A duck has been saved by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals(RSPCA) after getting stuck with a plastic ring around its neck. It is believed that the plastic ring is the same sort used to package cans of beer together.
Animal Collection Officer(ACO) Lauren Bradshaw was one of the three people to find and rescue the duck on the canal near Sellars Square in Manchester on August 23. They entered the water to reach the bird. “Our plan was to round up the duck and get him to a bridge as the width of the canal is smaller there,” Lauren said, “The duck managed to escape from us a couple of times but eventually we managed to net and catch him. Then I freed him and gave him an examination.”
She added that the plastic was fortunately not tight around the animal’s neck and did not cause any injuries or difficulty breathing. However, plastic stuck around the neck and throat area is a hazard to many sea animals, as the animals think it is food and, once trapped, are unable to remove it. She suggested that people cut open any plastic rings so that if they are deserted, they will not be able to trap animals like this.
Lauren also reminded people that ducks may starve to death due to litter being thrown away rather than being put in a dustbin. When hungry ducks swallow floating pieces of plastic, they can cut through their organs or trick them into feeling full, causing them to stop eating.
The RSPCA says it has received more than 21,600 reports of animals injured or caught in litter over the past five years.
4. Why did the RSPCA staff drive the duck to a bridge
A. To catch it easily. B. To free it conveniently.
C. To ask passers-by for help. D. To make it go to the bank soon.
5. What can we infer about Lauren after she examined the duck
A. She was annoyed at the bird. B. She felt lucky not to hurt it.
C. She was guilty about her delay. D. She breathed a sigh of relief.
6. What does the underlined word “hazard” in Paragraph 3 refer too
A Danger. B. Criterion. C. Shock. D. Failure.
7. What did Lauren suggest people do about ducks’ safety
A Cut plastic rings into pieces. B. Deal with plastic litter properly.
C. Reduce plastic-based food wrappers. D. Improve the recycling rate for plastics.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。一只鸭子的脖子上被一个塑料环卡住了,英国皇家防止虐待动物协会拯救了它。文章介绍了英国皇家防止虐待动物协会的工作人员Lauren是如何解救这只鸭子的,以及Lauren提出该如何处理塑料垃圾以保护动物免受伤害。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中““Our plan was to round up the duck and get him to a bridge as the width of the canal is smaller there,” Lauren said, “The duck managed to escape from us a couple of times but eventually we managed to net and catch him. Then I freed him and gave him an examination.”(Lauren:“我们的计划是围捕这只鸭子,把它撵到一座桥上,因为那里的运河比较窄,这只鸭子几次设法从我们手中逃脱,但最终我们设法捉住了它。然后我放了他,给他做了检查。”)”可知,皇家防止虐待动物协会的工作人员要把鸭子送到一座桥上是为了容易抓住它。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“She added that the plastic was fortunately not tight around the animal’s neck and did not cause any injuries or difficulty breathing.(她补充说,幸运的是,塑料没有紧紧地缠在动物的脖子上,也没有造成任何伤害或呼吸困难)”可推知,Lauren检查了鸭子之后,她如释重负地松了口气。故选D。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“plastic stuck around the neck and throat area is a”以及后文“as the animals think it is food and, once trapped, are unable to remove it”可知,卡在脖子和喉咙区域的塑料对许多海洋动物来说是一种危险,因为动物认为这些塑料是食物,一旦被困,就无法将其清除。故画线词意思是“危险”。A. Danger.危险;B. Criterion.标准;C. Shock.震惊;D. Failure.失败。故选A。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“She suggested that people cut open any plastic rings so that if they are deserted, they will not be able to trap animals like this.( 她建议人们切开任何塑料环,这样如果它们被遗弃,他们就不能像这样困住动物了)”可知,Lauren建议人们正确处理塑料垃圾保护鸭子的安全。故选B。
C
If you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like “Shakespeare,” “Samuel Johnson,” and “Webster,” but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn’t even speak English-William the Conqueror.
Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two major language groups. In the west central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.
But this state of affairs did not last. In l066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of Eng-land while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of Politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction (区别) between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.
When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more "foreign" than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man's ambition.
8. The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before l066 were
A Welsh and Scottish B. Nordic and Germanic
C. Celtic and Old English. D. Anglo-Saxon and Germanic
9. Which of the following groups of words are, by inference, rooted in French
A. president, Lawyer, beef B. president, bread, water
C. bread, field, sheep D. folk, field, cow
10. Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to Europe
A. Most advertisements in France appear in English.
B. They know little of the history of the English language.
C. Many French words are similar to English ones.
D. They know French better than German.
11. What is the subject discussed in the text
A. The history of Great Britain.
B. The similarity between English and French.
C. The rule of England by William the Conqueror.
D. The French influences on the English language.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。如果让你列举那些对应于做出最大贡献的人,你一定会得到类似莎士比亚,塞缪尔约翰逊这样的答案,但实际上,没有任何人的对英语的影响力能够超过征服者威廉。在1066年以前,我们现在称为英国的土地上存在两种主要语言,一种是凯尔特语,另一种是古英语。而后来由于威廉的雄心,使得古英语成为英国的主要语言,而法语也成为对英语影响颇深的语言。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“In the west-central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic.”在中西地区住着威尔士人,他们说凯尔特语,在南部居住着苏格兰人,他们的语言不同于威尔士人的语言,但也是凯尔特语。由此可知一大主要语言为凯尔特语。根据第二段第三句“In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic language. ”在国家的其余地方居住着撒克逊人,他们是英国人、撒克逊人、德国人、日耳曼人的混合,他们讲的语言是英格兰语(即古英语)。可知另一大分支为古英语。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German.”结果导致,英语中关于政治和法律的词来源于法语而不是德语。“We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.”我们甚至在食物尤其是肉食上有不同的词,这取决于它是长在田野里,还是在家煮着吃,事实证明,撒克逊农民在耕作而上层社会的诺曼人在大部分食物上贡献更多。由此可见,有关政治、法律以及家中煮着的食物最可能来源于法国,故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more "foreign" than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does”当美国人到欧洲旅游时,他们经常发现德语比法语更像外国语,以为在德国,他们看见的标签和广告语看起来比法语更与英语不同。所以可知,许多法语词汇和英语很像。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开篇即抛出问题:谁对英语的影响最大,接着给出答案:征服者威廉。可见文章即将讨论的问题就是他对英语的影响。接下来,作者介绍了1066年以前的英国语言由两大派系组成,而之后由于威廉的雄心,才使得古英语成为英国的主要语言,而法语也成为对英语影响颇深的语言。故选D。
D
Israeli researchers say they have created the world's first three-dimensional, or 3D-printed heart using a patient's own cells. They described the experiment as "a major medical breakthrough." Tal Dvir, the lead researcher on the project, said in a statement that it was the first time that human cells had been used with 3D printing technology to successfully create a whole heart. Dvir added that the "printed" heart contains blood vessels which are needed to pump blood. The development marks a step forward for 3D printing in the medical field.
The researchers took samples of fatty tissue from patients. This material was then used to develop “ink” for the 3D printing process. First, the researchers created patches of tissue from the patient’s own cells. Later, they used that same process to create a small version of a whole heart. Using the patient’s own cells is important to reduce the risk that the body’s system to fight infection will reject a transplanted organ.
The goal, the researchers said, is to treat heart disease. The World Health Organization reports that heart disease is by far the leading cause of death worldwide. For patients with severe heart disease, a heart transplant is currently the main treatment available. The researchers hope their invention can help ease the demand for heart transplant donors.
Dvir says that the newly-created heart represents great progress. However, more research and development is needed to produce a fully operating, transplantable organ. One of the biggest challenges for the engineering team will be finding a way to create a human-sized heart.
