24、s from streaming down my face. My cells were dead. After being accepted into the competitive Stanford Institutes of Medicine Summer Research Program (SIMR), and spending approximately 170 hours of the past month studying human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) (人胚胎干细胞), I was back to square on with only
25、one month of my internship(实习) left . How in the world was I going to make up for lost time?As I asked myself the question, I thought back to exactly how I had spent those 170 hours working to develop the stem cells. I started my internship a little overwhelmed by the complex equipment in the lab. A
26、fter I familiarized myself with the equipment, I began to find the function of PRDMI a gene thought to control replication (复制) in hESCs. First, though, I needed to make a growth medium (培养基) for the hESCs. I painstakingly measured to the ten millionth of a liter, testing the accuracy of each measur
27、ement multiple times before finally putting it into the medium solution. After I plated the hESCs on my new medium, I waited with bated breath for the results.To my joy, two days later, my cells were growing very well and even outgrowing their new home. I successfully created hundreds of stable hESC
28、s. Everything seemed to be going so well. But now.“Nancy, I know taking the news the first time can be hard, but keep in mind, you probably didnt do anything wrong. You know how sensitive they are. This sort of thing is common when working with stem cells,” the program director said gently.“I know,”
29、 I said. “Im ready to try again.”Thomas Edison said. “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.41What do we know about the author from Paragraph 1?AShe was seriously ill because of a cell disease.BHer internship was shortened for so

33、 polluting industries, but also one with the most potential to turn things around.After Solar Impulse 2 completed the worlds first flight by a solar-powered aircraft in 2016, airlines and aircraft producers looked to become the first to provide a commercial plane. Bertrand Piccard, one of the pilots
34、 responsible for Solar Impulse 2s journey said, “Al1 the clean technologies weve already had can be used everywhere. We have to use them, not only for the environment, but also because they are profitable and able to create jobs.”The following year saw many projects in the aviation (航空) field as the
35、 airline industry acknowledged the future of low- carbon transportation methods. In 2017, Zunum Aero, a small aviation company which focused on delivering a range of hybrid-electric (混合电动的) planes received financial aid from JetBlue and Boeing, whilst EasyJet teamed up with Wright Electric to develo
36、p battery-powered aircraft and NASA also announced its plans to develop its own electric aircraft.Orkney Islands, lying about 20 miles north of the Scottish mainland, are rich in renewable resources, especially the wind energy. Loganair, a Scottish airline, is cooperating with aviation companies to
37、make Orkney the worlds first fully electric airline routes. However, this is never easy. Due to the limited size and weight of a battery that an airplane can carry, airplane producers are faced with a bottleneckthe continued power supply for electric airplanes. They believe the abundant wind energy
38、in Orkney could be the key to solving it.The benefits of electric air travel transcend its low-carbon emissions. Aviation experts believe these aircrafts power source will also mean they will be less noisy, smaller, require less maintenance costs, and need a shorter runway to take off and landthis c
39、ould lead to more airports in small cities and more rural areas being connected to the world at large.46What did Bertrand want to convey in his words?AThe future of aircraft pilots.BThe success of Solar Impulse 2.CThe convenience of commercial planes.DThe significance of using renewable energy.47How
40、 did EasyJet carry out the low-carbon transportation methods?ABy asking for financial support from banks.BBy working together with another company.CBy purchasing patents from other countries.DBy improving the technology on its own.48What will airplane producers probably do to make Orkneys electric a
41、irline routes a reality?AUse natural resources to charge airplanes.BBuild more coal-fired power stations.CDevelop shorter airline routes.DIncrease the size of battery.49What does the underlined word “transcend” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?AGo beyond.BRely on.CDiffer from.DRefer to.50Whats the benef
42、it of electric planes besides its green footprint?AMaking plane tickets cheaper.BMaking the flying time shorter.CMaking the world more connected.DMaking the plane maintenance easier.Industry and educators all agree that the world needs creativity. There is interest in the field, lots of urging but v
43、ery little action. Everyone is a bit scared of what to do next. On the question of creativity and imagination, they are mostly uncreative and unimaginative.Educators seek artificial ways to change imaginative activity into problem-solving models that end up compromising the very creativity they cele
44、brate. Creativity is often reduced to problem-solving. To be exact, you need imagination to solve many problems and creativity is part of what it takes. But problem-solving is far from the whole of creativity; and if you only focus creative thinking on problems and solutions, you will fall into a tr
45、ap.For teaching purposes, problems are an anxious place to cultivate creativity. If you think of anyone coming up with an idea a new song, a dance step or a joke, it isnt necessarily about a problem but rather an opportunity for the mind to exercise its independence. This is the purpose behind the t
46、heory of scholars now called “Big C Creativity”, which is the breakthrough Lind of thinking or science, such as Mozarts Alla Turca and Einsteins theory of relativity. But the same is true of everyday “Small C Creativity” that isnt specifically problem-based.Enjoying the independence of the mind is the basis for naturally imaginative activity, like humor or amusing answers.Our contemporary education systematically damages creativity and
