【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据关于Baths of Diocletian Museum的描述“It shows the grandeur of ancient Roman architecture as it’s situated within the remains of the baths(由于它位于浴场遗址内,它展现了古罗马建筑的宏伟)”可知,这个博物馆的特别之处在于它位于遗址内。故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Capitoline Museum”部分“It was founded in 1471(它建于1471年)”可知Capitoline Museum建立于1471年;根据“Baths of Diocletian Museum”部分“It was built around the ruins of the ancient baths in 1998 (它于1998年围绕古浴场的废墟而建)”可知Baths of Diocletian Museum建立于1998年;根据“Palazzo Massimo alle Terme”部分“It was established in 1889 (它建于1889年)”可知Palazzo Massimo alle Terme建立于1889年;根据“Ara Pacis Museum”部分“It’s eight years younger than Baths of Diocletian Museum (它比Baths of Diocletian Museum晚8年建立)”可知Ara Pacis Museum比Baths of Diocletian Museum晚8年建立,即2006年建立。所以四个博物馆中第二古老的是Palazzo Massimo alle Terme。故选B项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Rome is famous for its numerous museums. Here’re four of them.( 罗马以其众多博物馆而闻名。以下是其中四个)”以及“Capitoline Museum”部分“There’re a great number of ancient Roman sculptures, including the famous Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius (那里有许多古罗马雕像,包括著名的马可·奥勒留骑马像)”、“Baths of Diocletian Museum”部分“It shows the grandeur of ancient Roman architecture as it’s situated within the remains of the baths.

B
Five years ago I was in Berlin for a few months, and my friend Michael invited me to a gathering of his friends at a neighborhood restaurant. It seemed like a typical bar — until one of the guys planted a little flag on the table: a symbol for their group.
Back home in D. C. , I found myself thinking recently of Stammtisch. I mentioned it to a German friend, Amrai, as we walked around the zoo with our kids, admiring the goats and alpacas. Amra i laughed and said, “You know there’s a Stammtisch in D. C.? It’s mostly Germans.” I decided to attend it one cold December evening at a restaurant, where I was greeted by a warm atmosphere and lively conversations. The gathering’s organizer, Andrea Shalal, described the classic Stammtisch, “A Stammtisch means regulars’ table. It’s an age-old German tradition where a group of like-minded people — traditionally men — meet up at a restaurant at a regular time to have drinks and chat. In every German village, there is the corner bar, and in the corner is a table. It’s reserved for the sort of elders or other regulars.”
“Growing up in the 1980s, 1990s, early 2000s, the idea of Stammtisch in Germany’s youth was sort of rejected as ‘This is something that our parents’ generation, our grandparents’ generation, would do’,” said Robert Christoffel,45. But he’s noticed that’s starting to change. ‘A lot of my friends, nowadays, in Germany — maybe because they have gotten a little older as well — they are now meeting up and sort of establishing Stammtisch,” he told me.
In modern life, as fewer people go to church, these gatherings can take on even more significance. Werner Hein, who’s 80 years old, described the Stammtisch this way, “That’s a place where you meet in person. You open up on things, on your very personal things,” Hein said. “Nowadays, I have to almost say it’s more important than ever to have a kind of Stammtisch.”
4. Why did one of the guys plant the little flag?
A. To mark the group. B. To follow the tradition.
C. To make it decorative. D. To draw others’ attention.
5. What did the author learn about the Stammtisch from Andrea Shalal?
A. Its root. B. Its concept.
C. Its expansion. D. Its reform.
6. How do young Germans view the Stammtisch now?
A They consider it a fashion. B. They gradually take to it.
