Apple pie is just about as old as our country and even appeared in
11、Americas first cookbook. Have you heard the expression “Its as American as apple pie”? No one says that about pumpkin pie!2.

15、 Sea Holly Cafe.Cassie had been sitting on a chair outside for the past 10 minutes, but not really taking in the beauty of the sea.“Oh, I should be getting back to work.” She rose hurriedly.“Were not busy, take your time.” Jonah came with a cappuccino for her. “Thanks.” She accepted the coffee, “Eve
16、rythings fine.” Then Jonah nodded, revealing a comforting smile, and went back inside.He was a great boss, but Cassie didnt feel like telling him what was wrong.Cassie had gone to study fine art hopefully but dropped out after only a year due to the unbearable homesickness. Since then, she hadnt tou
17、ched her paints for a whole year. Today was doomed to be a sad date, the anniversary of her exciting plans turning to dust. She felt a crushing sense of disappointment. In her painting, she had captured a good likeness of the cloudy sky and the reflection of the dying light upon the water, but the p
18、icture did have a sad, dreary (沉闷的) quality.About 20 minutes later, she was shocked by a voice at her shoulder, “Thats beautiful.”Cassie turned, and there was a woman wearing a blue coat. The woman eyed it again. “You have talent, but there is much sadness in it, for one so young.” Cassies eyes were
19、 filled with tears. “My names Willow,” the woman said kindly, “Why not try painting the sunrise instead, my dear? You might find it helps.”With Willows words echoing in her brain, Cassie rose an hour earlier the next day, caught a bus to the beach and began to paint again.When she finished, Jonah wa
20、s just opening up. He picked the painting up and appreciated it at eye height. “Hey, this is good. Its really “For a moment he struggled for the word, then found it and turned to her, beaming, “Optimistic!”In her picture the sun was powering into the sky, casting a clear, golden pathway across the s

The massive loss of am
24、phibians (两栖动物) in the region from a fungal (真菌的) disease may have contributed to the malaria increase.The spread of the fungal disease was a slow-motion disaster, leading to a decades-long wave of amphibian declines globally. From the 1980s to the 2000s, the wave moved from northwest to southeast a
25、cross Costa Rica and Panama. An analysis of ecological surveys, public health records and satellite data suggests a link between the amphibian die-offs and an increase in human malaria cases.On average, each county had 0.8 to 1.1 additional cases of malaria per 1,000 people per year for about six ye
26、ars, beginning several years after the amphibian losses, Michael Springborn, an environmental economist of the University of California, Davis, and colleagues found.Springborn and colleagues wondered if the impacts that the fungal disease has on the decline of at least 500 species globally stretched
27、 to humans. The team turned to Costa Rica and Panama, where the fungus moved through ecosystems in a somewhat uniform way along the narrow area of land on which the two countries sit, Springborn says. The researchers worked out when the fungus arrived at a given place and then looked at the number o
28、f malaria cases in those places before and after the die-offs. Malaria cases rose in the first couple of years after the decline and remained high for six years or so before going down again for unknown reasons.Studies on the connections between biodiversity loss and health might “help motivate cons
29、ervation by highlighting the direct benefits of conservation to human well-being,” says Hillary Young, a community ecologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara. “Humans are causing wildlife to be lost at a rate similar to that of other major mass extinction events,” she says. “We are inc
30、reasingly aware that these losses can have major impacts on human health and well-being- and, in particular, on risk of infectious disease.”28What directly brought about the rise in malaria cases?AThe extinction of fungus.BThe death of amphibians.CThe spread of a fungal disease.DThe lack of wildlife
31、 conservation.29What can we infer from Springborn and colleagues, findings?AThe number of amphibians dropped dramatically.BThe fungus has little impact on human well-being.CThe countys population multiplied after the amphibian decline.DMalaria cases show relevant changes when amphibians became fewer
32、.30How did the scientists carry out the research?ABy studying the features of the fungus.BBy comparing the number of malaria cases.CBy finding out the track of fungus movement.DBy working out the reason for the amphibian die-offs.31Which statement is Hillary Young most likely to approve of?AHumans s
