B
With the drugs（药品） that she created, Gertrude Elion achieved her life’s mission; to relieve human suffering. Beyond the individual drugs she discovered, she pioneered a new, more scientific approach to drug development that forever changed medical research.
When she was 15, Elion’s grandfather died from cancer painfully. The experience decided her career path. At age 19, with a degree in chemistry, she looked for work. She took jobs as a secretary, a chemistry teacher, and an unpaid worker in a lab. Finally, in 1944, Elion found the job of her dreams, assisting George Hitchings at Burroughs Wellcome, a drug company.
Hitchings and Elion gave up the traditional trial-and-error approach to drug development, in favour of a scientific approach. Starting from the understanding that all cells（细胞） require nucleic acid（核酸） to reproduce, they reasoned that rapidly growing bacteria require even more to keep the pace of growth. Find a way to disrupt（扰乱） their life cycle, and you find a way to stop disease.
Elion’s first major discovery was a substance that disrupts the formation of leukaemia（白血病） cells. But the effect failed to last long. Elion determined to find a way to make the effects of her drug last longer.
Elion’s final major breakthrough was in the development of the drug Acyclovir. Scientists doubted that drugs could be invented to fight viruses（病毒）; any substance that would kill a virus would be poisonous to the body. However, through tireless efforts, the drug Elion’s team developed could be used to fight many diseases. Elion’s name appears on 45 patents for life-saving and life-changing drugs.
Though her individual discoveries were significant, when Elion received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1988, it wasn’t for one particular drug — it was for a new, more reasonable approach to drug development. As a result, although she died in 1999 at the age of 81, Gertrude Elion is still saving lives.
24．What inspired Elion to go into medical research
A．Her grandfather’s death. B．Her teaching experience.
C．A drug company’s influence. D．George Hitchings’ encouragement.
25．What was the key to stopping disease according to Elion
A．Preventing the formation of bacteria. B．Removing tissues attacked by bacteria.
C．Quickening the speed of growth of all cells. D．Finding a poisonous substance to kill viruses.
26．What did other scientists think of the drug Acyclovir at first
A．It should be put into use immediately. B．It might be harmful to human bodies.
C．It could only have short-term effects. D．It could be used to fight many diseases.
27．Why did Elion win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine
A．She obtained 45 patents.
B．She discovered a life-saving drug.
C．She pioneered a new way of developing drugs.
D．She adopted a trial-and-error approach in medical research.
C
An American company has developed a new technique to make bread stay fresh for 60 days.
Scientists found that a kind of mould（霉菌） caused bread to go bad. The new technique kills the mould and keeps the food for longer time. This means there will be less waste of food in the world in future.
Food waste is a big problem in most developed countries. In the US, an average family throws away 40% of the food they buy, which adds up to $165 billion every year, about 330 million ton in weight. Bread takes a larger part. In the UK,32% of the bread they buy is thrown away as waste when they can still be eaten.
The bread usually goes mouldy（发霉的） in around 10 days, but the American company says the new technique will keep the bread free from mould for two months.
“We treated a piece of bread in a special machine. At 60 days it had the same amount of mould as it was first made,” says Mr. Stull, the leader of the company.
Although there are a lot of bread makers interested in the new technique, few customers like the idea. They say they don’t think a piece of bread which lasts for 60 days tastes good.
“We’ll have to make our customers accept the idea. But it will take some time,” says Mr. Stull.
28．What is the key point of the new technique
A．It makes bread taste good.
B．It keeps the same amount of mould.
C．It can prevent the world from wasting food.
D．It kills the mould and keeps bread fresh for longer time.
29．How much of the bread is wasted in the UK
A．Nearly half. B．A quarter. C．More than half. D．About one-third.
30．What can we know from the passage
A．We will buy bread that can last longer.
B．Poor countries are in great need of food.
C．Few customers have interest in the technique.
D．Food waste can be reduced immediately with the new technique.
31．What is mainly talked about in the passage
A．There is great waste of food in developed countries.
B．There is a kind of mould that causes food to go bad.
C．Customers don’t like food that lasts for two months.
D．A new technique has been invented to keep bread fresh longer.

Research has shown that people tend to get more happiness from spending their money on experiences, such as travel and entertainment （娱乐）, than on things like clothes and electronic products. But are people happier during the purchased （购买的） experience itself Or does the happiness come more from expecting or remembering the experience
A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, offers an answer. Our experimental purchases not only bring us greater pleasure in terms of expectation and remembrance than our material（物质的） purchases do, but they also bring us greater in-the-moment enjoyment, the study found.
For the study, the researchers recruited （招募） 2,635 adults who agreed to receive texts at any time during the day. The texts began with a happiness question, which asked the participants（参与者） to tell how they felt “right now”, ranging from very bad to very good. Half of them were then asked if they had made a material purchase within the past hour, such as clothing or electronic goods. The others were asked if they had made an experimental purchase within the past hour, such as eating in a restaurant or attending a concert.
