五、阅读理解
A
Imagine having an ear made out of an apple. It seems like a crazy idea. But it could happen in the near future.
Canadian biophysicist Andrew Pelling used an apple to grow a human ear. He thinks 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's a hard job. In the past, scientists have used man-made materials, animal parts and even dead people as scaffolds (支架). But that has proved to be difficult and expensive.
Pelling, and his team, however, found 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 (细胞) to make it a scaffold. The team then added human cells to the apple, and watched it grow. “You can implant (移植) 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 take over the pieces of the apple.
Now Pelling is thinking of other fruit, plants or vegetables to use.
( ) 1. What does Andrew Pelling study
A. Body and organs. B. Biology and organs.
C. Physics and body. D. Biology and physics.
( ) 2. According to Paragraph 4, which is the right order
①Make the apple a scaffold.
②Cut an apple into the shape of an ear.
③Implant this scaffold into the human body.
④Add human cells to the apple scaffold.
A. ①④②③ B. ②①④③ C. ②①③④ D. ④①②③
( ) 3. How will the body keep the implanted scaffolds alive
A. By repairing the scaffolds. B. By replacing the scaffolds.
C. By taking over the scaffolds. D. By sending in cells and a blood supply.
( ) 4. What’s the best title of the passage
A. Scaffolds and cells B. Organs and cells
C. Organs made of apples D. Scientists and apples
( ) 5. What kinds of materials did NOT scientists use as scaffolds to grow organs in the past according to the passage
A. Animal parts. B. Human-made materials. C. Dead people. D. Flowers.
B
Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” These are certainly words that millions of volunteers around the world could agree with.
In the US, April is National Volunteer Month, to praise and thank volunteers who lend their time, talent, and support to what they care about.
__1_______ People who volunteer spend their time doing things they feel strongly about. For example, animal lovers may volunteer at an animal centre to help improve the treatment of animals.
Volunteering allows volunteers to meet new people, try out new skills and explore career choices. __2_______
Take Andrew Makhoul, a student at the University of Pennsylvania, as an example. Andrew didn't spend his last spring break relaxing. Instead, the 19-year-old boy decided to do something for people who were less lucky than himself. He travelled to an orphanage(孤儿院) in Guatemala in Central America. __3________ And it depends on volunteers to stay open. Andrew doesn't speak much Spanish, but he found communication wasn't a problem, “You communicated with love,” according to an article on his university's website. And what he gave out, he got back, “__4_________” Andrew's first time as a volunteer only lasted a week, but by the end of that week, he knew he'd be back soon—because he saw love and hope.
US author Sherry Anderson once wrote, “__5_______” And this is perhaps why volunteers all around the world keep doing what they do—their work is “priceless”.
A. It is in one of the poorest parts of the country.
B. Volunteers don't get paid, not because they're worthless, but because they're priceless.
C. Volunteering means choosing to work without being paid.
D. It's a chance for poor children to get better care and support.
E. Life will be difficult, but I have the confidence to live a happy, full life.
F. For young adults, valuable lessons may also be learned through volunteering.

The United Kingdom has brought to Expo visitors a new version of the Crystal Palace—an amazing cube formed by more than 60,000 slim and transparent acrylic rods(透明的亚克力杆) containing seeds of different plants that were collected in a biodiversity project.
The main structure of the China pavilion, “The Crown of the East has a special roof, made of traditional dougong(斗拱) or brackets (支架), which date back more than 2,000 years. The dougong style features wooden brackets fixed layer upon layer. Dougong was widely used in the Spring and Autumn Period (770 BC – 476 BC)”
