23-year-old Rachna Kumari is a soft-spoken young woman selling unique wheat stalk paintings (麦秆画) handmade by herself. Every morning, even before her mother awakens, she finishes cooking and cleaning before cycling 5km to run her shop alone. Over the past year, she has sold about 200 of her paintings, 50 of which were bought since she opened her shop in April this year.
However, back in 2019, Rachna had almost given up on life after having to leave school due to family’s financial problems. She became depressed, thinking she would have to spend the rest of her days doing household chores.
Around this time, the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) came into the picture with Project Lehar, started to provide vocational training, entrepreneurship (创业), and life skills courses to young women. Project Lehar, run by AKF in partnership with The King’s Trust International, enables girls and young women from disadvantaged backgrounds to rediscover and realise their potential. This was a good opportunity for Rachna to not just continue her studies but also to convince her parents to drop her marriage plans.
After she was admitted into college through Project Lehar, she was also given some suggestions on entrepreneurial and career prospects. One such session on wheat stalk painting made her fall in love with this traditional art form of Bahraich and her creativity was brought out.
Now she is economically independent by selling wheat stalk paintings. However Rachna is not resting on her achievements. Her shop also doubles up as a training centre where other girls from disadvantaged backgrounds like her who want to stand on their feet get a second chance to change their lives like she did.
While teaching these enthusiastic young girls is a joyful experience, what gives Rachna more pride is being chosen as a wheat stalk painting trainer by the foundation. From being a trainee under this project to now becoming its paid trainer, Rachna’s life has come full circle.
4. What once left Rachna in low spirits
A. Losing her favorite job. B. Dropping out of school.

C. She was sponsored to open her own shop. D. She got the chance to continue her studies.
6. Which words can be used to describe Rachna
A. Talented and modest. B. Outgoing and successful.
C. Wealthy and independent. D. Hard-working and creative.
7. What brings Rachna more sense of achievement
A. Becoming a first-rate woman artist. B. Giving financial help to disadvantaged girls.
C. Being selected as a wheat stalk painting trainer. D. Setting up the famous Project Lehar independently.

Donna Strickland is a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Professor Strickland is one of the recipients (接受者) of the Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 with Gérard Mourou, her PhD teacher at the time. They published this Nobel-winning research in 1985 when Strickland was a PhD student at the University of Rochester in New York state. Together they paved the way toward the most intense laser pulses ever created.
Professor Donna Strickland is only the third woman ever to have won the Nobel Prize in Physics. She and her fellow winners were honored for what the Nobel Committee called groundbreaking inventions in laser physics. Professor Strickland found a way to use lasers as very precise drilling or cutting tools. Millions of eye operations are performed every year with these sharpest laser beams.
"How surprising do you think it is that you're the third woman to win this prize "
"Well, that is surprising, isn't it I think that's the story of Maria that people want to talk about — that why should it take 60 years There are so many women out there doing fantastic research, so why does it take so long to get recognized "
Physics still has one of the largest gender (性别) gaps in science. One recent study concluded that at the current rate it would be more than two centuries until there were equal numbers of senior male and female researchers in the field.
The last woman to win the Nobel Prize in Physics was German-born Maria Goeppert Mayer for her discoveries about the nuclei of atoms. Before that it was Marie Curie, who shared the 1903 prize with her husband, Pierre. This year's winners hope that breaking this half century hiatus (间断) will mean the focus in the future will be on the research, rather than the gender of the researcher.
8. Which of the following best explains the underlined word "groundbreaking" in Paragraph 2
A. Active. B. Amazing.
C. Creative. D. Interesting.
9. What do we know about Professor Strickland's achievement
A. She created the most intense laser pulses by herself.
B. She supported equality between man and women.
C. She discovered the nuclei of atoms with her husband.
D. She invented a way of using lasers as cutting tools.
10. When did the second woman winning the Nobel Prize in Physics win the honor
A. In 1903. B. In 1958.
C. In 1963. D. In 1985.
11. What can be inferred from the statements in Paragraph 4
A. Women's achievements in physics are as great as men's.
B. Women's achievements in physics are more and more fantastic.
C. Maria's discoveries resulted from her long time research.
D. Gender inequality still exists in the field of science research.
D
Scientists have successfully implanted and integrated human brain cells into newborn rats, creating a new way to study complex psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia (精神分裂症), and perhaps eventually test treatments.
