Dr Asim Syed, 32, has performed more than 100 operations at London’s Hammersmith Hospital in the country’s busiest transplant unit, but never imagined that he would one day become a donor himself.

He stepped forward when was told his 64-year-old mother might be dead within months unless she got a new kidney (肾). The worried surgeon brought her to London to be cared for at his hospital. However, it was not all plain sailing. Tests showed Dr Syed was the wrong blood group, so the only way was to go through a special blood-washing process. He consulted colleagues about that, but they didn’t agree, because the risk of rejection is still too high. Dr Syed and his mother were then advised to consider a new way of donating and receiving, called an organ-paired. That is, Dr Syed donated his kidney to an unknown person and another donor in the chain was a successful match for his mother. The chain of three transplants took place at the same time on July 31 with Dr Syed’s kidney going to a recipient in the Midlands and Mrs. Syed receiving her kidney from a person in the south of England.

Just hours after donating his own kidney, Dr Syed found himself recovering in bed next to his mother. Mrs Syed said, “When I came round from my operation Asim was in the next bed and the first thing he said was, ‘Mum now all your worries are over.’ Tears fell down.”

Now mother and son are recovering well with Dr Syed already back at work. Mrs. Syed is staying with him for several months while the hospital monitors her progress.

He said, “I did what anyone would do when they see a relative suffering disease. Although I wasn’t able to help mum directly, by agreeing to be part of a chain, I was also very happy.”

1. Why isn’t it a plain sailing?

A.No one can treat his mother well.

B.Dr Syed was the wrong blood group.

C.They didn’t have money to be in hospital.

D.Mrs. Syed was unwilling to receive the operation.

2.Why didn’t his colleagues agree to the method of blood-washing?

A.It is very dangerous.

B.It costs too much.

C.They didn’t know how to do it at all.

D.They didn’t have the relative equipment.

3. What can we learn about Mrs. Syed?

A.She was touched by his son’s deed.

B.She has already recovered completely.

C.After operation, she went her own home.

D.She was in hospital in London for many years.

4.What can be inferred from the text?

A.The hospital still needs improving.

B.Dr Syed has love and devotion to his parents.

C.The expense in the hospital is too high to afford.

D.Dr Syed donated his kidney to his mother directly.

Slow parenting means parenting children in the contact of nature without any interference (干预) of materialistic influence. We can also term it as “self-raising”. In slow parenting children are allowed to do what they think proper and parents just keep a watch over the child. Curiosity of the child leads to exploring and discovering things. Parents provide little help only when it’s too necessary, otherwise keep themselves away from the child and just have a look on him/her: This brings about a feeling of self-dependency and they are encouraged to solve their problems.

This is a natural way of learning. When a child is left to learn in a natural environment, the child’s natural development takes place. Influence of any materialistic way doesn’t let the mind develop naturally. Watching TV, playing video games or joining classes of dance, swimming or any other sports will not let the mind develop naturally.

Here creativity of their mind is developed. They explore ideas. The logic behind this is that the kids of animals learn by nature, so can our kids. So let our children play in the garden, to watch flowers, plants, birds, butterflies and other gifts of nature. In the classes of dance, swimming etc. their creativity is influenced and their natural creativity is suppressed (压制). In these classes they are overburdened and can’t train their creativity. So let them play in the open air or garden without any burden instead of joining classes.

Generally parents give toys to their children and explain how to operate them. But those parents who believe in slow parenting give toys and observe how the children are managing them. Their skill to learn and understand comes out. Maybe the process is slow, but it will be their exploration, which will make them self-dependent, and self-capable to learn.

1.In slow parenting, parents ______.

A.set limits to what their children do

B.keep a close watch over their children

C.give the whole directions to what their children do

D.give their children freedom to do what they think proper

2. What is the main advantage of slow parenting according to the passage?

A.Arousing children’s curiosity.

B.Helping children to be independent.

C.Making children interested in exploring nature.

D.Keeping children away from materialistic influence.

3.We can infer from the third paragraph that______.

