TEXT ONEMost cells are transparent—in other words, they are not very good at reflecting or absorbing light. To look at them under a microscope thus requires trickery. Many of these tricks kill the cells, and even those that keep them alive look only at slices through each cell, rather than seeing the whole thing in three dimensions.Michael Feld, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his colleagues, think they can change that. They have invented a way to look at cells that are still alive. Moreover, they can do so in three dimensions. Their method is called tomographic phase microscopy, and it is reported in this week's Nature Methods. Instead of relying on absorbed or reflected light, Dr Feld's technique celebrates transparency by looking at light that gets through unaltered. It does so by measuring a property called the refractive index.This index measures the speed of light in a material. (Light zips along at the actual “speed of light”, faster than which nothing can go, only when it is tra velling through a vacuum.) The different components of a cell, though transparent, have different refractive indices. Dr Feld and his team therefore set out to map what these differences are, with a view to using them to distinguish between cellular components.To measure the refractive indices of different parts of a cell they use a technique called interferometry, which involves splitting a beam of light in two. One half, known as the object beam, passes through the cell; the other is directed along a different path and acts as a reference. The length of the reference path is such that if no sample is present, the two daughter beams will be as perfectly in phase when they meet as they were when they were separated. The crests and the troughs of their waves will reinforce each other, and the result will be brightness. The more that the light passing through the sample is slowed down, however, the more the two beams will be out of phase. Crest will fall on trough, and the result will be darkness. It is this phase shift that gives Dr Feld's new form of microscopy its name.A single pair of beams does not, however, produce a useful image. To do that requires scanning the object beam through the target about a hundred different ways. From the refractive index of each path it is possible—with the application of some suitably crunchy computing power—to produce a three-dimensional image.To test his idea, Dr Feld looked at cervical-cancer cells. If you identify this cancer early, the patient will probably survive. Miss it, and she will die. Dr Feld wondered if the changes that occur during cancer would show up using his new method. They did, in a part of the cell called the nucleolus. This is the place where the components of protein factories are made. Since cancer cells grow rapidly, and thus have a high demand for proteins, it was a likely place to expect changes.Dr Feld also has plans to use beams of different colours, since each colour has a slightly different refractive index in a given material. That would provide extra data for the computer to chew on, and probably result in better pictures. With enough pictures, Dr Feld's technique may make biology as transparent as the cells it studies. 参考译文：大多数的细胞都是透明的，也就是说，他们没有很强的反射或吸收光的能力强。
Hello back there！ This is me， in the future. It's great here. We finally have robots that do things for us， although none of them are very attractive， at least not after the third or fourth date. Dogs and cats developed the power of speech several years ago， and turn out to have very little interesting to say beyond requests for food and， on the part of cats，expressions of condescension. One thing that has not changed in the 50 years since you guys were merging and purging all over the place is our reliance on media. Today we have 484，567，543 channels of great programming， which correspond exactly to the population of the U.S. It's really fabulous. Each of us has his or her own mix that completely serves our interests and virtual habits. I say virtual habits because none of us have any real habits to speak of， good or bad. They were outlawed in 2025，and most of us agree that we're happier without any. Our programming mixtures reach us through a variety of pipelines all owned by one of four Great Big Media Companies. These are all exactly alike in their collection of assets， each of them owning broadcast， narrowcast， die-cast， retrocast and cybercast， broadband， narrowband， audio， video， satellite and an upload-and-download phalanx of option-driven interfaces. Each of our Great Big Media Companies has thousands of brands that make us feel all warm and toasty and provide an emotional connection to a past that nobody can actually remember. We love our GBMCs and buy their stocks all the time. And they're getting bigger. Not long ago， the largest GBMC declared itself to be a nation， established a virtual army and invaded Nova Scotia. Right now， it's fighting the Canadians， who are holding out for preferred stock in the new entity before they capitulate. So things have changed a lot， except maybe for one thing. As I'm dictating this into the cyber-neural-net， I am sitting on a soft object with a rather high back， which is necessary as， like all other human beings now， I have no real bone structure. That's right， it's my beloved couch！ I sit on my couch all day long. I do business from my couch， since everything is now conducted online. I am served my meals on my couch. My family members catch up with one another's virtual day while sitting on our couch. The only time we leave our couch is when we are conveyed upstairs to bed， which is just another couch. So from our couch to yours， hello！ That's your future！ See you there！ 注（1）：本⽂选⾃Time；02/21/2000， p58； 注（2）：本⽂习题命题模仿对象2003年真题text 4； 1.What is implied in the first paragraph？ [A] The future life will be much greater than the present life.