Scientists can assemble small sections of human brain tissue made from stem cells in a special container. But in such a container, “neurons(神经元) don’t grow to the size, to which a human neuron in an actual human brain would grow,” said Sergiu Pasca, the study’s lead author from Stanford University. To overcome such restrictions, researchers implanted the groupings of human brain cells, called organoids, into the brains of young rats.
Human neurons have also been implanted into adult rats before, but an animal’s brain stops developing at a certain age, limiting how well implanted cells can integrate. “By transplanting them at these early stages, we found that these organoids can grow relatively large and receive nutrients, and they can cover about a third of a rat’s brain,” said Pasca.
To test how well the human neurons integrated with the rat brains and bodies, air was blown out across the animals’ whiskers, which prompted electrical activity in the human neurons. That showed that external stimulation of the rat’s body was processed by the human brain tissue.
The scientists then conducted another test in the opposite order. They implanted human brain cells which could respond to blue light, and then trained the rats to expect a “reward” of water from a pipe when blue light shone on the neurons via a cable in the animals’ brain. After two weeks, they found pulsing the blue light sent the rats scrambling to the pipe.
The team has now used the technique to show that organoids developed from patients with Timothy syndrome grow more slowly and display less electrical activity than those from healthy people.
Tara Spires-Jones, a professor at the University of Edinburgh’s UK Dementia Research Institute, said the work “has the potential to advance what we know about psychiatric disorders.”
12. Why did scientists research on rats instead of the special container
A. Because psychiatric disorders are too complex.
B. Because rats also suffer similar psychiatric illnesses.
C Because it limits the growth of human brain neurons.
D. Because human brain neurons grow too quickly in it.
13. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3
A. Rats’age has a significant influence on the research.
B. Human brain cells can’t be implanted into adult rats.
C. Rats’ brain won’t develop if they receive human neurons.
D. Human neurons can grow larger in adult rats’ brain than young rats’.
14. Why did the researchers carry out one more test
A. To train rats to respond to external stimulations.
B. To show similarities between rats and human tissues.
C. To confirm human brain cells could grow well in rats’ brains.
D. To check whether signals could be sent back to rats’ body.
15. What is the significance of the research
A. It can advance more experiments on rats.
B. It can further our study of psychiatric illnesses.
C. It can provide some useful experimental methods.
D. It can promote our knowledge of human brain cells.

An Angel on a Snowy Night
The wind was blowing hard as I was driving down the twists and turns of the country road. I was desperate to get home before dark, but there seemed no way. The forecast said there was going to be a heavy snow on the way. It was freezing cold outside. The wind was blowing against the windows, letting out buzzing noises. Hair standing on end, I stepped hard on the accelerator, longing to make it to my cozy home earlier.
The car was roaring along the rough road when I suddenly heard a big bang coming from behind. The car somehow slowed down, and I managed to pull it over to the side of the road. I was in a cold sweat from extreme terror, wondering what had just happened. Dragging myself out of the driver’s seat, I shivered with cold. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind cleared my head. Quickly I examined the car. Much to my surprise, no serious damage was done. It was just a flat tire, but the car couldn’t move forward an inch!
It was black dark outside. There was not a single soul around to turn to. A wave of fear instantly washed over me. Worse still, it began to snow at the very moment. Snowflakes were dancing in the air at the mercy of howling wind. How I wished someone could come to my rescue just in time! With nowhere to hide, I had to wait in the darkness, cold and helpless.
I waited and waited, but no car or truck passed by. Swallowed by complete darkness, I almost went mad. “What if no one comes What should I do ”, I mumbled. At this point, I was totally seized by anxiety and fear. My patience was running out when loud noises boomed out from the dark night. There came a Ford pickup, with dazzling light cast over the white snow. I sprang to my feet, waving my arms crazily.

