26、 Imagine being face-to-face with a woolly mammoth (猛犸象) . It would be quite a sight. Scientists believe it would tower above 11 feet tall and have a sloping back, a long, powerful trunk, and sharp, curved tusks that stretch up to 10 feet. Its thick hair would be up to three feet long. It would weigh six tons—about as heavy as a bus.
You’ve probably never seen a giant furry elephant before. Actually, you definitely haven’t. The species has been extinct for thousands of years.
But a few years from now, you might be able to see a woolly mammoth in person. Scientists believe they have the technology to recreate it.
A team of South Korean and Russian scientists plan to clone a woolly mammoth. How will they do it?
Several woolly mammoth bodies have already been discovered in Siberia, an icy region in Russia. The scientists plan to take cells from these frozen mammoths. In a laboratory, they’ll use them to create a new cluster (群) of cells called an embryo. The embryo will be placed into the womb of a living female elephant. That elephant will then give birth to a baby woolly mammoth.
The scientists believe the whole process will take five years. Many scientists and animal lovers can’t wait. It will be so exciting to be able to bring a creature that has been extinct for thousands of years back to life. People would travel from around the world for the chance to see a living woolly mammoth. By observing the way the creature looks and acts, scientists might make brand-new discoveries about the history of animal life.
Other experts aren’t so sure about the woolly mammoth project. One big question is what to do with a mammoth. The Earth has changed in the thousands of years since these animals roamed the planet. Where would the creature live, and would it be able to survive in today’s climate ? Some believe that the money being spent on the experiment could be better spent on other important scientific projects, such as fighting diseases.
But the South Korean and Russian scientists are sticking to their plan. They admit they have a big challenge ahead. There is no guarantee that they will succeed, but they’ re hopeful.
【1】The first paragraph describes the mammoth’s ________.
A.habitat B.food
C.appearance D.lifespan
【2】What is the challenge for scientists to clone a mammoth?
A.Whether they have enough money for the project.
B.Whether the mammoth can adapt to the new environment.
C.Whether the mammoth can survive the modern diseases.
D.Whether their plan wins support from the public.
【3】The last paragraph implies that the attitude of scientists to cloning mammoths is ______.
A.negative B.disapproving
C.optimistic D.doubtful
【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Scientists are finding ways to deal with mammoths.
B.Scientists try to find out the history of animal life.
C.Scientists plan to bring the mammoth back to life.
D.Scientists pay little attention to the return of the mammoth.
27、 The spread of Western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and the environment. These findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.
David Tilman, a professor of ecology at the University of Minnesota, America, examined information from 100 countries to identify what people ate and how diet affected health. He noted a movement beginning in the 1960s. He found that as nations industrialized(工业化), the population increased and earnings rose, more people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet.
The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat. By eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker. David Tilman says overweight people are at greater risk of non-infectious diseases like diabetes(糖尿病) and heart disease.
Unfortunately when people adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these health problems, especially in developing countries in Asia. China is an example where the number of diabetes cases has been jumping from less than one per cent to 10 per cent of the population as they began to industrialize over a 20-year period. And that is happening all across the world, in Mexico, in Nigeria and so on.
And, a diet bad for human beings, is also bad for the environment. As the world's population grows, more forests and tropical(热带的) areas will become farmland for crops or grasslands for cattle. We are likely to have more greenhouse gases in the future from agriculture than those coming out of all forms of transportation right now.
Mr Tilman calls the link between the diet, the environment and human health “a trilemma”: a problem offering a difficult choice. He says one possible settlement is leaving the Western diet behind.
【1】We can infer from the passage that .
A.Nigeria has the largest number of diabetes cases
B.overweight people are at higher risk of infectious diseases
C.the examined information comes from developing countries
D.industrialization contributes to the spread of the Western diet
【2】According to the passage, more greenhouse gases might be given off in the future from .
A.transportation B.developing countries C.agriculture D.developed countries
【3】David Tilman believes that .
A.the diet, the environment and human health are closely connected
B.the Western diet is the only choice as the nation industrializes
C.people in tropical areas are more likely to have heart disease
D.traditional diets are more balanced than the Western diet
【4】What's the main purpose of writing the passage?
A.To call on us to protect the environment.
B.To warn us of the danger of the Western diet.
C.To remind us of the importance of health.
D.To advise us to have a balanced diet.
28、 Getting back into a routine can be a challenge. If you ever wanted to understand how you could succeed in school, you’re in luck. 【1】 Here are some of the tips from the teachers to help you succeed in the next school year.
Use a calendar or chart(图表).
Hang a calendar on your refrigerator or somewhere else. 【2】 This helps you remember things you need to do. You can also make a chart. Then, use colorful pens to circle or draw a line under your homework, reading tasks or other activities. By using a chart, you learn how to plan for your studies.
【3】
Visit the bookstore or library every few weeks to find a new book to read on your own. The more kids get excited about reading on their own, the more their self-confidence will rise. They’ll also be better equipped to deal with challenging homework assignments.
Unplug for success.
Families should have a no electronics period when everyone turns off their devices(设备). 【4】 It’s amazing how you can reconnect with yourself and others when you’re not distracted(分散注意力) by technology.
