Ouarzazate is a desert town at the foot of the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, Africa, which attracts
Hollywood and European film makers for its varied scenery and picture-perfect locations（位置）. Its Kasbah, with its red and brown mud houses and narrow streets, is one of these locations. It's been chosen by many US and British movie makers as a location for big-budget films such as Gladiators and Kingdom of Heaven.
The cinema has brought a lot to Ouarzazate, whose people may work as technicians, sound engineers or decorators, but they are mainly given unimportant roles as extras. Mbarka, her husband, and their five children have all appeared in Western films as extras. Mbarka has been in so many
Hollywood films over the past 20 years that she cannot remember most of them. She doesn't even know the name of the last one she appeared in.
“I was in the film for 15 days. My son, Azzedine, knows its name, ”said Mbarka. It's unnecessary to remember that. After all, it's not that she likes the industry, but that she makes a living from it.
Kingdom of Heaven, a $180 million US production, provided eight months of work for 2800
Ouarzazate people. "When the cinema comes here, people are happy, "said Azzedine who has appeared in movies since he was seven. When there's no movie in town, his mother sells sandwiches in the local market, but he doesn't seek any other job or go to school to improve his skills, not wanting to miss a film opportunity though he's not well paid. In fact, inexperienced Moroccan extras get as little as $15 per day. Still, the money isn't bad considering the average salary in Ouarzazate is about $6 a day. Those with experience earn more; they get about $24 per day or as much as $60. Inexperienced European extras, on the other hand, get about $40 per day. This has led to complaints of discrimination by some Ouarzazate people.
24. What can be learnt about Mbarka?
A. She is a senior extra.
B. She loves making films.
C. She's left show business.
D. She has been forgetful.
25. What does Azzedine do when there's no movie work?
A. He learns hard to be a real actor.
B. He always goes out to work.
C. He deliberately remains jobless.
D. He helps his mother in a market.
26. What's Ouarzazate people's attitude to the arrival of the foreign film industry?
A. Tolerant.
B. Favorable.
C. Unwilling.
D. Carefree.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To promote two big-budget films.
B. To introduce the extras' situations.
C. To recommend an African Hollywood.
D. To call for an end to pay discrimination.
C
Bus stops across the United Kingdom（UK） and Europe are getting living roofs. They are called bee bus stops.
Bees and other pollinators（传粉者）like butterflies help grow plants, such as flowers, trees, and crops. When these insects visit flowers, they collect pollen-a yellow powder in the center of most flowers. Without bees or other insects bringing pollen from one flower to another, many plants couldn't produce seeds or grow fruits or vegetables. But as humans have taken over more and more land for cities, roads, and farms, more natural areas have disappeared. The Wildlife Trusts, a group which works to protect wildlife in the UK, says that insect numbers there have dropped by 50% since 1970.
Then bee bus stops are born. The advertising company Clear Channel is working with the Wildlife Trusts and city governments to set up bee bus stops in cities across the UK. They are like ordinary bus shelters, but small gardens have been added to the roofs. The gardens are filled with flowers and plants chosen to attract bees and butterflies. Even though the gardens are small, together they add up to a much larger area.
Because the soil for the rooftop garden is heavy, especially when it rains, the bus shelters need to be sturdy. The rooftop gardens need to be cleaned about twice a year. But other than that, not much is needed to keep the gardens going. This summer was a little different, because of the extreme heat.
Clear Channel that already has similar bee bus stop programs in several countries in Europe is working with local governments to build at least 1, 000 bee bus stops in the UK. Research shows that these bus stops, along with many other steps taken to support pollinators, are helping. After decades of dropping numbers, bee populations in Europe have become more stable over the last few years.
28. What is paragraph 2 mainly about concerning pollinators?
A. Their ways of life.
B. Their importance.
C. Their daily behavior.
D. Their living environment.
29. What are bee bus stops intended for?
A. Beautifying the crowded cities.
B. Offering insects islands of nature.
C. Introducing eco-friendly products.
D. Drawing attention to climate change.
30. What does the underlined word “sturdy" in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Strong.
B. Large.
C. Clean.
D. Attractive.
31. Which of the following best describes the bee bus stop program?
A. Costly.
B. Controversial.
C. Demanding.
D. Successful.
D
For years, doctors have given blood to patients who need it to survive. These transfusions usually include giving red blood cells to patients.
Blood transfusions aren't as simple as taking blood from one person and giving it to someone else. There're several different blood types that don't all mix well. If someone gets a transfusion of the wrong kind of blood, their body will reject the blood cells, causing problems. For the first time ever, scientists from the University of Bristol, Britain, are carrying out a new trail: testing red blood cells grown in a laboratory on human volunteers. The scientists have used stem cells（干细胞） from a blood sample to grow billions of brand new red blood cells.
This could be even better than a regular blood transfusion. For one thing, they can be adjusted for people with different blood types. That'll be extremely helpful for people with rare blood types. Also, a normal transfusion has red blood cells of all different ages, which means only a small part of them are brand new. The red blood cells grown in the lab are brand new, and this means they last longer and that patients will need fewer transfusions.
