24、Choose the best answer （根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案）

Nina is reading a book which described 37 endangered natural and cultural treasures in the world. The writers want the book to be a hopeful call to action. Let’s visit some of these places.

Venice

The ancient city of Venice, Italy has long been threatened（威胁）by rising sea levels. The situation is made worse by the fact that its ancient buildings, built on a body of water, are slowly sinking. When the city was founded about 1600 years ago, the level of the Adriatic Sea was almost 2 meters lower than it is today.

Mount Kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro in northeastern Tanzania, is the highest point in Africa, measuring almost 6,000 meters. The mountain supports 5 plant areas and many kinds of animals. The ice glaciers on the mountain are disappearing very quickly. This will have a bad effect on the mountain’s ecosystems（生态系统）and on Tanzania’s travel industry.

Also, a valuable record of thousands of years of weather history will also be lost if the ice melts.

Glacier National Park

In the United States, the icy blocks in Glacier National Park may soon completely disappear because of weather change. In 1850, there were about 150 glaciers（冰川）.There are 26 glaciers remaining today. Scientists estimate that the glaciers will be gone by 2030. Warm temperatures are also threatening the many kinds of plants and animals that live in this mountain ecosystem.

Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef in Australia is the largest coral reef（ 珊 瑚 礁 ）system in the world. Rising sea temperatures are greatly harming the reef. In some areas, healthy yellow, brown and green reefs have become white. The coral whitens when it is in warmer temperature. Sick or dying coral affects the whole ecosystem of this special underwater area. Water pollution and visits by careless swimmers and divers also threaten the reef.

25、   Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out.

Sir John Gurdon is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told he was hopeless in science and finished bottom of his class. However, aged 79, the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell(干细胞) researcher Shinya Yamanaka.

Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance(坚持不懈) can lead.

At the age of 15 in 1948, Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject. Gurdon's high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was quite ridiculous．

In spite of his teacher's criticism（批评）, Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab earlier and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.

“My own belief is that we will, in the end, understand everything about how cells actually work，” Gurdon said.

In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic(基因的) information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone(克隆) of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create the sheep Dolly in 1996, the first cloned mammal(哺乳动物) in the world.

In 2006, Gurdon's work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample(样本) of a person's skin can be used to create stem cells. Using this technique, doctors can repair a patient's heart after a heart attack.

“Luck favors the prepared mind，”Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. “Ninety percent of the time things don't work, but when they do, you have to seize (抓住) the chance.”

【1】Who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine?

A.Sir John Gurdon. B.Shinya Yamanaka.

C.Sir John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka. D.Gurdon's science teacher.

【2】What does the underlined word “ridiculous” mean in Chinese?

A.无知的 B.无畏的 C.荒废的 D.荒谬的

【3】According to the passage, which statement is true?

A.As a boy, Gurdon was told he was hopeful.

B.Gurdon ranked first at his high school in biology.

C.It's impossible for the doctors to repair a patient's heart after a heart attack.

D.In spite of his teacher's criticism, Gurdon kept working hard.

【4】What's the main idea of the passage?

A.Ninety percent of the time things don't work. B.Luck favors the prepared mind.

C.Life is full of surprises. D.How cells actually work.

27、Darling Kelli,

I’m so sorry I will not get to see you grow up as I so want to. Please don’t blame(责备) people or the world for this. A lot of life is simply luck and mine is running out.

I wish I had the words to make you feel better. I wish you didn’t have to see me in pain as you often do now. I wish so many things were different but they are not.

But while your old dad is still around, I thought I’d try to give you some life advice in one go. I hope it gives you some comfort. I hope cancer never returns so that your life is long, fulfilled and happy.

Everyone will say it’s of great importance to work hard at school. I hope you’ll always do your best. I did well at school but did it do me much good in life? Not really. Schoolwork is important, but make sure you have fun too.

You and your mom will argue(争吵）at times, especially when you’re a teenager. Please remember she loves you and wants the best for you. Give Mommy a hug when she is feeling sad. When you’re a teenager you might think your friends are right and your mom is wrong. But she has to make hard decisions for you. Treat her well.

You’ll have boyfriends when you’re older, so here’s some advice. It’s very hard to describe how it feels to really be in love. You might remember seeing your mom and I laughing together and cuddling(依偎）on the sofa, and once the love hearts and flowers fade(褪色) that’s what real love looks like. Have fun finding it.

Most important of all: Your laugh takes over your whole body. I hope you never lose that. There is no point in asking you not to be sad when I go. I know you will be, princess. And I wish I could be there to hug you until you smile again.

And finally, thank you for being you, Kelli. Enjoy your life. Don’t rush through it. All my love, always, goes to you, princess.

28、   Have you seen the Hollywood movie Sherlock Holmes? Holmes is a character created by British writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. His books were so popular that Holmes soon b【1】"the most famous detective in the world." What do you need to be a good detective? The movie Sherlock Holmes will show you.

In this movie, this great detective faces a dangerous man, Lord Blackwood. Together with his best friend Dr. Watson, Holmes stops Blackwood's plan to c 【2】 the world with black  "magic".

Most of us are not as intelligent as Holmes. But we can also work out mysteries on our  own. All we have to do is to follow some simple rules.

Rule No. 1: Justice（正义）is the most important.

No matter how smart he or she is, the most important quality for a detective is being good. In the movie, Lord Blackwood and Sherlock Holmes are both very intelligent. The d 【3】is that Lord Blackwood is a bad man and he does bad things. Holmes can beat him on the side of justice.

Rule No. 2: Have sharp eyes.

Every bad man tries to cover up what he did. But not all things can be covered up easily. A good detective can discover clues hidden at crime scenes with sharp eyes. For example, Holmes can simply look at a man's footprints and q 【4】ind out his personal information like age and  habits.

Rule No. 3: A good a 【5】is a great help.

Even though Holmes has knowledge about many s 【6】, such as chemistry, botany（植物学）and anatomy（解剖学）, he still needs Dr. Watson's help to solve mysteries. You should also have someone to help you, especially if you don't know as much as Holmes.

Rule No. 4: Logic（逻辑）is the key.

A good detective never jumps to conclusions. When all the necessary clues are put together, you'd better think carefully. If you can't work it out, don't be a 【7】. Just take a deep breath and concentrate on thinking. Logic can help you discover missing clues.

29、A 70-year-old Chinese woman has been called “Super Granny” after it was reported that she is _______ about running and has completed over 100 marathons（马拉松） so far.

More people _______ to take it easy after they retire（退休）, but Wang Guilan, from Liaoning, is certainly not one of them. She only started running at the age of 50, as a _______ to keep in shape, but soon realized it was her passion（酷爱）. She ran her first marathon in 2004 and hasn’t _______ since. From 2005 to 2017, she completed the Beijing Marathon thirteen times, and this year she set a new record, becoming the _______ person to ever complete the 168-kilometer Liaoning marathon.

“This lady is as old as my grandmother, how can she run so fast? That’s surprising,” a runner in his twenties said after seeing Wang compete _______ the Liaoning marathon in April. Last year, she ran for the 110 km version of the marathon with her friend. It was reported that she waited for her friend to catch up for about 5-6 hours _______ they could cross the finishing line together, but this year she took part in the marathon by herself, and chose the longest distance.

So _______ can a 70-year-old stay in good condition to complete a marathon, while most people half her _______ couldn’t finish?
