Therefore,giving someone,especially an elder,a clock or watch implies your time is up.Kramer later apologized for the mistake,but Ko also came under fire for his response as he told reporters that he had no use for the watch and would sell it for cash.However,some foreigners in China stand by Ko in this particular debate,such as Mark Dreyer,a British citizen who has lived and worked in China since 2007.After all,dont give clocks or watches to your hosts is on page l of most China travel guides.Im embarrassed by the lack of respect shown by the British for not even reading about the customs beforehand.24.What does the underlined word that in Paragraph3 refer to?A.Giving cash. B.Presenting gifts.C.Receiving money. D.Attending weddings.25.How did the public view Kos response to the gift?A.They thought it appropriate. B.They believed he had no other choice.C.They considered it a smart move. D.They saw it as a rude response.26.What was Dreyers attitude to the British Minsters gift to Ko?A.Neutral. B.Doubtful. C.Negative. D.Supportive.CImplanting two embryos during IV（试管受精）can cut the chance of becoming pregnant（怀孕的）by more than a quarter if one of the embryos（胚胎）is in a poorer state of health,new research suggests.Experts behind the research believe that the body tends to focus on the embryo of poorer quality and rejects a possible pregnancy,rather than focusing on the healthy embryo that would lead to successful birth.The research,being presented at the British Fertility Society annual conference in Edinburgh,involved data for 1,472 fresh single and double embryo transfers.Embryos were graded by an embryologist at the time of embryo transfer using a standardized grading system in IVF.The results showed that compared to transferring a single embryo,transferring two embryos where one was of good quality and the other was poor resulted in a 27% lower chance of achieving a pregnancy.Nick Raine-Fenning,medical director and research leader at Nurture Fertility,said,The current feeling is that a good embryo will be recognized by the body and will be seized for implantation.But a poor quality embryo should be rejected by your body.What our research suggests is that if you put a poorer quality embryo back with a good one, its more likely to cut the chance of the good one being implanted.He said,In their first cycle I would absolutely recommend that women-even older women-have one embryo transferred and the other frozen for future transfer.He added,This research shows the importance of quality over quantity.It helps better guide the contribution and risk when considering replacing a second embryo.Most patients understandably expect adding a second embryo will increase or even double their chances but that has never been the case.We hope this research will help hospitals keep their success rates high.27.What is the function of Paragraph 1?A.To arouse readers interest.B.To state the research findings.C.To support a popular belief.D.To give an example.28.What does the underlined word recognized in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Realized B.Agreed C.Understood D.Accepted29.Which statement is true according to the passage?A.Experts believe that the body tends to concentrate on the healthy embryo.B.Transferring two embryos will not necessarily increase the rate of pregnancy.C.Nick considered it ridiculous to expect a higher rate of pregnancy by adding more embryos.D.Nick thought that older women needed to implant more embryos.30.What is the main idea of the passage?A.The importance of quality over quantity in transferring embryos.B.The disadvantages of transferring more embryos.C.The ways to increase the chance of pregnancy.D.The factors affecting the quality of embryos.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。While there has
