Close neighbors should help each other.CCombining knowledge of chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering, scientists from McGill University develop a biomaterial tough enough to repair the heart, muscles, and vocal cords, representing a major advance in medicine.“People recovering from heart da
27、mage often face a long and tricky journey. Healing is challenging because of the constant movement tissues must withstand(承受) as the heart beats. The same is true for vocal cords. Until now there was no injectable(可注射的) material strong enough for the job,” says Guangyu Bao, a PhD candidate in the De
28、partment of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University.The team, led by Professor Luc Mongeau and Assistant Professor Jianyu Li, developed a new injectable hydrogel(水凝胶) for wound repair, which is a type of biomaterial that provides room for cells to live and grow. Once injected into the body, the
29、biomaterial forms a stable structure allowing live cells to grow or pass through to repair the injured organs.“The results are promising, and we hope that one day the new hydrogel will be used to restore the voice of people with damaged vocal cords,” says Guangyu Bao.The scientists tested the durabi
30、lity of their hydrogel in a machine they developed to copy the extreme biomechanics of human vocal cords. Vibrating(振动) at 120 times a second for over 6 million cycles, the new biomaterial remained undamaged while other standard hydrogels broken into pieces, unable to deal with the stress of the loa
31、d.“We were incredibly excited to see it worked perfectly in our test. Before our work, no injectable hydrogels possessed both high porosity and toughness at the same time. To solve this issue, we introduced a poreforming polymer to our formula(配方),” says Guangyu Bao.The innovation opens new ways of
32、making progress for other applications like tissue engineering. The team is also looking to use the hydrogel technology to create lungs to test COVID19 drugs.()28.

To stress the importance of innovation.C. To promote the sales of a new hydrogel.D. To introduce a newlydeveloped ma
35、terial.DHuman is struggling to contain two major crises: Skyrocketing global temperatures and deepdiving biodiversity(生物多样性). But people tend to solve each problem on its own, for instance by using green energies and carboneating machines, while surrounding ecosystems to preserve them. But a new rep
36、ort argues that treating each crisis in isolation(孤立地) means missing out on solutions that resolve both. Human cant solve one without also solving the other.So what might these solutions look like? Say, for instance, you turn a heavily logged forest into a national park. As the trees grow back, they
37、 would provide habitat for the return of animals. Letting a forest come back naturally, rather than planting a single species of tree to balance up some corporations carbon emissions(排放), makes it recover faster. This is known as a naturebased solution, a campaign that both absorb carbon and provide
38、s an extra ecological or economic benefit. Stopping humans attacks on ecosystems can also help fight climate change, the studys authors write. Even cities can get in on the action, the report notes. Urban areas turn into “heat islands” because they absorb the suns energy during the day and slowly re
39、lease it at night. They are therefore much hotter than surrounding rural areas. Planting more trees cools cities and provides habitats for birds and shade for humans, which will be even more critical as global temperatures rise.The big threat, the authors stress, is that naturebased solutions alone
40、cant stop climate change. As temperatures climb and droughts get more severe, itll be harder for forests, wetlands, and mangroves to survive, even with our help. First and foremost, human has to dramatically reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. “Nature is not going to save us,” the authors say. “We
41、can only use nature to support efforts.”“Still, governments and corporations are becoming more conscious of the importance of maintaining biodiversity while also fighting climate change,” says BeymerFarris, from the University of Kentucky. “I myself, as a professor who has been working in this for 2
42、0 years, I see a lot of hope, because I see a lot of change on the horizon.”()32. How should people deal with the two crises?A. By using carboneating machines. B. By giving priority to one of them.C. By tackling them in the meanwhile. D. By establishing more nature reserves.()33. What is the most ef
43、fective way to stop climate change according to the author?A. Plant more trees in urban areas. B. Adopt naturebased solutions.C. Send out less greenhouse gas. D. Provide habitats for animals.()34. What is BeymerFarriss attitude to the future of the ecology?A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D.
44、 Concerned.()35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. Why we care about climate changeB. How to live in harmony with natureC. Why urban areas become “heat islands”D.
