Here are some islands for visitors to enjoy their charms in the National Park System.Isle Royale National Park, MichiganAs the largest island in Lake Superior, Isle Royale provides commercial accommodation, developed campgrounds, and undamaged wilderness. Travelers can hike through forest, boat along rocky shores, or camp beside beautiful lakes. Various boat services and ranger-guided trips give travelers the chance to explore the park.Channel Islands National Park, CaliforniaThose people who do make the boat trip can explore five major island groups that are home to globally significant biodiversity. From rare birds to blue whales, the world’s largest animal, Channel Islands is a wildlife film. Even a brief visit will bring sightings of seals, sea lions, sea otters, whales, and the largest colonies of seabirds in southern California.Acadia National Park, MaineIsle au Haut is a small island in Acadia National Park. The island can be reached by a mailboat from the little town of Stonington, a circumstance that limits the number of visitors. Much of the island can be seen on a day trip, exploring paths that wind through woodlands and the grass and along rocky shores. Sleeping on Isle au Haut makes it possible to enjoy sunrises and sunsets on the island.Biscayne National Park, FloridaTravelers can take a commercial tour boat to see Elliott Key, a park site with camping, swimming, and a hiking trail (路线).

In many regions of the country, it can take hours to get to the nearest hospital. Boateng said many people lost their lives due to preventable or treatable diseases. His grandmother and aunt were among them.Feeling an urgent ca ll to help, Boateng decided he would make it his life’s mission to bring health care to remote communities in Ghana where education and preventative health care were lacking.Boateng wanted to find a way to remove these barriers to health care access and education. He started his nonprofit organization, OKB Hope Foundation. In 2021, he converted (转变) a van (面包车) into a mobile doctor’s office and started bringing health care directly to those in need. A few times a week, the mobile clinic and medical team travel long distances to remote communities and provide free routine medical care.On each trip, Boateng’s team consists of a nurse, a physician assistant, a doctor, and an operation assistant. In the van, they can run basic labs like bloodwork and urinalysis (尿液分析) as well as provide medicine. “It’s like a one-stop shop for people, ” said Boateng, adding that most of the people they see have one health issue or another. Since its launch, the Hope Health Van has served more than 4,000 Ghanaians across more than 45 rural communities who otherwise don’t have easily accessible medical care, according to Boateng.Boateng has gone all in on his OKB Hope Foundation, recently quitting his job to dedicate his time to bringing health care to his home country. But for him, the sacrifices (牺牲) are well worth. “Words cannot describe the feeling that you provide care for someone who otherwise wouldn’t be alive if your mobile health van wasn’t there.” He has big plans for the future. He hopes to expand them to provide more consistent and high-quality medical care not only to those living in remote areas of Ghana but those in other countries.4．What is the purpose of mentioning the example in paragraph 1?A.

