11、e，and most importantly，environmentally sustainable.The one thing it is not，is transparent! Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholms KTH Royal Institute of Technology the material may even be able to add that feature to its already impressive list.Lead researcher Dr，Lars Berglund said he was

12、inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices.The team began by pulling out the woods lignin(木质素).The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer(聚合物)and baked at a temp

21、at of the car, the warm intonations(语调) of the drivers accent washed over me in a familiar way.I learned that he was a recent West African immigrant with a few young children, working hard to provide for his family.

23、he product of his sacrifice.And then came the fateful question: “What do you study?” I answered “history and literature” and the pride in his voice faded, as I knew it might. I didnt even get to add “and African-American studies” before he cut in, his voice thick with disappointment, “All that work

24、to get into Harvard, and you study history?”Here I was, his daughter, squandering the biggest opportunity of her life. He went on to deliver the age-old lecture that all immigrant kids know. We are to become doctors (or lawyers, if our parents are being generous) to make money and send money back ho

The unspoken demand, made across generations, which my Uber driver laid out plainly, is simple: Fulfill your role in the narrative(故事) of upward mobility so your children can do the same.I used to feel anxious and backed into a corner by the questioning, but now as a junior in college, Im gratef

Now, lets have a look together at some of them.1.Paul McCartney Found Yesterday in a dreamPaul McCartney is one of the most famous singer

30、s/songwriters of all time. According to the Guinness Book of Records, his Beatles song Yesterday(1965) has the most cover（翻唱） versions of any song ever written and, according to record label BMI，was performed over seven million times in the 20th century.The tune for Yesterday came to Paul McCartney

31、in a dream.“I woke up with a lovely tune in my head. I thought, Thats great, I wonder what that is? There was an upright piano next to me, to the right of my bed by the window. I got out of bed, sat at the piano, found G, found F sharp minor- and that leads you through then to B to E minor, and fina

32、lly back to E. It all leads forward logically. I liked the _melody a lot, but because Id dreamed it, I couldnt believe Id written it. I thought, No, Ive never written anything like this before. But I had the tune, which was the most magic thing! ”2. Mary Shelleys Frankentein Inspired by a DreamIn th

33、e summer of 1816, nineteen-year-old Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin and her lover, the poet Percy Shelley (whom she married later that year),visited the poet Lord Byron at his villa beside Lake Geneva in Switzerland. Stormy weather frequently forced them indoors, where they and Byrons other guests someti

34、mes read from a volume of ghost stories. One evening, Byron challenged his guests to each write one themselves.Marys story, inspired by a dream, became Frankentein（科学怪人）.“When I placed my head upon my pillow, I did not sleep, nor could I be said to think-My eyes shut ,I saw-with my acute mental visi

38、 that come true DHow to dream24（8分）Do you ever wonder why trees begin to bud (发芽) earlier in some cities? Scientists finally found the answer but its not very pleasant. New science suggests a relationship between light pollution and the timing when trees produce buds, which signals the arrival of th

39、e spring season.Light pollution is defined by the Lighting Research Center as the unwanted consequence of outdoor lighting such as street lights. Excessive (过多的) man-made light at night results in disturbed natural cycles, and also prevents the observation of stars and planets at night. But its effe

40、ct on the environment goes beyond that.By studying some trees, researchers found out that trees that are more exposed to artificial lighting at night bud up to 7.5 days earlier than those at the natural nighttime setting. And they found out that light had a more significant effect than temperature w

41、hen the buds came out. The early budding may cause problems for insects, which feed on leaves, and the birds which then feed on them in turn. Professor Richard, who helped lead the research, explained that more than the budding of trees, the study implies the danger to the balance of the ecosystem.

42、“At the moment, caterpillars (毛毛虫) are timed to hatch to make the most of the opportunities to feed on freshly budded leaves, and birds hatch in time to feed on the young caterpillar,” he said.Migratory (迁徙的) birds are also negatively affected by light pollution. The glare might confuse them and mak

43、e them lose their flying sense. The phenomenon might explain why some birds accidentally knock into buildings.Such results stress the need to pursue studies that aim to measure the effect of light pollution. If the issue were left to continue, it is estimated that by 2100, spring would begin almost

44、a full month earlier than it does today.1、What will happen if there is too much man-made light?APeoples eyesight will be damaged.BThe ecosystem will likely lose its balance.CNo stars or planets may be observed at night.DAnimals living habits may change suddenly.2、How does the early budding affect in

45、sects or plants?AIt will cause the rising number of insects.BIt could lead to trees growing fewer leaves.CIt may result in some insects going hungry.DIt might push insects to hatch more slowly.3、What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?AThe effect of light pollution is destructive.

46、BThe spring of 2100 will become much longer.CLight pollution should be taken seriously.DA further study on light pollution is scheduled.4、What is the suitable title for the passage?AWhy spring comes earlier in some citiesBWhy light pollution needs to be studiedCHow trees early budding takes placeDHo

49、 building by farmers who had the simplest tools.
