Taoyuan-based Gogoro believes you start with a scooter（滑板车）. Proof of conceptIn 2015, Gogoro broke onto the scene by releasin
10、g an electric scooter called the Smart-scooter. Unlike most electric scooters, this one wouldnt need to be plugged in to recharge. Instead, users would stop by GoStations to exchange drained batteries for fully charged ones. Gogoro was taking a risk. If people were not happy with the system of chang
11、ing batteries, the whole project could fail. They didnt need to worry, though. Only one year later Gogoro sold their 10,000th Smart-scooter!Setting the barFast forward to 2019 and the release of the Series 3 Smart-scooter. Gogoro scooters are as popular and revolutionary as ever. Their bright colors
12、 are chosen by Beatrice Santiccioli, a famous color designer who helped shape major brands like Apple, Nike and Swatch. In addition to the scooters bright colors, plenty of cool accessories are available so you can make your scooter your own. But most important of all, Gogoro continues to pave the w

Looking forwardMultiple cities and countries have committed to making their transportation all-electric in the coming years, and Gogoro is helping make it possible. Ordered a package? Companies like DHL and Taiwan Post now have fleets of Smart-sc
14、ooters to make deliveries. Need a ride? Unlock a Gogoro in Berlin, Paris or Madrid, thanks to scooter sharing services. The Smart-scooters is definitely creative, but theres more. At Gogoro, I think the essential thing is that we want to change how people use energy. And the Smart-scooters is only t

18、orld in the future.BSam is a fourth-year student at Harvard Medical School, but poetry is still a big part of his life, now with a new teacher, Rafael Campo, who believes poetry can benefit every doctors education and work. Rafael is a physician, professor and a highly respected poet.“Poetry is in e
19、very encounter (邂逅) with my patients. I think healing is really in a very great way about poetry. And if we do anything when were with our patients, were really immersing (使沉浸于) ourselves in their stories, really hearing their voices. And, certainly, thats what a poem does,” he said.Rafael worries t
20、hat something important has been lost in medicine and medical education today: humanity, which he finds in poetry. To end that, he leads a weekly reading and writing workshop for medical students and residents (住院医生).He thinks medical training focuses too much on distancing the doctor from his or he
21、r patients, and poems can help close that gap.Third-year resident Andrea Schwartz was one of the workshop regulars. She said, “I think theres no other profession other than medicine that produces as many writers as it does. And I think that is because theres just so much power in doctors and patient
22、s interacting when patients are at their saddest.” Not everyone believes thats what doctors should do, though.Rafael said, “I was afraid of how people might judge me, actually. In the medical profession, as many people know, we must always put the emergency first. But, you know, that kind of treatme
23、nt, if its happening in the hospital, very regrettably, sadly, results in a bad outcome. The family is sitting by the bedside. The patient hasnt survived the cancer. Dont we still have a role as healers there?”In a poem titled “Health”, Rafael writes of the wish to live forever in a world made painl

