Some people are calling it the greatest medical breakthrough so far this century. Surgeons in Spain have successfully carried out the world?s first organ transplant using new stem cell(⼲细胞) technology.
But 1 are stem cells? Most cells in our bodies are designed to 2 specific purposes —for example, a liver cell develops to work in the liver and cannot become a heart cell.
But stem cells are 3 . They are very young, and in the 4 scientists can grow them into different types of cell.
Claudia Castillo needed a new windpipe(⽓管) after contracting tuberculosis. Scientists from the University of Bristol in the
UK took a donor windpipe, or trachea, from someone who had 5 died.
They used strong chemicals to remove the donor?s cells, leaving a tissue scaffold. This was repopulated(重新构成)with cells from Ms Castillo?s windpi pe and nose, and stem cells from her bone marrow. After four 6 the cells had grown sufficiently for the trachea to be transplanted into Ms Castillo.
Currently, transplant patients have to take drugs for 7 of their lives to prevent their bodies rejecting the new 8 . These 9 can have bad side-effects, and do not always prevent rejection.
But by using Ms Castillo?s own cells,10 were able to trick her body into 11 the new trachea was her own organ. Five months on, Claudia Castillo is in 12 health.
This ground-breaking procedure could be used in other transplant operations in the future. Scientists 13 believe stem cells might be used to treat Parkinson?s disease, Alzheimer?s disease, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, diabetes, burns and spinal cord damage.
14 , stem cell research is extremely controversial. The most effective stem cells do not come from adults but from embryos created in laboratories and which are just a few days old. Many people have religious or ethical objections to growing embryos, 15 they can be used to cure diseases.
1. A. what B. who C. where D. why
2. A. give B. offer C. take D. serve

Ⅶ. 阅读理解，根据短⽂内容选择最佳答案
A
Many years ago, scientists discovered that amino acids, a foundational building block of life forms on earth, also exist in space. One of the primary sources of this knowledge lies in numerous tests run on meteorites(陨星) that have landed on earth. Small traces of amino acids have been found, again and again, from a countless number of meteorites. An American scientist and
researcher, Sandra Pizzarello, has recently discovered that the amino acids found on earth share the same simple structure as amino acids found in outer space. This discovery offers proof that extraterrestrial(来⾃地球外的) life could, quite realistically, resemble life on earth.
Many years ago, Pizzarello and a colleague conducted research on amino acids extracted(提取)from a meteorite that landed
in Australia in 1969. As they analyzed the material, they discovered a greater number of acids indicating a tendency towards “left-handedness”over “right-handedness”.
Further evidence to support these findings came from the analysis of pristine meteorites found in Antarctica. The frozen conditions of Antarctica ensure that meteorites are preserved and remain unaffected by the earth. These buried meteorites are usually discovered due to constant motion of the ice, which eventually brings the objects back to the surface. According to Pizzarello, this discovery is important because it shows that a key molecular (分⼦的)trait(特征)that defines life here on earth appears to have had the same effect on the cosmic lineage(世系) of life in outer space. In other words, the fictional images of aliens from movies and popular television shows such as Star Trek might be more realistic than we used to think.
Is there life on other planets? Do aliens resemble human beings? Maybe one day, with continued scientific research and advancement in space travel and research, we will find out.
1. What are amino acids?
A. A building material.
B. A chemical.
C. A life form.
D. A building block of life forms.
2. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Our knowledge of amino acids from outer space has been gained from the tests on
meteorites that landed on earth.
B. The meteorites found in Antarctica had reamained in good condition largely because no one
lives there.
C. The producers of movies about aliens must have done research on amino acids from
meteorites.
D. The author doesn?t believe that aliens might exist in outer space.
3. What has Sandra Pizzarello discovered recently?
A. Extraterrestrial life must resemble life on earth.
B. The amino acids found on earth share the same simple structure as amino acids found in
outer space.
C. A lot of acids indicate a tendency towards “right-handedness” over “left-handedness”.
D. A key molecular trait has the same effect on the cosmic lineage of life in outer space.
4. What has made the discovery of the buried meteorites in Antarctica possible?
A. Continued scientific research.
B. Advancement in space travel and research.
C. The constant motion of the ice eventually brings the objects back to the surface.
D. The discovery of amino acids.
5. What is probably the best title for the passage?
A. Amino Acids Offer Proof of Alien Life in Outer Space
B. There Is Life in Other Planets
C. Extraterrestrial Life Resembles Life on Earth
D. Small Traces of Amino Acids Have Been Found
B
On my planet, nobody needs to die. It was only ten years ago that scientists here on Xeron developed technology to bring the dead back to life. That does sound strange, doesn?t it? But of course these dead “people” are not made of flesh and blood but celluloid(假象⽛) and computer chips. The scientists found that because our population was declining people were becoming longly in their small settlements. So they set to work to solve the problem. After twenty years of dedication they succeeded. They discovered that “people” could be copied from old home movies. The “person” is combined with computer records about him or her to create a virtual “relative”. The family can chat and live with him or her. Once a family takes up the offer of a constant companion, their upkeep is very cheap. He or she does not need food or clothes, is never ill and does not need haircuts or new shoes.
This project has been such a success that the scientists are now working on ways to bring back “people” who died long ago so that they can take on new roles. In 2030 they hope to be able
to reproduce some of the great people of the 20th century: perhaps even Karl Marx, Albert Einstein, or Chairman Mao.
So if you are lonely, find an old home movies and choose the relative you would like to bring back to life. Then call Xeron 7257 and one of our representatives will call you back. Prices are very reasonable. Call today or write for our brochure for full details at Xeron People Regeneration Ltd, Bonjon 5675, Xeron. Please mark your envelope BROCHURE or quick reply!
6. How are these dead “people” different from us?
A. They are made of flesh and blood.
B. They are made of celluloid and computer chips.
C. They are made of flesh and celluloid.
D. They are made of blood and computer chips.
7. What is NOT true about the copied “people” ?
A. Their upkeep is very expensive.
B. They don?t need food or clothes.
C. They are never sick.
D. They don?t need haircuts or new shoes.
8. What is the reason for scientists to bring great minds back to life?
A. So that they can take now roles.
B. Because scientists want to show off their talents.
C. Because people need them.
D. So that they can make the same contribution to society.
9. When you want a relative to be brought back to life, which of the following orders is right?
a. call Xeron 7257
b. find an old home movie
c. choose the relative you?d like to bring back to life
d. one of the representatives calls you back
e. a relative is brought back to life
A. a-b-c-d-e
B. a-c-b-d-e
C. b-c-a-d-e
D. b-a-c-d-e
10. What do you think is the best title for the passage?
A. Humans Can Live Long
B. Life Can Be Extended Indefinitely on Xeron!
C. A Great Discovery
D. Great People Will Never Die

