21、 Scientist at University College London have discovered sets of regulatory genes, which are responsible for maintaining healthy hearing. The finding, made in fruit flies, could lead to treatments for age-related hearing loss (ARHL) in humans.
Globally, one-third of people aged over 65 experience hearing impairment, and while there are thought to be more than 150 genes that may affect hearing loss, there is no unified (统一的) view on how to use these to develop hearing loss treatments.
In the study, published in Scientific Reports, researchers are at the UCL Ear Institute assessed the hearing ability of the common fruit fly across its life span (around 70 days) to see if their hearing declines with age.
A fruit fly’s ears share many molecular (分子的) similarities with the ears of humans, making it an ideal tool for the study of human hearing loss.
Researchers found that the antennal ears of fruit flies also display ARHL with nearly all sensitive hearing measures starting to decline after 50 days of age. This made the researchers want to know if there were any “age-variable” genes in the flies’ inner ears which have kept the ears healthy for 50 days of their lives.
After closer examination, researchers identified a new set of regulatory genes-homeostasis genes. These genes are often responsible for picking up sound and the overall sensitivity of the ear. Using this information, scientists were then able to genetically modify (修改) the genes and prevent the flies from getting ARHL.
Professor Joerg Albert, lead author of the study, said: “While many studies have been conducted into the hearing function of fruit flies, ours is the first to look at the mechanistic and molecular detail of their auditory life course.”
“The fact that these genes are conserved in humans will also help to focus future clinical research in humans and thereby accelerate the discovery of new pharmacological or gene-therapeutic strategies.”
【1】What did scientists at UCL discover?
A．One-third of people aged over 65 have hearing problems.
B．Homeostasis genes maintain one’s ability to hear.
C．There are regulatory genes that are related to aging.
D．Humans have over 150 genes that can affect hearing loss.
【2】Why were fruit flies used in the research?
A．Their hearing system is similar to that of humans’.
B．Their hearing ability also declines with age.
C．They display ARHL during their lifespan.
D．They share many genes with humans.
【3】What is the main purpose of the last two paragraphs?
A．The discovery of new treatments.
B．The significance of the study.
C．The result of the study.
D．The future commercial prospects.
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

B．Hearing loss: a common problem for older adults.
C．Gene discovery could lead to hearing loss treatments.
D．The body’s ability can be unlocked to treat lost hearing.
22、 For much of the past hundred years, classrooms have been designed with the teacher seated in front of desks for students. But many educators now say children can do better in a less structured environment.
Bob Pearlman works as an education consultant in the United States. He told The Associate Press that traditional classrooms are a thing of the past. Now students work in 'extended learning areas" that in elude project planning rooms, workrooms, and laboratories, as well as learning spaces for groups and individuals. Pearlman points to Albemarle County Public Schools, in Charlottesville, Virginia. The school system invited teams from all its schools to develop learning spaces that would help students deal with complex ideas and work on creative building projects. Now, its elementary school classes have exchanged traditional desks for things like soft seating and connectable tables.
Another change to the design of classrooms is the ability to connect to the Internet. " Classrooms, libraries, and laboratories used to be the only spaces where students spent their school hours. Wireless, laptops and project learning have changed that," Pearlman said. He noted that this has made all school spaces into possible extended learning areas.
David Thornburg, who wrote the book From the Campfire to the Holodeck, said Pearlman's concept catered to the students' need. He said schools should provide spaces based on how humans learn. That could mean one room is used in different ways at different times, or in different ways at the same time.
Earp is with Teacher magazine, a publication of the nonprofit Australia n Council for Educational Research. She noted that in the 1970s, American Robert Sommer, a psychologist, was urging a critical look at traditional classroom designs. Earp said that in addition to newer "freeform" classroom designs, some teachers could find good results with designs that combine new and old ideas. They could try lining up desks at the start of the year and then placing them in groups as the classroom relationships become clearer and project work begins.
【1】What change happened to Albemarle County Public Schools?
A.Classroom furniture. B.Learning materials.
C.Teaching Strategy. D.Studying time.
【2】What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The new design. B.The existing classroom.
C.The application of the Internet. D.The limitation on learning spaces.
【3】What' s David' s attitude towards Pearl man' s classroom design?
