Charles Richard Drew’s great invention directly contributed to saving thousands of lives during World WarⅡ and continues to contribute to the life-saving work of the entire world of medicine later.

Born in 1904, Drew was the eldest of five children. He was intelligent and showed a talent for studies and sports from a young age. In 1922, his athletic ability earned him an athletic scholarship to attend Amherst College in Massachusetts. Drew graduated from Amherst College in 1926. In 1928 he applied to medical schools and was admitted to MeGill University in Montreal, Canada. He completed his medical degree and master’s degree in surgery in 1933.

Upon graduation, as an internship (实习生), he began to look at issues related to blood transfusions.

When he began his doctoral studies at Columbia University, with a physician named John Scudder, Drew continued his research in the field of blood transfusion. The two have jointly conducted research into blood preservation and fluid replacement, leading to the development of an experimental blood bank, which ran smoothly for seven months.

Drew’s breakthroughs in blood preservation were timely, as the World War II was raging in Europe at the time. Under Drew’s direction, his team has developed new ways to extract, preserve and transport plasma (血浆) on a large scale.

Following the success of the “Blood for Britain” program, Drew was appointed the assistant director for the US blood banking system. During this time, he built a number of mobile blood donation stations, later known as blood delivery stations.

On April 1, 1950, tragedy struck. Drew was injured in a serious car accident while on his way to a conference and died from his injuries. Many medical colleges and schools have been named after him to honor his contribution.

24. What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A. Drew’s family.      B. Drew’s intelligence.

C. Drew’s early experience.    D. Drew’s contribution.

25. What kind of person is Charles Richard?

A. Strong-willed and ambitious.   B. Sympathetic and tough.

C. Caring and brave.      D. Talented and committed.

26 Why are many colleges and schools named after Charles Richard Drew?

A. Because he has made great contribution to medical science.

B. Because he alone finished the research in the field of blood transfusion.

C. Because his contribution has changed the process of the World War Ⅱ.

D. Because he died in a tragedy car accident on his way to conference.

27. Which category can this article be?

A. A documentary.      B. A novel.

C. A science fiction.     D. A short biography.

C

With needle-like teeth and sharp pointed nose, a gray nurse shark isn’t a creature that most people would want to meet. But Shalise Leesfield isn’t one of them.

The Australian teenager couldn’t think of a better creature to meet when scuba diving off the coast of South West Rocks, near her home in Port Macquarie, a coastal town north of Sydney.

“Many people say gray nurse sharks look frightening, but I think they are the sweetest animals ever,” she says.

The slow-moving sharks, which like to stay near the sea floor in warm, shallow waters, are — for the most part — harmless to humans. But the gray nurse shark is under threat. Populations have fallen and habitats have been lost due to ocean warming and human development, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), which lists the species as seriously endangered.

One area where they can still be seen is Fish Rock, an underwater cavern (洞穴) with a unique ecosystem, 40 miles up the coast from Leesfield’s home. But fishers are allowed access within 200 meters of Fish Rock. This is leading to a drop in the number of gray nurse sharks and increased pollution, says Leesfield. She wants to enlarge the no-fishing area, establishing a protected zone.

With Leesfield’s efforts, the area has been nominated as a Hope Spot, which is part of the mission Blue program launched by famous oceanographer Sylvia Earle that identifies places as critically important to the ocean’s health and supports protection.

“When people think about Hope Spots, they think about Sydney Harbour or the Great Barrier Reef. So to get Fish Rock up on that list is just such incredible news,” she says.

Now, Leesfield is working with politician Cate Faehrmann, marine spokesperson for the Australian Greens party in New South Wales, to legalize protection of the sharks and make the no-fishing zone protected by the law.

28. What does “them” refer to in the first paragraph?

A. Gray nurse sharks.     B. Common people.

C. People fearing gray nurse sharks. D. Fishers.

29. What has led to gray nurse sharks’ being seriously endangered?

A. The development of tourism in the ocean.

B. The sharks’ preference to stay in shallow waters.

C. The feature of gray nurse sharks’ slow-moving.
