A
Planting trees around poultry(家禽) farms can improve air and water quality－and relations with neighbors. Research has shown that just three rows of trees near poultry houses can reduce the release of dust and ammonia(氨水)．They can also reduce the strong smells of ammonia gas.
The trees seize dust, ammonia and smell in their leaves. They also provide shade from the sun, so they reduce cooling costs in summer. And they act as a windbreak, so they reduce heating costs in winter. Trees can also improve water quality around farms by removing pollutants from soil and groundwater.
Traditionally the farms used windows to provide fresh air in the chicken houses. Farmers rarely planted trees or tall crops around the buildings, so there would be no barrier to the airflow.
But then farms began to use new airing systems. Instead of windows, the new systems used tunnel fans to circulate air. The fans directed airflow from the poultry houses toward the homes of neighbors.
Researchers led by George Malone at the University of Delaware began dealing with the problem in 2000. They found that over a period of six years, planting three rows of trees reduced total dust and ammonia by more than half. And they found that smells were reduced by eighteen percent.
The scientists reported their findings in 2008 at a meeting of the American Chemical Society. For the first row nearest the fans, they generally suggested trees that lose their leaves in the fall or trees with waxy leaf surfaces. They suggested evergreen trees for the other two rows. Some trees work better than others. And what works in one area of the country may not work as well in others.
Farmers may think trees will take too long to grow and be effective. But some trees can grow quickly. At least one-third of the Delmarva farms have planted trees, technically known as vegetative environmental buffers(缓冲). The idea offers a way to cut pollution, save money and energy, and make the neighbors happy.
31．The trees around the poultry farms can help do all the following EXCEPT ________.
A．stopping the strong smells from releasing from poultry
B．purifying the quality of air and water around the farm
C．increasing barrier to reduce the airflow with outside
D．making the neighbour feel more comfortable
32．What do the farmers usually do to provide fresh air for their poultry?
A．They planted a lot of trees around their farms.
B．They dug a lot of tunnels in their poultry houses.
C．They planted a great many tall crops around the farms.
D．They built windows and tunnel fans in the poultry houses.
33．The trees around the poultry are most effective to ________.
A．the dust and ammonia
B．the smells of ammonia gas
C．cooling and heating costs
D．noise of poultry around
34．From the passage we can infer ________.
A．the three rows of tree can take in all the dust from the poultry houses
B．residents should get away from the poultry houses
C．the way of planting trees has been widely used in America
D．different areas should experiment their own proper trees to plant
B
Colony collapse disorder first struck honey bees in the United States in late 2006. Over the next two years, beekeepers lost more than one-third of their honey bees.
Scientists in the United States and other countries have been working to explain the mysterious disappearances of bees. Now, a new study suggests that several viruses may act together.
Scientists from the University of Illinois and the United States Department of Agriculture did the study. The team compared bees from affected colonies with those from healthy colonies. They were looking for differences in gene expression in the guts(肠) of the bees.
The scientists found that the affected bees had a number of viruses from a group called picorna-like viruses. The infections observed in the bees included Israeli acute paralysis(瘫痪) virus and deformed wing virus.
Tiny insects likely play a big part in spreading the viruses. Varroa mites have been causing serious problems in bee colonies in the United States since the late 1980s. These mites carry picorna-like viruses.
The viruses appear to harm the bees' ability to use their genetic material to produce proteins needed to fight infections. Researcher Reed Johnson, now at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, says the study suggests that the damaged proteins are unable to respond effectively when attacked.
University of Illinois Professor May Berenbaum says it appears that bees could deal with one or two viruses at the same time, but not three or four.
She says the picorna-like viruses “hijack” the ribosome(核糖体) in cells. Ribosomes are structures in which proteins are made. As a result the ribosome produces only viral proteins. The professor says ribosome is central to the survival of any organism. If it is compromised, then the bees could not defend themselves against pesticides or fungal infections or bacteria or poor nutrition.
35．The scientists working on the colony of bees in order to________.
