a 38-year-old bulgarian, had been paralysed (瘫痪的) from the chest down for four years after a knife attack. scientists from britain and poland took cells from his nose, transplanted (移植) them into his back and re-grew his spinal cord (脊髓). now he can walk and even drive a car. the doctors were delighted but said it was the first step in a long journey. the breakthrough came after 40 years of research by professor geoff raisman, who found that cells had the possibility to repair damage to nasal (鼻腔的) nerves, the only part of the nervous system that constantly re-grows. “the idea was to take something from an area where the nervous system can repair itself, and does so throughout life, and put it into an area that doesnt repair itself,” professor raisman said. polish doctors injected the nasal cells into mr fidykas spinal cord above and below the injury and used some nerves from his ankle to form a bridge across the damaged tissue. the nasal cells appear to have caused the spinal nerves to repair themselves. professor raisman achieved this with rats in the late 1990s, but this is his greatest success. “i think the moment of discovery for me was christmas in 1997 when i first saw a rat that couldnt control its hand put its hand out to me. that was an exciting moment, because i realised then that my belief that the nervous system could be repaired was true.” doctors chose the easiest case for their first attempt it might not work for others. but there is a real sense of hope that an idea once thought impossible has been realised. david nicholls, who helped provide money for the breakthrough, said information about the breakthrough would be made available to researchers across the globe. “what youve got to understand is that for three million paralysed people in the world today, the world looks a totally brighter place than it did yesterday,” he said.28. why did professor geoff raisman choose cells from the nose?a. the nervous system in the nose can repair itself.b. cells in the nose can be easily transplanted.c. cells in the nose re-produce rapidly.d. he just wanted to give it a try.29. why did the operation work for darek fidyka?a. the nasal cells re-produced and spread quickly.b. the nerves from his ankle helped cure the injury.c. the nervous system in the spinal cord can repair itself.d. the nasal cells helped the spinal nerves to repair themselves.30. what made professor geoff raisman believe the nervous system can be repaired?a. his study on animals.b. his operation on a paralysed patient.c. his sudden thoughts about christmas.d. his unusual experience with a sick rat.31. david nicholls words suggest that _. a. the world is becoming better and brighterb. paralysed people have the hope of recoveryc. the report of the breakthrough will be published soond. researchers across the globe will carry out the operationd the regional director of the national heritage conservation commission (国家遗产保护委员会) kagosi mwamulowe said the barotse plains is unique and it deserves to be on the list of the world heritage sites. mr. mwamulowe said the barotse plains deserves to be included on the world heritage list because it has a rich cultural heritage which includes the burial sites of former kings. the director said he hoped that the landscape would be declared as a heritage site next year in june. he also said it was important to protect zambias unique culture for education and entertainment. chief natural heritage officer muyumbwa ndiyoi said there will be a lot of benefits when the barotse landscape is declared a world heritage site because it will attract many tourists and business investments (投资) will increase. mr. ndiyoi said the site will also benefit young people as knowledge will be passed down from generation to generation. he was reacting to a question from nalolo district labour officer jason ngoma who wanted to know how the people of western province will benefit once the barotse landscape is declared a world heritage site. and university of zambia lecturer charles namate said there is a need for the site to be included on the world heritage list because 50 years after its independence zambia only has one heritage site, which is the victoria falls. lecturer namate said the barotse landscape was facing a lot of environmental degradation (恶化), and thats why there is a need to recognize the value of its landscape and the memories of dead kings. the national heritage conservation commission together with the ministry of chiefs and traditional affairs are in western province to hold meetings with heads of government departments. the commission also held closed-door meetings with the litunga lubosi imwiko ii of the barotse royal establishment.32. what do we know about the barotse plains?a. it has royal tombs.b. it is being well protected.c. it is not far from the victoria falls.d. itll be listed as a world heritage site soon.33. mr. ndiyoi believes that if the barotse plains is declared a world heritage site, _.a. it wont benefit the people of western provinceb. it will attract many foreign students and researchersc. it will contribute to the local economic developmentd. more people will start to learn about zambias culture34. in the text, lecturer namate expressed his concern about _.a. the future of the barotse plainsb. the development of western provincec. the development of tourism in zambiad. the environmental problems of the barotse plains35. what can we infer from the text?a. zambia only has two world heritage sites.b. the barotse landscape has been partly destroyed.c. the barotse landscape issue is still being discussed.d. young people in zambia dont know about barotse culture.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 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。coral reefs for millions of years, coral reefs have provided homes and food for thousands of different living things. fish and sea birds share the reef with other sea creatures. now these beautiful places are in danger. 36 scientists have found that people and pollution have ruined more than one-fourth of the earths coral reefs. unless things change, all of the remaining reefs may die within your lifetime. some people think that coral is stone because of its rough, hard surface. but coral is an animal! tiny polyps (水螅体) form the coral reefs. 37 these colours come from the algae (海藻) living inside the coral. billions of coral polyps stick together. new ones grow on the dead corals. this happens year after year. over time, the coral builds up a reef. the reef rises from the ocean floor until it almost reaches the seas surface. it takes coral 500,000 years to build a huge reef. 38 the coral reefs have been harmed in different ways. people have broken off pieces of coral. they wanted to sell or keep them. to catch more fish, people have dropped sticks of dynamite (炸药) into the water. 39 water pollution has encouraged overgrowth of the sea plants that grow near coral reefs. they block out the sunlight that the algae need. 40 warm water kills the algae. when the algae die, the coral loses both its food and its color. the coral turns white and dies. scientists call this coral bleaching (珊瑚白化). the bleached part of the coral reef cannot recover.a. they come in many colours.b. this has blown up parts of the reefs.c. so are all the sea plants and animals that depend on them.d. the worst problem is the heating up of the worlds oceans. e. coral reefs are experiencing a rapid increase in most locations.f. however, it has taken human beings less than 100 years to destroy the reefs.g. they cover less than 1% of the ocean floor, but support about 25% of sea creatures.第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 a special lady lived on a farm in grace, idaho. to overcome every 41 or struggle that came
