21、China became the first country to clone a monkey using non-reproductive cells, reducing 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(猕猴) named”Zhong Zhong” and “Hua Hua” by nuclear transferring of somatic cells(体细胞)-any cell in the organism other than reproductive cells.
Tetra, a monkey born in 1999, is the world's 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 and 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(灵长类) that shares its genetic makeup, and therefore all of its complexity, with humans.
For drug and other lab tests, scientists have to purchase 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, and 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 on 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. This is especially useful in testing drugs for neural(神经的) diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, metabolic syndrome(代谢综合症) 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 primate 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 stay ahead," he said.
【1】Which of the following is the most important factor in cloning macaques named "Zhong Zhong" and "Hua Hua"?
A. Reproductive cells. B. Somatic cells
C. Neural mapping. D. Genetic makeup
【2】Why is cloning monkeys so difficult?
A. Because it is bad for our environment.
B. Because each monkey might have different genes.
C. Because monkeys' genetic makeup is as complicated as humans.
D. Because it is too expensive to work on their genetic makeup.
【3】What is the main idea of Paragraph 8?
A. The cure for neural diseases.
B. The process of cloning monkeys.
C. The significance of cloning monkeys.
D. The close relations between monkeys and humans.
【4】What can we infer from this passage?
A. More effective medicine will be produced.
B. Drug trials on lab mice will be abandoned.
C. China is the first country to have cloned monkeys.
D. China will stay ahead of the world in cloning.
22、A family is using a crowdfunding platform to fight against a disease. Every Wednesday, Ashley takes her daughter, 14-year-old Meredith, to Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. “Meredith and I spend each Wednesday going to the hospital, and I’m so thankful for the diagnosis（诊断）. ” Ashley said. “That is a benign tumor（良性肿瘤）and has a high cure rate. Diagnosed in time, it is still a stage one tumor. ”
Ashley said they discovered the tumor a year ago when they went to the eye doctor and were told that something was wrong. “Her doctor noticed that there was a swelling in her left eye, ” Ashley said. Shortly after that, Meredith was diagnosed with the tumor. “It is a stage one tumor, but unfortunately, Meredith’s condition is not suitable for an operation, ” Ashley said. After several treatments in another hospital, Meredith began to get better. “Now I usually hang out with friends, and I like to paint something, ” Meredith said.
According to Meredith’s dad, Brad Lay, the medical bill continues to increase. “It’s very expensive. it is probably around $8,000 every week, ” he said.
A friend at church told Brad about CaringWays, a crowdfunding platform that calls on people to donate money to pay off medical debts, so that families can focus on supporting their sick loved ones. Immediately, Brad filled in some forms on the platform and applied for its help.
Now with the help of the platform, the family is close to reaching the goal, which means a lot to Meredith. “I’m thankful for the support that my family have given me. I also want to thank CaringWays for its timely help. With proper treatments, I think my daughter has a good chance to fully recover, ” Brad said.

23、In a new study published on the Journal of Avian Biology, researchers at the National Autonomous University of Mexico tracked the behavior of house finches (雀) on the main campus of the university, in Mexico City.
The team created an artificial nest lining (内衬), which includes feathers, cotton, hair and cigarette ends. Then, after the birds' eggs had hatched, they replaced the original lining with the new one, to make sure the nests were pest free. The researchers then added live ticks to the mix, while dead ticks were added to other linings.
It seems that urban house finches use more cigarette ends to line their nests when they've been invaded by ticks. And, those whose nests were given live ticks increased their cigarette end weight by about 40 percent more than those where dead ticks had been used, according to New Scientist. The technique is likely a form of self-medication, the experts explain, as it's thought that the chemicals in cigarette ends can help to keep off the pests.
While this behavior may have its benefits, the researchers say it's also possible that the use of cigarette ends in the nests could have negative effects. "It is a matter of concern that cigarette ends, being poisonous, are part of house finch nests in Mexico City," the authors explain in the paper," but we have not come across evidence of long-term costs of using this material."
According to the researchers, a thorough evaluation will be necessary to determine the real effects of using cigarette ends, whether they are positive or not. But they explain, the findings do suggest that the cigarette ends are linked to the presence of ticks and likely play a role in keeping them away.
【1】What does the underlined phrase "the mix" in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The former nests.
B．The artificial lining.
C．The cigarette ends.
D．The original lining.
【2】What did house finches do when live ticks were found in their nests?
A．Eat them out.
B．Dust them off.
C．Build firmer nests.
D．Use more cigarette ends.
【3】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The findings of the experiment.
B．The application of the research findings.
C．The theory related to the recent research.
D．The reasons for house finches using cigarette ends.
【4】Which word best describes the author's attitude to the study?
A．Skeptical.
B．Conservative.
C．Objective.
