1、 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。
Are your teenagers getting enough sleep? It's the key to exam success. If they sleep well, they will be more likely to perform better. Here are some practical ways you can help them.
Parents should avoid falling asleep on the sofa in the evenings or using tech devices when it's late. Commit to your own bedtime routine so that your teenager can be your follower.
Work out exactly how much sleep they need. Teenagers should aim for between eight and ten hours' sleep a night, according to the World Health Organisation.Maybe it's eight, or maybe it's nine. But those who get less than seven hours most nights are not getting enough.
Establish a wind-down (放松) routine. Once they know how much sleep they're aiming for, help them to achieve this by negotiating a 30 to 60-minute wind-down routine before they go to bed, at the same time every night.
Let them have a weekend lie-in. Enable your children to get up as late as they can, sparing them the morning chores.Troubling teenagers out of bed at weekends works against their sleep pattern.
They will reward you more.
A. Lead by example.
B. Let your teenagers have more sleep.
C. Half an hour of exercise can excite their body.
D. But the exact amount of sleep your teenager needs is unique.
E. Getting up late occasionally will improve their work efficiency.
F. On study-leave days an extra hour in bed will help them concentrate better.
G. A bath will bring the body temperature down a degree which is ideal for sleep.

Science is a process that builds upon existing theories and knowledge by continuously revising them. Every aspect of scientific knowledge can be questioned, including the general rules of thinking that appear to be most certain. So why is science trustworthy if it is always changing? If tomorrow we will no longer see the world as Newton or Einstein found it to be, why should we take seriously today's scientific description of the world?
The answer is simple: Because at any given moment of our history, this description of the world is the best we have. The fact that it can be made better can't diminish (降低) the fact that it is a useful instrument for understanding the world.
Consider a folk healer's herbal medicine. Can we say this treatment is "scientific"? Yes, if it is proven to be effective, even if we have no idea why it works. In fact, quite a few common medications used today have their origin in folk treatments, and we are still not sure how they work. This does not imply that folk treatments are generally effective. To the contrary, many of them are not. What distinguishes scientific medicine is the readiness to seriously test a treatment and to be ready to change our minds if something is shown not to work. A research doctor in a modern hospital must be ready to change his theory if a more effective way of understanding illness, or treating it, becomes available.
What makes modern science uniquely powerful is its refusal to believe that it already possesses ultimate truth. The reliability of science is based not on certainty but on a complete absence of certainty. As John Stuart Mill wrote in "On Liberty" in 1859, "The beliefs which we have most warrant (依据) for, have no safeguard to rest on, but a standing invitation to the whole world to prove them unfounded. "
(1)、Why does the author raise the two questions in paragraph 1?A、To add some fun. B、To express doubts. C、To introduce the topic. D、To provide background.(2)、What can we learn about today's scientific description of the world?A、It can be timeless. B、It can be improved. C、It is of little value. D、It is the best at any moment.(3)、What is the author's attitude toward folk treatment?A、Dismissive. B、Objective. C、Pessimistic. D、Sympathetic.(4)、What is the main idea of paragraph 4?A、It is unwise to believe in science. B、Too much uncertainty lies in science. C、The foundation of science is unfounded. D、The lack of certainty makes science credible. -