A．guide the beekeepers to keep bees well
B．develop a new type of bee
C．find out the reason for the bees' reduction
D．compare the difference between certain bees
36．The affecting virus spread through ________.
A．little animals B．little insects
C．other bees D．beekeepers
37．What plays a key part in making the organism survive?
A．Proteins. B．Ribosome.
、C．Nutrition. D．Gene.
38．From this passage we can learn ________.
A．American honey bees almost extinct in recent years
B．American scientific organization pay little attention to honey bees' reduction
C．bees could deal with three or four viruses at the same time
D．the healthy proteins are able to respond effectively when attacked

This is the VOA Special English Health Report.
Leprosy(麻疯病)—also called Hansen's disease—is a bacterial disease that causes skin wounds and nerve damage. The disease can severely disfigure victims and cause death. Untreated patients can spread the bacteria from their nose and mouth through the air to people who are near them a lot.
But doctors have been able to treat leprosy since the 1940s. Today they use a combination of three drugs. Experts say after the first treatment, patients can no longer infect others.
At the start of this year there were two hundred thirteen thousand cases of leprosy reported in one hundred twenty-one countries. The World Health Organization says there were almost two hundred fifty thousand new cases last year. But the drug combination can cure the disease within six to twelve months. The number of new cases has been falling in many countries. But there are places where leprosy is still spreading quickly. These include areas of Angola, Brazil, Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo and India. Other areas are in Madagascar, Mozambique, Nepal and Tanzania.
Leprosy is an ancient disease. Its victims have been highly stigmatized(非难)—often blamed for their condition and made to feel unclean. In India, leprosy has traditionally been considered a punishment for something bad done in a former life. Other cultures have considered it a sign of evil.
James Staples teaches at Brunel University in Britain. He tells us that modern knowledge about leprosy does not necessarily reduce the stigma(污名). Public health campaigns spread the message that leprosy is curable and not highly infectious. Yet he says this message is often more scary for people than the idea that leprosy is some sort of spiritual punishment. That explanation may not do much for the patient's place in society, he says, “but at least other people don't think they are going to catch it.”
39．Leprosy can be infected through________.
A．air breath B．skin touch
C．food and drink D．poultry and birds
40．In some cultures, leprosy is ________.
A．a bacterial disease
B．a punishment of unhealthy life
C．a result of undevelopment
D．a wicked sign
41．From the passage we can infer ________.
A．leprosy can't be controlled once infected
B．leprosy spreads very fast and widely
C．leprosy often caused by the habit of being unclean
D．The World Health Organization has much attention to this disease
D
Reproductive cloning is expensive and highly inefficient. More than 90% of cloning attempts fail to produce practicable young. More than 100 nuclear transfer procedures could be required to produce one practicable clone. In addition to low success rates, cloned animals tend to have more compromised immune(免疫的) fun_ction and higher rates of infection, tumor growth, and other disorders.
Japanese studies have shown that cloned mice live in poor health and die early. About a third of the cloned calves born alive have died young, and many of them were abnormally large. Many cloned animals have not lived long enough to generate good data about how clones age. Appearing healthy at a young age unfortunately is not a good indicator of long-term survival. Clones have been known to die mysteriously. For example, Australia's first cloned sheep appeared healthy and energetic on the day she died, and the results from her autopsy(验尸) failed to determine a cause of death.
In 2002, researchers at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts, reported that the genomes(基因组) of cloned mice are compromised. In analyzing more than 10,000 liver and placenta(胎盘) cells of cloned mice, they discovered that about 4% of genes fun_ction abnormally. The abnormalities do not arise from mutations(转变) in the genes but from changes in the normal activation or expression of certain genes.
Problems also may result from programming errors in the genetic material from a donor(捐献者) cell. When an embryo(胚胎) is created from the union of a sperm and an egg, the embryo(晶胚) receives copies of most genes from both parents. A process called “imprinting” chemically marks the DNA from the mother and father so that only one copy of a gene (either the maternal or paternal gene) is turned on. Defects in the genetic imprint of DNA from a single donor cell may lead to some of the developmental abnormalities of cloned embryos.
