Although he is one of China's most famous scientists, Yuan Longping considers_______a farmer, for he works the land to do his research. Indeed, his sunburnt face and arms and slim, strong body are just like those of millions of Chinese farmers, for whom he has struggled ( 奋斗)_______the past fifty years. Yuan Longping grows what is called super hybrid ( 杂种的) rice. In 1973, he became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice _______has a high output. This special strain of rice makes it possible to produce 20%, more of the crop in _______ same fields. Now more than 60% of the rice produced in China each year_______from this hybrid strain.

Born in 1930, Yuan Longping graduated_________Southwest Agricultural College in 1953. Since then, finding ways to grow more rice has been his life goal. ___________ a young man, he saw the great need for _______ the rice output. At that time, hunger was a disturbing problem in many parts of the countryside. Yuan Longping_______ for a way to increase rice harvests without expanding ( 扩大) the area of the fields. In 1950, Chinese farmers ________produce about fifty-six million tons of rice. In a recent harvest, however, __________two hundred million tons of rice was produced. These increased harvests mean that 22% of the world's people __________ from just 7% of the farmland in the world. Yuan Longping is now spreading his knowledge in India. Vietnam and many other ________ developed countries to increase their rice harvests. Thanks to his research, the UN has more tools in the battle to rid ( 摆脱) the world of________ .

It is late at night, People in Cape Town, South Africa. line up to collect water from a spring (泉). One by one, they fill their plastic bottles. Each person can take up to 13 gallons (加仑). Policemen stand by to keep the rules. In a few months, that number will be cut in half.

Cape Town is a city of four million people. It is running out of water. For three years, the city has faced a drought. It is the worst in a century. Local reservoirs are mostly sand and dried earth. Officers are telling people to save water. Otherwise, the city will one day be forced to turn off the supply to homes and businesses. That day is being called Day Zero. At press time, Day Zero was expected to be June 4. But the date may change based on water levels in local reservoirs.

"There are a lot of people who have not realized the problem," said Shirley Curry. She waited at a spring to get her share of water. "Now they suddenly realize this is for real."

On Day Zero, each person's daily water supply will drop to about 6.5 gallons. (The average American uses 80 to 100 gallons of water per day.) Lines at the city's 200 water collection points will probably get even longer.

Some places will not be included in the cutoff. The water will keep running in hospitals and schools. It will stay on in poor areas, too. This is to prevent illness. Areas popular with tourists may also have water. More than 10 million people visit Cape Town each year. Tourism provides nearly 10% of South Africa's economy.

Across the city, people are making an effort to save water. They are taking 90-second showers. They are washing their clothes less often. Using tap water to wash cars or fill swimming pools is not allowed. Those caught using too much water are punished.

For some people, rationing ( 定量供应 ) now feels normal. Kelson da Cruz keeps one container of water near the shower. Another he uses for brushing his teeth and washing his face. He uses non-drinking water to flush the toilet.

26. How much water will each person in Cape Town get in a few months?

A．13 gallons.

B．10 gallons.

C．9 gallons.

D．6.5 gallons.

28. Which of the following is NOT a way to save tap water?

A．Taking shorter showers.	B．Washing more clothes one time.
C．Filling swimming pools.	D．Avoiding washing cars with tap water.

29. What does the underlined word "flush" in the passage mean?

A．冲洗

B．注满

C．清洁

D．排放

30. What is the passage mainly about?

A．The serious water shortage ( 短缺) in Cape Town.

B．The people in Cape Town didn't realize how serious their water problem was.

China has cloned (克隆) two monkeys using the same method that created Dolly the sheep in Scotland，leading the way for more exact animal testing for new drugs, scientists said on January 25th, 2018.

Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua. the primates （灵长动物），were created using the nuclear transfer Of somatic cells (体细胞核移植)   at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Neuroscience.

"Cloning monkeys using somatic cells has been a world-class challenge because it is a primate that shares its genetic makeup ( 基因组合) with humans,"   said Pu Muming, the director of the neuroscience institute in Shanghai.

"By cloning monkeys using somatic cells, we can cultivate (培育) a large number of genetically identical offspring ( 后代) in a short amount of time, and we can even change their genes to suit our needs, he said. "This can save time, cut down experiment costs and produce more exact results, leading to more effective medicine."