It serves the whole Ghana.D. It produces some good medicine.7．Which of the following best describe Boateng?A. Reliable and creative.B. Caring and ambitious.C. Considerate and humorous.D. Determined and demanding.Landscape architect Kotchakorn V oraakhom has designed a new green roof on the Rangsit Campus of Thammasat University, about 25 miles north of central Bangkok, Thailand. Her imaginative work challenges the common thinking that urbanization has a negative impact on the planet, whether flooding, excess (过度的) energy use, disrupted (扰乱) biodiversity or the heat island effect.The 236, 806-square-foot structure, which opened in December 2019, includes a flood water management system and Asia’s largest rooftop organic farm. It combines modern landscape architecture with traditional agricultural knowledge, creating a green and friendly environment.The green roof, containing an H-shaped landscape, looks like a futuristic hill with a brick building beneath it. The hill features a complex pattern of zigzagging terraces (之字形梯田) of planted beds, leading all the way down to the bottom. When rainwater hits the roof, it flows down the zigzags while being absorbed by the soil in the beds, The excess water is directed into four storage ponds — with a capacity of up to 3 million gallons. The process slows down the flow speed of rainwater runoff compared to a normal concrete rooftop. This keeps the area from flooding during heavy rains.The roof’s terraces are filled with organically grown crops, including a drought tolerant variety of rice, many local vegetables and herbs. The farm can supply the canteens on campus with a large amount of rice, herbs and vegetables a year. The food waste is composted (把……制成堆肥) to fertilize the farm, and water from the storage ponds is used to water plants, creating an entirely localized and circular system.The farm serves as an outdoor classroom and a source of local jobs, too. Farmers offer workshops on sustainable agriculture and nutrition as part of the university’s sustainability curriculum. “Students and community members are invited to participate in se asonal seeding, harvesting, and so on,” says V oraakhom. “The urban farm is training a new generation of organic farmers with real-world skills. It also promotes a sense of community.”8．What can we say about V oraakhom’s work?A. It’s short-lived.B. It’s c reative.C. It’s demanding.D. It’s time-consuming.9．Why is the rooftop designed to be zigzag?A. To store more water.B. To plant diverse vegetables.C. To slow the speed of water flow.D. To make it look more attractive than other buildings.10．What can be inferred about the farm from paragraph 4?A. It uses food as fertilizer.B. It benefits the environment.C. It improves students’ lifestyle.D. It produces vegetables and fruits.11．What does the author want to show by mentioning the outdoor classroom?A. Students can learn hands-on knowledge on the farm.B. Farmers working on the farm can become professors.C. The farm prevents government from offering people jobs.D. The farm harms the relationship between university and community.Plastic is everywhere in our modern world. Its toughness makes it an extremely useful material from household items to vehicle parts, but that same toughness makes it hard to break down for recycling or disposal (处理). However, Japanese scientists at the University of Tokyo have developed a new plastic material that can be broken down more easily and can self-heal and remember past shapes.Based on a kind of plastic called an epoxy resin vitrimer, which is brittle (脆性的), the new plastic boasts a huge range of advantages. Once scratched with a knife, it can completely patch itself up after being heated to 150 ℃ for just 60 seconds. When shaped into the shape of a crane, then flattened, it can fold itself back into the crane shape by being heated up. It does all of this much faster than others of its type.The new plastic can also break down easier. Even if it’s discarded (丢弃) into the environment, it still poses less of a, problem than other kinds of plastic, which the teamdemonstrated by placing it in seawater for 30 days. It biodegraded by 25% and released molecules (分子) that are essential food for marine life.The new plastic is more resistant to breaking. It can also repair itself, and can recover its original memorized shape. It even biodegrades safely in a marine environment, according to Shota Ando, a researcher of the study.The material can be used in a variety of applications, “Infrastructure materials for roads and bridges are often composed of epoxy resins mixed with compounds such as concrete and carbon,” said Ando. “By using the new plastic, these would be easier to maintain as they would be stronger and healable using heat. Unlike conventional epoxy resins, this new material is hard but stretchable, so it could also be expected to strongly bond materials of different hardness and stretch.”12．What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 1?A. To introduce the topic of the text.B. To show the disadvantages of plastic.C. To highlight the importance of plastic.D. To indicate his views on previous plastic.13．What do the underlined words “patch itself up” mean in paragraph 2?A. Change itself.B. Shape itself.C. Repair itself.D. Burn itself.14．What do we know about the new plastic?A. It is safe for animals in the ocean.B. It can provide nutrition for animals.C. It can change its shape when frozen.D. It is more brittle than previous plastic.15．What can be the best title for the text?A. Research Of New MoleculesB. An Interesting Scientific StudyC. The Widespread Application Of PlasticD. A New Environmentally Friendly Plastic二、七选五16．Reading books is one of the best ways to broaden your horizons, develop your new interests, and grow your minds.

