答题时间：30分钟
一、
A contact lens (隐形眼镜) that can release a drug if it detects high pressure within the eye has been created by scientists who say it could help treat glaucoma.
Glaucoma is an eye disease that involves damage to the optic nerve, and can lead to blindness if not treated. According to the charity Glaucoma UK, the most common form of the disease, known as primary open angle glaucoma, is thought to affect almost 10% of people older than 75. This form is generally caused by increased pressure within the eye, usually as a result of a buildup of fluid.
Researchers in China revealed they have developed a contact lens that can sense an increase in pressure within the eye and release an anti-glaucoma drug if the pressure transcends a certain level.
Writing in the journal Nature Communications, the team describe how they created the device using an upper and lower lens, with a snowflake-shaped pressure sensor and wireless power transfer device sandwiched between them around the rim of the lenses. When the pressure inside the eye increases, the gap between the upper and lower lenses decreases. This is detected by the pressure sensor by means of a cantilever. The sensor then sends a signal to the wireless system which subsequently triggers the release of an anti-glaucoma drug, from a hydrogel attached to an electrode, and enables it to cross the cornea of the eye. The drug, brimonidine, acts to reduce the pressure within the eye.
The study reveals that the contact lenses have so far been tested on pigs’ eyes and on the eyes of living rabbits—albeit with smaller-sized lenses—although trials have yet to be carried out in humans. The researchers note the lenses are not only soft and minimally invasive but are also battery-free, adding that the approach could be expanded to help tackle other eye diseases.
Prof Zubair Ahmed from the Institute of Inflammation and Ageing at the University of Birmingham who was not involved in the work, said the research was potentially very exciting, adding that a rise in pressure within the eye was a significant problem for most people with glaucoma. “The materials required to create such contact lenses are inexpensive and soon could be mass-produced.” he added.
1.Who can probably get help from the contact lens
A. Those who are blind. B. Those who have glaucoma.
C. Those who are older than 75. D. Those who are under heavy pressure.
2.Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “transcends” in paragraph 3
A. Exceeds. B. Maintains. C. Lowers. D. Balances.
3.How did the team create the device
A. By crossing the cornea of the eye and then sending a signal.
B. By enlarging the gap between the upper and lower lenses.
C. By using brimonidine to increase the pressure within the eye.
D By employing pressure sensor and wireless power transfer device.
4.What can we learn about the contact lenses
A. They are safe but too costly.
B. They have been tested on humans.
C. They will be put on the market soon.
D. They need to be used with battery power.

A walk in the park may be just what the doctor ordered. A new program launched last month in Canada gives some doctors the option of providing patients with a free annual pass to the country’s national parks as part of an effort to increase access to nature and the health benefits.
PaRx, a health initiative (倡议) launched by the BC Parks Foundation in 2019, partnered with Parks Canada to provide doctors across four provinces with an initial run of 100 passes that can be prescribed (开处方). The program allows doctors to write more general prescriptions for time spent out in nature; two hours a week, at least 20 minutes at a time, is what PaRx director Dr. Melissa Lem suggests.
“Given the growing body of evidence that indicates nature time can improve all kinds of different physical and mental health conditions, we’re hoping that our PaRx program not only improves patient health, but reduces costs to the health-care system, and helps to grow the number of people who are more engaged environmental advocates, said Prama Rahman, a coordinator for the BC Parks Foundation.
Doctors have been catching on, instructing their patients to turn to nature to improve their health and they're getting creative in how they do it. Dr. Robert Zarr, a doctor based in Washington, began prescribing accessible outdoor activities for his young patients and even created a searchable online database of local parks to make it easier.
But getting outside isn't always as easy as it might sound. Income can affect one's access to nature, an issue that PaRx is trying to address in Canada. Doctors utilizing the new national parks pass program are urged to prioritize patients who might not otherwise be able to afford these passes.
While only 100 adult passes, which give holders access to more than 80 national parks, historic sites and nature reserves, have initially been made available, organizers plan to routinely reassess this number as the program grows, the BC Parks Foundation told NPR.
5.What is PaRx intended to do
A. Qualify doctors to prescribe. B. Give patients free access to parks.
C. Promote free admission to parks. D. Advocate 20 minutes’ walk a day.
6.What does the underlined word “utilizing“ in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Financing. B. Setting up. C. Evaluating. D. Carrying out.
7.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The BC Parks Foundation is expanding rapidly.
B. The program has signed up 80 national parks.
C. More people will benefit from the program.
D. Those living Close to parks can gain priority.
8.Which is the best title of the text
A. PaRx, a Nature Prescription Program. B. BC Parks Foundation in Canada
C. Year-long Passes to National Parks D. A New Study on Benefits of Walk

