The findings give hope to some people with severe facial disfigurement and suggest the transplants could prove longlasting without major problems.Despite the tissue rejection in the first year after their transplants，neither men had psychological problems accepting their new faces and have been able to rejoin society，they reported. Only three people have received face transplants.The worlds first was carried out on French woman Isabelle Dinoire in November 2005 after she was disfigured in an attack by her dog.In 2007，her doctors reported that she had recovered slowly and steadily，overcoming two periods of rejection. In 2006，Chinese doctors performed a face transplant on a 30yearold hit by a bear.While there were some complications with tissue rejection following the operation，two years later the man was doing well，his doctors said.“This case suggests that facial transplantation might be an option for restoring a severely disfigured face，and could enable patients to bring themselves back into society，” Shuzhong Guo and colleagues at Xijing Hospital in China wrote. A French team described their work on a 29yearold man who suffered from Von Recklinghausen disease，an illness that changes the shape of his face.“The man，who was not named，was given a new nose，mouth and chin in a 2007 operation.He began to work 13 months after the transplant has more function in his face and has not rejected the new tissue，” his doctors said. “Our case confirms that face transplantation is practical and effective for the correction of specific disfigurement，” Dr.Laurent Lantieri and colleagues at the HenriMondor hospital outside Paris wrote.26Whats the main idea of this passage?AFace transplants can work.BFace transplants help regain confidence.CThree people have received face transplants.DDisfigured people need face transplants.27What happened to the Chinese patient mentioned in the passage?AHe got a strange illness when he was young.BHe received several operations in hospital.CHe was the first person to receive a face transplant.DHe was once attacked by an animal.28From the passage we can learn that _.Adoctors have different opinions on facial disfigurementBpatients could regain selfconfidence after face transplantsCthe new face of every patient has more functions than expectedDit is easy for disabled people to be accepted by society29The underlined word “restoring” in Paragraph 4 means “_”Aremoving BrecoveringCrepairing Drejecting30What problem resulted from the facial operations?AThe patients wouldnt accept the facial change.BIt was hard for the patients to get along with others.CIt took some time for the patients to recover from the operation.DThe patients usually suffered from tissue rejection.B Romedoctors and medical groups around the world last weekend reacted with strong opposition to the news that an Italian specialist is on_the_brink_of cloning the first human baby. Dr.Severino Antinori，who is the head of a hospital in Rome，has been referred to in an Arab newspaper as claiming that one of his patients is eight weeks pregnant with a cloned baby. Antinori refused to comment on the reports，but in March 2001 he said he hoped to produce a cloned embryo for implantation within two years.So far seven different kinds of mammals have already been successfully cloned，including sheep，cats and most recently rabbits. Doctors showed their doubt and were strongly opposed although they admitted that human cloning would finally come true unless there was a worldwide ban on the practice. Professor Rudolf Jaenisch of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said，“I find it astonishing that people do this where the result can be foretold that it will not be a normal baby.It is using humans as guinea pigs.It makes people feel sick.” But Ronald Green，director of the Ethics Institute at Darmouth College in the US，said it was unlikely that an eightweekold pregnancy would lead to a birth.So far all cloned animals have suffered from some different serious disorders，many of them dying soon after their births. Doctors are opposed to human cloning because they are worried about the welfare of the cloned child if there is one. “There are no benefits of cloning human beings，just harm，” said Dr.Michael Wilks of the UK.31What do the underlined words “on the brink of” in the first paragraph most probably mean?AOn the side of.BOn the point of. CIn search of. DIn favor of.32The doctors general attitude to cloning humans according to the passage is that_.Athey are against it Bthey support itCthey pay no attention to it Dthey welcome it33What does the underlined word “ban” in the fourth paragraph most probably mean?Aorder that forbids cloning.Bsuggestion on carrying on cloning.Canger at cloning.Dcheer for cloning.34Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?ADoctor Severino Antinori is strongly opposed to cloning human beings.BUp to now，seven kinds of animals have been cloned，including sheep，cats，humans and rabbits.CProfessor Rudolf Jaenisch is carrying out an experiment on cloning an eightweekold embryo.DRonald Green doubts about the future successful birth of socalled cloned embryo.35Where is the passage probably taken from?AA textbook. BA magazine.CA newspaper. DA digest.C Marie Curie was a Polish physicist and chemist who lived between 18671934.Together with her husband，Pierre，she discovered two new elements (radium and polonium，two radioactive elements that they extracted chemically from pitchblended ore) and studied the xrays they emitted.She found that the harmful properties of xrays were able to kill tumors.By the end of World War ，Marie Curie was probably the most famous woman in the world.She had made a conscious decision，however，not to patent methods of processing radium or its medical applications. Marie Curie was born on November 7,1867 in Poland and died on July 4,1934.Her codiscovery with her husband Pierre Curie of the radioactive elements radium and polonium represents one of the bestknown stories in modern science for which they were recognized in 1901 with the Nobel Prize in Physics.In 1911，Marie Curie was honored with a second Nobel Prize，this time