C. They advocate for it firmly. D. They stay unconcerned about it.
7. Which might Werner Hein agree with regarding the Stammtisch?
A. It lacks authenticity. B. It demands formality.
C. It’s as vital as the church. D. It aids deep communication.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章围绕德国传统的 Stammtisch(常客聚会)展开。先是作者在柏林见识其存在,后在华盛顿特区参与相关聚会。介绍了它作为定期社交聚会的传统形式,提及年轻人对它的态度转变,还阐述了长者眼中其利于深入交流的意义,展现了这一传统随时代变迁的社交价值。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It seemed like a typical bar — until one of the guys planted a little flag on the table: a symbol for their group(这看起来就像一个典型的酒吧——直到其中一个人在桌子上插了一面小旗子:他们团体的象征)”可知,插小旗是作为他们群体的一个标志,也就是用来标记这个群体的。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“A Stammtisch means regulars’ table. It’s an age-old German tradition where a group of like-minded people — traditionally men — meet up at a restaurant at a regular time to have drinks and chat. (Stammtisch的意思是常客餐桌。这是一个古老的德国传统,一群志同道合的人(传统上是男性)定期在餐厅聚会喝酒聊天。)”可推知,此处是在阐释 Stammtisch的概念,介绍了其是怎样一种聚会形式。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。第三段““Growing up in the 1980s, 1990s, early 2000s, the idea of Stammtisch in Germany’s youth was sort of rejected as ‘This is something that our parents’ generation, our grandparents’ generation, would do’,” said Robert Christoffel,45. But he’s noticed that’s starting to change. ‘A lot of my friends, nowadays, in Germany — maybe because they have gotten a little older as well — they are now meeting up and sort of establishing Stammtisch,” he told me.(“在 20 世纪 80 年代、90 年代和 2000 年代初期成长的德国年轻人中,斯塔姆蒂施的想法在某种程度上被拒绝了,因为‘这是我们父母那一代、我们祖父母那一代会做的事情’,”45 岁的罗伯特·克里斯托费尔 (Robert Christoffel) 说。但他注意到这种情况开始发生变化。 “我的很多朋友,现在在德国——也许是因为他们也年纪大了一些——他们现在聚在一起,建立了 Stammtisch,”他告诉我。)”谈到:以前德国年轻人排斥它,但现在情况改变了, 即他们现在逐渐开始接受、喜欢它了。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“That’s a place where you meet in person. You open up on things, on your very personal things(那是你们见面的地方。你对事情、对你非常个人的事情敞开心扉,)”可推知, Werner Hein认为 Stammtisch 是人们可以敞开心扉交流个人事情的地方,也就是有助于深入交流。故选D。
C
Scientists have a simple message recently: stop messing with the landscape of the Arctic.
They’ve discovered that planting trees in the Arctic could actually speed up global warming rather than help fight against it. The study comes at a critical time, as various regions, including Alaska, Greenland, and Iceland, have begun carrying out or considering large-scale tree-planting projects in their northern territories. The problem lies in a phenomenon known as the albedo effect-the ability of surfaces to reflect sunlight back into space. The snow-covered ground in the Arctic reflects about 75% of incoming sunlight, while dark evergreen trees reflect only about 10%. This difference means that replacing open plains in Arctic regions with forests actually traps more heat in the Earth’s system, despite the trees’ ability to capture (捕获) carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
However, the issues don’t stop there. When trees are planted in Arctic regions, they disturb the soil, which in these areas serves as one of Earth’s largest carbon banks. The Arctic’s permanently frozen soils contain more carbon than all the world’s plant life combined does. When this soil is disturbed by tree planting and root growth, it gives off stored carbon into the atmosphere, further contributing to global warming.
“Soils in the Arctic store more carbon than all vegetation on Earth,” explains lead author Jeppe Kristensen, an assistant professor from Aarhus University. “These soils are extremely sensitive to disturbances. For example, they are affected when people plant trees or conduct agricultural activities there, or when tree roots grow into the soil.”
The research team also found that trees in these regions face significant survival challenges. As climate change intensifies, these areas are experiencing more frequent wildfires, droughts, and pest outbreaks. When trees are overcome by these disturbances, any carbon they’ve stored is released back into the atmosphere. This nullifies the possible advantages they could offer as a means of capturing carbon, making the intended benefits of using trees for carbon capture ineffective.
