21、 Le Trung, 33, has spent ￡14,000 creating Aiko, who he describes as “in her 20s” with a 32, 33 figure, shiny hair and delicate features.
She can speak English and Japanese and is so accomplished at mathematics she can do Mr Trung’s accounts.Mr Trung, from Brampton in Ontario，Canada，said he has never had time to find a real partner—so he designed and created his ideal woman using the latest technology.
The former software programmer has taken out credit cards and loans, sold his car and spent his life savings on perfecting his “fembot”.
Now he is desperate to find a corporate sponsor to help him complete and perfect Aiko.
He said : “Aiko is what happens when science meets beauty. I want to make her look, feel and act as human as possible so she can be the perfect companion. I talk to her a lot, and hope to improve her knowledge. So far she can understand and speak 13, 000 different sentences in English and Japanese, so she’s already fairly intelligent. Aiko recognises faces and says hello when any of my family comes around to visit. She helps me pick what to have for dinner and knows what drinks I like. She even helps me with directions when we're going somewhere. When I need to do my accounts, Aiko does all the maths. She is very patient and never complains. She doesn’t need holidays, food or rest and she will work almost 24 hours a day. She is the perfect woman.”
Mr Trung has designed Aiko with touch-sensitive face and body so she reacts in a natural way if she is shown affection or hurt. He said: “She has all senses except for smell.”
【1】Le Trung created Aiko to______.
A.be his life partner B.show his programing ability

22、 AIDS may be one of the most undesirable diseases in the world. Luckily, there is now hope for AIDS patients. According to a recent paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine, Chinese scientists have successfully used CRISPR technology-a method of gene editing-to treat a patient with HIV. While it may not have cured the patient fully, it still represents a huge step forward in fighting the disease.
The patient was a 27-year-old Chinese man who was diagnosed with both AIDS and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a type of blood cancer. Despite his bleak situation, doctors offered him a glimmer of hope: a bone marrow (骨髓) transplant to treat his cancer and an experimental treatment for his HIV.
They edited the DNA in bone marrow stem cells from a donor before transplanting the cells into the patient. Specifically, the treatment involved using the gene-editing tool CRISPR-Cas9 to delete a gene known as CCRS, which encodes a protein that HIV uses to get inside human cells. Without the gene, HIV is unable to enter cells. Talking about the gene, lead scientist Deng Hongkui told CNN, “After being edited, the cells-and the blood cells they produce-have the ability to resist HIV infection.” Nineteen months after the treatment, the patient’s leukemia was in complete relief and donor cells without CCR5 remained, according to the research paper.
Though the transplant did not cure the man’s HIV, it still showed the effectiveness of gene-editing technology, as there was no indication of any unintended genetic alterations (改变) -a major concern with past gene therapy experiments.
Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in the United States, who was not involved in the study, praised the treatment. “They did a very innovative experiment, it was safe,” he told Live Science. “It should be viewed as a success.”
Deng believes gene-editing technology could “bring a new dawn” to blood-related diseases such as AIDS and sickle cell anemia. Thanks to this new technology, “the goal of a functional cure for AIDS is getting closer and closer,” he said.
【1】How did the new treatment fight against HIV?
A.By preventing HIV from entering cells. B.By changing the structure of HIV.
C.By removing a protein that HIV feeds on. D.By identifying and killing HIV.
【2】What was the result of the treatment?
A.CCR5 and other genes in the patient’s cells were changed.
B.Some of the patient’s blood cells could resist HIV infection.
C.HIV could no longer get into the patient’s cells.
D.The donor cells without CCR5 disappeared finally.
【3】What do we know about the experiment?
A.It has provided an innovative way to cure AIDS patients.
B.It pointed out the problems of gene therapy for AIDS.
C.It’s the first experiment to use gene-editing technology to treat AIDS.
D.It could offer a safe treatment for blood-related diseases.
23、 J. K. Rowling is a British author of the Harry Potter series of books. She composed much of her first work, Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone in a poor situation, often planning out her chapters in cafes near her small apartment in Edinburgh.
Previous to Rowling penning the Harry Potter books, her life was full of struggle and loss. Her mother died in 1990 because of a disease. Her first marriage, to Jorje Arrantes in 1992, ended just over a year later. Unable to find work, Rowling struggled to support herself and her daughter on State Aid assistance. Her financial circumstances would not change until the late 1990s, when the Harry Potter series went beyond all expectations for success. Aided by the Scottish Arts Council, Rowling was able to complete her first novel, but initial encouragement from publishers was actually non-existent. She was told to find a day job, and the UK publisher, Bloomsbury, firstly published only 1000 copies of the novel, titled in the UK as Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone.
Within a half year of its publication in 1997, the novel achieved its first award, the Nestle Smarties Book Prize. A few months, later, it received the British Book Award for Best Children’s Book of The Year. By 1998, Scholastic purchased publication rights, and Rowling, now on her third part of the series, was enjoying great success.
The popularity of the series has made Rowling the most popular children’s author ever. The interest in the books from both adults and children aroused the enthusiastic reading among younger children eager for the next part of Harry’s adventures.
Queen Elizabeth II honored Rowling in 2000, titling her as an Officer of the British Empire. She remarried in 2001, to Dr. Neil Murray, with whom she has two children, David and Mackenzie. In her public life, she devotes time to causes dear to her, including relieving world poverty, and funding research towards medicine.

24、A new study shows that increases in extreme winter weather in parts of the US are linked to quickened warming of the Arctic (北极).
Over the past four decades, warming in the Arctic has been far more definite than that in the rest of the world and has caused a rapid decrease of summer sea ice. Heating in the Arctic has ultimately disturbed the circular pattern of winds known as the polar vortex (旋涡). As a result, it got stretched out of shape and slid southward off the pole. Scientists believe this vortex stretching process led to the deadly Texas cold wave in February this year.
“The polar vortex over the Arctic usually locks in cold air at the poles and does not easily move south. The stronger the winds, the more the air inside is kept, and the colder it gets,” explained lead researcher Dr. Judah Cohen, who’s a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). “Melting (融化) ice in the Arctic and rising temperatures can disturb the Arctic vortex, making cold air no longer locked in the Arctic? but move some farther south.”
The researchers say that their findings are based on both observations and modelling and they show a physical link between climate change in the Arctic, the stretching of the polar vortex and the impacts on ground.
The researchers believe their work could improve predictions about the beginning of extreme cold winter events. The research team also believes that their findings will help people understand that global warming is complex and perhaps let go of the idea that colder winters mean climate change isn’t happening. “In the past, these cold extremes over the US and Russia have been used to justify not reducing carbon, but there’s no longer any excuse to not start reducing emissions (排放) right away,’’ said Dr. Cohen.
【1】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．The efforts made by scientists.
B．The definition of polar vortex.
C．The decrease of summer sea ice.
D．The formation of Texas cold wave.
【2】What is the function of polar vortex?
A．Making the wind stronger.
B．Helping cold air move freely.
C．Speeding up the melting of ice.
D．Keeping cold air from escaping.
【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Global warming is just alarmist.
B．Weather-gone-wild pattern is a fantasy.
C．Reducing emissions is a pressing matter.
D．Weather forecast has never been a perfect science.
【4】In which column of a website can the text probably be found?
A．Environment.
B．Travel.
C．Education.
D．Life.
