It was my habit to spend a couple of hours maintaining(保养) my truck on Saturdays. As I was under the truck greasing(上油

26、) it, I noticed the owners elderly father making his way over to his grandsons truck next to mine. The old man was in his high eighties, had been a fishing-lover all his life, and had come out to ask the kid to take him fishing after work. The grandson told him all about how much he would love to do

27、 that, but he just couldnt that day due to his tasks. The old man accepted the answer and slowly went off to the house. A few minutes later, the father came out and asked his son what the old man had wanted. After telling the story, the kid ended it with telling his dad, "Im not taking that old

28、 man fishing! Its worse than taking a kid." That just broke my heart. I quit working immediately and got everything ready for fishing as quickly as I could. After that, I went to knock on the door and invited him fishing. Two weeks later, the old man died. His family told me later that all he t

32、n before the end of the year. He is an expert on human copying and raising from the University of Kentucky in the United States.His workers have been stopped from carrying out research in most European Union countries, but Zavos said that fact was not slowing progress.“It is going well enough so we

33、may try the first production of cloned embryos (胚胎) in the very near future. That is, three or four months from now,” Cypriot-born Zavos said. He moved to the United States over 30 years ago.Human cloning could, in effect, create a copy of another living or dead person.But Zavos insisted there was n

34、othing harmful in the project. As an expert on human reproduction, he said he is only interested in helping couples who cannot naturally have babies to have a child. “We are not interested in cloning people like Bin Laden, Michael Jackson or Michael Jordan,” the doctor added.“We are only interested

35、in helping a father who does not have the ability to have a biological child of his own.”Zavos said thousands of childless people from all over the world are helping in their research. He would not say where the research is under way, but indicated that it is in more than one country.59. Which is th

36、e best title for this news report? A. Dr. Panayiotis Zavos Plan B. Nothing Harmful in Human Cloning C. First Human Clone May Arrive Soon D. Good News for Childless People60.

He just made a joke about Dolly the Sheep.CIt was an early September day, cool and bright and just right for running, and I was in the first few miles of a 1

40、0-mile race over a course with a few high hills. Still, I felt energetic; despite the hills it was going to be a fine run.Just ahead of me was Peggy Mimno, a teacher from Mount Kiseo, New York. She was also running easily, moving along at my speed. The pace felt comfortable, so I decided to stay whe

41、re I was; Why pay attention to pace when she was setting such a nice one? Id overtake (追上) her later on when she was tired.So I ran behind her. The course headed north for miles, wandered west for a hilly mile, then turned south again along a winding road. The race was getting harder. We had four mi

42、les left and already it was beginning to be real work.Peggy overtook a young runner. She seemed to know him, for they exchanged a few cheerful words as she passed him. Their exchange worried me. You dont chat during a race unless you are feeling good, and Peggy simply was.Still, I was close enough t

43、o overtake her if she was tired, so I didnt give up hope completely. We were getting nearer to a long, punishing hill now and it would be the test. We were a mile from the finish line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost determine who crossed it first.As I moved up the hill, my attention w

44、andered for a few minutes. When I looked up, Peggy was moving away first five yards, then ten, then more. Finally it was clear that there was no hope of catching her. She beat me soundly.There is an important lesson in that race. Women are thought to be weaker, slower and not nearly as skilled in sp

45、orts. Yet as Peggy Mimno so clearly showed, the similarities between men and women runners are more important than differeces. I have run with a number of women, and I can say it is often hard work.63. What did the writer think of the race in the beginning? A. It would be hard work. B. It would be a

46、n easy race. C. It would be a test of his strength. D. It would be a good learning experience.64 What worried the writer when Peggy greeted the young runner? A. Peggy overtook the young runner. B. Peggy was running energetically. C. Peggy was laughing at the writer. D. Peggy paid no attention to the

47、 writer.65. By saying “a long, punishing hill” (paragraph 5), the writer implies that _. A. Peggy would fail to reach the hilltop B. men are more skilled at climbing hills C. overtaking Peggy would be easy D. climbing the hill would be a demanding task66. What lesson does the writer learn from the r

48、ace? A. Women are as good as men in sports. B. Women are better at climbing hills. C. He should have more training in a cross-country race. D. He should set a quicker pace at the beginning of a race.DWhy do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that

49、mens hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that womens longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.“We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 per

50、cent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.“Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Goldspin

51、k. “This is part of the ageing process.”What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old womans heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old ones.“This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said Gold

52、spink.They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart, said Goldspink.The good news is that men can improve the health o

53、f their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.67. The underlined word “longevity” in the second paragraph probably refers to _. A. health B. long life C. ageing D. effect68. The passa

54、ge mainly tells of _. A. mens heart cells B. womens ageing process C. the gender differenceD. hearts and long life69. If you want to live longer, you should _. A. enable your heart to beat much faster B. find out the reason for ageing C. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthy D. prevent your cells from being lost70. We can know from the passage that _. A. the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found out B. scientists are on the way to finding ou
