21、There was once a professor of medicine, who was very strict with the students. Whenever he took the chair on the exam committee (担任考试委员会主席), the students would be in fear, because he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the exam room and got seated before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all.
The professor began to ask. The student was required to describe a certain illness, his description of which turned out to be OK.
Then the professor asked about the cure (治疗) for illness, and the student, too, answered just as right.
“Good,” said the professor, “ and how much will you give the patient?”
“A full spoon”, answered the student.
“Now you may go out and wait for what you can get.”, said the professor. At the same time, the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer. “ A full spoon is too much,” he thought to himself. Anxiously he opened the door of the room and cried, “Mr. Professor, I’ve make a mistake! A full spoon is too much for a patient. He can take only five drops.”

22、 A campaign in the United Kingdom that seeks to pressure publishers to stop labeling children’s books according to gender(性别) is being given a push, with leading writers and at least one newspaper expressing support.
“We’re asking children’s publishers to take the ‘Boys’ and ‘Girls’ labels off books and allow children to choose freely what kinds interest them.” says the statement by the Let Books Be Books campaign. The organizers of the campaign say, “Such labels send out very limiting massages to children about what kinds of things are appropriate for girls or for boys.”
On Sunday, the movement got an important advance when the newspaper The Independent announced it would no longer comment on such books, or even blog about them. “Happily, as the literary editor of The Independent, there is something that I can do about this. So I promise now that the newspaper and this website will not be reviewing any book which is aimed at just girls, or just boys. Nor will The independent’s books section.” wrote editor Katy Guest.
The Guardian reports that one of Britain’s biggest bookstore chains, Waterstones, as well as U.K. Children’s Laureate Malorie Blackman, and U.K. Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy have also announced their support. “The campaign is attacking titles such as Usborne’s Illustrated Classics for Boys, described by the publisher as ‘a collection of action, adventure and daring-do stories suitable for boys,’ while its Illustrated Stories for Girls contains ‘brand new stories about princesses and dolls,’ ” The Guardian wrote.
But such a movement would also affect many popular and beloved books, such as the best selling The Dangerous Book for Boys. It’s clear not everyone thinks removing “for boys” and “for girls” from book titles is such a good idea. Many of The Independent’s readers are criticizing the newspaper’s announcement that it is banning reviews of such books.
“This is just stupidity,” wrote one reader on The Independent’s website. “The Independent has been an intelligent publication in my mind since I was a very young boy. So sad to see that change.”
【1】What is The Let Books Be Books campaign?
A.It teaches kids about appropriateness.
B.It opposes gendered children’s books.

B.Publish more children’s books on its website.

A.They aren’t suitable for children.
B.They shouldn’t have similar titles.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

23、Scientists in Argentina have created the world’s first cow to own two human genes that will enable it to produce human-like milk, which is matchless up to now. It is a breakthrough in the area of clone.
Genetic engineering was used to introduce the "mothers’ milk" genes into the animal before birth, according to the National Institute of Agribusiness Technology in Buenos Aires.
As an adult, the cloned cow "will produce milk that is similar to humans" in what will prove "a development of great importance for the nutrition of infants", it said in a statement.
"The cloned cow, named Rosita ISA, is the first one born in the world that owns two human genes that contain the proteins present in human milk," the statement said.
In April, scientists in China published details of research showing that they had created GM Holstein dairy cows which produced milk containing proteins found in human breast milk.
But the Argentine team says the Chinese only introduced one human gene, whereas their research involved two genes meaning the milk will more closely resemble that of humans.
Rosita ISA was born on April 6 and was delivered by Caesarean section because she weighed around 100 pounds, roughly twice the normal weight of Jersey cows.
Adrian Mutto, from the National University of San Martin said "Our goal was to raise nutritional value of cows’ milk by adding two human genes, the protein lactoferrin and lysozyme, which can provide newly-born babies with anti-bacterial and anti-viral protection."
Cristina Kirchner, President of Argentina, said that the scientific institute "makes all proud.” She also revealed that she had rejected the "honor" of having the cow named after her. "They came to tell me that the name is Cristina, but what woman would like to have a cow named after her? It appeared to me to be more appropriate to call it Rosita.”
【1】What can we know about Rosita ISA according to the passage?
A. It is as heavy as Jersey cows.
B. It is the first cow with a human gene.
C. Its milk has the same proteins as human breast milk.
D. Its milk has larger nutritional value than others’.
【2】 Lactoferrin and lysozyme in milk ______.
A. are good for babies’ health
B. help provide more milk from cow
C. can increase the production of milk
D. can offer more proteins in cow milk
【3】We can infer from the last paragraph that ______.
A. it is hard to name the cow
B. honorable as it is, no women like the cow named after them
C. the president wants the cow named after her
D. Cristina Kirchner objects to creating the cloned cow
【4】What would be the best title of the passage?
A. Scientists in Argentina could produce human milk
B. The cloned cow would bring about benefits
C. Scientists create cow that produces "human" milk
D. How was the cloned cow born?
24、Do Smartphones Make Us Smarter?
Should teachers allow cellphones in a classroom? Teachers worry that phones distract students during class, but phones can also be a research tool. The question is not just whether or not smartphones are useful in class. It’s also about negotiating a shift in education, where students use technology to participate in their own learning. Then again, even if phones can be used for assignments, students can be easily tempted into answering texts or checking social media instead.
A recent study on the way smartphones interfere with learning might help shed some light on the issue. In April 2017, researchers published findings showing how students were affected by their phones in the classroom. They explored the differences in student performance in four cases: open phone use allowed, phones allowed in the room but could not be used, no phones in the classroom and a non-instruction control group. After watching a 20-minute video, students took a short quiz. The result? Students in a room without any cellphones performed significantly better on the test. Scientists believe the way we attach ourselves to our phones could be the problem.
Have our phones controlled our minds?
It feels as if smartphones have been around forever. But the first iPhone only came out in 2007, just eleven years ago. In these eleven short years, phones have become a major part of our lives. They have become so entrenched (根深蒂固的) in society that many people are lost without them.
Technology developers such as Google would like us to use smartphones in all parts of daily lives. Through the ready access of information, the goal is to enlarge human intelligence. With mobile devices, we can use digital assistants like Siri to answer questions without even typing a word.
We are now in an age when many people can’t imagine life without a phone. There is even a name for the anxiety caused by not having one -nomophobia. This is the powerful feeling people get when they don’t have signal, their battery is about to die, or they are separated from their phone. This fear of missing out on important information or connections can have a controlling effect on our lives. And it can divide our attention from other important things, such as learning.
【1】Why do teachers worry about smartphones’ distracting students during class according to the passage?
A.Because smartphones can be used as a research tool.
B.Because students can use smartphones to discuss.
C.Because students can’t help doing something else in class.
D.Because smartphones can do assignments for students.
【2】What does the phrase shed light on in Para 2 most probably mean?
A.discover accidentally B.describe correctly
C.develop gradually D.explain clearly
【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Smartphones have already become a part of our life.
B.Smartphones have already controlled our minds.
C.Typewriters will disappear due to smartphones.
D.People will become smarter thanks to smartphones.
【4】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.People can’t live normally without a phone nowadays.
B.Some diseases are actually connected with a phone.
C.A phone will control our life completely some day.
D.A phone is greatly distracting our attention from learning.