Sun Qiang, the director of the non-human primate research at the institute, said most of the drug experiments are done on laboratory mice. However. drugs that work on mice might not work or may even have negative effects on humans because the two species are so different.

"Monkeys and humans are both primates, so they are much more closely related. and testing on monkeys is supposed to be as effective as testing on humans," Sun said. This is especially useful in testing drugs for some neural disease (神经疾病) he added.

However, some fear that the technology used to clone monkeys has opened the door to copying humans.

While the technical barrier（ 障碍） of cloning humans has indeed been broken,   "the reason we break this barrier is to produce animal models that are helpful for medical research and human health," said Pu.

"There is no purpose to apply this method to humans."

31. The scientists used the same method that created Dolly the_______ to clone the two monkeys.

A．cat

B．rat

C．sheep

D．horse

32. Using somatic cells to clone monkeys can help with all of the following EXCEPTto________.

A．save time when cultivating genetically identical offspring.

B．treat all neural diseases.

C．reduce experiment costs

D．produce effective drugs

33. What does the underlined sentence mean?

A．Different species should use different drugs.

B．Drugs that work on mice mustn't be used on humans.

C．If drugs work on humans, we can use them on mice.

D．Drugs work on species that are similar to humans, which can reduce the possibility of negative effects on humans.

34. In which part of a newspaper may you read the passage?

A．Science

B．Environment

C．Culture.

D．Fashion

35. What can we learn from the passage?

A．It will be more expensive to test cloned animals for new drugs.

B．The success in cloning monkeys will be helpful to clone humans.

C．Cloned monkeys will lead the way for medical research and human health.

D．It is easy to clone monkeys by using somatic cells because they are primates.

Pat McGee noticed her daughter hadn't returned to the dentist's waiting room just before her surgery(外科手术) was supposed to start.

She walked to the bathroom and found Jessica McDaniels, 32, in there, crying.

McGee took her daughter into her arms.

"We're going to say goodbye to the old JessicA." she said. "And hi to the new Jessica."

McDaniels, from St. Louis, US, had been wishing for this day since high school, when the bullying ( 欺凌) about her teeth started. Now that it was finally happening, she was nervous.

It was a social media ( 社交媒体) post two months ago that got her there. Someone posted a photo of McDaniels with a comment about her overbite ( 龅牙) — a serious problem that affects the teeth. The post was shared many times, with many people making mean remarks about her appearance.

The bullies didn't know the road McDaniels had traveled. She experienced nine operations (手术) on her ears from age 2 to 12 years old. She was almost deaf in her right ear. Her adult teeth didn't start coming in until she was 11 or 12, and doctors couldn't understand why they were pushed outward. It got worse as she got older.

McDaniels had been trying for years to get her teeth fixeD. but it was always too expensive.

When her story got out, dentists wanted to help her. One of them, Maryann Udy, got in touch with McDaniels and offered her a new smile — free of charge.

McDaniels wasn't sure at first, so she called her mother.

She told McDaniels that Udy was her angel. "You need to do it," she told her daughter.

The surgery was long and complicated （复杂的）. It took weeks for the swelling(肿块) to go down, and several more months before McDaniels new smile was ready.

Later that year, she looked at her old photos online and smiled. "I loved her," she said.

"She's grateful to be in less pain, to be on the path to a new smile. Sometimes, though, it feels like something is missing from who she was."

Still, she loves taking selfies ( 自拍) and admiring her new appearance.

"I looked good before," she said. "I look even better now."

36. How did McDaniels feel before the surgery?

A．Grateful

B．Anxious.

C．Hopeful.

D．Annoyed.

37. What does the underlined word " it" in Paragraph 5 refer to?

Millions of people in the UK play games for fun.     46    , playing games as their full-time job. Did you know that football teams such as West Ham and Manchester City employ esports (电子竞技) players? They send them around the world to compete in football video game competitions. It's not easy being a professional gamer, though.    47    , five or six days a week, do exercises like typing something and trying to type it faster and faster and study videos of other players and plan ways to beat them.