These are some of the best popular science books for children, which should keep the young minds full of ideas long into the future.Amazing JellyfishThis book includes plenty of impressive facts. The first-person style of the author helps to keep the attention of young readers, by including personal stories and avoiding all pages of words. Each part is divided into detailed drawings and valuable information. The book has fun jokes about jellyfish, a maze (迷宫) with sea trash, and more.A Brief History of StuffDK has chosen a mix of many different things for this unique book. From baby bottles to pens, there isn’t much of a logical (合乎逻辑的) path or timeline, making it a great book for kids of all ages.

This book has all the information you need about their beginnings and impact on society.A Kid’s Guide to the Night SkyThe night sky is filled with countless astronomical objects to explore and this book does its best to introduce a wide variety of them to children. The life cycle of stars and light pollution are just a few of the topics that the book introduces to its audience.

By connecting the story of the Bell family’s near-death experience at sea with the story of radar’s discovery, the author has produced an interesting and informative storyline.1．What is a main feature of Amazing Jellyfish?A．Using a strictly scientific style.B．Presenting a clear timeline of events.C．Focusing on fun games about sea life.D．Matching the text and the picture well. 2．How do readers probably perceive A Brief History of Steff?A．A collection of famous speeches.B．An introduction to historical heroes.C．A guide to exploring common objects.D．A handbook on starting interest clubs. 3．Which book best suits young enthusiasts for astronomy?A．Amazing Jellyfish.B．Radar and the Raft.C．A Brief History of Stuff.D．A Kid’s Guide to the Night Sky.How would you feel if your child were being tutored by a robot? It’s believed that social robots could become as common as paper and whiteboards in schools. Those robots have been used to read stories to preschool students in Singapore, help 12-year-olds in Iran learn English and improve handwriting among young children in Switzerland.As a professor of education, I study the different ways that teachers worldwide do their jobs. To understand how social robots could affect teaching, I introduced a robot called “Pepper” into a public elementary and middle school in the U. S. and found many problems with the current generation of social robots.To get the robot to perform, our students had to master the directions that came with the robot. Some students quickly figured out that the robot could respond only to certain basic routines. They kept trying to interact with the robot as if it were a person but got very frustrated with its nonhuman responses. When a robot failed to answer a question, or responded in the wrong way, students realized the robot wasn’t really understanding them and that the robot’s dialogue was preprogrammed.Also, I have found that these are not limited to school settings. Service robots in some health care facilities have been programmed to deliver medicine, but this requires special sensors and programming. Stores and restaurants are experimenting with delivery and cleaning robots. But when a grocery store in Scotland tried to use “Pepper” for customer interactions, the robot was fired after a week.While the social robots currently used in schools are limited in functions, they can still provide useful learning experiences. Students can use them to learn more about robotics and artificial intelligence. Struggling with a robot’s limitations gives students real insights into thecomplicated nature of human social interaction. The opportunity to do hands-on work with a social robot shows students how difficult it is to program robots to copy human behavior. As AI becomes a bigger part of our work and lives, we need to teach students to think critically about what it means to live and work with social machines.4．What phenomenon is described at the beginning of the text?A．The global differences in educational approachesB．The transformative impact of robots on education.C．The adoption of social robots in classrooms worldwide.D．The innovative achievements in science and technology.5．How do students find their interaction with social robots?A．Amusing and engagıng.B．Challenging but beneficial.C．Ineffective and disappointing.D．Satisfying but time-consuming.6．What does the author want to show by mentioning the examples in paragraph 4?A．Robotics still has room for improvement.B．Technology has changed the way we workC．Many fields are open to experimenting with robots.D．Robots might pose a threat to people’s employment.7．