12、s star tells CNBC Make It.Mahomes has had the same trainer since he was 10, and though he didnt focus on football until his second year at Texas Tech, hes known for an unimaginable ability to do with whats happening around him on the field. He also practices every single kind of wild throw he might

13、make in a game. With that knack for top performance, during four seasons in the NFL Mahomes had led the Chiefs to their first Super Bowl in 50 years, for which he was named the games MVP. At 25, Mahomes has also signed the largest sports contract in history: In July, he signed a deal with the Chiefs

14、 worth nearly $500 million over 10 years.But for all his wins, Mahomes says a defeat like the Chiefs 9-31 Super Bowl loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can be more useful, People see me on the field playing and winning a lot of football games, and they see the contract and the different businesses tha

15、t I work with, and they think that everything doing is kind of just working out/ Mahomes tells CNBC Make It.

19、tentially sick patients and health care workers. To that end, they worked with Boston Dynamics to create a mobile robot that could interact with patients as they waited in the emergency department. The robots were equipped with sensors（传感器）that allowed them to measure signs of life. The robots also

20、carried an iPad that allowed for remote video communication with a health care provider.This kind of robot could reduce health care workers risk of exposure to Covid-19 and help to conserve the personal protective equipment that was needed for each interaction. However, the question still remained w

21、hether patients would accept this type of interaction.In Traverses study they were trying to tide that up and understand if the population accepted a solution like this one. The researchers first conducted a nationwide survey of about 1,000 people. They asked questions regarding the acceptability of

22、 robots in health care, including whether people would be comfortable with robots performing not only classification but also other tasks such as planting a tube, or turning a patient over in bed. On average, the subjects stated that they were open to these types of interactions.The researchers then

23、 tested one of their robots in the emergency department at Brigham and Womens Hospital last spring, when Covid-19 cases were flooding in Massachusetts Fifty-one patients were approached in the waiting room and asked if they would be willing to participate in the study, and 41 agreed. These patients

24、were interviewed about their symptoms via video connection, using an iPad carried by a dog-like robot developed by Boston Dynamics. More than 90 percent of the participants reported that they were satisfied with the robotic system.“For the purposes of gal Bering quick classification information, the

27、es.B. By stating opinions.C. By making comparisons.D. By analyzing research data.11. What can be a suitable tittle for the text?A. The Covid-19 Patients Favor RobotsB. Health Care Workers Are UnavailableC. The Robotic Doctor Can See You NowD. Robot Development Needs Human SupportIncreasing electric

28、vehicle sales has urged a growing demand for lithium（锂）. But the light metal, which is a must for making power-packed rechargeable batteries, isnt abundant. Now, researchers report a major step toward developing a potentially limitless lithium supply: pulling it straight out of seawater.Lithium stor

29、es more energy by weight than other battery materials. Producers use more than 160,000 tons of the material every year. But lithium supplies are limited. However, seawater could come to the rescue. The worlds oceans contain an estimated 180 billion tons of lithium. But its thin, present at roughly 0

30、.2 parts per million. Researchers have tried to selectively get lithium from seawater.Choi and other researchers have also tried to use lithium-ion battery electrodes（电极）to pull lithium directly from seawater without the need for first making the water boiling.But during the course it pulls lithium

31、and sodium（钠）as well. To avoid this problem researchers led by Yi Cui, a materials scientist at Stanford University, looked for ways to make electrode materials more selective. First, they coated an electrode with a thin layer as a barrier, which is easier for them to go through and into the electro

32、de sandwich. The researchers also changed the way they controlled the electric voltage（电压）. Instead of applying a constant negative voltage to the electrode, they cycled it. Repeating the cycle concentrated lithium in the electrode. After 10 such cycles, taking just minutes, Cui and colleagues ended

33、 up with a one- to-one rate of lithium to sodium,“That doubles the selectivity, at least/ compared with previous attempts to use battery electrodes to harvest lithium, says Chong Liu, a materials scientist at the University of Chicago. The advance is still not likely cheap enough to compete with min

34、ing lithium on land. However, she says her group is attempting to increase selectivity by using other types of lithium-ion battery electrodes.12. How much pure lithium may the sea contain?A. 16,000 tons.B. 36,000 tons.C. 90 billion tons.D. 180 billion tons.13. Why did the researchers change the way

35、to control the voltage?A. To avoid lithium being crowded out.B. To get lithium without boiling seawater.C. To compete with mining lithium on land.D. To have the same amount of lithium and sodium.14. What does the text mainly talk about?A. Seawater provides a battery material.B. Lithium is prized for

36、 recharging.C. Lithiums shortage has raised concerns.D. Electric vehicle sales are developing.15. What is the authors attitude to the major step in the text?A. Doubtful.B. Objective.C. Disapproving.D. Ambiguous.二、七选五Even if you/re in a tough situation, taking advice can be really hard. Sometimes, th

37、ough, an outside perspective can help you see things in a new light, making it easier to decide what to do.16. Then, take some time to think about that advice critically before you make your decision.Let go of the idea that you already have the answer. Unfortunately, we all have a tendency to be ove

38、r-confident that we know whats best.17. When someone is offering your advice, try to listen in a receptive and open-minded way. After all, they might have a solution that could work better than whatever you already had in mind.Choose your advisers wisely. 18. The best advice comes from people whove

39、been in your shoes before, who really care about you, or who are experts on the subject in question. However, just because someone who is successful in their field doesnt necessarily mean they/ll give you good advice. Dont let someones position cloud your judgment.19.

41、 as well as how it made an effect on you.20.A. Seek several different opinions.B. However, that mental state can really hold you back.C. Be sharp-eyed when youre choosing who to take advice from.D. Remember to ask for advice only from people who always agree with you.E.Not only is this polite, but i

42、t also lets the person know that you value their opinion.F.If youve always done something a certain way, someone might suggest a different way.