42．Which of the following is the advantage of reproductive cloning?
A．expensive cost B．inefficient result
C．low success rates D．medical research
43．Many cloned animals________.
A．lived not long enough
B．were born unhealthy
C．died of a certain desease
D．provided data for research
44．The reason why the cloned animals are unhealthy is probably caused by the ________.
A．unhealthy organs B．donor's unhealthy cell
C．incomplete change D．abnormal genes
45．From the last paragraph we can infer ________.
A．a person's genes can't change
B．cloning can cause genes' development abnormally
C．cloning people may have many risks
D．cloning people is a good way for health

Cancer sufferers could be treated with immune cells(免疫细胞)from donors resistant to the disease.US scientists say they have been given the permission by the authorities to test experimental treatment on humans.
Zheng Cui and his colleagues at Wake Forest University of Medicine in Winston-Salem，North Carolina，have received permission from the Food and Drug Administration to screen people for their ability to avoid cancer.
Immune cells from the best cancer fighters will be given to cancer patients，after being matched for the blood type，the scientists said.
The scientists have discovered that a much larger population of immune cells called granulocytes(粒性白细胞)can also kill cancer and they have shown that immune cells from some people may effectively fight cancer in others.
The researchers took blood samples from more than 100 people and mixed their granulocytes with cervical cancer cells.Granulocytes from one person killed around 97 percent of cancer cells within 24 hours.However，only around 2 percent of cancer cells were killed by those from another healthy individual.
Last year，however，the scientists successfully treated a range of different cancers in mice by injecting them with granulocytes from a group of mice that are completely resistant to cancer.
“Our pre-clinical tests have been successful.If this is half as effective in humans as it is in mice it could be that half of patients could be cured or at least given one to two years extra of high-quality life，”Cui was quoted as saying.
Everyone has some ability to fight cancer through immune cells called NK cells，which can identify and kill tumors(肿瘤)—although the extent of theses cells' influence is not known.Cells' ability to kill cancer appeared to be lower in blood samples taken from people over the age of 50 and even lower in people with cancer.It also fell when people were under stress and during winter，according to the scientists.
46．What do we know from the passage?
A．Granulocytes from one person may be used to fight cancer in others.
B．Immune cells from people resistant to cancer can be given to any cancer patients.
C．A lot of cancer sufferers have been successfully cured with the help of immune cells.
D．As long as cancer patients have the same blood type with cancer fighters，they can be cured.
47．In order to treat cancer sufferers，scientists should get immune cells from ________.
A．healthy mice
B．patients who just get cancer
C．healthy people
D．the best cancer fighters
48．What does the underlined word“those”in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A．Blood samples. B．Granulocytes.
C．Individuals. D．Cancer cells.
49．What do we know from Cui's words in Paragraph 7?
A．The tests to people have been proved successful.
B．The new way can only cure half of human patients.
C．The finding may be very useful in treating cancer.
D．Not everybody can fight cancer through NK cells.
50．In which column of a magazine can you most probably find this passage?
A．Science. B．Nature.
C．Life. D．History.

(2013·四川高考)A nurse of 78 this weekend celebrates 60 years of walking the wards—and she has no plans to retire.
Jackie Reid was 18 when she started work in 1953—when the National Health Service (NHS) was just five years old—and is believed to be the oldest nurse in Britain.
The diabetes(糖尿病) specialist had to retire at 65 but returned as a nurse within two weeks and still does up to four seven-and-a-half hour shifts(轮班) each week.
Mrs Reid said：“Nursing is hard if you do it correctly but I love my job. Working for the NHS has been my life. I have no other hobbies because I have worked all my life.”
Jackie has worked at a number of different hospitals including one in Scotland.
Her specialist field has been diabetes for the past 40 years. She retrained after her 12-year-old daughter Michelle developed the disease. She currently works at Southend Hospital, Essex.
Over the last 60 years she has treated tens of thousands of patients.
