12、ive blood produces antibodies that destroy her babies cells. This can happen when the baby has the same rhesus-positive blood as the father. Rhesus disease can cause health issues in babies. It can even result in death.Harrisons blood helped physicians develop an injection called Anti-D in the 1960s
13、,which prevents women who have rhesus-negative blood from developing the harmful antibodies while pregnant. After Harrison completes one of his routine donations,his blood can be used to create more vaccines (疫苗)“I started donating in 1955,two days after I turned 18,” Harrison said when he completed
14、 his 1,075th donation.As CNN reported,every Anti-D vaccine created in Australia has something to do with a donation from Harrison,who holds the record for most blood donations in Australia.“A number of mothers have come up to me and said,Thank you very much for what youve done,because I now have one
15、,two,three healthy children,” Harrison said.Harrisons own daughter,Tracey Mellowship,had been one of the 17 percent of women who need Anti-D during their pregnancy.

118、m?According to a new New York University study,knowing whether or not to trust someone is so important that we can tell whether a face is trustworthy before we even consciously know its there. The researchers knew from previous studies that people are fairly similar when it comes to how they judge a
119、 faces trustworthiness. They wanted to find out whether that would be true if people only saw a face for a quick momentan amount of time so short that it would prevent making a conscious judgment.To carry out their study,the researchers monitored the amygdala (扁桃腺结构) of 37 volunteers while showing t
120、hem 300 faces for 33 milliseconds each.Those faces had already been tested with a different set of 10 subjects,who saw them for much longer.In those earlier tests,people agreed about whether to trust each face.In this new study,fascinatingly,different parts of the amygdala lit up when a subject saw
121、an untrustworthy face and a trustworthy oneand it lit up more when the face in question was suspicious (可疑的)“ Faces that appear likely to cause harm are suddenly tracked by the amygdala,so it could then quickly change other brain processes and make fast responses to peopleapproach or avoid,” says Jo

135、内容可知,如果能克隆出生产更多奶和肉的牛,那么“这个新品种应该是更好”。37G根据本空后的Many animals are born with abnormal shapes.make it less expensive可知,目前克隆的“过程不能总是完美,而且价格相对比较昂贵”。38D根据本空后的内容不难看出,这里是介绍克隆牲畜的“好处”。39C根据本空后内容可知,克隆技术会减少“基因多样性”,所以当拥有同样基因的动物遭受某种致命疾病时,所有的这些动物都会死亡。40F本空前的concerns提示了本题答案。第三部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满
