But this name belongs to 78-year-old James Harrisonan Australian man who has donated blood almost every week,saving more than 2 million babies in the process.Harrison told CNN,an American channel,about why he chooses to donate,even though its not the most pleasurable experience:“Never once have I watched the needle go in my arm. I cant stand the sight of blood,and I cant stand pain.”An amazingly unique antibody (抗体) in Harrisons blood makes it a true lifesaver for babies who could be affected by rhesus disease.The condition occurs during some pregnancies,when a woman who has rhesus-negative blood produces antibodies that destroy her babies cells. This can happen when the baby has the same rhesus-positive blood as the father. Rhesus disease can cause health issues in babies. It can even result in death.Harrisons blood helped physicians develop an injection called Anti-D in the 1960s,which prevents women who have rhesus-negative blood from developing the harmful antibodies while pregnant. After Harrison pletes one of his routine donations,his blood can be used to create more vaccines (疫苗)“I started donating in 1955,two days after I turned 18,” Harrison said when he pleted his 1,075th donation.As CNN reported,every Anti-D vaccine created in Australia has something to do with a donation from Harrison,who holds the record for most blood donations in Australia.“A number of mothers have e up to me and said,Thank you very much for what youve done,because I now have one,two,three healthy children,” Harrison said.Harrisons own daughter,Tracey Mellowship,had been one of the 17 percent of women who need Anti-D during their pregnancy. The injection helped guarantee her second son would be born healthy.“Dad had always donatedwe knew that,” Mellowship said. “But it didnt hit home until I was pregnant and knew the consequences.”21From the first two paragraphs we can infer that Harrison is_Ahumorous and smart Bbrave and unselfishCfriendly but nervous Doptimistic but weak22Babies affected by rhesus disease_Ahave the same blood type as their mothers Bdevelop the disease after being bornCcant form blood themselves Dgrow problematic cells23Harrisons blood can_Ahelp patients develop Anti-D Bavoid the risk of rhesus diseaseCcure rhesus disease affected babies Dstop babies from producing antibodies24Before Mellowship was injected Anti-D,her family didnt_Aunderstand the meaning of Harrisons actBexpect she would have another healthy sonCrealize the high rate of potential rhesus diseaseDknow Harrison held a record for donating bloodBIt was the middle of third grade and I was not sure what had got into me. I lied about many thingsI lied that I had eaten all my dinner,when in fact I buried it in the trash can. I lied that I had made my bed,when clearly I had not. My lies were not hurting anyone,but for some reason I felt the need to tell lies on an impulse (冲动) that didnt feel like my own. I was labeled a liar.One day my sisters and I were invited to spend the weekend with my aunt. We all loved it. She spoiled us with her time. And she was an amazing artist. She had cool pencils,erasers and other supplies that any young girl would love to get her hands on. Then it happened.someone took one of Aunt Kims good art erasers and rubbed it across the entire top of the TV. The eraser ruined the shiny finish on the TVs casing. All the three of us were called into the TV room and asked to admit. Nobody did!Aunt Kim told us how disappointed she was.The next thing I knew was that she was on the phone with my parents and they were on their way to picking me up. It had to be me! I was the liar. I argued,but no one listened. And then before dinner there was a knock at the front door! Aunt Kim was standing there. It turned out my younger sister finally felt guilty! She admitted that she was the one who rubbed the eraser on the TV.I was invited back!A lie may take care of the present,but it has no future.

A stranger walks up and says,“ Here,let me hold your baby.” Should you let him?According to a new New York University study,knowing whether or not to trust someone is so important that we can tell whether a face is trustworthy before we even consciously know its there. The researchers knew from previous studies that people are fairly similar when it es to how they judge a faces trustworthiness. They wanted to find out whether that would be true if people only saw a face for a quick momentan amount of time so short that it would prevent making a conscious judgment.To carry out their study,the researchers monitored the amygdala (扁桃腺结构) of 37 volunteers while showing them 300 faces for 33 milliseconds each. Those faces had already been tested with a different set of 10 subjects,who saw them for much longer. In those earlier tests,people agreed about whether to trust each face. In this new study,fascinatingly,different parts of the amygdala lit up when a subject saw an untrustworthy face and a trustworthy oneand it lit up more when the face in question was suspicious (可疑的)“ Faces that appear likely to cause harm are suddenly tracked by the amygdala,so it could then quickly change other brain processes and make fast responses to peopleapproach or avoid,” says Jon Freeman,the studys senior author. “Our talents for making instant judgments could either e from birth or be learned from the social environment.”So should you trust the guy in the parking lot? Your brain already knows.32What is Paragraph 1 used to?ATo summarize the whole passage. BTo make the passage more interesting.CTo introduce the topic of the passage. DTo warn people to guard against strangers.33The amygdala lit up more clearly when people _Acame across a neutral face mask Bsaw an untrustworthy faceCmet a reliable person Dsaw a familiar face34What can we infer from Freemans words?ABrain processes cannot be changed. BThe amygdala tracks only faces of bad men.CThe amygdala decides the accuracy of judgments.DThe ability of making fast judgments can be acquired.35What would be the best title for the passage?AIs facial trustworthiness reliable?BYou can judge a person even without being aware of itCYour brain decides whether to trust people in millisecondsDCan the amygdala reveal how people make automatic judgments?第二节 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能够填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项(每小题2分,满分10分) Livestock (牲畜) cloning is the practice of cloning sheep,cattle and other livestock species as a way to improve efficiency. The basic idea behind livestock cloning is to clone animals that have certain qualities,such as cows that produce more milk or meat._36_ However,this practice is very controversial,and livestock farmers have been hesitant to adopt it fully because of public opposition and certain inefficiencies.In technical terms,livestock are cloned by taking cells from one animal and using them to fertilize eggs (使卵子受精)Scientists take the fertilized eggs and put them in female animals._37_ many animals are born with abnormal shapes. Scientists are looking for ways to improve the process and make it less expensive to adopt on a wider scale._38_For example,if farmers were able to take only their very best animals and recreate them many times,they could potentially be more productive.There are also some potential problems with cloned livestock._39_ For example,when a disease hits,there are usually individuals who cannot be harmed by the disease or are more resistant,and they will generally survive. If all the animals were genetically (在基因方面) identical or similar,this sort of disease could totally destroy an entire generation of livestock,leaving the world with a massive food shortage.In addition to concerns about genetic diversity,there are other concerns about cloning._40_ There are also some people who worry that livestock cloning research may be a gateway to introducing human cloning,which is widely disapproved of.AAre the surviving clones really clones?BTherefore,the new species is expected to be better.CThe biggest one arises from a reduction in genetic diversity.DCloned livestock have the potential to provide some major benefits.ECloning animals shows us what might happen if we try to clone humans.FThese concerns sometimes e from worries over unforeseen consequences.GThis process doesnt always work perfectly,and it can be relatively expensive.III完形填空,从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。(每小题1.5分,共20小题,满分30分)We stood there together,_41_ the lovely table and chairs.

Then they actually pulled up another of the antique chairs and _52_ my husband to sit in it.Im glad to report no more chairs were _53_But one was more than enough,and to our hosts that chair represented so much more than a place to sit. Yet for them _54_ took priority (优先权) over the priceless chair. They chose people over _55_,hospitality over something they loved.Sometimes we have to make that kind of choice. The fact is,other people dont always value what we value _56_we value it. They dont always act _57_Sometimes they cost us.
