a.the wall was raised in the place where the accident happened. b.the player made a telephone call to his father. c.an accident happened to a georgian player. d.people mourned the loss of a young player at the opening ceremony. a.b, c, d, ab. c, b, d, ac. b, c, a, dd. b, a, c, d 34. who should be responsible (负责) for the death of nodar?

a.nodar was at a low speed when the accident happened. b.the team members went back home as soon as they heard the bad news. c.some people think it is easier to get hurt while doing winter games sports. d.the investigators didnt think that nodar made a lot of mistakes.(d)when we have small cuts in the skin, something strange may happen. the cuts are able to heal (痊愈) themselves in several days. how does this happen? read on, and you will find out the secret.every living thing on the earth is made up of cells (细胞). cells grow and make new cells. most cells are very small and we cant see them with our eyes.different cells have different uses. our skin cells are special ones. the cells on the surface of our skin are old dead cells. new skin cells are right under the surface. these are the living skin cells. they do work for our bodies. they help protect our bodies and heal cuts.our bodies make skin cells all the time. as the old cells fall off, new cells grow in the same place. each person makes about 18kg of skin cells during his or her life. surface skin cells fit together closely with no gaps between them. when you cut or burn yourself, you can harm your skin cells. a small cut will not do much harm. your skin will quickly heal itself by making new skin cells. how do skin cells work? first, the cells near the cut get bigger and move into the gap. next, these bigger cells meet in the middle. they form a new layer (层) of skin cells. finally, new cells will grow until the gap disappears completely. in this way, your skin can grow and get well itself.how amazing the small cells are! next time you have a cut, dont worry about it. maybe in a few days, you will be surprised to find it healed.37. whats the chinese meaning of the underlined word “gaps” in the passage? a.突起. b.条纹. c.缝隙. d.阴影.38. from the passage, we know that cells _. a. are large and we can see them with our eyes b. can grow and make new cells c. are only in some living things d. have nothing to do with healing cuts39. which of the following is true according to (按照) the passage?
