“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density(密度)”,said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU.“The radioisotope(放射性同位素) battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.”
Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro / nanoelectromechanical systems (M/NEMS).Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.
“People hear the word ‘nuclear’ and think of something very dangerous,” he said, “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems.”
His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor(半导体).Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.
“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure(晶体结构) of the solid semiconductor,” Kwon said, “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”
Together with J.David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery.In the future, they hope to increase the battery’s power, shrink its size and try with various other materials.Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.

But what are stem cells? As we know, most cells in our bodies are designed to serve specific purposes – for example, a liver cell develops to work in the liver and cannot become a heart cell. But stem cells are different. They are very young, and in the laboratory scientists can grow them into different types of cell.
Claudia Castillo needed a new windpipe after getting a serious disease. Scientists from the University of Bristol in the UK took a donor windpipe, or trachea, from someone who had recently died. They used strong chemicals to remove the donor’s cells, leaving a tissue scaffold(组织支架). This was refilled with cells from Ms Castillo’s windpipe, and stem cells from her bone. After four days the cells had grown sufficiently for the windpipe to be transplanted into Ms Castillo.
Currently, transplant patients have to take drugs for the rest of their lives to prevent their bodies rejecting the new organs. These drugs can have bad side-effects, and do not always prevent rejection. But by using Ms Castillo’s own cells, doctors were able to trick her body into thinking the new windpipe was her own organ. Five months on, Claudia Castillo is in perfect health.
This ground-breaking procedure could be used in other transplant operations in the future. Scientists also believe stem cells might be used to treat Parkinson"s disease, Alzheimer"s disease, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, diabetes, burns and so on.
However, stem cell research is extremely controversial. The most effective stem cells do not come from adults but from embryos created in laboratories and which are just a few days old. Many people have religious or ethical objections to growing embryos, even if they can be used to cure diseases.
小题1:This transplant is considered the greatest medical breakthrough because _________.
A.this is the first organ transplant in the whole world |
B.the patient is in perfect health after the operation |
C.it is the first success with new stem cell technology |
D.the stem cells are from an embryo developed in a lab |
A.they are grown in the lab only |
B.they can grow into different types of cell |
C.they are designed for a specific purpose |
D.they can work in the liver not in the heart |
A.How Claudia survived in the operation |
B.How to remove the cells from the donor’s organ |
C.Why stem cells are needed in the transplant |
D.How the windpipe is transplanted |
A.Human bodies always reject transplanted organs even with their own cells |
B.The donor’s cells had to be removed because they were unhealthy |
C.The transplanted organ was refilled with the stem cells only |
D.Claudia will not have to take drugs to prevent rejection. |
A.controversial | B.confident |
C.conservative (保守的) | D.critical |
“The map says you have to turn when you see a large stone with a red circle,” said one of them.
“What do we do after the turn?” I asked 26 .
“It says we should see a tree. We are 27 to turn 20 meters north of it and dig.
We got there and dug. We had 28 at first digging but we got better and worked very 29 . My trousers were dirty but I kept digging 30 I hit something. It was a large metal box. We 31 the lock and looked inside. There was a letter. It read:
“The lesson you have learned will be very 32 . If you put as much 33 in anything you do as you did in finding the 34 , you will have found the key to making over 20 million dollars.”
This was a trick from my parents. I thought I would never forget this 35 birthday present.

Ocean water is full of salt— and salt water can hold up more weigh than fresh water. See for yourself!
You Will Need:
● 3 cups of warm water
● Measuring cup (量杯)
● Wide-mouthed jar
● Salt
● Spoon
● Raw (生的)potato
You Will Do:
1. Pour 1.5 cups of warm water into the jar.
2. Add 1/3 cup of salt.
3. Stir(搅拌) until the salt is completely dissolved.
4. Add another 1.5 cups of water. Pour it slowly over the back of the spoon into the jar so that the two liquid will not mix together.
5. Gently place the potato into the jar. Do not drop it.
What Will Happen:
The potato will sink— but only halfway!
Why?
Salt water is heavier than fresh water, so it will stay on the bottom. The fresh water will remain on top.
The potato is heavier than the fresh water, but it is lighter than the salt water. That is why the potato will sink halfway down.
小题1:In the experiment, what should you do right after you pour the water over the spoon?
A.Add the salt to the water. | B.Stir the salt into the water. |
C.Place the potato in the jar. | D.Pour warm water into thejar. |
A.It is easier to see what you are doing. |
B.It pushes the fresh water to the bottom. |
C.It will keep the water from coming out. |
D.It will keep the liquids from mixing together. |
A.Step 1 | B.Step 2 | C.Step 3 | D.Step 4 |
A.Carefully | B.Quickly | C.Secretly | D.Silently |
The elephant’s call will be familiar to most people, but the animals also give out growls (低吼). Their growls, however, are only partly audible (听得见的); two-thirds of the call is at frequencies that are too low to be picked up by our hearing. To learn more about the inaudible part of the growl, the team attached (附在……上面) a microphone sensitive to these low frequencies and a GPS tracking system to eight of the zoo’s female elephants. The researchers could then relate the noises the animals were making to what they were doing. Matt Anderson, who led the project, told BBC News, “We’re excited to learn how they interact and contact with one another.”
The team has already learned that pregnant females use this low frequency communication to announce to the rest of their long gestation (妊娠期) of over two years, in the last 12 days we see the low part of the growl, which we can’t hear. This we believe is to announce to the rest of the herd that the baby is upcoming,” said Dr Anderson.
The researchers believe that this also warns the elephants to look out for coming danger. “You may think that a baby calf of about 300 pounds would not be as open to predation (捕食) as other species,” he says. “But packs of hyenas (袋狼) are a big threat in the wild.”
Female elephants are only in season for around four days every four years and these calls can be heard by males more than two miles away.
小题1:Why some elephants’ call is called “secret language”?
A.Because it can’t be heard by human ears. |
B.Because it can only be heard by female elephants. |
C.Because people don’t know its meanings. |
D.Because people haven’t studied it completely. |
A.where the elephants usually go |
B.what the elephants’ growls really mean |
C.how mother elephants raise baby calves |
D.how elephants protect their babies. |
A.show the location where she is staying |
B.ask for help when she losses her way |
C.scare away the enemy |
D.let others know she will have a baby |
A.The elephants can speak like people. |
B.The wild elephants’ ways to fight against enemies. |
C.The “secret language” between elephants. |
D.The special life of female elephants. |
However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. ____2___ Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy.
Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims(声称)as its own. ____3___ No other families of the same species are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away. If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting(筑巢)season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not.__4__.
Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs. You can see that birds have a language all their own. ___5__
A.Only he and his family are welcome there. |
B.Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories. |
C.Have you ever wondered why birds sing? |
D.Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory. |
F. Most of the language is widely used.
G. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.
