But originally, much of the medicine developed in the last century came from natural sources: plants or bacteria. Now, a group of scientists in Great Britain are hoping to develop a medicine from poisonous insects. They are researching whether the deadly venom（毒液）of some insects can work against bacteria.Venom tech laboratoryAbout 400 insects live in plastic containers in the Venomtech laboratory. Each container has an image of a skull and crossbones. The images warn that a bite from the insects inside can be anything from painful to deadly.The venom from these insects contains hundreds of chemical components. Each component has a different target and effect. Medical researchers separate the venom into its component parts. Then they create a library of those components, looking for the ones that could be turned into new drugs.“Some of them we found can kill bacteria, like E Coli, so theyre very relevant at the moment where modern medicines are failing. And were also finding venom that is changing and killing cancer cells.”Finding new ways to kill bacteria is important to researchers. One reason is that people have used antibiotics (抗生素)so much that some bacteria can now resist it. For example, tuberculosis used to be curable with antibiotics. Now it is not.How do they get the venom out? To get as much venom as possible, researchers feed the insects well and then put them to sleep temporarily. Steven Trim of Venomtech says researchers anaesthetize the insects to make removing the venom safer. After all, an immobile insect cannot bite. Researchers then electrically stimulate the insect to contract(收缩)the muscle and squeeze the gland(腺). The pressure produces a small amount of venom.Researchers separate the venom into hundreds of proteins. Each protein contains between one and five different molecules (分子). Someday, those tiny molecules might be turned into powerful new drugs.1. The skull and crossbones images in plastic containers are used to_.A. warn people B. comfort peopleC. frighten people D. encourage people2. What does the underlined word “anaesthetize” probably mean?A. To kill something dangerous. B. To remove something harmful.C. To protect something beneficial. D. To make something unconscious.3. What can we learn from the research?A. Tuberculosis is curable with antibiotics.B. The venom from the insects can cure cancer diseases.C. Some of the components from venom can kill bacteria.D. The chemical components from venom can be turned into new drugs.4. The researchers get venom from poisonous insects by _.A. making them sleep for some time B. squeezing the gland containing antibioticsC. separating the venom into proteins D. stimulating the insects to relax the muscleBA woman was walking her dog along a beach in New Zealand in late June when she saw something that looked like a white ball in the sand. It turned out to be a young Emperor Penguin that was lost. At his age，he should have been close to the Antarctic，swimming for fish and playing on the ice floes(冰川)But this penguin started swimming north and just kept going.The penguin attracted a lot of attention in New Zealand. It has been 40 years since an Emperor Penguin was last seen there. Researchers at the Department of Conservation were called in. They decided to watch the penguin closely，but not to disturb it in any way. Many New Zealanders came to Peka Peka Beach to look at the elegant penguin. They were careful to keep their dogs away from him so he wouldnt be frightened.The public nicknamed the animal Happy Feet. Researchers started to notice that Happy Feet didnt seem well. It turned out that he had been eating the sand from the beach，likely thinking it was snow.The public raised more than 11,000 pounds for an operation to get the sand out of his stomach. The operation was a success，and Happy Feet was taken to a zoo in Wellington，NZ.A group of experts met to decide how to help Happy Feet return to the wild.Last Sunday，they put him on a boat called the Tangaroa，in a specially built icefilled box and took him out into the Southern Ocean，southeast of New Zealand. There，they released him into the ocean，which is his natural habitat. He took one last look at his human helpers and then dived into the ocean.“Emperor Penguins spend their first five years at sea，” said Peter Simpson of New Zealands Department of Conservation.“What happens now is up to the penguin.”Happy Feet was fitted with a satellite transmitter(发射机) so they can monitor his progress using the Internet. So far，the trackers show that he swam northeast for a little while before getting his bearings and heading south.5.Where is the young penguin supposed to appear?A On the sunny beach. B Inside the hole in the ice.C Near the Antarctic. D In the depths of the ocean.6.How was the penguin treated after he was found in New Zealand?A He was protected well and taken good care of.B He was sent to the local zoo and attracted much attention.C He was taken to the lab by researchers for study.D He was disturbed by many curious New Zealanders.7.The public collected some money to.A do some research on the penguin B build a home for the penguinC get the sand out of the penguins belly D return the penguin to his habitat8.What happened