8、r-old New Jersey native. “Id never really cared about my name being that big, but going to New York and seeing the big screens, you always wonder if your work is going to make it up there. The video that helps Scholar fulfill his “ American dream was shot and produced in China, where Scholar is livi
9、ng and working as a media company owner. Scholar took his first Chinese class in high school seven years ago and made his first trip to Shanghai in 2015 through a study-abroad program when he was a student in New York University. The film and TV major changed his focus from technical art to traditio
10、nal arts during his study in Shanghai, spending most of the time learning ink-and-wash painting, calligraphy and the guzheng,a traditional Chinese musical instrument. He also fell in love with the city, where he ate a lot of authentic xiaolongbao, or steamed meat buns, and felt safe walking on the s
11、treets at 3 am. Shanghai impresses Scholar as an efficient, modern city calling for greater business prosperity with foreign participation, so he returned two years later, when his career at home was already booming after making commercials for big names such as Coca-Cola and Jaguar. Thanks to a com
12、bination of luck and talent, he achieved the goal soon with a Chinese friend as his business partner, and the company has already produced some 15 videos for pop icons, fashionistas, and art museums in merely six months. The video that plays at Times Square, a tourism promotionalfilm for southwest C

16、urces which are pollution free and environmentally friendly are one of the key challenges ofworlds future society. A team of roboticists and biologists at IITIstituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Pontedera (Pisa, Italy), found that living plants can help with electricity. Fabian Meder, Barbara Mazzolai
17、 and iheir co-workers at IIT discovered that living plants are “ green ” power source,which may :become one of futures electricity supplies that perfectly produces in natural environments and is accessible all over the world. Results are published on Advanced Functional Materials. They discovered th
18、at plants can produce, by a single leaf, more than 150 volts each time the leaf is touched, enough to power 100 LED light bulbs. They also showed that an “hybrid tree” made of natural and artificial leaves can act as an “green” electrical producer transferring wind into electricity. Certain leaf str
19、uctures are able to transform mechanical(机械的) forces applied at the leaf surface into electrical energy, because of the specific composition that most plant leaves naturally provide. In detail, the leaf is able to gather electric charges on its surface due to a process called contact electrification
20、. These charges are then immediately passed into the inner plant tissue. The plant tissue transports the electricity to other parts of the plant. And then, by simply connecting a “ plug” to the plant stem(茎), the electricity produced can he harvested and used to power electronic devices. The researc
21、hers additionally describe for the first time how this effect can be used to transfer wind into electricity by plants. They equipped a Nerum oleander tree(夹竹桃) with artificial leaves that touch the natural Nerum oleander leaves. When wind blows into the plant and moves the leaves, the “hybrid tree”
22、produces electricity. The electricity produced increases the more leaves are touched. Consequently, it can he easily up-scaled by exploiting the whole surface of I he leaves of a tree or even a forest.1.What can we learn about the discovery of the Italian scientists?A.A living leaf can produce elect
23、ricity for 100 LED bulbs when touched.B.Artificial plants now serve as an electricity supply in natural environments.C.An artificial leaf can produce electricity for 100 LED bulbs when touched.D.Natural trees can produce electricity by transferring wind in natural environments.2.What does the underl

How does the plant provide electricity for use?a.Electricity is gained from the stem.b.Mechanical forces are put on the leaf.c.Electric charges are gathered by the leaf.d.Electrical energy is passed into the inner parts.e.Mecha

Landholding farmers say that the countrys estimated 50 million kangaroos da
27、mage their crops and compete with livestock for scarce resources. Australias insurance industry says that kangaroos are involved in more than 80 percent of the 20,000-plus vehicle-animal collisions reported each year. In the countrys underpopulated region, the common belief is that kangaroo numbers
28、have swollen to “plague proportions.” In the absence of traditional hunters, the thinking goes, killing kangaroos is critical to balancing the ecology and boosting the rural economy. A government-sanctioned(政府认可的) industry, based on the commercial harvest of kangaroo meat and hides, exported $29 mil
29、lion in products in 2017 and supports about 4,000 jobs. Today meat, hides, and leather from kangaroos have been exported to 56 countries. Global brands such as Nike, Puma, and Adidas buy strong, supple “k-leather” to make athletic gear. And kangaroo meat is finding its way into more and more grocery
30、 stores. Advocates point out that low-fat, high-protein kangaroo meat comes from an animal more environmentally friendly than greenhouse gas-emitting sheep and cattle. John Kelly, former executive director of the Kangaroo Industry Association of Australia, says, “Harvesting our food and fibers from
31、animals adapted to Australias fragile rangelands is extremely wise and sustainable. Many ecologists will tell you that there is no more humane way of producing red meat.” Opponents(反对者) of the industry call the killing inhumane, unsustainable, and unnecessary. Population estimates are highly debatab
32、le, they say, but “plague proportions” are biologically implausible. Little kangaroos grow slowly, and many die, so kangaroo populations can expand by only 10 to 15 percent a year, and then only under the best of circumstances. Dwayne Bannon-Harrison, a member of the Yuin people of New South Wales, says the idea that kangaroos are destroying the country is laughable. “Theyve been walking this land a lot longer than people have,” he says. “How could something thats been here for t
