21、British scientist are preparing to launch rials of a new way to fight cancer, which kills tumours（肿瘤）by infecting them with viruses.

Leonard Seymour, a professor of gene therapy at Oxford University, who has been working on the virus therapy with his colleagues will lend the trials later this year. Cancer Research UK said yesterday that it was excited by the potential of Prof Seymour’s pioneering techniques.

Prof Seymour has been working with viruses that kill cancer cells directly, while avoiding harmn to healthy tissue. Cancer-killing viruses exploit the fact that cancer cells suppress(抑制) the body’s local immune system. “If a cancer doesn’t do that, the immune system wipes it out. If you can get a virus into a tumour, viruses find them a very god place to be because there’s no immune system to stop them replicating(复制).You can regard it as the cancer’s Achilles’ heel.”

Researchers have known for some time that viruses can kill tumour cells. American scientists have previously injected viruses directly into tumours but this technique will not work if the cancer is inaccessible or has spread throughout the body.

Prof Seymour’s innovative solution is to disguise（伪装）the virus to avoid the body’s immune system, effectively allowing the viruses to do what chemotherapy drugs do—spread through the blood and reach tumours wherever they are. “What we’ve done is make chemical modifications to the virus to put a polymer（聚合物）coat around it,” he said. After the virus infect the tumour it replicates, but the copies do not have the chemical modifications. If they escape from the tumour, the copies will be quickly recognized and mopped up by the body’s immune system.

Two viruses are likely to be examined in he fist clinical trials: adenovirus, and vaccinia. For safety reasons, both will be disabled to make them less pathogenic（致病的）in the trial, but Prof Seymour said he eventually hopes to use natural viruses.

The first trials will use uncoated adenovirus and vaccinia and will be delivered locally to liver tumours. Several more years of trials will be needed, before the therapy can be considered for use in the NHS (National Health Service). Though the approach will be examined at first for cancers that do not respond to conventional treatments, Prof Seymour hopes that one day it might be applied to all cancers.

【1】The underlined part “Achilles’ heel” in Paragraph three can be replaced by ________.

A．ideal place

B．origin

C．weak point

D．advantage

【2】Which of the following statements about the virus therapy is TRUE?

A．The viruses can kill cancer cells but may cause harm to healthy tissue.

B．Cancer Research UK is concerned about Professor Seymour’s research

C．The technique of injecting viruses directly into tumors work for all cancers.

D．Professor Seymour is not the first to research on using viruses to kill cancer.

【3】What is the creative part of Professor Seymour’s research work?

A．Researchers mask the viruses on the way to tumors.

B．Chemotherapy drugs are to be spread through the blood.

C．The copies have the same chemical modifications as the virus.

D．Most copies of the virus will be killed by the immune system.

【4】What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

A．Two natural viruses are likely to be examined in the first clinical trials.

B．A lot of work needs to be done before the virus therapy being put to use.

C．The first trials will use coated viruses and will be delivered to liver tumors.

D．The approach will only be used on cancers resistant to conventional treatments.

22、Dear Retainers (保持器),

I thought you were supposed to be keeping my teeth straight with the benefit of no braces (牙箍)! Yet I wake up every morning to see that my overbite is slowly coming back and the rows of teeth aren’t aligned (使对齐). Now I don’t think you’re even helping me anymore. Do you have any idea what I went through to get you?

First of all, I wasted two precious years of my life waiting for your arrival. Those braces were murder on my teeth. You didn’t experience the pain I had to go through! Almost every week, I replaced my old wires. By getting braces, I had the “wonderful” opportunity to choose from a wide variety of soups. For two years, 104 weeks, soup became more than 90 percent of my diet.

I will admit that you kept my teeth in order for a few months. However, recently I think you’re snoozing (打盹) on the job. After brushing my teeth and slipping you on, I see that you don’t even fit correctly over my teeth anymore. During some nights, you don’t even stay on the whole time. I wake up some days and feel nothing in my mouth. Then I have to take more time to thoroughly search my bed to see where you’ve hidden yourself. Do you realize how frustrated I am?

Don’t even get me started on how you affect my language. If I were to say this sentence “Can you pass me the bottle of water?” it would come out sounding like “Ken you peth me-the ball of wudu?” Now I don’t even attempt saying words like “rewind” “reconnect” “replay” or anything else that starts with “re”. In general, you steal my ability to talk efficiently. The ridicule I get from my friends is almost unbearable.

You had better shape up or I’ll have to replace you with something better.

23、In this article, we want to present why nature conservation and the promotion of sustainable development principles are important.

Environmental protection prevents natural disasters. Nature struggles for balance. This is how forests absorb CO2, grow and change it into oxygen. This provides an opportunity for life and also slows down climate change. The destruction of forests greatly changes the climate of entire regions, or even causes powerful floods. 【1】

Environmental protection stimulates research and technological innovation. The idea for the first flying machine was inspired by bird observation. The rainforest is the richest source of many medicines. Almost every animal and plant has its own technical secrets. 【2】 With the disappearance of ecosystems and wildlife species, the base for scientific research and technical improvement is nowhere to find.

