【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 traordinary reptile(爬行動(dòng)物)? including how we can best save it from extinction.”This isn39。t the only time a species thought to be extinct has been rediscovered. In fact, this year scientists discovered a frog that has been missing for more than 50 years in a Brazilian jungle. Another example is the Albany adder snake, which was rediscovered in 2016. The species had disappeared for over a decade and was generally believed to be extinct.So how are these lost species able to make a eback? If the environment changes in favor of certain species that have been considered extinct, the population size of those species may recover again. As they reach greater numbers, the chance of humans discovering them increases.8. Why is the part of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them mentioned?A. To lead to a discussion about animal extinction.B. To warn of the difference between reality and fiction.C. To demonstrate that magic can be found in real life.D. To further discuss the reappearance of creatures.9. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. How luck determined the fate of a lost species.B. How the GWC rediscovered the Voeltzkow39。s chameleon.C. An introduction to the Search for Lost Species program.D. The solutions to make “l(fā)ost species e back.10. What can we know about the Voeltzkow39。s chameleon?A. They can change their colors to green and yellow.B. Female chameleons are much longer than male ones.C. The color of the males39。 skin can reflect their mood.D. Male chameleons outnumber female ones by a lot.11. What can be concluded from the last two paragraphs?A. The rediscoveries may be due to environmental changes.B. The habitats of frogs and snakes arc quite similar.C. Human beings are to blame for species extinction.D. Extinct reptiles would be the first group to be rediscovered.DVideo calls are a mon occurrence, but have you imagined being able to touch the person on the other end of the line? Scientists are making this a reality.Researchers at the University of New South Wales, Australia, have invented a soft skin stretch device (SSD), a haptic (觸覺(jué)的) device that can recreate the sense of touch. Haptic technology mimics (模仿) the experience of touch by stimulating small areas of the skin in ways that are similar to what is felt in the real world, through force, vibration (震動(dòng)) or motion.Vibration is the most mon haptic technology today and has been built into many electronic devices, such as one attached to the back of a trackpad (觸控板) in laptops, which mimics a button clicking. However, haptic feedback with vibration bees less sensitive when used continuously. The existing technology also has great difficulty recreating the sense of touch with objects in virtual environments or located remotely, according to Mai Thanh Thai, lead author of the study.The new technology overes issues with existing haptic devices. The research team introduced a novel method to recreate the sense of touch through soft, artificial “muscles”.“Our threeway directional skin stretch device built into the fingertips of the wearable haptic glove we also created, is like wearing a second skin — it’s soft, stretchable and mimics the sense of touch — and will enable new forms of haptic munication to enhance everyday activities,” said Thanh Nho Do, senior author of the study.It works like this: Imagine you are at home and you call your friend who is in Australia. You wear a haptic glove with the SSDs and your friend also wears a glove with integrated (集成的) 3D force sensors. If your friend picks up an object, it will physically press against your friend’s fingers. And his/her glove with 3D force sensors will measure these interactions. The force signals can be sent to your glove so your device will generate the same 3D forces, making you experience the same sense of touch as your friend.The haptic devices could be applied in various scenarios, allowing users to feel objects inside a virtual world or at a distance. This could be especially beneficial during such times like the COVID19 pandemic when people rely on video calls to stay connected with loved ones. Or it could be used in medical practices. Doctors can feel a patient’s organ tissues with surgical tools without touching them.12. What’s the main purpose of the text?A. To encourage the use of a new product.B. To inform readers of a new invention.C. To pare different haptic devices.D. To introduce the development of haptic technology.13. What can we learn about the SSD?A. It mimics the sense of touch through a trackpad.B. It mainly use