to the penguin in the end according to the passage?A He was put in a specially built icefilled box on a boat.B He was brought to the Southern Ocean and released.C He reached his homeThe Antarctic.D He swam northeast from the Southern Ocean.CThe TV sciencefiction seriesStarTrekno longer looked farfetched(牵强的) as four men and four women in black spacesuits locked themselves into a giant hitech greenhouse，known as a “biosphere”，in the Arizona desert yesterday for a twoyear study of the environment.As dawn broke over the Santa Catalina mountains，the eight waved goodbye to television cameras. Edward Ross，their multibillionaire sponsor from a Texas oil family，closed the door of the $150 million structure，with its miniocean，marsh，desert，savanna，rainforest and 3,800 plant and animal species designed to allow the team to recreate the Earth and its ecosystems.The socalled Biosphere 2 is the latest one of a dozen environmental projects started by the selftitled “ecopreneur”The projects main aim is to set up a selfsustaining community for possible use in a spaceship or on another planet. The crew members must plant，harvest and process their food on a halfacre farm in the sevenstorey glass and metal structure，while conducting a series of experiments.“We will be custodians(监护人) of our new little world，” said Abigail Mayer，aged 31，a US marine biologist on the team，her voice choking with emotion.“It is a brave new step.” Many scientists，however，are more than skeptical. They point out that the largest closed ecosystem which survived more than a few days was smaller than a football. It was developed at the University of Miami and contained only shrimp，algae and other microorganisms.Critics have also accused Mr Ross of being more interested in producing a profitable theme park than in carrying out serious scientific research. Hundreds of tourists visited the site daily in summer before it was occupied by the team. They paid $9.95 to enter and all stopped at the souvenir shop.9.Whats the location of the project?A Texas. B University of Miami. C Arizona desert. D The space.10.What can we infer from the passage?A There is a scene in StarTrek where four men and four women locked themselves into a giant greenhouse.B All the species of plants and animals on the Earth were brought into the greenhouse.C Mr. Ross made tourists stop at the souvenir shop to gain profits.D Many scientists are doubtful whether this system can last long enough.11.Whats the authors attitude towards the project?A Critical. B Neutral. C Skeptical. D Supportive.DAn Israeli law banning too skinny models went into effect with the start of 2020. The law, approved last March in Israel, requires models to prove they have maintained a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 18.5 for three months before a fashion show. That means a woman who is 68 inches tall can weigh no less than 119 pounds.“This law is another step in the war against eating disorders,” said physician Adatto. “Underweight models,” he explained, “can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny.”But some critics in this country say it is misguided, focusing on weight instead of health. They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry. “I think its an approach that isnt going to work.” said eating disorder expert Susan Ice, who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models.But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an ambitious model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized. He said. “I realized that only legislation(立法) can change the situation. There was no time to waste; so many girls were dieting to death.”However, the efforts to regulate models weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in significant changes in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health.Still, folks including Ice say theres no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with. “Certainly I dont believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders, but it makes it harder,” she says. “Its a difficult recovery environment, worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal.”12. One benefit the new Israeli law may bring is _.A. to change the working conditions of modelsB. to lower the chance of skinny models deathC. to provide guidance for women worshiping thinnessD. to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders13. In the opinion of the critics, the law wont succeed because _.A. it misleads young women to form a bad eating habitB. the fashion industry is much too influentialC. it doesnt create a healthy working environment for modelsD. it doesnt provide a proper approach that can work well14. What caused Adatto to think that a law was needed to change the situation?A. Being interviewed by a reporter.B. Establishing his fashion model agent.C. Meeting an ambitious but too skinny model.D. Seeing a model die from eating disorders.15. According to the passage, the new Israeli law banning skinny models is _ .A. practical B. controversial C. acceptable D. reasonable第二节：七选五（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。An apology tells someone that were sorry for the hurt we causedeven if we didnt do it on purpose.
