8、 won.After that she had all the confidence she needed to keep playing and beating the boys. Now as the only professional female golfer in Senegal, she competes almost exclusively against men.“Now Im used to playing with men. I train in the morning, noon and night. Im in the gym three or four times p
9、er week. So that also gives me more confidence.” She said. Jai turned professional seven years ago.Shes placed in dozens of competitions around the world including in Thailand, Kenya and South Africa. Her accomplishments are particularly noteworthy considering Senegal is a conservative Muslim nation
10、, where women are discouraged from participating in sports especially at the professional level. “When youre Muslim, we prefer to keep girls at home to find them a husband and make them a housewife.” She told journalist.In 2020 the Senegalese Golf Federation agreed to help Jai establish a golf acade
11、my, in preparation for the 2026 summer youth Olympics in Dakar. It would be the first Olympic games to ever be held on African soil.

12、 on preparing the next generation of female golfers including her daughter.“Girls will be part of it I mean on an equal basis like boys, and that would be something that I think we are prepared and committed to do.

17、story. In a two-hour procedure, led by Dr Robert Montgomery at New York University (NYU) Langone Health in the US, surgeons successfully attached a kidney from a genetically-engineered (转基因的) pig to a human. The kidney functioned normally and wasnt rejected by the persons immune system.Montgomery sa
18、id that the success of the procedure was a “transformative (变革的) moment”. “It was a kidney that was immediately functioning,” Montgomery told CBS News. The recipient was a brain-dead patient with signs of kidney dysfunction (功能障碍) whose family agreed to the experiment before she was due to be taken
19、off life support, researchers told Reuters.For three days, the kidney was attached to the patients blood vessels (血管) by the upper leg and maintained outside her body to give researchers access. This kidney was never meant to serve as a permanently functioning organ for the patient. Instead, the poi
20、nt of the surgery was to test whether the body would reject the organ. Researchers have been working toward the possibility of using animal organs, namely pigs, for transplants for years. The problem lies in how to prevent the body from rejecting the organ.This is where the idea of using an organ fr
21、om a genetically-engineered pig came into play.According to Popular Science, pig cells contain a sugar molecule (分子) that is foreign to the human body and causes organ rejection. Montgomerys team thought that using a modified (基因改良的) pig that wouldnt produce this sugar molecule would overcome the is
22、sue of organ rejection. This could give hope to many down the road.Montgomery said that the NYU kidney transplant experiment should pave the way for trials in patients with end-stage kidney failure, possibly in the next year or two, CNN reported. While there is still much to be done before entire pi
23、g organs are regularly used in people, the prospect itself is encouraging. Amy Friedman, a former transplant surgeon, told The New York Times that she hopes that in the future, it will be possible to use other organs grown in pigs as well. “Its truly mind-boggling (难以置信的) to think of how many transp
24、lants we might be able to offer.”8What can we know about the NYU kidney transplant surgery?AThe patient was cured completely.BThe kidney would serve as a life-long organ for the patient.CThe kidney worked without rejection.DThe pigs genes were successfully engineered.9Why did Montgomerys team use a
25、modified pig in the surgery?AA modified pig has a special sugar molecule.BA modified pig contains an organ that will not cause rejection.CA sugar molecule is absent in a modified pig.DUsing a modified pig is much easier for the transplant.10What is Montgomerys attitude towards the experiment?AFavour
26、able.BDisapproving.CAmbiguous.DNeutral.11What can we infer from the last paragraph?AThe future of organ transplants is unpromising.BOrgans from other animals will be used in the future.CThis kind of transplants will not be offered any more.DThere is a long way to go before regularly using pig organs
27、 in people.Have you ever wondered what the food you eat every day can tell you about where you come from? Have you ever wondered why people from different parts of the world eat different types of food? Do you ever ask yourself why certain foods or culinary (烹饪的) traditions are so important to your
28、culture? There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think.On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our cultures. It becomes a part of who each of us is. Many of us associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our famil

It also operates as an expression of cultural identity. Immigrants bring the food of their countries with them wherever they g
30、o and cooking traditional food is a way of preserving their culture when they move to new places.In China, harmony is a vital quality in almost every aspect of life. This is reflected in Chinese cuisine, where almost every flavor is used in a balanced way creating delicious dishes with flavors that
31、go well together. The cuisine of the United States also reflects its history. The European colonization of the Americas brought European ingredients and cooking styles to the U.S.As the world becomes more globalized, it is easier to access cuisines from different cultures. We should embrace our heri
32、tage(传统)through our cultures food but we should also become more informed about other cultures by trying their foods. Its important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it.12What does the author want to express in Para

34、t Chinese food?AIt is rich in all kinds of vitamins.BIt balances the dishes of different countries.CIt is extremely crucial to balance peoples daily life.DIt contains abundant dishes with various flavors.15What can we learn about food from this passage?AIt binds us to the society, holding a special
35、and personal value for us.BThe European colonist in Americas brought the ingredients and cooking styles from their hometown to the USACIn Chinese culture, harmony in cuisine is of little significance.DWe should refuse the cuisines in other cultures.二、七选五Why Is Independence Important?When we speak of
