17、dams to raise water levels for protection from enemies. Dams also slow waters flow while blocking sediment(沉积物)that would otherwise flow downstream. The resulting wetlands often attract wildlife diversity where none had existed. There are challenges, though. Beaver dams sometimes cause flooding, and
18、 most people prefer trees alive and upright.Communities face a delicate balancing act, learning to coexist with beavers. Last winter, many people enjoying Winston Path became beaver fans as one furry family transformed Swallow Pond into an oasis for birds, frogs, turtles and deer.Yet such activity c

But county officials were concerned about how higher water would affect the soil bank supporting Winston Path.To find a good balance between pro
20、tecting the path and the beavers, the county introduced a“ beaver baffle” a pond leveler.Beavers often rush to fill holes in their dams.Baffles stabilize water levels by creating a hidden exit for high water to escape through the dam, unnoticed by the beavers.People love the beavers but they also lo
21、ve the mature trees. Recently, Catherine Jones,18, organized a tree-caging event putting wire cloth around large tree trunks to discourage beavers from biting them.

D.Preservation of wildlife habitat.DSome bacteria(细菌)have a superpower that scientists would love to use. These bacteria gain energy from light, just as plants do.S
26、cientists have wanted to use cyanobacteria(蓝藻菌)to make electricity. But in previous research, they didnt survive long on artificial surfaces. Researchers have now moved them to a living surface a mushroom. Their creation is the first mushroom to make electricity.Applied Physicist Simon Jackson and h
27、is team turned that mushroom into a mini energy farm. This bionic(生物电子的)mushroom combines 3D printing, conductive ink and bacteria to generate electricity. Its design could lead to new ways of combining nature with electronics.Like plants, cyanobacteria make their own food from sunlight, releasing e
28、lectrons(电子). When enough electrons build up in one place, they can create an electric current.The researchers needed to bring a lot of these bacteria together. They decided to use 3D printing to place them precisely onto a surface.Jacksons team chose mushrooms for that surface. After all, they real
29、ized, mushrooms naturally host communities of bacteria and other microbes. Finding test subjects for their tests was easy. Jackson simply went to the grocery store and picked up white button mushrooms.Printing on those mushrooms, though, turned out to be a real challenge. 3D printers have been desig
30、ned to print on flat surfaces, but mushroom caps are curved. The researchers spent months writing computer code to solve the problem. Eventually, they came up with a program to 3D print their ink onto the curved mushroom tops.The researchers printed two“inks”onto their mushrooms. One was a green ink
31、 made of cyanobacteria. They used this to make a spiral pattern on the cap. They also.used a black ink made of graphene, which is great at conducting electricity. They printed this ink in a branching pattern across the mushroom top.Then it was time to shine.“Cyanobacteria are the real heroes here,”s
32、ays Jackson. When his team shone light on the mushrooms, the bacteria gave out electrons. Those electrons flowed into the graphene and created an electric current.32.What was the problem in previous research?A. Cyanobacteria didnt produce electrons.B.Cyanobacteria couldnt get enough light.C.The rese
33、archers chose the wrong bacteria.D.No suitable home was made for cyanobacteria.33. Why were mushrooms finally chosen as test subjects?A.They are convenient to find.B.They can produce electric currents.C.They are where bacteria can naturally grow.D.They can be easily combined with 3D printing.34. Wha
34、t is the major function of the black ink in this test?A.To feed bacteria.B.To deliver electrons.C.To produce electricity.D.To reshape mushroom tops.35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.Who are the real heroes?B. New application of 3D printingC.Nature combined with electronsD

One came out of a super-market box, probably harvested unripe.

The first one will probably taste like a slightly sour grape while the second is likely to be sweet and rich in flavour.Supermarket strawberries are not entirely without advantages. They are convenient and available in the northern gl
37、obe even in February. But the two berries differ from each other in the same way that hearing Beethovens Moonlight Sonata in a concert hall differs from listening to it on an old tape. 37 Other people, however, believe gardening a waste of time. But the same could be said ofcooking. There are cheap
38、and decent restaurants around, so why bother to make your own meals? 38 They mistake the product for the purpose.Actually, a garden, especially in the early years, can produce little but frustration(挫败感). New gardeners may plant the wrong crops for their soil. Rabbits have an annoying habit of takin
39、g single bites of vegetable, then leaving the rest to go bad. 39 No matter. The real joy of gardening is the time spent doing it. The deepest pleasure as with cooking, writing, bringing up children or almost anything worthwhile is in the work itself.A gardeners memories revolve not around the food p
40、roduced, but around long afternoons with hands in the dirt. 40 A.No one can ever avoid this hard stage.B.So why dont we start home gardening for delicious food?C.This might explain why many people desire a home garden.D.These people misunderstand the ultimate appeal of gardening.E.By the time it rea
