Batteries Built by Viruses
What do chicken pox，the common cold, the flu，and AIDS have in common? They’re all disease caused by viruses，tiny microorganisms that can pass from person to person.It's no wonder that when most people think about viruses, finding ways t0 steer clear of viruses is what's on people's minds.
Not everyone runs from the tiny disease carders, though.In Cambridge, Massachusetts, scientists have discovered that some viruses can be helpful in an unusual way.They are putting viruses to work, teaching them to build some of the world's smallest rechargeable batteries.
Viruses and batteries may seem like an unusual pair，but they're not so strange for engineer Angela Belcher，who first came up with the idea.At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, she and her collaborators bring together different areas of science in new ways.In the case of the virus-built batteries, the scientists combine what they know about biology, technology and production techniques.
Belcher's team includes Paula Hammond，who helps put together the tiny batteries, and Yet-Ming Chiang， an expert on how to store energy in the form of a battery.“We’re working on things we traditionally don’t associate with nature.” says Hammond.
Many batteries are already pretty small.You can hold A.C and D batteries in your hand.The coin—like batteries that power watches are often smaller than a penny.However。every year，new electronic devices like personal music players or cell phones get smaller than the year before.As these devices shrink, ordinary batteries won't be small enough to fit inside.
The ideal battery will store a lot of energy in a small package.Right now，Belcher's model battery，a metallic disk completely built by viruses，looks like a regular watch battery.But inside，its components are very small—so tiny you can only see them with a powerful microscope.
How small are these battery parts? To get some idea of the size，pluck one hair from your head.Place your hair on a piece of white paper and try to see how wide your hair is—pretty thin，right? Although the width of each person's hair is a bit different，you could probably fit about l o of these virus—built battery parts，side to side，across one hair.These microbatteries may change the way we look at viruses7.
答案解析：
1.C 短文第一段的大致意思是，許多疾病都由病毒引起，諸如水痘、感冒和艾滋病，所以人們想盡辦法躲避病毒。這是C所表達的意思。A不是正確選擇，因為文章并沒有說人們想方設(shè)法去殺死病毒。B的后半句的內(nèi)容(病毒肉眼看不見)和D的內(nèi)容(吃藥治療病毒引起的疾病)文中沒有提到。
2.C 短文的第二段明確提供了答案。
3.D 根據(jù)上下文，shrink在此的意思是“收縮”，即“縮小”。所以，它的反義詞是expand(增大，擴張)。C不是正確選擇，因為extend的意思是become longer，即“延伸”或“加長”。A的意思是“加寬”，也不是答案。B的意思是“伸展，展開”，在一定的上下文里也可以做shrink的反義詞，但在第五段這個語境里，B不是選擇。
4.D 第六段第二句中提到的metallic disk是指“金屬圓盤”，它是微型電池的外形，其內(nèi)部是由病毒構(gòu)成的電池部件。微型電池不是由金屬組成的，所以A不是答案。本段提到，這種電池looks like a regular watch battery，與手表里電池外形相似，但并不等同手表電池，所以B也不是正確選擇。文章只是說電池的部件(但并沒有說整個電池)小到只能用顯微鏡才能看到，所以C也不是正確的選擇。D才是第六段所要表達的主要內(nèi)容，因此是答案。
5.A 短文最后一段的第四句(“you could probably fit about lo of these virus-built battery parts，side to side，across one hair“)提供了本題的答案。
