In the past, if a person wanted to see the national treasures of a country, one had to go there in person．Therefore, very few people were able to enjoy some of history’s most important and interesting artifacts (手工艺品)．This has changed with an increase in the number of traveling museum exhibitions．

King Tutankhamen Artifacts

A traveling exhibition of artifacts from the tomb of King Tutankhamen, popularly known as “King Tut”, toured the United States from November 1976 to April 1979．The 55 objects were shown in six cities and were seen by around eight million museum-goers．The second touring exhibit was started in 2007, this s antime with 130 artifactd stops in London and three different American cities．However some objects, like the king’s golden face mask, are too valuable or too delicate to be transported long distances, so “replicas” (exact copies of something) are on show．

Japanese Color Woodblock Prints

The Art Museum at University of Virginia, in Charlottesville, Virginia, has an extraordinary collection of Japanese color woodblock prints (木刻版画)．These prints document the period from about 1850 to 1900, a time when Japan was opening itself to Western influences．Before this point, Japan was a closed society that had little communication with the world outside of its borders．These works of art beautifully show the feeling of change and the trend toward modernization．The museum has put together a traveling exhibition of 60 of these prints, which can be borrowed and exhibited worldwide for periods of eight weeks or more．

Face-to-face with “Lucy”

One of the world’s most famous archaeological (考古学的) finds in history are the 3．2 million-year-old bones of a 106-centimeter-tall female found in the Ethiopian desert in 1974．Lucy, a name given to her by the discovery team, is a “hominid”, or a creature that scientists believe is the earliest ancestor of modern human beings．Rarely is an artifact this valuable allowed to travel widely, but Lucy has been taken to several museums in the U．S．while a detailed replica remains at the Ethiopian Natural History Museum．

1.What do we learn about King Tutankhamen’s artifacts?

A． The artifacts were shown in London first．

B． The artifacts were on show in the United States once．

If we want to find out what kind of technology people used in the past, we normally have to rely on archaeologists to find ruined buildings and parts of tools or instruments or machines. Archaeologists then try to reconstruct, sometimes with the help of computer technology, what these ancient buildings and objects must have looked like, and how they might have been made. Sometimes historians are lucky and find an ancient document with a written description of these ancient buildings and objects.

We can understand, then, why Chinese historians were so excited when they found cave paintings which show ancient science. They found these paintings in the world-renowned Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang City, in Northwest China's Gansu Province. There are 500 man-made caves and they have survived for at least 1,600 years. Almost all of these caves have paintings on their ceilings or walls and they date from the 4th to 14th centuries. Wang Jinyu is an expert on these cave paintings (also called frescoes) and he says: “We discovered frescoes containing scientific and technological content in almost all of the caves which have frescoes.” What is remarkable about these cave paintings according to the Xinhua News Agency is that they provide evidence of "scientific and technological inventions by ancient Chinese in maths, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, agronomy, architecture, textiles, traffic and transportation, arms and military equipment and medical sciences".

Among the discoveries experts have made are cave paintings showing ancient techniques of pottery making and wine production and paintings showing ancient weaving machines and then toothbrushes! The paintings also give some evidence of the lifestyle at the time with, for example, pictures of people boiling milk over 1,000 years ago. Experts believe that there is more evidence to be found, but even now the caves are a wonderful natural museum. If the walls and ceilings of the caves were all put together they would form a tapestry 20 kilometers long and 2 meters high!

It won't be possible to travel back in time-that only happens in films-but visiting these caves would be the nearest experience you could get to travelling back in time.

1.Why were Chinese historians excited when they found cave paintings showing ancient science?

A. Because they had rarely seen cave paintings.

B. Because they could make the place a tourist attraction.

C. Because they could learn about ancient science through them.

D. Because they would be given lots of money for the discovery.

2.The Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang City______.

A. have 500 man-made caves

B. have been there for at most 1,600 years

C. help us to know little about ancient science

D. have paintings on their ceilings in every cave

3.Experts had discovered cave paintings showing the ancient techniques of ______.

A. pottery making and wine production

B. weaving machines and toothbrushes

C. boiling milk over 1,000 years ago

D. architecture and weaving

4.The article is more likely to be selected from the magazine ______.

A. Modern Countries B. Business World

C. Network World D. Popular Science

If you see a person carelessly throw a cigarette to the ground, what are you likely to think?

If you hate people throwing things on the ground, you might think, “That person shouldn’t litter.” If you are a smoker, you might think, “I would sure like a cigarette right now.”

