There are five of us, including my brother Jack, my cousins Marleigh, Weston and Michael, and myself that are particularly close. Every summer, since I was six or seven, I have spent time with them. Every summer, I bring home unforgettable memories that I know I will keep forever.Each time I see my cousins, we play a game called, "Hey, remember, when.,“ and we remember all the crazy things we've done in the past.“Hey, remember when Jack ordered room service at the Disneyland Hotel right when we were about to leave?

Edinburgh International Festival.Sakamoto Ryuichi, who died on March 28 after a long battle with cancer, once described his musical method thus: "I open my ears to the world. But what Mr. Srakamoto heard, few others could. As a member of the Japanese techno-pop band Yellow Magic Orchestra, he helped pioneer modern electronic music. As a composer, he brought the work of directors such as Bernardo Bertolucci to life. His passing brought about mourning from the whole music world.Mr. Sakamoto was born in Tokyo in 1952 and took to music early. He graduated from one of Tokyo's top colleges of music, where he studied Western classical music, and explored an interest in the traditional music of Japan's Okinawa as well as in that of India and Africa. Early in his career, Mr. Sakamoto trained his ears on the sound of technology. Yellow Magic Orchestra, a group he formed in 1978,used synthesisers(合成器)in instrumental songs intended for dancing - a novel combination at the time. "Errors or noises absorb me and I wonder if new musical currents could come from this imperfection,Mr. Sakamoto said. That was exactly what happened: Mr. Sakamoto's music helped inspire what would later become techno and hip-hop. Then he turned towards the sound of nature. He listened to the wind blowing, the water dropping, the rocks moving and the leaves falling, which he introduced into his music.Unusually for a Japanese musician, Mr. Sakamoto used his fame to speak out on social and political issues, including environmental preservation and nuclear(原子核的)power. In 2011, an earthquake and tsunami rocked northeast Japan and set off a nuclear meltdown in Fukushima. In the wake of the disaster, Mr. Sakamoto travelled often to the region to support local residents.In 2014, the cancer shook Mr. Sakamoto's life. But even that could not weaken his longing to hear more. In the next few years, he composed the score fbr “The Revenant”,and produced a film about sound called “Coda”.4.

Sakamoto Ryuichi: speaking out for the common peopleOne of the challenges in treating burn patients is the repetition of dressing changes, which can be extremely painful. To bring relief to this problem, University of Waterloo researchers have created a smart wound dressing material that uses advanced polymers(聚合 物)for personalized treatment. This new dressing, tailored through 3D printing, could improve the recovery process for burn patients.“The material has good surface adhesion, which is a key feature. It can easily become attached to the skin and be taken 0工" said Dr. Boxin Zhao, a professor in Waterloo's Department of Chemical Engineering, whose team has made significant advances in developing intelligent hydrogel(水凝胶)materials for use as a reusable wound dressing.In developing the dressing, the researchers conducted a 3D scan of the patient's face and body parts to personalize it to an individuaPs needs. This enables the dressing to make good contact with surfaces like noses and fingers, making it perfect for creating personalized wound dressings for burn patients.The dressing's heat responsiveness allows it to warm on the skin and gently lower to room temperature. Additionally, when cooled in the fridge, the dressing become larger but become smaller in size at body temperature, making it easier and less painful to remove. Also, the dressing is designed to let go of the drug a little at a time, allowing for longer-lasting pain relief.A study highlighting the team's progress was recently published in the Journal of Colloids and Interface Science. The next step fbr Zhao's research group is to continue improving the materiaPs properties to make it healthier and commercially workable. The material also has potential applications for cancer treatment. Traditionally, a patient may need to be in a clinic for hours. This dressing can provide assistance outside the clinic setting, reducing some of the challenges connected with traditional methods.8. What does the underlined word “adhesion“ probably mean in paragraph 2?A. The ability to be recycled.B. The feature of being adaptable.C. The feature of being intelligent.D. The ability to stick to a substance.9. What is the purpose of 3D scans?A. To treat the wound.B.To figure out thebum.C. To tailor the dressing's shape.D.To develop the dressing.10. What does paragraph 4 focus