Surgeons in Spain have successfully carried out the worlds first organ transplant using new stem cell(干细胞) technology. But 1 are stem cells? Most cells in our bodies are designed to 2 specific purposes for example, a liver cell develops to work in the liver and cannot become a heart cell. But stem cells are 3 . They are very young, and in the 4 scientists can grow them into different types of cell. Claudia Castillo needed a new windpipe(气管) after contracting tuberculosis. Scientists from the University of Bristol in the UK took a donor windpipe, or trachea, from someone who had 5 died. They used strong chemicals to remove the donors cells, leaving a tissue scaffold. This was repopulated(重新构成) with cells from Ms Castillos windpipe and nose, and stem cells from her bone marrow. After four 6 the cells had grown sufficiently for the trachea to be transplanted into Ms Castillo. Currently, transplant patients have to take drugs for 7 of their lives to prevent their bodies rejecting the new 8 . These 9 can have bad side-effects, and do not always prevent rejection. But by using Ms Castillos own cells, 10 were able to trick her body into 11 the new trachea was her own organ. Five months on, Claudia Castillo is in 12 health. This ground-breaking procedure could be used in other transplant operations in the future. Scientists 13 believe stem cells might be used to treat Parkinsons disease, Alzheimers disease, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, diabetes, burns and spinal cord damage. 14 , stem cell research is extremely controversial. The most effective stem cells do not come from adults but from embryos created in laboratories and which are just a few days old.

One of the primary sources of this knowledge lies in numerous tests run on meteorites(陨星) that have landed on earth. Small traces of amino acids have been found, again and again, from a countless number of meteorites. An American scientist and researcher, Sandra Pizzarello, has recently discovered that the amino acids found on earth share the same simple structure as amino acids found in outer space. This discovery offers proof that extraterrestrial(来自地球外的) life could, quite realistically, resemble life on earth. Many years ago, Pizzarello and a colleague conducted research on amino acids extracted(提取) from a meteorite that landed in Australia in 1969. As they analyzed the material, they discovered a greater number of acids indicating a tendency towards “left-handedness” over “right-handedness”.Further evidence to support these findings came from the analysis of pristine meteorites found in Antarctica. The frozen conditions of Antarctica ensure that meteorites are preserved and remain unaffected by the earth. These buried meteorites are usually discovered due to constant motion of the ice, which eventually brings the objects back to the surface.According to Pizzarello, this discovery is important because it shows that a key molecular (分子的)trait(特性) that defines life here on earth appears to have had the same effect on the cosmic lineage(世系) of life in outer space. In other words, the fictional images of aliens from movies and popular television shows such as Star Trek might be more realistic than we used to think.Is there life on other planets? Do aliens resemble human beings? Maybe one day, with continued scientific research and advancement in space travel and research, we will find out.1. What are amino acids?A. A building material. B. A chemical. C. A life form. D. A building block of life forms.2. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Our knowledge of amino acids from outer space has been gained from the tests on meteorites that landed on earth.B. The meteorites found in Antarctica had reamained in good condition largely because no one lives there.C. The producers of movies about aliens must have done research on amino acids from meteorites.D. The author doesnt believe that aliens might exist in outer space. 3. What has Sandra Pizzarello discovered recently?A. Extraterrestrial life must resemble life on earth.B. The amino acids found on earth share the same simple structure as amino acids found in outer space.C. A lot of acids indicate a tendency towards “right-handedness” over “left-handedness”.D. A key molecular trait has the same effect on the cosmic lineage of life in outer space. 4. What has made the discovery of the buried meteorites in Antarctica possible?A. Continued scientific research.B. Advancement in space travel and research.C. The constant motion of the ice eventually brings the objects back to the surface.D. The discovery of amino acids. 5. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. Amino Acids Offer Proof of Alien Life in Outer SpaceB. There Is Life in Other PlanetsC. Extraterrestrial Life Resembles Life on EarthD. Small Traces of Amino Acids Have Been Found BOn my planet, nobody needs to die. It was only ten years ago that scientists here on Xeron developed technology to bring the dead back to life. That does sound strange, doesnt it? But of course these dead “people” are not made of flesh and blood but celluloid(假象牙) and computer chips. The scientists found that because our population was declining people were becoming longly in their small settlements. So they set to work to solve the problem. After twenty years of dedication they succeeded. They discovered that “people” could be copied from old home movies. The “person” is combined with computer records about him or her to create a virtual “relative”. The family can chat and live with him or her. Once a family takes up the offer of a constant companion, their upkeep is very cheap. He or she does not need food or clothes, is never ill and does not need haircuts or new shoes.This project has been such a success that the scientists are now working on ways to bring back “people” who died long ago so that they can take on new roles. In 2030 they hope to be able to reproduce some of the great people of the 20th century: perhaps even Karl Marx, Albert Einstein, or Chairman Mao.So if you are lonely, find an old home movies and choose the relative you would like to bring back to life. Then call Xeron 7257 and one of our representatives will call you back. Prices are very reasonable. Call today or write for our brochure for full details at Xeron People Regeneration Ltd, Bonjon 5675, Xeron. Please mark your envelope BROCHURE or quick reply! 6. How are these dead “people” different from us?A. They are made of flesh and blood. B. They are made of celluloid and computer chips.C. They are made of flesh and celluloid.D. They are made of blood and computer chips. 7. What is NOT true about the copied “people” ?A. Their upkeep is very expensive. B. They dont need food or clothes.C. They are never sick. D. They dont need haircuts or new shoes. 8. What is the reason for scientists to bring great minds back to life?A. So that they can take now roles. B. Because scientists want to show off their talents.C. Because people need them. D. So that they can make the same contribution to society. 9. When you want a relative to be brought back to life, which of the following orders is right?a. call Xeron 7257 b. find an old home moviec. choose the relative youd like to bring back to lifed. one of the representatives calls you backe. a relative is brought back to lifeA. a-b-c-d-e B. a-c-b-d-e C. b-c-a-d-e D. b-a-c-d-e 10.

Great People Will Never Die . 书面体现假设你是小明，请根据你校美化校园的规划，用英语给你在美国的笔友Peter写一封短信，简介该规划。短信的重要内容如下：规划目的美化校园、净化空气发明良好学习和生活环境规划内容(由学生自己决定)种植花草树木建一种植物园，供参观、实践建一种小花园，供休息、读书建几座名人雕塑，鼓励师生注意：1.短信的开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数。2词数：120左右。3参照词汇：雕塑statue (n.) 植物园botanical garden (n.)Dear Peter,I would like to tell you that our school has worked out a new program._Welcome to our school if you have any chance.Yours,Xiao Ming参照答案. 单选，从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳答案完毕句子1.
