19、ganization, the first thing I did was to hit the streets. Dakar, the capital, leans out into warm Atlantic wind. It has a relaxing atmosphere that makes it a favorite destination.

20、ail me, begging. During a previous trip to Senegal, I was once cheated by a man. Id wondered for years whether to give money to beggars in West Africa. Near my apartment, I passed a group of young men in wheelchairs whom I took to be beggars. Head down, I walked by them quickly. As the months went b
21、y, Id often come across them. Id often see them at an outdoor basketball court near nay office. Theyd sit on the ground with their chairs upside down, tightening and adjusting wheels, waiting until the other guys left so they could play. Id stay and watch them warm up. They played with speed, rollin
22、g down the court as fast as I could run. A few weeks later I introduced myself to them with the help of Mafall, who was one of the guys and could speak a little French. I started spending more time with them and eventually became something like an assistant coach. The players quickly grew on me. I s
23、tarted referring to them as“my guys”to my colleagues. It was the most fun Id had since I got to Dakar. Life on the street had made my players strong and they didnt back down easily. I was proud of them. Toward the end of the season, Mafall invited me to where he livedfound many of the players there,

28、ptions, “extreme”is something you typically want to avoid. Consider, for example, extreme weather events. Floods, drought, forest fires, and heat waves do great damage to our planet and, often, our economy. Now a new report that analyzed extreme weather events has reached a depressing(but unsurprisi
29、ng)conclusion：Theyre happening more frequently. But the news isnt all badwe may be getting better at lessening their economic influence. In 2013, the European AcademiesScience Advisory Council(EASAC)released(发布)a study titled“Trends in Extreme Weather Events in Europe. ”Recently EASAC has shared an
30、update to that study that combines data from 2013 through 2017. The data indicate that extreme weather events were happening much more frequently across the globe and theyre not likely to get less frequent anytime soon. The updated report also looked at potential drivers of these extreme weather eve
31、nts, including the weakened Gulf Stream, which has slowed down as the planet becomes warm, and some scientists are concerned that it could shut down altogether, which would dramatically alter Europes climate. The researchers behind this study cant tell if it would ever shut down completely, but they
32、 suggest its best to watch it and see. Tile researchers also noted the rising economic costs of events like these. For example, in 1980. North America lost $10 billion to thunderstorms. In 2015, that figure had reached nearly $20 billion. But in Europe, though river floods have become more frequent,
33、 those financial losses are holding steady, not rising. This may be a tiny bit of good news in a rising sea of bad. But in fact, those costs might show that countries have carried out more protective measures. That means it might be possible to successfully“climate proof”our populated areas to limit
34、 the influence of extreme weather events, though its expensive, and far from safe. 28. Which of the following statements is true? A. EASAC is devoted to the study of the extreme weather tendency in Europe. B. The frequency of the extreme weather events is becoming lower and lower. C. Extreme weather

What does the underlined word“alter”in the fifth paragraph refer to?A. Improve. B. Better. C. Change. D. Protect. 30. Why doesnt Europe suffer from more e
36、conomic losses during the floods?A. Because the floods have become less frequent. B. Because the floods eventually flow into the sea. C. Because the United States provides them with a lot of financial aid. D. Because many European countries have taken effective actions in advance. 31. What is the au
37、thors attitude toward fighting against the extreme climate change?A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unconcerned. D. Disapproval. DGetting stitched(缝合)up by Dr. Robot may one day be reality. Scientists have created a robotic system which did just that in living animals without a real doctor pulling, the s
38、trings. Much like engineers are designing self-driving cars, the medical research is part of a move toward autonomous surgical robots, removing the surgeons hands from certain tasks that a machine might perform all by itself. Doctors wouldnt leave the bedside theyre supposed to watch, plus theyd han
39、dle the rest of the surgery. In small tests using pigs, the robotic arm performed at least as well, and in some cases a bit better, as some competing surgeons in stitching together intestinal(肠的)tissue. “The purpose wasnt to replace surgeons, ”said Dr. Kim who led the project. “If you have all intel
40、ligent tool that works with a surgeon, can it improve the outcome? Thats what we have done. ”If youve heard about machines like the popular Da Vinci system, you might think robots already are operating. Not really. Today many hospitals offer, robot-assisted surgery where surgeons use the machinery a
41、s tools that they control by hand, typically, to operate through tiny openings in the body. But robot-assisted surgery has been controversial, as some studies have shown it can bring higher costs without better outcomes. Kims team at Childrens Sheikh Zayed Institute invented the new STAR systemit st
42、ands for Smart Tissue Autonomous Robotworks sort of like a programmable sewing machine. They added sensors to help guide each stitch and tell how tightly to pull. But the approach wasnt perfect. In the living animals, the robot took much longer and made a few stitching mistakes while the surgeon sew
43、ing by hand made none. Kim said the robot can be sped up. Fie hopes to begin human studies in two or three years. 32. Whats the best title for the text?A. A new robotic system B.
