by a rare tumor show that such transplants can work and are not medical oddities (怪异)，researchers said.the findings give hope to some people with severe facial disfigurement and suggest the transplants could prove longlasting without major problems.despite the tissue rejection（组织排斥）in the first year after their transplants，neither men had psychological problems accepting their new faces and have been able to rejoin society，they reported.only three people have received face transplants.the worlds first was carried out on french woman isabelle dinoire in november 2005 after she was disfigured in an attack by her dog.in 2007，her doctors reported that she had recovered slowly and steadily，overcoming two periods of rejection.in 2006，chinese doctors performed a face transplant on a 30-year-old hit by a bear.while there were some complications with tissue rejection following the operation，two years later the man was doing well，his doctors said.“this case suggests that facial transplantation might be an option for restoring a severely disfigured face，and could enable patients to bring themselves back into society，” shuzhong guo and colleagues at xijing hospital in china wrote.a french team described their work on a 29-year-old man who suffered from von recklinghausen disease，an illness that changes the shape of his face.“the man，who was not named，was given a new nose，mouth and chin in a 2007 operation.he began to work 13 months after the transplant has more function in his face and has not rejected the new tissue，” his doctors said.“our case confirms that face transplantation is practical and effective for the correction of specific disfigurement，” dr.laurent lantieri and colleagues at the henrimondor hospital outside paris wrote.21.whats the main idea of this passage?a.face transplants can work. b.face transplants help regain confidence.c.three people have received face transplants. d.disfigured people need face transplants.22.what happened to the chinese patient mentioned in the passage?a.he got a strange illness when he was young.b.he received several operations in hospital.c.he was the first person to receive a face transplant.d.he was once attacked by an animal.23.from the passage we can learn that _.a.doctors have different opinions on facial disfigurementb.patients could regain selfconfidence after face transplantsc.the new face of every patient has more functions than expectedd.it is easy for disabled people to be accepted by society24.what problem resulted from the facial operations?a.the patients wouldnt accept the facial change.b.it was hard for the patients to get along with others.c.it took some time for the patients to recover from the operation.d.the patients usually suffered from tissue rejection. bromedoctors and medical groups around the world last weekend reacted with strong opposition to the news that an italian specialist is on the brink of cloning the first human baby.dr.severino antinori，who is the head of a hospital in rome，has been referred to in an arab newspaper as claiming that one of his patients is eight weeks pregnant with a cloned baby.antinori refused to comment on the reports，but in march 2001 he said he hoped to produce a cloned embryo for implantation within two years.so far seven different kinds of mammals have already been successfully cloned，including sheep，cats and most recently rabbits.doctors showed their doubt and were strongly opposed although they admitted that human cloning would finally come true unless there was a worldwide ban on the practice.professor rudolf jaenisch of the whitehead institute for biomedical research at the massachusetts institute of technology said，“i find it astonishing that people do this when the result can be foretold that it will not be a normal baby.it is using humans as guinea pigs.it makes people feel sick.”but ronald green，director of the ethics institute at darmouth college in the us，said it was unlikely that an eight-week-old pregnancy would lead to a birth.so far all cloned animals have suffered from some different serious disorders，many of them dying soon after their births.doctors are opposed to human cloning because they are worried about the welfare of the cloned child if there is one.“there are no benefits of cloning human beings，just harm，” said dr.michael wilks of the uk.25.what do the underlined words “on the brink of” in the first paragraph most probably mean? a.on the side of. b.on the point of. c.in search of. d.in favor of.26.the doctors general attitude to cloning humans according to the passage is that_.a.they are against it b.they support itc.they pay no attention to it d.they welcome it27.what does the underlined word “ban” in the fourth paragraph most probably mean?a.order that forbids cloning. b.suggestion on carrying on cloning.c.anger at cloning. d.cheer for cloning.28.which of the following statements is true according to the passage?a.doctor severino antinori is strongly opposed to cloning human beings.b.up to now，seven kinds of animals have been cloned，including sheep，cats，humans and rabbits.c.professor rudolf jaenisch is carrying out an experiment on cloning an eightweek-old embryo.d.ronald green doubts about the future successful birth of so-called cloned embryo.29.where is the passage probably taken from?a.a textbook. b.a magazine. c.a newspaper. d.a digest.cmarie curie was a polish physicist and chemist who lived between 18671934.together with her husband，pierre，she discovered two new elements (radium and polonium，two

isolating pure radium and determining radiums atomic weight.as a child，marie curie amazed people with her great memory.she learned to read when she was only four years old.her father was a professor of science and the instruments that he kept in a glass case fascinated marie.she dreamed of becoming a scientist，but that would not be easy.her family became very poor，and at the age of 18，marie became a governess.she helped pay for her sister to study in paris.later，her sister helped marie with her education.in 1891，marie attended the sorbonne university in paris where she met and married

all animals get by on their own.some animals form a close partnership with other kinds of animals.these pairings are called symbiotic (共生的) relationships.in a symbiotic relationship，the animals depend on each other.one animal helps the other meet its needs.sounds good，right? not always.some animals are not very kind to their partners.in some cases，one animal meets its needs but hurts its partner.take ticks壁虱，for example.these insects suck blood to live.to get blood，they attach themselves to other kinds of animals.ticks can pass germs that cause disease instead of helping their hosts.in other relationships，animals dont treat their partners so poorly.both animals benefit from living with the other animals.small animals called cleaner shrimps have found a way of helping fish at coral reefs.as their name suggests，the shrimps clean the fish.they hang out at what scientists call a cleaning station.a fish stops by.then a shrimp climbs onto the fish and even steps into the fishs mouth.the shrimp uses its tiny claws to pick stuff off the fishs body.that can include dead skin，tiny pieces of food，and wee creatures that can hurt the fish.the fish gets a nice cleaning.the shrimp enjoys a tasty meal of fish trash.small birds called plovers are also in the cleaning business.they have big customerscrocodiles.crocodiles have long snouts (鼻子) filled with sharp teeth.cleaning them is tricky.when a crocodile opens its mouth，the plover hops right in.the crocodile does not snap its snout shut.instead，it lets the plover eat small，harmful animals attached to the
