【题目】

We arrived at the museum.in a hurry, only_______that it wouldn't be open until the next Wednesday.

A.to tell

B. to be told

C. telling

D. told

【答案】B

【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意为我们匆匆赶到博物馆,结果被告知下周三才开放。only to do sth.在句中表示结果,是意外的结果;另外主语是tell动作的承受者,所以用不定式的被动形式。

【题目】 The 2012 London Olympics had enough problems to worry about. But one more has just been added - a communications blackout caused by solar storms.

After a period of calm within the Sun, scientists have detected the signs of a flesh cycle of sunspots that could peak in 2012, just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London.

Now scientists believe that this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw billions of tons of charged matter towards the Earth, causing strong solar storms that could jam the telecommunications satellites and interact links sending five Olympic broadcast from London.

"The Sun's activity has a strong influence on the Earth. The Olympics could be in the middle of the next solar maximum which could affect the functions of communications satellites," said Professor Richard Harrison, head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire.

At the peak of the cycle, violent outbursts called coronal mass ejections (日冕物质抛射) occur in the Sun's atmosphere, throwing out great quantities of electrically-charged matter. " A coronal mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometers per hour. Such events can expose astronauts to a deadly amount, can disable satellites, cause power failures on Earth and disturb communications," Professor Harrison added. The risk is greatest during a solar maximum when there is the greatest number of sunspots.

Next week in America, NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which will take images of the Sun that are 10 times clearer than the most advanced televisions available.

The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory helped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of the solar flares (太阳耀斑) and explosions as they occur.

Professor Richard Hold away, the lab's director, said that the SDO should be able to provide early warning of a solar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite communications on Earth "If we have advance warning, we'll be able to reduce the damage. What you don't want is things switching off for a week with no idea of what's caused the problem," he said.

【1】 The phrase "communications blackout" in paragraph 1 most probably refers to _______during the 2012 Olympics.

A. the extinguishing of the Olympic torch

B. the collapse of broadcasting systems

C. the transportation breakdown in London

D. the destruction of weather satellites

【2】 What can be inferred about the solar activity described in the passage?

A. The most fatal matter from the corona falls onto Earth.

B. The solar storm peak occurs in the middle of each cycle.

C. It takes several seconds for the charged matter to reach Earth.

D. The number of sunspots declines after coronal mass ejections.

【3】 According to the passage, NASA will launch a satellite to _________.

A. take images of the solar system

B. provide early warning of thunderstorms

C. keep track of solar activities

D. improve the communications on Earth

【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A. Solar Storms: An Invisible Killer

B. Solar Storms: Earth Environment in Danger

C. Solar Storms: Threatening the Human Race

D. Solar Storms: Human Activities to Be Troubled

人体细胞生物传感器分子机理首次揭开

《科技日报》华盛顿201167 美国加州大学洛杉矶分校的研究人员6日表示,他们首次发现了人体细胞生物传感器分子的机理,为复杂的细胞控制系统提出了新的阐述。相关内容将以“本周论文”的形式刊登在610出版的《生物化学杂志》上,该成果有望帮助人们开发出应对高血压病和遗传性癫痫症等疾病的特殊疗法。

人体细胞控制系统能够引发一系列的细胞活动,而生物传感器是人体细胞控制系统的重要组成部分。被称为“控制环”的传感器能够在细胞膜上打开特定的通道让钾离子流通过细胞膜,如同地铁入站口能够让人们进入站台的回转栏。钾离子参与了人体内的关键活动,如血压、胰岛素分泌和大脑信号等的调整。然而,控制环传感器的生物物理功能过去一直未被人们了解。

研究人员发现,如同能够监视周围环境并能发出声信号的烟雾报警器一样,细胞能够通过了解变化和产生反应的分子传感器来控制细胞内的环境。当钙离子与控制环结合时,构成了被称为BK通道的细胞内部结构,细胞做出的反应是允许钾离子通过细胞膜。BK通道存在于人体多数细胞中,它们掌控着基本的生物过程,如血压、大脑和神经系统电信号、膀胱肌肉收缩和胰腺胰岛素分泌等。

加州大学洛杉矶分校研究人员首次证明控制环如何被激活,以及如何重新调整自己以便打开让钾离子穿过细胞膜的通道。利用实验室中先进的电生理学、生化和光谱仪技术,研究人员观察到钙离子与控制环的结合以及控制环结构的变化。该变化是其将钙离子结合的化学能转化为帮助打开BK通道的机械能。

研究负责人、洛杉矶分校麻醉学系分子医学部副教授里卡多·奥尔塞斯表示,在类似于活细胞的条件下,他们能够控制发生在生物传感器中的生物物理变化。他们相信细胞中的变化反映了人体中BK通道运行时分子的活动情况。

研究报告作者安诺希·贾沃荷瑞恩认为,人体分子生物传感器是令人兴奋的研究领域,希望研究成果能够让人类更深入地了解复杂的生物传感器是如何运作的。由于BK通道和其传感器与正常生理机能的许多方面相关,因此研究人员还相信,生物传感器工作过程也许与疾病的不少方面相关,例如,已证明BK传感器的失常与遗传性癫痫症有关。

研究人员将进一步了解BK控制环感应器以及通道是否涉及传感小分子(而不是钙离子),这些小分子在人体工作中同样也具有十分重要的生物意义。