Around this time, the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) came into the picture with Project Lehar, started to provide vocational training, entrepreneurship (创业), and life skills courses to young women. Project Lehar, run by AKF in partnership with The King’s Trust International, enables girls and young women from disadvantaged backgrounds to rediscover and realise their potential. This was a good opportunity for Rachna to not just continue her studies but also to convince her parents to drop her marriage plans.
After she was admitted into college through Project Lehar, she was also given some suggestions on entrepreneurial and career prospects. One such session on wheat stalk painting made her fall in love with this traditional art form of Bahraich and her creativity was brought out.
Now she is economically independent by selling wheat stalk paintings. However, Rachna is not resting on her achievements. Her shop also doubles up as a training centre where other girls from disadvantaged backgrounds like her who want to stand on their feet get a second chance to change their lives like she did.
While teaching these enthusiastic young girls is a joyful experience, what gives Rachna more pride is being chosen as a wheat stalk painting trainer by the foundation. From being a trainee under this project to now becoming its paid trainer, Rachna’s life has come full circle.
4. What once left Rachna in low spirits
A. Losing her favorite job. B. Dropping out of school.
C. Riding to her shop alone. D. Doing household chores.
5. How did Rachna benefit from Project Lehar
A. She received some donations from it. B. She had a new attitude toward marriage.
C. She was sponsored to open her own shop. D. She got the chance to continue her studies.
6. Which words can be used to describe Rachna
A. Talented and modest. B. Outgoing and successful.
C. Wealthy and independent. D. Hard-working and creative.
7. What brings Rachna more sense of achievement
A. Becoming a first-rate woman artist. B. Giving financial help to disadvantaged girls.
C. Being selected as a wheat stalk painting trainer. D. Setting up the famous Project Lehar independently.

Donna Strickland is a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Professor Strickland is one of the recipients (接受者) of the Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 with Gérard Mourou, her PhD teacher at the time. They published this Nobel-winning research in 1985 when Strickland was a PhD student at the University of Rochester in New York state. Together they paved the way toward the most intense laser pulses ever created.
Professor Donna Strickland is only the third woman ever to have won the Nobel Prize in Physics. She and her fellow winners were honored for what the Nobel Committee called groundbreaking inventions in laser physics. Professor Strickland found a way to use lasers as very precise drilling or cutting tools. Millions of eye operations are performed every year with these sharpest laser beams.
"How surprising do you think it is that you're the third woman to win this prize "
"Well, that is surprising, isn't it I think that's the story of Maria that people want to talk about — that why should it take 60 years There are so many women out there doing fantastic research, so why does it take so long to get recognized "
Physics still has one of the largest gender (性别) gaps in science. One recent study concluded that at the current rate it would be more than two centuries until there were equal numbers of senior male and female researchers in the field.
The last woman to win the Nobel Prize in Physics was German-born Maria Goeppert Mayer for her discoveries about the nuclei of atoms. Before that it was Marie Curie, who shared the 1903 prize with her husband, Pierre. This year's winners hope that breaking this half century hiatus (间断) will mean the focus in the future will be on the research, rather than the gender of the researcher.
8. Which of the following best explains the underlined word "groundbreaking" in Paragraph 2
A. Active. B. Amazing.
C. Creative. D. Interesting.
9. What do we know about Professor Strickland's achievement
A. She created the most intense laser pulses by herself.
B. She supported equality between man and women.
C. She discovered the nuclei of atoms with her husband.
D. She invented a way of using lasers as cutting tools.
10. When did the second woman winning the Nobel Prize in Physics win the honor
A. In 1903. B. In 1958.
C. In 1963. D. In 1985.
11. What can be inferred from the statements in Paragraph 4
A. Women's achievements in physics are as great as men's.
B. Women's achievements in physics are more and more fantastic.
C. Maria's discoveries resulted from her long time research.
D. Gender inequality still exists in the field of science research.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. D
D
Scientists have successfully implanted and integrated human brain cells into newborn rats, creating a new way to study complex psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia (精神分裂症), and perhaps eventually test treatments.
Scientists can assemble small sections of human brain tissue made from stem cells in a special container. But in such a container, “neurons(神经元) don’t grow to the size, to which a human neuron in an actual human brain would grow,” said Sergiu Pasca, the study’s lead author from Stanford University. To overcome such restrictions, researchers implanted the groupings of human brain cells, called organoids, into the brains of young rats.
