The noise of chattering mouths subsided (平息) as a teacher entered the classroom. “Good morning, class. I am Riffat Monaf, and I will be your geography teacher.” Riffat Monaf, a fascinating name and an attractive person. Her introduction took place about six years ago, and since then I have never met a more influential person in my life.
Mrs Monaf not only conquered me with her vast knowledge of geography, but also won me over with her smile and warm eyes. It was in her class that I traveled to the highest mountains and to the deepest seas from the comfort of the classroom. I learned about the vast oceans, the erupting volcanoes, the snow-capped mountains and the green valleys. She would often relate her adventures about traveling to different parts of the world.
Never can I forget the glory of her face when she talks about how truly beautiful this world is. If I search back my love for the environment and geography, I find her to be the source of my love for preserving nature. If one day I became an environmentalist, I know that I’ll thank her for it. Apart from this, she has always greeted me with open arms and she calls her students “my children”. Mrs Monaf’s morals and values rubbed off on me deeply and I have always taken account of her advice. She has been one of the most consistently good things in my life.
Currently, she is fighting a battle against breast cancer, and it pains me to know that after all she has done for me. I can do nothing for her except pray. Whenever I see her in school, she still keeps that kind smile and an expression so soft that it trembles my heart. Mrs Monaf still talks enthusiastically about geography, and I know that I can never see a greater person like her in my life.

C
Metin Sitti at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany, and his colleagues have developed tiny robots called “microrollers” that can carry cancer drugs and selectively target human breast cancer cells. The team drew inspiration for the design of the robots from white blood cells in the human body, which can move along the walls of blood vessels (血管) against the direction of blood flow.
The microrollers are round and made from glass microparticles. One half of the robot was coated with a thin magnetic nanofilm (磁性纳米膜) made from nickel and gold. The other half was coated with the cancer drug doxorubicin as well as molecules that recognize cancer cells.
The team tested the robots using mouse blood and artificial channels lined with human endothelial cells—the kind of cells that line the inner walls of our blood vessels. The robots were exposed to a mixture of cancerous and healthy tissue. The microrollers selectively attached to the cancer cells and were activated using UV light to release the doxorubicin.
By applying magnetic fields, the team was able to control the movement of the microrollers, both with and against the flow of blood. The microrollers can reach a speed of up to 600 micrometers per second. “If you come to a spot where you need to take the right path and if you miss it, then you could go back and go to the right one,” says Setti.
In future the researchers want to use other methods to start the drug release, such as heat or near-infrared light. They also plan to try making microrollers out of materials that would break down in the body over a few weeks or months.
The team hopes to test the microrollers in animals soon. “The rollers need to carry enough cancer drugs, which is why we need to have them in large numbers,” says Setti. “But since we can locally take drugs to the right target, we don’t need huge dosages (剂量).”
8. What can the microrollers be used for
A. Repairing blood cells. B. Delivering drugs. C. Improving blood flow. D. Performing operations.
9. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the microrollers
A. Their shape. B. Their advantage. C. Their design. D. Their application.
10. What can we learn about the robots from Paragraph 4
A. Their direction can be adjusted. B. They might miss the target cells.
C. They might get stuck in the blood. D. Their speed can change automatically.
11. What will the scientists probably do next
A. Put the microrollers to clinical use. B. Sell the microrollers in large quantities.
C. Tear the microrollers down in the body. D. Experiment with the microrollers further.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】

