11、exas at Austin, has been awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry-jointly with M. Stanley Whittingham, a chemistry professor from the State University of New York and Japans Akira Yoshino, a professor of Meijo University-for the development of lithium-ion batteries(锂电池). According to the Nobel Comm
12、ittee, the three scientists “have created the right conditions for a wireless and fossil fuel-free society, and so brought the greatest benefit to humankind“. Goodenough, born in 1922, identified and developed the key materials that can power portable electronics, leading to the wireless revolution.
13、 Today, batteries containing Goodenoughs innovations are used worldwide for mobile phones, power tools, laptops, tablets and other wireless devices, as well as electric vehicles. Goodenough received a bachelors degree in mathematics from Yale University and a doctorate in physics from the university
14、 of Chicago. He beat the odds against him, first overcoming - 4 - dyslexia(阅读困难症)as a child, and then the claim of a teacher who told the doctoral student in his 20s that he had started too late to be successful in physics. He began his career in 1952 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technologys Li
15、ncoln Laboratory, where he laid the groundwork for the development of random-access memory (RAM) for the digital computer. After MIT, Goodenough became a professor and head of the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory at the University of Oxford where in 1979 he discovered it would be possible to store ene
16、rgy in rechargeable batteries through lithium cobalt oxide(锂钴氧化物).That discovery helped develop the lithium-ion battery. Goodenough joined the University of Texas at Austin in 1986, where his groundbreaking work continued. At 97 years old, he still continues to push the boundaries of materials scien
17、ce. Despite the lithium-ion battery being well developed and available as a commercial product, it has its limitations. It cant be charged too fast or overcharged.

19、en he studied for his doctorate in university, not all his teachers encouraged him to be successful. C. According to the Nobel Committee, Goodenough made the greatest contributions in the discovery. D. Because of his old age, Goodenough found it difficult to improve the limitations of the lithium-io

21、 for AIDS patients.

While it may not have cured the patient fully, it still represents a huge step for
22、ward in fighting the disease. The patient was a 27-year-old Chinese man who was diagnosed with both AIDS and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a type of blood cancer. Despite his bleak situation, doctors offered him a glimmer of hope: a bone marrow(骨髓)transplant to treat his cancer and an experimental t
23、reatment for his HIV. They edited the DNA in bone marrow stem cells from a donor before transplanting the cells into the patient. Specifically, the treatment involved using the gene-editing tool CRISPR-Cas9 to delete a gene known as CCRS, which encodes a protein that HIV uses to get inside human cel
24、ls. Without the gene, HIV is unable to enter cells. Talking about the gene, lead scientist Deng Hongkui told CNN, “After being edited, the cells-and the blood cells they produce-have the ability to resist HIV infection.“ Nineteen months after the treatment, the patients leukemia was in complete reli
25、ef and donor cells without CCR5 remained, according to the research paper. Though the transplant did not cure the mans HIV, it still showed the effectiveness of gene-editing technology, as there was no indication of any unintended genetic alterations(改变)-a major concern with past gene therapy experi

Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in the United States, who was not involved in the study, praised the treatment. “They did a very innovative experiment, it was safe,“ he told Live Science. “It should be viewed as a success.“ Deng believes gene-edi
27、ting technology could “bring a new dawn“ to blood-related diseases such as AIDS and sickle cell anemia.

34、ture for modern ventures. Ne Zha, the new film, also portrays traditional culture in a modern context. Earlier this month it became the biggest animated movie in China and was called “the glorious light of domestic anime“. The movie is loosely based on the well-known work of classical Chinese mythol
35、ogy The Investiture of the Gods.

Many young Chinese people can relate to Ne Zha, who encourages them to become dream-chasers
36、and fate-changers. As Global Times put it, today by revisiting and incorporating a modern context, “ancient mythology has the power to stir up contemporary imagination in young people“. After all, imagination is the beginning of creation. - 7 - 27. Why did Huawei name the new system “Hongmeng“ in Ch
