He moved to the Netherlands and majored in Biological Chemistry. It was this university that directed his interest in the synthesis （合成）of nucleot

2、ides, the basic units that are required to build DNA. At that time, not many researchers studied the combination of genes （基因），but Robertos strong chemistry background made a historical invention possible.In 1977, he joined the Genentech, Inc. and the gene synthesis team at City of Hope Medical Scho

3、ol. The company funded Dr. Creas ongoing research on gene synthesis.

10、y that each year some of the 1.5 million people die from vaccine-preventable diseases due to gaping holes in medical record-keeping, especially in developing countries where resources to properly document immunizations （免疫注射）may be lacking.To solve that problem, researchers headed by a team at the M

11、assachusetts Institute of Technology （MIT） have invented a way to deliver vaccines （疫苗）through a microneedle patch （小片）that is buried in the skin. Its a record that cant be seen, written in quantum dots that contain vaccination history and give off light only readable by a specially equipped smartph

12、one. The scientists say it doesnt require any link to a database and it doesn*t tie any personal information into it.For now, the patch can only contain a handful of simple shapes. But adding more microneedles could make the designs more complex, potentially conveying information about a vaccination

13、 date, dosage and more. From there, reading the dots becomes a lot like scanning a QR code. These designs could be scanned and interpreted by smartphones, and someday allow health providers to access patients* past vaccinations without chaos of external records.The next step, before trials in people

14、, is to test its practicability among experts in the field. The researchers now plan to work with health care workers in developing nations in Africa to get input on the best way to carry out this type of vaccination record-keeping.Ultimately, we believe that this invisible on-body technology opens

15、up new possibilities fbr data storage and biosensing applications that could influence the way medical care is provided, especially in the developing world, “ the researchers conclude.What do the underlined words “that problem in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Few medical resources.B Wrong ways to deliver

16、vaccines.C. Lack of vaccination record-keeping.D. The fact that no vaccinations are required in developing countries.What can we learn about quantum dots?A They keep a record of the vaccination.They need to be connected to a database.They give away ones personal information.They can read light produ

17、ced by smartphones.How will health providers access patients* past vaccinations?A. By reading the QR code.B By scanning the design.By interpreting external records.By increasing microneedles.8 . What do the researchers expect of the new technology?A. It will be cost-saving.B - It will hit the market

18、 soon.C It may ensure the accuracy of data.D. It may bring changes to medical care. II .完形填空2022兰州市高三诊断It was just after sunrise on an August morning.
