The term became popular during the graffiti(涂鸦)art boom of the early 1980s. The average person on the street would associate street art with run-down urban centers and New Yor
21、ks graffiti explosion of the 1970s and 1980s. During that period, graffiti artists often painted subways, benches, and other urban surfaces. But artists who choose the streets as their gallery often do so because they prefer to communicate directly with the public at large and be free from the confi
22、nement of the formal art world. Therefore, most major cities now have what is called a “wall of fame“-a public space where street artists come to paint, compete, and connect with other artists Located near Dubai International Airport, Dubai Festival City, for example, was host to street art from 200
23、7 to 2011. At an event sponsored by Montana, a popular spray paint brand, a wall was designated as a canvas for international artists to work on. After the event, officials allowed the wall to remain, and creative art workers would get together there every weekend. Since then, Dubai has 第 - 6 - 页 共

It has a respected annual art fair called Art Dubai, which, having celebrated its thirteenth year in March 2019, is widely regarded as one of the highlights of the Middle Easts art calendar. The street art scene in Dubai operates with the approval
25、of the authorities. Planned works on buildings or murals painted on wood panels are beginning to pop up on blank walls and at art events all over the city, thanks largely to the support of art galleries and institutions.

Most people who contract West Nile do not experience any symptoms at all, but, if they do, symptoms typically develop between 3 to 14 days after a mosquito bite. About 1 in 5 persons suffers fever, headaches, and

Some-especially the elderly and those with weak immune systems-die. That is what made the major outbreaks of West Nile in the U.S. in the summer of 2012 s
32、o scary. The situation was particularly bad in Dallas, Texas, where the West Nile virus killed 10 people and sickened more than 200. The city declared a state of emergency and began aerial spraying of a pesticide to kill the mosquitoes, even though residents argued that the pesticide could be more d
33、angerous than the disease. Why was the summer of 2012 so hospitable to the West Nile virus and the mosquitoes that carry it? Blame the weather. An extremely mild winter allowed more mosquitoes than usual to survive, while the unusually high temperatures in that scorching summer further increased the
34、ir number by speeding up their life cycle. The economic crisis may have also played a role: Homeowners who were not able to pay their bank loans were forced to abandon their properties, sometimes leaving behind pools that made excellent mosquito breeding grounds. The severity of tropical diseases is
35、 also a matter of whether governments are capable-and willing-to defend their populations against infections. Dallas County was not doing some of the key things to slow the spread of West Nile, such as testing dead birds and setting mosquito traps to test for the presence of the disease. Tropical in
36、fections are thus as much related to government inaction as they are to climate. 28. What is this passage mainly about? A. West Nile and methods to fight it. B.

37、s rapidly in. 29. Which of the following statements is true about West Nile? A. Its symptoms usually appear within two weeks. B. It is spread through air and water in tropical areas. C. Over 20% of people who contract it will suffer severe symptoms. D. It comes from direct human contact with birds i

They drained the swimming pools in the county. C. They encouraged citizens to get vaccinations. D. They sprayed pesticide from the air. 31. Whi
39、ch of the following is a reason why Dallas was hit most seriously in the U.S. in 2012? A. The weather of the previous winter was not as cold as usual. B. The residents worried about the countys decision and action. C. The government did not issue a warning about the disease in time. D. The increasin
40、g population in Texas raised the risk of contracting the disease. D Fancy your own satellite? Arizona State University is working towards making this a reality with its SunCube FemtoSat project. Smaller than a standard CubeSat, the low-cast student-designed spacecraft is aimed at providing greater a
41、ccess to space for scientists and hobbyists alike. Assistant professor Jekan Thanga and a team of students have been developing the SunCube FemtoSat for the past two years. The small 333cm cube weighs in at just 35g and a longer (3 39cm, 100g) model has also been designed, which includes storage spa
42、ce. Each SunCube FemtoSat has its own communication, data collection and propulsion(推进) systems and is powered by solar panels. It is made of off-the-shelf parts that are available in shops, and the energy-efficient solar panels arc cut from scrap(碎片), which makes it save energy, sold at a discount
43、by manufacturers. “With a spacecraft of this size, any university can do it,“ says Thanga. “Thats part of our major goal-space discovery for everybody.“ The team says that while launching your own satellite would usually cost between US $60,000-70,000 per kilo, it would only cost$1,000 to send a Sun
44、Cube FemtoSat to the International Space Station, and S 3,000 to send it into low earth orbit. Leaving the earths gravity would cost an estimated $ 27,000. The FemtoSat would be packed with a “jack in the box“ style system that matches standard CubeSat sizes (around 10 cubic cm), simplifying the pro
45、cess of getting the tiny satellite into orbit. NASA has sent 30 CubeSats into space over the last years, with another 50 awaiting launch. Thanga and his staff view the FemtoSat as a starting point for scientists and students, and even 第 - 9 - 页 共 14 页 - 9 - hope the device could be bought on the web
46、site like Amazon one day. Thanga imagines developing four main applications for the device, including hands-on testing experiences for students, and artificial gravity experiments. In addition, groups of SunCube FemtoSats could eventually be able to do the job of larger spacecraft at a vastly discou
47、nted cost. 32. What is the major goal of the SunCube FemtoSat project? A. To assist average individuals to explore space. B. To provide easy access to spacecraft design. C. To help carry out a classroom experiment. D. To act on college teaching in outer space. 33. What is special about SunCube Femto
48、Sats? A. They are used to collect information. B. They are designed for lab use. C. They are of the same weight. D. They are energy-saving. 34. What does Thanga expect of SunCube FemtoSats? A. Theyll be available online. B. Theyll be provided for free. C. Theyll match the size of CubeSats. D. Theyll