If you look around your city, you might spot girls wearing hanfu in subways or people wearing, T-shirts with Chinese characters on the streets. A new trend is taking hold in China-guochao or "China-chic".
According to a recently published report, searches related to guochao on Dianping, a lifestyle information platform, have risen by 170 percent from the same period last year, and reviews have risen by nearly 40 percent. China-chic is happening, but what is it
The term characterizes the rise of China's native fashion trends. It has expanded the concept of "Made in China", which has been recognized as the representation of Chinese culture and aesthetics（审美）offered by homegrown Chinese brands, according to CGTN.
China-chic came into the spotlight in 2018.Before that, big-name foreign companies dominated the world market. To win market share, many Chinese brands followed in the footsteps of these Western brands. But that year, Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning changed things up. During the 2018 New York Fashion Week, Li-Ning introduced its Taoism-inspired Wu Dao collection. The collection not only had a trendy look, but also included elements of traditional Chinese culture. It immediately grabbed attention at home and abroad.
The trend to embrace domestic brands has since spread rapidly to various sectors and products, from food and drinks to clothing, mobile phones and electric vehicles. For example, White Rabbit, whose sweet candy brings back childhood memories for many, launched its perfume and lip balm. "We want White Rabbit to be a brand that young people want to share," Shen Qinfeng, the company's marketing manager, told People's Daily.
Now, the guochao trend is "moving to the next stage", where its success will rely, first and foremost on gaining cultural confidence rather than Western validation, according to Kerra Zhou, founder or brand strategy consultancy Kerrisma.
"No matter how the guochao trend evolves, there's one thing that won't change：Behind the craze is people's positive attitude toward the country's development and their recognition of and growing confidence in national culture," said Yao Linqing, a professor in the School of Economics and Management at Communication University of China.
9.What makes Li-Ning so fashionable
A.Its successful market strategy similar to Western brands.
B.Its trendy look similar to Western brands.
C.Its elements of traditional Chinese culture.
D.Chic and unique clothes styles.
10.Why did the author mention "White Rabbit" in paragraph 5
A.Because White Rabbit reminded the author of his or her childhood.
B.Because the author helped White Rabbit promote new products.
C.Because White Rabbit was a good example for showing the guochao trend.
D.Because this traditional brand was on the decline.
11.What does the secret to the success of the guochao
A.Increasing confidence in Chinese culture.
B.Excellent design skills.
C.Clothes of great quality.
D.Styles catering to people abroad.
12.What is the author’s attitude to the future of the guochao trend
A.Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Disapproving. D. Cautious.

Trees don’t look at the calendar to see when spring arrives, but they seem to know when spring is here better than we do. Recently a research takes a look at why trees in cities are turning green earlier than expected. The annual shift from winter to spring is a breathtaking event to watch as leaves become green and a lush (苍翠的) environment reveals itself.
While it may be winter, trees in cities are turning green earlier than expected and one of the reasons is artificial light. City lights brightening the night skies, billboard signs lit up on roadways, and car headlights all contribute to shifting the regular day to night cycle that plants and trees rely on.
In order to stay alive during cruel winters, trees hit the pause button on their growth. Since temperatures can vary dramatically throughout the winter the length of daylight is the signal trees look for to safely start growing again and turn green.
On average cities are typically 1.8° to 5.4℉ warmer than rural areas. This is known as the urban heat island effect. The changes in city environments may affect seasonal changes even more than climate warming and can affect the allergy (过敏) and mosquito season, water cycles, and also affect pollinators (授粉媒介).
Scientists use satellite imagery to see when plants turn green. By comparing spring green-ups in the 85 largest US cities scientists found that on average trees start to turn green nine days earlier in cities due to the combined effect of urban heat effect and artificial lights.
Despite the worries and concern, it isn’t all bad news.
“With a longer growing season, trees would be able to absorb more carbon dioxide,” A researcher said. “Hopefully they’d have a longer period to do the cooling effect that can help mitigate the urban heating effect in cities.”
13.Which might be a factor causing trees to turn green earlier according to the text
A. Timely rain. B. Devoted care. C. Street lamps. D. Noise pollution.
14.What can we say about the research findings
A. Cities are generally 5.4℉ colder than rural areas.
B. The length of daylight influences when trees start growing.
C. Changeable water cycles may cause urban heat island effect.
D. Urban heat causes trees to green up 9 days earlier on average.
15.What does the underlined word “mitigate” in the last paragraph mean
A. Relieve. B. Enhance. C. Establish. D. Release.
16.In which section of a website can the text be found
A. Business. B. Education. C. Life kit. D. Environment.

