[山东省实验中学2025高二期中]In the movie The Wrong Trousers, a pair of futuristic
trousers lets people walk on walls and ceilings. Inspired by the movie, researchers in England
developed “The Right Trousers”, a set of trousers with electrical pumps to force air into tiny
tubes that expand. This can help elderly or disabled people with issues like getting up or
improving blood flow. Now, materials scientists, computer programmers and fabric designers are
working to advance robotic clothing.
In June, researchers in Australia created robotic fibres, which can make fabric move
automatically.Last year, scientists at MIT built fibre batteries that could be embedded (嵌入)
in clothes and power robotic clothing. In recent years, a network technology company has
partnered with some brands to put sensors in jackets, backpacks and shoes, letting users access
their phones instantly. Researchers said they can soon unlock a stage where clothing will act
more like a computer, sensing how your body feels and telling your clothes how to help.

At the University of New South Wales in Australia, researchers are creating fabrics that can
change shape. Thanh Nho Do, a senior lecturer at the school, said his team has created tiny
tubes that can be woven (编织) into sheets of fabric. These tubes can make fabric take on
various preprogrammed shapes. But challenges still remain for Do’s team, especially around
making these robotic tubes smaller so they can be easily woven together with other fabrics.
Rebecca Kramer-Bottiglio from Yale University agreed that many challenges remain before
smart clothing “reaches their full potential”.It will be challenging to make these clothes,
equipped with fibres and technology, strong enough to go through multiple cycles in the laundry
(洗衣房), she said. Despite that, she says researchers will figure out a way forwards.“Recent
breakthroughs point towards a not-so-distant future where smart clothing will be a part of our
everyday life,” she said.

[安徽合肥六校2024高二期中联考]Going from being called a “stupid molecule (分子)”
to “the secret of life”, our discovery and understanding of DNA has come a long way. This
year marks the 71th anniversary of the discovery of the structure of DNA—the key year when
the so-called “secret of life” was uncovered by two scientists: James Watson from the US and
Francis Crick from the UK.
Inherited characteristics like eye colour, nose shape and even intelligence—scientists found
the structure of the chemical which transmits these from one generation to another.“Discovering
how these ‘chemical’ cards are shuffled (洗牌) and paired will keep the scientists busy for
the next 50 years,” journalist Ritchie Calder commented in 1953 on the discovery. And it
certainly has. The study of DNA has led to world-changing advances in many fields.

“DNA makes time fluid (流动的),” said The Irish Times.It lets us redefine the future.
For example, in medicine, DNA helps us identify “weak points” in the human genome (基因
组) that might be prone to disease. Through a technique called gene therapy, a person’s genes
can be modified to treat or cure certain diseases. Another example is agriculture, where work on
plant DNA has allowed us to change the way we breed crops, opening the door for genetically
modified plants and advances in food security.
DNA can also shed light on the past. In forensic science (法医科学), DNA analysis has
come to serve as a vital form of evidence in crime scenes, with “many millions having been
proved guilty or innocent” through its usage, said the website AZoLifeSciences. And DNA in
specimens (标本) like fossils and artefacts can give us vital information on humans and other
species.
