35、D. attract more people to write articles for ACBPersonally, I love writing reviews of any kind mostly because that way I can put all my thoughts about the subject on the paper. Before we go on, I have to mention it is different when you write a review for yourself i.e. your blog or website and for y

36、our professor in college.To an untrained eye, reviews may seem pointless. Whats the point of writing 9about something when other people and your professor have already read the book? Isnt it enough to talk about it in the class?Just as movie reviews develop your critical thinking, book reviews do th

37、e same. It is not enough to read a book and call it a day; you have to establish your opinion, your likes, and dislikes. When a professor gives you this assignment, he/she wants to see your abilities to analyze the book and use vocabulary skills to discuss different parts of the plot.Since we are ac

38、customed to writing book reports at a very young age, it comes as no surprise we dont think book reviews are different than a book report. Contrary to the popular belief, book reviews and book reports are two different types of writing. Knowing how they differ is essential for writing a high-quality

39、 paper that will guarantee a good grade.Book reports usually centre around topical details about the author and the plot of the story. On the other hand, a book review is a more complicated approach to understanding and discussing a book. It doesnt centre around a summary of each section, but you ha

40、ve to carry out a thorough analysis. As you grow and develop as a student, so does your ability to think critically. You dont just sum up what youve just read but analyze every piece of the puzzle in order to show the ability not only to pay attention to detail but also engage thinking critically. H

41、ere, you have to be careful that you arent, actually, just retelling the story.While book reviews may contain some elements of book reports e.g. author, characters, plot, the emphasis is to provide a more detailed insight, go deeper and elaborate strengths and weaknesses of the book, and discuss the

42、 elements of the story.You know the difference between book reports and book reviews, now what? Now youre ready to begin the assignment. In order to write a thorough book review, you have to pay attention to everything about the book, which is why writing down the information about the author, genre

43、, etc. is strongly advised. Thats why youll need a pen and notebook where you can write everything.1058. According to the passage, what should be done before starting to write a review?A.

45、ective summary B. Critical commentsC. Thorough comprehension D. Personal abilitiesCThe worlds most complex biological computer, made from a group of engineered cells, could one day be implanted into the body to detect diseases and deliver treatments.In an early research in 2012, Martin Fussenegger a

46、t ETH Zurish in Switzerland and his colleagues engineered two kidney cells to become a biological circuit(电路，回路) capable of simple mathematics. One of the cells was able to calculate addition: the presence or absence of each of two chemicals would switch on a reaction inside the cell that would make

47、 it shine different colors. The other cell worked in the same way but could substract amounts. This kind of biological circuit resembles a simple logic circuit in a computer. In theory, it could be used to indicate the presence of an infectious substance while in fact it failed.Most biological react

48、ions in the body arent that simple, though. They rarely rely on “one input and one output”-instead, multiple inputs lead to 11different outputs. For instance, a high level of calcium in the body in the presence of a specific hormone may suggest one disease, but a high level of calcium along with another hormone might indicate a completely different condition. To be more practical, biological computers need to be able to perform more complex mathematics. However, it is hard to pack multiple calculations into a single cell. To get around this, Fussenegger a