What can students learn by interacting with limited-function social robots in schools?A．To master communication skills.B．To get some hands-on experience.C．To strengthen the sense of mission.D．To improve critical thinking ability.For many of us, online shopping has made the process of purchasing goods a far simpler and more convenient process. No longer do we have to head to shops to browse through various objects, wandering round endless shelves, before finally setting for the first thing we saw. These days, we find the item we want or need online, click on it, and check out its description and, most importantly, its user reviews. If it fits the bill, we send it to our basket and pay.There seems to be a wealth of options at our fingertips. But how do we know the options that pop up in front of us really are the best deals, and how might algorithms (算法) help or hold us back?Algorithms, simply put, are mathematical instructions which tell a computer how to solveproblems. When shopping is involved, what is the problem they solve? Well, they instruct a computer which advertisements to show and which products a user is most likely to buy. By analyzing the things we bought or looked at previously algorithms can predict what goods we’re most likely to be attracted by.For some people, the idea of something guessing your preferences could sound a bit worrying. But first, let’s look at the positives. By telling a computer to show us what we are interested in, it can not only save us a lot of time, but also help us find the best deals. However, there are some people who have concerns about the impact of algorithms on our shopping experience. It is possible that algorithms may only select options from a limited number of brands, or may favour products from certain companies. There are also concerns that we aren’t always shown the cheapest or best deal, even though that’s what we’re searching for.So, the takeaway from this is that algorithms are here to stay, and it’s wise to know they exist. Whenever you are shopping, be it online or off, make sure you shop around for the best deals.

Called Verto, the device filters 600,000 cubic meters of air a day in New Delhi’s Sunder Nursery.Filtration towers were designed by architecture firm Studio Symbiosis. The firm’sco-founders, Amit Gupta and Britta Knobel Gupta, say their fan-powered devices can clean the air within a radius (半径) of 200 to 500 meters in some spaces, depending on wind speed and how open the surroundings are. “I think the towers can also be installed in public parks and squares, where people spend quality outdoor time,” Britta said, adding that installing (安装) the towers in spots where homeless people sleep might also be very beneficial.In 2019 alone, air pollution is thought to have caused nearly 1.6 million deaths in India, according to a study in medical journal The Lancet. New Delhi is regularly covered with smog, with vehicle emissions, crop-burning, and coal-fired power plants all contributing to the city’s bad air quality.In addition to the direct impact of pollution, the resulting climate change has caused heat waves that have killed more than 24,000 people in the country since 1992, according to a study published by the University of Cambridge.Amit estimated that maybe 100 of the towers would be required to filter the air across central New Delhi, though further research and a “full-scale model” would be required to calculate more figures. The devices are also designed to be easily transported, with the hope that they can be adopted on a larger scale.The filters, which need to be changed every three to nine months, are partly recyclable. Noise generated by the towers is, at a maximum of 75 decibels, similar to that of a standard kitchen exhaust fan (排风扇). To reduce Verto’s environmental impact, Studio Symbıosis installed energy-efficient smart fans that vary according to local conditions, slowing down when pollution is low, or when strong winds provide natural air flow.12．Which factor can improve the work efficiency of filtration tower?A．The height of tower.B．The surrounding people.C．The design of fans.D．The strength of wind.13．What is mainly discussed in Paragraphs 3 and 4?A．The death number in India since 1992.B．The consequence of climate change.C．The cause and effect of air pollution.D．The process of heat wave generation. 14．What is the striking feature of Verto?A．Cost-effective.B．Uniquely-designed.C．Eco-friendly.D．Completely-recycled15．What is the best title for the text?A．The air cleaning tower in India B．The bad air quality in New DelhiC．The filtration tower’s global trend D．Smart fans’ environmental purposeAppreciating art can be a rewarding experience. But it can also be confusing if you’re not sure where to start. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your art appreciation journey.One of the most important things to remember when looking at art is to approach it with an open mind. 16 Instead, allow yourself to experience the art work on its own terms and see what emotions or thoughts it awakens in you.When you first encounter a piece of art, take a few moments to look at it. Notice the colors, lines, shapes, and materials. 17 If you’re looking at a painting, try to identify the brushwork and how it contributes to the artistic effect of the piece.18 Thinking about the situation in which a piece was created can help you better understand and appreciate the work. For example, if you’re looking at a piece of art from the 19th century, it can be helpful to learn about the artistic movements and social issues that were common at the time.The medium in which a piece of art is created can have a significant impact on the final product. 19 Understanding the properties and limitations of different mediums can help you appreciate the technical skills and choices of the artist.If you’re looking at art in a museum or gallery, there may be a staff member available to answer your questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for more information. If you’re looking at art online or in a book, try to find out more about the work through research. 20A．Many works of art convey a deeper meaning.B．You can also turn to a professional about the subject.C．Try not to assume what the artist was trying to express.D．The key to appreciating art is to approach it with curiosity.E．Observe how the various elements of the artwork are arranged.F．Art is often created within a specific historical, or cultural context.G．A sculpture made of metal has a different feel from an oil painting.二、完形填空The town of North Rustico is a homey sort of place. Neighbors there are always sure to 21 one another as they go about their day. And that 22 of friendliness is apparently infectious.One day, local resident Lisa Sandoval was walking near the waterfront when she realized somebody was 23 to her. “I heard ‘Hello! Hello!’” Sandoval said. “I turned around and there wasn’t even a 24 . Then I heard the 25 again. I got a little 26 , and thought I must be hearing things.”It was then that Sandoval noticed only a crow (乌鸦) nearby. “I stopped and said, ‘Hello?’”27 , he answered me back, “Hello!”Sandoval later came to learn that she wasn’t the only one in town to have 28 the talking crow. The story goes that years earlier the bird had been found injured as a baby and 29 by an elderly man living nearby, who often spoke to him during his 30 . “That bird had learned to say hello and had been let go free after regaining his health,” Sandoval said. A few months after their 31 meeting, Sandoval ran into the talking crow again.Crows, much like parrots, are indeed 32 of learning to mimic human language. So, if the story of his 33 is true, his vocalizations (说出的话) may very well 34 the voice of the elderly man who’d saved him. “He passed away years ago,” Sandoval said, but his legacy (遗产) 35 in the friendly, feathered bird. 21．A．understand B．greet C．attract D．remember 22．A．chance B．principle C．sense D．demand 23．A．pointing B．speaking C．responding D．appealing 24．A．soul B．signal C．choice D．change 25．A．answer B．rhythm C．warning D．voice 26．A．confused B．bored C．messy D．guilty 27．A．Gradually B．Carelessly C．Incredibly D．Accidentally 28．A．attended B．adopted C．encountered D．expected 29．A．introduced B．nursed C．grabbed D．accepted30．A．residence B．flight C．absence D．recovery 31．A．initial B．regular C．casual D．private 32．A．aware B．proud C．capable D．ignorant 33．A．origin B．talent C．injury D．departure 34．A．raise B．reflect C．protect D．replace 35．A．sets off B．gives up C．backs down D．lives on三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

"The fight against cyberbullying is like a war, and in this war I am a fearless fighter," Sadat Rahman said during a ceremony on November 13 in The Hague, the Netherlands. He added, "If everybody keeps supporting me, then together we will win this battle against cyberbullying."Rahman developed a mobile phone application that provides education about online bullying and a way to report cases of it.

"I will not stop until we receive no more cases through the app," Rahman said at the ceremony.The award comes with a fund of over $118,000, which is invested by the Kids Rights Foundation. The group chooses projects to support causes that are closely linked to the winner's work.Past well-known winners of the prize include Pakistani human rights activist Malala Yousafzai and Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg.

