24、If you’ve ever seen an alpaca (羊驼), you might just think they’re fuzzy and cute. Now, it looks like these animals might be able to help scientists find a vaccine (疫苗) for COVID-19.

Australian scientists are studying alpacas. These animals have a unique immune response (免疫反应). Scientists used to use them to do research on viruses (病毒) like HIV. Now they have found that when alpacas are infected (感染) with COVID-19, their bodies react in a special way.

“Alpacas and animals like them (such as camels) actually create two different types of antibodies (抗体). One is similar to the type we (humans) make, but they also create these things called nanobodies (纳米抗体),” said Michael James, a researcher who took part in the study.

The alpacas produced these nanobodies after researchers put a COVID-19 viral spike protein (棘突蛋白) into their bodies. It is this protein that allows COVID-19 to infect our cells (细胞). The nanobodies, however, stop infection from happening by blocking (阻隔) the protein.

You can think of our cells as “locks”— and the viral spike protein as a “key”. James said the nanobodies plug up the “lock” so that the “key” cannot get in.

Although the results look good so far, it will take some time to produce a vaccine based on the findings. The nanobodies require far more research to make sure they are both effective and safe. Since the nanobodies are new, they must be tested very strictly in a laboratory before they can be tried on humans, according to James.

A．To help with research on HIV.

B．To develop a vaccine for COVID-19.

D．To test new medicines for COVID-19.

【2】What is the role of nanobodies?

A．Protecting cells from infection.

B．Producing viral spike proteins.

C．Infecting body cells.

D．Killing viruses.

【3】What are Paragraphs 3-4 about?

A．How animals create antibodies.

B．How alpacas’ bodies react to viruses.

C．How alpacas get infected with COVID-19.

D．How animals protect themselves from danger.

【4】What does the phrase “plug up” mean?

A．add

B．connect

C．fill

D．start

【5】What do we know from the story?

A．The research on nanobodies uses a special method.

B．The research on nanobodies hasn’t gone well.

C．The nanobodies have been tried on humans.

28、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Once upon a time, there were five children 【1】 moved to the countryside with their mother. One day, while they 【2】 (play) in a gravel pit (采石场), they met a magical creature called the Psammead.

The Psammead was a sand-fairy (沙精). It had the power to give one wish per day. But every wish could only last 【3】 sunset. The children were excited and started making wishes. First, they wished for money. 【4】 (surprise), a whole pit filled with gold coins appeared in front of them. They tried to buy things with the gold coins, but 【5】 (catch) as robbers by the police.

The kids made more wishes—to become more beautiful, to fly with wings, and to turn 【6】 (strong). Each wish had 【7】 (it) own surprises at first, but it brought problems in the end. They learned that wishes don’t always give them what they truly want.

The next day, the children received a letter 【8】 (say) their mother was coming back home. They wanted to wish for something special for her. So they asked the Psammead for some jewels (宝石). When their mother returned, she found the jewels and thought they were the 【9】 (thief). So they had to find the Psammead again and asked for one last wish 【10】 (solve) the problem. When they got back home, everything was resolved. From then on, they couldn’t meet the Psammead anymore.

29、A New Friend and Perspective （视角）

I picked up the phone, slowly dialing the number to her house. All I could think was what we could possibly have a ________ about. Nothing! I didn't think I could have anything in common with someone who is 50 years older than me.

"Your grandmother won't be around forever," my mom said, so I just did what she told me and painfully ________ my grandmother. What I didn't know was that the phone call would change my perspective on life and my grandmother.

When she answered the ________, I planned to have a small conversation. Instead, she invited me to lunch. Hesitantly（犹豫地）, I replied with a "That sounds great".

When I hung up the phone, I immediately ________ agreeing to the lunch date. How was I going to fit this into my busy schedule of homework, games and friends? It was not my ideal Saturday, but I went anyway. Me and my grandmother... nothing to talk about.

________, my Saturday morning wasn't painful. I was interested in listening about her recent trip to Europe and how she saw the famous Eiffel Tower. She told me stories about her sewing class and her friends. I didn't realize that 60-year-old people had a social life. It turned out that her life wasn't as ________ as I thought. For once, I was happy and satisfied without friends and without my cell phone. We planned to meet again at her house. This time, my mom didn't have to beg me.

During the next visit, we sorted through three shoeboxes of photographs. There was an interesting story for each one. I learned that as humans, we shared human ________, no matter what age.

Ever since I made the first phone call to my grandmother, we have talked at least once a week. I regret not calling her earlier. Her advice has taught me things that can't be learned in a textbook. She taught me to be ________ to new things, to enjoy the simple things, and to appreciate what life has given me. I have gained a friend, a mentor（导师）, and a new perspective.
