21、   The true Olympic spirit has been displayed by Canadian cross-country ski coach Justin Wadsworth, who helped Russian athlete Anton Gafarov with his broken ski during the Men’s Sprint Free Semifinals.

Gafarov’s start wasn't smooth. He fell three times, crashing early in the race and breaking his ski. It was clear that Gafarov was out of the race for the men's finals and wouldn't be able to compete for medals. Still, he wanted to finish in front of the home crowd. but his left ski was too badly damaged in the crash and its base had come off. The Russian skier faced finishing the race by walking to the line, not skiing.

However, the Russian's fall was seen by Canadian coach Justin Wadsworth, who immediately ran on to the course and helped Gafarov. “I went over and gave him one of Alex Harvey's, a member of the Canadian team who didn’t qualify for the finals. It was about giving Gafarov some dignity so he didn't have to walk to the finish area,” Wadsworth said. “We help because we know everyone works so hard in our sport,” says Wadsworth, who was an Olympic skier for the S before becoming a coach. “Everyone wants fair results. It was a matter of allowing Gafarov to finish the race.”

Gafarov was thoughtful about his performance. “My fall cost me a broken ski and a pole,” said Anton Gafarov, adding that he decided to continue fighting for the finals despite all the difficulties.

Gafarov believed the race should be finished in any way possible. “It was a matter of principle to hold on to the end,” he added. He is not devastated (毁灭) by his failure and is eager to take part in the next Winter Olympics despite back problems due to injuries.

22、Scientists found a single dose of the protein Hila worked on lab rats. They said it showed “great promise as a future stroke treatment” but had not yet been tested in human trials.

The researchers travelled to Fraser Island in Australia to hunt for and capture three potentially deadly Australian funnel web spiders. They then took the spiders back to their laboratory “for milking”.

This involved coaxing the spider into releasing its venom, which can then be sucked up using pipettes(吸管). The scientists make a careful study of a protein in the venom and recreated a version of it in their lab.

They then injected this Hila into the lab rats. They found that the protein blocked acid-sensing ion channels in the brain-something the researchers say are key drivers of brain damage after stroke.

Professor Glenn King, who led the research, said, “We believe that we have, for the first time, found a way to minimize the effects of brain damage after a stroke. Hila even provides some protection to the core brain region most affected by oxygen deprivation, which is generally considered unrecoverable due to the rapid cell death caused by stroke.”

Dr. Kate Holmes, deputy director for Research at the Stroke Association, said, “We welcome any treatment that has the potential to reduce the damage caused by stroke, particularly if this can benefit people who are unable to arrive at hospital quickly.”

A stroke is a brain attack that happens when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off or there is bleeding on the brain. Every two seconds, someone in the world will have a stoke. Stroke is the second most common cause of death, causing about6.7million deaths each year, one every five seconds. Almost one in every eight deaths is caused by stroke.

A．Inject the protein into lab rats.

D．Recreate a version of the protein.

【3】What is the main idea of the whole passage?

A．It is significant to acquire a medicine for stroke.

B．A promising cure for stroke is probably on the way.

C．Spiders are contributing to the treatment of strokes.

D．Stroke is the second biggest killer of in the world.

【4】What purpose does the last paragraph serve?

A．To summarize the passage.

B．To introduce the topic.

C．To provide the background.

D．To support the argument.

23、Tommy, a 26-year-old chimp(猩猩),lives in a small cage in a used truck sales lot in New York. Retired from movie work and whatever else once occupied him, he has no chimp friends to keep him company — just a TV. He is worlds away from the rainforest of Western Africa, where chimps spend most of their lives in trees, hunting, and socializing together.

His owner hasn't broken any laws, but an animal rights group called the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) is trying to change the view. The group says chimps have such a humanlike intelligence that they should be recognized as “legal persons" and be placed in an animal shelter and wander free.

You've probably heard the term “animal rights”, but animals don't actually have rights in many countries. Animal-welfare laws punish people who mistreat animals, but that's not the same as chimps having a right to liberty or anything else.

NhRP's first step is to ask a judge to end people's unjust arrest on behalf of Tommy and other privately owned chimps. If the court decides to recognize chimps as legal persons, NhRP's next step will be arguing for what rights the chimps should be granted. "The right that we believe they should have most of all is the right to bodily liberty," says Wise, a NhRP group member. "They should be able to choose how to live their lives.”

Tommy's owner, Pat Lavery, says he rescued Tommy from a careless owner about a decade ago and denies the chimp is mistreated or unhappy. "He likes being by himself,"   he says.

“There's a danger in making a jump to say they're just like people," says Richard Cupp, a professor who writes about animals and the law. "If we' re really focused on chimps being very, very smart, then who knows if maybe someday we might …say, ‘Hey, here's a particular human being that's not very smart at all, maybe the chimps have higher status than this person.’”

【1】What can we know about Tommy?

A．He is living a very lonely life.

B．He dislikes living in the rainforest.

C．He likes watching movies very much,

D．He was illegally bought by Pat Lavery.

【2】What can we infer from the text?

A．Great progress has been made on improving animal rights.

B．Pat Lavery is thought to mistreat Tommy by NhRP.

C．Animal rights are going from bad to worse.

D．Animal rights have been admitted in western countries.

【3】What's the final goal NhRP wants to achieve?

A．To ensure chimps' bodily safety.

B．To stop illegal hunting of chimps.

C．To help chimps find their families.

D．To help chimps enjoy their freedom.

【4】What's Richard Cupp's attitude towards NhRP's efforts to win rights for chimps?

A．Hopeful,

B．Uncaring.

C．Worried.

D．Supportive.

24、A sleepover (在外过夜的聚会) at Legoland Discovery Centre, at the Trafford Centre in Manchester, may sound like the perfect place to host your child's next birthday party — but it will set parents back more than ￡1,000.

All rides — Kingdom Quest Laser Ride, Merlin's Apprentice and Lego City Forest Pursuit — are open during the evening and supervision (监管) on these rides is provided at all times. The Lego Studios 4D Cinema is also open and guests have exclusive use of the Lego construction play area until 10:00 pm, which means you will have a good time and don't need to share any facilities with other groups.

But at ￡35 a head, with a minimum guest list of 30, it's unlikely to be something the average parent could afford, reports Manchester Evening News.

A Legoland spokesman said: "The sleepover package is aimed at groups such as boys between eight and ten, girls between six and eight and youth groups, however it is open to everyone within the terms of the offer. " There is a birthday room to use, and in regard to food, snack boxes can be purchased for the additional cost of ￡4.50. Guests are also welcome to bring along their own food and drinks, and there are storage facilities where they can be kept.

"Also we do have daytime party packages available, which are ￡15 per child midweek and ￡18 per child at the weekend. But these packages have a policy of a minimum of nine and a maximum of 21 people, due to room capacity. "

The spokesman continued, "Included in the price for these parties is the birthday cake, and children's meal of sandwiches, crisps, fruit juice, fruit and Haribo sweets. All attending adults also get a free hot drink and the birthday child gets a free group photograph."

Legoland says that the pricing for the sleepover package is based on overall operating costs of opening the centre exclusively for the group.