33、hould keep wildlife at a distance.BHumans cause the major mass extinction events.CHuman well-being is closely connected with wildlife.DHuman health has no relationship with conservation.Researchers have successfully changed the blood type of a donated human lung by treating it with enzymes(酶) markin
34、g an important step towards making universal donor organs.Blood types are largely defined by the presence or absence of certain sugar molecules (分子) called antigens(抗原) on the surface of cells. These can occur not just on the cells of the blood itself, but other tissues. If an antigen isnt recognize
35、d by the bodys immune system, it will mount an attack on these cells. This leads to the rejection of transplanted organs from a donor with a different blood type.People with the most common blood type, O, lack these antigens on their cells, so their organs can be accepted by people with other blood
36、types. If all donor organs could be made type O, for example, the lungs from someone with blood type A, this could be beneficial.To try this, Cypel and his team used a pair of enzymes in the human stomach to digest sugars. They found the enzymes could remove 97 percent of type A antigens in the lung
37、s from a type A donor in 4 hours, which meant the cells had been effectively changed to blood type O.After this treatment, the altered lungs were kept alive using a system known as ex-vivo lung perfusion (离体肺灌注), which supplies organs with nutritious fluid so they are ready for transplantation. To s
38、imulate a transplant, Cypels team added type O blood, which contains antibodies that would attack type A antigens, to the fluid supplying the lungs. The treated lungs had minimal antibody damage compared with untreated lungs.Although cells rid of antigens tend to produce new ones over time, Cypel ho
39、pes the lack of antigens would last long enough for the body to get through the dangerous first few days and weeks after a transplant. The team now intends to test the procedure in animals. The study only looked at the effects of a simulated transplantation over the short term, which isnt enough to
40、assess whether the resurfaced antigens could eventually have a negative effect.32Which of the following may decide the blood type of a person?ASugar.BEnzymes.CAntibody.DAntigens.33Why should the blood type of the donor organs be changed into type O?AType O is better than other blood types.BType O is
41、 more accessible to researchers.COrgans with type O can be more acceptable.DOrgans with type O can help digest antigens.34What do we know about the treated lungs from the text?AThe blood type was temporarily changed.BSigns of severe rejection happened to them.CThere was no effective way to keep them
42、 alive.DThe enzymes were of little use in the treatment.35What is the last paragraph mainly about?APractical suggestions for future study.BDetailed explanations of the findings.CPotential applications of the discovery.DMajor limitations of the present study.五、七选五The Adoption OptionAdopting a pet is
43、rapidly becoming the preferred option for many people who want to add an animal companion. _36_An affordable choice. Its true that many people are happy to part with thousands of dollars for purebred and “designer” crossbred dogs and cats, but rescue pets have a lot going for them and can be more af
44、fordable to purchase.Homeless animals can make wonderful pets. People often assume that dogs and cats end up in shelters because theyre unwanted or badly behaved. There are many reasons owners may need to rehome their pet divorce, lack of suitable accommodation, or the time and money needed to care
45、for a dog. _37_Adult animals have benefits. Generally, if you decide to buy a pet from breeders, only very young animals are available. _38_ And there are many benefits from adopting a more mature dog or cat. They will already be desexed, microchipped and vaccinated, so you will have fewer start-up
46、costs. Most importantly what you see is what you get-a young animals behavior may still be developing, whereas an older animals personality and behavior should be evident, so no surprises._39_ You should only adopt a dog or cat from a reputable shelter or rescue group. A behavioral trainer will asse
47、ss the temperament (脾气) of every dog and cat before theyre put up for adoption. The staff should ask you lots of questions about your lifestyle so they can advise which dogs and cats will best suit your family. Ongoing behavior and training advice should be available, and you should be able to return the pet if things dont work out.To keep in mind. _40_ For example, you need to think carefully about how you will care for it theres a lot of responsibility associated with managing rescue animals appropriately. The costs, the necessary space and the age of people in your ho
