20、 share their stories with their students about science in the Arctic in a few weeks.For their two-week experience, Richmond and McDowell are living in a tent. So far, they have helped to set up a laboratory, processed soil samples and mounted other samples onto microscope slides.“As teachers in the
21、classroom, I think its important for us to get out and do science, Richmond says. This experience has rekindled (重新点燃)her enthusiasm for science, she says.

27、 is the “food of the gods, a sweet treat for many across the world, and an increasingly popular industry worth an estimated $110 billion a year. But chocolate lovers, your beloved snack may have just been saved by another sweet treat: mangoes (芒果).Scientists may have found a way to solve a possibly
28、coming shortage of cocoa, which could affect future chocolate production, by using mangoes in place of cocoa to make chocolate, according to a study. “Wild mango is one of the so-called Cinderella (灰姑娘) species whose real value is unrealized, says Akhter, the studys senior author.Global cocoa produc
29、tion has gone down in recent years due to a handful of factors including changes in climate and crop failure while the demand for cocoa has been on the rise. Cocoa producers in the past also have been accused of unfair labor practices, including employing child laborers and underpaying farmers. Wild
30、 mango butter may be chemically and physically similar enough to cocoa butter to act as a replacement, which makes researchers and food producers excited and hopeful.The studys authors also believe the potential business benefits of the fruit could be a boon to protection efforts. “Going beyond the
31、use to industry, wild fruits like mangoes are an important source of food, medicine and income for rural people, but are in decline due to factors such as deforestation, said Morag McDonald of Bangor University, another of the studys authors. Adding value to underused products through processing for
32、 products that have market value can bring about a valuable motivation for the conservation of such species, and help to bring about alternative income sources and reduce household poverty.28.

35、Little and his team carried out an experiment on more than 100 rats. The group of scientists used products such as cigarettes to test for lung cancer, and they were trying to find a cure.They could not find any product to produce lung cancer or anything compared to the extremes that humans go throug
36、h on the rats. Medical professionals are still insisting that they need to test on animals to cure cancer and other diseases. However, if rats cant contract the same diseases, it means there is no real point in testing them.Since 1963, scientists have slowly been realizing that using animals in thei
37、r experiments is not important. Medical advances have even been delayed due to experimenting on animals. Some data from U.S. Food and Drug Administration show that 92 percent of drugs which pass animal trials are found to be unsafe or ineffective in human trials and never reach the market.Animal exp
38、erimentation is less efficient and reliable than many non-animal methods of experimentation. The most hated and known practice of animal experimentation is “pound seizure” which is where animal shelters sell animals to some labs and companies to test their products.Its shocking that some countries s
39、till allow testing on animals. There are many products that have not been tested on animals and they work even better than the products that have been. So the need for animal experimentation is zero; there are so many ways to get around it. Stopping animal experimentation could be easily done in a f
40、ew steps: reducing the number of animals being tested, reducing the types of animals that are tested, making sure the outcome will be actually used and needed, and finally replacing all animals with non-living models.32. Why did scientists do an experiment on rats in 1963?A. To look for a treatment
41、for lung cancer.B. To improve the quality of some medicines.C. To find out how people suffered from cancer.D. To look for the cause of an unknown disease.33.

It helps stop animal testing.D. Its reliable but not efficient.35. Which of the following does the author agree with?A.

44、则同时涂A, B,若选F则同时涂B, C,若选G则同时涂C, D。)Anyone who keeps a garden knows that most plants bend towards the sun to catch as much sunlight as they can. This is called “solar tracking”. 36 If you observe a sunflower in the early morning, you will find it turning its face eastward; at sunset, on the other hand
45、 its face will turn towards the west. 37 In other words, what happens if you take a sunflower out of the garden bed and keep it in a completely dark room?Surprisingly, the sunflower will continue its solar tracking without sunlight. It will bend, just as it did outside, eastward at sunrise and west
46、ward at sunset, even if there is not a single ray of light inside the dark room. This is a classic example of what scientists call a circadian rhythm (昼夜节律).What does it mean? 38 Its not directed by the environment.Sunflowers do follow the sun, but they dont just “seek” sunlight. 39 Although sunflow
47、ers dont bend with any purpose in mind, some scientists think they have evolved their solar tracking system over millions of years. According to this theory, the evolution helps sunflowers catch light more effectively, and the ones that catch light best are most likely to survive. As a result of this natural selection, we now have sunflowers that bend automatically. 40 After a certain stage sunflowers stop following the sun and only face east.A. Sunflowers are a well-known example of this.B. Sunflowers are also an important source of
