26、With their furry round heads and big black eyes, Zhongzhong and Huahua look just the same as any other monkey. But they happen to be the world’s first cloned (克隆的) monkeys.
Years ago, scientists used cloning techniques to produce Dolly, the world’s first cloned mammal (哺乳动物).They now used the same technique to produce the monkeys in China.
In animal cloning, animals are produced in a lab by using DNA that is taken from the cells (细胞) of a naturally-born animal. To clone Zhongzhong and Huahua, scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS.中国科学院) first removed the nucleus (细胞核) from a monkey’s egg cell (卵细胞). They then put another nucleus taken from the monkey’s body cells into the egg cell. The newly-formed egg was put into the womb (子宫) of a female monkey. Finally, Zhongzhong and Huahua were born.
The cloning process is hard, especially removing nucleus. It needs to be done in a fast and precise (精确的) way. The faster you do it, the less damage is done to the egg, according to CAS. Scientist Liu Zhen spent three years practicing removing the nucleus.
Unlike common monkeys, cloned monkeys have the same DNA as each other. When doing experiments on them, scientists can easily know that certain results are caused by different treatments, rather than different genes.
According to Sun Qiang from CAS, most drug trials (药物试验) are done on lab mice. However, drugs that work on mice might not work on humans. The two species are very different.
“Monkeys and humans are much closely related and testing on monkeys is supposed to be as effective (有效的) as testing on humans,” Sun added.
【1】Zhongzhong and Huahua are ______.
A. naturally-born monkeys
B. the world’s first cloned mammals
C. the world’s first cloned monkeys
D. twin sheep that were born by Dolly
【2】What do we know about the two monkeys?
A. They look different from other monkeys.
B. They have the same DNA.
C. Their body cells don’t have any nucleus.
D. They can live for only three years.
【3】What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Removing the nucleus is difficult.
B. The cloning process is very safe.
C. It took three years to remove the nucleus.
D. It is impossible to clone other animals.
【4】Why do scientists want to do drug tests on monkeys?
A. Because it’s easier to use them for tests.
B. Because there are not enough mice.
C. Because drugs work well on monkeys.
D. Because monkeys are similar to humans.

29、Parisians have always been known for their courage and enthusiasm. They are very generous and trusting. The culture of communication is well developed among the local people, as they are taught to establish contact with others from early childhood. Here in Paris it is believed that a quiet and modest (谦逊的) person will never succeed even if he or she is very talented and smart.
Visitors are advised to learn at least a bit of French before their trip. If locals see a traveler who tries to communicate using the native language, they start respecting this person and are ready to help. It is worth remembering that even fluent English will cause only a sense of contempt (蔑视) among locals.

June 21 is the day of a famous music festival in particular—this event attracts many music lovers from different countries of the world.

A beautiful military parade(阅兵) is a necessary part of Bastille Day. The first mention about this celebration was made in 1789. The holiday ends up with grand fireworks.
In early February, the city of Paris is filled with collectors of antique (古董的) cars. The exhibition of antique cars is held in the center of Porte de Versailles, where you can see antique cars and details about them as well as communicate with interesting people.
Paris can impress anyone with its cultural richness and diversity. In this magical city, something interesting happens all the time.

32、阅读下面材料,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
They say that “a picture is worth a thousand words”, but the briefest look at books and the movies based on them would have anyone questioning this common saying. All too often, great words end up being turned into cinematic “turkeys”.
Good movies need good stories. If so, why has one of the earliest and greatest works in Western storytelling, Homer’s The Odysey, never had an equally great movie based on it? Movies need strong characters. So why have the movies based on The Great Gatsby never been praised as “great”? Movies of course need impressive images, so why has Alice in Wonderland only resulted in movies best described as “interesting”?
One of the key reasons behind this is that while a book usually takes a few days to read, a movie typically lasts under two hours. This means that great books can lose plot details and characters when they move to the big screen. This is something that even the highly successful Harry Potter movies can’t escape from, with fans of the books disappointed not to see some of their favourite characters in the movie version.
Movies also disappoint us when things don’t look the way we imagined them in the books. Take, for example, the epic movie Troy, which is in part based on Homer’s The Iliad and was met with mixed reviews from the audience. The most questionable issue was the actress chosen to play the part of Helen. Many people thought she didn’t live up to Helen’s title of “the most beautiful” woman in the world, influencing opinions of the movie to some extent.
There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes. Furthermore, books and movies are two different forms of media and therefore have different rules. With this in mind, perhaps we should judge a movie in its own right, and not against its original source. Interestingly, audiences have in recent years turned to television series such as Sherlock or Mad Men, which can have many characters and gradual plot development. Perhaps, one day, readers of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s most admired work will find themselves glued to their screens by episodes of The Great Gatsby.