Most likely, though, you are not thinking, “That unused cigarette butt could be used to make something amazing!”

That is, unless you are a creative scientist. If you are, you may see potential—a possibility—where others simply see trash（垃圾）. That is just what has happened in South Korea.

The spirit of invention can hit at the strangest times and in the most unusual places. In South Korea, it happened near a trash can.

Kin Gil-Pyo is with　 the Seoul National University. He says he saw people　 throwing away cigarette butts, which got him thinking. He began wondering if something useful could be made from them.

He and other researchers found a way to convert cigarette butts into materials required for high-performance batteries.

Kim Gil-Pyo says they looked closely at used cigarette filters（滤嘴）, the parts of cigarettes smokers put into their mouths. Filters are made of a material called “cellulose acetate（醋酸纤维素）.”

Mr. Kim explains that cellulose acetate can be made into another material: carbon. The pieces of cellulose acetate, known as fibers, are changed through a one-step burning process. After this, they are turned into an energy storage material.

But why use carbon? Carbon has many qualities that seem　 to make it the perfect material. Carbon has a high surface area. It conducts electricity well. It also stays stable, unlikely to change, for a long time. And carbon does not cost a lot. All these qualities make it the most popular material for making super-capacitors（超级电容器）.

Super-capacitors are good at storing energy. They have high-power mass, or density(密度). They require only a short time for recharging. And they have a long lifecycle. Super-capacitors are used in products such as laptop computers and cell phones. They are also used in industrial energy converters, like wind turbine machines.

Combining carbon and super-capacitors seems like a perfect marriage.

Kim Gil-Pyo tells the Reuters News Agency that cigarette butts could affect the economy is a huge way. They could prove to be a low-cost source of carbon material. They are so cheap that smokers throw them to the ground. And you don’t get much cheaper than that.

1.What may people think seeing a person throw a cigarette to the ground?

A.That all depends.　　　　　　 B.He should be blamed.

C.It causes them to smoke.　 D.The butts can be reused.

2.Filters can be made into a material that　　　　　　　 .

A.is used as the battery surface

B.can be turned into electricity

C.is very easy and costs nothing

D.can hold electricity energy well

3.Super-capacitors made from carbon　　　　　　 .

A.need quite a long time to recharge

B.are comparatively very expensive

C.can easily carry an electrical current

D.can save a large quantity of electricity

4.The story tells the readers the truth that　　　　　　　 .

A.where there is a will, there is a way

B.the most useless is usually the most useful

C.ideas usually hit at the most unusual places

D.one person’s trash is another person’s treasure

Have you ever dreamed of meeting top scientists in person? If so, what would you want to ask them?

For Tan Fanglin, a 15-year-old girl from No. 2 High School of East China Normal University in Shanghai, her dream of meeting top scientists has already come true. In October 2019, she attended the World Laureates Forum for a second time, which had attracted 44 Nobel Prize Winners and 21 other world-class award winners. Tan was by far the youngest participant among the scientists invited to be at the meeting of the world’s sharpest minds.

Her discovery about the relationship between the Fibonacci sequence (斐波那契数列) and Bézout numbers (贝祖数) has won her many prizes in youth innovation competitions both in Shanghai and elsewhere in China. Her finding has been praised by the famous Canadian mathematician, Professor Rankin, who has been studying the same theme for five years but with no conclusions.

From a very young age, Tan has always been fascinated by mathematics. This is largely because her father, who teaches mathematics in East China Normal University, has a profound impact on her. According to Xu Jun, the head teacher, Tan doesn’t take after-school classes or too many extra exercises either. Her mastering of Advanced Mathematics and her good grades in school are thanks to the right study method. Her mother told Guangming Daily that Tan always treats studying and life with a positive state of mind so she can feel happy while studying.

Attending this forum enabled Tan to get more inspiration from top scientists. She even got the opportunity to talk with Gero Miesenbock, the 2019 Warren Alpert Foundation Prize winner. She asked Professor Miesenbock what he considered were the best personal qualities for conducting scientific research. Miesenbock encouraged her not to lose her passion and love for what she does. He said that accepting failures is crucial for researchers. He stressed that people all knew that even Thomas Edison went through hundreds of unsuccessful attempts before finally inventing the light bulb. The words made Tan feel inspired and she promised to keep her curiosity and interests in mathematics and overcome any obstacles in her research.

1.What can we learn about Tan Fanglin according to paragraph 2?

A.She is a student from East China Normal University.

B.She frequently participates in the World laureates Forum.
