Making beers on the moon might seem like a pipe dream to many, but for a group of students from the University of California at San Diego, there is a chance to take their research beyond Earth’s surface.

The Lab2Moon competition, held by TeamIndus, is offering students the chance to secure a spot on the TeamIndus rocket this year.

Taking craft beer to the next level, the students want to test whether it’s possible for yeast(酵母) to work and create beer on the moon. However, they believe the experiment is not just a creative concept for astronauts, it’s also important for the development of drugs and yeast-containing food, like bread.

“The idea started out with a few laughs among a group of friends,” said Neeki Ashari, a fifth-year bioengineering students at UC San Diego. “We all appreciate the craft beer. When we heard that there was an opportunity to design an experiment that would go up on India’s moonlander, w e thought we could combine our hobby with the competition by focusing on the practicality of yeast in outer space.”

The preparation work for the beer — up to the stage of adding yeast — will all be done on Earth, and rather than separating the fermentation ( 发酵) and carbonation stage of making beer, the team plans to combine them.

This removes the need to release CO2 accumulated in the process, which may result in cleanliness and safety issues out in space.

If selected, Team Original Gravity will be the first to make beer in outer space, and the fermentation will take place in a container no bigger than a soda can.

All teams competing for the place will showcase their ideas in Bangalore, India, in March.

Sadly, you won’t be enjoying moon beer in your local craft beer bar anytime soon, as no samples will be brought back. However, this small experiment could provide important data on just how practical it is for us to make and create our own resources on other planets and moons by learning how consumables (消耗品) behave in different environments.

1.How did the students feel when they got the chance to design the experiment ?

A.Excited. B.Nervous.

C.Confident. D.Casual.

2.What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 6 refer to?

A.The mixing of two stages. B.Adding yeast on Earth.

C.The preparation work on Earth. D.Fermentation and carbonation.

3.What can we learn about the experiment from the passage?

A.It has been designed based on similar experiments.

B.It’s quite competitive compared with other designs.

C.It’s design has already been approved by TeamIndus.

D.Its process was adapted to make it safer and greener.

4.What does the author think of the students ’ idea?

A.It seems like a pipe dream. B.It’s extremely complicated.

C.It’s meaningful and hopeful. D.It’s creative but impractical.

Atoms are all around us. They are the bricks of which everything is made. Many millions of atoms are contained in just one-grain of salt, but despite (尽管) their small size they are very important. The way an everyday object behaves depends on what kinds of atoms are in it and how they act. For example, you know that most solid objects melt if they got hot enough. Why is this? It is the effect of the heat on the object's atoms. All atoms move constantly. When they are hot, they move faster. Usually the atoms in an object hold together and give the object its shape. But if the object grows hot, its atoms move so fast that they break the force that usually holds them together. They move out of their usual places so that the object loses its shape. Then we say that the object is melting.

69. The way an object behaves depends on the _____ .

A. action of atoms in it                      B. number of atoms in it

C. kinds of atoms in it and how they behave    D. size of atoms in it

70. Atoms in an object move _____ .

A. at all times                              B. only when the object is heated

C. whenever they grow hot                    D. unless the object is melted

71. An object holds its shape because its atoms _____ .

A. usually hold together                          B. move fast

C. are hot                                                     D. are not moving

Medicine comes in lots of different packages. Painkillers in a tablet can make your headache go away. Antibiotic cream (抗菌素膏) from a tube can prevent your cuts from becoming infected. But can medicine come packaged in chicken eggs?

A team of scientists from Scotland say “yes”. They’ve engineered special chickens that lay eggs with disease-treating drugs inside.

These eggs come from chickens that have been engineered to produce certain drugs inside their egg whites.

These drugs are made of molecules called proteins(蛋白质). Animals make thousands of proteins — they’re the main element in skin, hair, milk and meat. Since animals can make proteins easily, they’re good candidates (候选者) for making protein drugs.

Researchers have already made cows, sheep and goats produce protein drugs in their milk. But chickens are cheaper to take care of, need less room, and grow faster than these other animals. Those qualities could make chickens a better choice to become living drug factories, says Simon Lillico of the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, Scotland.

Lillico and a team of researchers changed chickens’ DNA — the code that tells cells how to make proteins — so that the birds’ cells made two protein drugs. One drug can treat skin cancer, and the other treats a nerve disease called multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化).

The scientists changed the chickens’ DNA so that the birds made these drugs only in their egg whites. This protects the chickens’ bodies from the drugs’ possible harmful effects and makes it easy for scientists to collect the drugs.

1.If you cut your finger, you may use ________ to cure it.

A. painkillers in a tablet             B. antibiotic cream from a tube

C. chicken eggs                                 D. protein drugs

2.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Scientists from Scotland have succeeded in packing medicine into chicken eggs.

B. The drugs are made of molecules called proteins.

C. Scientists chose chickens for their experiments because chicken eggs taste delicious.

D. The animals are good candidates for making protein drugs.

3.The drugs in special chicken eggs can ________.

A. treat lung cancer                              B. help reduce headache

C. change people’s DNA                  D. treat multiple sclerosis

4.We can infer from the passage that ________.

A. eating eggs is the best choice for the patients now

B. scientists changed the chicken’s DNA and put all the drugs in chicken eggs

C. we may eat special eggs as drugs when we are sick in the future

D. the drugs produce harmful effects on the chicken’s bodies

5.The best title for the passage is ________.

A. Chicken Eggs to Replace Medicine  B. Chicken Eggs as Drug

C. Chicken Eggs and Medicine         D. Chicken Eggs and Animal Milk