Dvir said his team planned to transplant heart models designed for animals, possibly within the next year. He added that, for human use, “simpler organs” will likely be produced before hearts. “Maybe, in ten years, there will be organ printers in the finest hospitals around the world,” Dvir said. He hopes such methods will be used “routinely” to produce organs in the future.
12. Why should patients’ own cells be used to create a 3D heart
A. To avoid being rejected. B. To make it suitable to print.
C. To fight infection. D. To build up immune system.
13. What is the research intended for
A. To adopt printing technology. B. To create human organs.
C To treat heart disease. D. To develop organ printers.
14. What does Dvir expect of organ printers in the future
A. They will be developed to create organs routinely.
B. They will be widely used to treat different diseases.
C. They will be used to transplant organs for animals.
D. They will be applied to various fields in the world.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. An artificial heart. B. A major medical breakthrough
C. A scientific project D. A great research team.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍以色列研究人员称已经用病人自己的细胞创造出了世界上第一个3D打印心脏。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Using the patient’s own cells is important to reduce the risk that the body’s system to fight infection will reject a transplanted organ. (使用病人自己的细胞对于降低机体对抗感染的系统排斥移植器官的风险很重要)”,可知,之所以要用病人自己的细胞来制造3D心脏,是因为为了避免被拒绝。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The goal, the researchers said, is to treat heart disease.(研究人员说,其目标是治疗心脏病)”,可知,研究的目的是为了治疗心脏病。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“He hopes such methods will be used ‘routinely’to produce organs in the future.(他希望这种方法将来能常规用于生产器官)”,可知,Dvir希望器官打印机将被开发成常规地创造器官。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Israeli researchers say they have created the world's first three-dimensional, or 3D-printed heart using a patient's own cells. They described the experiment as ‘a major medical breakthrough.’(以色列研究人员表示,他们已经用病人自己的细胞制造出了世界上第一个三维心脏,或3D打印心脏。他们称这次实验是“医学上的重大突破”)”可知,这篇文章讲述的是“医学上的重大突破”。故选B。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分l0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。
If you’ve been extra forgetful lately, you are not alone. Stress, anxiety and depression can cause forgetfulness, confusion and difficulty concentrating. But before you resign yourself to a fate of permanent lost keys and forgotten names, here are some strategies for you.
Figure out your own learning style
We all have our own ways of learning and remembering.___16___; others may have to write it down. Whatever your learning style is, embrace it and figure out a system that will work with it, whether it is written or audio notes or some other strategies.
___17___
The more times you do something, the more likely you are to remember it. Repetition is what will help you shift details from short-term memory into long-term memory.
It can feel a little silly writing down everything, or saying something to yourself 10 times in order to get through your day, but if that’s what it takes, then go ahead and do it.___18___, and repetition is one of the strategies that can help you.
Avoid unnecessary distractions
With each day bringing a fresh attack of bad news, we have more distractions than ever before.___19___ .
One key strategy is to put boundaries on your smartphone use. Some studies show Internet use is making our attention span shorter and our memory worse. Although it’s almost impossible to live without the Internet, putting some limits on usage can help.
___20___, which has also been shown to have an effect on memory retention (维持). The fewer distractions you have, the better off you’ll be. Reducing them as much as you can will help in the long run.
