29．What is a characteristic f carnivrus plants?
A.They lack special sticky branches.
B.They have different digestive enzymes.
C.They can grw well in nutrient-pr sil.
D.They tend t share nutrients when necessary.
30．What was the researchers' purpse f using nitrgen-15 istpes in their research?
A.T attract insects t the wildflwer.
B.T help the wildflwer digest fd better.
C.T analyze hw the wildflwer breaks dwn its fd.
D.T determine whether the wildflwer wuld eat the fruit flies.
31．What d we learn abut western false asphdel?
A.It kills a lt f insects daily t feed itself.
B.It can survive better withut natural pllinatrs.
C.It can avid harming its pllinatrs accidentally.
D.It relies n a nrmal technique f capturing fd.
Fr mst children and even sme adults, swallwing pills r tablets is difficult. Researchers at MIT and Brigham and Wmen's Hspital have created a drug-delivering gel (凝胶)that is much easier t swallw and culd be used fr different kinds f drugs. The gels are made frm plant-based ils.
Nearly 10 years ag, the research team started t think abut new ways t make it easier fr children t take medicines that are nrmally given as pills. At that time, there were sme strategies that culd help with this, but nne was a perfect slutin. Sme drugs can be suspended in water, but that requires clean water t be available, and the drugs need t be refrigerated after being mixed. T try t address thse issues, the researchers set ut t develp a new drug-delivering system that wuld be inexpensive, tasty, stable at extreme temperatures, and cmpatible (兼容的)with many different drugs. They als wanted t make sure that drugs wuld nt need t be mixed with water. Then the researchers decided t fcus n il-based gels.
T make it pssible t use these medicines in areas that may nt have refrigeratin available, the researchers designed gels s that they culd be stable at 40℃ fr several weeks, and even up t 60℃ fr ne week. Such high temperatures are uncmmn but culd be reached when drugs are being transprted by trucks withut refrigeratin.
The researchers have btained apprval t run a phase I clinical trial f their prduct, which they hpe t start running at the Brigham and Wmen's Hspital Center fr Clinical Investigatin within the next few mnths.
This apprach will change ur capacity fr what we can d fr kids, and als fr adults wh have difficulty receiving medicatin. Given the simplicity f the system and its lw cst, the drug-delivering system can have a great impact n patients. And the gels can be used t deliver several types f medicines fr the treatment f infectius diseases.
32．Why was the new drug-delivering system created?
A.T prevent medicines frm being misused.
B.T reduce the side effects f certain medicines.
C.T relieve the pressure f railway transprtatin.
D.T make up fr the shrtcmings f existing strategies.
33．What is special abut the drug-delivering gels?
A.They can react quickly with water.
B.They help treat heat-related diseases.
C.Their heat resistance facilitates safe strage.
D.Their taste becmes better after refrigeratin.
34．What is the authr's attitude twards the gels?
A.Supprtive.B.Uncertain.C.Dubtful D.Indifferent.
35．Which f the fllwing can be a suitable title fr the text?
A.New drugs fr kids cause public debate
B.Swallwing sme gels is difficult fr children
C.Plant-based gels make pill swallwing easier
D.A drug-delivering system gains ppularity
