While help has always been available for Emma, Alison and her husband also have to fight to get Cameron
29、the support he needs. “People could see that Emma has special needs but because Cameron was doing so well at school, his teachers never thought there was a problem with him,” says Alison.It took Alison and her husband a while to realize their son was different. Camerons ability didnt become clear un
30、til he began primary school. Once he even corrected the teacher when she told the class that zero was the lowest number. Cameron told her she was wrong because there were negative numbers(负数).

36、ientists said on Thursday .By December, the Institute of Neuroscience of the Chinese Academy of Sciences had created two clone macaques(猕猴) named “Zhong Zhong” and “Hua Hua” by nuclear transferring of somatic cells(体细胞) - any cell in the organism other than reproductive cells.Tetra, a monkey born in
37、 1999, is the worlds first cloned monkey, but it was done by using a simpler method called embryo splitting(胚胎分割), and cannot be genetically changed to suit the experimental need. Cloning a monkey using somatic cells has been a world-class challenge because it is a primate(灵长类) that shares its genet
38、ic makeup, and therefore all of its complexity, with humans.For drug and other lab tests, scientists have to purchase monkeys from all over the world, which is costly and bad for the environment, and produces inaccurate results because each monkey might have different genes. By cloning monkey using
39、somatic cells, we can massively cultivate large numbers of genetically identical offspring (后代）in a short amount of time, and we can even change their genes to suit our needs. This can save time, cut down experiment costs, and produce more accurate results, leading to more effective medicine.Sun Qia
40、ng, director of the non-human primate research facility at the institute, said most of the drug trials are currently done on lab mice. However, drugs that work on mice might not work or even have severe side effects on humans because the two species are so different.“Monkeys and humans are both prim
41、ates, so they are much closely related and testing on monkeys is supposed to be as effective as testing on humans,” he said. “This is especially useful in testing drugs for neural (神经的) diseases such as Parkinsons disease, metabolic syndrome (代谢综合症) and immune system diseases, and tumors,” he added.
42、“This achievement will help China lead the world research in the international science projects related to neural mapping of primate brains,” he said. “However, bio-labs from the United States, Japan, and European countries are also very capable, and they will quickly catch up with China after the m
43、onkey cloning technology is made public,” Sun added.“This means we have to innovate continuously and work extra hard this year to stay ahead.” he said.32. Which of the following is the most important factor in cloning macaques named “Zhong Zhong” and “Hua Hua”?A. Reproductive cells. B. Genetic makeu
44、p. C. Embryo splitting. D. Somatic cells.33. Why is cloning monkeys so difficult?A. Because it is bad for our environment.B. Because each monkey might have different genes.C. Because monkeys genetic makeup is as complicated as humans.D. Because it is too expensive to work on their genetic makeup.34.
45、 What is the main idea of Paragraph 6?A. The cure for neural diseases. B. The process of cloning monkeys.C. The significance of cloning monkeys. D. The close relations between monkeys and humans.35. What can we infer from this passage?A. More effective medicine will be produced. B. Drug trials on la
46、b mice will be abandoned.C. China is the first country to have cloned monkeys.D. China will stay ahead of the world in cloning.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Main Types of Water PollutionWhen we think of Earths water resources, we think of huge oceans, lakes, and
47、rivers. 36 The most obvious type of water pollution affects surface water. For example, a spill from an oil tanker creates an oil slick（浮油）that can affect a vast area of an ocean.37 A great deal of water is held in underground rock structures known as aquifers(含水层). Water stored underground in aquif
48、ers is known as groundwater. Aquifers feed our rivers and supply much of our drinking water. They can also become polluted, for example, when weedkillers used in peoples gardens drain into the ground.Surface water and groundwater are the two types of water resources that pollution affects. 38 If pol
49、lution comes from a single location, such as a discharge（排出）pipe attached to a factory, it is known as point source pollution. 39 A great deal of water pollution happens not from one single source but from many different sources. This is called nonpoint source pollution.Sometimes pollution that enters the environment in one place has an effect hundreds or even thousands of miles away. 40 One example is the way radioactive waste travels t
