21、 Traditionally, robots have been hard, made of metal and other rigid material .But a team of scientists at Harvard University in the US has managed to build an entirely soft robot—one that draws inspiration from an octopus (章鱼).
Described in science journal Nature, the “Octobot” could pave the way for more effective autonomous robots that could be used in search, rescue and exploration. “The Octobot is minimal system which may serve as a foundation for a new generation of completely soft, autonomous robots”, the study’s authors wrote.
Robots built for precise, repetitive movements in a controlled environment don’t do so well on rough terrains (地形) or in unpredictable conditions. And they aren’t especially safe around humans, because they’re made out of hard and heavy parts that could be potentially dangerous to their users.
So researchers have been working on building soft robots for decades. They’ve taken inspiration from nature, looking to animals from jellyfish to cockroaches, which are often made up of more flexible matter.
But creating a completely soft robot remains a challenge. Even if engineers build a silicone (硅酮) body, it’s still a grand challenge to construct flexible versions of essential parts, such as a source of power.
“Although soft robotics is still in its early stage, it holds great promise for several applications, such as search-rescue operations and exploration,” Barbara Mazzolai and Virgilio Mattoli of the Italian Institute of Technology Center for Micro-BioRobotics, wrote in a comment. “Soft robots might also open up new approaches to improving wellness and quality of life.”
【1】What’s the special feature of “Octobot”?
A.It’s very small. B.It’s made of metal.
C.It’s soft. D.It looks like an octopus.
【2】What’s the shortcoming of traditional robots?
A.They’re hard to control. B.They can’t behave well all the time.
C.They can’t predict conditions. D.They’re too heavy to move.
【3】Which of the following is wrong?
A.The original robots can work on rough land well.
B.The original robots may hurt people.
C.It’s tough to invent an absolutely soft robot.
D.The soft robots might improve the quality of human life.
【4】One of the biggest challenges is to build Octobot’s ________.
A.silicone body B.complex structure
C.precise movements D.flexible power source
【5】What’s the possible application of “Octobot”?
A.Medical research. B.Life rescue.
C.Machine operation. D.House cleaning.

23、For as long as we’ve known about it, humans have searched for a cure for cancer. Across the world, countless amounts of time and money have been spent on researching a way to stop this terrible disease. But now, it seems like the answer could have been inside our own bodies the whole time.
Recently, the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) in the US, a government agency that’s responsible for healthcare, approved a new form of gene therapy(疗法) that could mean the end of a certain type of cancer.
The therapy allows scientists to “train” the immune(有免疫力的) cells of sick patients to fight leukemia(白血病) — a form of blood cancer that mostly affects young people.
The exciting new treatment works by removing healthy immune cells from the patient, known as T-cells, which are then changed to be able to “hunt down” cancer cells.
The cells are then put back into the patient before they begin to get rid of the patient’s leukemia over time, similar to how the body fights off other illnesses.
“This is truly an exciting new day for cancer patients,” Louis J. DeGennaro, president of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, said in a news release.
Up until now, a long and painful marrow transplant(骨髓移植) was the only option for many leukemia patients.
In this procedure, healthy blood cells are taken from a donator and placed into the sick patient, who also has to go through chemotherapy (化疗) to allow their body to adjust to the new cells.
But with a recovery rate of around 83% — according to a news release published by the FDA — it’s hoped that the days of painful trips to the hospital, or even death, are over for leukemia sufferers.
“We’re entering a new frontier in medical innovation(创新) with the ability to reprogram a patient’s own cells to attack a deadly cancer,” FDA representative Scott Gottlieb said in the release. “New technologies such as gene and cell therapies hold the potential to transform medicine and our ability to treat and even cure many incurable illnesses.”
【1】What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?
A.To compare different ways of curing leukemia.
B.To report on a breakthrough in cancer treatment.
C.To explore the potential of gene and cell therapies.
D.To show scientists’ efforts in search of a cure for cancer.
【2】How does the new treatment to fight leukemia work?
A.By using changed T-cells to destroy cancer cells.
B.By replacing sick blood cells with healthy ones.
C.By removing sick blood cells during marrow transplant.
D.By using chemotherapy to improve the patient’s immune system.
【3】What can be inferred about the new therapy for leukemia sufferers?
A.It can save them many more trips to the hospital.
B.It can improve their ability to fight off all kinds of cancer.
C.It can give them a better chance of survival and recovery.
D.It can reduce their pain in the process of marrow transplant.
【4】What is Scott Gottlieb’s attitude toward gene and cell therapies?
A.Doubtful.
B.Optimistic.
C.Worried.
D.Casual.
24、Everyone has heard the phrase, “giving up is not an option”. Many do not believe in it. But this small yet effective phrase gives a strong message. There will always be a challenge in the journey to achieve the dreams. But that should not drive one away from the path that they are on. Fitting the context perfectly is the story of Ian William.
Popularly known as the “Social Golfer”, Ian William is a lecturer, author, and a former golf player. He dreamed of playing golf at childhood. He would often watch players playing from a distance. He worked hard and changed his financial(财政的) difficulties. Then he began practicing various golf matches. Due to his devotion and love for the sport, he picked up the techniques quickly and soon began playing as a professional. He also dreamed of participating in the Senior Golf Tour in the coming year.
However, in 1996, Ian was diagnosed(诊断) with a tumor(肿瘤) in the left part of his brain, which affected his hearing from the right side and damaged his balance nerve. He experienced two surgeries(手术) in 1997 with a smile and a hope to be cured. Although the surgeries were successful, Ian caught meningitis(脑膜炎) while recovering from it. Apart from being hopeful and optimistic, there was no other way Ian could cope with the situation.
Just as things had begun to normalize, in 2006, Ian’s body was affected by a major stroke. This stroke numbed(使麻木) the left side of his body. His life-long dream of participating a golf tournament could not be realized anymore.
Ian took his time to recover and came back even stronger. He wanted to encourage millions with his journey and decided to share his experiences through a book. Ian has now published his 3rd book Still Crazy After All These Years, in 2020.