A.Objective. B.Neutral.
C.Supportive. D.Disapproving.
【4】What’s the ideal classroom in Earp's eyes?
A.It should be designed by teachers.
B.It should provide freedom for students.
C.It should focus on comfortable learning environment.
D.It should be combined with both modern and conventional ideas.
【5】What's the passage mainly about?
A.Different opinions about classroom designs.
B.The considerations in classroom designing.
C.Shortcomings of traditional classrooms.
D.The ways to enlarge learning spaces.
23、 One day my Ph. D. adviser called me into his office, saying I needn’t bring my notebook. Puzzled, I followed him and sat down. After 15 minutes of listing positive things about my academic capabilities, he looked me in the eye and said, “You are fired from the lab.” I stared back, blinking in disbelief. “Is he joking?” I wondered. “How is this possible?”
The first few days after my dismissal were especially difficult. One day all I could do was sit on a beach, crying as I looked out across the Mediterranean Sea and wondered what I should do. Around that time, I watched Dasvidaniya, a Bollywood movie that’s about a man who is told that he has 3 months to live. He responds by changing his attitude to life and setting out to make the most of his remaining months. Even though it is a common saying, one line from the movie stuck out to me: “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” What kind of “lemonade” could I make out of my current situation?
My desire to complete a Ph. D. was never in doubt. After much reflection, I told myself that one failed attempt was not the end of the world, and that I needed to give it another try. With renewed confidence, I emailed prospective advisers and applied to other programs. Fortunately, I landed an offer from a Ph. D. program in Italy. I accepted it and relocated to Europe, happy that my goal of completing a Ph. D. was alive once again.
I’m thankful that I didn’t give up on my dream and that I found another professor willing to take me on. So, if you find yourself in a similar situation and life gives you lemons, ask yourself: “How can I make lemonade?”
【1】What is the author’s feeling after hearing his Ph. D. adviser’ s words?
A．Regretful.
B．Amazed.
C．Pleased.
D．Angry.
【2】What does the sentence “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade” in Paragraph 2 imply?
A．Lemonade is often better than lemon.
B．Life is like lemonade made from lemon.
C．You should try lemonade made from lemon.
D．Transforming the bad situation is a better choice.
【3】Why did the author feel happy once again?
A．He watched an encouraging Bollywood movie.
B．He could achieve his goal of completing a Ph. D.
C．He could earn his living in Europe in the future.
D．He found a good professor in the Ph. D. program.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．Why lost my job in a Ph. D. program.
B．The hard time I suffered in Europe.
C．How I moved on after my dismissal.
D．A vital movie I met in my dilemma.
24、 Every Bachelor of Arts major faces the dilemma about the language they have to take to meet the foreign language requirement. JMU offers a variety of languages, from French to Ancient Greek and Italian. Any of them would be great, but Spanish is the most beneficial language to learn.
Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world, with around 460 million native speakers. It’s the official language of over 20 countries, and in the United States, there are 41 million speakers. These statistics give you the perfect reason to learn Spanish as an international language.
One of the best reasons to learn Spanish is that it makes one more employable. There’s a place for Spanish in every career field. Doctors will have patients that speak Spanish, financial traders will buy stocks from Latin American companies and journalists will provide content written in Spanish.
Spanish is known as the starting block for learning other Romance languages. Many of the words and phrases used in Italian, French and Latin are similar to each other. For example, the Italian word for "thank you" is "grazie". and the Spanish word for "thank you" is“gracias". The Portuguese word for "hello" is "ola "，and the Spanish word for "hello" is “hola”.
There are so many amazing resources available for learning Spanish. A popular method that most people use is the app Duolingo because it’s convenient and great. A similar method is listening to a podcast (播客)，like Coffee Break Spanish that tailors podcasts for different Spanish levels. Both of these options don't break the bank either because they' re free.
JMU also offers opportunities to practice Spanish speaking. The Spanish Club meets every week to discuss culture, practice speaking Spanish and plan events. The Foreign Language Department organizes language tables where students can practice conversational Spanish with other students. Sigma Delta Pi is a Spanish honor society for students who study Spanish.
【1】What 's the difficulty for the Bachelor of Arts students?
A.Meeting all the requirements of their school.
