2.True friend from a distant land International friends can come in many shapes and sizes.However they arrive on the scene,they are always appreciated,especially in times of turbulence.Michael Lindsay (1909-94)is a case in point.
After graduating from the University of Oxford in 1931,Lindsay arrived in China in 1937 on a ship from Canada intending merely to teach economics at Beiping Yenching University,the current Peking University.He traveled with Norman Bethune,the Canadian doctor who dedicated his life to medicine in China during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45).
Lindsay left Beijing at the end of 1941,and went to the Communist-led Jinchaji base(晉察冀邊區(qū))together with his wife Li Xiaoli,who was a Shanxi local and a former student of his.
"Lindsay was inspired by the hard work local Chinese people made in fighting against Japanese aggression.After learning that Chinese armies on the frontlines were suffering supply shortages,Lindsay was determined to lend a hand," says Yan Juhai,a retired official from Shanxi's Lyuliang city. "In the Jinchaji base,NieRongzhen(1899-1992),the base's top commander,appointed him to work as the communications expert,where he became a full-time radio technician contributing greatly in communication technology innovation and training," says Yan.
In 1944 Lindsay and his wife arrived in Yan'an in Shaanxi province and helped fix its telecommunication equipment.They stayed for 18 months in Yan'an,and after the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression,they decided to return to the United Kingdom to visit their parents.

3.For centuries ,tea has been used for far more than quenching thirst.Around the world people drink it to relax,reinvigorate and relieve,and it's something we need now more than ever.
Even in the United States,a long coffee-dominated country,tea drinking is growing in popularity,with the country consuming 0.4 kilograms(14 ounces)of tea leaves per person a year compared with 0.36 kilograms(12.7 ounces) in 2007 according to the United Nations,as people switch away from soda,milk and fruit drinks.
Scientists are beginning to look into just how tea might affect mood and cognition.Specifically,they're investigating whether its relaxing and refreshing effects are a direct biological outcome of the compounds in tea or whether they come from the context in which the drink is consumed—preparing your tea,choosing your favorite cup and sitting down for a brief break from the wjye.aild.Or both.
Drinking green tea has been found to improve brain function in healthy people,said Stefan Borgward,chair and director of the department of psychiatry and psychotherapy at the University of Lubeck,Germany.
In a 2014 study,he gave one or two cups of green tea to 12 healthy volunteers and imaged their brains to analyze changes in connectivity inside certain brain regions.
"We noticed an increased connectivity in regions of the brain associated with working memory," he said via email.
And a 2017 review of more than 100 studies he coauthored found that green tea can impact the brain in three ways:It can influence psychopathological state such as reducing anxiety;cognition by benefiting memory and attention;and brain function,specifically memory.
That review concluded that "it would be desirable" for more Westerners to consume at least 100 milliliters(3.3 fluid ounces) of green tea each day "to protect neurocognitive function."
However,Borgward,cautioned that the effects aren't large,and the evidence is mainly provided by small-scale studies.
(1)How does the author introduce the tendency of drinking in the U.S.?
A.By showing examples.
B.By explaining reasons.
C.By making a comparison.
D.By checking existing facts.
(2)What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.Scientists are looking into why tea makes people relaxed and refreshed.
B.The context in which the drink is consumed is very important.
C.People's relaxation is the direct biological outcome of the ingredients in tea.
D.Preparing tea,choosing a cup and sitting down for a brief rest is amazing.
(3)What can we conclude from Stefan's research?
A.Tea is a cure for a neurocognitive disease.
B.Green tea is particularly beneficial to our memory.
C.Drinking tea every day can prevent us from getting ill.
D.Westerners drink less than 100 milliliters of green tea.
(4)What is the researcher's attitude towards the finding?
A.Supportive.
B.Doubtful.
C.Unclear.
D.Objective.組卷:0引用:1難度:0.7 -
4.Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(麻省理工學(xué)院)have turned spider webs into music - creating an strange soundtrack that could help them better understand how the spiders output their complex creations and even how they communicate.
The MIT team worked with Berlin-based artist Tomas Saraceno to take 2 D(two-dimensional)laser(激光)scans of a spider web,which were linked together and made into a mathematical model that could recreate the web in 3 D in VR(virtual reality).They also worked with MIT's music department to create the virtual instrument.
"Even though the web looks really random(隨機),there actually are a lot of inside structures and you can visualize(可視化)them and you can look at them,but it's really hard to grasp for the human imagination or human brain to understand all these structural details," said MIT engineering professor Markus Buehler,who presented the work on Monday at a virtual meeting of the American Chemical Society.
Listening to the music while moving through the VR spider web lets you see and hear these structural changes and gives a better idea of how spiders see the world,he told CNN. "Spiders use vibrations(振動)as a way to locate themselves,to communicate with other spiders and so the idea of thinking really like a spider would experience the world was something that was very important to us as spider material scientists," Buehler said.
Spiders are able to build their webs without shelves or supports,so having a better idea of how they work could lead to the development of advanced new 3 D printing techniques. "The reason why I did that is I wanted to be able to get information really from the spider world,which is very weird and mysterious," Buehler explajye.aied.In addition to the scientific value,Buehler said the webs are musically interesting and that you can hear the sounds the spider creates during construction. "It's unusual and eerie and scary,but finally beautiful." he described.
(1)What have MIT scientists done according to the passage?
A.They have translated spider webs into sounds.
B.They have made a mathematical model to produce webs.
C.They have created a soundtrack to catch spiders.
D.They have known how spiders communicate.
(2)What can we know about spider webs from paragraph 3?
A.Their structures are beautiful and clear.
B.Professor Markus Buehler knows them well.
C.The American Chemical Society presents the result.
D.They are complex for people to figure it out.
(3)In which field will the study be helpful?
A.virtual reality
B.printing
C.painting
D.film-making
(4)What is the main idea of the passage?
A.It tells us that the music created by spiders is scary.
B.It shows how the researchers carry out the experiment.
C.It presents a new and creative way to study spiders.
D.It explains why scientists did the experiment.組卷:2引用:1難度:0.5