【9题详解】
主旨大意题。第二段“The microrollers are round and made from glass microparticles. One half of the robot was coated with a thin magnetic nanofilm made from nickel and gold. The other half was coated with the cancer drug doxorubicin as well as molecules that recognize cancer cells.”（microroller是圆形的，由玻璃微粒制成。机器人的一半表面覆盖着一层由镍和金制成的磁性纳米薄膜。另一半涂有抗癌药物阿霉素以及识别癌细胞的分子）可知，第二段主要介绍了这种微型机器人的形状，构成材料等，即小型机器人“microroller”的设计。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“By applying magnetic fields, the team was able to control the movement of the microrollers, both with and against the flow of blood.”（通过施加磁场，该团队能够控制microroller的运动，包括在顺着和逆着血液流动的情况下）可知，通过应用磁场，研究小组能够控制这种机器人的运动，无论是顺着血液流动的方向还是逆着血液流动的方向。即它的运动方向是可以调整的。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“The team hopes to test the microrollers in animals soon. “The rollers need to carry enough cancer drugs, which is why we need to have them in large numbers,” says Setti.（该团队希望很快在动物身上测试microroller。Setti说：“微型机器人需要携带足够的药，这就是我们需要大量使用它们的原因。”）推知，科学家要对这种机器人进行进一步的实验。故选D项。
D
Over the past few years, as architects and city planners have confronted the tragedy of our planet losing species at rates never seen in human history, many have started designing more greenery into urban areas, creating tidy plots of grass with non-native flowers. But European designers Hougaard and Qual find it problematic. These green spaces don’t actually encourage wildlife to grow. To counter that, the designers created outdoor furniture that would be beautiful to look at, but also allow bugs, birds, and wildflowers to thrive, nurturing biodiversity in cities and rewilding urban spaces.
The natural world tends to appear messy, chaotic, with plants and animals interacting with each other. Bacteria, plants, and insects thrive in rotting logs. Birds and bees create homes in dead, hollow tree trunks. Weeds and flowers grow in wild patches of grass. People consider this as messy and dirty, trying to get rid of them in cities despite the fact that even though wildlife appears chaotic, there is often method in the madness.
Qual had this in mind when creating a large, leaf-shaped insect hotel to be placed on a flower bed. The structure contains wooden blocks with different size of holes for different insect species. Hougaard created a metal log bench with an empty space in the middle to provide a habitat for creatures. He also created planting containers without a base, which are placed right on top of the soil and filled with different materials to provide a place for insects, reptiles, and small animals to hide and find food. They can also interact with earthworms and other creatures in the soil underneath, creating a thriving ecosystem.
Will people actually want to be so close to bugs, snakes, and nesting birds The designers acknowledge that modern humans have been trained to stay away from such creatures. But these structures keep animals contained, while allowing people to observe and appreciate them safely. And ultimately, humans need to become much more comfortable living alongside wildlife.
12. What do Hougaard and Qaul notice about creating tidy grass plots in urban areas
A. It encourages the growth of wildlife.
B. It keeps a more balanced ecosystem.
C. It doesn’t increase species diversity.
D. It doesn’t damage the habitat of species.
13. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2
A. To describe the peace of nature.
B. To describe the law of the jungle.
C. To show the need for rewilding urban areas.
D. To introduce the design basis of “outdoor furniture”.
14. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. The concept of order and messiness.
B. The goal to keep cities organized.
C. The plan to design more greenery.
D. The tragedy of losing species
15. What can we infer about the author from the text
A. He is also a designer of insect hotels.
B. He is in support of Hougaard and Qual’s idea.
C. He is a strong advocate for a chaotic lifestyle.
D. He is against keeping animals caged.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了设计师们设计出外观户外家具，这些结构可以让动物待在里面，同时允许人们安全地观察和欣赏它们。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But European designers Hougaard and Qual find it problematic. These green spaces don’t actually encourage wildlife to grow.(但是欧洲设计师Hougaard和Qual发现了这个问题。这些绿地实际上并不能促进野生动物的生长)”可知，霍加德和圭尔注意到这些绿地并不鼓励野生生物生长，不会增加物种多样化。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The natural world tends to appear messy, chaotic, with plants and animals interacting with each other.(自然世界往往显得凌乱、混乱，植物和动物相互作用)”以及第三段中的“Qual had this in mind when creating a large, leaf-shaped insect hotel to be placed on a flower bed.(当Qual在花坛上建造一个巨大的叶子形昆虫旅馆时，他就想到了这一点)”可知，自然界虽然显得杂乱，但是动植物是相互作用的，设计师们在涉及户外家具时会考虑到这一点。由此推知，作者打算通过本段为户外家具的设计提供依据。故选D项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“People consider this as messy and dirty, trying to get rid of them in cities despite the fact that even though wildlife appears chaotic, there is often method in the madness.(人们认为这是混乱和肮脏的，试图在城市中摆脱它们，尽管事实上，即使野生动物看起来混乱，但疯狂中往往有方法)”以及第三段中的“Qual had this in mind when creating a large, leaf-shaped insect hotel to be placed on a flower bed.(当Qual在花坛上建造一个巨大的叶子形昆虫旅馆时，他就想到了这一点)”可知，圭尔在创建昆虫旅馆时考虑到了条理和混乱的概念，this指代上文提到的“条理和混乱的概念”。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But these structures keep animals contained, while allowing people to observe and appreciate them safely. And ultimately, humans need to become much more comfortable living alongside wildlife.(但这些结构使动物受到限制，同时允许人们安全地观察和欣赏它们。最终，人类需要更舒适地与野生动物生活在一起)”可知，作者认为霍加德和圭尔设计的结构能够让人们安全地观察和欣赏它们，最终更加舒适地和野生动物生活在一起。由此推知，作者支持霍加德和圭尔的想法。故选B项。