A.children should join some classes

B.slow parenting should be done in a logical way

C.exploring nature is a good way of slow parenting

D.children can’t learn by nature like the kids of animals

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A.Slow parenting and its advantages.

B.Different parenting styles.

C.The requirements of slow parenting.

D.The author’s opinion on slow parenting.

Forget chip fat, sugar cane or rapeseed oil — the latest source of biofuel could be watermelons. Scientists have discovered that the fruit is a great source of sugar that can be readily distilled (蒸馏) into alcohol to power cars and farm machinery.

And sellers reject 360,000 tons of “substandard” fruit every year in America alone which could be used as an economical way to make fuel. The waste from US growers could produce nearly two million gallons (nine million litres) of biofuel per year.

In the study, researchers at the United States Department of Agriculture set out to determine the biofuel potential of juice from rejected watermelons —those not sold due to cosmetic imperfections, and currently ploughed back into the field. About a fifth of each yearly watermelon crop is left in the field because of surface blemishes (瑕疵) or because they are misshapen.

Dr. Wayne Fish, who led the team, found that 50 percent of the fruit was fermentable (可发酵的) into alcohol which could provide valuable fuel.

“We’ve shown that the juice of these watermelons is a source of readily fermentable sugars, representing an unexploited raw material for alcohol biofuel production,” he said.

The study, published in the journal Biotechnology for Biofuels, discovered that watermelons could produce around 20 gallons of fuel per acre from fruit that otherwise would go to waste.

Production of biofuels has been targeted by Western governments as a way to support renewable energy targets.

The European Union has a target for 2010 that 5.75 percent of transport fuels should come from biological sources, but the target is unlikely to be met.

The British government’s Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation requires five percent of the fuel sold at the pump by 2010 to be biofuel.

1.The passage mainly tells us ______.

A.watermelon juice will be the largest source of renewable energy

B.the advantages of fuel made from watermelons

C.Western countries aim at producing biofuels

D.watermelons could be used to make fuel

2. It can be learned from the text that ______.

A.about two gallons of fuel could be made from rejected fruit per acre

B.sellers in the world throw away 360,000 tons of watermelons every year

C.half of the watermelons were fermentable into alcohol to provide energy

D.five percent of fuel is required to be biofuel from watermelons by 2010 in Britain

3.The underlined word “cosmetic” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.

A.fresh

B.sweet

C.surface

D.inside

4.We can infer from the passage that ______.

A.it will cost a lot to make biofuel from watermelons

B.Western countries are engaged in biofuel study but still have a long way to go

C.watermelon juice has been used as a source of sugars to produce alcohol biofuel

D.the European Union is likely to meet its target of transport fuels from biological sources

26. 难度:困难

It is pretty much a one-way street. While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial (商业的) world, there is very little traffic in the opposite direction. Pay has always been the biggest deterrent, as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. For some industrial scientists, however, the attractions of academia (学术界) outweigh any financial (金钱的) considerations.

Helen Lee took a 70%cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few prospects (前景) of a commercial return, and Lee’s is one of them.

The influence of a salary cut is probably less serious for a scientist in the early stages of a career. Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a medicine company before returning to university as a post doctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual chances.

Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more important, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the change to academia more attractive, according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development. “Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential (潜力) in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project.”

1.By “a one-way street” in Paragraph 1, the author means ______.

A.university researchers know little about the commercial world

B.few university professors are willing to do industrial research

C.few industrial scientists would leave to work in a university

D.there is little exchange between industry and academia

2.The underlined word “deterrent” most probably refers to “something that ______”.

A.helps to move the traffic

B.attracts people’s attention

C.brings someone a financial burden

D.keeps someone from taking action

3.What was Helen Lee’s major consideration when she changed her job in the middle of her career?

A.Less work hours.

B.More freedom to choose research fields.

C.Better prospects of a commercial return.

D.Her preference for the lifestyle on campus.

4.What can industrial scientists do when they come to teach in a university?

A.Make its research more practical.

B.Develop its students’ potential in research.

C.Help it to obtain financial support from industry.

D.Increase its graduates’ competitiveness in the job market.
