Because of the shyness, Betty just stood with few words in public. The shy girl hardly talked to people in social activities. She was often considered as a quiet girl in the community. She felt like a wallflower and wondered if she would go unnoticed all the time. ② However, her closest friend, Fiona, was completely different. Fiona loved to communicate with others and she encouraged Betty to change. She told Betty that life wasn’t always as beautiful as roses and that everyone was able to make it full of roses. ③With the encouragement of Fiona, Betty began to change. Instead of being a wallflower, she started attending (参加) a community theater class. She took an active part in acting in the theater group. Her gift for acting began to shine. However, new difficulties were never far away. One of Betty’s classmates became a thorn (刺) in her side. The classmate was not satisfied with her achievements but Betty continued to deal with the situation. She managed to show herself and became friends with the classmate. All the changes made her feel fresh every day. ④ Betty’s hard work paid off when the town’s famous director, Mr. Johnson, watched one of her plays. He liked her acting so much that he offered her the lead role in his new play. Betty’s moment arrived. People were happy to watch her show. ⑤ Finally, Betty became a confident girl. Her change was like a beautiful rose in full flower. She encountered many difficulties which taught her that there’s no rose without a thorn. But those thorns helped her develop her abilities.

C For the past 20 years, scientists have been growing human cells (细胞) where you wouldn’t quite expect them. Human ears have greatly been grown on mice. And human hearts have even been grown inside pigs’ bodies. Now, according to a recent study, scientists have shown it’s possible to grow human teeth in a pig’s mouth. They think this could one day replace the not so perfect dental implants (种植牙) we use now. Dental implants, usually made from metal, have become more popular in recent years. But they aren’t perfect. If they aren’t lined up right, they can harm the bones of our mouth and they may fall over time. Natural teeth, however, might reduce the risk brought by implants in the long run. That’s why scientists are trying to grow natural teeth in pigs. Scientists took cells from a human tooth and mixed them with cells from a pig tooth. These new cells were put into a special machine for a week to grow. Then scientists placed them into the mouths of several test pigs. A few months later, tooth-like materials formed. In their experiment, the scientists took six two-year-old mini pigs and removed some of their teeth. Mini pigs were chosen because their mouths are similar in size and shape to humans’. About 50% of the pigs had successful teeth growth. Though the results are good, they won’t lead to usable teeth for humans just yet. Still, scientists say this could be the start of replacing metal teeth in the future. 26. How does the writer begin the passage? A. By asking questions. B. By telling stories. C. By giving examples. D. By listing numbers. 27. What makes natural teeth better than dental implants? A. They are safer. B. They are harder. C. They are whiter. D. They are cheaper. 28. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A. The goal of the experiment. B. The reason of the experiment. C. The process of the experiment. D. The difficulty of the experiment. 29. Why are mini pigs suitable for the experiment? A. Their teeth grow very fast. B. Their teeth are good in size. C. Their mouth is like humans. D. Their mouth is much cleaner. 30. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. These special teeth will be used soon. B. Experiments should be done on humans. C. More research is still needed in the future. D. Scientists aren’t confident about the results. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Choosing a career isn’t always easy, but there are still some tips you can take to help make up your mind.

Dental implants, usually made from metal, have become more popular in recent years. But they aren’t perfect. If they aren’t lined up right, they can harm the bones of our mouth and they may fall over time. Natural teeth, however, might reduce the risk brought by implants in the long run. That’s why scientists are trying to grow natural teeth in pigs. Scientists took cells from a human tooth and mixed them with cells from a pig tooth. These new cells were put into a special machine for a week to grow. Then scientists placed them into the mouths of several test pigs. A few months later, tooth-like materials formed. In their experiment, the scientists took six two-year-old mini pigs and removed some of their teeth. Mini pigs were chosen because their mouths are similar in size and shape to humans’. About 50% of the pigs had successful teeth growth. Though the results are good, they won’t lead to usable teeth for humans just yet. Still, scientists say this could be the start of replacing metal teeth in the future. 26. How does the writer begin the passage? A. By asking questions. B. By telling stories. C. By giving examples. D. By listing numbers. 27. What makes natural teeth better than dental implants? A. They are safer. B. They are harder. C. They are whiter. D. They are cheaper. 28. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A. The goal of the experiment. B. The reason of the experiment. C. The process of the experiment. D. The difficulty of the experiment. 29. Why are mini pigs suitable for the experiment? A. Their teeth grow very fast. B. Their teeth are good in size. C. Their mouth is like humans. D. Their mouth is much cleaner. 30. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. These special teeth will be used soon. B. Experiments should be done on humans. C. More research is still needed in the future. D. Scientists aren’t confident about the results. 【答案】26. C 27. A 28. C 29. C 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了科学家在猪体内培育人类牙齿的实验，并探讨了天然牙齿相比金属种植牙的优势以及未来应用的可能性。 【26题详解】 根据第一段中“Human ears have greatly been grown on mice. And human hearts have even been grown inside pigs’ bodies.”可知，作者在引出主题前列举了老鼠身上长耳朵、猪体内长心脏等例子，因此是通过举例开始文章的。 【27题详解】 根据第二段中“Natural teeth, however, might reduce the risk brought by implants in the long run.”可知，天然牙齿可以减少种植牙带来的风险，意味着它们更安全。 【28题详解】 第三段描述了科学家提取细胞、混合细胞、放入机器培养、植入猪嘴以及最终形成牙齿状物质的整个过程，主要讲述了实验的过程。 【29题详解】 根据第四段中“Mini pigs were chosen because their mouths are similar in size and shape to humans’.”可知，选择迷你猪是因为它们的嘴巴大小和形状与人类相似。 【30题详解】 根据最后一段中“they won’t lead to usable teeth for humans just yet”可知，目前还不能立即用于人类，暗示未来还需要更多的研究和改进。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Choosing a career isn’t always easy, but there are still some tips you can take to help make up your mind.
