According to a recent study, a new genetically modified（转基因的）rice can prevent infections of HIV, the virus responsible for the disease AIDS.
The study reports the newly-developed rice produces proteins that attach directly to the HIV virus. This process prevents the virus from mixing with human cells. The scientists say it can remove the effect of the virus and block its spreading.
The Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS reports that worldwide, nearly 37 million people were living with HIV in 2017. The organization says the largest number of those are in developing countries. Nearly two-thirds of HIV cases are in Africa. Now there is no cure for HIV/AIDS though there have been developments in oral drug treatments to slow the progression of
the disease.
The new study predicts the rice-based method will lead to long-term use of the anti-HIV treatment across the developing world. Researchers said the “groundbreaking” discovery is “realistically the only way” that anti-HIV combination treatments can be produced at a cost low enough for the developing world.
They say the easiest and most cost-effective way to use the rice will be to make it into a cream to be put on the skin. The HIV-fighting proteins can then enter the body through the skin. People all over the world could grow the rice and make the cream themselves. This would prevent the cost and travel required for many patients to receive treatments and medicine.
The process of changing the genetic structure of food crops has been debated for some time. Critics of genetically engineered crops believe they can harm people. The scientific team says further testing is needed to ensure that the genetic engineering process does not produce any additional chemicals that could be dangerous to people.
28. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?
A. Stress the urgency of HIV treatments.
B. Provide some data about HIV.
C. Remind readers of HIV prevention.
D. Introduce HIV to the public.
29. In which way will the rice be used at the lowest cost?
A. By transforming it into proteins.
B. By adding it to an oral drug.
C. By attaching it to the HIV virus.
D. By processing it into a cream.
30. What can we infer about the genetic engineering process?
A. It can prevent infections of HIV.
B. It can produce dangerous chemicals.
C. It still requires perfecting.
D. It applies to the developed world.
31. From which is the text probably taken?
A. A biology textbook.
B. A health magazine.
C. A social webpage.
D. A first aid brochure.
D
Can you imagine digging in your yard one day and finding a life-sized soldier made completely of clay? That’s what happened several decades ago when farmers in Xi'an, China, were digging wells.
Archaeologists（考古学家）have since found about 6,000 more of these soldiers, along with horses, weapons, tools, and other artifacts. The huge army was meant to protect the tomb of the first ruler of China. The first emperor of China, Qin Shihuang, accomplished a huge amount during his rule. Between 221 and 210 B.C., he started the construction of the Great Wall. He built a large network of roads. He introduced a new writing system, currency（货币）, and a set of measurements. The emperor also ordered the construction of a huge army of life-sized terracotta soldiers. These, he hoped, would protect his tomb after his death.
The soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are today light brown, but they weren't always. They began as an army of red, blue, yellow, green, white, and purple. Sadly, most of the colors did not last to the present day. After being exposed to air during excavation(挖掘), the coating under the paint began to fall off. The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg,
taking with it important pieces of history.
Now new techniques are starting to reveal the army's true colors. Archaeologists have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers. Many of these still have their painted features, including black hair, pink faces, and black or brown eyes. Chinese and German researchers have developed a specia l liquid to help preserve the soldiers’ colors. After they find a soldier or other artifacts(手工艺品), archaeologists spray it with the liquid. They then cover it in plastic. Archa eologists are also finding colors in the dirt around the soldiers. It’s import ant not to disturb the dirt, so the colors won’t be lost. “We are treating the earth as an artifact,” says archeologist Rong Bo, the museum’s leading chemist. The next challenge, says Rong, is to find a way to apply the colors to the army again. Once that happens, artists can bring Emperor Qin's army back to life in full, vivid color.
32. The terracotta soldiers were constructed to _________.
A. show the outside world about China’s greatness
B. be enjoyed by everyday people
C. frighten China’s enemies
D. pr otect Emperor Qin’s tomb
33. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. The soldiers lost their colors very quickly.
B. The soldiers’ paint fell off because of the high tem perature.
C. Visitors to the museum are not actually seeing the real soldiers.
D. Being exposed to water is bad for the soldiers.
34. What have archaeologists recently discovered?
A. A place with over a hundred soldiers.
B. A written description of the sol diers’ true colors.
C. A special liquid in the tomb to preserve the soldiers’ colors.
D. A new tomb for Emperor Qin.
35. Which statement would Rong Bo probably agree with?
A. The soldiers should stay in their current, brown color.
B. Artists should be able to paint the soldiers in any color they want.
C. Archaeologists can only gu ess at the soldiers’ original colors.
D. We should try to restore the army’s vivid colors.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

The e vent that stands out in Tom’s memory happ ened one morning when Tom was only ten years old. He was at home with his elder sister Jane. Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices. At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud, but he soon realized this time it was different.
“Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop.” someone yelled.
Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke greeted him. The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.
Jane, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room. They rushed out of the door and along the corridor（走廊）through the smoke.
They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane stopped in her track. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he followed suit.
Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them, who they called Makcik, Malay for auntie. Jane began banging on Makcik’s door, but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around them, Tom could see many of their neighbors—some still in their pajamas —running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind.
“She would have run for safety like everyone else!” Tom cried. However, Jane refused to give up. “I know Makcik’s still inside.” She said she was familiar with Makcik’s daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. She pounded(击打) the door. “Go downstairs. Go now! Go!”

Dear Eric,
I’m writing to answer your questions about our ways to deal with used books.
A book-recycling project, carried out by our school Student Union, calls on senior three students to be a green school-leaver. They are encouraged to donate their books by leaving them in the boxes outside their classrooms, which not only helps deal with their used books properly but promotes their awareness of environment protection. Since 2015, the project has been well accepted for it has greatly cut down waste and spread the idea of green life.
Best wishes!
Yours.
Li Hua 读后续写
Paragraph 1:
Tom noticed the flame was reaching up. Frozen with fear, he stood still and held Jane’s hand tightly. By then, both of them were coughing and their eyes were aching because the smoke was getting thicker. Time seemed to stand still, though they were probably there for only two or three minutes. Tom begged Jane to run for safety as quickly as possible. Jane tried to protect her nose from the choking smoke and shook her head. She kept pounding against the door. Tom burst out crying.
Paragraph 2:
Luckily, some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help.
A sense of strength immediately replaced the mounting fear and anxiety in Jane’s mind. She told them Ms. Makcik must be still in the room. They forced the door open with all their strength. Sure enough, Makcik was lying in bed, unconscious. She was carried downstairs and then rushed to the hospital, where she finally came to herself. People in the neighborhood felt relieved. Jane and Tom were praised for their bravery.。
