can be released at just the right spot. there are lots of ways to trigger (引发) this release，including changing temperature, acidity, and so on. but triggers can come with their own risksburns, for example. now, researchers in california have designed what could be a harmless trigger to date: shining nearinfrared light (nir, 近红外线) on the drug in the capsule.the idea of using light to liberate the drug in the capsule isnt new. researchers around the globe have developed polymers (聚合物) and other materials that begin to break down when they absorb either ultraviolet (uv, 紫外线) or visible light. but tissues also readily absorb uv and visible light, which means the drug release can be triggered only near the skin, where the light can reach the capsule. nir light largely passes through tissues, so researchers have tried to use it as a trigger. but few compounds (化合物) absorb nir well and go through chemical changes. that changed last year when adah almutairi, a chemist at the university of california, san diego, reported that she and her colleagues had designed a polymer that breaks down when it absorbs nir light. their polymer used a commercially available nirabsorbing group called onitrobenzyl (onb). when they catch the light, onb groups fall off the polymer, leading to its breakdown. but onb is only a soso nir absorber, and it could be poisonous to cells when it separates from the polymer.so almutairi and her colleagues reported creating a new material for capsules thats even better. this one consists of a long chain of compounds called cresol groups linked in a polymer. cresol contains reactive (易反应的) components that make it highly unstable in its polymeric form, a feature almutairi and her colleagues use to their advantage. after polymerizing the cresols, they cap each reactive component with a lightabsorbing compound called bhc. when the bhcs absorb nir light, the reactive groups are exposed and break the long polymer into two short chains. shining additional light continues this breakdown, potentially releasing any drugs in the capsule. whats more, almutairi says, bhc is 10 times better at absorbing nir than is onb and is not poisonous to cells.63. according to the passage, which of the following could be the best trigger?a. temperature change. b. nir light. c. acidity change. d. uv light.64. why is onb unsatisfactory?a. it breaks down when it absorbs nir light.b. it falls off the polymer and triggers drug release.c. it has not come onto the market up till now.d. it is not effective enough and could be poisonous.65. which word can be used to complete the following process of changes?a. protected b. formed c. exposed d. combined【要点综述】这是一篇科技文。怎样使用胶囊？如何让吃药更加安全、疗效更好？文章对此做了介绍。63. b信息理解题。根据第一段最后一句“now, researchers in california have designed what could be a harmless trigger to date: shining nearinfrared light (nir，近红外线) on the drug in the capsule.”可知答案。64. d推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句“onb groups fall off the polymer, leading to its breakdown.”和“and it could be poisonous to cells”可知答案。65. c信息理解题。根据最后一段第五句“when the bhcs absorb nir light, the reactive groups are exposed and break the long polymer into two short chains.”可知此处用exposed，即c项正确。c8 科普知识类 （一）2012长沙市雅礼中学第四次月考 a funny thing happened on the way to the communications revolution: we stopped talking to one another.i was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation.there we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day andi became invisible, absent from the conversation.the telephone used to connect you to the absent.now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent.why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected i feel? every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction.with email and instant messaging over the internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another.with voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone.if my mom has a question, i just leave the answer on her machine.as almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated, the alienation(疏远) index goes up. you cant even call a person to get the phone number of another person anymore.directory assistance is almost always fully automated.i am not against modern technology.i own a cell phone, an atm card, a voicemail system, and an email account.giving them up isnt wise, theyre a great help to us.its some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy.more and more, i find myself hiding behind email to do a job meant for conversation, or being relieved that voice mail picked up because i didn t really have time to talk.the industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier, or at least facilitating my antisocial instincts.so ive put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging with people who live near me, no cellphoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when im at home.16which of the following would be the best title of the passage? a.the advance of communications technologyb.the consequences of modern technology c.the story of the communications revolutiond.the automation of modern communications 17the sentence “now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent” means that _. athe people sitting beside you have to go away to receive phone call byou can hardly get in touch with the people sitting beside you cmodern technology makes it hard for people to have a facetoface talk dpeople can now go to work without going to the office18the writer feels that the use of modern communications is _. asatisfyingbencouraging cdisappointing dembarrassing19the passage implies that _. amodern technology is bridging people bmodern technology is separating people cmodern technology is developing too fast dmodern technology is interrupting our communication20what does the underlined word “facilitating” mean?a加深 b限制c帮助 d装备【要点综述】 本文主要论述现代技术的消极影响现代技术的使用在疏远人与人之间的距离。 16. b主旨大意题。本文主要论述了现代技的影响。17. c句意理解题。第一段作者提出：通讯革命使我们不再面对面地交谈；第二段作者举自己生活的一例来予以说明； 第三段作者感慨“now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent”，即其意应为：现在技术使人们很难有面对面的交谈。故选c项。18. d推理判断题。根据第五段可知，作者并不反对现代技术，也认为它极有帮助，只是某一些结果让他感到不安，比如第二段中他所举的生活例子。由此判断他会认为使用现代技术有时令人感到尴尬，故选d项。19. b推理判断题。根据第四段可推断现代技术正在疏远人们之间的关系，故选b项。20. a词义猜测题。画线词所在的这一段主要在讲述现代技术对他的消极影响，因此他才决定限制自己对现代技术的使用。由此判断画线词应意为“加深”，即：加重他的不爱交际的天性。故选a项。c42013湖南卷 aplanning a visit to the uk? here we help with ways to cut your costs.avoid big eventsbig sporting