8. What would happen if more trees were planted in the Arctic?
A. They’d do more harm than good. B. They’d lower the temperature there.
C. They’d bring more snow to the area. D. They’d capture more carbon than elsewhere.
9. What kind of disturbance can easily cause the Arctic soil to release carbon?
A. The temperature changes. B. The freezing of ice and snow.
C. The frequent wildfires. D. The tree planting activities.
10. What does the underlined word “nullifies” in the last paragraph mean?
A Cancels out. B. Results in. C. Stores up. D. Searches for.
11. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Arctic Forest Benefits. B. Arctic Climate Change.
C. Arctic Soil Features. D. Arctic Tree Planting Risks.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。科学家呼吁不要在北极地区种树。近期研究发现,在北极种树不但无法助力应对气候变化,反而可能加速全球变暖。反照率效应使森林聚集更多热量,种树还会扰动富含碳的土壤,导致碳释放。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The snow-covered ground in the Arctic reflects about 75% of incoming sunlight, while dark evergreen trees reflect only about 10%. This difference means that replacing open plains in Arctic regions with forests actually traps more heat in the Earth’s system, despite the trees’ ability to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. (北极地区被雪覆盖的地面反射了大约75%的阳光,而深色的常绿树木只反射了大约10%的阳光。这种差异意味着,尽管树木能够从大气中吸收二氧化碳,但用森林取代北极地区的开阔平原实际上会在地球系统中吸收更多的热量)”可知,在北极地区,被雪覆盖的地面能够反射75%的阳光,而树木仅能够反射10%的阳光,虽然树木能够捕获大气中的二氧化碳,但总的来说,在北极种树弊大于利。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“When this soil is disturbed by tree planting and root growth, it gives off stored carbon into the atmosphere, further contributing to global warming. (当这种土壤受到树木种植和根系生长的干扰时,它会将储存的碳释放到大气中,进一步加剧全球变暖)”可知,当种树活动以及树根生长对北极土壤造成干扰时,会致使土壤释放所储存的碳到大气中,进一步加剧全球变暖。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“When trees are overcome by these disturbances, any carbon they’ve stored is released back into the atmosphere. (当树木受到这些干扰时,它们储存的任何碳都被释放回大气中)”以及后文“making the intended benefits of using trees for carbon capture ineffective (使利用树木进行碳捕获的预期效益失效)”可知,树木受到各类干扰后,其储存的碳又重新释放回大气中了,这样一来就使得它们原本的碳捕捉优势不复存在了,也就是把这些优势抵消了。由此可推知,画线词意为“抵消,使无效”,与A项含义一致。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“They’ve discovered that planting trees in the Arctic could actually speed up global warming rather than help fight against it. (他们发现,在北极种植树木实际上会加速全球变暖,而不是帮助对抗全球变暖)”以及文章从头至尾都是围绕在北极种树这一行为所带来的各种风险来进行论述的,例如因反照率效应使得热量被更多留存、种树会扰动土壤进而释放碳、该地区树木面临诸多生存挑战致使碳捕捉原本应有的好处无法实现等一系列相关问题。由此可推知,D项“北极植树风险”最适合作文章标题。故选D。
D
An Alabama woman, Towana Looney, 53, received a kidney (肾) from a genetically modified pig, becoming the third living person in America to have such a transplant (移植).
In late 2016, she started dialysis (透析). Finding a human kidney for her was nearly impossible because Looney’s body rejected most transplanted kidneys. She knew researchers spent much money studying the potential uses of pig organs in humans. Then, she got connected with transplant surgeon Jayme Locke, who asked the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for permission to perform a xenotransplant — a transplant involving non-human tissues — on Looney. The FDA eventually approved the surgery under a program that allows doctors to perform experimental procedures on patients who have no other options.
