26、WE COMBAT ANIMAL DISEASES TOGETHER!

We want to prevent serious animal diseases such as foot and mouth disease, classical swine fever and African swine fever from spreading to Finland. These and other animal diseases can be transmitted from one country to another by animals or by meat and dairy products even if they are packed for personal consumption or intended as gifts. Travelers like you play an important role in preventing the spread of animal diseases.

Don’t bring meat, meat products, milk and dairy products from non-EU countries to Finland!

A ban on personal imports applies to meat and dairy products brought into Finland by travelers or ordered and sent through the post. The ban applies to food stuffs intended for personal consumption or as gifts and to pet food. If you have food products of animal origin with you, throw them in a waste container in the point of entry or contact Customs!

Bringing meat-containing products as presents and for personal use from an EU country to Finland

At the moment, there are EU countries with cases of African swine fever. In those countries there are restriction areas and, as a rule, pork and wild bear meat or products containing these meats may not be imported from these areas into Finland. Import is allowed only under very strict criteria controlled by local authorities. However, the sales of these meat products within the country may be allowed. In the EU, the disease has been detected in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Belgium and Italy (Sardinia), for instance. It is difficult for travelers to know and prove from which area meat products originate and whether the products on sale meet all criteria. This is the reason why we recommend that people avoid importing any meat products containing pork or wild bear meat as presents or for personal use from countries with African swine fever.

PLEASE NOTE! Never leave any food waste or leftover in the environment or places where they may be eaten by wildlife. Never give food waste or leftover to production animals or to pet pigs.

Thank you for helping us to prevent the spread of animal diseases. We wish you a pleasant journey!

27、   In 1977, a University of Oxford statistician named Richard Peto pointed out a simple yet puzzling biological fact: we humans should have a lot more cancer than mice, but we don’t.

Dr. Peto’s argument was simple. Every time a cell divides, there’s a small chance it will gain a mutation(突变) that speeds up its growth. Cells that accumulate (聚集) several of these mutations may become cancerous. The bigger an animal is, the more cells it has, and the longer an animal lives, the more times its cells divide. We humans undergo (经历) about 10,000 times as many cell divisions as mice—and thus should be far more likely to get cancer.

A number of scientists have assumed that large, long-lived animals must have evolved extra cancer-fighting weapons. Otherwise, these species would die out.

Dr. Joshua D. Schiffman, an oncologist (肿瘤学家）at the Huntsman Cancer Institute, reviewed zoo records on the deaths of 644 elephants and found that less than 5 percent died of cancer. By contrast, 11 percent to 25 percent of humans die of cancer.

To understand the elephants’ defenses, the scientists investigated a gene that is vital to preventing cancer called p53. The protein encoded by the gene monitors cells for damage to the DNA they contain. Dr. Schiffman and his colleagues found that elephants have evolved new copies of the p53 gene. While humans have only one pair of p53 genes, the scientists identified 20 pairs in elephants.

To see whether these extra copies of p53 made a difference in fighting cancer, they ran experiments on elephant cells. They treated elephant cells with damaging radiation, chemicals and UV light.

“In all cases, instead of trying to repair the damage, the elephant cells simply committed suicide” said Dr. Schiffman. He said he thought the way the elephant cells responded was a very effective way to block cancer.

Patricia Muller, an oncologist at the MRC Toxicology Unit at the University of Leicester, who was not involved in the studies, said the results, though convincing, didn’t firmly establish exactly how elephants use p53 to fight cancer. One possibility is that the extra copies don’t actually cause cells to commit suicide. Instead, they may act as decoys (诱饵) for enzymes (酶) that destroy p53 proteins.

Dr. Muller said it was especially important to understand precisely how elephants fight cancer before trying to copy their strategies with drugs for humans.

【1】What does the 2nd paragraph want to tell us?

A.Human should be more likely to develop cancer than mice.

B.Cell division can increase the speed of growth of mutations.

C.The bigger an animal is, the smaller chance of getting cancer it has.

D.Dr. Peto’s argument was not simple.

【2】According to the passage, p53 is ______.

A.a protein to prevent cancer B.a gene to defend against cancer

C.a protein to destroy damaged cells D.a gene to change cells

【3】What does Dr. Schiffman say about the extra copies of p53 fighting cancer?

A.They cause the cells to repair the genes.

B.They stop cells from dividing further.

C.They act as decoys for enzymes that destroy p53 proteins.

D.They cause the cells to commit suicide.

【4】Which of the following is TRUE?

A.Dr. Schiffman pointed out that we humans don’t have more cancer than mice.

B.The cancer death rate of humans is five percent higher than that of elephants.

C.The scientists found there are 20 pairs of p53 genes in elephants.

D.Dr. Muller also took part in the studies.

28、   On a sunny spring day, a group of children, four to seven-year- old, sit on their bicycles.

They wear helmets to protect their heads and gloves to protect their hands. Their mothers, watch them closely for fear that the children will fall off their bikes. The children are ready to learn how to ride.

Rachel Varn still remembers how she felt riding a bicycle for the first time. Now her job is helping children experience that moment. Rachel Varn left her job of selling bicycles to become a trainer for bicycle riding last year. She founded Pedal Power Kids to teach bicycle education.