To test its safety, researchers have given a couple of teaspoons of the blood to two healthy people, both of whom seem to be doing just fine after the transfusions. In all, they'll be tested on 10 people, and compared to normal transfusions. The new process doesn't indicate that normal blood transfusions will disappear. Meanwhile, growing red blood cells in a lab is extremely expensive. And a lot of work and testing still need to be done. But if it's successful, the process could make life much easier for patients who often need transfusions-even those with rare blood types.
32. What is special about the red blood cells in the experiment?
A. They're given by those with rare blood types.
B. They're collected from seriously ill patients.
C. They're specifically for a single blood type.
D. They've never existed in any human bodies.
33. What is the disadvantage of normal blood transfusion?
A. Blood reserves are often inadequate.
B. It often takes the patient a lot of time.
C. Most normal blood cells don't live long.
D. It's unfit for those with rare blood types.
34. What can be inferred about the new process of red blood cells?
A. It will have a long way to go.
B. It'll replace normal transfusions.
C. It will separate rare blood types.
D. It'll reduce blood research costs.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Blood Transfusions Get Easier
B. Rare Blood Types Are Not Rare
C. Rare Blood Cells Need Donating
D. Scientists Test Lab-created Blood

In the early twentieth century, the USA and Germany produced powerful microscopes in large numbers for export around the world.
Nowadays, scientists still use microscopes that use light to see small objects such as cells and micro-organisms. __40__. These electron microscopes have a magnification（放大） of a million times and now we can see molecules（分子）and atoms.
A. They used several lenses together in a tube
B. Microscopes were expensive in their early days
C. Before this time, people made the lenses by hand
D. They made many important discoveries for mankind by using it
E. The word microscope comes from the New Latin word microscopium
F. But they also have so powerful microscopes that use a different technology

Ouarzazate is a desert town at the foot of the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, Africa, which attracts
Hollywood and European film makers for its varied scenery and picture-perfect locations（位置）. Its Kasbah, with its red and brown mud houses and narrow streets, is one of these locations. It's been chosen by many US and British movie makers as a location for big-budget films such as Gladiators and Kingdom of Heaven.
The cinema has brought a lot to Ouarzazate, whose people may work as technicians, sound engineers or decorators, but they are mainly given unimportant roles as extras. Mbarka, her husband, and their five children have all appeared in Western films as extras. Mbarka has been in so many
Hollywood films over the past 20 years that she cannot remember most of them. She doesn't even know the name of the last one she appeared in.
“I was in the film for 15 days. My son, Azzedine, knows its name, ”said Mbarka. It's unnecessary to remember that. After all, it's not that she likes the industry, but that she makes a living from it.
Kingdom of Heaven, a $180 million US production, provided eight months of work for 2800
Ouarzazate people. "When the cinema comes here, people are happy, "said Azzedine who has appeared in movies since he was seven. When there's no movie in town, his mother sells sandwiches in the local market, but he doesn't seek any other job or go to school to improve his skills, not wanting to miss a film opportunity though he's not well paid. In fact, inexperienced Moroccan extras get as little as $15 per day. Still, the money isn't bad considering the average salary in Ouarzazate is about $6 a day. Those with experience earn more; they get about $24 per day or as much as $60. Inexperienced European extras, on the other hand, get about $40 per day. This has led to complaints of discrimination by some Ouarzazate people.
24. What can be learnt about Mbarka?
A. She is a senior extra.
B. She loves making films.
C. She's left show business.
D. She has been forgetful.
25. What does Azzedine do when there's no movie work?
A. He learns hard to be a real actor.
B. He always goes out to work.
C. He deliberately remains jobless.
D. He helps his mother in a market.
26. What's Ouarzazate people's attitude to the arrival of the foreign film industry?
A. Tolerant.
B. Favorable.
C. Unwilling.
D. Carefree.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To promote two big-budget films.
B. To introduce the extras' situations.
C. To recommend an African Hollywood.
D. To call for an end to pay discrimination.
C
Bus stops across the United Kingdom（UK） and Europe are getting living roofs. They are called bee bus stops.
Bees and other pollinators（传粉者）like butterflies help grow plants, such as flowers, trees, and crops. When these insects visit flowers, they collect pollen-a yellow powder in the center of most flowers. Without bees or other insects bringing pollen from one flower to another, many plants couldn't produce seeds or grow fruits or vegetables. But as humans have taken over more and more land for cities, roads, and farms, more natural areas have disappeared. The Wildlife Trusts, a group which works to protect wildlife in the UK, says that insect numbers there have dropped by 50% since 1970.
Then bee bus stops are born. The advertising company Clear Channel is working with the Wildlife Trusts and city governments to set up bee bus stops in cities across the UK. They are like ordinary bus shelters, but small gardens have been added to the roofs. The gardens are filled with flowers and plants chosen to attract bees and butterflies. Even though the gardens are small, together they add up to a much larger area.