The prior two patients to receive gene-edited pig kidney transplants both died later-the first patient died from sudden cardiac arrest (心脏骤停) that doctors said was unrelated to the transplant, and the second needed to have her pig kidney removed after her heart medication damaged it. They were both much sicker than Looney at the time of their procedures and suffered from serious heart disease, which she did not.
Doctors scheduled Looney’s procedure for November 25th, 2024. They had made ten genetic edits to the pig to increase the likelihood that Looney’s body would accept the foreign tissue. Researchers had previously tested ten-edit pig kidneys in brain-dead human patients, so they had some knowledge about how Looney’s body might react. Immediately after the surgeons sewed the pig kidney into place, it turned pink and began making urine-both good signs.
Now Looney is off dialysis and her blood pressure is controlled. For the next three months, she’ll stay near the hospital so that doctors can perform daily check-ups. She’s also wearing monitors that track her blood pressure, heart rate and other bodily functions. Doctors are watching for early warning signs that her body is rejecting the organ, which is more likely in pig- to-human transplants than in human-to-human transplants. Moving forward, doctors hope to launch a formal clinical trial of ten-edit pig kidneys next year.
12. What can be learnt about the xenotransplant in America?
A. It’s carried out in a restricted manner. B. It’s disapproved of by most scientists.
C. It’s supported financially by the FDA. D. It’s still popular though it’s too risky.
13. What does the author want to say by mentioning the prior two patients?
A. Looney’s transplant was more promising B. They were the first to use pig kidneys.
C. Looney would challenge the impossible. D. Gene-edited pig kidneys need improving.
14. Why was Looney’s transplant operation successful?
A. Her surgery was done in time. B. It was a one-time kidney surgery.
C. Doctors made full preparations D. Advanced gene technology was applied.
15. What does the last paragraph indicate?
A. Doctors have had a new surgery plan B. Looney will make a full recovery soon.
C. There are potential risks after surgery. D. Ten-edit pig kidneys are unfit for humans.
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。2024年11月25日,53岁的Towana Looney成为美国第三位在世的接受实验性猪肾的人。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The FDA eventually approved the surgery under a program that allows doctors to perform experimental procedures on patients who have no other options.(美国食品和药物管理局最终批准了这项手术,该计划允许医生在没有其他选择的病人身上进行实验性手术)”可知,美国食品药品监督管理局是在一个特定项目下批准了这种手术,即允许医生在患者别无他选的情况下进行实验性操作,即,异种移植是在受限的方式下开展的。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The prior two patients to receive gene-edited pig kidney transplants both died later-the first patient died from sudden cardiac arrest (心脏骤停) that doctors said was unrelated to the transplant, and the second needed to have her pig kidney removed after her heart medication damaged it. They were both much sicker than Looney at the time of their procedures and suffered from serious heart disease, which she did not.(前两名接受基因编辑的猪肾移植的患者后来都去世了——第一个患者死于心脏骤停,医生说这与移植无关,第二个患者在心脏药物损伤后需要切除她的猪肾。在接受手术时,他们的病情都比鲁尼严重得多,并且患有严重的心脏病,而鲁尼却没有)”可推知,提起前两位病人是为了说明Looney的手术成功更有希望。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“They had made ten genetic edits to the pig to increase the likelihood that Looney’s body would accept the foreign tissue.(他们对这只猪进行了10次基因编辑,以增加鲁尼的身体接受外来组织的可能性)”可知,这次移植对猪肾进行了十项基因编辑,运用了新的基因技术,这是其手术成功的原因。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Now Looney is off dialysis and her blood pressure is controlled. For the next three months, she’ll stay near the hospital so that doctors can perform daily check-ups. She’s also wearing monitors that track her blood pressure, heart rate and other bodily functions. Doctors are watching for early warning signs that her body is rejecting the organ, which is more likely in pig- to-human transplants than in human-to-human transplants.(现在鲁尼停止了透析,她的血压得到了控制。在接下来的三个月里,她将待在医院附近,以便医生进行日常检查。她还戴着监测血压、心率和其他身体机能的监测器。医生们正在观察她的身体是否有排斥器官的早期预警信号,这种情况在猪对人的移植中比在人对人的移植中更有可能发生)”可知,Looney现在虽不用透析、血压得到了控制,但仍要留在医院附近接受每日检查,还戴着监测设备,医生也在留意其身体排斥器官的早期预警信号。由此可推知,手术后是存在潜在风险的。故选C。

In Gangneung Town, South Korea, lived 70-year-old Park Jun-ho. His wife passed away a year ago, and he had been relying on his adopted dog, Bobby, for company.
