17.Scientists in Argentina have created the world's first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce human-like milk.
Genetic engineering was used to introduce the"mothers'milk"genes into the animal before birth,according to the National Institute of Agribusiness Technology in Buenos Aires.
As an adult,the cloned cow"will produce milk that is  similar to that of humans",which will prove"a development of  great importance for the nutrition of infants(嬰兒)",said the  institute."The cloned cow,named Rosita ISA,is the first in the world with two human genes that contain the proteins present in human milk,"said the statement.
In April,scientists in China published details of research  showing that they had created dairy cows which produced milk containing proteins found in human breast milk.But the Argentine team said the Chinese only introduced one human gene,while their research involved two,meaning the milk will more_closely_resemble that of humans.
"Our goal was to raise the nutrition value of cows'milk by adding two human genes,which do good to the immune system of infants,"said Adrian Mutto,from the National University of San Martin which worked with the institute.
Cristina  Kirchner,President  of Argentina,said  the scientific institute made all Argentines proud.She also said that she had rejected the"honor"of having the cow named after her."They came to tell me that the name is Cristina,but what woman would like to have a cow named after her?It appeared to me to be more proper to call it Rosita."

25.What is the passage mainly about?C
A.The importance of genetic engineering.
B.Ways to improve mothers'milk.
C.A cloned cow to produce human-like milk.
D.Advanced agricultural technology in Argentina.
26.Which of the following can best replace"more closely resemble"in Paragraph 4?B
A.have more varieties than
B.be more similar to
C.have more nutrition than
D.be more different from
27.What can be inferred from Cristina Kirchner's statements?A

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually did. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.

The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品雜貨),saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.

I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.

People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性)as a whole. And it has influenced(影響)us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.

1.Why was the bike so important to the couple?

A. The man’s job was bike racing.

B. It was their only possession.

C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.

D. They used it for work and daily life.

2.We can infer from the text that ____________.

A. the couple worked 60 hours a week.

B. people were busy before Christmas

C. the stranger brought over the bike

D. life was hard for the young family.

3.What do the couple learn from their experience?

A. Strangers are usually of little help.

B. One should take care of their bike.

C. News reports make people famous.

D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.

4.Which one do you think is NOT TRUE according to the text?

A. The couple will never steal bikes in revenge.

B. The couple will try their best to help others in trouble.

C. Trevor bought a new Kona immediately after someone stole his old one.

D. The couple got some help from several people in their area.

On May 23, 1989, Stefania Follini came out from a cave at Carlsbad, New Mexico. She hadn’t seen the sun for eighteen and a half weeks. Stefania was in a research program, and the scientists in the program were studying body rhythms. In this experiment Stefania had spent 130days in a cave, 30 feet in depth.

During her time in the cave, Stefania had been completely alone except for two white mice. Her living place had been very comfortable, but there had been nothing to tell her the time. She’d had no clocks or watches, no television or radio. There had been no natural light and the temperature had always been kept at 21℃.

The results were very interesting. Stefania had been in the cave for over four months, but she thought she had been there for only two. Her body clock had changed. She hadn’t kept to a 24-hour day, she had stayed awake for 20~25 hours and then had slept for 10 hours. She had eaten fewer meals and had lost 171bs in weight as a result! She had also become rather depressed.

How had she spent her time in the cave? As part of the experiment she’d done some physical and mental tests. She’d recorded her daily activities and the results of the tests on a computer. This computer had been specially programmed for the project. Whenever she was free, she’d played cards, read books and listened to music. She’d also learned French from tapes.

The experiment showed that our body clocks are affected by light and temperature. For example, the pattern of day and night makes us wake up and go to sleep. However, people are affected in different ways. Some people wake up naturally at 5:00 a.m., but others don’t start to wake up till 9:00 or 10:00 a.m. This affects the whole daily rhythm. As a result the early risers are at their best in the late morning. The late risers, on the other hand, are tired during the day and only come to life in the afternoon or evening!

1.Stefania stayed in the cave for a long time because ________.

A. she was asked to do research on mice

B. she wanted to experience loneliness

C. she was the subject of a study

D. she needed to record her life

2.What is a cause for the change of Stefania’s body clock?

A. Eating fewer meals. B. Having more hours of sheep.

C. Lacking physical exercise. D. Getting no natural light.

3.This passage mainly tells about ________.

A. an experiment and its result B. a woman living in the cave

C. a depressed woman D. a woman and two mice
