10、ebsite The Vergey flawed（有瑕疵的）phone batteries might be to blame.Even if you are not a science student, you probably know that it is common sense that the anode （負(fù)極）and the cathode （正極）should never touch. If they do, the battery will short- circuit （短路），causing a powerful electrical reaction that can

11、 destroy the battery and cause a fire.This is why all lithium-ion （鋰離子）batteries - the kind that can be found in many of our devices like tablets and cameras have a separator layer inside to stop the two ends from touching one another.But somehow, the separators in some of the Samsung phones broke,

12、causing explosions.Overcharging is another problem that can make batteries heat up quickly. Fortunately, most batteries are designed to be able to automatically stop charging once they are fully charged. But again, this somehow failed to happen in some of the Samsung phones.The two “somehows” may so

13、und random（隨機(jī)的）and hard to explain. But they actually both come from the fact that phone producers have been pushing the limits of batteries to meet customers demand for a longer battery life.According to Lynden Archer, a materials scientist at Cornell University, US, “we have already achieved 90 pe

14、rcent of the battery life possible from a lithium-ion battery. Customers，demand that their devices get thinner has also given producers little choice but to try to put more power into thinner batteries.”“The more energy you put into a box, the more dangerous its going to be, “ Billy Wu, a lecturer a

15、t Imperial College London, told The Guardian.A thinner battery also means producers have to use thinner material for separators, and thinner material has more chance of breaking.語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要對三星手機(jī)爆炸的原因進(jìn)行了詳細(xì)的分析。What are the direct reasons for the Samsung phone explosions?Short circuiting and ove

22、nting the chip only takes about a second and is said to hurt only very briefly. The chips go under the skin between the thumb and forefinger. With a chip in hand, a person can enter the office building, buy food, sign into computers and more, simply by waving that hand near a scanner. The chips will

23、 be also used to identify employees. Employees who want convenience, but do not want to have a microchip implanted under their skin, can wear a wristband （腕帶）or a ring with a chip instead. They can perform the same tasks with a wave of their hands as if they had an implanted chip.Three Square Market

24、 is the first company in the United States to offer to implant chips in its employees. Epicenter, a company in Sweden, has been implanting chips in its employees for a while.Three Square Market says the chip cannot track the employees. The company says scanners can read the chips only when they are

25、within a few inches of them. The chips protect against identity theft, similar, to credit cards.” The U S.

32、rt in the 4 arguments that surround cloning of animals, and most particularly humans.For example, reproductive cloning of animals was first $ in the 1950s. Most know the sheep Dolly, cloned in 1996. Dollys parent had DNA transferred 0 an egg that had its nucleus （核子）removed. This is called a nuclear

33、 transfer. The cell was then with chemicals to make it grow so an almost & copy of the sheep was 9.In fact, Dolly was not an exact clone of her parent. She J。 the same DNA, but some of the genetic materials of the donor cell also 1 part of Dolly. This is only 0.1% of Dolly，s DNA, but it does J2 a li