A. Repetition does help a lot
B. We’re all just trying to get through our day
C. Be impatient while doing the repeating work
D. Another strategy is to limit multitasking
E. Some of us have to say something out loud to remember it
F. However, there are still ways you can reduce the number of distractions
G. Some people may have difficulty figuring out an effective system
【答案】16. E 17. A 18. B 19. F 20. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。如果你最近特别健忘,你并不孤单。压力、焦虑和抑郁会导致健忘、混乱并且注意力难以集中。文章介绍了一些避免健忘的策略。
【16题详解】
根据下文提示“others may have to write it down.(其他人可能不得不把它写下来。)”承接下文,E项“Some of us have to say something out loud to remember it(有些人必须大声说出来才能记住。)”切题。固定句式:some…,others… “一些……,另一些……。” 故选E。
【17题详解】
该空是小标题。根据下文“The more times you do something, the more likely you are to remember it. Repetition is what will help you shift details from short-term memory into long-term memory. (你做某件事的次数越多,你就越有可能记住它。重复可以帮助你将细节从短期记忆转变为长期记忆。)”由此可知,本段讲述了重复的作用,因此推断A项Repetition does help a lot(重复确实很有帮助)切题。关键词:repetition。故选A。
【18题详解】
根据上文“It can feel a little silly writing down everything, or saying something to yourself 10 times in order to get through your day, but if that’s what it takes, then go ahead and do it.(把每件事都写下来,或者对自己说十遍来度过这一天,可能感觉有点傻,但如果这是需要的,那么就去做吧。)”再根据空格下文“and repetition is one of the strategies that can help you.(重复是对你有帮助的策略之一。)”可知,B项We’re all just trying to get through our day(我们都在努力度过每一天)切题。该项中的“trying to get through our day”与上文中的“then go ahead and do it”保持一致,并与下文的“one of the strategies that can help you”相吻合。关键词:get through“度过,熬过”。故选B。
【19题详解】
该段标题是“Avoid unnecessary distractions(避免不必要的干扰。)” 。再根据上文提示“With each day bringing a fresh attack of bad news, we have more distractions than ever before. (每一天都有新的坏消息接踵而至,让我们分心的事情比以往任何时候都多。)”承接上文,F项“However, there are still ways you can reduce the number of distractions”(然而,仍然有一些方法可以减少干扰)切题。该项中的However使上下句构成转折关系,其中“reduce the number of distractions”与上文的“more distractions than ever before”形成对比。关键词:distractions。故选F。
【20题详解】
根据上一段第一句“One key strategy is to put boundaries on your smartphone use.(一个关键策略是为智能手机的使用设定界限。)” 由此可知,D项Another strategy is to limit multitasking(另一个策略是限制多任务处理)切题。该项中的Another与上段的One相对应。故选D。

46. which 47. an
48. to improve
49. importance
50. surviving
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文,介绍了农业的重要性和保护农民利益的必要性。
【41题详解】
考查谓语动词时态。句意:对大量食物的需求导致了农业的产生。分析句子成分可知lead在句中是谓语动词,句中“the invention of farming”是过去已经发生的事情,所以谓语动词应该使用一般过去时态,lead的过去式是不规则变化led。故填led。
【42题详解】
考查谓语动词语态。句意:今天,美国近11%的就业与农业有关,这一事实可以帮助理解农业的重要作用。分析句子成分可知understand在句中是主句谓语动词,与主语“the important role of agriculture”之间有被动关系,所以谓语动词应该使用被动语态,又因前有情态动词can,所以应填be understood。故填be understood。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:今天,美国近11%的就业与农业有关,这一事实可以理解农业的重要作用。be related to…(与……有关系)为固定短语在句中作谓语。故填to。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:农产品在世界贸易中占很大一部分。分析句子成分并结合空格前形容词Agricultural可知应填入名词做句子主语,又因空格后谓语动词account for使用的是复数形式,根据主谓一致的原则可反推主语也应该是复数形式。故填products。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:今天,农业是经济发展的动力引擎,特别是在发展中国家。根据句意可知这是应该使用副词especially来加强语气,进行强调,表示“特别是在发展中国家”。故填especially。
【46题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:粮食安全是联合国的主要目标之一,重点是为所有人提供充足的粮食。分析句子结构可知,空格后为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Food security。故填which。
【47题详解】
考查冠词。句意:农业在实现这一目标中发挥着重要作用。play an important role in…(在……中扮演重要角色)为固定短语。故填an。
【48题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:改善农民的生活是我们的责任。该句为固定句型it+is/was+one’s responsibility to do…(做……是……的职责),句中it是形式主语,真正主语是后面动词不定式。故填to improve。
【49题详解】
考查名词。句意:我们应该认识到农业的重要性,尊重我们的农民。根据空格前定冠词the和空格后作后置定语的介词短语of agriculture可知应填入名词。故填importance。
【50题详解】
考查谓语动词时态。句意:正是因为它们,我们才得以生存在这个世界上。分析句子结构可知,空格处单词与前面are构成了从句中谓语部分,又因“我们生存在这个世界”是说正在发生的事情,故此处应该是现在进行时态。故填surviving。

This year, our school call on us students to make good use of our time and do socially practice in the holiday. I found a job in the small restaurant. I thought it would be easy, so actually it turned out to be hard. I spent on the whole morning washing dishes and setting tables. I didn't have lunch until 2:00 pm. After lunch, I immediately set out to work again, do the same things until 11:00 pm. I worked more than ten hour every day! However, after days of work, you have come to understand the value of hard work. I've also realized what difficult it is for my parents to support our family. Therefore, I am now determined study hard to repay my parents.
