11、ing the need to breed lab monkeys and paving the way for more accurate, effective and affordable animal tests for new drugs, scientists said on Thursday .By December, the Institute of Neuroscience of the Chinese Academy of Sciences had created two clone macaques(獼猴) named”Zhong Zhong” and “Hua Hua”

12、by nuclear transferring of somatic cells(體細胞)-any cell in the organism other than reproductive cells.Tetra, a monkey born in 1999, is the worlds first cloned monkey, but it was done by using a simpler method called embryo splitting(胚胎分割); but it could only generate four cloned offspring at a time an

13、d cannot be genetically changed to suit the experimental need.Cloning a monkey using somatic cells has been a world-class challenge because it is a primate(靈長類) that shares its genetic makeup, and therefore all of its complexity, with humans.For drug and other lab tests, scientists have to purchase

14、monkeys from all over the world, which is costly and bad for the environment, and produces inaccurate results because each monkey might have different genes.By cloning monkey using somatic cells, we can massively cultivate large numbers of genetically identical offspring in a short amount of time, a

15、nd we can even change their genes to suit our needs. This can save time, cut down experiment costs, and produce more accurate results, leading to more effective medicine.Sun Qiang, director of the non-human primate research facility at the institute, said most of the drug trials are currently done o

16、n lab mice. However, drugs that work on mice might not work or even have severe side effects on humans because the two species are so different“Monkeys and humans are both primates, so they are much closely related and testing on monkeys is supposed to be as effective as testing on humans,”he said.

17、This is especially useful in testing drugs for neural(神經(jīng)的) diseases such as Parkinsons disease, metabolic syndrome(代謝綜合癥) and immune system diseases, and tumors, he added.“This achievement will help China lead the world research in the international science projects related to neural mapping of prim

18、ate brains, he said. However, bio labs from the United States, Japan, and European countries are also very capable, and they will quickly catch up with China after the monkey cloning technology is made public, Sun added.“This means we have to innovate continuously and work extra hard this year to st

19、ay ahead, he said.1、Which of the following is the most important factor in cloning macaques named Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua?AReproductive cells. BSomatic cellsCNeural mapping. DGenetic makeup2、Why is cloning monkeys so difficult?ABecause it is bad for our environment.BBecause each monkey might have di

20、fferent genes.CBecause monkeys genetic makeup is as complicated as humans.DBecause it is too expensive to work on their genetic makeup.3、What is the main idea of Paragraph 8?AThe cure for neural diseases.BThe process of cloning monkeys.CThe significance of cloning monkeys.DThe close relations betwee

22、 increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but changes in temperature, humidity(濕度)and nutrient availability seem to have trumped the benefits of increased carbon dioxide” said researchers from the National University of Singapore.45 percent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes tha

23、n they did in the past. The researchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats, caused by climate change, are possible reasons for shrinking creatures.“ We do not yet know the mechanisms(機制)involved, or why some organism are getting smaller while others are unaffected,” the resea

24、rchers said. “Until we understand more, we could be risking negative consequences that we cant yet quantify. The change is big in cold-blooded animals. Only two decades of warmer temperatures are enough to make retiles (爬行動物)smaller. An increase of only 1 degree centigrade caused nearly a 10 percent

25、 increase in metabolism(新陳代謝). Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards. Fish are smaller now too. Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers, experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growing.Warm-blooded animals arent immune(免除)from the size

26、change caused by climate change. Many birds are now smaller. Soay sheep are thinner. Red deer are weaken And polar bears are smaller, compared with historical records.This is not the first time this has happened in Earths history. 55 million years ago, a warming event similar to the current climate

27、change caused bees, spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to 75 percent over several thousand years. That event happened over a longer time than the current climate change.The speed of modem climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough, especially those with long generation

28、 times climate change will be shown in the future.1、What does the text mainly talk about_AWhy some species become smaller.BHow climate changes in Earths history?CClimate change has many negative effects.DSpecies are becoming smaller as climate gets warmer.2、The underlined word “trumped” m the first

