17、g the ITF Junior division. Siwosz wanted to do more with her life than just play tennis, which led her to seek chances that would also allow her to obtain a top education. “Theres no collegiate sports in Poland and no culture of sports and academic study there. ” Siwosz said. Her desire to have a qu
18、ality education led her to America. While Siwosz was talented enough to begin her collegiate tennis career, she could only attend community college because she missed the deadline to apply for four-year schools, mainly due to misinformation provided in her home country of Poland. When she had earned
19、 all her credits, Siwosz made the decision to attend Baylor in Texas. Her friends from Poland put in a good word for the university, saying that it was a good fit because there were many international players at Baylor. “I thought it would be a good idea, but it really wasnt what I thought it would
20、be,” Siwosz said. “The level of tennis was high, but the academic standards were no match and I just wanted more.”After one year at Baylor, Siwosz made the decision to transfer to Berkeley, which was due in large part to her friend Lee, a former Berkeley student and keen tennis player. “I knew she w

25、 to the next generation? Professor Simard form University of British Columbia explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. As far as Simard is concerne
26、d, actually the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌)networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive j
27、ust the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She e
28、xplains how moribund trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the ch
29、ances of survival for the entire forest.“We didnt take any notice of it” Simard says sadly. “Trees move nutrition into the young trees before they die, but we never give them chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environment
30、al protection efforts for the future.28. Which statement would Simard agree with?A. Trees support each other.B. Trees compete for nutrition.C. Trees depend on their needs.D. Trees co-operate with the fittest. 29. Why are the networks of neurons in brains mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. To explain the im
31、portance of fungi networks.B. To introduce the function of neurons networks.C. To illustrate how Nitrogen and carbon are shared.D. To show how the forest ecological system works.30. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Energetic.B. Ancient.C. PreviousD. Dying31. What does Simard call
32、 on people to do?A. Protect tree societies.B. Cut down oldest trees.C. Get nutrition from nature.D. Improve our environment.DJapanese researchers are genetically changing mosquitoes so that they become carriers of a vaccine (疫苗) that could vaccinate millions for free. The researchers have already ge
33、netically changed a mosquito species so that its saliva (唾液) contains a protein that acts as a vaccine against leishmaniasis(利什曼病), a deadly disease that leads to terrible skin problems. The team confirmed that mice bitten by the genetically engineered mosquito developed an antibody to the disease,
34、meaning they had built up immunity (免疫力).“You would be vaccinated without even noticing. You wouldnt need any drug and you wouldnt need to show up at a fixed place for mass vaccinations,” said Shigeto Yoshida, the associate professor who has led the research. “Repeated bites would only strengthen th
35、e immunity.”“Similarly the mosquitoes could be used to help treat malaria (疟疾), perhaps a decade from now,” said the malaria expert.Nearly one million people die each year from malariamost of them are childrenmainly in Africa and Asia, according to the World Health Organization. Now a problem is tha
36、t no effective vaccine exists. “There is a treatment that works, but it is beyond the reach of people who need to worry about food for tomorrow.” Yoshida said.However, Yoshida expects that the genetically-engineered mosquito will finally help wipe out the deadly disease in the developing world. “Tec
37、hnically speaking, I believe its a matter of 10 years or so, but its not clear whether society would accept it,” he said.Another problem is that the genetically-engineered mosquito may still pick up and spread the infected blood of a person who has already caught malaria. Yoshidas team is hoping it
38、can solve this problem by developing a mosquito species that kills the malaria virus inside its own body.32. How are researchers changing mosquitoes into vaccine carriers?A. By editing their genes.B. By reducing their saliva.C. By replacing their protein.D. By improving their immunity.33. What would
39、 happen to a person often bitten by such mosquitoes?A. He would feel nothing special at all.B. He would become stronger mentally.C. He would built up stronger immunity.D. He would die of the immunity failure.34. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?A. Malaria is a deadly disease that canno
40、t be cured.B. The present treatment for malaria is quite costly.C. Most children in Africa and Asia die from malaria.D. There is no effective treatment for malaria at present. 35. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A. Immunity to be built in mosquitoes.B. Genes to be changed by
41、 mosquitoes.C. Diseases to be cured with mosquitoes.D. Mosquitoes to be used against diseases.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。To lose weight, you dont need to hold down your appetite.

Pappy was working alone fixing an old lantern in the backroom when he heard
64、 the ringing of his bell on the shop door. Thebell, which produced a uniquely pleasant sound, had been in Pappys family for over a hundred years. He valued it dearly and enjoyed sharing its song with all who came to his shop. Although the bell hung on the inside of the main door,Pappyhad tied a wire
65、 to the screen door so that it would ring whether the inner door was open or not. Hearing the bell, he left the backroom to greet his customer.“And how can I help you, little lady?” Pappys voice was joyful.“Hello, sir.”The little girlspoke almost in a whisper. She looked at Pappy with her big brown
66、eyes, and then slowly scanned the room in search of somethingspecial. Shyly she told him, “Id like to buy a present, sir.”“Well, lets see,” Pappy said, “who is thispresentfor?”“Mygrandpa. Its for my grandpa. But I dont know what to get.”Pappy began to make suggestions. “How about a pocket watch? Its
67、 in good condition.” The little girl didnt answer. She had walked to the doorway and put her small hand on the door. She shook the door gently to ring the bell. Pappys face seemed to glow as he saw her smiling with excitement.“This is just right.” the little girl said. “Mommasays grandpa loves music
68、.”Just then, Pappys expression changed. Fearful of breaking the little girls heart, he told her, “Im sorry, Missy. Thats not for sale. Maybe your grandpa would like this little radio.”The girl looked at the radio, bowed her head, and sadlysighed, “No, I dont think so.”In an effort to help her unders
69、tand, Pappy told her that the bell had been his only companion, for the rest of his family were all gone, except for his estranged (疏远的)daughterwhom he had not seen for nearly a decade.注意：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。Paragraph 1:With a giant tear in her eye, the little girl looked up at him.

72、y店的门铃响了,本段主要介绍了门铃的特别，以及他对作者的意义，而接下来的几段是小女孩与Pappy的对话，内容反映出小女孩看中的是Pappy的门铃。续写的第一段的第一句话已经给出，从这句话可以看出当小女孩得知铃不卖后很失望，再看下一段第一句，Pappy又听到了熟悉的声音，显然Pappy最后还是卖给女孩了。因此第一段主要写Pappy忍痛割爱，把门铃卖给女孩的过程，而第二段应该是卖了门铃之后,小女孩为Pappy做的事情。With a giant tear in her eye, the little girl looked up at him. She managed a forced smile,
73、 murmuring“Thank you, anyway” and walked towards the door. Suddenly Pappy thought of his estranged daughter. Feeling a lump in his throat, Pappy called out,“How much have you got to spend, Missy?” Hearing this, the little girl emptied her purse onto the counter - two dollars. After a quick struggle
74、in his mind, Pappy said,“Today is Christmas Day and this is your lucky day. The bell costs exactly two dollars.” Holding the special bell close to her chest, the child danced out.Later that evening when Pappy was closing up the shop, he heard a familiar ringing. He couldnt believe his ears! There in
75、 the doorway stood the little girl, ringing the bell and smiling sweetly. Puzzled, Pappy approached her. “Have you changed your mind, little lady?” “No.”the child grinned, “Momma says the present is for you.”Before Pappy had time to say another word, the childs mother stepped in.
