5、niversity has created the first material that heals itself in the presence of water, according to a study published in Scientific Reports. The material, inspired by squid (鱿鱼)teeth, could be used to repair instruments in water-filled environments that are difficult to access, such as the human body,
6、 or the bottom of the sea. The researchers had been studying squids ring teeth, which are uniquely strong and can change state from liquid to solid in the presence of water. After testing ring teeth samples from several species of squid found all over the world, the researchers uncovered the genetic
7、 code for the proteins (蛋白质)that allow the teeth to heal themselves when broken. They then changed the genetic structure of bacteria to produce the proteins so they could conduct more tests. The researchers then made the proteins into a rubbery plastic by mixing them with a solvent (溶 剂)and letting
8、the solvent change into a gas. The resulting material combines a soft, shapeless part of the protein that gives the plastic its self-healing characteristics and a more structured sheet of amino acids(氨基酸)that give it a solid structure. To test the materials strength, the researchers cut it, and then
9、 put the two pieces back together with a drop of water. They found that the material healed best at 113 degrees Fahrenheit, a little warmer than the temperature of the human body, and with slight pressure from a metal tool. The material was just as strong, and able to hold the same amount of weight,
10、 before and after it was cut. Material that heals itself in the presence of water could expand the usability of biomedical implants (移植). Of course, this material is nowhere near ready for that application, and the researchers didnt test whether the constant presence of water degrades (降低)the plasti

14、l. 【解析】选B。观点态度题。根据文章最后一段可知, 这种材料还远远不能满足该应用的需要, 研究人员也没有测试水的持续存在是否会降低塑料的自愈能力。作者在前文陈述了自愈材料的优点, 在最后一段也指出了缺点, 可见作者是持一个客观的态度来看待的。故选B。4. What is the main idea of the text? A. A kind of self-healing teeth was made from squids ring teeth. B. The genetic code of squids special teeth has been uncovered. C. Sup