● Consider the context of what is written.
You may be reading something that was written by an author from a different cultural context than yours. Or, you may be reading something written some time ago in a different time context than yours. In either case, you must recognize and take into account any differences between your values and attitudes and those represented by the author.
● ____17____
Don’t accept what is written at face value. Before accepting what is written, be certain that the author provides sufficient support for any statements made. Look for facts, examples, and statistics that provide support. Also, look to see if the author has integrated the work of authorities.
● Analyze assumptions made by the author.
Assumptions are whatever the author must believe is true in order to make statements. ____18____ This means you must read carefully in order to identify any assumptions. Once you identify an assumption, you must decide whether or not the assumption is valid.
● ____19____
In doing this, be certain that the sources are reliable. For example, Einstein is a reliable source if the author is writing about landmark achievements in physics. ____20____ Einstein is not a relevant source when the subject is poetry. Finally if the author is writing about a subject in its current state, be sure that the sources are current. For example, studies done by Einstein in the early 20th century may not be appropriate if the writer is discussing the current state of knowledge in physics.
A. Evaluate the sources the author uses.
B. Question statements made by the author.
C. Also be certain that the sources are relevant.
D. Identify any possible prejudice the author has.
E. Here are the things you should do to be a critical reader.

G. In many cases, the author’s assumptions are not directly stated.
【答案】16 E 17. B 18. G 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是如何成为一名批判性的读者。
【16题详解】
空格前说“Critical reading involves questioning and evaluating what the author is saying and forming your own opinions.(。批判性阅读包括质疑和评估作者所说的内容，形成自己的观点。)”，空格后是一些方法，因此空格处应引出有方法可以让人成为批判性读者，E选项“Here are the things you should do to be a critical reader.(要成为一个批判性的读者，以下是你应该做的事情。)”引出下文的方法，因此E选项承上启下，符合语境，故选E。
【17题详解】
空格处是本段的小标题，由空格后的“Don’t accept what is written at face value. Before accepting what is written, be certain that the author provides sufficient support for any statements made. Look for facts, examples, and statistics that provide support. Also, look to see if the author has integrated the work of authorities.(不要接受表面的内容。在接受所写的内容之前，要确定作者对任何陈述都提供了足够的支持。寻找能够提供支持的事实、例子和统计数据。另外，看看作者是否整合了权威的作品。)”可知，本段主要讲的是要质疑作者所写的内容，B选项“Question statements made by the author.(质疑作者做出的陈述。)”概括了本段的主题，符合语境，故选B。
【18题详解】
空格前说“Assumptions are whatever the author must believe is true in order to make statements.(假设是作者为了陈述而必须相信的东西。)”，空格后说“This means you must read carefully in order to identify any assumptions.(这意味着你必须仔细阅读，以识别任何假设。)”，这说明假设不是那么容易识别的，G选项“In many cases, the author’s assumptions are not directly stated.(在许多情况下，作者的假设没有直接陈述。)”说明了假设不容易识别，这就需要仔细阅读，因此G选项承上启下，符合语境，故选G。
【19题详解】

On a hot September afternoon, Peter and his friend Isabel were on their way to the library. When they passed by Tubman park, Isabel suggested cutting through it to get to the library. As they entered the park, the sight of the swings (秋千) and the merry-go-round brought back a flood of memories of their childhood spent there. But now everything looked so old, sad, and dirty. Litter lay on the ground next to an overflowing trash bin. There were still young schoolchildren playing there but they had to avoid the trash that littered the playground. A little boy told them that the city took the other trash cans away and the remaining one never got emptied often.
As they headed toward the library, the two high school students wrinkled their forehead. In the library, they encountered Mrs. Evans, their kind-hearted fifth-grade teacher, retired yet still passionate. Mrs. Evans listened as Isabel and Peter eagerly explained what they’d seen. Finally, she recommended them to go to the City Hall to voice their concerns.
The next day, Isabel and Peter went into the building of the City Hall but were met with an impatient officer. They were informed that the city couldn’t help with their problem due to a tight budget. Discouraged, they left and turned to Mrs. Evans for help.
Under her guidance, they decided to ask Go Green, a non-profit organization whose goal is to protect the environment, for help. “This group is good at raising money for projects just like yours, ” said Mrs. Evans. She promised to arrange them to present their ideas to Go Green. Hearing this, their face lit up.
Two main tasks remained ahead: researching ways to clean up the park and preparing a convincing presentation. As Isabel was good at researching while Peter always had a talent for speaking, they cooperated quite well. Isabel learned from a science magazine that a new type of trash bin can squeeze the trash down without being emptied often, which saves time, money, and energy. Based on this, Peter practiced his presentation over and over again.

