16、Jennifer. Age has taken its tax on her bone structure, so we need to replace her hip with a new one made out of ceramics and metal. Ive described the program to your aunt, and now she must decide if she wants to undergo surgery(接受手术).”Jennifer was unsettled by Dr. Kramers advice. However, her mind w

17、as set at ease when she heard her aunt say, “A ceramic hip is no big deal, Jennifer! Why, there are people whove lost arms and legs and now have artificial(人造的)limbs(肢)that work nearly as well as the natural ones. There are artificial hearts for people whose hearts have failed to work properly. All

18、these advances offer new life for folks like me.”“Aunt Nancy, you sound like a medical advertisement,” Jennifer interrupted. “From now on, Ill call you my robot-aunt!” “I like that!” “Aunt Nancy said,”Never doubt that your robot-aunt would prefer having a natural hip, but if it s a choice between a

23、s of money for farmers. However, in Nigeria, one man is working to change this.Mohammed Bah Abba, a teacher, invented a cooling device using two round containers made of clay. Mr. Abba s invention is called a Pot-in-Pot Preservation Cooling System. A small spot is placed inside a larger one. The spa

24、ce between the two pots is filled with wet sand. The inner pot can be filled with fruit, vegetables of drinks. A wet cloth covers the whole cooling system. The device keeps some foods fresh for several weeks.Food stored in the small pot is kept from spoiling through a simple evaporation process(过程).

25、 Water in the sand between the two pots evaporates through the surface of the larger potwhere drier outside air is moving. The evaporation process causes a drop in temperature of several degrees. This cools the inner container and helps destroy harmful bacteria found in food.Mr. Abba started produci

26、ng his cooling device in 1997. Since then, he has given more than 20,000 devices to people in villages in Nigeria. He expects that within five years, people all over the country will be using his invention. Mr. Abba also hopes to export his Pot-in-Pot cooling system to other hot, dry nations facing

27、similar problems.The Rolex Watch Company of Switzerland has also recognized the value of this cooling system. Two years ago, Mr. Abba received the Rolex Award(奖赏)for Enterprise.

32、trong (19001971 ), an African-American musician, is one of the most important figures in the history of jazz. In the 1920s, this trumpeter, singer and bandleader began exploring the boundaries(分界)of jazz technique and style. Masters of jazz today admit their debt to this pioneer.Armstrong s gift was

33、 obvious from the start of his career. His earliest recordings first with a band led by his former teacher, Joe“ King” Oliver, and then with his own band earned Armstrong international fame for technical originality(独创性). He freed his playing from the ordinary rhythms of early jazz by creating music

34、al phrases that seemed to oppose the pulse of a song, only to combine them in the place later. His deep and rough voice became as special as his comet(短号)playing, especially in his scat performances. Scat is a singing style in which meaningless syllables(音节)are repeated without preparation. Armstron

35、gs scat was among the earliest ever recorded.By 1930,Armstrong had turned to more commercial, less experimental jazz. Some musicians criticized(批评)him for this.

36、is music.In the following years, Armstrong traveled around the world as the leading“goodwill ambassador(大使) ”of American jazz music.

40、zz.DThe oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet. There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the tr

41、ue pyramids. The most famous of these are the“Step” pyramid and the“ Bent” pyramid.Some of the pyramids still look as much alike as they must have been when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or

42、, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to keep the pyramids in good condition, and their very shape has made them less likely to fall into ruin. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were

43、planned to last forever.The “Step”pyramid had to be on the west side of the Nile, the side on which the sun set. This was for spiritual reasons. It also had to stand well above the level of the river to protect it against the regular floods. It could not be too far from the Nile, however, as the sto

44、nes to build it needed to be carried in boats down the river to the nearest point. Water transport was, of course, much easier than land transport. The builders also had to find a rock base, which was not likely to crack under the great weight of the pyramid. Finally, it had to be near the capital,

45、or better still, near the king s palace so that he could visit it easily to personally check the progress being made on the final resting place for his body.8. According to the passage, the“Step”pyramid_.A. is unlikely to fall into ruin in the near future B. was built on the sands along the NileC. i

46、s one that was built later than the true pyramids D. is the most famous of the true pyramids69.
