10、om the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient, weve got 72 hours at most, So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and
11、was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: “Well, Im really sorry, Ive got some bad news for you-there are no flights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some
12、 stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient-please, please, youve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything.

15、.本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在一次运送造血干细胞途中的一段经历，表现了人们之间的友爱。21.推理判断题。根据文章第一段第三句 “from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor to the time they can be implanted in the patient” 可以推测，“我”负责的时间段是当干细胞从捐献者身体里取出之后到送到患者那里，可知“我”的身份像一个投递员（delivery man）。A项，意为“供应商”，C项，意为“收集者”，D项，意为“药物医生”，均不符合文意。故正确答案为B。22.细节理解题。根据
16、文章第一段第二句 “I have 42 hours to carry stem cells in my little box because Ive got two ice packs and thats how long they last” 可知，“我”有42小时来用“我”的小箱子携带干细胞因为“我”有两个冰袋，并且能持续制冷42小时。超过了42小时，冰袋就不会再持续维持低温了。故正确答案为D。23.细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后一句 “re-routed me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than origi
17、nally scheduled” 可知，在“我”说了“我”的处境以后，值机柜台的服务人员为“我”安排了一架小飞机并为“我”改道经过 Newark 并返回英国。所以 Peter 首先到达 Newark。故正确答案为B。BWorld Book Day falls on April 23rd every year，but do you know that it is also Shakespeare Day?

18、ys have three kinds：tragedies，comedies and histories. His most famous play is the tragic story of Romeo and Juliet，which deals with two young lovers who are not allowed to marry by their parents. Other tragedies include Hamlet，Othello，and Macbeth.Shakespeares comedies include Much Ado About Nothing,
19、 A Midsummer Nights Dream and Twelfth Night. Twelfth Night is a play about unclear identities. Two twins are shipwrecked (遭海难)and the sister，Viola，dresses up as her brother，Sebastian，who she thinks is dead. Its funny，because the brother reappears and theres a big love problem going on：Viola is in lo
20、ve with the Duke，who is in love with Olivia，who falls in love with Sebastian except that she doesnt realize that Sebastian is actually Viola dressed up！Everybody falls in love with the wrong person，but it is all made right in the end.Some of his history plays，such as Antony and Cleopatra，Richard III
21、 and Henry V, are based on the lives of real historical people. In Antony and Cleopatra, Cleopatra becomes Antonys girlfriend and Antony becomes so crazy about her that he loses control of the army. Cleopatra kills herself in the end and Antony kills himself too.Shakespeares plays can he very diffic

23、according to the text?A. Othello.B. Sebastian.C. Antony.D. Hamlet.25. What can we know about Shakespeares history plays?A. Some of them are developed from real historical people.B.

25、本文是一篇说明文，介绍了莎士比亚的悲剧、喜剧和历史剧的代表作品。24.细节理解题。根据第三段首句及“Twelfth Night is a play about unclear identities. Two twins are shipwrecked (遭海难)and the sister，Viola，dresses up as her brother，Sebastian”可知，塞巴斯蒂安是莎士比亚的喜剧第十二夜中的人物，故B项正确。25.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Some of his history plays，such as Antony and Cleopatra，Richard
26、 III and Henry V, are based on the lives of real historical people.”可知，莎士比亚一些历史剧中的人物是由真实的历史人物发展而来的，故A项正确。26.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“They are often used in tragedies to lighten the mood of the play and to keep the audience interested in the main plot.”可知，它们常被用于悲剧中，以减轻戏剧的情绪，并保持观众对主要情节的兴趣，由此可知，莎士比亚戏剧中副情节的目的是让观众
27、放松，让他们跟着主题走，故D项正确。CSports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature.

36、 and you dont have to worry about resources and your purse.可知，有许多环保运动。步行是你今天可以做的事情之一。除了一双好鞋子，你不需要任何特殊的设备；你不必担心它需要资源和多花钱。所以A选项“骑自行车环湖”不需要专门的设备和场地，也不污染环境。故判断出作者支持骑自行车环湖。故选A项。28.细节理解题。由第二段Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of c
37、hemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses （球场） in good condition. This causes major environmental effects.可知，高尔夫不仅消耗大面积的农村土地，还会消耗大量的水。此外，各种各样的化学物质和大量的能量被用来维持球场的状况良好。这造成了重大的环境影响。所以高尔夫球场需要水和电来保持球场的绿色。故选D项。29.细节理解题。由第三段There are many environment-friendly sports.
