10、. Here are two examples.Toucan Bills(巨嘴鸟的嘴) and Car SafetyToucan usually has enormous bills. Scientists have found that the toucans beak is designed to be both strong and light. The surface is made of keratin, the same material in human fingernails and hair. But the inside of the bill has a foam-lik

11、e structure and is made up of a network of light, thin pieces of bone. It contains a lot of air, and some areas are hollow, not solid. This design makes the bill hard but very light. The design of the toucan bill can be used to make cars and planes safer. Studies show that the beaks structure can ab

12、sorb high energy impacts very well. Car body panels that mimic toucan bills may offer better protection to motorists involved in crashes.Shark Scales and SwimsuitsShark skin may look smooth, but its actually rough. Sharks are covered in scales made from the same material as their teeth.Viewed up clo

13、se, the scales actually look like tiny teeth. These scales protect the shark and help to keep it clean. They are also flexible and can turn or bend in the water.

14、ary in size and flexibility over its body. For instance the scales on the sides of the body are tapered wide at one end and narrow at the other.

16、s of crashes.D. To make cars lighter and easier to control. 22. What product or technology is inspired by shark scales?A. Coating for ship bottoms to run faster. B.

18、m. The move was good for me professionally, but I worried about my husband and daughters. I also feared that I wouldnt be able to give my kids the childhood they deserved. Anne, our first daughter, came into the world when I was a junior majoring in biology in college. It was challenging to balance

19、classes, work schedules, and being a mom. But I got through it, finding moments of joy along the way. On the nights when I was home, Id read my class notes out loud with my daughter. Shed respond by asking questions, such as “Mom, what are bacteria?” It helped us both learn.After I graduated, I knew

20、 that I would need a Ph.D. to land the kind of job I wanted. I arrived in New York feeling more than the usual new-grad-student anxiety. I also suffered from a more personal fear that I was being selfishthat my decision to invigorate my career was going to have long-term negative impacts on my kids.

21、Over the past year, though, Ive started to let go of some of this worry. Ive realized that we have not only adapted to our new situation, but things are getting better. My husband landed a job that he is happy with. Anne dreams of becoming a marine biologist. Recently, while driving past the cancer

22、institute I work at, Anne said, “Thinking about people having cancer is so sad, but I feel better knowing that you are researching it to help.”Navigating academia as a young mother is hard, but its also rewarding.

26、ost any topic you can imagine. And at , you can access lectures by artists, scholars, designers, technicians and others.TED began in 1984 as a conference that brought together individuals from the fields of technology, entertainment and design. It was intended to be a one-time event focusing on tech

27、nology and design. The event ended up losing money, and it was six years before the founders tried it again. This time it worked, and since 1990, the TED conference has been an annual event. There are now two held every year, with topics as diverse as music, medicine, and money. Other specialized sp

28、in-off conferences address narrower issues.The TED website came from a desire to share the conferences with the world, to “offer free knowledge from the worlds most inspired thinkers,” as the website puts it.

Its been accused by a few people of censorship for not publishing their talks. One controversial (有争议的) speaker was upset

31、 about being criticized by the conferences host afterward.The complaints, however, seem to be relatively few for such a large, long-running organization.

37、, was working very hard. to try to save money to send back home,” Yinzhou recounts. “Why not learn how to cut my own hair and offer him a free haircut? It was a very small thing that I could do for him. That was how BAB started.” Till now, volunteers have styled more than 2,200 heads, picking up the

38、ir skills from professionals. “Our volunteers come from various kinds of background,” says Yinzhou. “The common heart is people who are willing to serve. With collective people working towards a common goal, we can change communities. Thats a great starting point.” Beyond the free haircuts, conversa

39、tions form the root of BABs mission. “We learn about the sacrifices migrant workers have made, the challenges they have at work. And some of them with issues, for example, injuries, or salary claim problems, we refer them to the relevant authorities for help. But the baseline is really making friend

40、s with them first,” Yinzhou said.

46、t kind of food.38 Rotten bread at the bottom of rivers and lakes allows bacteria to breed, spreading disease and attracting rats and other pests to our waterways, which can result in the presence of a mould (霉菌) called Aspergillus. It has the potential to kill waterfowl and other wildlife if it gets

47、 into their lungs.39 Definitely not. Wild Things Swan & Duck Food has launched the “Better than Bread” Campaign to highlight the risk of a calorific diet to water birds.

In summer, my brother Harry and I would run through a stand of oak trees to skip stones there. The pond wore a

61、collar of black mud. It was not a place for swimming.In late summer, the pond would be covered by a green and bubbly scum(起泡的浮渣). Sometimes a strong, unpleasant smell rose from it. We stayed away. When winter came, the pond was once again an inviting place. One day when ice covered it, Harry said to

62、 me, “Try walking across.”The ice looked solid. No water showed through it, but I hesitated. “Go ahead.” Harry urged. “Try it. Youre lighter than I am. If the ice holds, we can run and slide carefully on it. Itll be fun.” I wanted to please Harry, and I thought about the fun of a long slide on the i

63、ce. I began to slide across the pond.In the middle of the pond, the ice gave way with a sudden crack! I stretched out my arms. The next thing I knew I was hanging on to the edge of a hole in the ice by arms outstretched on the ice. From my shoulders down I hung in icy water. I thought of the bottom

64、of the pond. I knew it would be black and awful down there, full of mud and maybe rotting creatures. I tried to climb out of the hole, but when I got a knee on the ice, it broke like window glass. Again and again I tried to get out. Again and again the ice broke into pieces. The hole widened. I was

65、wearing a coat of heavy material. As it became completely wet, it dragged me down. I was tired of the struggle and rested with my arms stretched out on the ice.I looked at Harry on shore. He seemed rooted to the spot. “I cant get out!” I screamed when I caught some breath.Paragraph 1: Harry turned a

Staring at him out of sight, I wondered: “Is he running for help, or is he running away and leaving me alone?” Frightened and scared, I was anxious to climb out by

70、 myself, but failed again and again. After what seemed to be centuries, I feel despaired. Just at that moment, Harry dashed with a large branch. Crawling on his stomach, he pushed the branch toward me. The moment the branch was within reach, I grabbed it immediately and was eventually dragged out by

71、 Harry. Trembling, we headed home, with my clothes dripping water.Para. 2: I crashed through the kitchen door, sobbing, mum rushed over. Taking off my clothes, she gave me a quick bath and then wrapped a thick blanket over me; meanwhile she gave me a cup of milk to warm me up. Feeling comforted and relieved, we tearfully murmured an apology to mum, but the pond was still a temptation to young Harry and me, especially when winter came again.
