24、   Imagine having an ear made out of an apple. It seems like a crazy idea from a horror movie. But it could happen in the near future.

Canadian biophysicist, Andrew Pelling used an apple to grow a human ear. He thinks fruit and vegetables can be used to cheaply repair human body parts in the future.

Scientists have been trying to grow organs( 器官) in labs to replace our old ones. But it is a hard Job. For example, liver cells( 肝细胞)can grow in a lab, but the cells still need things like blood vessels( 血管) to actually work. These things have to grow inside a scaffold(支架) In the past, scientists have used manmade materials, animal parts and even dead people as scaffolds. But that has proved to be difficult and expensive.

Pelling and his team, however, found the apple to be a cheap and easy to use scaffold.

They first out an apple into the shape of an ear. Then they used a special way to take out the apple’s cells and make it a scaffold. The team then added human cells to the apple and watched it grow

You can implant these scaffolds into the body, and the body will send in cells and a blood supply and actually keep these things alive, “Pelling said during a Ted Talk speech.

The team put the apple scaffold inside a living mouse and the mouse’s cells slowly took over the pieces of apple.

Now Pelling is thinking of other fruit, plants or vegetables to use,

He says that the shape of flower petals could be perfect for repairing skin. And asparagus(芦苇) could fix a broken spine(脊柱).

Now, Pelling and his team are trying hard to put these crazy ideas into reality

【1】Pelling’s idea of manmade ear seems crazy because he used ________ as scaffolds.

A.animal parts B.dead people

C.manmade materials D.ordinary apples

【2】The underlined word “implant” in Paragraph 7 probably means ________.

A.pick B.put C.produce D.protect

【3】Which is the right order of making an ear out of an apple according to the passage

a. Put the apple scaffold inside a mouse.

b. Add human cells to the apple scaffold.

c. Cut an apple into the shape of an ear.

d. Make the apple ear a scaffold.

e. Take out the apple’s cells in a special way.

A.abcde B.bedae C.cedba D.cdaeb

【4】From the last three paragraphs, we can infer that Pelling will experiment with other fruit, plants or vegetables ________.

A.to make human ears B.to repair burnt skin

C.to fix a broken spine D.to make human body parts

25、China launched the Shenzhou-13 manned spacecraft early on Saturday morning, carrying three astronauts who will stay inside the country’s Tiangong space station for six months. It is transporting Major General Zhai Zhigang, the mission commander, Senior Colonel Wang Yaping and Senior Colonel Ye Guangfu to Tiangong’s core module（舱）Tianhe, or Harmony of Heavens.

Wang is China’s second female astronaut to participate in a spaceflight and was a member of the Shenzhou-10 mission in June 2013. She will become the first Chinese woman to enter the Tiangong space station and conduct a spacewalk. Zhai is the country’s first astronaut to take a spacewalk, having done so when he was mission commander during the Shenzhou-7 mission in September 2008. Ye is making his first journey to space.

“△ The trip used to take about two days, but this time, it took only 6.5 hours after leaving the earth,” said Gao Xu, one designer of the Shenzhou-13. This is as long as a high-speed train trip from Beijing to Hunan.

The Shenzhou-13 crew is tasked with a wide range of tasks, including performing two to three spacewalks to install a small robotic arm onto a larger one; verifying key procedures and technologies such as the manual control of the robotic arms and the robotic arm-assisted movement of station modules; checking the performance and capability of devices inside the station; and testing support instruments for astronauts’ lives and work during long-term flights. They will conduct scientific experiments and technology demonstrations in space medicine, microgravity physics and other fields.

【1】How long will the Shenzhou-13 crew stay in space?

A．For half a year.

B．For a few days.

C．For three months.

【2】Which can best replace “△” in the passage?

A．It didn’t take long for the spacemen to reach the space station.

C．It took a few days for the spacemen to reach the space station.

【3】The underlined word “manned” means________ in the passage.

A．Ye Guangfu is making his second journey to space.

B．The Shenzhou-13 crew will check the performance and capability of devices inside the station.

27、   Children grow quickly, especially their feet. But many families cannot afford (买得起) new shoes each time. As a result, about 300 million children around the world go barefoot(赤脚), those children risk picking up diseases and parasites (寄生虫) from the soil.

Kenton Lee, an American, has a solution for those barefoot kids -- a shoe that grows with the child. He explains how the shoe works and how it is able to last so long. “It grows in three places: the front, the sides with velcro (尼龙搭扣) and the back with a buckle (扣环). It can last up to five years. The bottom is made of compressed rubber (压缩橡胶), and the top is high-quality leather. The shoes come in two sizes: small that fits children aged 4 to 9 and large for children aged 9 to 14.”

Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in Kenya. “There were many children with too small shoes for their feet, but they were too poor to buy a new one. So they had to cut open the front of the shoes to let their toes stick out. I want to do something to help them, so I invent these shoes.”

Up to now, they have sent more than 50,000 pairs of shoes to 70 countries. A pair of shoes, he says, gives a child not only protection, but also self-worth. It's a small invention but really does make a big difference in these children's life.

【1】What's the main reason for not wearing a pair of shoes that mentioned in this passage?

A.For beauty. B.For fashion. C.For health. D.For wealth(财富).

【2】Where do the shoes grow?

①The front. ②The bottom.   ③The sides.   ④The top.   ⑤The back.

A.①③⑤ B.①②④ C.②③④ D.②④⑤

【3】Who may like this kind of shoes according to the passage?

A.A 1-year- old child. B.A 3-year-old child.

C.An 11-year-old child. D.A 15-year-old child.

【4】Why does Kenton Lee invent this kind of shoes?

A.Because he wants to be famous. B.Because he wants to be a designer

C.Because he wants to earn much money. D.Because he wants to help the poor children.

【5】This passage most probably comes from _________.

A.a poem B.a newspaper. C.an ad D.a poster

28、   Studying hard for a few days can be tiring, but it always pays off! Most people can c【1】 remember the fear they felt when they realized that an exam was coming near. If you are in this situation, don’t w【2】. Many people have proved that there is enough time to study if you organize it well. Here are some i【3】 to help you.

Calm down! Fear will only make your situation much w【4】. You will be focusing on the horror, not the coming exam. Many times, fear can even stop you from doing well in the exam. If you are nervous, take a deep b【5】, and tell yourself that you can do this well.

Study the most important topics first. Exams usually cover a few main ideas, contents, or skills. When you are short of time, go o【6】 the most important topics in textbooks and the parts your teacher said again and again. These are all clues for you to study first.

Decide what subjects you don’t know enough about. Do more study on these subjects because some parts probably still r【7】 reviewing, but they will come to you more easily this time. Then you can try to focus on more challenging topics.

Studying t【8】 can be helpful. Since you don’t get any extra points for reviewing your lessons alone, classmates can be really helpful in studying. Ask for help from your parents, brothers or sisters. They may really enjoy being asked. From a study group, you not o【9】 have the advantage of studying with people who you are familiar with, you also have more c【10】 to make more friends and have more additional help through helping each other.
