　　When your skin gets burned,it’s not only painful; it’s bad for your body.Burned skin cannot keep the bacteria out,so infections (感染)are common.Doctors often wrap burns in bandages for protection,but a recent study shows that a new kind of bandage can actually fight infection.

　　Toby Jenkins,a scientist in England,worked on the study.Jenkins and his colleagues developed a material that contains tiny capsules (胶囊).To a bacterium,these capsules look like cells just waiting to be damaged.The bacteria attack the cells by releasing poisons.But when the bacteria attack the capsules,the capsules fight back—by releasing antibiotics (抗生素)that knock out any nearby bacteria.

　　The material was tested on two types of harmful bacteria.When researchers placed pieces of the new material in a dish with the bacteria,the bacteria barely grew at all,which is unusual.This observation led the researchers to believe that the material really works.

　　The scientists want the bandages to work specifically against dangerous bacteria,so they also tested the material on a harmless type of E.coli bacteria.When the material was placed in a dish with E.coli,the bacteria grew quickly梥howing that it didn抰 foolll the harmless bacteria.This early experiment shows that the material can selectively kill dangerous bacteria,but it抯 too early to start using the material in hospitals.l

　　揟his is a nice approach and they抳e shown in principle that it works,?said Christopher Batich,a biomedical engineer in the US,who did not work on the study.While he抯 excited about the results,he added that the real world is more complicated than this exolllperiment.揧ou抎 have to work with real bacteria and real wounds to see if it makes a difference,?he said.al

　　Jenkins and his colleagues are back at work improving the material.In the not-so-distant future,this kind of antibacterial bandage may move from the laboratory to the hospital bed—and give burned victims a fighting chance against infection.

　　1.According to the passage,the capsules’ appearance . 

　　A.can fool the harmless bacteria only B.shows what the cells look like in our body

　　C.can cause the harmful bacteria’s aggressive behavior D.can make the harmful bacteria kill themselves

　　2.It can be inferred from the passage that E.coli bacteria probably . 

　　A.made no attacks on the cell-like capsules B.fought against some harmful bacteria

　　C.protected burned victims from infection D.released antibiotics themselves

　　3.According to the passage,Mr.Batich may agree that 　. 

　　A.the experiment was a piece of good news for any patient

　　B.the new kind of bandage needs further testing in practice

　　C.Jenkins and his colleagues are all outstanding

　　D.the new kind of bandage will be used in hospitals soon

　　4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?()

　　A.Once your skin gets burned,your body will get infected.

　　B.The capsules can kill harmful bacteria with poisons.

　　C.E.coli bacteria are less harmful than the other two types of bacteria.

　　D.Burned patients will benefit from the new kind of bandage.

　　(2015石家庄高三二模)【建议说明类】

　　Q:I currently entered college in New York.Since English is not my first language,I sometimes ask a friend to read my essays to help fix the grammar and language.I believe I抦 being graded mainly on my ideas,and my friend helps me get my ideas across betterl in English.Is this OK?

　　桵arianar

　　A:It’s good that you want to succeed in your written work at college.Making use of available resources to help you succeed is a smart strategy(策略).But while you may believe that your instructors don’t care as much about how you write as they do about your ideas,that抯 not a fair assumption.e

　　Certainly,your ideas are important.No matter how polished your writing is,it will not disguise a poorly expressed idea in a paper.But as a college student,being able to organize your thoughts clearly梬hether you抮e speaking in class or writing a paper梚s cur ritical to show that you抳e mastered the material in each course.This does not mean you shouldn抰 ask others to review your written work before handing it in.That抯 OK. to

　　You should not,however,allow a friend or anyone else to rewrite parts of your papers for you.Instead,ask them to simply let you know about any parts of the paper that are unclear and need work.Many colleges have writing centers where tutors will work with you on your writing梬ithout doing the work for you.s

　　Regardless of whether you consult with a friend or a tutor,the right thing is for you to talk to your instructors to ask their advice and let them know you plan to seek assistance with your writing.If you ask them in advance for guidance on what抯 approprhiate and what’s not for the written work they assign,that will allow you to be as transparent as possible about how you complete your assignments.
