His parents had a small shop but it was not successful and closed when he was thirteen. He worked at different times in a clothes shop and a chemist's. He always read a lot and later managed to get a place at a science college. After he left there he became a teacher, but he was badly hurt while playing football and this meant that he could not continue. He then worked in London, writing for newspapers and doing some teaching of small groups. None of this made him much money. 周周练 The Time Machine was his first fictional work. It appeared in weekly parts in a magazine in 1894 and as a book the following year. At the time, Wells was married to his second wife and was trying to support both her and her mother. He needed to make money, so he wrote it quite quickly. Although he was never really happy with the finished book, it was a great success and allowed him to continue as a writer. 周周练 It is not easy for us to understand how different this book was from others of the time. It is the first real science fiction book. It introduces the readers to the idea of time as the fourth dimension, with the three dimensions of space ten years before Einstein made it part of scientific thinking. Wells also describes a simple mechanical answer to the problem of time travel—a time machine. Nobody had ever described time travel in a machine before, and the words “time machine” entered the English language. 周周练 After the great success of this book, Wells wrote more science fiction. His most famous books are The Island of Dr Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897), The War of the Worlds (1898) and The First Men in the Moon (1901). All of them have been filmed, some more than once.

Scientists hope to recover the dodo if they gather enough DNA to create a clone to implant in the eggs of closely related modern pigeons. Dodo, an odd-looking flightless bird, lived on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean until the late 17th century. The arrival of sailors brought with them invasive species like rats and practices like hunting. They doomed the dodo, which showed no fear of humans, to extinction in the space of just a few decades. 周周练 Now a team of scientists wants to bring back the dodo. Shapiro said that she had already completed a key first step in the project based on genetic material taken out from dodo remains in Denmark. The next step was to compare the genetic information with the dodo's closest bird relatives in the pigeon family. The following work that's needed to resurrect the animal—programming cells from a living relative of the dodo with the lost bird's DNA—will be significantly more difficult. Shapiro said she hopes to adapt an existing technique that has already been used to create a chicken fathered by a duck. 周周练 However, Shapiro said that perfecting these synthetic (合成的) biology tools will have wider implications for bird conservation. The techniques could allow scientists to move specific genetic traits between bird species to help protect them as habitats shrink and the climate warms. Shapiro thought the technology which works in chickens would be amazing to get this to work in lots of different birds across the bird tree of life because that will be hugely impactful for bird conservation. 周周练 Whether or not Colossal and its team of scientists are eventually successful in their quest to bring back the dodo and the technological breakthroughs they may generate, they have investors excited. Colossal also announced that it has raised an additional $150 million, bringing the total amount of funding raised since the company launched in 2021 to $225 million. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一家科技公司正在开展的“复活渡渡鸟”项目。 周周练 28．What does the underlined word “doomed” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Destroyed.　　　　 B．Rescued. C．Hunted. D．Fed. 解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段内容可知，水手带来了老鼠等入侵物种，并进行捕猎；根据画线单词下文“showed no fear...a few decades”可知，老鼠等入侵物种以及人类的狩猎活动造成了渡渡鸟的灭绝。所以画线单词意为“毁灭”。 √ 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 32 33 34 35 31 22 23 21 周周练 29．Which is the most challenging in resurrecting the dodo? A.Taking out genetic material from dodo remains. B．Comparing genetic information with the dodo's relatives. C．Programming its living relative's cells with the dodo's DNA. D．Adapting an existing technique to create a chicken. 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The following work that's needed ... more difficult.”可知，复活渡渡鸟最具挑战性的是用渡渡鸟的DNA对其活体亲属的细胞进行编程。 √ 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 32 33 34 35 31 22 23 21 周周练 30．What can we learn from the passage? A．Scientists can change a duck into a chicken. B．Synthetic biology tools will shrink bird habitats. C．Protection of birds will benefit from the technology. D．The project will bring back the dodo soon. 解析：细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The techniques could allow scientists ... the climate warms.”可知，鸟类保护将受益于这项技术。 √ 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 32 33 34 35 31 22 23 21 周周练 31．Why are the numbers mentioned in the last paragraph? A.To show the project is promising. B．To evidence the technology is predictable. C．To imply the funding is insufficient. D．To prove the breakthrough is admirable. 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可推知，最后一段提到这些数字是为了表明这个项目很有前途。 √ 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 32 33 34 35 31 22 23 21 周周练 D As humanity sets their sights on deep space exploration, the moon becomes a stepping stone, with countries hoping to build lunar bases to support such missions. To solve the “lunch” problem, scientists have been exploring the possibility of growing plants on the moon. A new study by Chinese scientists has found that bacteria in soil from Earth could offer a solution. Researchers from China Agricultural University tested five species of bacteria on a material that simulated (模拟) lunar soil. Within a period of 10 to 21 days, three of the bacteria species had doubled their amount of phosphorus (磷) content, a key element for plant growth. 周周练 They then grew model plants in the lunar soil containing these three bacteria species. They observed that the plants had longer stems and roots after six days of growth compared with those grown without the bacteria. The plants also had heavier and wider leaves after 24 days of growth. Besides, levels of chlorophyll (叶绿素)—responsible for harvesting energy from light—in the model plants were about double that of those grown without bacteria. 周周练 “The study results have important implications for future long-term stays on the moon，” the study's lead researcher, Sun Zhencai, told Xinhua. Earth bacteria may help astronauts make better use of lunar resources, such as creating lunar greenhouses. In their follow-up research, they hope to experiment with real lunar soil samples and grow crops like rice, corn and potatoes. Since the duration of space missions is increasing, carrying all food supplies to space becomes unsustainable. Hence, “space farmers” becomes critical. 周周练 During the Shenzhou Ⅺ mission, astronauts managed to grow lettuce, from sowing to harvest. In the later missions, the “space farmers” have successfully grown wheat, rice and thale cress (拟南芥), according to CCTV News. The most recent visitors to China's space station are now growing lettuce, scallion and cherry tomato. These “space farmers” not only provide astronauts with food but also more oxygen and water. 周周练 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家利用地球土壤中的细菌在月球上种植庄稼以及实验开展的经过及研究结果的意义。 周周练 32．What do scientists hope the bacteria in soil from Earth can do?

Li Hua, a quiet and hard-working girl, was unexpectedly chosen to play the lead role. Although she knew her lines well, the idea of performing in front of the whole school made her increasingly nervous. 周周练 Wang Lin, Li Hua's desk mate and a naturally confident girl, had a supporting role. She noticed Li Hua's growing anxiety. During breaks, while others chatted happily, Li Hua would sit alone, nervously reviewing her script. On the day of the final rehearsal (排练), something unexpected happened. When delivering her most important line, Li Hua's mind went completely blank. A few students giggled (咯咯笑). Li Hua's face turned red with embarrassment, and she wished she could disappear. The teacher called for a short break. 周周练 Upset, Li Hua rushed into the empty hallway, tears in her eyes. She thought about quitting. As she leaned against the wall, head bowed in frustration, a friendly voice interrupted her. “Don't worry, everyone forgets lines sometimes，” said Wang Lin with a warm smile. “The most important thing is to enjoy ourselves and tell the story well.” She then spent the next fifteen minutes practicing the lines with Li Hua, suggesting breathing techniques and encouraging her to put more emotion into her performance. She even shared her own experience of stage fright, which made Li Hua feel much better. 周周练 On the night of the performance, the school hall was packed. As the opening music began, Li Hua stood behind the curtain, her heart pounding. She took a deep breath and glanced at Wang Lin, who gave her a reassuring smile and a thumbs-up. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 周周练 Taking a deep breath, Li Hua walked onto the bright stage. _________________________________________________________ After the successful performance, Li Hua found Wang Lin backstage._________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ 周周练 One possible version： Taking a deep breath, Li Hua walked onto the bright stage. The spotlight shone directly on her, and for a moment, she felt her nervousness returning. But then she remembered Wang Lin's advice about enjoying the moment and connecting with the audience. She saw the friendly faces in the crowd and began to speak her lines clearly and confidently. She poured all her emotions into the character, forgetting about her fears. When she finished her final line, the entire audience burst into warm applause. The loudest cheer seemed to come from Wang Lin, who was watching proudly from the side of the stage. 周周练 After the successful performance, Li Hua found Wang Lin backstage. She was among the cheering crowd, surrounded by the classmates, all laughing and celebrating. Li Hua quickly made her way through the group and gave Wang Lin a tight hug. “Thank you so much. I truly couldn't have done it without your help and encouragement，” Li Hua said, her voice filled with emotion. Wang Lin smiled warmly and replied, “Of course, you could. You just needed to believe in yourself a bit more.” In that heartfelt moment, Li Hua deeply understood that real friendship is about offering support and kindness when it's needed most. Their shared experience had made their bond stronger than ever. 周周练 $