Jackie believes nursing should be protected from government cuts. She said：“There're lots of things I would say to the government. If you are going to get good care you have to have the resources(资源), you can't do it without enough money. They shouldn't need the cuts that there are in the NHS. It's hard now because there's a shortage of staff.”
Jackie has lived alone in Grays, Essex, since her husband died three years ago.
The couple have two daughters Michelle, 50, and Karen,54.
Jackie added: “My youngest daughter worries about me—she doesn't think I should work as much as I do. I constantly say ‘don't worry about me, I'm fine’， but she never believes me. I don't like the thought of giving it up and will try to keep going forever.”

I went to City Wildlife Park with my classmates by bus yesterday. We arrived there at 8：00. When I got out of a bus, some of us had rushed into the gate of the park. First, we paid a visit the golden monkeys. They were lovely and cutely. They jumped from one tree to another which was about two meters away. That was amazed, wasn't it? But then we watched an animal show. They dance like humans. They could do everything we asked them to do it. After that we visited the safari park. All kinds animals could be seen there, such as tigers, lions, deers and goats. I love lions best, because they are the king of the forest and they are powerful. I wish I can be strong just like them!

Happiness is contagious,_researchers reported on Thursday.
People with the most social connections—spouses, friends, neighbors and relatives—were also the happiest, the data showed. “Each additional happy person makes you happier，” Christakis said.
“Imagine that I am connected to you and you are connected to others and others are connected to still others. It is this fabric of humanity, like an American patch quilt.”
Each person sits on a different colored patch. “Imagine that these patches are happy and unhappy patches. Your happiness depends on what is going on in the patch around you，” Christakis said.
“It is not just happy people connecting with happy people, which they do. Above and beyond, there is this contagious process going on.”
And happiness is more contagious than unhappiness, they discovered.
“If a social contact is happy, it increases the likelihood that you are happy by 15 percent，” Fowler said. “A friend of a friend, or the friend of a spouse or a sibling (兄弟姐妹), if they are happy, increases your chances by 10 percent，” he added.
A happy third degree friend—the friend of a friend—increases a person's chances of being happy by 6 percent.
“But every extra unhappy friend increases the likelihood that you'll be unhappy by 7 percent，” Fowler said.
“The finding is interesting and it is useful, too，” Fowler said.
“Among other benefits, happiness has been shown to have an important effect on reduced mortality (死亡率), pain reduction, and improved cardiac (心脏的) fun_ction. So better understanding of how happiness spreads can help us learn how to promote a healthier society，” he said.
The study also fits in with other data suggested in 1984 that having $ 5,000 extra increased a person's chances of becoming happier by about 2 percent.
“A happy friend is worth about $ 20,000，” Christakis said.
1．According to the research, your happiness ________.
A．has nothing to do with your workmates or schoolmates
B．has something to do with anyone who has a close relationship with you
C．depends on those who are in favour of you or are against you
D．has little to do with what social connections you have
2．The underlined word “contagious” in the first paragraph means ________.
A．infectious B．beautiful
C．effective D．prior
3．It can be inferred that________.
A．happiness spreads as fast and widely as unhappiness
B．unhappiness spreads faster and more widely than happiness
C．happiness spreads faster and more widely than unhappiness
D．the spread of unhappiness has not been studied by researchers
4．Which of the following will increase your chances of becoming happier most?
A．Being in a party with a happy atmosphere.
B．A happy experience of your brother or your parents.
C．A happy trip to a foreign country of your friends.
D．Happiness of your friend's friend.
5．What does Christakis mean by saying “A happy friend is worth about $ 20,000” ?
A．A happy friend can help you bring in a wealth of $20,000.
B．A happy friend is a wealth which is worth about $20,000.
C．A happy friend increases your chances of being happy by 2%.
D．A happy friend increases your chances of being happy by 8%.

“I've never met a human worth cloning，” says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from the cramped confines of his lab at Texas A&M University. “It's a stupid endeavor.” That's an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13-year-old dog named Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned two calves and expect to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missy later this year—or perhaps not for another five years. It seems the reproductive system of man's best friend is one of the mysteries of modern science.