Ⅱ. 听录⾳，根据短⽂内容完成下列句⼦
When asked about jobs in the future, Mr Predictor says that there will be some new jobs but some may disappear. Most jobs however, he thinks, will remain the same. One of the jobs Mr Predictor thinks won?t exist in 20 years is the grocery store cashier, whose job is to receive money or give change in a grocery store, because people will rely mostly on credit card or online payment. In fact, he thinks that all jobs dealing with paper money will disappear. However, being a space tour guide will be an exciting new job in the future. It?s likely that we?ll soon be taking trips into space for pleasure. Walking on the moon will then be a dream to come true. Interestingly, another new job will be a drowned city specialist. With an increase in global warming, there will be a lot of opportunities for dealing with drowned cities. For example, belongings will need to be rescued and houses moved to higher ground. As for jobs that won?t change, Mr Predictor refers to tax collecting and being a barber. As the saying goes, nothing is certain in life but death, taxes and
haircuts. However, we don?t have to worry about our furture as long as we have thought about it and planned ahead.

参考范⽂：
UK’s first hydrid embryos created —Good news or a disaster?
According to the BBC news, scientists have created hydrid embryos for the first time in the UK. Different people may have different ideas about these hydrid embryos.
Some people think it is an important step forward in scientific research. If these hydrid embryos are used for scientific research, it will lead to the possible treatment of some difficult diseases. They think this is something really good.
Others think it is a step too far, and a terrible step. In their opinions, if these hydrid embryos are allowed to grow either on purpose or by accident and result in some strange creatures, it would be really frightening. Just imagine those strange half-human half-cow creatures walking side by side with you! Thinking about this simply makes people sick.
I think we need a hydrid-embryo law to put such kind of research under control.。