in Chemistry，to honor her for successfully isolating pure radium and determining radiums atomic weight. As a child，Marie Curie amazed people with her great memory.She learned to read when she was only four years old.Her father was a professor of science and the instruments that he kept in a glass case fascinated Marie.She dreamed of becoming a scientist，but that would not be easy.Her family became very poor，and at the age of 18，Marie became a governess.She helped pay for her sister to study in Paris.Later，her sister helped Marie with her education.In 1891，Marie attended the Sorbonne University in Paris where she met and married Pierre Curie，a wellknown physicist. Marie Curie contributed greatly to our understanding of radioactivity and the effects of xrays.She received two Nobel Prizes for her brilliant work，but died of leukaemia，caused by her repeated exposure to radioactive materials.36What is the main idea of the passage? ATo give us a general introduction to Madame Curie.BTo show us how Madame Curie discovered radium. CTo tell us how Madame Curie developed as a scientist. DTo tell us how Madame Curie received two Nobel Prizes.37Madame Curie was given the Nobel Prize in Chemistry because _.Ashe discovered radiumBshe separated pure radium and calculated its atomic weightCshe discovered poloniumDshe didnt patent methods of processing radium38Which of the following statements about Madame Curie is NOT true?AMadame Curie made great contributions to medical science.BMadame Curie was very smart and ambitious when she was a child.CMadame Curie received two Nobel Prizes in Physics.DMadame Curies husband helped her a lot in her research.39We can infer from the third paragraph that _.Madame Curie got married when she was at college.Madame Curie had a great ambition when she was young.Madame Curie loved teaching more than anything else.Madame Curie must have met a lot of difficulties to get high education.Her father had a great influence on Madame Curies future career.Madame Curie was very smart when she was a child.A BC D40Which is the right order about Madame Curie according to the passage?amarried Pierrebattended universitycdiscovered radiumddetermined radiums atomic weightewon the Nobel Prize in PhysicsAb，c，a，d，e Bb，a，c，d，eCb，a，c，e，d Db，c，a，e，dD Living in the wild can be hard.Finding food and staying safe arent easy.Each day，animals struggle to survive in their habitats.Not all animals get by on their own.Some animals form a close partnership with other kinds of animals.These pairings are called symbiotic (共生的) relationships. In a symbiotic relationship，the animals depend on each other.One animal helps the other meet its needs.Sounds good，right? Not always.Some animals are not very kind to their partners.In some cases，one animal meets its needs but hurts its partner.Take ticks，for example.These insects suck blood to live.To get blood，they attach themselves to other kinds of animals.Ticks can pass germs that cause disease instead of helping their hosts. In other relationships，animals dont treat their partners so poorly.Both animals benefit from living with the other animals. Small animals called cleaner shrimps have found a way of helping fish at coral reefs.As their name suggests，the shrimps clean the fish.They hang out at what scientists call a cleaning station.A fish stops by.Then a shrimp climbs onto the fish and even steps into the fishs mouth.The shrimp uses its tiny claws to pick stuff off the fishs body.That can include dead skin，tiny pieces of food，and wee creatures that can hurt the fish.The fish gets a nice cleaning.The shrimp enjoys a tasty meal of fish trash. Small birds called plovers are also in the cleaning business.They have big customerscrocodiles.Crocs have long snouts (鼻子) filled with sharp teeth.Cleaning them is tricky.When a croc opens its mouth，the plover hops right in.The croc does not snap its snout shut.Instead，it lets the plover eat small，harmful animals attached to the crocodiles teeth.The plover gets an easy meal while the croc gets clean teeth.41The text is mainly about _.Athe hard life in the wildBsome dangerous animalsCanimals living togetherDanimals in a symbiotic relationship42According to the text，in a symbiotic relationship，_.Aanimals depend on each otherBbirds depend on animals for foodCboth sides can get helpDnot all animals treat their partners well43Why do the cleaner shrimps clean the fish?ATo get fish trash for food.BTo eat wee creatures.CTo help fish go out of coral reefs.DTo get food for fish.44When plovers hop into crocodiles mouths，they _.Aare really to clean crocodiles teethBare to make crocodiles happyCarent afraid of being eatenDarent happy to clean the crocodiles teeth45According to the text，it can be inferred that _.Aliving in the wild can be hardBdifferent animals have different living waysCcrocodiles mainly live on ploversDticks are useful to some animals第二节信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。 首先，请阅读下列有关运动学校、中心或俱乐部的介绍：ARiding School：You can start horseriding at any age.Choose private or group lessons any weekday between 9 am.and 830 pm.(330 pm.on Saturdays)There are 10 kilometres of tracks and paths for leisurely rides across farmland and open country.You will need a riding hat.BSailing Club：Our young sailors course leads to the Stage 1 sailing qualification.Youll learn how to sail safely and the course also covers sailing theory and first aid.Have fun with other course members afterwards in the clubroom.There are 10 weekly twohour lessons(Tuesdays 6 pm.8 pm.)CDiving Centre：Our experienced instructors offer onemonth courses in deepsea diving for beginners.There are two evening lessons a week，in which you learn to breathe underwater and use the equipment safely.You only need a swimming costume and towel.Reduced rates for couples.DTennis Club：Learn to play tennis in the heart of the city and have fun at our tennis weekends.Arrive on Friday evening，learn the basic rules on Saturday and play in a competition on Sunday.Theres also a disco and swimming pool.White tennis clothes and a racket are required.EWatersports Club：We use a twokilometre length of river for speedboat racing，an