27、be included in emergency treatments.CA butterflys wings can have many jobs besides keeping the insect high up in the air. They may be used to attract mates, or to warn potential attackers to stay away. All of these roles, though, depend on their unchanging colouration. This plays into the idea that
28、butterfly wings are dead tissue, like a birds feathers. In fact, thats not true. For example, in some species males wings have special cells releasing some chemicals which attract females.Nanfang Yu, a physicist at Columbia University, in New York, has been looking into the matter. Together with Nao
29、mi Pierce, a butterfly specialist at Harvard University, he has now shown, in a paper published in Nature Communications in February, 2020, that butterfly wings are, indeed, very much alive.In their experiments, the two researchers used a laser(激光) to heat up spots on the wings of dozens of butterfl
30、y species. When the temperature of the area under the laser reached 40C or so, the insects responded within seconds by doing things that stopped their wings heating up further. These actions included a butterfly turning around to minimize its profile to the laser, moving its wings up and down or sim
31、ply walking away.Butterflies engaged in all of these heat-minimising activities even when the researchers blindfolded them. That suggested the relevant sensors were on the wings themselves. Dr Yu and Dr Pierce therefore searched those wings for likely looking sensory cells. They found some, in the f
32、orm of neurons(神经元) that were similar to heat detectors known from other insects. They also uncovered disc-shaped cells that appeared to be similar to pressure-sensitive neurons. They guess that these are there to detect deformation of the winginformation an insect could use to control its flight pa
33、ttern.The third discovery they made to contradict the “dead wing” idea was that some butterfly wings have a heartbeat. A butterflys wings have veins(静脉). These carry a bloodlike liquid which, researchers have now found in males, shows a pulse(脉搏) of several dozen beats per minute. The source of this
34、 pulse appears to be the scent(气味) pad, a dark spot on the wings that produces the female-attracting chemicals. Apparently, this “wing heart” acts as a pump that helps bloodlike liquid through the scent pad.In all their experiments simulating different environmental conditions, Dr Yu and Dr Pierce c
35、onsistently found that, different parts of the wing are covered by different sorts of scales(鳞屑). In particular, tubes pass through scales over the scent pads. This improves their ability to spread heat away and helps keep the living parts of a butterflys wings alive.28. A birds feathers are mention
36、ed in Paragraph 1 to _.A. introduce the latest research findings on a birdB. highlight the special feature of a birds feathersC. show common knowledge about butterfly wingsD. stress the difference between a butterfly and a bird29. What can we learn from Dr Yu and Dr Pierces experiments?A. Butterfly
37、wings are complicated living organs.B. Butterfly wings have little reaction to external heat.C. The scent pads on some male butterfly wings are their hearts.D. Heat-minimising activities help detect deformation of the wings.30. What is the function of scales over the scent pads?A. Attracting mates.B
38、. Increasing blood flow.C. Covering powerful tubes.D. Producing the cooling effect.31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?ASeeing Is BelievingB. More Than Meets The EyeC. Nothing Seek, Nothing FindD. Fine Feathers Make Fine BirdsDA new device works like a solar panel, exc
39、ept that it doesnt harvest energy from the sun. It absorbs energy from the cold night sky.A prototype (原型) of the device produced enough electricity at night to power a small light bulb. A bigger version might one day light rooms or charge phones. It also could power electronics in remote or low-res
40、ource areas that lack electricity.The device makes use of the temperature difference between Earth and outer space. It then uses that difference to create electricity. As long as one side of it is cooler than the other, the generator can produce electricity. The cooler side faces the sky and is atta
41、ched to an aluminum plate. That plate is sealed beneath a transparent cover and surrounded with insulation (隔热材料) to keep out heat. The bottom of the generator is attached to an exposed aluminum plate. That plate is warmed by the local air. At night, the top plate can get a couple of degrees Celsius
42、 cooler than the bottom of the generator.Researchers tested a 20-centimeter prototype one clear December night in Stanford, California. The generator produced up to about 25 milliwatts of power per square meter of device. That was enough power to light a small light-emitting diode, or LED bulb. Furt
43、her improvements might increase its production to at least 500 milliwatts per square meter. To do that, the system might need more insulation around the cool top plate.The device also could help power remote weather stations or other environmental devices, says Aaswath Raman. He is a materials scien
44、tist who worked on the device at the University of California, Los Angeles. This may be useful in polar regions that dont see sunlight for months at a time, Raman says. “If you have some low-power load and you need to power it through three months of darkness, this might be a way.”32. What can we kn
45、ow about the new device?A. It gains energy from the sun.B. Its been widely used in life.C. It is cooler than a solar panel.D. Itll be popular in special areas.33. What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 3?A. Application fields of the device.B. The developing process of the device.C. The
46、working principle of the device.D. Significant effects of the device.34. How can the device produce more electricity?A. By putting more insulation around the top plate.B. By using it in extremely cold and clear nights.C. By attaching the bottom plate to a warm plate.D. By covering the top plate with