Human neurons have also been implanted into adult rats before, but an animal’s brain stops developing at a certain age, limiting how well implanted cells can integrate. “By transplanting them at these early stages, we found that these organoids can grow relatively large and receive nutrients, and they can cover about a third of a rat’s brain,” said Pasca.
To test how well the human neurons integrated with the rat brains and bodies, air was blown out across the animals’ whiskers, which prompted electrical activity in the human neurons. That showed that external stimulation of the rat’s body was processed by the human brain tissue.
The scientists then conducted another test in the opposite order. They implanted human brain cells which could respond to blue light, and then trained the rats to expect a “reward” of water from a pipe when blue light shone on the neurons via a cable in the animals’ brain. After two weeks, they found pulsing the blue light sent the rats scrambling to the pipe.
The team has now used the technique to show that organoids developed from patients with Timothy syndrome grow more slowly and display less electrical activity than those from healthy people.
Tara Spires-Jones, a professor at the University of Edinburgh’s UK Dementia Research Institute, said the work “has the potential to advance what we know about psychiatric disorders.”
12. Why did scientists research on rats instead of the special container
A. Because psychiatric disorders are too complex.
B. Because rats also suffer similar psychiatric illnesses.
C. Because it limits the growth of human brain neurons.
D. Because human brain neurons grow too quickly in it.
13. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3
A. Rats’age has a significant influence on the research.
B. Human brain cells can’t be implanted into adult rats.
C. Rats’ brain won’t develop if they receive human neurons.
D. Human neurons can grow larger in adult rats’ brain than young rats’.
14. Why did the researchers carry out one more test
A. To train rats to respond to external stimulations.
B. To show similarities between rats and human tissues.
C. To confirm human brain cells could grow well in rats’ brains.
D. To check whether signals could be sent back to rats’ body.
15. What is the significance of the research
A. It can advance more experiments on rats.
B It can further our study of psychiatric illnesses.
C. It can provide some useful experimental methods.
D. It can promote our knowledge of human brain cells.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B

An Angel on a Snowy Night
The wind was blowing hard as I was driving down the twists and turns of the country road. I was desperate to get home before dark, but there seemed no way. The forecast said there was going to be a heavy snow on the way. It was freezing cold outside. The wind was blowing against the windows, letting out buzzing noises. Hair standing on end, I stepped hard on the accelerator, longing to make it to my cozy home earlier.
The car was roaring along the rough road when I suddenly heard a big bang coming from behind. The car somehow slowed down, and I managed to pull it over to the side of the road. I was in a cold sweat from extreme terror, wondering what had just happened. Dragging myself out of the driver’s seat, I shivered with cold. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind cleared my head. Quickly I examined the car. Much to my surprise, no serious damage was done. It was just a flat tire, but the car couldn’t move forward an inch!
It was black dark outside. There was not a single soul around to turn to. A wave of fear instantly washed over me. Worse still, it began to snow at the very moment. Snowflakes were dancing in the air at the mercy of howling wind. How I wished someone could come to my rescue just in time! With nowhere to hide, I had to wait in the darkness, cold and helpless.
I waited and waited, but no car or truck passed by. Swallowed by complete darkness, I almost went mad. “What if no one comes What should I do ”, I mumbled. At this point, I was totally seized by anxiety and fear. My patience was running out when loud noises boomed out from the dark night. There came a Ford pickup, with dazzling light cast over the white snow. I sprang to my feet, waving my arms crazily.
注意：
1．续写词数应150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Para 1: The pickup finally stopped, and out stepped the driver.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2: The driver drew back and refused to take the money.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The pickup finally stopped, and out stepped the driver. “What’s up young man!” asked the driver. “I have a flat tire.” I responded. The driver then knelt on his knee and took a close look at the broken tire. “Nothing serious, I’ll help replace the tire.” Hearing his words, I breathed a sigh of relief. A surge of warmth soon flowed through my heart. The driver immediately pulled some tools out of the trunk and set to work. Just within minutes, the spare tire was installed in place. Deeply touched by the driver’s selfless help, I grabbed his arm, trying to cram some cash into his hand.
