Bu
11、t instead of a race to save humans or animals, a specialized team of Australian firefighters was bent on saving invaluable plant life: hidden groves (树林) of the Wollemi pine, a prehistoric tree species.Wollemi pines peaked in abundance 34 million to 65 million years ago, before a steady decline. Tod
12、ay, only 200 of the trees exist in their natural environment. The trees are so rare that they were thought to die out until 1994. Thats the year when David Noble, an officer with the New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service, came across a grove of large trees he didnt recognize.Noble brou
13、ght back a few branches and showed them to other biologists and botanists. A month later, Noble returned to the grove with some scientists. It was then that they realized what they had found: “a prehistoric tree species that has outlived the dinosaurs.” the American Scientist explains. So when Austr
14、alias wildfires started burning toward Wollemi National Park in recent weeks, firefighters from the parks and wildlife service put a carefully planned operation into action.Large air tankers dropped fire retardant (阻燃剂) around the pines. Firefighters set up an irrigation (灌溉) system around the trees
15、 to keep them wet. “If the fire did go through, we wanted it to be a cool burn as opposed to a hot burn to give them the best chance of survival,” Kean said. The fire did sweep through the groves where these trees have somehow survived for millions of years. For a few days, the smoke was so thick th
16、at it wasnt clear whether the plan had worked. At last the smoke eased off. A few trees had been burned by the flames, and two died. But the efforts had paid off. “Finally,” Kean said, “we were able to get in there and see that, thank goodness, the trees were saved.”20.What do we know about Wollemi

20、he new coronavirus and other highly infectious diseases. The machine has a long robotic arm attached to a base with wheels. It can perform some of the same medical examination tasks as doctors. For example, the device can perform ultrasounds (超声波扫描检查), collect fluid samples from a persons mouth and
21、listen to sounds made by a patients organs. Cameras record the robots activities, which are controlled remotely so doctors can avoid coming in close contact with infected patients. Doctors and other medical workers can operate the machine in another place.The robots main designer Zheng Gangtie, an e
22、ngineer and professor at Chinas Tsinghua University, told Reuters news agency that he got the idea for the device when his medical friend told him that one of the biggest problems in dealing with COVID-19 was that healthcare workers treating patients were getting infected themselves. Zheng said he w
23、anted to do something to help this situation. So the engineer gathered a team and went to work on the robotic device.Zheng said the devices use the same technology that is used for space equipment, including moon explorers. The new robot is almost completely automated. It can even disinfect itself a
24、fter performing actions involving patient contact.However, Zheng said he had heard from some doctors that it would be better not to build such robots to be fully automatic. This is because many patients still desire a personal presence to help calm them during treatment.The team currently has two ro
25、bots and both have been tested by doctors at hospitals in Beijing. One machine was taken to Wuhans Union Hospital, where doctors there got trained to use it. The plan is to use the robot to help treat coronavirus patients, along with assistance from nurses and other hospital workers.Zheng would like
26、 to build more of the robots, but says money from the university has run out. Each robot costs about $72,000 to make. He says he does not plan to commercialize the design, but hopes that a company can begin that process.24.What do we know about the newly-invented robot?A.It is used for space explora
27、tion.B.It completely operates on its own.C.It carries out complicated surgical treatments.D.It protects doctors from risky contact with patients.25.Which of the following may accelerate the development of the machine?A.Assistance of AI.B.Financial support.C.Community help.D.Professional advice.26.Wh
28、at can we infer from the last three paragraphs?A.The device may not be welcomed by all patients.B.The device has been widely used to treat patients.C.Zheng has received further funds from companies.D.Zheng continued the production for official support.27.What is the best title for the passage?A.Prom
29、ising Future for the RobotB.Novel Device to Cure CoronavirusC.New Assistant to Fight CoronavirusD.Helpful Design to Save the PatientsC What is a family? Why does it matter?
