26、Nowadays medical technology seems to be advanced enough for doctors to perform brain transplants (移植). Though this procedure (程序) has only been successfully performed on animals so far, doctors are still hoping to perform this procedure on humans. However, in my opinion, brain transplants should not be performed at all, especially not on humans because of the large number of problems and side effects that could come along with. Hopefully these dangerous side effects will convince doctors not to perform this procedure on humans.
Despite many benefits technology brings. I do not think this medical technology of brain transplants will help. We were all born with one brain and through childhood to adults our mind developed into who we are, so if with a different brain we would no longer be unique. A person with a different brain would seem to be a total stranger and in many ways they would be. No one should steal our identity from us, even if we are seriously injured, and change it to a completely new one. Also for the people who have died with healthy brains, that was their identity and it should not be given to anyone else.
Another problem with brain transplants is how doctors can choose what are “healthy” or “normal” brains. An elderly person who has died would have an aged brain that would not be as efficient as younger person’s brain. Then would doctors have to find healthy brains of the same age as the person who needs it? This could also bring up other factors such as intelligence, sex, or physical problems that a person might have had before death. Also another problem might be how long a brain can be kept “alive” after death and how it can be kept “alive” without damage.
Overall. my feelings about this operation are that it should not be done on humans until doctors have overcome all the problems and challenges that stand in their way of making human brain transplants successful.
【1】Why does the author think brain transplants should not be performed at all?
A．The cost of the operation is extremely high.
B．Doctors are not able to perform brain transplants.
C．A good many problems and side effects may arise.
D．This procedure has only been successful on animals
【2】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A．People shouldn’t give their healthy brains to others.
B．Having a brain transplant means losing one’s identity.
C．Transplanting brains is changing old brains into new ones.
D．Having brain transplants indicates stealing identity from others.
【3】What is the writers’ attitude towards brain transplants an humans?
A．indifferent
B．favorable
C．disapproving
D．objective
【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To encourage brain donation.
B．To stress the importance of brain operation.
C．To argue against brain transplants on humans.
D．To introduce the technology of brain transplants.
27、The Price of a Dream
I grew up poor.We had little money, but plenty of love and attention.I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could still afford a dream.My dream was athletics.
By the time I was sixteen, I was good at baseball and football.My high－school coach was Ollie Jarvis.He not only believed in me, but taught me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction(信念).
One summer a friend recommended me for a summer job.This meant a chance for money in my pocket — cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn't be playing. I was afraid of this, but my mother said：“If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.”
When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as mad as I expected him to be.“Your playing days are limited.You can't afford to waste them, ” he said.
I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why I dream of buying my mom a house.
“How much are you going to make at this job, son？” he demanded.
“Three point twenty－five an hour，” I replied.
“Well, ” he asked, “is $3.25 an hour the price of a dream？”
That question exposed the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal.I devoted myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play rookie－league ball, and offered a $20, 000 contract.I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother my dream house.

29、Birthdays often involve surprises. But this year’s surprise on the birthday of the great British playwright William Shakespeare is surely one of the most dramatic.
On April 22, one day before his 441st birthday anniversary, experts discovered that one of the most recognizable portraits of William Shakespeare is a fake. This means that we no longer have a good idea of what Shakespeare looked like. “It’s very possible that many pictures of Shakespeare might be unreliable because many of them are copies of this one,” said an expert from Britain’s National Portrait Gallery.
The discovery comes after four months of testing using X rays, ultraviolet light, microphotography and paint samples. The experts from the gallery say the image commonly known as the “Flower portrait”—was actually painted in the 1800s, about two centuries after Shakespeare’s death. The art experts who work at the gallery say they also used modern chemistry technology to check the paint on the picture. These checks found traces of paint dating from about 1814. Shakespeare died in 1616, and the date that appears on the portrait is 1609.
“We now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840. This was when there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare’s plays,” Tarnya Cooper, the gallery’s curator (馆长), told the Associated President.
The fake picture has often been used as a cover for collections of his plays. It is called the Flower portrait because one of its owners, Desmond Flower, gave it to the Royal Shakespeare S Company.
“There have always been questions about the painting,” said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company. “Now we know the truth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of Shakespearean portraiture.”
Two other images of Shakespeare, are also being studied as part of the investigation and the results will come out later this month. .
【1】What makes the birthday of Shakespeare dramatic this year?
A．It was found that he painted a portrait in 1814 instead of in 1609.
B．The Flower portrait has been found to be a fake.
C．Three portraits of Shakespeare are being tested to identify a real one.
D．It was found that there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare’s plays around 1818 to 1840.
【2】How many methods were used to test the portrait?
A．Not mentioned.
B．Two.
C．Three.
D．At least four.
【3】Which is the best sentence to fill in the blank in the last paragraph?
A．Soon we’ll know which portrait is reliable.
B．Maybe we cannot find a real portrait of Shakespeare.
C．If the two portraits are found to be false, they will test more.
D．For now what Shakespeare really looked like will remain a mystery.
【4】The best title for this passage is .

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Yoghurt
It was a rough week. The price of oil skyrocketed as the temperature dropped sharply in Maine. I had missed three days of wok so my paycheck was going to be lower than normal. I was stresses, to say the least. I shopped strategically, looking for every possible way to cut pennies so I could buy groceries and keep the house warm.
My eight-year-old son didn’t understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind of yoghurt, but I didn't have the extra three dollars to buy it for him. It was the kind of yoghurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard on the front of the box, and a mere two spoonfuls in each cup. It was the kind of product that wastes a parent’s money and makes me hate advertising.
I felt guilty as a parent when those big eyes looked at me with confusion, as if to say, “It’s just yoghurt. What’s the big deal?” So I found a way. I put something back as single mothers often do. He got his yoghurt.
On the way driving back from the grocery store, I noticed a homeless man holding a sign by the side of the road. My heart hurt, and I tried not to look at him. I watched people stay away from him on the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes. My son didn’t seem to care much, either. I looked at the man closely then— bare hands grasping a piece of cardboard, snot(鼻涕) frozen to his face, a worn-out jacket. And there I was struggling because I had to buy oil and groceries, But I decided to help. I pulled over to the man and handed him a five-dollar bill.
