A
If you had the opportunity to live forever, would you take it? Keeping your body alive indefinitely still seems
like an impossibility, but some scientists think that digital technology may have the answer: creating a digital copy
of your “self” and keeping it “alive” online long after your physical body has ceased to function.
In effect, the proposal is to clone a person electronically. Unlike the familiar physical clones — children that
have identical features as their parents, but that are completely separate organisms with a separate life — your
electronic clone would believe itself to be you. How might this be possible? The first step would be to mapthe
brain.
How? One plan relies on the development of nanotechnology (纳米技术). Ray Kurzweil — one of the kings of
artificial intelligence — predicts that within two or three decades we will have nano transmitters that can be put
into the bloodstream. Inthe capillaries (毛细血管) of the brain, they would line up alongside the neurons and
detect the details of the cerebral (大脑的) electronic activity. They would be able to send that information to a
receiver inside a special helmet, so there would be no need for any wires sticking out of the head.
As a further step, Ray Kurzweil also imagines the nano transmitters being able to connect you to a world of
virtual reality on the Internet, similar to what was shown in the film “Matrix”. With the nano transmitters in place,
by thought alone, you could log on to the Internet and instead of the pictures coming up on your screen, they
would play inside your mind. Rather than send your friends e-mails you would agree to meet up on some virtual
tropical beach.
Some peoplebelieve that they can enjoy life after death. But why wait for that when you could have a shot of
nanobots (纳米机器人) and upload your brain onto the Internet and live forever as a virtual surfer?
One snag: to exist on the net you will have to have your neural network parked on the computer of a
web-hosting company. These companies want real money in real bank accounts every year or they will wipe your
bit of the hard disc and sell the space to someone else. With your body six feet underground how will you pay?
1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Nano transmitters can help map the human brain.
B. Electronic clones recreate the original human body. C. Electronic clones may put their physical selves into movies.
D. Nano transmitters use a helmet to detect the cerebral activities.
2. What is the author’s attitude towards electronic clones?
A. Optimistic and careful. B. Interested and unconvinced.
C. Excited and confused. D. Assured and critical.
3. The author asks “how will you pay?” at the end of the article, because ________.
A. you can’t pay to exist on the Internet if you are physically dead
B. you can’t pay for hard disc space if you don’t have a bank account
C. you can’t pay for a special service if too many people want to use it
D.you can’t pay the web-hosting company if you don’t have a neural network

Bill Gates on how to fight future pandemics
WHEN HISTORIANS write the book on the covid-19 pandemic, what we've lived through so far will probably
take up only the first third or so.The bulk of the story will be what happens next.
I believe that humanity will beat this pandemic, but only when most of the population is vaccinated(接种疫苗）.Until then, life will not return to normal.
As the pandemic slows in developed nations,itwill accelerate in developing ones.Their
experience,however,will be worse.In poorer countries,where fewer jobs can be done remotely,distancing
measures won't work as well.The virus will spread quickly,and health systems won't be able to care for the
infected.
Wealthy nations can help.But people in rich and poor places alike will be safe only once we have an effective
medical solution for this virus,which means a vaccine.
My hope is that,by the second half of 2021,facilities around the world will be manufacturing a vaccine.If
that's the case,it will be a history-making achievement: the fastest humankind has ever gone from recognizing a
new disease to immunizing（免疫）against it.
Apart from this progress in vaccines,two other big medical breakthroughs will emerge from the
pandemic.One will be in the field of diagnostics.The next time a novel virus crops up,people will probably be able
to test for it at home.Researchers could have such a test ready within a few months of identifying a new disease.
The third breakthrough will be in antiviral drugs.We haven't been as effective at developing drugs to fight
viruses as we have those to fight bacteria.But that will Researchers will develop large diverse libraries of

In September, something terrible happened on the west coast ofTasmania,Australia. As many as 380 pilot
whales became stranded(搁浅) in shallow water there and later died. This might have beenAustralia’s largest
stranding event on record, the BBC reported.
But this large amount of whale stranding is not uncommon. For centuries, it has happened all over the world
and has puzzled scientists. Scientists say the cause is often unknown. But they have offered many different
explanations.
Some say the whales chase small fish for food and end up in shallow water because they are not paying
attention to where they are going.
Others think the stranding has something to do with Earth’s geomagnetic field (地磁场). They say that a

Mallorca
On the popular Spanish island of Mallorca, farmhouse inns focus more on providing isolation and quietness
than offering hands-on farming experiences. With millions of visitors staying on the beaches of Mallorca and the
other Balearic Islands each summer, a little bit of isolation is a good thing for aloneness-seeking travelers. Mainly

阅读下面的文字，完成各小题。
材料一：
民以食为天，但现在的年轻人或许“以外卖为天”。《2017中国外卖发展研究报告》的统计显示，基于互联网的外卖平台整体月活用户超过8000万。外卖不仅占领了写字楼、办公楼和格子间，接下来还要占领火车。在“铁路12306”app上，提前一小时预订高铁外卖，就不用再吃“火腿肠+方便面”了。外卖风行，有人点赞，有人拍砖，但毫无疑问，外卖成了都市年轻人主流的饮食方式。
中国的传统文化中，饮食是重中之重。历朝历代的“大V”里面，“吃货”一点不罕见。老子说“治大国，若烹小鲜”，孔子说“食不厌精，脍不厌细”，在《吕氏春秋·本味篇》中伊尹则列举了美食的苛刻标准，即“久而不弊，熟而不烂，甘而不哝，酸而不酷，咸而不减，辛而不烈，淡而不薄，肥而不腻”。
在传统饮食文化中，“如何吃”的仪式和流程比“吃什么”还重要。寻常百姓至少要做到孔子说的“食不言，寝不语”，招待客人也要严格按照主客、长幼等有序落座。皇室就更讲究了，清朝标准御膳有120道菜，分为主食、点心、果品等。
吃个饭还这么累，白领们玩不起也玩不转这烦琐的美食套路。外卖，把“如何吃”的繁文缛节全部去掉，直接回归到“吃什么”的本质。从品类来说，外卖的口味相当丰富，不输堂食。其实，有自信的店，才会用外卖宴客。
外卖解放了厨房，解救了主妇。中国女性多年未变的标准，就是“上得了厅堂，下得了厨房”。做饭这件事，成了家庭主妇们强制性的角色使命，也不管主妇们是不是真爱弹奏“锅碗瓢盆交响乐”。但专业的事交给专业人士不是更好吗？再说，从职场来看，女性的压力丝毫不比男性小。晚上加完班回家，与其花一小时做饭、半小时洗碗，倒不如一键点个外卖，半小时内送上门，省事省力省时。外卖还拯救了单身一族。早在2015年，中国单身人口数量就相当于俄罗斯和英国人口的总和，超过了2亿，约占总人口的14%。而美团点评曾在去年透露，平台65%的订单来自单身用户，尤以外卖快餐最受单身用户的欢迎。

No one knows when the first printing press was invented or who invented it. but the oldest known printed
text originated in China during the first millennium (千年) AD.The Diamond Sutra (《金刚经》), a Buddhist book
from Dunhuang, China during the Tang Dynasty, is said to be the oldest known printed book.The Diamond
Sutrawas created with a method known as block printing (雕版印刷), which used boards of hand-carved wood
blocks in reverse.
It was said that the moveable type was developed by Bi Sheng. He was fromYingshan,Hubei,China, living from
970 to 1051 AD. His method replaced panels of printing blocks with moveable individual Chinese characters that
could be reused. The first moveable Chinese Characters were carved into clay and baked into hard blocks that
