The family of a 6­year­old adopted Chinese girl who badly needs a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植) believes they have found a match in China.
Kailee Wells suffers from a serious aplastic anemia (再生障碍性贫血), which prevents bone marrow from producing new blood cells. She has taken courses of treatment but has shown little sign of recovery.
The best help for such patients is a transplant of healthy marrow or blood cells from a suitable donor. Certain tissue of the patient and the donor must match.
Kailee's mother, Linda Wells, made her second trip to China earlier this month to find a donor. Her husband, Owen Wells, said that his wife believed doctors there had found a match.
“For these last 22 months, we've been living in fear that Kailee would take a turn for the worse and there would be nothing we could do about it，” he said.“Now we have something we can use and save our little girl. We are just about ready to start jumping up and down and rejoicing.”
Wells said a Chinese girl who is about a year old has a blood sample that matches Kailee's perfectly. The next step, he said, would be to make sure the sample is safely harvested and protected for transplant, the details of which have yet to be worked out.
Linda Wells first traveled to China in February to try to locate the girl's birth mother, who is likely to be a match. But she found no relatives and decided to try again this month.
“This gives us so much encouragement because now we found what we thought we would never be able to find for Kailee, ”Owen Wells said. “We're going to continue our blood donor drive to try to continue to help as many people as we possibly can. We're just so happy.”
24．What do we know about Kailee Wells?
A．She was adopted by a Chinese family. B．She has a one­year­old sister in China.
C．She was recovering from aplastic anemia. D．She is unable to produce new blood cells.
25．Which word can replace the underlined word “rejoicing” in Paragraph 5 ?
A．Waving. B．Moving. C．Cheering. D．Crying.
26．What can we infer from the text?
A．Linda Wells has found the girl's birth mother.
B．Owen and Linda tried every means to cure Kailee.
C．Doctors have worked out plans to protect the sample.
D．Owen and Linda visited China twice to find a perfect match.
27．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Long and deep friendship between two families B．Faith leads to hope
C．Match found for a bone marrow transplant D．The journey to China
C
The world' s hottest rainforest is located not in the Amazon or anywhere else you might expect, but inside Biosphere(生物圈) 2, the experimental scientific research facility in the desert outside Tucson, Arizona. A recent study of tropical trees planted there in the early 1990s reported a surprising result: They have withstood temperatures higher than any likely to be experienced by tropical forests this century.
The study adds to a growing number of findings that are giving forest scientists something that's been in short supply lately: hope. Plants may have unexpected resources that could help them survive - and perhaps even prosper - in a hotter, more carbon-rich future. And while tropical forests still face both human and natural threats, some researchers believe terrible reports of their approaching decline due to climate change may have been overstated.
“Biology is clever," says Scott Saleska, an ecologist at the University of Arizona in Tucson and co-leader of the Biosphere 2 study. “It' s a lot smarter than our models yet represent. ”
The last few years have seen a flood of arming reports about forests and climate change' s effects on them. Scientists have announced that the Amazon forest is no longer a reliable carbon sink; the Amazon rainforest may be nearing a tipping point; tropical forests globally are already close to the hottest temperatures they can tolerate and climate change is killing off old trees.
One thing is certainly true: Our fossil fuel emissions are creating a climate that humans have never seen and trees haven' t experienced in a very long time.“We’re pushing tropical forests into temperatures they’ve never seen since the Cretaceous 一since there were dinosaurs," says Abigail Swann, an ecologist and climate scientist at the University of Washington in Seattle.
28. Where is the hottest rainforest located according to the article?
A. In the Amazon tropical forest. B. In a research facility in Arizona.
C. In the rainforest in Brazil. D. At the University of Arizona.
29. What can we conclude from the second paragraph?
A. Forest scientists still lack numbers of findings about rainforest.
B. Plants may not survive in hot and carbon rich future than expected.
C. Plants may survive in hotter and more carbon-rich environment.
D. People may overstate the climate change in the future.
30. How will the fossil fuel emissions change the climate?
A. We have never seen the climate change due to greenhouse.
B. The fossil fuel emissions may destroy the whole ecosystem.
C. The temperatures may reach as high as those in dinosaur period.
D. The fossil fuel emissions may create a climate plants can' t bear.
31. What may be the best title of the article?
A. The world' s hottest rainforest in the wild.
B. Plants may die of fossil fuel emissions due to mankind.
C. The Amazon forest is declining quickly in the future.
D. Plants may stand hotter temperature than expected.

D
Teens who have good, supportive relationships with their teachers enjoy better health as adults, according to research published by an American research center.
“This research suggests that improving students' relationships with teachers could have positive and long-lasting effects beyond just academic success," said Jinho Kim, a professor at Korea University and author of the study. "It could also bring about health implications in the long run.”
Previous research has suggested that teens' social relationships might be linked to health outcomes in adulthood. However, it is not clear whether the link between teen relationships and lifetime health is causal （因果的）-it could be that other factors, such as different family backgrounds, might contribute to both relationship problems in adolescence and to poor health in adulthood. Also, most research has focused on teens' relationships with their peers （同龄人）, rather than on their relationships with teachers.
To explore those questions further, Kim analyzed data on nearly 20,000 participants from the Add Health study, a national study in the U.S. that followed participants from seventh grade into early adulthood. The participant pool included more than 3,400 pairs of siblings（兄弟姐妹）. As teens, participants answered questions, like “How often have you had trouble getting along with other students and your teachers?" As adults, participants were asked about their physical and mental health.
Kim found that participants who had reported better relationships with both their peers and teachers in middle and high school also reported better physical and mental health in their mid-20s. However, when he controlled for family background by looking at pairs of siblings together, only the link between good teacher relationships and adult health remained significant.
The results suggest teacher relationships are more important than previously realized and that schools should invest in training teachers on how to build warm and supportive relationships with their students. "This is not something that most teachers receive much training in," Kim said, “but it should be.”
32. What does the underlined word “implications" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Recipes. B. Habits. C. Benefits. D. Risks.
33. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Poor health in adolescence. B. Limitations of the previous research.
C. Teens' relationships with their peers. D. Factors affecting health in adulthood.
34. What does Kim's research show?
A. Good adult health depends on teens' good teachers.
B. Good family background promises long-term adult health.
C. Healthy peer relationships leads to students' academic success.
D. Positive student-teacher relationship helps students' adult health.
35. Where does this text probably come from?
A. A health magazine. B. A medical report.
C. A term paper. D. A family survey.
