The wrld’s ceans, lakes and rivers are under increasing pressure frm climate change, grwing demand, urbanizatin, and pllutin, threatening their ability t sustain life.
“Withut better data t understand the health f increasingly stressed waterways, the fight t save these mst precius resurces will be ineffective,” said the c-funder f a technlgy cmpany. “Virtually every waterway is plluted t an extent where the ecsystem just can’t balance back anymre,” he explains.

He said, “Investrs shuld abslutely wake up.”

Fr centuries, explrers have searched fr the funtain f yuth. Surprisingly, the secret t staying yung might have been within us all alng. Amr, a scientist, and clleagues have discvered that T cells can be reprgrammed t fight aging, s t speak.
Given the right genetic changes, these white bld cells can attack anther grup f cells knwn as senescent (衰老的) cells, which are thught t be respnsible fr many f the diseases we fight with later in life. Senescent cells are thse that stp replicating (再生). As we age, they build up in ur bdies, resulting in sme diseases.
While several existing drugs can eliminate these cells, many must be taken repeatedly ver time. As an alternative, Amr and clleagues turned t a “living” drug called CAR (chimeric antigen receptr)T cells.
They discvered CART cells culd be used t rid f senescent cells in mice. As a result, the mice ended up living healthier lives. They had lwer bdy weight, imprved metablism (新陈代谢), and increased physical activity. All these came withut any tissue damage r side effects.
Perhaps the greatest pwer f CART cells is their lng-lasting effects. The team fund that just ne dse (一剂) at a yung age can have lifelng effects. That single treatment can prtect against cnditins that cmmnly ccur later in life.
“T cells have the ability t develp memry and exist in yur bdy fr really lng perids. which is very different frm a chemical drug,” Amr explained.
Amr’s lab is nw investigating whether CART cells let mice live nt nly healthier but als lnger. If s, sciety will be ne step clser t the funtain f yuth.
12. What discvery have scientists made abut T cells and aging?
A. T cells cause aging.B. Aging is caused by genetic changes.
C. Senescent cells are T cells.D. T cells can fight aging.
13. What des the underlined wrd “eliminate” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Sustain.B. Remve.C. Cue.D. Plish.
14. Which effect f CART cells n yung mice des the text emphasize?
A. Shrt-term activity increase.B. Immediate weight reductin.
C. Lifelng health enhancement.D. Temprary metablic imprvement.
15. What is Amr’s attitude t the future f emplying CAR T cells?
A. Optimistic.B. Dubtful.C. Critical.D. Unclear.

【4题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Ghunta’s family lived in a rural part f Western Jamaica. His mther ften had t make tugh chices abut hw t use their limited resurces, including a decisin t send his ldest sister t schl, and t keep Ghunta at hme. (Ghunta的家人住在牙买加西部的农村地区。他的母亲经常不得不在如何使用有限的资源方面做出艰难的选择，包括决定送他的大姐去上学，以及让Ghunta留在家里。)”可知，Ghunta的母亲经常不得不就如何利用有限的资源做出艰难的选择。因此，Ghunta的家庭生活贫困。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第二段“When Ghunta finally went t schl, he culdn’t catch up n his reading skills. Nt nly had he been kept hme frm schl as a child, but he had nt been expsed t bks. By the time he entered the sixth grade, he culd spell his name, but he still culdn’t make ut wrds. spell, r read with understanding. (当Ghunta终于去上学时，他的阅读技能却跟不上了。他不仅小时候被关在家里不去上学，而且也没有接触过书本。当他上六年级的时候，他已经能拼出自己的名字了，但他还是不会发音。用理解拼写或阅读。)”和第四段中的“Under her guidance, Ghunta’s reading skills finally started t imprve. He started t feel mre cnfident. (在她的指导下，Ghunta的阅读能力终于开始提高。他开始觉得更自信了。)”可知，在遇到那位年轻教师之前，古特的阅读能力很差，到六年级时仍不能读懂单词，这使他在学习上落后，可以推断他的自信心是不足的。因此，最能描述他的词是Uncnfident“不自信的”。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段中的““She had left me with the gift f literacy,” he said, “and with the value as a human being.” His life tk a new directin. (“她给我留下了识字的礼物，”他说，“以及作为人的价值。”他的生活有了新的方向。)”及最后一段““I wuld lve her t see the significant impact that she has made n my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memry f her—the hpe and the light—with me and hw it cntinues t be a surce f jy.” (“我想让她看到她对我的生活产生的重大影响，以及我对她的记忆——希望和光明——的方式，以及它如何继续成为快乐的源泉。”)”可知，这位老师对古特的影响超出了识字本身，她帮助他获得了自我价值感和希望。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第四段中的“Under her guidance, Ghunta’s reading skills finally started t imprve. He started t feel mre cnfident. “She had left me with the gift f literacy,” he said, “and with the value as a human being.” His life tk a new directin. He graduated frm elementary schl with a number f academic awards, including ne fr “mst imprved in reading”. He went n t cllege.