The driver drew back and refused to take the money. In no time, he stepped onto the pickup and soon disappeared into the dark night, leaving me greatly shocked. An accident turned out to be a blessing when a stranger approached me like an angel. Many years have passed, but the driver’s kind gesture still sticks in my head. It was his generous help that drove away cold, bringing me warmth on that snowy night. Even though I don’t know his name, his act of kindness makes a great difference to me, always inspiring me to reach out to those in need.

After two weeks, they found pulsing the blue light sent the rats scrambling to the pipe.
The team has now used the technique to show that organoids developed from patients with Timothy syndrome grow more slowly and display less electrical activity than those from healthy people.
Tara Spires-Jones, a professor at the University of Edinburgh’s UK Dementia Research Institute, said the work “has the potential to advance what we know about psychiatric disorders.”
12. Why did scientists research on rats instead of the special container
A. Because psychiatric disorders are too complex.
B. Because rats also suffer similar psychiatric illnesses.
C Because it limits the growth of human brain neurons.
D. Because human brain neurons grow too quickly in it.
13. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3
A. Rats’age has a significant influence on the research.
B. Human brain cells can’t be implanted into adult rats.
C. Rats’ brain won’t develop if they receive human neurons.
D. Human neurons can grow larger in adult rats’ brain than young rats’.
14. Why did the researchers carry out one more test
A. To train rats to respond to external stimulations.
B. To show similarities between rats and human tissues.
C. To confirm human brain cells could grow well in rats’ brains.
D. To check whether signals could be sent back to rats’ body.
15. What is the significance of the research
A. It can advance more experiments on rats.
B. It can further our study of psychiatric illnesses.
C. It can provide some useful experimental methods.

An Angel on a Snowy Night
The wind was blowing hard as I was driving down the twists and turns of the country road. I was desperate to get home before dark, but there seemed no way. The forecast said there was going to be a heavy snow on the way. It was freezing cold outside. The wind was blowing against the windows, letting out buzzing noises. Hair standing on end, I stepped hard on the accelerator, longing to make it to my cozy home earlier.
The car was roaring along the rough road when I suddenly heard a big bang coming from behind. The car somehow slowed down, and I managed to pull it over to the side of the road. I was in a cold sweat from extreme terror, wondering what had just happened. Dragging myself out of the driver’s seat, I shivered with cold. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind cleared my head. Quickly I examined the car. Much to my surprise, no serious damage was done. It was just a flat tire, but the car couldn’t move forward an inch!
It was black dark outside. There was not a single soul around to turn to. A wave of fear instantly washed over me. Worse still, it began to snow at the very moment. Snowflakes were dancing in the air at the mercy of howling wind. How I wished someone could come to my rescue just in time! With nowhere to hide, I had to wait in the darkness, cold and helpless.
I waited and waited, but no car or truck passed by. Swallowed by complete darkness, I almost went mad. “What if no one comes What should I do ”, I mumbled. At this point, I was totally seized by anxiety and fear. My patience was running out when loud noises boomed out from the dark night. There came a Ford pickup, with dazzling light cast over the white snow. I sprang to my feet, waving my arms crazily.

23-year-old Rachna Kumari is a soft-spoken young woman selling unique wheat stalk paintings (麦秆画) handmade by herself. Every morning, even before her mother awakens, she finishes cooking and cleaning before cycling 5km to run her shop alone. Over the past year, she has sold about 200 of her paintings, 50 of which were bought since she opened her shop in April this year.
However, back in 2019, Rachna had almost given up on life after having to leave school due to family’s financial problems. She became depressed, thinking she would have to spend the rest of her days doing household chores.
Around this time, the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) came into the picture with Project Lehar, started to provide vocational training, entrepreneurship (创业), and life skills courses to young women. Project Lehar, run by AKF in partnership with The King’s Trust International, enables girls and young women from disadvantaged backgrounds to rediscover and realise their potential. This was a good opportunity for Rachna to not just continue her studies but also to convince her parents to drop her marriage plans.
After she was admitted into college through Project Lehar, she was also given some suggestions on entrepreneurial and career prospects. One such session on wheat stalk painting made her fall in love with this traditional art form of Bahraich and her creativity was brought out.