【答案】A week later, Peter stood nervously at the back of the hall where Go Green was meeting. Finally, it was time for him to do the presentation. Standing in front of several experts from Go Green, Peter was nervous in fear of screwing things up. But unbelievably, when he began to speak, everything went so smoothly. His voice was clear and influential, and his speech was logical and well-organized. Peter ended his presentation with a deep bow and went out to wait for Go Green’s decision.
After the meeting, Isabel excitedly told Peter the good news. Their ideas were approved and Go Green agreed to provide the money they needed to purchase the trash bin. Peter smiled. It meant not only their efforts paid off, but also Tubman park would restore its cleanness and tidiness. Peter and Isabel decided to tell Mrs. Evans this good news first and then worked out the next step they needed to take.

The noise of chattering mouths subsided (平息) as a teacher entered the classroom. “Good morning, class. I am Riffat Monaf, and I will be your geography teacher.” Riffat Monaf, a fascinating name and an attractive person. Her introduction took place about six years ago, and since then I have never met a more influential person in my life.
Mrs Monaf not only conquered me with her vast knowledge of geography, but also won me over with her smile and warm eyes. It was in her class that I traveled to the highest mountains and to the deepest seas from the comfort of the classroom. I learned about the vast oceans, the erupting volcanoes, the snow-capped mountains and the green valleys. She would often relate her adventures about traveling to different parts of the world.
Never can I forget the glory of her face when she talks about how truly beautiful this world is. If I search back my love for the environment and geography, I find her to be the source of my love for preserving nature. If one day I became an environmentalist, I know that I’ll thank her for it. Apart from this, she has always greeted me with open arms and she calls her students “my children”. Mrs Monaf’s morals and values rubbed off on me deeply and I have always taken account of her advice. She has been one of the most consistently good things in my life.
Currently, she is fighting a battle against breast cancer, and it pains me to know that after all she has done for me. I can do nothing for her except pray. Whenever I see her in school, she still keeps that kind smile and an expression so soft that it trembles my heart. Mrs Monaf still talks enthusiastically about geography, and I know that I can never see a greater person like her in my life.