The cmpany has put its technlgy t use in different regins. It has perated in bth fresh and saltwater, near dams, and in harbrs and fish farms, checking things like water quality and fish health and cllecting data wherever they g. The CEO f the cmpany said its technlgy culd be used in the regin fr water management, sustainable aquaculture (水产养殖) peratins, and mnitring the health f crals.
Still, the cmpany has sme blcks t clear befre its fishlike rbts will be seen cruising (游弋) thrugh the wrld’s waterways. “We need capital t cmmercialize,” said the CEO, “but there are very few peple wh are willing t actually supprt thse that are ding frntier technlgies in the waterways.” The funder hpes mre funding will fllw. He said, “Investrs shuld abslutely wake up.”

Fr centuries, explrers have searched fr the funtain f yuth. Surprisingly, the secret t staying yung might have been within us all alng. Amr, a scientist, and clleagues have discvered that T cells can be reprgrammed t fight aging, s t speak.
Given the right genetic changes, these white bld cells can attack anther grup f cells knwn as senescent (衰老的) cells, which are thught t be respnsible fr many f the diseases we fight with later in life. Senescent cells are thse that stp replicating (再生). As we age, they build up in ur bdies, resulting in sme diseases.
While several existing drugs can eliminate these cells, many must be taken repeatedly ver time. As an alternative, Amr and clleagues turned t a “living” drug called CAR (chimeric antigen receptr)T cells.
They discvered CART cells culd be used t rid f senescent cells in mice. As a result, the mice ended up living healthier lives. They had lwer bdy weight, imprved metablism (新陈代谢), and increased physical activity. All these came withut any tissue damage r side effects.
Perhaps the greatest pwer f CART cells is their lng-lasting effects. The team fund that just ne dse (一剂) at a yung age can have lifelng effects. That single treatment can prtect against cnditins that cmmnly ccur later in life.
“T cells have the ability t develp memry and exist in yur bdy fr really lng perids. which is very different frm a chemical drug,” Amr explained.
Amr’s lab is nw investigating whether CART cells let mice live nt nly healthier but als lnger. If s, sciety will be ne step clser t the funtain f yuth.
12. What discvery have scientists made abut T cells and aging?
A. T cells cause aging.B. Aging is caused by genetic changes.
C. Senescent cells are T cells.D. T cells can fight aging.
13. What des the underlined wrd “eliminate” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Sustain.B. Remve.C. Cue.D. Plish.
14. Which effect f CART cells n yung mice des the text emphasize?
A. Shrt-term activity increase.B. Immediate weight reductin.
C. Lifelng health enhancement.D. Temprary metablic imprvement.
15. What is Amr’s attitude t the future f emplying CAR T cells?

Senescent cells are thse that stp replicating (再生). As we age, they build up in ur bdies, resulting in sme diseases.(如果基因发生了正确的变化，这些白细胞可以攻击另一组被称为衰老细胞的细胞，衰老细胞被认为是导致我们晚年与之抗争的许多疾病的原因。衰老细胞是那些停止复制的细胞。随着年龄的增长，它们在我们体内积聚，导致一些疾病)”以及划线词上文“While several existing drugs can”可知，while表示转折，说明虽然目前有几种药物可以消除这些导致人衰老的细胞，但许多药物必须长期反复服用。故划线词eliminate意思是“消除”，与Remve意思一致。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“They discvered CART cells culd be used t rid f senescent cells in mice. As a result, the mice ended up living healthier lives. They had lwer bdy weight, imprved metablism (新陈代谢), and increased physical activity. (结果，老鼠最终过上了更健康的生活他们发现CART细胞可以用来清除小鼠体内的衰老细胞。结果，老鼠最终过上了更健康的生活。他们的体重较低，新陈代谢改善，体力活动增加。)”以及第五段中“Perhaps the greatest pwer f CART cells is their lng-lasting effects. The team fund that just ne dse (一剂) at a yung age can have lifelng effects. (也许CART细胞最大的力量在于它们的持久效果.研究小组发现，年轻时服用一剂就能产生终生影响。)”可知，CART细胞让老鼠的身体更健康，而且这种影响还很持久。故选C。