Now she is economically independent by selling wheat stalk paintings. However, Rachna is not resting on her achievements. Her shop also doubles up as a training centre where other girls from disadvantaged backgrounds like her who want to stand on their feet get a second chance to change their lives like she did.
While teaching these enthusiastic young girls is a joyful experience, what gives Rachna more pride is being chosen as a wheat stalk painting trainer by the foundation. From being a trainee under this project to now becoming its paid trainer, Rachna’s life has come full circle.
4. What once left Rachna in low spirits
A. Losing her favorite job. B. Dropping out of school.
C. Riding to her shop alone. D. Doing household chores.
5. How did Rachna benefit from Project Lehar
A. She received some donations from it. B. She had a new attitude toward marriage.
C. She was sponsored to open her own shop. D. She got the chance to continue her studies.
6. Which words can be used to describe Rachna
A. Talented and modest. B. Outgoing and successful.
C. Wealthy and independent. D. Hard-working and creative.
7. What brings Rachna more sense of achievement
A. Becoming a first-rate woman artist. B. Giving financial help to disadvantaged girls.
C. Being selected as a wheat stalk painting trainer. D. Setting up the famous Project Lehar independently.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. C

Donna Strickland is a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Professor Strickland is one of the recipients (接受者) of the Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 with Gérard Mourou, her PhD teacher at the time. They published this Nobel-winning research in 1985 when Strickland was a PhD student at the University of Rochester in New York state. Together they paved the way toward the most intense laser pulses ever created.
Professor Donna Strickland is only the third woman ever to have won the Nobel Prize in Physics. She and her fellow winners were honored for what the Nobel Committee called groundbreaking inventions in laser physics. Professor Strickland found a way to use lasers as very precise drilling or cutting tools. Millions of eye operations are performed every year with these sharpest laser beams.
"How surprising do you think it is that you're the third woman to win this prize "
"Well, that is surprising, isn't it I think that's the story of Maria that people want to talk about — that why should it take 60 years There are so many women out there doing fantastic research, so why does it take so long to get recognized "
Physics still has one of the largest gender (性别) gaps in science. One recent study concluded that at the current rate it would be more than two centuries until there were equal numbers of senior male and female researchers in the field.
The last woman to win the Nobel Prize in Physics was German-born Maria Goeppert Mayer for her discoveries about the nuclei of atoms. Before that it was Marie Curie, who shared the 1903 prize with her husband, Pierre. This year's winners hope that breaking this half century hiatus (间断) will mean the focus in the future will be on the research, rather than the gender of the researcher.
8. Which of the following best explains the underlined word "groundbreaking" in Paragraph 2
A. Active. B. Amazing.
C. Creative. D. Interesting.
9. What do we know about Professor Strickland's achievement
A. She created the most intense laser pulses by herself.
B. She supported equality between man and women.
C. She discovered the nuclei of atoms with her husband.
D. She invented a way of using lasers as cutting tools.
10. When did the second woman winning the Nobel Prize in Physics win the honor
A. In 1903. B. In 1958.
C. In 1963. D. In 1985.
11. What can be inferred from the statements in Paragraph 4
A. Women's achievements in physics are as great as men's.
B. Women's achievements in physics are more and more fantastic.
C. Maria's discoveries resulted from her long time research.
D. Gender inequality still exists in the field of science research.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. D
D
Scientists have successfully implanted and integrated human brain cells into newborn rats, creating a new way to study complex psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia (精神分裂症), and perhaps eventually test treatments.
Scientists can assemble small sections of human brain tissue made from stem cells in a special container. But in such a container, “neurons(神经元) don’t grow to the size, to which a human neuron in an actual human brain would grow,” said Sergiu Pasca, the study’s lead author from Stanford University. To overcome such restrictions, researchers implanted the groupings of human brain cells, called organoids, into the brains of young rats.
Human neurons have also been implanted into adult rats before, but an animal’s brain stops developing at a certain age, limiting how well implanted cells can integrate. “By transplanting them at these early stages, we found that these organoids can grow relatively large and receive nutrients, and they can cover about a third of a rat’s brain,” said Pasca.
