9、 D. Romes fast-paced life-style BToday regarded as the first British prime minister, Walpole would not have described himself as such.

11、teen, was educated at Eton and Cambridge, and inherited a country wealth at the age of 24. With this wealth he gained the financial independence necessary to enter politics at the time.

The Belgian boy plays video games like Fortnite and Minecraft, spends time on social media, and loves to travel. But when it comes to studying, he puts students seni

18、or to him by a decade to shame, graduating from university at age nine. If all goes well and Laurent Simons completes his final project at Eindhoven University of Technology, in the Netherlands, he will graduate with a degree in electrical engineering in December. Most people take three years to gra

19、duate from the very same program, but Laurent entered just last year, and he is set to complete in just 10 months. Thats thanks to his superior intellect and his remarkable capacity to take in lots of information in very little time, which allows professors to go through the curriculum at a much fas

20、ter pace. Its been quite special and enjoyable, Peter Baltus, a professor of integrated electronics, said about working with his youngest-ever student. Laurents parents recall his grandparents telling them that he was special from a very young age, but they didnt pay much attention to their observat

21、ions at first. But then he started primary school when he was four, and at six years old he was already in high school. Then he started university and professors there couldnt stop talking about how impressive their son was. So yes, now they realize that their son is pretty special. The 9-year-old c

22、hild genius says he wants to study medicine after he graduates in December, and start working on artificial organs. Thats definitely a field that many experts claim has the potential to change medicine as we know it today, but Laurent Simons reasons are personal. The grandparents he grew up with suf

26、umorous and clever. C. Caring and intelligent. D. Promising but modest DMelting gold normally requires temperatures upwards of 1064 (1947), but physics is never quite that simple. A team of researchers has now found a way to melt gold at room temperature using an electric field and an electron micro

27、scope. Although were all familiar with the phenomenon of melting, most of us dont really think about the physics behind the process. Essentially, when something melts, all thats happening is that the bonds between its molecules(分子)break down and they begin to move more freely. Heat is the usual caus

28、e for the change, but its not the only onepressure plays a part too. Experimenting with those conditions has let scientists do all sorts of unexpected things recently, like making water freeze at temperatures well above its usual boiling point. In the new study, the researchers tested another cause:

29、 an electric field. The team placed a small piece of gold in an electron microscope, and observed it at the highest level of magnification(放大率). Then, they slowly ramped up the strength of an electric field to see how the gold atoms reacted. When they looked back at the data afterwards, the research

30、ers realized that the electric field had excited the atoms in the top layers of the gold. That made them break free of the most of the object, effectively melting the material at room temperature. The change was so reversible(可反转的), as switching off the electric field can solidify the gold again. “I

31、 was really astonished by the discovery,” says Ludving de Knoop, first author of the study. “This is an extraordinary phenomenon, and it gives us new, foundational knowledge of gold.” The team isnt entirely sure how the technique works to melt gold at a very low temperature, but it may be due to a p

32、henomenon known as low-dimensional phase transition. The researchers plan to investigate that in the future, which may help unlock some applications for the discovery. 32. How many causes of melting are mentioned in the text? A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four 33. What does the underlined word “ramped up” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Increased B. Controlled C. Observed D. Gathered. 34. What is the researchers attitude towards the future of the technique? A.
