37、wn the average age of farmers.D.To invest more in agriculture.C CMedical drugs sometimes cause more damage than they cure.One solution to this problemis toput the drugs inside a capsule,protecting them from the bodyand the body fromthemuntil theycan be released at just the right spot.There are lots

38、of ways to trigger(引发)thisrelease,including changing temperature,acidity,and so on.But triggers can come withtheir own risksburns,for example.Now,researchers in California have designed whatcould be a harmless trigger to date:shining near-infrared light(NIR,近红外线)on thedrug in the capsule.The idea of

39、 using light to liberate the drug in the capsule isnt new.Researchersaround the globe have developed polymers(聚合物)and other materials that begin to breakdown when theyabsorb either ultraviolet(UV,紫外线)or visible light.But tissues also readily absorbUV andvisible light,which means the drug release can

40、 be triggered only near the skin,wherethe light canreach the capsule.NIR light largely passes through tissues,so researchers have triedto use it as atrigger.But few compounds(化合物)absorb NIR well and go through chemical changes.That changed last year when Adah Almutairi,a chemist at the University of

41、 California,SanDiego,reported that she and her colleagues had designed a polymer that breaks down whenitabsorbs NIR light.Their polymer used a commercially available NIR-absorbing group calledo-nitrobenzyl(ONB).When they catch the light,ONB groups fall off the polymer,leadingto itsbreakdown.But ONB

42、is only a so-so NIR absorber,and it could be poisonous to cells whenitseparates from the polymer.So Almutairi and her colleagues reported creating a new material for capsules thatseven better.This one consists of a long chain of compounds called cresol groups linkedin a polymer.Cresol contains react

43、ive(易反应的)components that make it highly unstablein its polymeric form,a feature Almutairi and her colleagues use to their advantage.After polymerizing the cresols,they cap each reactive component with a light-absorbingcompound called Bhc.When the Bhcs absorb NIR light,the reactive groups are exposed

44、 andbreak the long polymer into two short chains.Shining additional light continues thisbreakdown,potentially releasing any drugs in the capsule.Whats more,Almutairi says,Bhc is 10 times better at absorbing NIR than is ONB and is not poisonous to cells.63.According to the passage,which of the follow

45、ing could be the best trigger?A.Temperature change.B.NIR light.C.Acidity change.D.UV light.64.Why is ONB unsatisfactory?A.It breaks down when it absorbs NIR light.B.It falls off the polymer and triggers drug release.C.It has not come onto the market up till now.D.It is not effective enough and could

46、 be poisonous.65.Which word can be used to complete the following process of changes?A.protectedB.formedC.exposedD.combinedD DFranz Kafka wrote that“a book must be the ax(斧子)for the frozen sea inside us.”Ionceshared this sentence with a class of seventh graders,and it didnt seem to require anyexplan
