22、 Nine-year-old Patches the Dachshund was saved by a 3D-printed skull she received after the removal of an orange-sized tumor (肿瘤).
Patches had a small bump on her head for years. Her owner took her to see vets before ending up in the hands of Dr. Michelle Oblak.
Dr. Oblak had been researching 3D-printing uses for dogs. According to Oblak, a dog in Patches’ situation would need an expensive operation where the animal’s tumor and skull would be removed and then replaced. However, Oblak believed Patches was the ideal candidate to receive it.
Dymeck, Patches’ owner, said that she was hesitant (犹豫的), but the potential to help others convinced her. “They felt she could recover from this,” Dymeck said. “And to be part of research was a big thing for me – if they can learn something from animals to help humans, that’s important.”
The brand new method used to save Patches’ life started with a CT scan of her tumor. Then, Oblak and her team digitally removed the tumor in Patches’ skull. After that, they mapped out what the 3D-printed skull piece would look like and where it would fit on the dog. “There’s little room for error,” Oblak explained. “We’re talking less than two millimeters or else the plate wouldn’t fit.”
After everything was drawn out, Oblak sent the designs over to the 3D-printing company and just two weeks later Patches’ customized skull (定制的头骨) was ready. Then Patches went under the knife. After a four-hour operation, the dog was back to herself. Patches is now cancer-free. She has a scar on her head but it seems like a small price to pay for the life-saving operation.
“Our hope is this is something that could be more widely available on a broad scale,” Oblak said. “It went very well.”
【1】What exactly is Patches?
A.A pet. B.A doctor.
C.A servant. D.A patient.
【2】What was the problem with Patches?
A.She had a headache. B.Her skull was broken.
C.She suffered from a cancer. D.Her head was covered with scars.
【3】Which word can best describe Dymeck？
A.Experienced. B.Responsible.
C.Unselfish. D.Talented.
【4】What can we learn about the operation from the passage?
A.A small error happened. B.It cost Oblak a lot of money.
C.It was challenging and demanding. D.A CT scan mapped out the 3D skull piece.
23、I have worked as a keeper at the National Zoo for 11 years. Spot and Stripe are the first tiger cubs (幼兽) that have ever been born here. Globally, a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don’t make it to adulthood, so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home.
I’ve got two children—the younger one, Kynan, was extremely happy about the tigers arriving—but all of us really looked forward to being part of their lives and watching them grow. I wasn’t worried about bringing them into my home with my wife and kids. These were cubs. They weighed about 2.5kg and were so small that there was absolutely no risk.
As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely around the house during the day, but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room, otherwise they’d get up to mischief. We’d come down in the morning to find they’d turned the room upside down, and left it looking like a zoo.
Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them. There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired. I was grateful that my family was there to help. We had to have a bit of a production line going, making up “riser milk”, washing baby bottles, and cleaning the floors.
When Spot and Stripe were four months old, they were learning how to open doors and jump fences, and we knew it really was time for them to go. It was hard for us to finally part with them. For the first few days, Kynan was always a bit disappointed that the cubs weren’t there.
I’m not sad about it. I’m hands-on with them every day at the zoo, and I do look back very fondly on the time that we had them.

【4】Why did the author decide to send Spot and Stripe back to the zoo?

B．They became difficult to contain.

D．They started fighting each other.
24、 On Tuesday night, September 11, 2018, Jews will begin celebrating one of their most important religious holidays, Rosh Hashanah(犹太新年), during which apples covered with honey are a sign of a sweet new year. Many Jews eat honey cakes or carrots cooked in honey to start the new year.
It takes up to two million flowers and 556 bees to make one pound of honey. A hive(蜂房) of bees have to fly over 55,000 miles, gathering nectar(花蜜) from all kinds of flowers, to produce a pound of honey: that’s over twice around the world! A worker bee visits between 50 and 100 flowers on each nectar-gathering trip. In total, a worker bee makes about 1/12 of a teaspoon in his lifetime.
Honey is the only food widely used by humans that’s made by animals. Honey is one of the two products produced by animals that are clean and contain neither milk nor meat. The other is human milk for babies. However, modern doctors alert mothers against feeding babies on honey because it can lead very young children to illness, which probably does much harm to them.
In Israel’s northern region, archeologists(考古学家) found the oldest beehives, dating from the 10th century BC, over 3,000 years ago. Made up of about 100 beehives, they seemed to have produced about half a ton of honey every year. Israel is called “a land that flows with milk and honey” in the Bible. Today, Israel produces about 3,500 tons of honey every year. Israelis eat about 1,600 tons of honey each year on Rosh Hashanah. That’s nearly half of their total honey for the entire year. That isn’t too much compared with Americans; an American eats about 1.31 pounds of honey each year.
Honey is central to a beautiful Jewish tradition carried out in many communities on the first day of preschool. As children prepare to learn letters, they are shown the letters covered with a block of honey. As the children lick off the honey, they learn their first valuable lesson that studying is sweet.
【1】What’s the second paragraph mainly about?
A.How hard it is for honey to be produced.
B.How many bees make one pound of honey.
C.How much honey a worker bee makes in its life.
D.How far a hive of bees have to fly to gather nectar.
【2】The underlined word “alert” in the 3rd paragraph probably means ________.
A.applaud B.undertake C.warn D.adapt
【3】What did the archeologists’ finding of the oldest beehives in Israel show?
A.Israel was a great country in ancient time. B.Israelis have enjoyed honey for a long time.
C.Israelis were those who tried honey first. D.Israel produced much honey in the past.
【4】When do Jews probably eat most honey each year?
A.On their new year. B.When they gather honey.
C.On the first day of preschool. D.When they celebrate the birth of a child.
【5】What does the writer mainly tell us through the passage?
A.A traditional food of honey. B.The history of producing honey.
C.Some difficulties in producing honey. D.Some interesting facts about honey.
