It seems like a crazy idea from a horror movie. But it could happen in the near future.Canadian biophysicist Andrew Pelling used an apple to grow a human ear. He think fruit and vegetables can be used to cheaply repair human body parts in the future.Scientists have been trying to grow organs (器官) in labs to replace our old ones. But it is a hard job. For example, liver cells (肝细胞) can grow in a lab, but he cells still need things like blood vessels ( 血管) to actually work.These things have to grow inside a scaffold(支架).In the past, scientists have used man-made materials, animals parts and even dead people as scaffolds. But that has proved to be difficult and expensive.Pelling and his team, however, f ound the apple to be a cheap and easy-to-use scaffold.They first cut an apple into the shape of an ear. Then they used a special way to take out the apple’s cell and make it a scaffold. The team then added human cells to the apple, and watched it grow.“You can implant these scaffolds into the body, and the body will send in cells and a blood supply and actually keep these things alive,” Pelling said during a Ted Talk speech.The team put the apple scaffold inside a living mouse and the mouse’s cells slowly took over the pieces of apple.Now Pelling is thinking of other fruit, plants or vegetables to use.He says that the shape of flower petals could be perfect for repairing skin. And asparagus(芦笋) could fix a broken spine(脊柱).Now, Pelling and his team are trying hard to put these crazy ideas into reality.40.Pelling’s idea of man-made ear seems crazy because he use as scaffolds.A. animal partsB. dead peopleC. man-made materialsD. ordinary apples41.The underlined word “implant” in Paragraph 7 probably means .A. pickB. putC. produceD. protect42.Which is the right order of making an ear out of an apple according to the passage?a.put the apple scaffold inside a mouseb.add human cells to the apple scaffoldc.cut an apple into the shape of an eard. make the apple ear a scaffolde. take out the apple’s cells in a special wayA. a-b-c-d-eB.b-c-d-a-eC.c-e-d-b-aD.c-d-a-e-b43.From the last three paragraphs, we can infer that Pelling will experiment with otherfruit, plants or vegetables .A. to make human earsB. to repair burnt skinC. to fix a broken spineD. to make human body partsCStarting from April, 2010, you won’t be hearing the word “NBA” on sports programs on CCTV. Instead, sport host will give the full Chinese name when they refer to the NBA –National Basketball Association.

A few other TV stations also received the notice.Fu Zhenguo, an editor of People’s Daily, is one of the people who sugges ted the change. “Firstly, using English in a Chinese-speaking environment is against Chinese law,” he s aid. “Then, using English on Chinese TV programs is unfair to people who don’t understand English. What’s worse, it will have a bad language influence o n kids and teenagers.”A lot of netizens have criticized the move, saying that it will cause problems for them.“I understand what CD, VCD and DVD mean when I hear them. But I won’t know what the TV programs are talking about if I hear those products’ full Chinese names,” a netizen wrote in a BBS post. Following the same post, another netizen wrote jokingly: “I’m not listening to my MP3 now. I’m listening to my Moving Picture Experts Group-1 Audio Layer 3 (动态影像专家压缩标准音频第三层面).”44.What does the underlined word “purity” in the second paragraph mean?A.纯正B. 高贵C. 时髦D. 潮流45.How many reasons did Fu Zhenguo list to show his support f or the change?A. 1B. 2C. 3D. 446.Some netizens went against the change because .A.the application of abbreviations will make Chinese popular.B.the application of abbreviations will attract the youth.C.the application of abbreviations will not simplify the understanding.D.the application of abbreviations will not bring Chinese to an end.47.What can be the full name of CCTV mentioned in the text?A.

When I wrote this, you were 8, still a little boy. In 2002, I was called to active duty in the Marine Corps in the war on Terrorism (恐怖主义). On the 11th of September 2001 when America was attacked, I knew that I would eventually have to go and I was filled with a deep sense of sadness. That night as you and Ke iko were asleep, I looked at your little faces and couldn’t help but fight the tears. I knew it would be hard for you because I had a similar experience. When I was a little boy aged 6, my dad, your Grandpa Cawley, was sent to Vietnam during the war there. I remember how much I missed him, too. But now unfortunately I have come to realize just how rough it must have been for Grandpa to be away from his children for a year. Thinking about this, I wanted to put my thoughts and feelings down for you and your sister. I am so sorry that I had to leave for such a long time. There is no place I would rather be than with you and Keiko. You two are the lights of my life. I have known no greater joy than in the few years since you two were born. I hope to have many more years with you. If this doesn’t happen, then know that I love you more than words can express. If for some reason I don’t make it home, I will need you to take care of your little sister and your Mom. You will be the man of the Cawley family. Be good my son and God will watch over you as he has me. I will be waiting impatiently for the time when we can all be together again.48.The writer of the letter may be .A. an American soldier in the battle fieldB. an American policemanC. a soldier in the Vietnam WarD. a postman working far away from home49.Keiko is the of the writer.A. wifeB. sonC. daughterD. sister50.One of the experiences the writer and his son had in common is that .A.they both experienced the Vietnam WarB.their fathers had to leave them and fight abroad.C.they used to study in the same schoolD.they were both eight when the fathers had to leave them51.We can infer(推断) that .A. the writer was a devoted sonB. the writer was a brave soldierC.the writer realized he might die in the battle fieldD.the writer’s wife was suffering from a terrible illness.E阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
