Cao Yuan, a PhD student from China, had two papers published on strange behaviour in atom-thick layers of carbon that have opened up a new field of physics.
Pablo Jarillo-Herrero’s group at MIT was already layering and rotating (旋转) sheets of carbon at different angles when Cao joined the lab in 2014. Cao’s job was to find out what happened when one graphene (石墨烯) sheet was twisted only slightly with respect to the other, which one theory predicted would thoroughly change the material’s behaviour.
Many physicists doubted the idea. But when Cao set out to create the subtly twisted stacks, he spotted something strange. Exposed to a small electric field and cooled to 1.7 degrees above absolute zero, the graphene—which ordinarily conducts electricity—became an insulator. That by itself was surprising. But the best was yet to come: with a slight change to the field, the twisted sheets became a superconductor, in which electricity flowed without resistance.
The ability to get atom-thick carbon into a complex electronic state through a simple rotation now has physics demanding to engineer exciting behavior in other twisted 2D materials. Some even hope that graphene could shed light on how more-complex materials superconduct at much higher temperatures. "There are so many things we can do," says Cory Dean, a physicist at Columbia University. "The opportunities at hand now are almost irresistible."
Hitting graphene’s “magic angle”—a rotation between parallel sheets of around 1.1°—involved some trial and error, but Cao was soon able to do it reliably. His experimental skill was extremely important, says his supervisor Jarillo-Herrero. Cao pioneered a method of tearing a single sheet of graphene so that he could create a stack of two layers, from which he could then fine-tune alignment (微调校准).
Cao loves to take things apart and rebuild them. A heart, he is “a tinkerer”, his supervisor says. On his own time, this means photographing the night sky using homemade cameras and telescopes—pieces of which usually lie across Cao’s office. "Every time I go in, it’s a huge mess, with computers taken apart and pieces of telescope all over his desk," says Jarillo-Herrero.
24. What is Cao Yuan’s achievement?
A. Creating a method of piling carbon.
B. Finding the superconductivity of graphene.
C. Making equipment to twist graphene.
D. Starting research on a new field of physics.
25. What do we know from Cory Dean’s words?
A. The finding can be applied to all materials.
B. It is certain that many new discoveries are on the way.
C. The discovery suggests potential for other twisted 2D materials.
D. Physicists have been pushed to find more atom-thick carbon layers.
26. What does Jarillo-Herrero think is key to Cao Yuan’s discovery?
A. His method of tearing sheets. B. His knowledge of physics.
C. His curiosity about graphene. D. His skill in experiments.
27. What can we infer about Jarillo-Herrero?
A. He is an expert in telescope. B. He thinks highly of Cao Yuan.
C. He appreciates messy offices. D. He follows Cao Yuan’s research.
C
In the UK, Bonfire Night or Guy Fawkes Night is celebrated on 5 November and the night skies are filled with color. It’s a special day in honor of a historic event.
In 1606 English Catholics were angry because the King of England, James I, was treating them badly. In protest (抗议), a group of men made a plan, known as the “Gunpowder Plot”, to blow up the House of Parliament in London. A huge explosion was planned for 5 November, the day the king was due to open parliament.
The group chose a man called Guy Fawkes to light the gunpowder. The plot did not succeed — the gunpowder was found before it exploded and all the men involved were arrested, beaten and executed. To celebrate his survival, King James ordered the people of England to have a bonfire on the night of 5 November.
On 5 November people remember the plot by celebrating Bonfire Night. All over Britain there are firework displays and bonfires with models of Guy Fawkes, made from clothes and filled with newspaper, which are burned on the fire. The fireworks are a reminder of the gunpowder that Guy Fawkes hid in the cellar of Parliament.
Children used to take home-made Guys onto the streets and ask for “a penny for the Guy” to collect money to buy fireworks. At the Edenbridge Display in Kent last year, a 9-meter “celebrity” Guy was burned of Wayne Rooney wearing Shrek-style ears and a Manchester United football shirt.
It’s normally quite cold in November in Britain, so on Bonfire Night people wear hats, scarves and gloves to spend the evening outside. Traditional Bonfire Night food is hot baked potatoes. There are also toffee apples and in the north of England they eat a special type of cake called parkin.
28. Why was 5 November chosen by “Gunpowder Plot”?
A. There would be a protest
B. There would be an explosion
C. James I would open parliament
D. James I would put Catholics to death
29. What does the underlined words “executed” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Scolded. B. Punished. C. Injured. D. Killed.
30. What seems to attract children most on Bonfire Night?
A. Celebrities. B. Fireworks.
C. Models of Guy Fawkes. D. Bonfire Night foods.
31. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Bonfire Night B. Guy Fawkes
C. Gunpowder Plot Failed D. Edenbridge Display Made It
D
There are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to grow as people, and to develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education, as they are responsible for what they do in life. Some students do badly in a traditional classroom.