【答案】1. call→called 2. socially→social 3. the→a 4. so→but 5. 删除spent后on
6.do→doing 7. hour→hours 8.you→I 9. what→how 10. determined后加to
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者响应学校号召,利用假期时间进行社交练习,并认识到了工作的艰辛和父母的不易。
【详解】1.考查动词时态。句意:今年,我们学校呼吁我们学生充分利用时间,并在假期里进行社交练习。根据this year以及下文时态,可知是一般过去时。故call改为called。
2. 考查形容词。句意:今年,我们学校呼吁我们学生充分利用时间,并在假期里进行社交练习。形容词social修饰名词practice。故socially改为social。
3. 考查冠词。句意:我在那家小餐馆找到了工作。因为餐馆是第一次在文中出现,所以不用特指。用不定冠词表泛指,且small首字母的发音为辅音音素。故the改为a。
4. 考查连词。句意:我认为这很容易,但实际上却很难。结合句意上下文是转折关系,所以用转折连词but。故so改为but。
5.考查固定用法。句意:我整个上午都在洗碗和摆桌子。直到下午2:00我才吃午饭。固定结构spend time(in)doing sth.花费时间做某事。故on删除。
6. 考查非谓语动词。句意:午餐后,我立即着手再次工作,直到11:00 pm做同样的事情。分析句子结构可知,句子中有谓语动词,doing现在分词作句子伴随状语。故do改为doing。
7. 考查名词复数形式。句意:我每天工作十多个小时!根据ten可知要用名词复数。故hour改为hours。
8. 考查代词。句意:但是,经过几天的工作,我已经了解了努力工作的价值。根据文章可知,整篇文章用第一人称I,故you改为I。
9. 考查宾语从句。句意:我也意识到了父母养家的困难。从句有形容词difficult,因此difficult前用how引导。故what改为how。
10. 考查固定用法。句意:因此,我现在下定决心努力学习以回报我的父母。根据句子,固定搭配,be determined to do sth决定做某事。故determined后加to。

A duck has been saved by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals(RSPCA) after getting stuck with a plastic ring around its neck. It is believed that the plastic ring is the same sort used to package cans of beer together.
Animal Collection Officer(ACO) Lauren Bradshaw was one of the three people to find and rescue the duck on the canal near Sellars Square in Manchester on August 23. They entered the water to reach the bird. “Our plan was to round up the duck and get him to a bridge as the width of the canal is smaller there,” Lauren said, “The duck managed to escape from us a couple of times but eventually we managed to net and catch him. Then I freed him and gave him an examination.”
She added that the plastic was fortunately not tight around the animal’s neck and did not cause any injuries or difficulty breathing. However, plastic stuck around the neck and throat area is a hazard to many sea animals, as the animals think it is food and, once trapped, are unable to remove it. She suggested that people cut open any plastic rings so that if they are deserted, they will not be able to trap animals like this.
