The difficulty Messi met when playing football.In a high-tech lab on John's Hopkins University's Homewood campus in Maryland, engineers have been building a robot that may be able to stitch （缝针）back together the broken tissues in your stomach and even your brain, no doctor needed.The robot has a high-tech camera on one arm and a high-tech sewing machine on a second arm. The goal is to develop, in the next several years, a robot that makes the delicate work more consistent.The robot, known as Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot, or STAR, which is run by a highly advanced computer program, will advance technology currently in wide use in operating rooms. The robot completes about a stitch a minute, slightly slower than a human surgeon. But the tests so far have shown more consistency than what the humans can achieve.Long hours of traditional surgery can cause human hands to get tired and tremble, which may cause accidents during an operation. Robert Langer, an engineer, said the robotic arm could change the way surgeries are done. He has helped found dozens of biotech companies including Galen Robotics. The robotic arm being developed by Hopkins engineers is this company's product.Galen CEO Bruce Lichorowic compared the robotic arm to future for surgeons, saying it increases their stability, reduces tiredness and prevents cramps (抽搐)during long surgeries, all of which lead to safer surgeries.Galen Robotics has its roots in research from Johns Hopkins University, but the company had been based in Silicon Valley until 2019. "The company currently employs about 40 people, about half of whom have advanced degrees from Johns Hopkins J said Lichorowic, adding that the company plans to grow to 60 positions by the end of the year.Galen's robotic arm is not fbr sale yet, but Lichorowic said the company expects to submit an application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) later this year. 8. What can STAR do?A. Shorten operation time.B. Replace human surgeons.C. Make operations smooth.D. Advance medical studies.9. What does Lichorowic think of STAR?A. Flexible.B. High-cost.C. Promising.

Its robot arm will be released later this year. D. It is scheduled to expand within this year. 11. In which column is this text most likely to appear?A. Mind & Brain. B. Health & Technology.C. Business &Investment.D. Physics & Medicine.For almost all of human history, the Earth's population has tended to be younger. But since the last World Population Day on July 11, a major shift occurred: There are now more people aged 65 and older than there are under age five.World Population Day was established by the United Nations Development Program in 1989 to bring attention to population issues. Having more people on the planet is not the only concern, though, since a population's age structure matters too.Increased lifetime is a remarkable human success story, but having more elderly people also creates a number of socioeconomic concerns. The global population will continue to age as these two groups grow in opposite directions. By 2100, the percentage of the population aged 65 and older will rise to nearly 25 percent - about five times that of children under five.“Most developed countries have been aging fbr a century, giving them time to prepare fbr the changes. But developing countries will become old before they become rich J says researcher Toshiko Kaneda. Many countries in Latin America and Asia are aging much faster and have less time and resources to prepare health-care systems.What are the consequences of an older global population? Supporting elderly people is more expensive than caring for young ones. Pressing issues arise like how to provide long-term care, and maintain a labor force. In developed regions like Europe, where 10 percent of the population over age 50 is childless, elderly care is a major worry.“Not a single country has been able to change declining trends in fertility （生育）despite government requests fbr people to reproduce as has been done across Europe and in Japan J Kaneda says. "The aging trend is continuous.But declining fertility rates can have positive effects too, says Kaneda. When fertility rates decline but the population hasn't aged yet, governments can spend more on secondary and higher education, and benefit the economy. Both Thailand and South Korea have seized the opportunity during this ideal period.12. What do we know about the global population?A. It tended to be younger until now.B. People are living longer and having fewer kids.C. Age structure matters more than population size.D. Developed countries are facing tougher challenges.13. Which chart shows the global trend in the percentage of children under five?25 percent195021001950210014. What's Kaneda's attitude towards the global population issue?A. Critical.B. Objective.C. Optimistic. D. Doubtful.15. . What is the text mainly about?A. The declining trend in the fertility rates.B. The consequences of the aging population.C. The establishment of World Population Day.D. The present situation of the global population.二、七选五In every level of education, students experience more or less stress and pressure.
