Fr the next twenty years, visin came and went. I went thrugh many eye peratins in an attempt t keep my visin. But after ne final peratin, I lst the battle and all remaining visin.

Desperately ill and seeking a miracle, David Bennett Sr. tk the last bet n Jan. 7. when be became the first human t be successfully transplanted with the heart f a pig. “It creates the beat; it creates the pressure; it is his heart,” declared Bartley Griffith, directr f the surgical team that perfrmed the peratin at the University f Maryland Medical Center.
Bennett, 57, held n thrugh 60 tmrrws, far lnger than any previus patient wh’d received a heart frm anther species. His remarkable run ffered new hpe that such prcedures, knwn as xentransplantatin (异种移植), culd help relieve the shrtage f replacement rgans, saving thusands f lives each year.
The earliest attempts at xentransplantatin f rgans, invlving kidneys frm rabbits, gats, and ther animals, ccurred in the early 20th century, decades befre the first successful human-t-human transplants. Rejectin, which ccurs when the recipient’s bdy system recgnizes the dnr rgan as a freign bject and attacks it, fllwed within hurs r days. Results imprved after sme special drugs arrived in the 1960s, but mst recipients still died after a few weeks. The recrd fr a heart xentransplant was set in 1983, when an infant named Baby Fae survived fr 20 days with an rgan frm a babn (狒狒).
In recent years hwever, advances in gene editing have pened a new pssibility: re-edit sme genes in animals t prvide user-friendly spare parts. Pigs culd be ideal fr this purpse, because they’re easy t raise and reach adult human size in mnths. Sme bitech cmpanies. including Revivicr, are investing heavily in the field. The dnr pig was ffered by Revivicr frm a line f animals in which 10 genes had been re-edited t imprve the heart’s cnditin. Beynd that, the pig was raised in islatin and tested regularly fr viruses that culd infect humans r damage the rgan itself.
This medical breakthrugh prvided an alternative fr the 20% f patients n the heart transplant waiting list wh die while waiting r becme t sick t be a gd candidate.
8. What des the underlined wrd “run” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. Dnating his heart t a patient.
B. Perfrming the heart peratin.
C. Living fr 60 days after the peratin.
D. Receiving a new heart frm a pig.
9. Which aspect f xentransplantatin des paragraph 3 mainly fcus n?
A. Its histry.B. Its prcedure.C. Its cnsequence.D. Its significance.
10. What makes pigs ideal fr prviding spare parts in xentransplantatin?
A. Their grwth rate and health cnditin.
B. Their life pattern and resistance t viruses.
C. Their easiness f keeping and rapid grwth.
D. Their investment value and natural qualities.
11. Why was Bennett’s peratin regarded as a breakthrugh?
A. It intrduced new medicatins t prevent rgan rejectin.
B. It prved the ptential fr using rgans frm varius animals.
C. It guaranteed a sufficient supply f dnr pigs fr transplants.
D. It ffered a prspect f replacement rgans thrugh gene editing.

A Dutch cmpany has develped technlgy t fllw the mvements and activities f cws. The high-tech system, pwered by AI and mtin sensrs, is called “The Intelligent Dairy Farmer’s Assistant.” The cmpany, Cnnecterra, launched the system in the United States in December after several years f testing and peratins in Eurpe.
A device is put arund the neck f the cw t recrd its mvements. This infrmatin is then prcessed by a cmputer that uses AI t learn abut the animal’s behavir ver time. The system can tell farmers what the cw is ding in real time. This infrmatin can help predict when cattle get sick, becme less prductive r are ready fr mating.
Richard Watsn wns the Seven Oaks Dairy in Waynesbr, Gergia. He was ne f the first American farmers t use the high-tech system.
“It can pick up whether the cw is eating, whether it is walking, whether it is drinking, whether it is laying dwn, standing up.”
Watsn said the system is a big help because it is impssible fr farmers t keep up with the activities f each cw individually. He added that having a cmputer identify which f his 2,000 cattle need attentin culd help imprve farm prductivity by up t 10 percent. He estimates this difference culd greatly increase his prfits.
“Just a 10 percent r five percent increase, r imprvement in prductivity, means hundreds f thusands f dllars t us, aside frm the fact that we just want happier and healthier and mre welfare in ur animals, anyway.”
The funder and head f Cnnecterra is Yasir Khkhar. He says the idea fr the system came while he was living n a dairy farm suth f Amsterdam.
“It turns ut the technlgy farmers use is really utdated in many aspects,” Khkhar tld the Assciated Press. He added that mst f the technlgy that des exist is difficult t use. He says mdern agriculture greatly needs new technlgy like this.
The cmpany says infrmatin abut the cws can be cllected and seen n a cellphne r ther mbile device. A text message can als infrm farmers f cncerns invlving the animals.
12. Hw des “the Intelligent Dairy Farmer’s Assistant” help farmers?
A. By giving alarms t farmers.
B. By fcusing farmers’ attentin n cattle.
C. By sending real-time infrmatin abut cws t farmers.
D. By telling farmers which cw is less prductive r ready t mate.
13. What’s Watsn’s attitude twards the high-tech system?
A. Indifferent.B. Neutral.C. Passive.D. Cnfident.
14. Why did Khkhar cme up with the idea f the high tech system?
A. Because he nce lived n a diary farm.
B. Because sme agricultural technlgies were ut f date.
C. Because he wanted t increase the incme f farmers.
D. Because sme farming systems turned ut t be a failure.
15. What des the passage mainly talks abut?
A. Mdern agriculture in America.
B. Ways f raising cws mre efficiently.
C. A Dutch cmpany knwn as a high- tech system.
D. “Smart Farm” technlgy tracking behavir f cws.