Because the soil for the rooftop garden is heavy, especially when it rains, the bus shelters need to be sturdy. The rooftop gardens need to be cleaned about twice a year. But other than that, not much is needed to keep the gardens going. This summer was a little different, because of the extreme heat.
Clear Channel that already has similar bee bus stop programs in several countries in Europe is working with local governments to build at least 1, 000 bee bus stops in the UK. Research shows that these bus stops, along with many other steps taken to support pollinators, are helping. After decades of dropping numbers, bee populations in Europe have become more stable over the last few years.
28. What is paragraph 2 mainly about concerning pollinators?
A. Their ways of life.
B. Their importance.
C. Their daily behavior.
D. Their living environment.
29. What are bee bus stops intended for?
A. Beautifying the crowded cities.
B. Offering insects islands of nature.
C. Introducing eco-friendly products.
D. Drawing attention to climate change.
30. What does the underlined word “sturdy" in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Strong.
B. Large.
C. Clean.
D. Attractive.
31. Which of the following best describes the bee bus stop program?
A. Costly.
B. Controversial.
C. Demanding.
D. Successful.
D
For years, doctors have given blood to patients who need it to survive. These transfusions usually include giving red blood cells to patients.
Blood transfusions aren't as simple as taking blood from one person and giving it to someone else. There're several different blood types that don't all mix well. If someone gets a transfusion of the wrong kind of blood, their body will reject the blood cells, causing problems. For the first time ever, scientists from the University of Bristol, Britain, are carrying out a new trail: testing red blood cells grown in a laboratory on human volunteers. The scientists have used stem cells（干细胞） from a blood sample to grow billions of brand new red blood cells.
This could be even better than a regular blood transfusion. For one thing, they can be adjusted for people with different blood types. That'll be extremely helpful for people with rare blood types. Also, a normal transfusion has red blood cells of all different ages, which means only a small part of them are brand new. The red blood cells grown in the lab are brand new, and this means they last longer and that patients will need fewer transfusions.
To test its safety, researchers have given a couple of teaspoons of the blood to two healthy people, both of whom seem to be doing just fine after the transfusions. In all, they'll be tested on 10 people, and compared to normal transfusions. The new process doesn't indicate that normal blood transfusions will disappear. Meanwhile, growing red blood cells in a lab is extremely expensive. And a lot of work and testing still need to be done. But if it's successful, the process could make life much easier for patients who often need transfusions-even those with rare blood types.
32. What is special about the red blood cells in the experiment?
A. They're given by those with rare blood types.
B. They're collected from seriously ill patients.
C. They're specifically for a single blood type.
D. They've never existed in any human bodies.
33. What is the disadvantage of normal blood transfusion?
A. Blood reserves are often inadequate.
B. It often takes the patient a lot of time.
C. Most normal blood cells don't live long.
D. It's unfit for those with rare blood types.
34. What can be inferred about the new process of red blood cells?
A. It will have a long way to go.
B. It'll replace normal transfusions.
C. It will separate rare blood types.
D. It'll reduce blood research costs.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Blood Transfusions Get Easier
B. Rare Blood Types Are Not Rare
C. Rare Blood Cells Need Donating
D. Scientists Test Lab-created Blood

根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A microscope is a scientific instrument that reveals objects which are normally too small for the human eyes to see. Microscopes use several lenses（镜片） to provide a large image of a tiny object and they have been important in the study of biology.
__36 __. People noticed that single lenses could make objects larger and also that they could focus the sun's rays to start a fire. These early lenses were called burning glasses. This led to the development of eye-glasses or spectacles in the early 1300s.
In the late 1500s, two Dutch spectacle makers, Hans and Zaccharias Janssen, invented the first true microscope. __ 37 __, and they were surprised to discover that they could make objects look many times bigger. Galileo, an Italian scientist, improved the quality of the lenses to produce better quality microscopes and telescopes.
Anthony Leeuwenhoek（1632-1723） and Robert Hooke（1635-1703） were two early users of the microscope. __38__. Leeuwenhoek discovered bacteria and showed how a drop of water is full of living creatures. Robert Hooke wrote a book Micrographia which described this new world of micro- organisms with drawings that amazed the world.
For two hundred years, there was little development of the microscope until new industrial techniques produced accurate and powerful lenses. __39__, so they were often inaccurate. In the early twentieth century, the USA and Germany produced powerful microscopes in large numbers for export around the world.
Nowadays, scientists still use microscopes that use light to see small objects such as cells and micro-organisms. __40__. These electron microscopes have a magnification（放大） of a million times and now we can see molecules（分子）and atoms.
A. They used several lenses together in a tube
B. Microscopes were expensive in their early days
C. Before this time, people made the lenses by hand
D. They made many important discoveries for mankind by using it
E. The word microscope comes from the New Latin word microscopium
F. But they also have so powerful microscopes that use a different technology
G. The discovery of glass over 2000 years ago led to early experiments with lenses
