一、阅读理解
More than2,600enterpris gathered and prented their advanced products at the China International Import Expo(CIIE).And many innovative products have made their world premiere.Let’s have a look at three of them.
Quick corona-virus test machine
Nucleic acid testing could be faster in the future.King Fisher Apex,made by the Finnish tech company Thermo Fisher Scientific,can complete the extraction of96nucleic acid samples in just15minutes.The tester can purify nucleic acid and protein automatically to save rearchers’time spent on additional steps,significantly improving nucleic acid test efficiency.Also,the system eliminates manual intervention.The risk of exposure to harmful re-agents or biological samples,such as blood,is greatly reduced for medical staff.
Myopic(近视)prevention glass
Here comes a lifesaver for teenagers with poor eyesight—a myopic control lens. Whether it’s a classroom blackboard or a tablet,an outdoor activity or a mobile phone game, the Stellest lens from Essilor,a French company,keeps the same control effect,with changeable viewing angles and constant visual clarity.The lens can create a beam in front of the retina that will slow down the increa of the eye axis.Therefore,the development of myopia can be contained.
Portable kayak
A folding,portable,18-kilogram“backpack”can be inflated into a kayak.The safe, lightweight ITIWIT X500Kayak,made by Decathlon,a French sports goods group,makes kayak racing accessible to the majority.It consists of five“air chambers”,so even if two of them don’t work,the inflatable kayak will help pasngers safely return to land.To solve long-standing problems in the kayak industry—from lack of durability to overall insufficient performance—the company applied a special metal processing technology to its product. The ITIWITX500Kayak’s V-shaped bottom makes this product long-lasting and tough. 1．Who safety is largely guaranteed by King Fisher Apex?

Many artists draw with pens and brushes,but few“paint”with knives.Wang Jing,a woman from Shenyang city in northeast China’s Liaoning Province,has been engaged in this novel art form for27years.
繁体字名字
In1995,Wang was inspired by an accidental cut by a knife on a piece of red paper, which left a white
line,and believed that she may have created something out of the ordinary. Using knives and paper,she then completed a painting of a pair of peacocks that later became a source of motivation for her27-year endeavor.
Unlike traditional paintings,onto which colors are“added”,“knife painting”us blades to take away colors on specially made coated paper.“Knife painters”apply varied pressure on the paper in different directions to create different colors and tones.“Painting on paper with knives is a delicate art and each line in the painting is as thin as a hair,”said Wang,adding that once the marks are left on the paper,they cannot be covered,so it requires the painter to be completely absorbed in the work.
希特勒头骨The novel art form was known to few people just after Wang created it.Even Wang herlf was not expecting to make it something big at the beginning.But thanks to her huge enthusiasm for the art form,she has persisted with it for the past27years.So far,she has completed hundreds of paintings about auspicious Chine culture,figures,landscape, flowers and birds,of which her favorite is a2.8-meter-long painting that depicts20lifelike egrets.Wang said she will continue working in the craft and make it known across the world. 4．What powers Wang in her27-year devotion to knife painting?

Agricultural pests that devour key food crops are advancing northwards in the US and becoming more widespread as the climate hots up,new rearch reports.The corn ear-worm is considered to be among the most common farm pests in the US,damaging crops such as maize,cotton,soya and other vegetables.It spends winter underground and is not known to survive in states beyond a latitude of40degrees north,but that is changing as soils warm and it spreads to new areas,according to rearch led by north Carolina State University.
Rearchers created maps that showed three distinct geographical zones across the US —the“southern range”where corn ear worms survive winter,a“transitional zone”where they may survive winter,and“northern limits”,where they are generally unable to survive winter becau soil temperatures drop below freezing.
Rearchers already knew that warmer winter soils meant incts that live in the soil are more likely to survive.“As the climate changes,the overwintering zones are likely to shift northward,”said the coauthor Anders Huth,an entomologist at North Carolina State University.The southern range has grown by3%since1981and is predicted to double in size by the end of the century,as the other zones get smaller,according to the report.
This could result in incread u of pesticides and lower yields.“If intensive maize production does not also shift north with changing climate,we expect that corn ear worm will become a more frequent and important problem in the states,”said Dr.Douglas Lawton,a co-author of the report.
“Organic growers have a major challenge controlling this pest and often accept significant crop loss when infestations are high,”he said.Monitoring soil temperatures
could help predict the spread of pests,helping farmers control them more effectively,the report suggests.
Huth said:“We’d like to come up with a letter forecasting tool for this pest,along with a risk-prediction model,in order to better inform growers of pest spread.Success here could reduce both costs for farmers and pesticide into the environment.”

The mountain bongo antelope,one of the world’s most endangered animals,is likely to continue roaming in the wild of Kenya for longer due to intensified efforts to protect it from extinction.
Following18years of conrvation efforts,staff members from the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conrvancy reached a milestone this year—the first baby mountain bongo born in the wild.One of the world’s most unique animals,the mountain bongo is the largest,heaviest and most colorful of the forest antelopes in Africa.Endemic to equatorial forests and only found in Kenya’s wild,this species has e
认证计费n a dramatic decline in numbers in the last few decades from an estimated population of25,000to less than100,according to a recent wildlife census in Kenya.Before the beginning of this decline in the1960s,the critically endangered animals once roamed freely in Kenya’s high-altitude forests of the Aberdares, Mount Elgon and Mount Kenya.Its population decline was primarily human-driven.
To rever the decline,the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conrvancy has geared up efforts in
partnership with the Kenyan government to save the mountain bongo from extinction through a breeding and rewinding program.Robert Aruho,head of Mount Kenya Wildlife Conrvancy,said its aim is to restore Kenya’s heritage species.
人大换届“As we speak,the mountain bongo antelope has suffered massive decline and we are left with less than100of the species in the wild.What makes this animal special is that it is only found in the wild in Kenya and its decline in this area therefore means its decline in the world,”said Aruho,adding that the animal is believed to be extinct in most of its natural habitats.

“Our program has taken the animals through a ries of adaptation measures to enable them to acclimatize to life in the wild as oppod to zoos.This involved getting ud to local food and adapting to local parasites and dias.This has enabled them to breed and produce offspring that
are indigenous to this environment.”
With the first pha of adaptation being complete,the conrvancy will move to the cond pha which entails introducing the antelopes to the wild.
12．What does the underlined word“roaming”in paragraph1mean?
A．Declining.B．Wandering.
C．Struggling.D．Decreasing.
13．What can be learned about the mountain bongo antelope?
A．It can be only found in the wild in Kenya.
B．It is unique to the subtropical rainforest.
C．The decline of its population was caud by climate change.
D．It is the largest and most colorful of the forest antelopes in the world.
14．What will the staff members from the program probably do next?
A．They will help the mountain bongo antelope get ud to local food.
B．They will assist the mountain bongo antelope in adapting to the local dia. C．They will put the mountain bongo antelope back to the zoo.
D．They will bring the mountain bongo antelope to the wild environment in Kenya. 15．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．An Endangered Antelope B．The Kenyan Forests
