21、Last year Congress issued a moral call to action when it ordered the National Institutes of Health to reevaluate its ethical oversight (伦理上的疏忽) of government-funded primate (灵长类) research. Although the scientific community widely sees nonhuman primates as essential for advances in biomedicine (they have caused major gains in the fights against AIDS and neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s, for example), researchers agree more can be done to treat the animals more humanely and conduct research less wastefully. To that end, the NIH gathered famous scientists last September to discuss the future of primate-based research—and they agreed that data sharing is the way forward.
Researchers could reduce experiments on nonhuman primates by studying data that have already been collected to answer new questions, says David O’Connor, a pathologist at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. O’Connor is walking the walk: his laboratory studies the Zika virus in primates, and he immediately posts all the results online. The goal is to figure out ways to fight Zika as quickly as possible without placing an undue burden on research primates. The Seattle-based Allen Institute for Brain Science, which uses rhesus macaques, small South Asian monkeys, to study the molecular basis of brain development, also makes all results public. O’Connor says this practice should be more widespread so that “researchers who are using this scarce but vital resource can learn as much as possible from as few animals as necessary.” Still, he is skeptical that data sharing will catch on because it would require a change in “normative behavior”—science’s strong culture of secrecy, in which data are kept under wraps until they are published in a peer-reviewed journal. One step toward full transparency is to follow the lead of human clinical trials, says Christine Grady, a bioethicist at the NIH. U.S. law requires most clinical trials to register online and make their results public, even if a study fails or is inconclusive. This ensures that other researchers can learn from a trial regardless of its results—a move that could also safeguard primates against being used for the same thing twice. Nancy Haigwood, director of the Oregon National Primate Research Center, also says data sharing is “the way of the future.” Her center hosts 4,800 primates to study a variety of human diseases. She currently contributes results from her center to O’Connor’s Web site. “I don’t see a drawback,” she says. “We have to share data more quickly.”
【1】What does Congress think of the primate research?
A．It has done a great deal of good to advances in biomedicine.
B．It is a huge waste of money to conduct research on primates.
C．Primate-based research must be stopped for moral reasons.
D．Proper attention should be given to treating primates humanely.
【2】The underlined phrase “walking the walk” in Paragraph 2 shows that O’Connor _______.
A．is the leader in fighting Zika virus in primates
B．is walking away from his own responsibility
C．is carrying out what he has said he should do
D．is taking a tough road when posting his data
【3】According to O’Connor, what might prevent scientists from sharing their data?
A．The deep-rooted culture that data should be kept secret until published.
B．The fact that scientists are reluctant to change their way of research.
C．The requirement that most clinical trials should be registered online.
D．The fear that they will be laughed at if a study fails or is inconclusive.
【4】What could be the best title for the passage?
A．The Merciless Practice of Primate Research
B．To Treat Primates More Humanely: Transparency
C．To Abandon Experiments on Primates: Final Goal
D．The Burden of Research on Nonhuman Primates
22、In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fairweather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck，but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character，especially understanding, honesty and reliability(信任)．
Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.
At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.
Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor，he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding，I know I’ve found a friend!
【1】Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?

B. you will be refused when you get into trouble

A. Three. B. Four.

23、 The recent high-profile movie Crazy Rich Asians shows a side of Singapore that most people-not even Singaporeans — don’t get to see. While the story is largely set in Singapore, filming took place both in the city state and neighbouring Malaysia. Attractions such as Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands and Malaysia’s heritage Cheong Fatt Sze Mansion appeal to people.
Crazy Rich Asians is by no means the only movie to be filmed in these areas. Here are five international films that you may not have known were set or filmed in Singapore or Malaysia.
1. EQUALS (2015)
In this sci-fi romance, Singapore serves as the location of an apocalyptic (世界末日的) society. Viewers can catch glimpses of the Marina Barrage, Singapore Botanic Gardens, and the spectacular Henderson Waves at Southern Ridges bridge.
2. ROGUE TRADER (1999)
Based on the true story of British investment broker Nick Leeson, it is about how he lost $2.2 billion through risky trades in Singapore and brought down Barings, Britain’s oldest merchant bank. Leeson wrote the book that the film is based on while serving a prison sentence. The movie has scenes of Rales Hotel and the Central Business District.
3. SAINT JACK (1979)
This controversial adaptation of Paul Theroux’s novel was groundbreaking in that it was the first Hollywood movie to be filmed entirely on location in Singapore — without government approval, though.
4. LUST, CAUTION (2007)
Directed by Oscar-winner Ang Lee, this spy thriller, set in Hong Kong and Shanghai during the 1930s and 1940s, is about a group of students who plan to assassinate (刺杀) an intelligence chief. Locations in Ipoh and Penang in Malaysia were used for this time period due to their prewar architecture.
5. ENTRAPMENT (1999)
This thriller shows Kuala Lumpur’s Petronas Twin Towers several times. However, the then Malaysian Prime Minister was reportedly displeased that the film showed the great landmark next to small dirty houses — in reality, they are surrounded by large, luxurious gardens.
【1】What can be learned about Nick Leeson?
A. He acted in the movie ROGUE TRADER.
B. He was put into prison after his risky trade.
C. He was asked to write a book for a movie.
D. He was one of Britain’s oldest businessmen.
【2】The movie LUST, CAUTION was shot in Malaysia because of ________.
A. the complex plot of the story
B. some thrilling scenes in the movie
C. some particular buildings in the country
D. the director’s preference for the country
【3】What do the five international films mentioned above have in common?
A. They showed a dark side of Singapore.
B. They became Oscar winners in the end.
C. They were shot in Singapore or Malaysia.
D. They were directed by world-famous directors.
24、 Each summer, Craig Stihler and Jack Wallace, scientists for the state of West Virginia hike to Peacock Cave to count Virginia big-eared bats. 【1】. They want to see if the number of bats is going up or down.
I was there to learn about the bats for my book. After we arrived at the small entrance to Peacock Cave, Craig and Jack unpacked their equipment. Crale said, “【2】 .Hibernating (冬眠)bats may be awakened and fly around and burn up the fat they've stored in their bodies. Without that food supply, they might not live until spring when they can eat insects again. And bat mothers may drop their babies. “
As night settled in，they set up a night-vision scope (观察仪器）.【3】 .They also set up a radio-like bat detector outside the cave. It picks up bat sounds that our ears can’t hear. For the next two hours, Craig counted the bats by speaking into a handheld voice recorder each time five bats flew out of the cave. By the time the last bat left the cave at about 10:30 p. m., Craig and Jack had counted 1,242 bats! 【4】 .Craig explained that when the first count was taken at Peacock Cave in 1983, there were only 160 Virginia big-eared bats. Projects to help protect bats have helped the bats make a remarkable comeback. Today the total number of Virginia big-eared bats there are more than 25,000.
【5】 .They will continue to need human’s help if they are going to survive into the future.
A.Why do they do so?
B.It allows them to see the bats in darkness.
C.Virginia big-eared bats are medium-sized.
D.Bats are important because they eat insects.
E.They want to catch some bats for their research.
F.Bats living in caves can suffer if disturbed by people.
G.That was the most Craig and Jack had ever counted there.
