But now, it seems like the answer could have been inside our own bodies the whole time.Recently, the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) in the US, a g
18、overnment agency thats responsible for healthcare, approved a new form of gene therapy(疗法) that could mean the end of a certain type of cancer.The therapy allows scientists to “train” the immune(有免疫力的) cells of sick patients to fight leukemia(白血病) a form of blood cancer that mostly affects young peo
19、ple.The exciting new treatment works by removing healthy immune cells from the patient, known as T-cells, which are then changed to be able to “hunt down” cancer cells.The cells are then put back into the patient before they begin to get rid of the patients leukemia over time, similar to how the bod
20、y fights off other illnesses.“This is truly an exciting new day for cancer patients,” Louis J. DeGennaro, president of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, said in a news release.Up until now, a long and painful marrow transplant(骨髓移植) was the only option for many leukemia patients.In this procedure,
21、healthy blood cells are taken from a donator and placed into the sick patient, who also has to go through chemotherapy (化疗) to allow their body to adjust to the new cells.But with a recovery rate of around 3% according to a news release published by the FDA its hoped that the days of painful trips t

I initially thought my fly was open,
27、 or that something was stuck in my teeth. But as I took my seat, I heard one student whisper, “Why is a black boy taking Honors?” So, my fly wasnt open. An honors level class had simply been taken by a student whose skin was brown.Many people think my clothes should be big enough for me to live in,
28、or expect me to listen to only “black music.” In seventh grade, a group of my classmates fixed their cold stares on my clothes. They called out to me, “Go get your gangsta clothes.” In one of my Spanish classes, the teacher asked me, “Do you like rap music or rock music more?” I replied, “Rock.” The
29、 look of shock on my classmates faces made me uncomfortable.Now I still take all Honors courses. I still wear clothes that fit me. My music library covers from rock to pop to techno, and almost everything in between. When it comes to choosing my friends, I am still colorblind. I continue to do my be
30、st to work in school in order to reach my goals; and yet, when I look in the mirror, I still see skin of that same brown.I believe in being myself. I believe that I myself should decide who I am and what actions I take in life. In high school, popularity often depends on your willingness to follow t
31、rends. And Ive been told that it doesnt get much easier going into adulthood. But the only other option is to sacrifice my personality for the satisfaction and approval of others. This can be appealing, but Im not going to do that.1、Why did his classmates laugh at him?AHis fly was open.BSomething wa

34、er over the last century, with South Korean women shooting up by more than 20cm on average, and Iranian men gaining 16.5cm. A global study looked at the average height of 18-year-olds in 200 countries 1914 and 2014. The results show that while Swedes were the tallest people in the world in 1914, Dut
35、ch men have risen from l2th place to claim top spot with an average height of 182.5cm. Larvian women, meanwhile, rose from 28th place in 1914 to become the tallest in the world a century later, with an average height of 11.8cm. James Bentham, a co-author of the research says the global trend is like
36、ly but once you average over whole populations, genetics plays a less key role, he added.But while height has increased around the world, the trend in many countries of north and sub-Saharan Africa causes concern, says Elio Riboli of Imperial College. While height increased in Uganda and Niger durin
37、g the early 20th century, the trend has reversed in recent years, with height decreasing among 18-year-olds.One reason for these decreases in height is the economic situation in the 1980s, said Professor Alexander. The nutritional and health problems that followed the policy of structural adjustment
38、, he says, led to many children and teenagers failing to reach their full potential in terms of height.Bentham believes the global trend of increasing height has important implications. How tall we are now is strongly influenced by the environment we grew up in, he said. If we give children the best
39、 possible start in life now, they will be healthier and more productive for decades to come.1、What can be learned from Paragraph I?AThe increase in womens height is much bigger than mens in the last century.BThe last century has seen a great increase in peoples height in most countries.CGenetics pla
40、ys a key role in the increase of peoples height in the last century.DDutch and Swedes are ranked first and second in height in the world nowadays.2、The underlined word reversed in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by .Aslowed down.Bgone upwards.Cchanged to the contrary.Dcome to life again.3、According to t
41、he text,James Bentham suggests that .AThe economic situation of some countries should be improved.BEnvironment protection should be attached great importance to.CThe global trend of increasing height should be closely watched.DChildrens proper nutrition and healthcare should be guaranteed.25（10分）Do
42、dogs understand us?Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning
43、skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩).In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out
44、 of 40 commands right. As the dog couldnt see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The o
45、wner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impr
46、essive.Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.Its hard to know if all dogs understand at least s
47、ome of the words we say. Even if they do, they cant talk back. Still, it wouldnt hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!1、From paragraph 2 we know that _ .Aanimals are as clever as human beingsBdogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzeesCchimpanzees have very good word-learning skillsDdogs have similar
