21、On Sept 25, a team of doctors made medical history. In a two-hour procedure, led by Dr Robert Montgomery at New York University (NYU) Langone Health in the US, surgeons successfully attached a kidney from a genetically-engineered (转基因的) pig to a human. The kidney functioned normally and wasn’t rejected by the person’s immune system.

Montgomery said that the success of the procedure was a “transformative (变革的) moment”. “It was a kidney that was immediately functioning,” Montgomery told CBS News. The recipient was a brain-dead patient with signs of kidney dysfunction (功能障碍) whose family agreed to the experiment before she was due to be taken off life support, researchers told Reuters.

For three days, the kidney was attached to the patient’s blood vessels (血管) by the upper leg and maintained outside her body to give researchers access. This kidney was never meant to serve as a permanently functioning organ for the patient. Instead, the point of the surgery was to test whether the body would reject the organ. Researchers have been working toward the possibility of using animal organs, namely pigs’, for transplants for years. The problem lies in how to prevent the body from rejecting the organ.

This is where the idea of using an organ from a genetically-engineered pig came into play.

According to Popular Science, pig cells contain a sugar molecule (分子) that is foreign to the human body and causes organ rejection. Montgomery’s team thought that using a modified (基因改良的) pig that wouldn’t produce this sugar molecule would overcome the issue of organ rejection. This could give hope to many down the road.

Montgomery said that the NYU kidney transplant experiment should pave the way for trials in patients with end-stage kidney failure, possibly in the next year or two, CNN reported. While there is still much to be done before entire pig organs are regularly used in people, the prospect itself is encouraging. Amy Friedman, a former transplant surgeon, told The New York Times that she hopes that in the future, it will be possible to use other organs grown in pigs as well. “It’s truly mind-boggling (难以置信的) to think of how many transplants we might be able to offer.”

【1】What can we know about the NYU kidney transplant surgery?

A．The patient was cured completely.

B．The kidney would serve as a life-long organ for the patient.

C．The kidney worked without rejection.

D．The pig’s genes were successfully engineered.

【2】Why did Montgomery’s team use a modified pig in the surgery?

A．A modified pig has a special sugar molecule.

B．A modified pig contains an organ that will not cause rejection.

C．A sugar molecule is absent in a modified pig.

D．Using a modified pig is much easier for the transplant.

【3】What is Montgomery’s attitude towards the experiment?

A．Favourable.

B．Disapproving.

C．Ambiguous.

D．Neutral.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．The future of organ transplants is unpromising.

B．Organs from other animals will be used in the future.

C．This kind of transplants will not be offered any more.

D．There is a long way to go before regularly using pig organs in people.

22、A recent housing project in Helsinki offers remarkably cheap apartments for those under the age of 25. They must commit to spending time with their older neighbors.

Helsinki offers 247-suqare-foot studio apartments with a bathroom, storage space, kitchen, and balcony for only $272 every month—about a third of the average price for a studio in the city. The apartment is inside homes for the elderly, and the young renter must spend between three to five hours with their elderly neighbors each week.

Like pretty much all other major cities in the world, Finland’s capital of Helsinki has faced rapid population growth in recent years. And with population growth, comes an inevitable rise in the cost of living, and of course, sharp increase in rent. Currently, Helsinki is ranked 14th on the list of the world’s most expensive cities. For those young and freshly independent, this causes terrible problems — even homelessness.

"It's a very expensive city to live in," Mr. Bostrom writes in an email to CNN’s Eoghan Macguire. "If you manage to get an apartment that the city owns, it can be quite affordable. The screening criteria included the ability to participate in a variety of activities, such as cooking or playing instruments, but the number of applicants for those apartments is so high that waiting list takes forever,” he says.

According to Helsinki’s Youth Housing Association, the city council aims to ensure that every young person will have a home by 2018. Miki Mielonen, a representative of the youth department, says this project, currently in its trial stages, will help out young people while offering social benefits to senior citizens. “I think there is quite a rigid opinion in Finland with many people thinking young of the old ideas that we are going to break down.”

【1】Helsinki probably rents a cheap apartment to a young man who ________.

A. reaches the age of 25

B. has financial problems

C. promises to accompany the elderly

D. agrees to share it with his neighbor

【2】Which is the root reason for the housing problems in Helsinki?

A. The population explosion.

B. The high living standard.

C. World’s priciest apartment rent.

D. Low employment of college graduates.

【3】According to Mr Bostrom, the cheap apartments are ________.

A. well-decorated   B. difficult to afford

C. in short supply D. popular with technicians

【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. The young in Helsinki are mostly homeless.

B. Helsinki will overcome people’s prejudice.

C. The project will be experimental in future.

D. The project is more beneficial to the young.

23、Swimming in an ocean of stars

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It’s my great honor to receive the Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. Thank you.