考研英语阅读理解精读训练题目及答案解析UNIT18TEXT ONEPier 17 in downtown Manhattan is not the most likely destination for theatre-goers. But here on the East River, among the wailing seagulls, frying fish and tourists, is an enchanting offer of entertainment. Spiegelworld is back in town for its second summer, with two spicy cabaret shows of dance, music, acrobatics and burlesque. Called “Absinthe” and “La Vie”, the shows are staged in the anachronistic opulence of a spiegeltent (Flemish for “tent of mirrors”).Nobody seems to know how many of these European pavilions are left but most people agree that there are fewer than 20. Built by hand without nails, spiegeltents are beautiful assemblies of teak, velvet, stained glass and bevelled mirrors, created originally in Belgium in the early 20th century as mobile dance halls. Only two families in Belgium and the Netherlands still know how to make them, producing one every five or ten years or so, says Vallejo Gantner, one of the show's producers and a long-time spiegeltent aficionado. “But you know it when you walk into an old one. They have a special boutique quality.”This one, which dates from the 1920s and has a painted art-nouveau fa?ade, lends continental glamour to the pier. It holds about 350 people on wooden chairs and banquettes around a modest, circular stage. And it is this intimacy, this proximity to the performers, that gives these shows their special feel. Erotic contortionists, balletic hand-balancers and bawdy jugglers emanate a sweaty, tangible humanity. Many of them, Mr Gantner explains, have left larger circus troupes, such as Cirque du Soleil, in order to make eye-contact with their audience. The simplicity of the staging gives their performancesa gritty authenticity.Once in a while, a family on a children's outing is fooled by Spiegelworld's festive red-and-blue tent spires. Make no mistake: the shows are for adults. “La Vie”, created by Les 7 Doigts de la Main, a Montreal-based troupe, laces an array of artfully sexy circus acts with the premise that everyone is dead and in pur gatory, travelling on “a flight to hell that never quite gets there”. Wearing what looks like a straitjacket, a contortionist moves in a highly unsettling way to a recording of “Crazy”, crooned by Patsy Cline. The show closes with a steamy pas de deux between the devilish master of ceremonies and the evening's lip-curling seductress.“Absinthe” is a more explicit grab-bag of stripping, cross-dressing and intrigue, without a unifying theme. The show's strongest moments come from the acrobats, all of whom carry a powerful sexual charge. Two women sway with suggestive grace on the trapeze. An aerialist in black trousers, his sculpted chest glistening, pulls and twists himself up two hanging straps to the lusty music of “Jealous Guy”, sung by a transvestite diva.Sexy but not tawdry. Despite colourful language and a brief moment of unnecessary male nudity in “La Vie”, the setting is too elegant and the talent too astonishing for that. It's a bit of risqué fun that has been warmly received by New Yorkers, many of whom have grown tired of thewholesome, tourist-friendly fare of Broadway. Last summer “Absinthe” ran for two months to sell-out crowds; this year's two-show programme is for three months until the end of September. 1．According to the passage, Spiegelworld is probably _____[A] a series shows of dance, music, acrobatics and burlesque with boutique quality [B] a mobile dance hall of long history as well asexquisite decoration [C] a troupe performing certain programmes for the public.[D] a traditional form of entertainment derived from some ancient European countries.2．By mentioning that “Pier 17 in downtown Manhattan is not the most likely destination for theatre-goers”, the author wants to _____[A] imply that theatre-goers are paying much attention to the environment of performance. [B] show that Pier 17 is not a place for a formal performance of the theatre. [C] prove that the shows in Spiegeltent are very attractive[D] tell us the status of the place where the shows of “Absinthe” and “La Vie” are presented. 3．The performances staged in the spiegeltents are different from the other ones mainly in that _____[A] they are on show in the pier rather than in the theatre.[B] the seats are arranged around the stage so that the audience can watch the performers closely. [C] they are of a sweaty, tangible humanity and a like of enticing simplicity. [D] it is much easier for their performers to make eye-contact with their audience.4．In the fourth paragraph, the author gives a detailed description of “La Vie” in order to _____ [A] imply that Spiegelworld is characterized by suggestive sexy scenes and is mainly oriented to the adults.[B] showcase the fact that the performance is sexually attractive, but far from tawdry. [C] demonstrate the profound meaning conveyed by the surface of the performance.[D] give a general impression of the specific performance and illustrate that people should not be deluded by the representation.5．Which one of the following statements is TRUE of the performances staged in spiegeltents?[A] Only two families in Belgium and the Netherlands know howto give such performances.[B] The performances are characteristic of erotic shows. [C] The performances are always given with an explicit motif. [D] The performances are mainly given to the mass rather than the elite.篇章剖析：这篇文章主要讲述了一种传统演出团队的表演。