Metin Sitti at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany, and his colleagues have developed tiny robots called “microrollers” that can carry cancer drugs and selectively target human breast cancer cells. The team drew inspiration for the design of the robots from white blood cells in the human body, which can move along the walls of blood vessels (血管) against the direction of blood flow.
The microrollers are round and made from glass microparticles. One half of the robot was coated with a thin magnetic nanofilm (磁性纳米膜) made from nickel and gold. The other half was coated with the cancer drug doxorubicin as well as molecules that recognize cancer cells.
The team tested the robots using mouse blood and artificial channels lined with human endothelial cells—the kind of cells that line the inner walls of our blood vessels. The robots were exposed to a mixture of cancerous and healthy tissue. The microrollers selectively attached to the cancer cells and were activated using UV light to release the doxorubicin.
By applying magnetic fields, the team was able to control the movement of the microrollers, both with and against the flow of blood. The microrollers can reach a speed of up to 600 micrometers per second. “If you come to a spot where you need to take the right path and if you miss it, then you could go back and go to the right one,” says Setti.
In future, the researchers want to use other methods to start the drug release, such as heat or near-infrared light. They also plan to try making microrollers out of materials that would break down in the body over a few weeks or months.
The team hopes to test the microrollers in animals soon. “The rollers need to carry enough cancer drugs, which is why we need to have them in large numbers,” says Setti. “But since we can locally take drugs to the right target, we don’t need huge dosages (剂量).”
8. What can the microrollers be used for
A. Repairing blood cells. B. Delivering drugs. C. Improving blood flow. D. Performing operations.
9. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the microrollers
A. Their shape. B. Their advantage. C. Their design. D. Their application.
10. What can we learn about the robots from Paragraph 4
A. Their direction can be adjusted. B. They might miss the target cells.
C. They might get stuck in the blood. D. Their speed can change automatically.
11 What will the scientists probably do next
A. Put the microrollers to clinical use. B. Sell the microrollers in large quantities.
C. Tear the microrollers down in the body. D. Experiment with the microrollers further.
D
Over the past few years, as architects and city planners have confronted the tragedy of our planet losing species at rates never seen in human history, many have started designing more greenery into urban areas, creating tidy plots of grass with non-native flowers. But European designers Hougaard and Qual find it problematic. These green spaces don’t actually encourage wildlife to grow. To counter that, the designers created outdoor furniture that would be beautiful to look at, but also allow bugs, birds, and wildflowers to thrive, nurturing biodiversity in cities and rewilding urban spaces.
The natural world tends to appear messy, chaotic, with plants and animals interacting with each other. Bacteria, plants, and insects thrive in rotting logs. Birds and bees create homes in dead, hollow tree trunks. Weeds and flowers grow in wild patches of grass. People consider this as messy and dirty, trying to get rid of them in cities despite the fact that even though wildlife appears chaotic, there is often method in the madness.
Qual had this in mind when creating a large, leaf-shaped insect hotel to be placed on a flower bed. The structure contains wooden blocks with different size of holes for different insect species. Hougaard created a metal log bench with an empty space in the middle to provide a habitat for creatures. He also created planting containers without a base, which are placed right on top of the soil and filled with different materials to provide a place for insects, reptiles, and small animals to hide and find food. They can also interact with earthworms and other creatures in the soil underneath, creating a thriving ecosystem.
Will people actually want to be so close to bugs, snakes, and nesting birds The designers acknowledge that modern humans have been trained to stay away from such creatures. But these structures keep animals contained, while allowing people to observe and appreciate them safely. And ultimately, humans need to become much more comfortable living alongside wildlife.
12. What do Hougaard and Qaul notice about creating tidy grass plots in urban areas
A. It encourages the growth of wildlife.
B. It keeps a more balanced ecosystem.
C. It doesn’t increase species diversity.
D. It doesn’t damage the habitat of species.
13. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2
A. To describe the peace of nature.
B. To describe the law of the jungle.
C. To show the need for rewilding urban areas.
D. To introduce the design basis of “outdoor furniture”.
14. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. The concept of order and messiness.
B. The goal to keep cities organized.
C. The plan to design more greenery.
D. The tragedy of losing species
15. What can we infer about the author from the text
A. He is also a designer of insect hotels.
B. He is in support of Hougaard and Qual’s idea.
C. He is a strong advocate for a chaotic lifestyle.
D. He is against keeping animals caged.

On a hot September afternoon, Peter and his friend Isabel were on their way to the library. When they passed by Tubman park, Isabel suggested cutting through it to get to the library. As they entered the park, the sight of the swings (秋千) and the merry-go-round brought back a flood of memories of their childhood spent there. But now everything looked so old, sad, and dirty. Litter lay on the ground next to an overflowing trash bin. There were still young schoolchildren playing there but they had to avoid the trash that littered the playground. A little boy told them that the city took the other trash cans away and the remaining one never got emptied often.
As they headed toward the library, the two high school students wrinkled their forehead. In the library, they encountered Mrs. Evans, their kind-hearted fifth-grade teacher, retired yet still passionate. Mrs. Evans listened as Isabel and Peter eagerly explained what they’d seen. Finally, she recommended them to go to the City Hall to voice their concerns.
The next day, Isabel and Peter went into the building of the City Hall but were met with an impatient officer. They were informed that the city couldn’t help with their problem due to a tight budget. Discouraged, they left and turned to Mrs. Evans for help.
Under her guidance, they decided to ask Go Green, a non-profit organization whose goal is to protect the environment, for help. “This group is good at raising money for projects just like yours, ” said Mrs. Evans. She promised to arrange them to present their ideas to Go Green. Hearing this, their face lit up.
Two main tasks remained ahead: researching ways to clean up the park and preparing a convincing presentation. As Isabel was good at researching while Peter always had a talent for speaking, they cooperated quite well. Isabel learned from a science magazine that a new type of trash bin can squeeze the trash down without being emptied often, which saves time, money, and energy. Based on this, Peter practiced his presentation over and over again.

A week later, Peter stood nervously at the back of the hall where Go Green was meeting.
