AWe work with Cambridge County Council's Participation Team to create opportunities for young people to visit the University and learn more about it. The following events are scheduled for the 2019/2020 academic year．SuperStar workshops12 engaging workshops are planned for young people aged 7 to 11. These half﹣day visits will be held throughout the year, at times when young people are not at school．If participants complete 8 of the 12 workshops, they will be awarded the nationally recognized SuperStar Crest Award．Please note, workshops will only run if we have a sufficient number of attendees(usually around 3+ participants).Explore University DaysExplore University Days are for young people aged 12﹣15. Participants visit the University for two days and engage with a range of university﹣related workshops, and other fun activities．Previous participants have engaged with the following：• Visited the Sports Centre• Took part in a Neuroscience workshop• Enjoyed a two﹣course meal at a University CollegeDates will be confirmed in early December 2019, and a schedule for event will follow in the New Year．Events for post﹣16 studentsIf you are studying for your post-16 qualifications and are considering applying for Cambridge or would like to find out more about a specific subject, the following events might be for you：• University and College Open Days• Subject Masterclasses• Cambridge Science Festival21. What can the participants do in SuperStar workshops?A. To stay half a day there．B. To get a gift．C. To enjoy a free meal．D. To attend College Open Days．22. Which event is specially for applicants of Cambridge？A. SuperStar workshops．B. The Neuroscience workshop．C. Explore University Days．D. Events for post﹣16 students．23. The events in the passage most probably aim to ．A. introduce some coursesB. advertise Cambridge UniversityC. enrich students' spare time lifeD. promote children's interest in touringBChinese scientists recently have produced two monkeys with the same gene, ZhongZhong and Hua Hua, using the same technique that gave us Dolly the sheep. These monkeys are not actually the first primates（灵长类）to be cloned. Another one named Tetra was produced in the late 1990s by embryo（胚胎）splitting, the division of an early-stage embryo into two or four separate cells to make clones. By contrast, they were each made by replacing an egg cell nucleus（卵原子核）with DNA from a differentiated body cell. This Dolly method, known as somatic(躯体的) cell nuclear transfer（SCNT）, can create more clones and allows researchers greater control over the edits they make to the DNA.Success came from adopting several new techniques. These included a new type of microscopy(显微术) to better view the cells during handling or using several materials that encourage cel l reprogramming, which hadn’t been tried before on primates. Still, the research process proved difficult, and many attempts by the team failed. Just two healthy baby monkeys born from more than 60 tested mothers. This leads to many researchers’ pouring water on the idea that the team’s results bring scientists closer to cloning humans. They thought this work is not a stepping stone to establishing methods for obtaining live born human clones. Instead, this clearly remains a very foolish thing to attempt, and it would be far too inefficient, far too unsafe, and it is also pointless.But the scientists involved emphasize that this is not their goal. There is now no barrier for cloning primate species, thus cloning humans is closer to reality. However, their research purpose is entirely for producing non-human primate models for human diseases; they absolutely have no intention, and society will not permit this work to be extended to humans. Despite limitations, they treat this breakthrough as a novel model system for scientists studying human biology and disease.24. What do we know about the technology called SCNT?A. It created the first primates.B. It may contribute to editing the DNA.C. It can divide an early-stage embryo into several cells.D. It produced two cloned monkeys with different genes.25. What does the author mean by “pouring water on the idea” in paragraph 2?A. Keeping a hot topic of it.B. Paying no attention to it.C. Having a low opinion of it.D. Adding supportive evidence to it.26. What is the scientists’ purpose to clone these monkeys?A. To prepare for their research on human cloning.B. To serve as a stepping stone to their reputation.C. To help with the study of human diseases.D. To clone other animals for scientific use.27. What can we infer from the passage?A. Cloning humans is already on its way.B. New techniques seem to be pointless.C. Society won’t agree to clone another monkey.D. The success rate of this cloning of monkey was not high.CRecently, a 1935 letter in which Ernest Hemingway detailed his catch of a 500lb blue marlin（青枪鱼, an adventure that is believed to have partly inspired his novel The Old Man and the Sea, has been sold for﹩28，000 (£22，000)．The handwritten letter was sent by Hemingway on 8 May to the fishing editor of the Miami Herald，telling in great detail how the author and his friend Henry Strater battled to keep sharks away from the marlin after catching it off the Bahamian island of Bimini．Nate D Sanders, the auction（拍卖）company which sold the letter, said it documented for the first time in Hemingway's own words not only the size of the marlin, but also the attack by sharks，reflecting the plot of the novel．The company added that Hemingway's account of the marlin catch differed from other anecdotes（轶事）of it, one of which described Hemingway using a machine gun on the sharks, which is said to have attracted more sharks rather than frightened them away． The Old Man and the Sea was also inspired by an anecdote told by Hemingway's Cuban friend Carlos Gutierrez. In 1936, Hemingway wrote in a magazine that Carlos had told him about an old fisherman who caught a great marlin alone．Three years later, Hemingway told his editor Max Perkins that he was planning a short story about the old commercial fisherman who fought the swordfish all alonein his sailing boat. Instead, he ended up writing For Whom the Bell Tolls, not returning to the story about the old fisherman until January 1951. It won him the Pulitzer in 1953, and was specifically mentioned when he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1954．28. What did the auction company stress when selling the 1935letter？A. The style of the writer．B. The history of the letter．C. The contents of the letter．D. The popularity of the writer．29. What inspired Hemingway to write The Old Man and The Sea besides his own adventure？A. Henry Strater's account．B. Carlos Gutierrez's story．C. Max Perkins' life experience．D. Nate D Sanders' description．30. Which is the correct order of time for the following facts in the passage？1. Hemingway wrote a letter to describe his adventure．2. Hemingway caught a big blue marlin．3. The letter was sold at auction．4. The Old Man and The Sea won the Nobel Prize．A．①③②④B．②①④③C．②④①③D．②③①④第二节（共5个小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