The Red Delicious apple is likely to lose its title as the most popular apple this year, which it held for more than half a century. The U.S. Apple Association is projecting, that the Gala apple will usurp（夺取）the Red Delicious for the top spot.The group, which advocates on behalf of 7,500 apple growers and 400 companies in the apple business, predicted that the U. S. would grow 52.4 million Gala apples in 2018, up 5.9 percent from a year earlier. Red Delicious apple production is expected to fall 10.7 percent to 51.7 million.Consumers apparently like the Gala's "taste, texture（口感）and sweetness," the U.S. Apple Association said in a statement. "The rise in production of newer varieties of apples aimed at the fresh consumption domestic market has caused demand for the Red Delicious to decline." said Mark Seetin, the association's director of regulatory and industry affairs.The Granny Smith, Fuji and Honeycrisp apples are expected to rank third, fourth and fifth. The association predicted that within a year or two the Honeycrisp may pass the Granny Smith and Fuji, jumping into third place. The production of the apple rose 21.8 percent to 23.5 million this year. That puts it ahead of the Golden Delicious apple for the first time. The Honeycrisp was created by the University of Minnesota's apple breeding（培育）program only 21 years ago. It typically costs more than its competitors.Until the 1970s, Americans had only a few choices of apples. While the Golden Delicious offered a color contrast and the Granny Smith brought tartness（酸味）to the table, the Red Delicious was the star, heavily promoted by Washington state growers. Then wholesalers began looking for tastier varieties, finding them overseas in Japan, home to the Fuji, and New Zealand, which had the Braeburn and Gala.（1）How does the author prove Americans' preference for the Gala?A.By using statistics.B.By listing examples.C.By explaining causes.D.By presenting research findings.（2）What do we know about the Honeycrisp?A.It is sour in flavor.B.It is light in color.C.It is gaining popularity.D.It is losing its price advantage.（3）Which of the following comes from New Zealand?A.The Fuji.B.The Honeycrisp.C.The Braeburn.D.The Granny Smith.（4）What does the text mainly tell us?A.Why Americans eat apples from different countries.B.How different apples are becoming popular in America.C.How American farmers choose their apple growing types.D.Why the Red Delicious was Americans' favorite for 50 years.causal inferences rather than simply finding patterns. "At some point—you know, if you're intelligent—you realize maybe there's something else out there," he says.【长难句分析】1.

It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lay’s, and other favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they sanitize the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use padding and liners from old coats to line the insides.It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether they’ re sin gle-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and easy to carry around,” Oleita told the Detroit News.Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and, as of last December, created 110 sleeping bags.Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita-whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life-and he r fellow volunteers. “We are dedicated to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says.4. What does the underlined word “sanitize” mean?A．Clean. B．Burn. C．Color. D．Dry.5. What do we know about the Chip Bag Project?A．It helps to shake off poverty.B．It has gathered over 900,000 bags.C．It was put forward by chip lovers.D．It helps the poor and environment.6. Why do chip eaters leave empty bags at given locations?A．Because they are forbidden to litter them.B．Because they happen to print things there.C．Because they want to help Eradajere Oleita.D．Because they can use them to trade clothes.7. Which is the best title for the passage?A．Chipping Away at Poverty B．Chip Eaters Do a Big FavorC．A Story about Eradajere Oleita D．Good Ways to Save EnvironmentIn spite of the title, How to Grow Old, this article will really be on how not to grow old, which, at my time of life, is a much more important subject. My first advice would be to choose your ancestors carefully. Although both my parents died young, I have done well in this respect as regards my other ancestors. My maternal (母亲方面的) grandfather, it is true, died in the flower of his youth at the age of sixty-seven, but my other three grandparents all lived to be over eighty. Of remote ancestors I can only discover one who did not live to a great age, and he died of a disease which is now rare, namely, having his head cut off.My maternal grandmother, after having nine children who survived, as soon as she became a widow, devoted herself to women’s higher education. She was the co-founders of Girton College. She used to relate how she met in Italy an elderly gentleman who was looking very sad. She inquired the cause of his sorrow and he said that