22、In an age when most Chinese people thought that a lunar eclipse (月食) was a sign of angry gods, Wang Zhenyi (1768-1797), an astronomer and mathematician who worked tirelessly to publish her discoveries about space, said, “Actually, it’s definitely because of the Moon.”

Wang was born at a time when feudal (封建的) customs in China prevented girls from getting a formal education. However, she was fortunate that her family encouraged her in learning. Her grandfather, a former district governor, shared his knowledge of astronomy with her, while her father, a medicinal scholar, taught her basic math. Despite being denied formal education, Wang was determined to learn and became self-taught, studying a vast collection of books on various subjects.

One of Wang’s most famous demonstrations involved creating a model to explain a lunar eclipse. After consulting decades of astronomical records, she used a lamp, a mirror and a round table to respectively symbolize the Sun, the Moon and the Earth. By moving the objects around, she was able to show that a lunar eclipse happened when the Moon passed directly behind the Earth and moved into its shadow. Her article The Explanation of a Lunar Eclipse is still considered highly accurate for its time.

During the Qing dynasty, the Western calendar was introduced to China. Wang argued for its adoption because it was based on the movement of the Sun. Many Chinese scholars rejected the idea for it had come from the West, to which Wang simply responded, “What counts is the usefulness, no matter whether it is Chinese or Western.”

To make math and science accessible to common people, she spent years publishing articles hoping to make these ancient and poorly understood concepts easier to digest. She explained the rotation (旋转) of the planets, and even the Pythagorean theorem (勾股定理) for beginners.

Unfortunately, most of Wang Zhenyi’s works have not passed the test of time, but her contributions continue to be recognized in modern times. In 1994, the International Astronomical Union named a crater (环形山) on Venus after her. Wang’s legacy continues to inspire and encourage future generations to pursue knowledge and innovation.”

【1】Why was it difficult for Wang to receive a formal education?

A．Her family emphasizes her self-taught education.

B．Her family encourage her to follow feudal customs.

C．She came from a upper class family with a good schooling.

D．She lived in a time when girls were not allowed to attend school.

【2】Which of the following best describe Wang’s personalities?

A．She was dependent and curious.

B．She was intelligent and open-minded.

C．She was determined and narrow-minded.

D．She was hard-working and emotional.

【3】Wang’s contributions include all the following except ______.

A．introducing the Western calendar to China.

B．arguing for the adoption of the Western calendar.

C．translating complex theories into simple concepts.

D．explaining a lunar eclipse using simple everyday objects.

【4】What is one way that Wang’s legacy is recognized to inspire future generations?

A．Her books are widely read today.

B．A lunar crater was named Wang Zhenyi.

C．A crater on Venus was named after her.

D．She was awarded a Prize for determination after death.

23、

A group of researchers led by Patrick Yu-Wai-Man. an ophthalmologist (眼科医师) at Cambridge University, investigated a new genetic therapy for a form of blindness. Officially, their study was a failure. But it was also a great success, for 29 of the 37 participants reported big improvements in their vision.

The disease in question is Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON)(遗传性视神经病变) .A defective gene leads to sudden and rapid loss of sight, with many sufferers becoming legally blind within a year. It affects between one in 30,000 and one in 50,000 people. Men in their 20s and 30s are particularly at high risk. Since most cases are caused by a mutation (突变) in a single gene, LHON is a good candidate for gene therapy, a form of genetic engineering which aims to replace the defective gene with a working one.

With that in mind. Dr Yu-Wai-Man and his colleagues loaded up a changed virus with a corrected copy of the gene and injected it into their patients' eyes. The researchers controlled the experiment by injecting only one of each patient's eyes--chosen at random--with the virus. The other eye was given a fake injection. Using two eyes in the same patient makes for a perfect control.

The surprise came several months later. The researchers had hoped to see a big improvement in the treated eyes, compared with the untreated ones. They did not, for which the study failed in its primary objective. Instead, in more than three quarters of their patients, they saw significant improvements in both eyes.

On the face of it, that was odd. Only one eye had received the treatment, after all. Follow-up studies in monkeys confirmed what the researchers had suspected. The virus, it seemed, had found a way to travel from one eye to the other, probably via the optic nerve. Tissues and fluids samples from monkeys given the same treatment as the human patients showed viral DNA in both eyes, not just one.

Although it had a happy outcome in this case, the prospect of a gene-therapy virus travelling to places it is not intended to go to might worry regulators. Fortunately, the researchers found no trace of the virus elsewhere in the monkeys’ bodies. And. though the study was technically a failure, its practical success means that an effective treatment for LHON may at last be in reach.

【1】LHON is chosen in this study because it________

A．can be easily cured

B．affects young males mostly

C．is a common disease among people

D．results from a mutation in a single gene

【2】Why was the study a great success despite a failure officially?

A．Some participants suffered loss of sight

B．The vision of both eyes improved greatly

C．All the participants gave positive feedback

D．The virus didn’t replace the damaged gene

【3】The experiment on monkeys is mentioned in order to________

A．confirm the virus travels across eyes

B．prove the virus can affect other body parts

C．show the effect of the treatment on animals

D．highlight regulators' worry about gene-therapy

【4】Which is the best title for the passage?

A．The Future of Gene Therapy

B．The Blessing for Eye Patients

C．Gene Therapy: Eyeball to Eyeball

D．Virus Treatment: From Humans to Monkeys