on concerning the smart dressing?A. Its potential.B.Its effectiveness.C. Its properties.D.Its variety.11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The material is not health-friendly.B. The material will be put into market.C. The material has been applied to treat cancer.D. The material is introduced to the public online.Space settlement is widely debated. Some argue living in space is unrealistic and that we should concentrate on improving life on Earth instead of potentially ruining another planet.Taking living on Mars as an example, some scientists think it is a fantasy. To make it, Mars needs to first be warmed to closer to Earth's average temperature, which will take about 100 years. Then the planet must be made to produce oxygen, which will take 100,000 years or more. A 2018 NASA study concluded that, based on the levels of CO2 found on Mars, the above plan is not practical. If a solution were found and conducted, a project of that magnitude would cost billions, perhaps trillions(万亿).Besides, humans have made a mess of Earth. If humans are able to change an uninhabitable planet in space into an appealing home for humans, surely we have the capability to fix the problems we've created on Earth. John Traphagan, Professor at the University of Texas, argued, "We need to stop holding the belief of human exceptionalism and start seeing humans as part of a collection of species. As long as we bring it with us to other worlds, we will repeat the same mistakes.”However, others argue humans have a moral obligation to save our species from extinction, and space settlement is one way of doing so. According to some philosophies, humans are the only beings capable of morality, and, thus, preserving our species is the most morally pressing. Space settlement gives humankind the opportunity to significantly raise the chances of survival by providing access to the solar system's resources, and increasing knowledge of space and Earth.Space settlement is the next logical(合理的)step in human growth. Humans are not a species to stand still. Jeff Bezos, who traveled to space in 2021, stated, "The solar system can easily support a trillion humans. And if we had a trillion humans, we would have a thousand Einsteins and a thousand Mozarts and unlimited, fbr all practical purposes/5 12. What information does paragraph 2 deliver?A. Solutions to living on Mars have been found.B. The 2018 NASA study agreed to live on Mars.C. Some scientists regard living on Mars unrealistic.D. The temperature on Mars is suitable for habitation.13. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. The mess.B. The capability.C. The belief.D. A collection of species.14. According to Jeff Bezos, what benefit will space settlement bring?B. Rich knowledge.D. Unlimited wealth.A. More human geniuses.C More diverse species.15. What is the author's attitude to space settlement?A. Doubtful. B. Objective.C. Worried.D. Positive.二、七选五The biggest risk I've ever taken was quitting my job and biking alone across western China. 16 So it was a huge physical challenge but I got stronger every day, and eventually, I could easily bike for eight hours each day.One of the best parts of the whole experience was the people. I met people from across China and once got to attend a Tibetan wedding-something I never thought I would do. 17 One time I even met a group of Chinese men traveling by motorcycle, who invited me to cook fish that they caught in the lake over a fire with wood. Another instance was when I met a group of cyclists. They were in their 60s and 70s and still cycling better than I was. 18The people were some of the best parts of the trip, but mostly each day, I was alone with nature. Throughout the rolling hills and the flowing streams, western China is home to some of the most amazing scenery in the world. 19 With thick forests, icy glaciers, and peaceful lakes, there is so much to see in China.20 I got to taste local snacks in every place I went. There are so many different options! My favorite was the cooking of Sichuan, a province known for its hot flavors and interesting dishes. No matter how much I ate, I never got sick of having different Chinese foods.It was indeed an experience I will never forget. If anyone has an interest in traveling, I would highly recommend going by bicycle!A. It simply took my breath away.B. My family were shocked and tried to talk me out of it.C. The food was definitely another highlight of my journey.D. I had never biked for more than two hours in one day before.E. It really inspired me to push myself and go farther every day.F. Traveling by bicycle was actually much cheaper than I thought.G. The whole event was extraordinary, full of dancing, laughter and fun.三、完形填空One dark morning while driving to work, my dad, Clayton Kavalinas, died in a crash to avoid a deer in the road.
