10、. When she got the note about the Smith family,she sent a wind chime(风铃)with the message“Listen to the wind and know that I am near”written on it. It now hangs in the four-year-olds bedroom, where his older brother can go to listen to it whenever he wants.This is not the first time that Della has de

17、mes to live in and 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
18、cause flooding, and 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.
19、Yet such activity caused concern. As beavers worked, they raised water levels about five feet. The increased depth allows beavers to survive underwater if the pond ices over. But county officials were concerned about how higher water would affect the soil bank supporting Winston Path.To find a good
20、balance between protecting 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 beaver
21、s but they also love 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. It also protects people from injury due to random trees falling.“We cover the trees we dont want them to eat, while p
22、lanting periodically others they like,“said Jones.“We need-to learn to give up a little of our wants to share the Earths resources.”Swallow Ponds 2023 project will restore proper water depth and improve wildlife habitat without creating problems for the path.

Preservation of wildlife habitat.DSome bacteria(细菌)have a superpower that scientists would love to use. These bacteria gain energy from
26、light, just as plants do.Scientists 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 Phy
27、sicist Simon Jackson and his 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
28、from sunlight, releasing electrons(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 sur
29、face. After all, they realized, 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. 3
30、D printers have been designed 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 mush
31、rooms. One was a green ink 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 a
32、re the real heroes here,”says 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.12. What was the problem in previous research?A. Cyanobacteria didnt produce electrons.B. Cyanobacteria couldnt
33、 get enough light.C. The researchers chose the wrong bacteria.D. No suitable home was made for cyanobacteria.13. 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
34、combined with 3D printing.14. What 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.15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. Who are the real heroes?B. New application of 3D pri

36、market box, probably harvested unripe. _16_The other was picked from a garden minutes before being eaten. 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 con
37、venient and available in the northern globe 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._17_Other people, however, believe gardening a waste of time. But the same c
38、ould be said of cooking. There are cheap and decent restaurants around, so why bother to make your own meals? _18_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 soi
