Looking at the image, one can almost feel the volcano's heat, hear its roar, and sense Kraff's heart pounding as the volcanologist does what she loves most: bearing witness to our planet's strong anger.Katia Krafft was a fearless pioneer in volcanology, studying the explosive peaks at a time when there were few women in the field. She was born in the Rhine valley of northeast France in 1942. The chaotic human world drove both Katia and her husband, Maurice Krafft, also a volcanologist to seek comfort in nature The moment a volcano exploded, they dropped everything to analyze and capture the beauty and mystery of each event.The Kraffts used their videos of explosive eruptions to explain the complex risks and uncertainties of these disasters. It changed the ability to communicate volcano science. Their videos are credited as one of the primary reasons that officials in the Philippines took the warning signs of Mount Pinatubo's eruption in 1991 seriously. Yet the Kraffs didn't live to see that eruption. The couple died less than two weeks earlier in Japan during a monstrous eruption, which claimed 41 other lives.Katia's impact on volcanology has reached far beyond her death and has encouraged many young women to study our restless planet "Katia Krafft is definitely the reason why I'm doing this job," says Carla Tiraboschi, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Minster, Germany. Tiraboschi first saw Katia in a documentary when she was just six or seven years old and has been crazy about volcanoes ever since. She now studies the processes at work deep below the volcanic peaks.24. What does the author want to tell us in paragraph 1?A. Katia Krafft's passion for her work.B. The damage of a volcanic eruption.C. The difficulty of filming volcanoes.D. The importance of volcanology.25. What can we know about the videos of explosive eruptions?A. They prevented a natural disaster.C. They covered Mount Pinatubo's eruption.26. How did Katia influence Carla Tiraboschi? A Katia's deeds inspired her carer choice.8. They served as a warning in Japan.D. They helped spread volcano science.B. Katia helped her with her research.C Katia's death made her restlessD. Katia taught her to make a documentary.27. Which of the following best describes Katia Krafft?A. Creative and honest,B. Determined and generous.C. Ambitious and outgoingD. Brave and enthusiastic.CEvery woman dreams of receiving a huge sparkling and priceless diamond. Now. scientists have discovered the largest diamond in the universe,But it's well beyond the reach of the most lovestruck men- 50 light years to be precise. Space scientists revealed that they had diseovered a ten billion trillion trillion carat gem. Measuring 2,500 miles across and weighing five million trillion trillion pounds, the rock was found on Valentine's Day buried in the core of a white dwarf star（白矮星）in the constellation Centaurus（人马座）”It's the mother of all diamonds/' said Travis Metcalfe, who led the team of researchers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics in America!"You would need a jewelry's loupe，卜型放大镜）the size of the Sun to grade this diamond." Named Lucy, after the Beatles' song Lucy in the sky with Diamonds, the rock has sent a ripple of excitement through the scientific world.The largest diamond found on earth was the 3106-carat（克拉）Cullinan. It was cut into nine major stones, including the 530-carat Star of Africa now a part of the Crown Jewels. Diamonds were first discovered in India more than 2800 years ago. The Ancient Romans believed that the stones were thin and sharp pieces of stars that had fallen downward to earth.In Ancient Egypt diamonds were symbols of eternity （承恒）and were used in funeral ceremonies.In the Middle Ages men wore them to symbolize their courage, strength and energy. The tradition of giving them as love tokens dates from 1477, when Archduke Maximilian of Austria gave a diamond ring lo Mary of Burgundy.28.

Diamond- -the dream of womenDA joint research team recently have developed a new electronic skin that is similar to human skin in strength durability （耐久性）and sensitivity. The skin or e-skin may play an important role in next-generation personalized medicine, so代 robotics and artificial intelligence."The ideal e-skin will mimic （模仿）the many natural functions of human skim such as sensing temperature and touch, accurately and in real time' 'says leading researcher Yichen Cai However,making suitably flexible electronics that can perform such delicate tasks while also used repeatedly is challenging, and each material involved must be carefully engineered.Most e-skins are made by putting an active sensor on the surface that attaches to human skin.However, the connection between them is often too weak, which reduces the durability and sensitivity of the material; otherwise, if it is too strong, it won't be flexible enough, making it more likely to break the circuit."The landscape of skin electronics keeps shifting at a remarkable pace," says Cai. "The discovery of 2D sensors has accelerated efforts to turn these quite thin but strong materials into functional durable artificial skins."The new man-made skin built by the researchers could sense objects from 20 centimeters away. It could further make a quick response when touched in less than one tenth of a second “It is a striking achievement for an e-skin to maintain toughness after repeated use," said Shen, u which mimics the softness and rapid recovery of human skin."This type of e-skin could monitor a range of biological information such as changes in blood pressure, which can be detected from movements of arms and legs. This data can then be shared and stored on the cloud via WiFi."One remaining problem to the widespread use of c-skins lies in mass production of high-resolution （分辨率）sensors/' adds group leader Vincent Tung, "however, the latest technology offers new promise."32 What's the feature of the new c-skin?A. ht can store information. B. It's quite hard and tough, C. It can replace human skin. D. It's flexible and sensitive 33. Why does the author mention "most e-skins" in paragraph 3? A To introduce the popularity of e-skins.B. To stress the challenges of making e-skins.C. To show the process of making e-skins.D. To compare the similarity between c-skins.34. What can the new e-skin do?A. Adjust the blood pressure. B. Sense the outside temperature.C. Work as a remote controller. D. Recover the wounded skin.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Breakthrough in Hi-techB. E-skin, A Promising BusinessC. Man -made Skin, Improved D. The Widespread Use of E-skin 第二节（共5小题，每题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 迄项。Asking anyone who has worked in their yard, you will always be told that yard work is quite the workout Whether spreading soil, raking （ 用耙子拢）leaves, or pulling undergrowth, you're guaranteed to break a sweat _36_ Even something as simple as planting flowers involves squatting（蹲which engages your legs for your core muscles for balance and your arms for digging._37_.Moreover, heavy yard work is a great way to add variation to your regular exercise program.