31、e walking toward the first mile, we actually started joining all the runners, he said. Everyone was on the streets, cheering, and that was a magical moment. As time went on, the crowds and other racers spread around. Kindleysides and his team of eight supporters continued walking.Kindleysides, who i

32、s paralyzed(癱瘓的)from the waist down and typically uses a wheelchair, was equipped with an exoskeleton(體外骨骼)to help him walk. His supporters walked with him to change the batteries in his exoskeleton so he could keep moving.In 2013, Kindleysides was diagnosed with a brain tumor (腫瘤) that was growing

33、in a way that pressed on certain nerves, leading to him losing feeling in his legs. He was told he would never walk again. Before his paralysis, the London-based singer and dancer had always wanted to run a marathon, he said, but he never made the plan to do so-until this year.During the London Mara

34、thon, the last two miles were the hardest. At that point, I was exhausted. It was freezing cold, and I was hurting emotionally, Kindleysides said. But he kept going. I didnt want to let people down. I had a team of eight, and I was raising money for The Brain Tumour Charity, he said. I didnt want to

35、 let them down, myself down, and I thought if I would get this far, I would have to continue.So he continued and made history as the first paralyzed man to complete the London Marathon on foot.Then, recovering at home, he shared his accomplishment with his three children. They used to say Im the onl

36、y dad in their whole school whos in a wheelchair, and now they say Im their dad, the only one who has walked a marathon, he said.Kindleysides is training to complete three more marathons next year, including the London Marathon again.1、Why did Kindleysides supporters accompany him all the way?ATo in

37、spire him as a team.BTo help change the batteries.CTo guide him along the road.DTo assist him with the wheelchair.2、What caused Kindleysides disability?AAn accident in the previous marathon.BAn operation on his brain for the tumor.CSome nerves produced out of the tumor.DThe pressure from the brain t

38、umor on the nerves.3、What partly supported Kindleysides to finish the hardest two-mile race?AThe belief to beat others.BThe strong desire to recover.CThe kindness to help the charity.DThe prize money for the winner.4、What can we learn about Kindleysides?AHe was once a successful actor.BHis children

39、feel a pity for him in the wheelchair now.CHe is ambitious for joining in London marathons once more.DHe was the first disabled-man to complete the London Marathon.24（8分） In Asia, there are special competitions where kites have complex designs and are fitted with instruments that make musical sounds

40、 as the wind blows through them. Although all kites have a similar structure (結(jié)構(gòu)), they are widely different in size and shape. Kite-fighting competitions are also held, in which competitors use their kites to attack and bring down their opponents (對手) kites or cut their strings (線).For more than 15

41、 years, the Big Wind Kite Factory has been giving kite-making and kite-flying classes for the children on an island in Hawaii. In its kite-making lessons, students can make kites in as little as 20 minutes! Children as young as four years old can learn how to fly a kite. Jonathan Socher and his wife

42、 Daphne started the kite factory in 1980. Their kites are made of nylon (尼龍). Their designs are Hawaiian themes created by Daphne. The designs are cut out of the nylon with a hot knife that seals the edges and then fastened directly onto the kite.The kite that is used to give lessons is a regular di

43、amond kite with a rainbow pattern. The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a two-string controllable kite. Big Wind employees fly the kite and for a few minutes show students how pulling on one line and then on the other controls the direction the kit

44、e goes in. Then the controls are given to the students.Jonathan insists that it is not necessary to make a huge impressive kite to have fun making and flying kites. Even the simplest structure can work, and can give hours of fun. Go on, give it a try!1、Which of the following is true according to the

45、 text?AA hot knife is used to iron the nylon.BChildren never fly kites on their own in flying lessons.CKite strings must not be cut in kite-fighting competitions.DDaphne designs kites for the Big Wind Kite Factory.2、What is different about the kite used for flying lessons?AIt has two strings.BIt is

In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Bef

48、ore he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didnt have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learn

49、ed to use.He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didnt, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow

50、 cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldnt lose too much water. N

51、ot knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could he huddled (蜷縮) in his cave and slept.The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldnt find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. O

52、n Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls survival show Man vs. Wild. Th

53、ats where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode (一期節(jié)目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.When Gxrylls heard about Nicholas amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nichol
