21、Scientists found a single dose of the protein Hila worked on lab rats. They said it showed “great promise as a future stroke treatment” but had not yet been tested in human trials.
The researchers travelled to Fraser Island in Australia to hunt for and capture three potentially deadly Australian funnel web spiders. They then took the spiders back to their laboratory “for milking”.
This involved coaxing the spider into releasing its venom, which can then be sucked up using pipettes(吸管). The scientists make a careful study of a protein in the venom and recreated a version of it in their lab.
They then injected this Hila into the lab rats. They found that the protein blocked acid-sensing ion channels in the brain-something the researchers say are key drivers of brain damage after stroke.
Professor Glenn King, who led the research, said, “We believe that we have, for the first time, found a way to minimize the effects of brain damage after a stroke. Hila even provides some protection to the core brain region most affected by oxygen deprivation, which is generally considered unrecoverable due to the rapid cell death caused by stroke.”
Dr. Kate Holmes, deputy director for Research at the Stroke Association, said, “We welcome any treatment that has the potential to reduce the damage caused by stroke, particularly if this can benefit people who are unable to arrive at hospital quickly.”
A stroke is a brain attack that happens when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off or there is bleeding on the brain. Every two seconds, someone in the world will have a stoke. Stroke is the second most common cause of death, causing about6.7million deaths each year, one every five seconds. Almost one in every eight deaths is caused by stroke.
【1】Which of the following is the last step of the research?
A．Inject the protein into lab rats.
B．Obtain the deadly spiders’ venom.
C．Catch three deadly spiders.
D．Recreate a version of the protein.
【2】What does the underlined word in the third paragraph probably mean?
A．Forcing.
B．Trapping.
C．Requiring.
D．Feeding.
【3】What is the main idea of the whole passage?
A．It is significant to acquire a medicine for stroke.
B．A promising cure for stroke is probably on the way.
C．Spiders are contributing to the treatment of strokes.
D．Stroke is the second biggest killer of in the world.
【4】What purpose does the last paragraph serve?
A．To summarize the passage.
B．To introduce the topic.
C．To provide the background.
D．To support the argument.
22、Is the “Go to College” Message Overdone?
Even in a weak job market, the old college try isn’t the answer for everyone. A briefing paper from the Brookings Institution warns that “we may have overdone the message” on college, senior fellow Isabel Sawhill said.
“We’ve been telling students and their families for years that college is the only way to succeed in the economy and of course there’s a lot of truth to that,” Ms. Sawhill said. “On average it does pay off… But if you load up on a whole lot of student debt and then you don’t graduate, that is a very bad situation.”
One comment that people often repeat among the years of slow job growth has been the value of education for landing a job and advancing in a career. April’s national unemployment rate stood at 7.5%, according to the Labor Department. The unemployment rate for high-school graduates over 25 years old who hadn’t attended college was 7.4%, compared with 3.9% for those with a bachelor’s degree or more education. The difference is even bigger among those aged 16—24. The jobless rate for those with only a high school diploma in that age group is about 20%. At the same time, recent research by Canadian economists warns that a college degree is no guarantee of promising employment.
Ms. Sawhill pointed out that among the aspects that affect the value of a college education is the field of one’s major: Students in engineering or other sciences end up earning more than ones who major in the arts or education. The cost of tuition (学费) and the availability of financial aid are other considerations, with public institutions generally a better financial bargain than private ones.
She suggested two ways to improve the situation: increasing vocational (职业的)-technical training programs and taking a page from Europe’s focus on early education rather than post-secondary learning. “The European countries put a little more attention to getting people prepared in the primary grades,” she said. “Then they have a higher bar for whoever goes to college—but once you get into college, you’re more likely to be highly subsidized (资助).”
She also is a supporter of technical training—to teach students how to be plumbers, welders and computer programmers—because “employers are desperate” for workers with these skills.
【1】People usually think that .
A. the cost of technical schooling is a problem
B. technical skills are most important for finding a job
C. one will not succeed without a college degree
D. there is an increased competition in getting into a college
【2】What does the underlined part “taking a page from” (in Para.5) possibly mean?
A. Learning from. B. Changing from.
C. Differing from. D. Hearing from.
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A. Public institutions charge more for education.
B. European universities are stricter with students.
C. Canadian students prefer to major in engineering.
D. Students with certain skills are in great demand.
【4】Ms. Sawhill may probably agree that .
A. technical training is more important than college education
B. too much stress has been put on the value of college degrees
C. a college degree will ensure promising employment
D. it’s easier for art students to find favorite jobs
23、 In 1849, travelers going from the East Coast to the West Coast of the U.S. had three choices. They could go by wagon(马车) across the dangerous land. They could travel by sea to Panama, cross Panama by foot, and then sail to the West Coast. The third choice was to board a sailing ship in New York bound for California. The journey took long. Severe weather could add as much as five extra months to the trip.
Could there be any other way to travel from the Atlantic to the Pacific? The answer was a canal. A canal is a human-made waterway.
In the1850s,the U.S. and Britain negotiated treaty(条约) for the rights to build canal. However, this canal was never built.
Panama was another logical option for a canal. With a canal in Panama, travel time could be three months instead of eight months.
In 1879, France began to build a canal across Panama. This project was led by Ferdinand, the experienced builder of the Suez Canal in Egypt. The French government felt that he could get the job done.
Unfortunately, problems began as soon as construction started. It rained every day and temperatures climbed as high as 130 degrees. Tropical diseases caused illness or death to the majority of workers. These factors put a great deal of stress on the project. The money assigned to build the canal quickly ran out. In 1899, France abandoned the project.
The U.S. Congress decided to finish the canal. The U.S . government paid $40 million to France for the completed work and abandoned equipment. In 1903, a treaty between the U.S. and Panama was signed paying Panama $10 million for the land for the canal. This treaty also guaranteed $250,000 to Panama each year for the use of its land and ensured its independence. This deal was viewed as a major foreign policy achievement at the time.
By early1913, the canal was nearly complete. On September 26,1931, an old tugboat was the first ship through the canal. Thousands of people watched and cheered.
Time, money, and possibly even lives have been saved as ships use the shorter route from ocean to ocean provided by the canal. The Panama Canal, a highway of water, is a phenomenon.
【1】What does the underlined word “phenomenon” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Disaster
B．Wonder.
C．Case.
D．Supply.
【2】What caused France to stop work on the canal?
A．France incorrectly believed in Ferdinand.
B．Ferdinand managed another canal project in Egypt.
C．Tropical diseases infected most workers on the project
D．The U.S. government paid France and took over the project.
【3】What can be inferred about the building of the Panama Canal?
A．It caused feelings of hate between France and the U.S.
B．It strengthened the relationship between Panama and the U.S.
C．It united the people living on the east and west coasts of the U.S.
D．It created pressure on the relationship between Britain and the U.S.
【4】What is the purpose for writing the text?
A．To persuade readers to visit the Canal.
B．To inform readers about the Canal and its history.
C．To tell interesting facts about who built the Canal.
D．To state building the Canal was a good political decision.
