26、 Scientists in Argentina have created the world's first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce human-like milk.
Genetic engineering was used to introduce the "mothers' milk" genes into the animal before birth, according to the National Institute of Agribusiness Technology in Buenos Aires.
As an adult, the cloned cow "will produce milk that is similar to that of humans", which will prove "a development of great importance for the nutrition of infants (婴儿)," said the institute. "The cloned cow, named Rosita ISA, is the first in the world with two human genes that contain the proteins present in human milk," said the statement.
In April, scientists in China published details of research showing that they had created dairy cows which produced milk containing proteins found in human breast milk. But the Argentine team said the Chinese only introduced one human gene, while their research involved two, meaning the milk will more closely resemble that of humans.
"Our goal was to raise the nutrition value of cows' milk by adding two human genes, which do good to the immune system of infants," said Adrian Mutto, from the National University of San Martin which worked with the institute.
Cristina Kirchner, President of Argentina, said that the scientific institute made all Argentines proud. She also said that she had refused the "honour" of having the cow named after her. "They came to tell me that the name is Cristina, but what woman would like to have a cow named after her? It appeared to me to be more proper to call it Rosita."
【1】What is the passage mainly about?
A.The importance of genetic engineering.
B.Ways to improve mothers' milk.
C.Advanced agricultural technology in Argentina.
D.A cloned cow to produce human-like milk.
【2】Which of the following can best replace "more closely resemble" in Para. 4?
A.Have more varieties than.
B.Have more nutrition than.
C.Be more similar to.
D.Be more different from.
【3】What can be inferred from Cristina Kirchner's statements?
A.She was quite satisfied with the research done by the institute.
B.She considered it an honour to name the special cow.
C.She felt it improper to be named after the cow.
D.She refused to give a name to the cow out of self-respect.
27、Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.
【1】Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?
A. To explain what they are.

28、 On a Sunday afternoon, the sun was burning in eastern Singapore, and a group of young Singaporeans were busy laying out scissors, electric razors, brushes, mirrors, aprons and chairs. They were here to volunteer with the community initiative Backalley Barbers(BAB), which has been snipping away at social barriers since 2014 by offering free haircuts to the discriminated and the poor.
Among them is Cai Yinzhou, the young man who heads BAB. He was inspired to take barbering matters into his own hands after befriending a group of migrant workers. “I was playing badminton with a group of workers who lived behind my house. And one of the workers, whose father had a health issue, was working very hard... to try to save money to send back home,” Yinzhou recounts. “Why not learn how to cut my own hair and offer him a free haircut? It was a very small thing that I could do for him. That was how BAB started.”
Till now, volunteers have styled more than 2,200 heads, picking up their skills from professionals. “Our volunteers come from various kinds of background,” says Yinzhou. “The common heart is people who are willing to serve. With collective people working towards a common goal, we can change communities. That’s a great starting point.”
Beyond the free haircuts, conversations form the root of BAB’s mission. “We learn about the sacrifices migrant workers have made, the challenges they have at work. And some of them with issues, for example, injuries, or salary claim problems, we refer them to the relevant authorities for help. But the baseline is really making friends with them first,” Yinzhou said.
Yinzhou believes these friendships are invaluable, as they foster cultural understanding. “People come together although we are different, realising that we have the potential to help one another.”Yinzhou says.
【1】How does the author start the passage?

C.Befriending people with different backgrounds.
D.Becoming a worldwide non-profit organization.
【4】What’s the core factor to push BAB forwards according to Yinzhou?

C.Holding conversations. D.Forming true friendships.