One day, an unexpected fire broke out and burned their house to ashes. Park Jun-ho was rescued, together with his wallet and his favorite hat, but he was severely injured. He was quickly sent to the hospital. He was heartbroken, believing that Bobby had been killed in the fire. He would rather have Bobby with him than his personal belongings.
However, Bobby was still alive, though with an injured leg. A journalist, who was covering the story of the fire incident, happened to pass by the ruins of Park Jun-ho’s house. He noticed Bobby walking around the remains slowly and sadly. It would stop at certain spots, as if recalling the times it had spent with Park Jun-ho there. It then sat down, its eyes fixed on the path leading to the house, patiently waiting. Every time someone approached, Bobby would stand up, barking to warn them off, as if this place was the last connection it had with its beloved master and it had to protect it at all costs. The journalist saw the dog there every day when he passed by. He was deeply touched and recorded a video of Bobby.
The journalist managed to find Park Jun-ho in the hospital and showed him the video. Seeing Bobby still alive, Park Jun-ho burst into tears. But due to his poor physical condition, he couldn’t leave the hospital. He requested the journalist to help Bobby. The journalist recorded Park Jun-ho’s voice and placed the recording in a cage (笼子) he bought. Then, he put the cage beside the ruins. When Bobby heard Park Jun-ho’s voice, it walked around the cage for a long time and finally entered the cage to listen to the voice. Thus, the journalist successfully took Bobby to the pet hospital.

【答案】 But two days passed in the pet hospital, and Bobby refused to eat. If this continued, Bobby would lose its life. The journalist was at a loss and had to turn to Park Jun-ho for help. Hearing that Bobby wouldn’t eat or drink, Park Jun-ho felt extremely sad. But at the journalist’s suggestion, Park Jun-ho recorded a video urging Bobby to eat. Meanwhile, he handed over his wallet and hat to the journalist, hoping they would help. The journalist quickly brought these personal belongings and the video to the pet hospital.
Bobbry smelled Park Jun-ho’s personal belongings and saw him in the video. Tears welled up in its eyes. It stared straight at the screen, listening to the voice saying, “Eat Bobby. Come on and eat!” Gradually, it seemed to understand something and began to eat heartily. A month later, Park Jun-ho was finally discharged from the hospital. He rushed to the pet hospital impatiently and was happily reunited with Bobby. Their reunion was a heartwarming moment that showed the deep connection between a man and his beloved dog.

Five years ago I was in Berlin for a few months, and my friend Michael invited me to a gathering of his friends at a neighborhood restaurant. It seemed like a typical bar — until one of the guys planted a little flag on the table: a symbol for their group.
Back home in D. C. I found myself thinking recently of Stammtisch. I mentioned it to a German friend, Amrai, as we walked around the zoo with our kids, admiring the goats and alpacas. Amra i laughed and said, “You know there’s a Stammtisch in D. C.? It’s mostly Germans.” I decided to attend it one cold December evening at a restaurant, where I was greeted by a warm atmosphere and lively conversations. The gathering’s organizer, Andrea Shalal, described the classic Stammtisch, “A Stammtisch means regulars’ table. It’s an age-old German tradition where a group of like-minded people — traditionally men — meet up at a restaurant at a regular time to have drinks and chat. In every German village, there is the corner bar, and in the corner is a table. It’s reserved for the sort of elders or other regulars.”