Lauren also reminded people that ducks may starve to death due to litter being thrown away rather than being put in a dustbin. When hungry ducks swallow floating pieces of plastic, they can cut through their organs or trick them into feeling full, causing them to stop eating.
The RSPCA says it has received more than 21,600 reports of animals injured or caught in litter over the past five years.
4. Why did the RSPCA staff drive the duck to a bridge
A. To catch it easily. B. To free it conveniently.
C To ask passers-by for help. D. To make it go to the bank soon.
5. What can we infer about Lauren after she examined the duck
A. She was annoyed at the bird. B. She felt lucky not to hurt it.
C. She was guilty about her delay. D. She breathed a sigh of relief.
6. What does the underlined word “hazard” in Paragraph 3 refer too
A. Danger. B. Criterion. C. Shock. D. Failure.
7. What did Lauren suggest people do about ducks’ safety
A. Cut plastic rings into pieces. B. Deal with plastic litter properly.
C. Reduce plastic-based food wrappers. D. Improve the recycling rate for plastics.
C
If you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like “Shakespeare,” “Samuel Johnson,” and “Webster,” but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn’t even speak English-William the Conqueror.
Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two major language groups. In the west central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.
But this state of affairs did not last. In l066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of Eng-land while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of Politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction (区别) between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.
When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more "foreign" than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man's ambition.
8. The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before l066 were
A. Welsh and Scottish B. Nordic and Germanic
C. Celtic and Old English. D. Anglo-Saxon and Germanic
9. Which of the following groups of words are, by inference, rooted in French
A. president, Lawyer, beef B. president, bread, water
C. bread, field, sheep D. folk, field, cow
10. Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to Europe
A. Most advertisements in France appear in English.
B. They know little of the history of the English language.
C. Many French words are similar to English ones.
D. They know French better than German.
11. What is the subject discussed in the text
A. The history of Great Britain.
B. The similarity between English and French.
C. The rule of England by William the Conqueror.
D The French influences on the English language.
D
Israeli researchers say they have created the world's first three-dimensional, or 3D-printed heart using a patient's own cells. They described the experiment as "a major medical breakthrough." Tal Dvir, the lead researcher on the project, said in a statement that it was the first time that human cells had been used with 3D printing technology to successfully create a whole heart. Dvir added that the "printed" heart contains blood vessels which are needed to pump blood. The development marks a step forward for 3D printing in the medical field.
The researchers took samples of fatty tissue from patients. This material was then used to develop “ink” for the 3D printing process. First, the researchers created patches of tissue from the patient’s own cells. Later, they used that same process to create a small version of a whole heart. Using the patient’s own cells is important to reduce the risk that the body’s system to fight infection will reject a transplanted organ.
The goal, the researchers said, is to treat heart disease. The World Health Organization reports that heart disease is by far the leading cause of death worldwide. For patients with severe heart disease, a heart transplant is currently the main treatment available. The researchers hope their invention can help ease the demand for heart transplant donors.
Dvir says that the newly-created heart represents great progress. However, more research and development is needed to produce a fully operating, transplantable organ. One of the biggest challenges for the engineering team will be finding a way to create a human-sized heart.
Dvir said his team planned to transplant heart models designed for animals, possibly within the next year. He added that, for human use, “simpler organs” will likely be produced before hearts. “Maybe, in ten years, there will be organ printers in the finest hospitals around the world,” Dvir said. He hopes such methods will be used “routinely” to produce organs in the future.
12. Why should patients’ own cells be used to create a 3D heart
A. To avoid being rejected. B. To make it suitable to print.
C. To fight infection. D. To build up immune system.
13. What is the research intended for
A. To adopt printing technology. B. To create human organs.
C. To treat heart disease. D. To develop organ printers.
14. What does Dvir expect of organ printers in the future
A. They will be developed to create organs routinely.
B. They will be widely used to treat different diseases.
C. They will be used to transplant organs for animals.
D. They will be applied to various fields in the world.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. An artificial heart. B. A major medical breakthrough
C. A scientific project D. A great research team.