D．Tolerant.
24、My mother, a nurse at Stony Brook University Hospital, worked at night so that she could come home in time to send me to school. She'd sleep during the day and be ready when we returned home before heading out again in the evening. This went on for 23 years. She never complained (抱怨). No matter how tired she was, she always had enough energy to be my mom.
She often had to work on Christmas, Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve, and sometimes Thanksgiving, which made me upset. However, before holidays she always decorated the inside and outside of our house. She'd also have cookies baking in the oven, a holiday-themed movie in the VCR, and music playing throughout our house for us. But when it was time to go to work, there was no room for debate. “Why do you have to work on this day of all days?" I'd ask sadly. "They need me, too, dear son," she'd respond, compassion (同情) in her tone.
For a long time I didn't understand why she should care so much about those sick strangers. Recently, as my grandmother became ill, I found myself spending more time in hospitals. The scenes I saw in the hospital made me see the different side of my mother. The nurses checked heart, blood and oxygen levels, made sure patients were comfortable. They lifted patients in and out of bed and helped them to the bathroom. Beyond their duties, the nurses displayed consideration for each patient.
What I saw helped me to understand why my mother was devoted to her occupation. I was filled with more admiration for my mother.
【1】Why did the author's mother work in the evening?

25、Like many young Chinese, Zuo had been raised from a young age to be “a good student”. As long as she followed the rules and worked hard, money and success would naturally followed. Zuo had followed the instructions to the_________. She aced exam after exam, winning a place at a prestigious college inBeijing. However, when Zuo sent out a sea of job applications , She didn’t just fail to_________her preferred role; she didn’t receive a single_________.
For Zuo, the failure came as a crushing_________. Being a high flier, she was emotionally unprepared for such a setback. She struggled with anxiety for months: unable to sleep,_________ by guilt, and feeling compelled to repeatedly apologize to her parents and teachers.
But the ordeal (磨难) has left a profound impression on Zuo. The former teacher’s pet has transformed into a passionate_________of what she calls the ”good student mentality.“ In January, Zuo set up a group on Douban named “Victims of the Good Student Mentality,” and it has quickly attracted a passionate following.
“Good students” like Zuo tend to be_________vulnerable (脆弱的) to mental health issues. Successive studies have found that high achievers are more likely to_________ anxiety, depression than the general population. This is because high achievers like Zuo often excessively rely on _________ validation (认可) to support their self-esteem, leaving them unable to cope with setbacks. Over time, students __________ the externa world’s evaluation criteria as their own standard for self-assessment.
It’s clear that a diverse range of young people can__________victim to the “good student mentality.” Luckily, in Chinese education system, there is growing __________that student anxiety is a serious problem. A teacher in Shanghai, surnamed Dong, tells that “the good student mentality” is becoming ever more prevalent, with well behaved, introverted children__________seeking praise and awards as a way to __________their self esteem. If they fail to meet the school’s incredibly high standards, there’s a risk that it will trigger an emotional __________.Hence, Zuo recently wrote a welcome message offering new members some advice: “Be kind to yourself; challenge the norms; treat yourself well.“ And, most importantly:” You can be a “bad” kid.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Jane, a lovely girl, had a very sweet family. Although the second oldest, Jane had the least self - control, and had hard times trying to control her bad temper, which was continually getting her into trouble. Poor Jane tried desperately to be better, but her inner enemy was always ready to flame up and defeat her, and her mother was always the first to come to her rescue.
Jane had just finished the draft of her first book, which was regarded as a pride of the whole family, expecting it was good enough to print. To celebrate this big event, Jane and the other two sisters planned to go to the theatre to see The Seven Castles. They didn't want to take Amy, the youngest, with them. Seeing that they were leaving, Amy begged them not to leave her alone and even offered to buy her own ticket herself, but in vain. “You can't sit with us, for our seats are reserved, and you mustn't sit alone, and that will spoil our pleasure,” scolded Jane, crosser than ever. Sitting on the floor, Amy began to cry.
The girls hurried down, leaving their sister crying. Amy forgot her grown - up ways, and acted like a spoilt child. She called over the banisters (扶手), in a threatening tone, “You'll be sorry for this, Jane March; see if you aren't.” “You dare!?” said Jane, slamming the door.
They had a happy time, for The Seven Castles was as brilliant and wonderful as heart could wish. But, in spite of the gorgeous princes and princesses, Jane's pleasure had a drop of bitterness in it. The fairy queen's yellow hair reminded her of Amy with wondering what her sister would do to make her “Sorry for it.”
When they got home, Jane found Amy reading in the sitting room. Jane assumed an injured air as they came in but everything was in its place. Jane decided that Amy had forgiven and forgotten her wrongs.
Jane was mistaken, for the next day she found her book missing.