“Growing up in the 1980s, 1990s, early 2000s, the idea of Stammtisch in Germany’s youth was sort of rejected as ‘This is something that our parents’ generation, our grandparents’ generation, would do’,” said Robert Christoffel,45. But he’s noticed that’s starting to change. ‘A lot of my friends, nowadays, in Germany — maybe because they have gotten a little older as well — they are now meeting up and sort of establishing Stammtisch,” he told me.
In modern life, as fewer people go to church, these gatherings can take on even more significance. Werner Hein, who’s 80 years old, described the Stammtisch this way, “That’s a place where you meet in person. You open up on things, on your very personal things,” Hein said. “Nowadays, I have to almost say it’s more important than ever to have a kind of Stammtisch.”
4. Why did one of the guys plant the little flag?
A. To mark the group. B. To follow the tradition.
C. To make it decorative. D. To draw others’ attention.
5. What did the author learn about the Stammtisch from Andrea Shalal?
A. Its root. B. Its concept.
C. Its expansion. D. Its reform.
6. How do young Germans view the Stammtisch now?
A. They consider it a fashion. B. They gradually take to it.
C. They advocate for it firmly. D. They stay unconcerned about it.
7. Which might Werner Hein agree with regarding the Stammtisch?
A. It lacks authenticity. B. It demands formality.
C. It’s as vital as the church. D. It aids deep communication.
C
Scientists have a simple message recently: stop messing with the landscape of the Arctic.
They’ve discovered that planting trees in the Arctic could actually speed up global warming rather than help fight against it. The study comes at a critical time, as various regions, including Alaska, Greenland, and Iceland, have begun carrying out or considering large-scale tree-planting projects in their northern territories. The problem lies in a phenomenon known as the albedo effect-the ability of surfaces to reflect sunlight back into space. The snow-covered ground in the Arctic reflects about 75% of incoming sunlight, while dark evergreen trees reflect only about 10%. This difference means that replacing open plains in Arctic regions with forests actually traps more heat in the Earth’s system, despite the trees’ ability to capture (捕获) carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
However, the issues don’t stop there. When trees are planted in Arctic regions, they disturb the soil, which in these areas serves as one of Earth’s largest carbon banks. The Arctic’s permanently frozen soils contain more carbon than all the world’s plant life combined does. When this soil is disturbed by tree planting and root growth, it gives off stored carbon into the atmosphere, further contributing to global warming.
“Soils in the Arctic store more carbon than all vegetation on Earth,” explains lead author Jeppe Kristensen, an assistant professor from Aarhus University. “These soils are extremely sensitive to disturbances. For example, they are affected when people plant trees or conduct agricultural activities there, or when tree roots grow into the soil.”
The research team also found that trees in these regions face significant survival challenges. As climate change intensifies, these areas are experiencing more frequent wildfires, droughts, and pest outbreaks. When trees are overcome by these disturbances, any carbon they’ve stored is released back into the atmosphere. This nullifies the possible advantages they could offer as a means of capturing carbon, making the intended benefits of using trees for carbon capture ineffective.
8. What would happen if more trees were planted in the Arctic?
A They’d do more harm than good. B. They’d lower the temperature there.
C. They’d bring more snow to the area. D. They’d capture more carbon than elsewhere.
9. What kind of disturbance can easily cause the Arctic soil to release carbon?
A. The temperature changes. B. The freezing of ice and snow.
C. The frequent wildfires. D. The tree planting activities.
10. What does the underlined word “nullifies” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Cancels out. B. Results in. C. Stores up. D. Searches for.
11. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Arctic Forest Benefits. B. Arctic Climate Change.
C. Arctic Soil Features. D. Arctic Tree Planting Risks.
D
An Alabama woman, Towana Looney, 53, received a kidney (肾) from a genetically modified pig, becoming the third living person in America to have such a transplant (移植).