Westhusin's experience with cloning animals leaves him vexed by all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Missyplicity project, using hundreds upon hundreds of canine eggs, the A&M team has produced only a dozen or so embryos carrying Missy's DNA. None have survived the transfer to a surrogate mother. The wastage of eggs and the many spontaneously aborted fetuses may be acceptable when you're dealing with cats or bulls, he argues, but not with humans. “Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous，” he says.
Even so, dog cloning is a commercial opportunity, with a nice research payoff. Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997, Westhusin's phone at A&M College of Veterinary Medicine has been ringing busily. Cost is no obstacle for customers like Missy's mysterious owner, who wishes to remain unknown to protect his privacy. He's plopped down $3.7 million so far to fund the research because he wants a twin to carry on Missy's fine qualities after she dies. But he knows her clone may not have her temperament. In a statement of purpose, Missy's owner and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward to studying the ways that her clone differs from Missy.”
The fate of the dog samples will depend on Westhusin's work. He knows that even if he gets a dog viably pregnant, the offspring, should they survive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart and weight problems. “Why would you ever want to clone humans，” Westhusin asks, “when we're not even close to getting it worked out in animals yet？”
1．Mr. Westhusin thinks cloning is dangerous because________.
A．animals are tortured to death in the experiments
B．the public has expressed strong disapproval
C．too many lives are wasted for laboratory use
D．cloning becomes a quest only for profit
2．What is the problem confronting the Missyplicity project?

B．scientists are pessimistic about human cloning
C．human reproductive system has not been understood
D．rich people are only interested in cloning animals

Clothes can make phone calls, play music, dial your pal's number, keep you warm during cold weather and operate your computer.
This is not a fantasy. A British company, called Electrotextiles, has created a wide range of clothes—clothes that have minds of their own! Scientists, working for the company, have invented a kind of fabric that can be blended(混合)with flexible electronic materials to create intelligent clothing. The results are electronic garments.
If you think the wearer has to be wired to different devices, think again. These designed clothes are wire-free, soft to touch and washable! Like any electronic device, these high-tech clothes have to be powered. Currently, a tiny nine-volt battery serves the purpose. But the researchers hope that in the near future the clothes will generate electricity by using body heat. These clothes are 100% shockproof, they say.
The Electrotextiles team has also created the world's first cloth keyboard. This keyboard can be sewn into your trousers or skirt. To use this device, you will have to sit down and tap on your lap! These “lap-tap” gadgets(器具)are all set to take over laptop computers!
Another useful garment is the shirt-cum-mobile phone. This_handy_invention enables drivers to chat comfortably with others at the wheel! Other popular electronic wear include the denim(牛仔布)jacket with flexible earphones sewn into the hood(风帽)and the electronic ski jacket with a built-in heater. The ski jacket is also programmed to send signals to a satellite. This technology is known as global positioning system and can be used to track lost skiers and wandering kids.
Having completed the cloth keyboard, scientists have already started to work on a new project—a necktie that can be used as a computer mouse. What is the next? Do you have any idea?
6．The electronic garments are similar to other electronic devices in that________.
A．they feel smooth and soft
B．they use electricity as power
C．they can be washed in water
D．they are made from flexible materials
7．How will researchers improve these high-tech clothes?
A．Body heat will be used as power.
B．The wearer will not get shocked.
C．A tiny nine-volt battery will work.
D．They will get charged automatically.
8．What does the underlined phrase “This handy invention” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A．The laptop computer.
B．The electronic ski jacket.
C．The shirt-cum-mobile phone.
D．The world's first cloth keyboard.
9．If you are going on a ski adventure, which device do you need?
A．The cloth keyboard.
B．The electronic ski jacket.
C．The necktie to be used as a mouse.
D．The denim jacket with earphones.
10．The main purpose of the text is________.
A．to advertise for an English company
B．to predict the future trend of science
C．to show how rapidly science develops
D．to introduce some intelligent clothing