Desperately ill and seeking a miracle, David Bennett Sr. took the last bet on Jan. 7. when be became the first human to be successfully transplanted with the heart of a pig. "It creates the beat; it creates the pressure; it is his heart, " declared Bartley Griffith, director of the surgical team that performed the operation at the University of Maryland Medical Center.
Bennett, 57, held on through 60 tomorrows, far longer than any previous patient who'd received a heart from another species. His remarkable run offered new hope that such procedures, known as xenotransplantation(异 种移植), could help relieve the shortage of replacement organs, saving thousands of lives each year.
The earliest attempts at xenotransplantation of organs, involving kidneys from rabbits, goats, and other animals, occurred in the early 20th century, decades before the first successful human-to-human transplants. Rejection, which occurs when the recipient's body system recognizes the donor organ as a foreign object and attacks it, followed within hours or days. Results improved after some special drugs arrived in the 1960s, but most recipients still died after a few weeks. The record for a heart xenotransplant was set in 1983, when an infant named Baby Fae survived for 20 days with an organ from a baboon(狒狒).
In recent years, however, advances in gene editing have opened a new possibility: re-edit some genes in animals to provide user-friendly spare parts. Pigs could be ideal for this purpose, because they're easy to raise and reach adult human size in months. Some biotech companies. including Revivicor, are investing heavily in the field. The donor pig was offered by Revivicor from a line of animals in which 10 genes had been re-edited to improve the heart's condition. Beyond that, the pig was raised in isolation and tested regularly for viruses that could infect humans or damage the organ itself.
This medical breakthrough provided an alternative for the 20% of patients on the heart transplant waiting list who die while waiting or become too sick to be a good candidate.
(1)、What does the underlined word "run" in paragraph 2 refer to?A、Donating his heart to a patient. B、Performing the heart operation. C、Living for 60 days after the operation. D、Receiving a new heart from a pig.(2)、Which aspect of xenotransplantation does paragraph 3 mainly focus on?A、Its history. B、Its procedure. C、Its consequence. D、Its significance.(3)、What makes pigs ideal for providing spare parts in xenotransplantation?A、Their growth rate and health condition. B、Their life pattern and resistance to viruses. C、Their easiness of keeping and rapid growth. D、Their investment value and natural qualities.(4)、Why was Bennett's operation regarded as a breakthrough?A、It introduced new medications to prevent organ rejection. B、It proved the potential for using organs from various animals. C、It guaranteed a sufficient supply of donor pigs for transplants. D、It offered a prospect of replacement organs through gene editing. -

The rose is a symbol of love in popular culture, but now the flower could hold more than just symbolic value. A new device(装置) for collecting and purifying water, developed at The University of Texas at Austin,was inspired by a rose and is a great improvement on present methods. Each flower-like structure(构造) costs less than 2 cents and can produce more than half a gallon of water per hour per square meter.
A team led by professor Donglei Fan developed a new approach to solar steaming for water production-a technique that uses energy from sunlight to separate salt and other impurities from water.
In a paper published recently, the authors outline how a rose provided the inspiration for developing a new kind of solar-steaming system made from layered, black paper sheets shaped into petals(花瓣). Attached to a stem-like tube that collects untreated water from any water, the 3D rose shape makes it easier for the structure to collect and hold more liquid.
"We were searching for more effective ways to apply the solar-steaming technique for water production by using black filteredc过滤) paper coated with a special type of polymer(聚合物)," Fan said. She and her team experimented with different ways to shape the paper to see what was best. They began by placing single, round layers of the coated paper flat on the ground under direct sunlight. After toying with a few shapes, Fan was inspired by a book she read in high school. It gave her the idea to try using a flower-like shape, and she discovered the rose to be perfect.
The device collects water through its stem-like tube-feeding it to the flower-shaped structure on top. It can also collect rain drops coming from above. Water finds its way to the petals where the polypyrrole material coating the flower turns the water into steam. Impurities naturally separate from water.
(1)、Which of the following words can best describe the new device?A、Cheap and useful. B、Modern but costly. C、Slow and expensive. D、Unique but impractical.(2)、What makes it easier for the new device to collect and hold more liquid?A、Its large size. B、Its special shape. C、Its unusual depth. D、Its unique material.(3)、Where does Fan's inspiration for the new device come from?A、Her experience. B、A toy. C、A schoolteacher. D、A book.(4)、What can be a suitable title for the text?A、New Devices Help Purify Water in a Natural Way B、Believe It or Not, Roses Can Be Used to Purify Water C、A Rose Inspires a Smart Way to Collect and Purify Water D、A Rose-shaped Water Purification Device Becomes Popular