Protecting the environment is protecting people. The loss of natural resources leads to economic crises, wars or diseases. 【3】 For example, the reduction of the population of bees will affect not only the production of honey, but also the whole food production system. No bees — no honey, no fruit, very few vegetables. This leads to hunger, disease, migration and war.

【4】 We meet with like-minded people. Any local success — the rescue of an endangered population for reserves — becomes a cause for global joy and inspires more participation.

We humans are part of nature and its cycles ourselves. Our impact on ecosystems has noticeable influence on our daily lives. But it can be predicted and avoided if you think with your head and act carefully. 【5】 Even small deeds can improve the state of nature and our life on the planet.

A．People spy on them and copy.

B．We are strongly dependent on it.

C．Respect for ecosystems helps to avoid such troubles.

D．And positive change can be promoted in the same way.

E．Taking part in environmental protection is a source of joy.

F．We consume the world’s natural resources in our daily life.

G．Even small changes in the ecosystem can cause huge disasters.

24、Of all the changes that have taken place in English-language newspapers during the past quarter-century, perhaps the most far-reaching has been the inexorable decline in the scope and seriousness of their arts coverage.

It is difficult to the point of impossibility for the average reader under the age of forty to imagine a time when high-quality arts criticism could be found in most big-city newspapers. Yet a considerable number of the most significant collections of criticism published in the 20th century consisted in large part of newspaper reviews. To read such books today is to marvel at the fact that their learned contents were once deemed suitable for publication in general-circulation dailies.

We are even farther removed from the unfocused newspaper reviews published in England between the turn of the 20th century and the eve of World War II, at a time when newsprint was dirt-cheap and stylish arts criticism was considered an ornament to the publications in which it appeared. In those far-off days, it was taken for granted that the critics of major papers would write in detail and at length about the events they covered. Theirs was a serious business, and even those reviews who wore (展示) their learning lightly, like George Bernard Shaw and Ernest Newman, could be trusted to know what they were about. These men believed in journalism as a calling（使命）, and were proud to be published in the daily press. 'So few authors have brains enough or literary gift enough to keep their own end up in journalism,' Newman wrote “that I am tempted to define” journalism “as a term of contempt（轻蔑） applied by writers who are not read to writers who are”.

Unfortunately, these critics are virtually forgotten. Neville Cardus, who wrote for the Manchester Guardian from 1917 until shortly before his death in 1975, is now known solely as a writer of essays on the game of cricket. During his lifetime, though, he was also one of England's foremost classical-music critics, and a stylist so widely admired that his Autobiography (1947) became a best-seller. He was knighted in 1967, the first music critic to be so honored. Yet only one of his books is now in print, and his vast body of writings on music is unknown save to specialists.

Is there any chance that Cardus's criticism will enjoy a revival? The prospect seems remote. Journalistic tastes had changed long before his death, and postmodern readers have little use for the richly polished Vicwardian（维多利亚和爱德华时代） prose in which he specialized. Moreover, the amateur tradition in music criticism has been in headlong retreat.

【1】It is indicated in Paragraphs 1 and 2 that

A．arts criticism has disappeared from big-city newspapers.

B．English-language newspapers used to carry more arts reviews.

C．high-quality newspapers retain a large body of readers.

D．young readers doubt the suitability of criticism on dailies.

【2】Newspaper reviews in England before World War 2 were characterized by ___________.

A．free themes.

B．casual style.

C．elaborate layout.

D．radical viewpoints

【3】Which of the following would Shaw and Newman most probably agree on?

A．It is writers' duty to fulfill journalistic goals.

B．It is contemptible for writers to be journalists.

C．Writers are likely to be tempted into journalism.

D．Not all writers are capable of journalistic writing.

【4】What can be learned about Cardus according to the last two paragraphs?

A．His music criticism may not appeal to readers today.

B．His reputation as a music critic has long been in dispute.

C．His style caters largely to modern specialists.

D．His writings fail to follow the amateur tradition.

25、If you hear about Matt Cox’s response to his daughter, who was suspended (暂停) from her school bus for bullying (欺凌), you are likely to have an opinion about his actions.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Maybe we all live in each other’ spaces. Perhaps this is what the photo I took during a summer holiday is for if you treat others with patience and tolerance, then you’ll likely be repaid in another space.

Fifteen years ago, I took a trip in Lecce in southern Italy that summer. Lecce is an important stage for art and culture lovers. Walking in the city center is a dive into the past, between churches and antique buildings that keep precious details and decorations. More importantly, it’s an ideal place for photographers.

One morning, I got up early enough for a panoramic view of the sunrise, the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees. After climbing up a hill, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.

Unluckily, I was about to take out my camera when suddenly a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, I thought, this woman was here to stop for a short rest, and enjoy the scenery. Beyond my expectation, she stood still as if something caught her eye, not noticing anyone else’s presence around her.

Patient as I was, after about 10 minutes, with my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I got bored. Was it too much to ask her to move aside so that I could take just one picture of the landscape? Of course, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation that I didn’t have the heart to mess with that.

Another 10 minutes passed. However, the woman was still there. I grew frustrated. I decided to take the photo anyway. With an unwilling touch of the shutter, I left in low spirits.
