During this time, she was enrolled in school for education and was currently uninsured due to the expense. She planned to save money so she could get on her husband's insurance and then seek medical treatment for the cancer.Her friends and family didn't want her to postpone her treatment due to the expense. They took matters into their own hands and started a GoFundMe campaign.

There's a link between cold air and the night lights. “Part of the reason is that it tends to be drier in the winter，” said Diane Turnshek, an astronomer at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Even though it's invisible, moisture (水分) can change the way light moves through the air. And in the summer, moisture can make stars appear more dull Air temperature is also what puts the twinkle in the little stars. “Even on very clear nights, some of the atmosphere is cooler, and some of the atmosphere is warmer，” said Turnshek, who also works with the Allegheny Observatory. And when the light from a star passes through those bubbles of varying temperatures, they bend and shift the light, so that we are seeing stars appear to dance or twinkle, she said. For star lovers in the United States, there's another factor that comes into play for bright winter stars, although this is a matter of coincidence. During Earth's journey around the sun，“there are just simply more bright stars visible from the Northern Hemisphere in the winter sky，” Turnshek said. If you really want to see a shiny star, just try to find a burning ball of gas called Sirius near the horizon. At 8.6 light years away, Sirius is relatively close to Earth and the brightest star visible in the night sky. It is also large nearly twice as big as our sun and 20 times as bright as it. So this winter, when the world turns cold and it seems like we should be spending more time indoors, consider asking an adult to go exploring outside. With a warm coat and a clear sky, any night can be turned into a treasure hunt. All you have to do is look up.8What does the underlined word “dull” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?Anot shiny Bnot excitingCnot severe Dnot smart9How does air temperature influence the brightness of stars?ABy changing the bubbles around them.BBy putting the twinkle in them.CBy varying the direction of the light from them.DBy making the stars dance and twinkle in the sky.10What do we know about Sirius?AIt can be found at any night.BIt is 20 times as bright as the sun.CIt is a burning and dull ball.DIt is closer to Earth than other stars.11What is the author's purpose in writing the text?ATo advocate stargazing in winter.BTo call on people to focus on stars.CTo present new research results about stars.DTo explain why stars are more visible in winter.D2021·南昌市第三次模拟The team, led by Michael TTolley, a professor of mechanical engineering at the Jacobs School of Engineering at UC San Diego, details its findings in the Feb. 17, 2021 issue of the journal Science Robotics.“This work represents a fundamental yet significant step towards fullyautonomous, electronicsfree walking robots，” said Dylan Drotman, a PhD student in Tolley's research group and the paper's first author.Applications include lowcost robots for entertainment, such as toys, and robots that can operate in environments where electronics cannot function, such as MRI machines. Soft robots are of particular interest because they easily adapt to their environment and operate safely near humans.Most soft robots are powered by air and are controlled by electronic circuits. But this approach requires complex components like circuit boards, valves (阀门) and pumps often outside the robot's body. These components, which make up the robot's brain and nervous system, are typically large and expensive. By contrast, the UC San Diego robot is controlled by a lightweight, lowcost system of airpowered circuits, made up of tubes and soft valves, on board the robot itself. The robot can walk on command or in response to signals it senses from the environment.“With our approach, you could make a very complex robotic brain，” said Tolley, the study's senior author. “Our focus here was to make the simplest airpowered nervous system needed to control walking.”In the future, researchers want to improve the robot's ways to walk so it can walk on natural fields and uneven surfaces. This would allow the robot to navigate over a variety of obstacles (障碍). This would require a more complicated network of sensors and as a result a more complex airpowered system. The team will also look at how the technology could be used to create robots, which are in part controlled by airpowered circuits for some functions, such as walking.12What is the achievement of the team's study?ATheir robots can walk a huge step.BTheir robots work following commands.CTheir study gets their electronics for free.DThey find a new technique in walking robots.13What can the team's robots be applied to from the passage?AToy companies' products.BEnvironmental protection.CHuman safety.DFactories without workers.14What will the researchers probably do?AChange the way of power. BHelp robots walk as humans.CImprove robots to avoid obstacles.DBuild a network to control robots.15What is the passage mainly talking about?AThe introduction to electronicsfree walking robots.BThe functions of newlydeveloped robots.CThe applications of soft walking robots.DThe ways to improve traditional robots.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。2021·大连市高三双基测试卷Lacking chances to practise English?