The researchers found that the purchasers of the experiences express higher levels of happiness than the purchasers of the material goods, no matter how much the purchases cost.
To deal with possible differences in types of purchasers, the researchers carried out a second study in which they researched more than 5,000 adults. “We still found the same result,” said Amit Kumar, the study’s lead author（发起人）.
“If you want to be happier, it might be wise to shift some of your spending away from material goods and a bit more towards experiences,” Kumar said. “That would probably lead to greater happiness.”
32．Why does the writer put forward two questions in paragraph 1
A．To make a fact clear. B．To introduce a new study.
C．To compare different researches. D．To doubt the view of researchers.
33．What did the researchers text the participants for
A．To ask them about their spending plans.
B．To understand their needs and spending habits.
C．To know the change in their purchasing choices.
D．. To find out their purchasing behavior and feelings.
34．Which has the similar meaning to the underlined word “shift” in the last paragraph
A．satisfy. B．apply. C．change. D．increase.
35．What does the new study find about people’s purchases
A．People prefer to purchase materaf goods instead of experiences.
B．People get more pleasure from spending money than making money.
C．The level of happiness from purchases depends on how much they cost.
D．Experimental purchases bring people greater happiness than material ones.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I made it all the way to fifth grade before anyone（besides me） noticed that I couldn’t see three meters in front of me. Our school had vision screenings（检查） every year, but somehow, I had managed to pretend good vision and pass the tests.
But then in the fifth grade, I got caught. It was my turn to go into the screening room, and I nervously took my seat in front of the testing machine. The nurse told me to look into the little black machine and tell her which direction the letter E’s legs were pointing. I could barely see the black shape of the letter E, so I made a guess: “Right, left, left, up, down, up, left, right.” I looked at the nurse.
She narrowed her eyes and studied my face for a moment. Then she said, “Could you repeat that ”
I panicked. I’d never been asked to repeat it. And I hadn’t memorized the guess I’d just made up. I was trapped. So, I peered（费力地看） into the machine again and made up another series of guesses. I glanced over at the nurse, who was leaning forward with a concerned expression on her face.
“You have no idea which way they’re facing, do you ” she asked.
“Not really,” I confessed（坦白）.
“Can you even see the E at all ” she asked. “Sort of…… no,” I admitted.
“Then why didn’t you just say so ” she demanded.
I didn’t respond. I thought the answer was obvious. Glasses in the fifth grade were a social death sentence. I assumed she knew this, but apparently it had been a very long time since she had been ten years old.
So, she sent me home with a note for my mother that said I needed to visit the eye doctor because I’d failed the vision test. The trip home that day was very slow.
My mother（who wears glasses） said it would all be just fine. It wouldn’t hurt a bit, she said. But I wasn’t worried about pain—I was worried about looking like Super Geek（怪人）.
The next day, my mother dragged me to the eye doctor’s office. I picked out a set of frames and tried to believe my mother when she said they looked really good on me. The doctor said the glasses would be ready soon. But I wasn’t ready, and I didn’t think I ever would be. When the glasses arrived, the eye doctor put them on my face and walked me out onto the sidewalk in front of his office.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I made it all the way to fifth grade before anyone（besides me） noticed that I couldn’t see three meters in front of me. Our school had vision screenings（检查） every year, but somehow, I had managed to pretend good vision and pass the tests.
But then in the fifth grade, I got caught. It was my turn to go into the screening room, and I nervously took my seat in front of the testing machine. The nurse told me to look into the little black machine and tell her which direction the letter E’s legs were pointing. I could barely see the black shape of the letter E, so I made a guess: “Right, left, left, up, down, up, left, right.” I looked at the nurse.
She narrowed her eyes and studied my face for a moment. Then she said, “Could you repeat that ”
I panicked. I’d never been asked to repeat it. And I hadn’t memorized the guess I’d just made up. I was trapped. So, I peered（费力地看） into the machine again and made up another series of guesses. I glanced over at the nurse, who was leaning forward with a concerned expression on her face.
“You have no idea which way they’re facing, do you ” she asked.
“Not really,” I confessed（坦白）.
“Can you even see the E at all ” she asked. “Sort of…… no,” I admitted.
“Then why didn’t you just say so ” she demanded.
I didn’t respond. I thought the answer was obvious. Glasses in the fifth grade were a social death sentence. I assumed she knew this, but apparently it had been a very long time since she had been ten years old.
So, she sent me home with a note for my mother that said I needed to visit the eye doctor because I’d failed the vision test. The trip home that day was very slow.
My mother（who wears glasses） said it would all be just fine. It wouldn’t hurt a bit, she said. But I wasn’t worried about pain—I was worried about looking like Super Geek（怪人）.
The next day, my mother dragged me to the eye doctor’s office. I picked out a set of frames and tried to believe my mother when she said they looked really good on me. The doctor said the glasses would be ready soon. But I wasn’t ready, and I didn’t think I ever would be. When the glasses arrived, the eye doctor put them on my face and walked me out onto the sidewalk in front of his office.