There are few places on Earth that humans haven't messed up. Now even Antarctica, the only continent with no permanent human inhabitants, is being changed by us. A study found that the increasing human presence in Antarctica is causing more snow melt-bad news, for a frozen world already battling the effects of human-Caused global warming.
Black carbon, the dark, dusty pollution that comes from burning fossil, fuels has settled in locations where tourists and researchers spend a lot of time, scientists found. Even the smallest amount of the dark pollutant. can have a significant impact on melting because of its very low reflectiveness: things that are light in color, like snow, reflect the sun's energy and stay cool; things that are dark, like black carbon, absorb the sun’s energy and warm up.
“The snow albedo （反射率）effect is one of the largest uncertainties in regional and global climate modeling right now,” Alia Khan, a snow and ice scientist at Western Washington University, told CNN. "That's one of the motivations for the study, to quantify the impact of black carbon on regional snowmelt, which is important for quantifying the role of black carbon in the global loss of snow and ice.”
“Antarctica is sitting there pretty much silently all year. But, if it weren't there, in the state that it is meant to be, the balance that we have in the climate system will no longer be J Marilyn Raphael, a geography professor said. "Antarctica's sea ice is also important to maintain a balance in atmospheric circulation, he added. As waters get warmer, some Antarctic creatures are finding their homes more and more unlivable.
“Everything we do has consequences, ” Raphael said. “We need to educate ourselves about those consequences, especially in systems that we know relatively little about. We have to be careful that we don’t upset the climate balance.”
17.Why can the smallest amount of black carbon have huge impact on melting
A. It is highly reflective. B. Its dark colour absorbs heat.
C. It produces vast energy. D. It causes much pollution.
18.According to Alia, which of the following is one reason for conducting the study
A. To measure the impact of black carbon on melting.
B. To quantify the cost of battling against climate change.
C. To remove the uncertainties of global warming effects.
D. To urge people to pay more attention to melting problem.
19.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A. The change caused by Antarctic melting.
B. The methods to stop Antarctic ice melting.
C. The significance of Antarctic being in its state.
D. The sufferings Antarctic creatures are experiencing.
20.. What does Raphael advise people to do
A. Reduce tourist numbers. B. Face the consequences.
C. Acquire professional education. D. Stop disturbing the climate.

The changes in city environments may affect seasonal changes even more than climate warming and can affect the allergy (过敏) and mosquito season, water cycles, and also affect pollinators (授粉媒介).
Scientists use satellite imagery to see when plants turn green. By comparing spring green-ups in the 85 largest US cities scientists found that on average trees start to turn green nine days earlier in cities due to the combined effect of urban heat effect and artificial lights.
Despite the worries and concern, it isn’t all bad news.
“With a longer growing season, trees would be able to absorb more carbon dioxide,” A researcher said. “Hopefully they’d have a longer period to do the cooling effect that can help mitigate the urban heating effect in cities.”
13.Which might be a factor causing trees to turn green earlier according to the text
A. Timely rain. B. Devoted care. C. Street lamps. D. Noise pollution.
14.What can we say about the research findings
A. Cities are generally 5.4℉ colder than rural areas.
B. The length of daylight influences when trees start growing.
C. Changeable water cycles may cause urban heat island effect.
D. Urban heat causes trees to green up 9 days earlier on average.
15.What does the underlined word “mitigate” in the last paragraph mean
A. Relieve. B. Enhance. C. Establish. D. Release.
16.In which section of a website can the text be found
A. Business. B. Education. C. Life kit. D. Environment.

There are few places on Earth that humans haven't messed up. Now even Antarctica, the only continent with no permanent human inhabitants, is being changed by us. A study found that the increasing human presence in Antarctica is causing more snow melt-bad news, for a frozen world already battling the effects of human-Caused global warming.
Black carbon, the dark, dusty pollution that comes from burning fossil, fuels has settled in locations where tourists and researchers spend a lot of time, scientists found. Even the smallest amount of the dark pollutant. can have a significant impact on melting because of its very low reflectiveness: things that are light in color, like snow, reflect the sun's energy and stay cool; things that are dark, like black carbon, absorb the sun’s energy and warm up.
“The snow albedo （反射率）effect is one of the largest uncertainties in regional and global climate modeling right now,” Alia Khan, a snow and ice scientist at Western Washington University, told CNN. "That's one of the motivations for the study, to quantify the impact of black carbon on regional snowmelt, which is important for quantifying the role of black carbon in the global loss of snow and ice.”
“Antarctica is sitting there pretty much silently all year. But, if it weren't there, in the state that it is meant to be, the balance that we have in the climate system will no longer be J Marilyn Raphael, a geography professor said. "Antarctica's sea ice is also important to maintain a balance in atmospheric circulation, he added. As waters get warmer, some Antarctic creatures are finding their homes more and more unlivable.
“Everything we do has consequences, ” Raphael said. “We need to educate ourselves about those consequences, especially in systems that we know relatively little about. We have to be careful that we don’t upset the climate balance.”
17.Why can the smallest amount of black carbon have huge impact on melting
A. It is highly reflective. B. Its dark colour absorbs heat.
C. It produces vast energy. D. It causes much pollution.
18.According to Alia, which of the following is one reason for conducting the study
A. To measure the impact of black carbon on melting.
B. To quantify the cost of battling against climate change.
C. To remove the uncertainties of global warming effects.
D. To urge people to pay more attention to melting problem.
19.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A. The change caused by Antarctic melting.
B. The methods to stop Antarctic ice melting.
C. The significance of Antarctic being in its state.
D. The sufferings Antarctic creatures are experiencing.
20.. What does Raphael advise people to do
A. Reduce tourist numbers. B. Face the consequences.
C. Acquire professional education. D. Stop disturbing the climate.
