Gardens are an increasingly important shelter forwildlife which was forced into withdrawing from the countrysideby loss of the natural homes and intensive farming. But the growthin the popularity of artificial lawns, which look like the real thing but require no cutting, watering or fertilizing, means theres no shelter in an increasing number of Britains back gardens.Tim Rumball, editor of Amateur Gardening magazine, said: “Artificial grass these days looks great and these days you can buy rolls of it whereas before it was a very specialist thing. It can take people a few minutes to realize they are on an artificial lawn rather than a real one.”Besides the impact on wildlife, a damaging impact has also been had on the wider environment because of replacing real grass. Mr Rumball said: “Lawns matter a lot. Plants change carbon dioxide into oxygen and if all the lawns are taken away in Britain you will significantly affect the carbon levels in the atmosphere. When grass grows longer, it attracts insects. If you have an artificial lawn then these insects will be reduced and the whole of the food chain will be affected, especially birds that rely on insects for their diet.”Joy Wallis of Dorset Wildlife Trust is also concerned about the trend for artificial grass. “These days, gardens are a shelter for wildlife.” she said. “Creatures cant survive in the countryside because it is so full of chemicals. Birds get absolutely nothing from artificial grass, and they cant dig for worms or anything like that. It seems a shame that people feel they havent got the time or the tendency to look after a lawn.”Robert Redcliffe of Namgrass, which currently sells 10,000 square meters of artificial grass per week, says business is booming, adding, “We started five years ago in the UK and it can transform the way you use the garden. Theres the obvious advantage of no cutting or watering, but also theres no mud for children or pets to walk through the house.” He disagrees that artificial grass is harmful to the environment and added, “There are ecological benefits. In the long run the effect of artificial grass is outweighed by not having to use a lawnmower, running water or fertilizers.”58. What can we learn from the growing trend for artificial lawns?A. More people are fed up with the real lawns.B. More people prefer the lower price of artificial grass. C. More people believe artificial grass to look really better.D. More people pay less attention to taking care of the environment. 59. What can be inferred from what Robert Redcliffe says? A. Wildlife is likely to be threatened. B. All enjoy the convenience of artificial lawns. C. He focuses on keeping the balance of ecology.D. Parents spend more time accompanying children.60. The authors real purpose of writing the passage is to_. A. warn the publicagainst damaging the real lawns B. emphasize the necessity of limiting artificial lawns C. provide ways of protecting the living environment D. give the reasons for the popularity of artificial lawns C Robotic surgery is one thing, but sending a robot inside the body to carry out an operation quite another, which has long been a goal of some researchers to produce tiny robotic devices being capable of traveling through the body to deliver drugs or to make repairs without the need for a single cut, the possibility of which has just got a bit closer.However, unlike the plot of one filmwhich featured a microscopic crew and submarine traveling through a scientists bloodstream this device could not be inserted into blood vessels（管）because it is too big. While other types of miniature swallowable robots have been developed in the past, their role has mostly been limited to capturing images inside the body. In a presentation this week to the International Conference, Daniela Rus and Shuhei Miyashita of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology described a robot they have developed that can be swallowed and used to collect dangerous objects accidentally taken in.To test their latest version, Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita designed a robot as a battery hunter, which might seem to be an odd task, but more than 3,500 people in America alone, most of them children, swallow the tiny button cells used in small electronic devices by accident every year. To start with, the researchers created an artificial esophagus（食道）and stomach made out of silicone(硅胶). It was closely modeled on that found in a pig and filled with medical liquid; the robot itself is made from several layers of different materials, including pig intestine（肠）, and contains a little magnet. This is folded up and encased in a 10mm27mm capsule of ice. Once this reaches the stomach the ice melts and the robot unfolds which is moved and guided with the use of a magnetic field outside the body. In their tests, the robot was able to touch a button battery and draw it with its own magnet, and during dragging it along, the robot could then be directed towards the intestines where it would eventually be gotten rid of through the anus(肛门). After it, the researchers sent in another robot loaded with medication to deliver it to the site of the battery burn to speed up healing.The artificial stomach being transparent on one side, the researchers were able to see the batteries and visually control the robots. If not, that will require help with the help from imaging system, which will be a bit more of a challenge, but Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita are determined to succeed.61. According to the passage, the robot operation will probably be able to_.A. travel through a scientists bloodstream B. photograph the body to convey to the doctor C. enter the body to deliver drugs or make repairs D. operate on a person outside the body completely 62. We learn from Paragraph 3 that _.A. the researchers did the experiment on a chosen animal B. the robot took necessary drugs besides a little magnet C. digesting the swallowed batteries is difficult for children D. the actual size of the robot may be larger than the capsule of ice 63. What may the experiment mean to the medical world?A. The surgeries will cost patients much money. B. Patients will suffer less for some surgeries. C. Fewer children will swallow the button cells. D. A robot will be invented travelling blood vessels. 64. Which can be the most suitable title for the passage?A. An Experiment on Robot B. Tiny Robot, Significant Role C. The Fantastic Robotic Voyage D. The Exploration of Robot Technology DNelle Harper Lee, better known by her pen nameHarper Lee, was an American novelistwidely known forTo Kill a Mockingbird, published in 1960. Immediately successful, it won the 1961Pulitzer Prizeand has become a classic of modernAmerican literature.In 1991 an organization conducted a survey that made readers identify books that had “made a difference” in their lives. The result? Lees book trailed only The Bible. Alongside the works of Shakespeare and Twain, this novel remains one of the most widely taught books nationwide, reaching about 70% of American public schools. What makes it such a typical read for young people?English class is a place where young Americans come to know themselves. In the folds of dusty books, students can make contact with humanity beyond the shallow small talk of the school hallways. Disturbed by hormones and anxiety, teenagers get through school with confusion and frustration.Literature is a safety valve（安全阀）it promises relief, a place to figure out ones problems and get to know oneself better.The novel particularly distinguishes itself in this aspect. It speaks in a childs voice without treating its readership as children. Some critics have called it an impossible achievement, a childrens book penned by a well-educated adult its unlikely that a child like Scout could exist in the real world. But thats exactly what makes it such a charming, attractive read for young people. It indicates the consciousness of a well-educated adult facing difficult realities, but describes it through the light and playful voice of a curious little girl.Gaby Hick, a third-year student focused on English literature at Brown University, calls it “one of the first books that kids and young adults read that deals with serious issues rape, race, mental issues”. She adds, “The story makes these adult themes accessible because of Scout.” The books setting, a small town in Alabama affected by the Great Depression of the 1930s, may appear very different from the experience of most kids reading it today. But Lees words make her story feel alive and present.In 2006, however, critic Thomas Mallon expressed his regret about the books avoiding moral complexity in The New Yorker. But her novel makes a great teaching tool for teenagers precisely because its moral view is as clear as that of one of Aesops fables. That absence of ambiguity in this novel doesnt mean the novel is free of challenging ideas, either. Will Serratelli, another literature student at Brown says, “There arent many hard moral questions being askedbut it opens up all these other questions that I hadnt thought about before. My English teachers always asked, Do you sympathize with this character? Would you want to hang o