Desperately ill and seeking a miracle, David Bennett Sr. tk the last bet n Jan. 7. when be became the first human t be successfully transplanted with the heart f a pig. “It creates the beat; it creates the pressure; it is his heart,” declared Bartley Griffith, directr f the surgical team that perfrmed the peratin at the University f Maryland Medical Center.
Bennett, 57, held n thrugh 60 tmrrws, far lnger than any previus patient wh’d received a heart frm anther species. His remarkable run ffered new hpe that such prcedures, knwn as xentransplantatin (异种移植), culd help relieve the shrtage f replacement rgans, saving thusands f lives each year.
The earliest attempts at xentransplantatin f rgans, invlving kidneys frm rabbits, gats, and ther animals, ccurred in the early 20th century, decades befre the first successful human-t-human transplants. Rejectin, which ccurs when the recipient’s bdy system recgnizes the dnr rgan as a freign bject and attacks it, fllwed within hurs r days. Results imprved after sme special drugs arrived in the 1960s, but mst recipients still died after a few weeks. The recrd fr a heart xentransplant was set in 1983, when an infant named Baby Fae survived fr 20 days with an rgan frm a babn (狒狒).
In recent years hwever, advances in gene editing have pened a new pssibility: re-edit sme genes in animals t prvide user-friendly spare parts. Pigs culd be ideal fr this purpse, because they’re easy t raise and reach adult human size in mnths. Sme bitech cmpanies. including Revivicr, are investing heavily in the field. The dnr pig was ffered by Revivicr frm a line f animals in which 10 genes had been re-edited t imprve the heart’s cnditin. Beynd that, the pig was raised in islatin and tested regularly fr viruses that culd infect humans r damage the rgan itself.
This medical breakthrugh prvided an alternative fr the 20% f patients n the heart transplant waiting list wh die while waiting r becme t sick t be a gd candidate.

C. Living fr 60 days after the peratin.
D. Receiving a new heart frm a pig.

A Dutch cmpany has develped technlgy t fllw the mvements and activities f cws. The high-tech system, pwered by AI and mtin sensrs, is called “The Intelligent Dairy Farmer’s Assistant.” The cmpany, Cnnecterra, launched the system in the United States in December after several years f testing and peratins in Eurpe.
A device is put arund the neck f the cw t recrd its mvements. This infrmatin is then prcessed by a cmputer that uses AI t learn abut the animal’s behavir ver time. The system can tell farmers what the cw is ding in real time. This infrmatin can help predict when cattle get sick, becme less prductive r are ready fr mating.
Richard Watsn wns the Seven Oaks Dairy in Waynesbr, Gergia. He was ne f the first American farmers t use the high-tech system.
“It can pick up whether the cw is eating, whether it is walking, whether it is drinking, whether it is laying dwn, standing up.”
Watsn said the system is a big help because it is impssible fr farmers t keep up with the activities f each cw individually. He added that having a cmputer identify which f his 2,000 cattle need attentin culd help imprve farm prductivity by up t 10 percent. He estimates this difference culd greatly increase his prfits.
“Just a 10 percent r five percent increase, r imprvement in prductivity, means hundreds f thusands f dllars t us, aside frm the fact that we just want happier and healthier and mre welfare in ur animals, anyway.”
The funder and head f Cnnecterra is Yasir Khkhar. He says the idea fr the system came while he was living n a dairy farm suth f Amsterdam.
“It turns ut the technlgy farmers use is really utdated in many aspects,” Khkhar tld the Assciated Press. He added that mst f the technlgy that des exist is difficult t use. He says mdern agriculture greatly needs new technlgy like this.
The cmpany says infrmatin abut the cws can be cllected and seen n a cellphne r ther mbile device. A text message can als infrm farmers f cncerns invlving the animals.
12. Hw des “the Intelligent Dairy Farmer’s Assistant” help farmers?
A. By giving alarms t farmers.
B. By fcusing farmers’ attentin n cattle.
C. By sending real-time infrmatin abut cws t farmers.
D. By telling farmers which cw is less prductive r ready t mate.
13. What’s Watsn’s attitude twards the high-tech system?
A. Indifferent.B. Neutral.C. Passive.D. Cnfident.
14. Why did Khkhar cme up with the idea f the high tech system?
A. Because he nce lived n a diary farm.
B. Because sme agricultural technlgies were ut f date.
C. Because he wanted t increase the incme f farmers.
D. Because sme farming systems turned ut t be a failure.
15. What des the passage mainly talks abut?
A. Mdern agriculture in America.
B. Ways f raising cws mre efficiently.
C. A Dutch cmpany knwn as a high- tech system.
D. “Smart Farm” technlgy tracking behavir f cws.
