After the celebration, he began another journey to Sanya, in South China
8、s Hainan Province, where he has worked most of his life. Cheng is a scientist in agriculture and spends most of his life studying and cultivating (栽培) corn. He visits Sanya in November every year and stays there for six months to cultivate corn.Once, when he was conducting a field survey, a female f
9、armer said to him in tears, “You graduated from college. Could you please find a way to increase the corn output here? If the yields (产量) are higher, our children will no longer suffer from hunger.” Since then, Cheng has made developing high-yield corn varieties his lifes mission.In 1964, he came to
10、 Hainan, where it was warmer, and started his work there. He greatly shortened the cultivation period and created hybrid corn varieties for the first time. With these new varieties, farmers in Xunxian County saw their average corn output was more than 3,750 kg per hectare per year.Despite the beauti
11、ful coastline, the environment where Cheng works used to be troubled by poverty and poor traffic. Locals once described the area as having a large number of rats, mosquitoes, and poisonous snakes. At that time, he did everything on his own. He lived in a local villagers house and he frequently went
12、to the mountains to chop firewood to cook. His hard work, however, has paid off. Now, authorities have approved 14 new, high-yield corn varieties Cheng helped develop.Cheng is dedicated to developing high-yield corn varieties with stronger resistance and they are easier to harvest with machines. He
13、still goes to the fields each day and observes and records the corn plants. “Cultivating seeds is like raising kids. Only by careful parenting can you become familiar with their strengths and weaknesses and help them to grow up healthily,” he says.4What can we infer about Cheng according to paragrap
14、h 1?AHe was born in Hainan Province.BHe works in Sanya for less than half a year.CHe rested for a long time after his birthday.DHe wants to develop higher-yield corn varieties.5In which paragraph can we know the cause of Chengs lifes mission?AParagraph 1.BParagraph 2.CParagraph 3.DParagraph 4.6What

16、DKind and generous.When a heavy storm hit, residents of the floating community of Schoonschip in Amsterdam had little doubt about whether they could ride it out. They tied up their bikes and outdoor benches, and checked in with neighbors to ensure everyone had enough food and water as their neighbor
17、hood slid up and down its steel foundational pillars (支柱), rising along with the water and going back to its original position after the rain stopped.“We feel safer in storm because we are floating,” says Siti Boelen, a Dutch television producer who moved into Schoonschip two years ago. As sea level
18、s rise and supercharged storms cause waters to rise, floating neighborhoods offer an experiment in flood defense that could allow coastal communities to better fight against climate change.A floating house can be constructed on any shoreline and is able to deal with rising seas by remaining on the t
19、op of the waters surface. Unlike houseboats, which can easily be moved and relocated, floating homes are fixed to the shore and are usually connected to the local sewer (污水管道) system and power grid. They are structurally similar to houses built on land, but instead of a basement, they have a concret
20、e hull (船体) that acts as a counterbalance, allowing them to remain stable in the water.Severe wind and rain, or even the passing of large cruise ships, can make the buildings rock. Siti Boelen, the Schoonschip resident, says that when she first moved in, stormy weather made her think twice. “You fee
21、l it in your stomach,” she says, adding that she has gotten used to the feeling. Floating homes also require extra infrastructure and work to connect to the electricity grid and sewer system.But the benefits may outweigh the costs. “If there are floods, its expected that many people will move to hig
22、her ground. But the alternative is to stay close to coastal cities and explore expansion onto the water,” says Rutger de Graaf. “If you consider that in the second half of the century, hundreds of millions of people will be displaced by sea level rise, we need to start now to increase the scale of f
23、loating developments.”8What did local residents think when a heavy storm hit?AThey could get through it.BThey could control the flood.CThey could get some bikes after it.DThey could gain enough food in it.9What can we know about Siti Boelen?AShe has a sense of security in a storm.BShe gets along wel

26、ehavior, a new study shows.The new devices rely on optogenetics(光遗传学), a technique in which researchers use bursts of light to stimulate or control the brain nerve cells, often using tailored viruses to genetically correct cells so they respond to light. Scientists have applied optogenetics to explo
27、re neural(神经的) circuits in mice and other lab animals to come to a conclusion on how they might work in humans. Optogenetic devices often feed light to neurons via fiber-optic cables, but such things can influence natural behaviors and social interactions. While scientists recently developed implant
28、able(可植入的) wireless optogenetic devices, these depend on relatively simple remote controls or limited sets of preprogrammed instructions.These new fully implantable optogenetic devices can enable more complex research. Specifically, the researchers can adjust each devices programming during the cour
29、se of experiment. “So you can target what an animal does in a much more complex way,” says Genia Kozorovitskiy, a researcher at Northwestern University.These devices are battery-free, wirelessly powered by the same high-frequency radio waves used to remotely control the intensity, duration and timin
30、g of the light pulses. The devices also allow scientists to control four different neural circuits in an animal simultaneously, thanks to LEDs that give out four colorsblue, green, yellow and redinstead of just one.The widely available wireless technology used in this work, the same now used in cont
31、actless payment with credit cards, could allow broad adoption across the neuroscience community “without extensive specialized hardware”, says Philipp Gutruf at the University of Arizona. “That means that we might see these devices in many labs in the near future, enabling new discoveries.”12Whats s
32、cientists purpose of using optogenetics?ATo control humans brain nerve cells.BTo account for humans social interactions.CTo figure out how neural circuits affect humans.DTo correct tailored viruses entering the human bodies.13What does the underlined word “simultaneously” in paragraph 4 mean?AOnce i