Before starting a ride, she teaches the children how to make sure the bicycles are in good condition for safe use. She calls it “the ABC quick check.” A is for air, she explains. “We have to check our tires before we ride.” B is for brakes. We want to make sure our brakes work before we find ourselves on the top of a hill about to go down. And C is for chain. She says the chain must be clean.

The rest of the training is more fun. The children learn riding skills, from balance and pedaling to turning, starting and stopping. And they learn to keep their eyes up and look ahead while riding. Varn says many children struggle to do this. They look down at the pedals (踏板) instead. She adds, “Obviously that doesn’t allow them to see what’s going on around them, and it also doesn’t allow them to turn properly.”

Varn says watching where you are going helps you turn easier.

Learning to ride a bicycle can open a whole new world to children. It gives them a sense of success and freedom. They become more sensitive to their surroundings and better able to make safe, smart decisions going from one place to another.

Varn’s goal is to get more children on two wheels. Since starting Pedal Power Kids last year, Varn has helped around 250 new riders.

【1】How do the mothers feel when the children are ready to learn riding?

A.Confident. B.Nervous.

C.Excited. D.Relaxed.

【2】What is “the ABC quick check” aimed to do?

A.To check if bikes are in safe condition for use.

B.To check if the tires are safe for them to use.

C.To make sure the brakes work.

D.To check whether the chain is clean.

【3】What will make it easier to turn the corner when riding a bike?

A.Stopping to look around. B.Looking down at the pedals.

C.Looking where they are going. D.Keeping their eyes up and looking up.

【4】What benefit can riding a bicycle bring according to the passage?

A.It opens a new world to the mothers.

B.It gives children a sense of achievement.

C.It helps children stay away from video games.

D.It makes children familiar with the surrounding.

29、   Standing at the top of the world, I cleared the ice from my oxygen mask（氧气面罩）， bent a shoulder forward against the wind, and stared absently down at the land of Tibet. Finally I had made it-the top of Mount Qomolangma.

I understood on some dim level（隐约地）that the earth down there was a grand sight. I’d been longing for this moment, and the excitement that would come with it. But now that I was finally here, actually standing on the top of Mount Qomolangma, I just couldn’t collect the energy to care.

It was early on the afternoon of May 10, 1996. I hadn’t slept for fifty-seven hours. My stomach was upset because the only food I’d been able to force down over the past three days was a bowl of soup. To make things worse, weeks of violent coughing had made ordinary breathing a bitter process. At 29,028 feet above the sea level, there was so little oxygen reaching my brain that I couldn’t think better than a slow child. Right now I could not feel much of anything except cold and tired. After taking four quick photos, I turned and headed down. I’d spent less than five minutes on the roof of the world.

Looking down the route we had climbed, I noticed something that until that moment had escaped my attention. To the south, where the sky had been perfectly clear just an hour earlier, a blanket of clouds now hid the lesser mountains surrounding. Nothing I saw early that day suggested that a violent storm was approaching. To my oxygen-exhausted mind, the clouds coming up the grand valley of ice appeared no different from the harmless clouds that rose from the valley almost every afternoon.

As I was climbing down, I began to get extremely anxious. However, my concern at that moment had little to do with the weather; I had almost run out of oxygen. I ought to have checked earlier. I needed to get down, fast.

【1】What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 mean?

A.The top of the world. B.The land of Tibet.

C.A grand sight. D.Reaching the top.

【2】Why did the writer leave the top so quickly?

A.He was exhausted and weak. B.He had dropped his camera.

C.An unexpected violent storm arrived. D.He had fear of heights.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A.The grand sight made the writer scream.

B.The weather on Qomolangma was changeable.

C.The writer was energetic and strong-minded.

D.The writer was experienced and well-prepared.

30、   Erik, an athletic child, lost his vision in his early teen. At first he_______to use a walking stick or learn Braille(盲文),_______he could do as well as any teenage.

31、

PISA is a two-hour test that compares the performance of 15-year-olds. In the latest test, the countries with the best readers were South Korea and Finland. But students in Shanghai. China, scored the highest of all in reading, mathematics and science. The next【1】 results were in Hong Kong. Singapore, Canada, New Zealand and Japan. In all, around half a million students in more than 70 【2】took the test last year. The test has been given every three years since 2000. Last year was the first time Shanghai took part.

Mr. ANDREAS SCHLEICHER says “Asian countries 【3】 education more than other countries. They have given education a【4】. Every child, every teacher, every parent knows that education is the【5】 to success.” He says other education systems can learn from Shanghai. For example, he says education spending in the province has increased, including teacher pay and training. And administrators are putting teachers into challenging classroom situations to make them 【6】at their jobs. Education Secretary Arne Duncan says that the results 【7】 an urgent need for Americans to do more to remain 【8】 in the world economy. He points out that the United States has fallen from first to ninth place in college graduation rates because of 【9】 by other countries.

Mr Schloichor says international testing experts have investigated and confirmed（证实）the Shanghai scores. He says the PISA results are not representative of all of China. But he also says they dispute the common belief that Chinese education【10】on repetition and memorization.
