26、Scientists may have found a way to reduce shortage of type O blood. Type O is the kind of blood that hospitals most often need. What the researchers are testing is an easier way to make type O blood out of other kinds of blood.

There are four main kinds of blood. Most people are born with one of these four: Type A, Type B, Type AB or Type O. Type O can be safely given to anyone. So it is commonly used when a person is injured or sick and has to have blood.

Type O is the most common blood group. But the supplies of it available in hospitals and blood banks are usually limited. This is because of the high demand for it. Type O blood is used in emergencies when there is no time to identify the patient’s blood type.

Giving A, B or AB to someone with a different blood type, including O, can cause a bad reaction by the person’s defense system. Their immune system can reject the blood. This immune reaction can be deadly.

The differences among blood types are linked to whether or not red blood cells contain certain kinds of sugar molecules (分子). These molecules are found on the surface of the cells. They are known as antigens (抗原), these antigens are found with Type A, B and AB blood but not with Type O.

More than twenty-five years ago, scientists found that the antigens could be removed to create what they called universal-type cells. They could be removed with chemicals called enzymes (酶). But large amounts of enzymes were required to make the change.

Doctor Henrik Clausen of the University of Copenhagen in Denmark led the study. The next step, he says, is to complete safety tests. The team is working with the American company ZymeQuest to test the new method. If it meets safety requirements and is not too costly, it will become a widely used life-saving tool to increase the supply of universal blood.

【1】How do scientists deal with the problem of lacking type O blood?

A．Make type O blood out of other kinds of blood.

B．Make the most of the present type O blood.

C．Develop new ways of using type O blood.

D．Appeal to more people to donate type O blood.

【2】What make people have different kinds of blood?

A．Sugar molecules in red blood cells.

B．Peopled different living conditions.

C．The variety of people’s cells and genes.

D．People’s various immune systems.

【3】What can we infer from the text?

A．Antigens could not be removed to create universal blood.

B．A Danish company wanted to involve itself in studying blood.

C．Type O blood and Type AB blood can be safely given to anyone.

D．The new method is not safe enough to be put into use in hospitals now.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Four Different Kinds of Blood.

B．A New Way to Make Type O Blood.

C．The Latest Research on Blood Type.

D．Find the Proper Type of Blood.

27、If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you don't need to feel surprised. They are a flash mob(快闪族). Who are they? Are they mobs? Don’t be confused by their name. Actually, a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly disappear.

They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks. The messages may be sent to friends, who send to more people. At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some activities such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their voice for 30 seconds. Then, they quickly disappear before the police can arrive. Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change its place if the first one has been cancelled for any reason.

Bill Wasik, senior editor of Hamper’s Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on June 3, 2003. Wasik claimed that he created the flash mob as a social experiment designed to laugh at fashion seekers and stress the cultural atmosphere of wanting to be an insider or part of "the next big thing”.

Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people. Such an activity might seem amusing and magical, but it also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. Undoubtedly, flash mob can serve as good political tools and have great potential, such as using flash mob to advertise a product.

The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular. People use it to do many things. Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.

【1】What can you learn about the flash mob from the passage?

A. The flash mob usually breaks up quickly for lacking enough time.

B. Once the place for the activity is determined, it can’t be changed.

C. The flash mob can be made use of in many fields just for fun.

D. It gives people the chance to come together to do something unusual.

【2】How do flash mobs inform one another?

① By using the Internet.

② By writing letters.

③ By yelling.

④ By waving hands.

⑤ By using mobile phones

⑥ By holding a meeting

A. ③④

B. ①⑤

C. ②⑥

D. ⑤⑥

【3】The writer’s attitude towards the flash mob is ________.

A. negative

B. objective

C. favorable

D. doubtful

28、Thousands of years ago, Britain was covered by thick forests, home to many animals which no longer live in the United Kingdom. There were wolves, and bears, many different kinds of deer and large wild cows. There were less than four million people. They lived in small villages protected by wooden walls from the animals outside.

All this has changed, of course. Now the population of the United Kingdom has increased to sixty-five million. Three-quarters of Britain is covered with fields, towns or cities. Although 25 percent of land is countryside, new methods of farming mean that there are few birds and small animals living in fields than ever before. The United Kingdom is one of the few countries in the world that does not have a large wild animal that eats meat. In Scotland there are only 400 wildcats, but these are much smaller than wolves.

Some people would like to change things, however! Some organizations (组织) and writers say that Britain needs to become more natural again. They suggest that trees and plants that grew in the UK before towns and cities were built should be allowed to grow again. They even say that large wild animals which have not lived in the UK should be helped to return and live wild. They call this “rewilding”.

Not everyone agrees. In the last twenty years, over one million trees which at first grew in Scotland have been planted and there are plans for more—but wild animals? Some people ask if wolves will attack (攻击) sheep or even humans. They are also angry that rewilding might mean an end to walking in the hills which so many people enjoy. So far there are no wolves or bears in Britain’s forests—but soon there might be!

【1】Why are there fewer birds and small animals in fields in the UK?

A．Because more trees have been planted.

B．Because there are larger wild animals.

C．Because pollution is much worse than before.

D．Because people use new methods of farming.

【2】What are some people against?

A．Living closer to nature.

B．Planting more and more trees.

C．Helping large wild animals return.

D．Building more villages and towns.

【3】What’s the best title for the text?

A．Making Britain wild again

B．A trip to wild Britain

C．An introduction to Britain

D．Protecting the environment

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I had been swimming competitively for five years but after such a long time, I was ready to quit. I was often the only African American at the swimming competitions and our team couldn’t afford good uniforms. However, my number-one reason for wanting to quit was that I kept receiving “Honorable Mentions (荣誉奖)”. Any athlete knows that you don’t want to have a bookshelf full of “Honorable Mentions”, which you get just because you showed up.

One summer’s day, the day before a big swim meeting, I decided to tell my grandma that I was quitting the swim team. When I told her, she looked me in the eye and said, “Baby, remember these words ‘Quitters never win and winners never quit.’ Your grandmother didn’t raise losers or quitters. You go to that meeting tomorrow, and you swim like you are a grandchild of mine, you hear?” I was too afraid to say anything but “Yes, ma’am.”

The next day we arrived at the swim meeting late, missing my group of swimmers in the 15/16 age group. My coach insisted I should be allowed to swim with the older group. I knew she expected me to take part.

As I mounted the board, all the other girls looked at me. I quickly noticed that these girls were all here to do just one thing — beat me. All of a sudden, my grandma’s words rang in my head, “Quitters never win and winners never quit. You swim like you are a grandchild of mine.” “Yes, Grandma, I will swim like I am a grandchild of yours,” I said to myself.

续写要求：

1．续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

The match began! I swam harder than I had ever swum before.