In late 2016, she started dialysis (透析). Finding a human kidney for her was nearly impossible because Looney’s body rejected most transplanted kidneys. She knew researchers spent much money studying the potential uses of pig organs in humans. Then, she got connected with transplant surgeon Jayme Locke, who asked the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for permission to perform a xenotransplant — a transplant involving non-human tissues — on Looney. The FDA eventually approved the surgery under a program that allows doctors to perform experimental procedures on patients who have no other options.
The prior two patients to receive gene-edited pig kidney transplants both died later-the first patient died from sudden cardiac arrest (心脏骤停) that doctors said was unrelated to the transplant, and the second needed to have her pig kidney removed after her heart medication damaged it. They were both much sicker than Looney at the time of their procedures and suffered from serious heart disease, which she did not.
Doctors scheduled Looney’s procedure for November 25th, 2024. They had made ten genetic edits to the pig to increase the likelihood that Looney’s body would accept the foreign tissue. Researchers had previously tested ten-edit pig kidneys in brain-dead human patients, so they had some knowledge about how Looney’s body might react. Immediately after the surgeons sewed the pig kidney into place, it turned pink and began making urine-both good signs.
Now Looney is off dialysis and her blood pressure is controlled. For the next three months, she’ll stay near the hospital so that doctors can perform daily check-ups. She’s also wearing monitors that track her blood pressure, heart rate and other bodily functions. Doctors are watching for early warning signs that her body is rejecting the organ, which is more likely in pig- to-human transplants than in human-to-human transplants. Moving forward, doctors hope to launch a formal clinical trial of ten-edit pig kidneys next year.
12. What can be learnt about the xenotransplant in America?
A It’s carried out in a restricted manner. B. It’s disapproved of by most scientists.
C. It’s supported financially by the FDA. D. It’s still popular though it’s too risky.
13. What does the author want to say by mentioning the prior two patients?
A. Looney’s transplant was more promising B. They were the first to use pig kidneys.
C. Looney would challenge the impossible. D. Gene-edited pig kidneys need improving.
14. Why was Looney’s transplant operation successful?
A. Her surgery was done in time. B. It was a one-time kidney surgery.
C. Doctors made full preparations D. Advanced gene technology was applied.
15. What does the last paragraph indicate?
A. Doctors have had a new surgery plan B. Looney will make a full recovery soon.
C. There are potential risks after surgery. D. Ten-edit pig kidneys are unfit for humans.

In Gangneung Town, South Korea, lived 70-year-old Park Jun-ho. His wife passed away a year ago, and he had been relying on his adopted dog, Bobby, for company.
One day an unexpected fire broke out and burned their house to ashes. Park Jun-ho was rescued, together with his wallet and his favorite hat, but he was severely injured. He was quickly sent to the hospital. He was heartbroken, believing that Bobby had been killed in the fire. He would rather have Bobby with him than his personal belongings.
However, Bobby was still alive, though with an injured leg. A journalist, who was covering the story of the fire incident, happened to pass by the ruins of Park Jun-ho’s house. He noticed Bobby walking around the remains slowly and sadly. It would stop at certain spots, as if recalling the times it had spent with Park Jun-ho there. It then sat down, its eyes fixed on the path leading to the house, patiently waiting. Every time someone approached, Bobby would stand up, barking to warn them off, as if this place was the last connection it had with its beloved master and it had to protect it at all costs. The journalist saw the dog there every day when he passed by. He was deeply touched and recorded a video of Bobby.
The journalist managed to find Park Jun-ho in the hospital and showed him the video. Seeing Bobby still alive, Park Jun-ho burst into tears. But due to his poor physical condition, he couldn’t leave the hospital. He requested the journalist to help Bobby. The journalist recorded Park Jun-ho’s voice and placed the recording in a cage (笼子) he bought. Then, he put the cage beside the ruins. When Bobby heard Park Jun-ho’s voice, it walked around the cage for a long time and finally entered the cage to listen to the voice. Thus, the journalist successfully took Bobby to the pet hospital.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
But two days passed in the pet hospital, and Bobby refused to eat.
