21、Scientists have transfused lab-made red blood cells into a human volunteer in a world-first trial that experts say has major potential for people with hard-to-match blood types or conditions such as sickle cell (镰状细胞) disease. The research could someday mean an end to long searches for compatible (兼容的) donors or dangerous transfusion reactions.

The experimental transfusion was done at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge, England, as part of a collaborative (合作的) effort among UK scientists to understand how lab-made blood transfusions could work.

The scientists took whole blood from donors in a UK database and separated out the stem cells. These are the body’s raw materials — the cells from which all specialized cells, like a red blood cell, can generate. The researchers grew red blood cells from those stem cells and transfused them into two healthy volunteers. The transfusions involved only a tiny amount of blood: the equivalent of one or two teaspoons. A standard blood transfusion would involve many hundred times that amount. This stage of the trial involves two mini transfusions at least four months apart, one with a standard donation of red cells and the other with lab-made cells from the same donor.

The researchers are closely monitoring the volunteers to determine whether the process was safe. They say there have been with “no side effects” so far. They’re also watching how long the lab-grown cells last compared with an infusion (灌输) of standard red blood cells. Red blood cells typically last about 120 days, but a transfusion from a standard donation contains cells that are a variety of ages because the bone marrow (骨髓) continuously makes these cells.

Previous tests have shown that manufactured cells function like normal cells and that these lab-made cells are likely to survive longer overall while in circulation. This study will determine for the first time whether that’s true. Further trials will be necessary to determine whether there could be a clinical use of this lab-grown product.

The research could eventually make a difference to people with sickle cell disease, those who develop antibodies (抗体) against most donor blood types, or those with genetic disorders in which their body can’t make red blood cells or the blood cells they make don’t work well.

【1】What function is expected of the lab-made red blood cells transfusion?

A．It may make it easier to get blood donors.

B．It may grow red blood cells from the stem cells.

C．It may end the dangerous transfusion reactions.

D．It may develop antibodies against many donor blood types.

【2】What can be inferred about the experimental procedure?

A．It is widely considered not safe despite many experiments.

B．The two mini transfusions shouldn’t be carried out closely together.

C．The researchers transfused stem cells into volunteers to monitor them.

D．A standard blood transfusion only need to involve a tiny amount of blood.

【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．The process of lab-made blood transfusions proves safe so far.

B．Lab-made cells survive longer overall than normal cells in circulation.

C．There are two mini transfusions with lab-made cells in the experiment.

D．The stem cells, as the body’s raw materials, can’t produce red1 blood cells.

【4】What’s the passage mainly about?

A．A small amount of blood can make a difference.

B．Lab-made cells outweigh normal cells in a transfusion.

C．Lab-made cells can contribute to blood-related diseases.

D．Lab-made cell transfusions can replace normal blood donations.

22、A new technique using drones (无人机) to count lions in the wild has been tested in Uganda. The drones were used by scientists from The University of Queensland, Australia, to get a more accurate idea of lion populations. At the moment, it is thought that there are between 20,000 and 30,000 wild lions left in Africa. However, the team’s recent findings suggest that there are far fewer lions in the wild than experts previously thought.

Alexander Braczkowski, the lead researcher, spent a year monitoring and filming the big cats in Uganda’s Queen Elizabeth Conservation Area. In this part of Africa, the lions have a habit of spending time lying around in trees. Using a drone, Braczkowski was able to get close to each one and take high-quality photos of its whisker (胡须) pattern. This was useful because each lion’s whisker pattern is unique. The team could then differentiate individual lions using the photos and be sure they were not counting individuals twice. Braczkowski says this is much more accurate than the current counting methods.

One common way to count lions in an area is to estimate the number in one small part of that area, according to how many lion tracks that researchers find. This number is then multiplied to calculate an estimate for how many lions are in the larger area. However, Braczkowski says this is not   as reliable as the new way because lions are not evenly spread out in the wild and the number of lions varies from area to area. Another is to go out at night and play the sound of a distressed prey animal, such as an antelope, through a loudspeaker. The lions are counted as they emerge to find out what the noise is. The trouble with this method is that researchers might count the same lions twice in the dark or miss some, because not all of them might appear.

Braczkowski says people should start using the drone method for counting. Knowing for certain how many lions are in the wild will allow conservationists to know where the big cats are and how to protect them best.

【1】What does the research show?

A．The new technique remains to be tested.

B．The lions in Africa are more than thought.

C．The authenticity of lion populations is challenged.

D．The previous research findings are thoroughly right.

【2】What does the underlined word “differentiate” in paragraph 2 mean?

D．Identify.

【3】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．The usage of the new way.

B．The strengths of the new way.

C．The reliability of the common ways.

D．The inaccuracy of the common ways.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Testing wild lions’ calculating ability

B．Effective measures to protect wild lions

C．Using drones to count lions in the wild

D．Scientific ways to predict the number of wild lions

23、Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of the country’s persistent problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.

Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lay’s, and other favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they clean the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use liners (活衬里) from old coats to line the insides.

It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether they’re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and portable,” Oleita told the Detroit News.

Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and it created 110 sleeping bags last December.

Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita — whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life — and her fellow volunteers. “We are devoted to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says.

And, of course, there’s the symbolism of saving bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty are often closely related. As Oleita told hourdetroit.com: “I think it’s time to show connections between all of these issues.”

【1】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．The final goal of Chip Bag Project.

B．The basic rules of Chip Bag Project.

C．The main work of Chip Bag Project.

D．The significance of Chip Bag Project.

【2】What do we know about the sleeping bag made by Chip Bag Project?

A．Its size is adjustable.

B．It is easy to carry around.

C．It has the function of heating.

D．It is only made of old coats.

【3】Which of the following statements does Oleita probably agree with?

A．Making sleeping bags is easier than buying new ones.

B．Poverty and environmental problems go hand in hand.

C．Making sleeping bags is the best way to help the homeless.

D．Environmental problems have little impact on the homeless.

【4】Which of the following best describes Oleita?

A．Caring and creative.

B．Brave and optimistic.

C．Honest and determined.

D．Talented and easy-going.

24、   Tomatoes are the second-most eaten vegetable in the United States, following potatoes. People eat $60 billion worth worldwide every year, which is a lot.

But how should tomatoes be stored in your kitchen? Chefs and Italians have long left tomatoes at room temperature, while safety-minded types use the refrigerator. Now a new study in Frontiers in Plant Science determines once and for all what the best practices are for storage of tomato.

Researchers at the University of Gottingen grew a variety of tomatoes and then imitated the commercial three-day harvest-to-consumer storage practices. Once they arrived at “home”, the tomatoes were stored either in the refrigerator or at home temperature and then evaluated by a dozen experienced food assessors.

Those assessors were trained at identifying things such as green-grassy smell, tomato-typical smell, tomato-typical flavor, sweetness, sourness, juiciness, firmness, aftertaste…The tomatoes also underwent a great number of analysis, including taste by an “electronic tongue” known as the e-tongue.

Their findings: It doesn’t matter. No significant differences in flavor were found between refrigerators-stored and counter-stored tomatoes.

What matters is how long the tomato is at your house, the variety of the tomato, and the temperature of your refrigerator. The cultivars(品种) had a much higher impact on the flavor than the storage. You should eat them within four days. “The shorter the storage period, the better it is for the flavor and related characteristics,” says the lead author Larissa Kanski, a doctoral candidate in agricultural sciences. Make sure to pay attention to the temperature, as previous studies have shown harmful effects of storing tomatoes at 39 degrees F.

In short, for tasty tomatoes, buy tomatoes that taste good, store them however you want, and eat them within four days.

【1】What’s the main idea of the text?

A.A research on how to store tomatoes in a proper way.

B.The key elements influencing the flavor of tomatoes.

C.Various storage ways of keeping tomatoes in the market.

D.The differences between fridge-stored and counter-stored tomatoes.

【2】Which of the following statements would Larissa Kanski probably agree with?

A.The flavor of tomatoes is changing with temperature.

B.It’s better to eat tomatoes within four days for good flavor.

C.Tomatoes’ qualities are closely related with storage patterns.

D.The e-tongue plays an essential part in analyzing the tomatoes.

【3】Where is the passage probably taken from?

A.A news report. B.The Internet.

C.An advertisement. D.A research report.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Zaha Hadid

Born in Iraq in 1950, Zaha Hadid was the first woman to win the Pritzker prize, the field’s highest honor. But for years, she had to fight to prove that her designs could even be built. She was a pioneer in Deconstructivism: Designing buildings that looked unstable, jagged, or frozen in mid-explosion. She gained a reputation for her gorgeous, fantastical designs—painted by hand. But her ideas looked impossible to build, so they remained on paper.

Then, in 1983, she won a big competition to design a club in the hills of Hong Kong. Hadid proposed carving chunks out of the mountainside, which she called a “man-made geology.” The project was eventually canceled, but the world of architecture then knew her name.

Still, it took another decade before one of her concepts actually got built: A fire station in Germany with no right angles; looking like it could take flight. It was a great success—quickly becoming a prime example of Deconstructivist architecture.

Around the same time, she won an international competition to design an opera house in Wales, but it was overruled by local politicians, and the funding was pulled. Later, Hadid said it was resistance and prejudice that killed the project.

But she kept winning competitions, building momentum—and finally, buildings! By the early 2000s, she was an architecture superstar. She still drew by hand, but adopted new computer technology to model her designs. The software made even wilder shapes possible—including the curves that became her signature. A Hadid design was no longer crazy or impossible—it was simply a Hadid.

Sadly, she died of a heart attack in 2016. By then she had built hundreds of buildings, with many more in progress. And she had proved she could build nearly anything she could imagine.
