The Chinese master carpenter, Wang Dewen, known as “Grandpa Amu” on YouTube, has been praised as “the modern arch bridge, went viral on the platform, attracting more than 42 million viewers. In the video, using traditional techniques, he creates woodwork without glue, screws or nails.
Wang was born in Liaocheng, Shangdong Province. His father died in an accident when Wang was 9, and soon afterwards, the boy took on the responsibility of helping his family scrape by. When farming couldn’t provide enough income, he started working as an apprentice（学徒）carpenter for one of his relatives to support his family.
“If you do something, you have to love it, and you have to be interested in it; however, being interested doesn’t mean there’s only happiness and no pain.” Grandpa Amu shared when talking about his excellent carpentry skills.
One of his followers on the Internet said, “Outstanding craftsmanship without nails! What he can do with a couple of pieces of wood and an old saw is amazing.” And another follower said, “This is so beautiful to watch, but with modern tools and technologies, these traditional crafts may become abandoned. Please keep passing it on.” Grandpa Amu has so far attracted over 1.18 million subscribers on YouTube. However, he insists that he is not an Internet celebrity but just an ordinary farmer. “I’m just an old farmer, and my carpentry skills can’t match those of my ancestors,” Wang said, “I just want people to enjoy my videos as I show them some very interesting and complicated things.”

Rogue waves, or killer waves, are large and unpredictable surface waves that can be extremely dangerous to ships and structures such as lighthouses. They are uncertain and often come unexpectedly from directions other than common winds and waves. They are distinct from tsunamis, which are long wavelength waves, often almost unnoticeable in deep waters and are always caused by earthquakes.
For centuries, rogue waves have been part of marine folk legends, but they are now proven to exist and are known to be a natural ocean phenomenon. Most reports of extreme storm waves say they look like “walls of water.” They are often steep-sided with unusually deep troughs（波谷）.
Since these extreme storm waves are uncommon, measurements and analysis of this phenomenon are extremely rare. Exactly how and when rogue waves form is still under investigation, but there are several known causes:
Constructive interference. Extreme waves often form because swells（浪涌）, while traveling across the ocean, do as at different speeds and directions. As these swells pass through one another, their tops, troughs, and lengths sometimes fall together and strengthen each other. This process can form unusually large, towering waves that quickly disappear. If the swells are traveling in the same direction, these mountainous waves may last for several minutes before dying down.
Focusing of wave energy. When waves formed by a storm develop in a water current against the normal wave direction, an interaction can take place, which results in a shortening of the wave frequency. This can cause the waves to dynamically join together, forming very big rogue waves. The currents where these are sometimes seen are the Gulf Stream and Agulhas current. Extreme waves developed in this fashion tend to be longer lived.
“Rogue waves are caused by a combination of many factors that, until now, have not been combined into a shingle risk assessment,” said Professor Dion Hafner.
( )28.What can we learn about rogue waves from the text
A.They’re unnoticeable and rare. B.They’re huge and dangerous.
C.They’re sudden and preventable. D.They’re predictable and usual.
( )29.What does paragraph 4 mainly explain
Definition of rogue waves. B.Legends about rogue waves.
Dangers of extreme waves. D.Formation of extreme waves.
( )30.Which statement does professor Dion Hafner agree with
Many causes jointly contribute to rogue waves.
Rogue waves will be effectively predicted soon.
Scientists have known rogue waves much better.
Risks of rogue waves are being assessed at present.
( )31.In which section of a web page my this text appear
A.News. B.Tourism. C.Nature. D.Society.

Skin has traditionally been reserved for humans and animals until now. For the first time, scientists learned to grow human-like skin on a robotic finger using cells, a new study revealed.
“Unlike artificial skin that is commonly used when building robots, this skin is alive,” said Shoji Takeuchi, project professor at the Institute of Industrial Science at the University of Tokyo. “Living skin is the ultimate solution to give robots the look and touch of living creatures.” Takeuchi said.
The human-like skin is made using the same building blocks as human skin. The robotic finger was first put in a liquid of collagen, which is a fibrous(纤维的)protein, and human dermal fibroblasts, the two major components that make up human skin. After the liquid conformed(紧贴)around the finger, human epidermal keratinocytes, a main type of cells that make up the outermost layer of skin, were applied to the outside. In the trials, the flexible human skin moved freely while the finger made different movements. Takeuchi’s team put a collagen bandage on a part of the wounded finger to mend it, and the robot was able to move freely after the protein repaired the skin. Collagen is a major part of human skin and has healing properties. The skin could also repel(抵御)water, which expanded what tasks the robot could perform.
“The discovery is an important one,” Takeuchi said, “but development of the human-like skin still has a long way to go.” Skin is a living organism, so it needs to sustain itself by being constantly nourished while removing waste. Unfortunately, the current skin that was grown does not have that ability, so it cannot sustain itself. Takeuchi is interested in adding a vascular(血管的)system, the way blood is circulated throughout our body, to help transport nutrients to and from the cells and keep the skin alive. He also wishes to develop additional details for the skin such as hair follicles, nails and sweat glands.
( )32. What can we learn about the human-like skin from the first two paragraphs
It is a major scientific breakthrough.
It gives robots the look and feel of animals.
It’s an artificial skin used in building robots.
It has traditionally been reserved for humans.
( )33.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
The types of building blocks.
The elements of the human-like skin.
The process of creating the human-like skin.
The application of human epidermal keratinocytes.
( )34.What is Takeuchi’s attitude to the development of the human-like skin for robots
Objective. B.Unconcerned C.Disappointing D.Doubtful.
( )35.Why does Takeuchi want to add a vascular system to the human-like skin
A.To remove waste. B.To repair the skin.
C.To develop more details . D.To sustain the skin.