I started writing sci-fi because I looked for a way to escape the dull life, and to reach out, with imagination, to the mysterious time and space that I could never truly reach. But then I realized that the world around me became more and more like science fiction, and this process is speeding up. Future is like pouring rain. It reaches us even before we have time to open the umbrella. Meanwhile, when sci-fi becomes reality, it loses all its magic, and that frustrates me. Sci-fi will soon become part of our lives. The only thing I can do, is to push my imagination further to even more distant time and space to hunt for the mysteries of sci-fi. As a sci-fi author, I think my job is to write things down before they get really boring.

This being said, the world is moving in the direction opposite to Clarke’s predictions. In 2001, A Space Odyssey, in the year of 2001, which has already passed, human beings have built magnificent cities in space, and established permanent colonies on the moon, and huge nuclear-powered spacecraft have sailed to Saturn. However, today, in 2018, the walk on the moon has become a distant memory. And the furthest reach of our manned space flights is just as long as the two-hour mileage of a high-speed train passing through my city.

As a sci-fi writer, I have been striving to continue Arthur Clarke’s imagination. I believe that the boundless space is still the best direction and destination for human imagination. I have always written about the magnitude and mysteries of the universe, interstellar expeditions, and the lives and civilizations happening in distant worlds. This remains today, although this may seem childish or even outdated. It says on Arthur Clarke’s epitaph,“He never grew up, but he never stopped growing.”

Many people misunderstand sci-fi as trying to predict the future, but this is not true. It just makes a list of possibilities of what may happen in the future, like displaying a pile of cobblestones for people to see and play with. Science fiction can never tell which scenario of the future will actually become the real future. This is not its job. It’s also beyond its capabilities. But one thing is certain: in the long run, for all these countless possible futures, any future without space travel is gloomy, no matter how prosperous our own planet becomes.

Sci-fi was writing about the age of digital information and it eventually became true. I now look forward to the time when space travel finally becomes the ordinary. By then, Mars and the asteroid belts will be boring places and countless people are building a home over there. Jupiter and its many satellites will be tourist attractions. The only obstacle preventing people from going there for good, will be the crazy price.

But even at that time, the universe is still unimaginably big that even our wildest imagination fails to catch its edge. And even the closest star remains out of reach. The vast ocean of stars can always carry our infinite imagination.

Thank you all.

24、What inspires people to act selflessly, help others, and make personal sacrifices? Each quarter, this column features one piece of scholarly research that provides insight into what motivates people to engage in what psychologists call “pro-social behavior”.

This quarter we focus on how recognitions of “group membership” can influence whether others decide to help us in emergency situations. A 2005 British study reported in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin shows that bystanders are more likely to help strangers in distress when they recognize such strangers as belonging to a common group. However, what counts as group membership is not fixed. When people are encouraged to see greater commonalities with strangers, they will extend help to those whom they may have otherwise considered part of the “out group.”

Two studies conducted between fans of two English football teams, Manchester United and Liverpool. In the first study, Manchester United fans were required to fill out questionnaires about their interest in the team and the degree to which they identified as fans and then invited to walk across campus to see a video about football teams. Along the way, an accident was staged in which a runner slipped and fell, groaning in pain. Hidden observers watched the incident, and those taking part in the study were asked about it when they reached the projection room. Participants, all of whom had a strong identification as Manchester fans, were more likely to ask the runner if he needed help when he was wearing a Manchester United shirt than when he was wearing a Liverpool shirt or an ordinary unbranded shirt.

In the second study, Manchester United fans were again required, but when they arrived they were told that they were participating in a study about football fans in general (not Manchester United fans, specifically). They were also told that the study aimed to focus on the positive aspects of fan-hood as opposed to the negative incidents and stories that usually get attention. The study questionnaires asked them about their broader interest in the game and what they shared with other fans. They then were instructed to cross campus to head to the projection room, and along the way witnessed the same staged incident described in the first study. In this case, participants were as likely to help a victim in a Manchester United shirt as they were to help someone in a Liverpool shirt. And they were more likely to help those wearing team shirts than those who were not.

When people expand their notion of the “in-group” they are more likely to reach out to those in the “other camp.”

The results indicate that when people are encouraged to see social category boundaries at a more inclusive level—all football fans, versus fans of one team — they will extend help to more individuals. Even in a country in which bitter inter-group rivalry(对抗) exists between fans of one football team and another, when people expand their notion of the “in-group” they are more likely to reach out to those in the “other camp”.

One noteworthy strength of this research is that it offers an analysis of actual helping behavior rather than “beliefs about” or “intentions” to act. Evidence of dramatic shifts in such behavior across deeply entrenched antagonisms(根深蒂固的敌对情绪) in response to simple changes in levels of categorization is striking.

Indeed, the studies bring up questions regarding how we may insert more pro-social behavior not only in emergency situations, but in all circumstances. How may we promote a greater feeling of inclusiveness among members of society at wider levels such that boundaries become meaningless, and empathetic concern leads to more consistent positive action? Clearly this research offers inspiration for new approaches to camaraderie building across groups, communities, states, and even nations.