To test how well the human neurons integrated with the rat brains and bodies, air was blown out across the animals’ whiskers, which prompted electrical activity in the human neurons. That showed that external stimulation of the rat’s body was processed by the human brain tissue.
The scientists then conducted another test in the opposite order. They implanted human brain cells which could respond to blue light, and then trained the rats to expect a “reward” of water from a pipe when blue light shone on the neurons via a cable in the animals’ brain. After two weeks, they found pulsing the blue light sent the rats scrambling to the pipe.
The team has now used the technique to show that organoids developed from patients with Timothy syndrome grow more slowly and display less electrical activity than those from healthy people.
Tara Spires-Jones, a professor at the University of Edinburgh’s UK Dementia Research Institute, said the work “has the potential to advance what we know about psychiatric disorders.”
12. Why did scientists research on rats instead of the special container
A. Because psychiatric disorders are too complex.
B. Because rats also suffer similar psychiatric illnesses.
C. Because it limits the growth of human brain neurons.
D. Because human brain neurons grow too quickly in it.
13. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3
A. Rats’age has a significant influence on the research.
B. Human brain cells can’t be implanted into adult rats.
C. Rats’ brain won’t develop if they receive human neurons.
D. Human neurons can grow larger in adult rats’ brain than young rats’.
14. Why did the researchers carry out one more test
A. To train rats to respond to external stimulations.
B. To show similarities between rats and human tissues.
C. To confirm human brain cells could grow well in rats’ brains.
D. To check whether signals could be sent back to rats’ body.
15. What is the significance of the research
A. It can advance more experiments on rats.
B It can further our study of psychiatric illnesses.
C. It can provide some useful experimental methods.
D. It can promote our knowledge of human brain cells.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B

An Angel on a Snowy Night
The wind was blowing hard as I was driving down the twists and turns of the country road. I was desperate to get home before dark, but there seemed no way. The forecast said there was going to be a heavy snow on the way. It was freezing cold outside. The wind was blowing against the windows, letting out buzzing noises. Hair standing on end, I stepped hard on the accelerator, longing to make it to my cozy home earlier.
The car was roaring along the rough road when I suddenly heard a big bang coming from behind. The car somehow slowed down, and I managed to pull it over to the side of the road. I was in a cold sweat from extreme terror, wondering what had just happened. Dragging myself out of the driver’s seat, I shivered with cold. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind cleared my head. Quickly I examined the car. Much to my surprise, no serious damage was done. It was just a flat tire, but the car couldn’t move forward an inch!
It was black dark outside. There was not a single soul around to turn to. A wave of fear instantly washed over me. Worse still, it began to snow at the very moment. Snowflakes were dancing in the air at the mercy of howling wind. How I wished someone could come to my rescue just in time! With nowhere to hide, I had to wait in the darkness, cold and helpless.
I waited and waited, but no car or truck passed by. Swallowed by complete darkness, I almost went mad. “What if no one comes What should I do ”, I mumbled. At this point, I was totally seized by anxiety and fear. My patience was running out when loud noises boomed out from the dark night. There came a Ford pickup, with dazzling light cast over the white snow. I sprang to my feet, waving my arms crazily.

【答案】The pickup finally stopped, and out stepped the driver. “What’s up young man!” asked the driver. “I have a flat tire.” I responded. The driver then knelt on his knee and took a close look at the broken tire. “Nothing serious, I’ll help replace the tire.” Hearing his words, I breathed a sigh of relief. A surge of warmth soon flowed through my heart. The driver immediately pulled some tools out of the trunk and set to work. Just within minutes, the spare tire was installed in place. Deeply touched by the driver’s selfless help, I grabbed his arm, trying to cram some cash into his hand.
The driver drew back and refused to take the money. In no time, he stepped onto the pickup and soon disappeared into the dark night, leaving me greatly shocked. An accident turned out to be a blessing when a stranger approached me like an angel. Many years have passed, but the driver’s kind gesture still sticks in my head. It was his generous help that drove away cold, bringing me warmth on that snowy night. Even though I don’t know his name, his act of kindness makes a great difference to me, always inspiring me to reach out to those in need.