he had just parted fro m his two grandchildren. “Good gracious,” she exclaimed, “I have seventy-two grandchildren, and if I were sad each time I parted from one of them, I should have a miserable existence!” “Madre snaturale (奇怪的母亲),” he replied.But as one of the seventy-two, I prefer her recipe. After the age of eighty she found she had some difficulty in getting to sleep, so she habitually spent the hours from midnight to 3 a.m. in reading popular science. I do not believe that she ever had time to notice that she was growing old. This, I think, is the proper recipe for remaining young. If you have wide and keen interests and activities in which you can still be effective, you will have no reason to think about the merely statistical (统计学的) fact of the number of years you have already lived, still less of the probable shortness of your future.8. What do we know about author’s maternal grandmother?A．She was a strange and cruel mother.B．She set up Girton College with others.C．Her husband died when he was young.D．She had 72 children and grandchildren.9. Why did the grandmother asked the gentleman?A．Because she wanted to teach him a lesson.B．Because she preferred cooking and talking.C．Because she wanted show off her freedom.D．Because she wondered why he was so sad.10. What is the proper way to remain young according to the author?A．To maintain wide interests and active participation.B．To remember how many years you have lived so far.C．To stay up reading from midnight to 3 a. m. every day.D．To raise as many children as you can and cherish them.11. What is the writing style of the passage?A．Romantic. B．Imaginative. C．Humorous. D．Ironic.A rare genetic skin condition has been corrected for the first time using a gene therapy that is applied to the skin.About 1 in 800,000 children in the US are born with a severe condition called recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (不良性大疱性表皮松解症 RDEB) that makes their skin extremely weak and likely to be torn and blister (长水疱).“It is very painful,” says Vincenzo Masc oli, 22, who travelled from Italy to the US to have the gene therapy. He had open wounds all over his body, including one covering his entire back that had been there since he was 2 years old. “Sometimes I also get blisters in my eyes and have to keep my e yes closed, and sometimes I get blisters in my throat that make it difficult to eat,” he says. Mascoli and other people with the condition have weak skin because they have an improper version of a collagen (胶原) gene called COL7A1. That means their skin can’t produce the collagen proteins needed to give it structure and strength.Peter Marinkovich at Stanford University in California and his colleagues developed a way to insert normal COL7A1 genes into the skin of such individuals so they can start producing collagen properly. “All it does is go into the cell and deliver the gene,” says Marinkovich.The gene therapy was then incorporated into a gel (凝胶) so it could be applied to the skin. It was tested in a late-stage clinical experiment in the US involving 31 children and adults with RDEB, including Mascoli.The treatment was repeated weekly until the wounds closed. After three months, 71% of the wounds treated with the gene therapy had completely healed, compared with 20% of those who had the ineffective gel applied, and there were no serious side effects.A US company called Krystal Biotech has partnered with Marinkovich and his colleagues to develop the gene therapy and will apply in the next few months for approval to make it available to more patients in the US.12. What do we know about RDEB?A．It is a serious skin disease on children.B．It brings unbearable pain to the patients.C．It makes patients’ skin weak but seldom blister.D．About 800,000 children in the US suffer from it.13. Why do the patients with RDEB have weak skin?A．They don’t have the gene called COL7A1.B．They don’t deal with the wounds properly.C．Genes on them fail to provide right proteins.D．They have serious side effects after treatments.14. What do we know about the new therapy?A．It was developed by Krystal Biotech.B．It has proved highly effective on all patients.C．It will be applied to patients in a larger scale.D．It has positive effects on patients immediately.15. What is this text probably taken from?A．A biography. B．A course plan.C．A mathematics paper. D．A science magazine.How to Stay Safe on a Field TripMany parents are relaxed and even want their children to go on field trips. 16 Here are some tips to help students stay secure during their field trip adventures.Stay physically safeIt’s crucial to ensure that students memorize their parents’ phone numbers and keep them handy in case of an emergency. When crossing roads, they must practice road safety by looking both ways and walking with caution. 17 In this way, they stay within the designated areas and with the group.Keep hygiene (卫生) while dining outStudents should be mindful of their food choices and avoid having too much unhealthy food, especially when away from home.
