Tip: 【3】 Learning shouldn’t be boring. Read each text several times to make sure you understand how to use new words and expressions in the text.
● Improve your grammar.
Grammar is very important because it improves the quality (质量) of your writing.
Tip: 【4】 The first time, look for general mistakes and the second time look for mistakes with the grammar point you are studying at the moment.

22、A team of scientists in the United States has created a new type of mouse that has an immune system similar to that of humans. The scientists hope their research with these mice will speed up the development of a vaccine to prevent HIV.
Scientists from the Ragon Institute of Massachusetts General Hospital, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard are carrying out the new research. Earlier research has shown that certain people with HIV have immune systems that do better at controlling the AIDS virus. These individuals are commonly known as “elite controllers”. They often live longer with the virus and have fewer problems early on.
Todd Allen is one of the lead writers of the new study, which was published in Science Translational Medicine. Todd Allen said, “Some people are able to control HIV very well, to very low copies. And what we know is that they express a certain type of host genetics (宿主基因) that dictate that they target very important regions of the virus.” By using the experimental mice, the researchers hope to learn what it is about the immune systems of these “elite controllers” that cause them to deal with the HIV virus better than others.
The “humanized” mice were created using stem cells and tissue from human donors. Some of this tissue was taken from liver and thymus tissue. The thymus is a large gland at the bottom of the throat. It trains T-cells to attack unwelcome bacteria, thus protecting the body from infection. When the scientists infected the so-called “humanized” mice with the HIV virus, the T-cell reaction in the mice was the exact same as that of humans.
Todd Allen says the experiments with the “humanized” mice correctly reflected what happens in humans with the AIDS virus. Mr. Allen and the other researchers hope further studies with the “humanized” mice will lead to an HIV vaccine.
【1】Which of the following about “elite controllers” is true?
A．They live longer with the AIDS virus.
B．They are easily infected by the AIDS virus.
C．They are weak in controlling the AIDS virus.
D．They have the same immune systems as mice.
【2】What can be learned from the “humanized” mice experiments?
A．They found mice share most human genes.
B．They improved the immune systems of humans.
C．They helped scientists successfully develop HIV vaccine.
D．They showed what goes on in humans with the AIDS virus.
【3】What is the text mainly about?
A．A newly found cure for AIDS.
B．The immune system of “humanized” mice.
C．Researchers’ hope for a future HIV vaccine.
D．New researches to make the HIV Vaccine develop faster.

25、I still remember my first fishing experience as if it were but yesterday. I have been _________ many times in my life (like when I got admitted to the best school), but never more intensely so than when I received that first fishing _________ from my uncle.
My uncle, who knew by long _________ where pickerel (梭鱼) would gather, _________ placed me at the most favorable point. I threw out my line and waited anxiously for a bite, _________ the float up and down rapidly on the surface of the water. But nothing came of it. "Try again," said my uncle. Suddenly the float _________ out of sight. "Now for it," thought I, "here is a fish at last."
I made a strong pull, only to bring up a tangle of weeds. Again and again I cast out my line with aching arms, and drew it back empty. I looked at my uncle _________ . "Try once more," he said.“We fishermen must have _________ .”
Suddenly something tugged at my line, and swept off with it into deep water. Pulling it up quickly, I saw a fine pickerel wriggling (扭动) in the sun. "Uncle!”I cried, looking back in uncontrollable _________ , "I've got a fish!” "Not yet," said my uncle. Just then, I saw the scared fish shooting into the middle of the stream, my hook hung __________ from the line. I had lost my prize.
My heart sank with it and I felt like a failure. We tend to speak of the __________ of childhood as matters of little importance __________ those of grown-ups. Controlled by reason and self-respect, the sorrows of grown-ups __________ the social customs and rules of conduct __________ the sorrows of childhood are a complete abandonment to the passion. The doll's nose is broken, and the whole world __________ with it.
So, overcome with my bitter disappointment, I refused to be __________ , even by my uncle's guarantee that there were more fish in the river. He refitted my bait, and, putting the pole again in my hands, told me to try my luck once more.
"But remember, boy," he said, with a smile, "it's no use to boast of (自夸) anything before it's done, nor then, either, __________ it speaks for itself."
How often I have been reminded of the fish that I did not catch __________! When I hear people talking about their distant aims as if they had already been achieved, I call to mind that __________ by the riverside, and the wise caution of my uncle takes the form of a proverb of __________ application: "NEVER BOAST OF YOUR FISH BEFORE YOU CATCH HIM."
