Many of them have even gone through whats called a “dinosaur phase”- a period of time 37 they cant stop talking about dinosaurs, cant 38 without hearing a dinosaur bedtime story, and use a backpack with a dinosaur pattern on it.Adults may have long 39 out of their dinosaur phase, but somehow the appeal is still there.The 40 consists in the success of Steven Spielbergs 1993 film Jurassic Park, and every following installment(一集) of the series. And in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, which was 41 in Chinese mainland cinemas on June 15, these ancient beasts are taking over the 42 world once again.National Geographic has an explanation behind the animals 43 : Dinosaurs are “ 44 science and imagination meet”, which is probably what makes them so appealing, to kids and adults alike. Dinosaurs are often pared to dragons, but are seen as cooler because theyre 45 . The huge skeletons in museums prove their existence millions of years ago on the same Earth that we now live on. 46 , new discoveries have been made in different parts of the world that open up a bigger 47 of these ancient species. And how they went extinct(绝种的) is also a popular subject of 48 studies.However, we still seem to know so little about dinosaurs, and have to rely on our 49 when it 50 to questions like “How did they live?”, “What did they sound like?” and “How fast could they run?”. Its this sense of mystery that 51 dinosaurs attraction pared to other fierce animals like lions and tigers - animals that can easily be seen in todays zoos.But theres more to this dinosaur appeal.According to Guardian reporter Brian Switek, humans are fascinated by dinosaurs not just because were interested in their history, but also because were trying to have a better understanding of human history.“Dinosaurs 52 be Hollywood monsters, objects of scientific fascination(着迷) and everything 53 , but at the root of it, our fascination with them 54 from wanting to know more about the prehistory we 55 ,” he wrote. “The dinosaur story is part of our own.”36. A. wonderB. secret C. doubtD. question37. A. thatB. whichC. when D. while38. A. eatB. workC. playD. sleep39. A. leftB. grown C. jumpedD. run40. A. truthB. answerC. proof D. matter41.

Before we go on, I have to mention it is different when you write a review for yourself i.e. your blog or website and for your professor in college.To an untrained eye, reviews may seem pointless. Whats the point of writing about something when other people and your professor have already read the book? Isnt it enough to talk about it in the class?Just as movie reviews develop your critical thinking, book reviews do the same. It is not enough to read a book and call it a day; you have to establish your opinion, your likes, and dislikes. When a professor gives you this assignment, he/she wants to see your abilities to analyze the book and use vocabulary skills to discuss different parts of the plot.Since we are accustomed to writing book reports at a very young age, it es as no surprise we dont think book reviews are different than a book report. Contrary to the popular belief, book reviews and book reports are two different types of writing. Knowing how they differ is essential for writing a high-quality paper that will guarantee a good grade.Book reports usually centre around topical details about the author and the plot of the story. On the other hand, a book review is a more plicated approach to understanding and discussing a book. It doesnt centre around a summary of each section, but you have to carry out a thorough analysis. As you grow and develop as a student, so does your ability to think critically. You dont just sum up what youve just read but analyze every piece of the puzzle in order to show the ability not only to pay attention to detail but also engage thinking critically. Here, you have to be careful that you arent, actually, just retelling the story.While book reviews may contain some elements of book reports e.g. author, characters, plot, the emphasis is to provide a more detailed insight, go deeper and elaborate strengths and weaknesses of the book, and discuss the elements of the story.You know the difference between book reports and book reviews, now what? Now youre ready to begin the assignment. In order to write a thorough book review, you have to pay attention to everything about the book, which is why writing down the information about the author, genre, etc. is strongly advised. Thats why youll need a pen and notebook where you can write everything.58. According to the passage, what should be done before starting to write a review?A. Identifying the target readerB. Consulting with your professorC. Developing an interest in reviews.D. Listing all your thoughts on the paper.59. The author shows the importance of a book review mainly by _. A. giving a solid exampleB. making a reasonable assumptionC. drawing a valid parison D. providing a detailed description60. Where does the fundamental difference between a report and a review lie?A. Objective summary B. Critical mentsC. Thorough prehension D. Personal abilitiesCThe worlds most plex biological puter, made from a group of engineered cells, could one day be implanted into the body to detect diseases and deliver treatments.In an early research in 2012, Martin Fussenegger at ETH Zurish in Switzerland and his colleagues engineered two kidney cells to bee a biological circuit(电路，回路) capable of simple mathematics. One of the cells was able to calculate addition: the presence or absence of each of two chemicals would switch on a reaction inside the cell that would make it shine different colors. The other cell worked in the same way but could substract amounts. This kind of biological circuit resembles a simple logic circuit in a puter. In theory, it could be used to indicate the presence of an infectious substance while in fact it failed.Most biological reactions in the body arent that simple, though. They rarely rely on “one input and one output”-instead, multiple inputs lead to different outputs. For instance, a high level of calcium in the body in the presence of a specific hormone may suggest one disease, but a high level of calcium along with another hormone might indicate a pletely different condition. To be more practical, biological puters need to be able to perform more plex mathematics. However, it is hard to pack multiple calculations into a single cell. To get around this, Fussenegger and his team have engineered a multi-cellular system, in which different cells each perform a separate calculation and pass on the results to each other.The system has nine cells, each containing a biochemical reaction that responds to three chemical inputs-similar to an AND, NOT and OR system in a traditional electronic circuit. These cells coordinate their activities by releasing chemicals that pass from one cell to the other. Together, they form a fully biological circuit that can respond to multiple inputs.“Although it is not at a stage yet where we can test on animals, we believe it is the most plex biological puter ever assembled,” says Fussenegger. “This work addresses one of the major limitations in synthetic biology (合成生物学)-a lack of programmable devices,” says Angel Goni-Moreno, a synthetic biologist at Newcastle University, UK. He says that Fusseneggers multicellular approach enables you to programme the circuit and achieve different calculations just by connecting the nine cells in different configurations(设置).In the future, a biological puter like this could be used to monitor more plex medical conditions. For example, it could respond to a rise in calcium, a drop in a hormone and an increase in a biomarker, which together would signal the presence of a specific type of cancer, help diagnose it and alert the user to seek appropriate treatment.61. The underlined word “substract” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _. A. add up B. take away C. split up D. give away62. What was the progress made in Fussenegers early research?A. A biological circuit was implanted in one of kidney cells.B. The indication of infectious substances became a reality.C. Engineered kidney cells could switch on biological reactions.D. Certain cells were made capable of performing mathematics63. What has made Fusseneggers current multi-cellular system so special?A. It has all the functions of a traditional electronic circuitB. It is programmable and able to perform different mathematics.C. It has successfully packed multiple calculations into a single cell.D. It has been tested through a series of experiments on animals.64. What is the best title for the passage?A. Smart cells indicating various cancersB. Electronic circuit made from multi-cellsC. Programmable cells implanted in human bodiesD. Biological puter made from human cellsDThe concept of a “born leader” seems
