British physicist Stephen Hawking died on March 14, at the age of 76.‎ ‎ Hawking was known for his vast knowledge of black holes and the Big Bang theory, which attempts to explain how the universe began. His book A Brief History of Time, which contains his understanding of the universe, is one of the biggest-selling science books of all time.‎ ‎ His hard work led him to receive many awards and prizes. For example, in 2006, he was awarded the Copley Medal, an outstanding award for scientific achievement.‎ ‎ But his fame didn’t only come from his scientific achievements — his life experience was also inspiring. At the age of 21, he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (运动神经元病), before being confined to a wheelchair and needing the help of a voice synthesizer (合成器) to speak. He was predicted to die within a few years, yet he lived on to become one of the greatest scientists the world has ever known.‎ ‎ Although he’s no longer with us, his legacy will surely live on. As Sajid Javid, a UK government minister, put it, “A brief history on Earth; an eternity in the stars.”‎ ‎25. What is the black holes and the Big Bang theory about?‎ ‎ A. The physics. B. The stars.

His book A Brief History of Time is too short.‎ ‎ D. His spirits and achievements will live on forever.‎ ‎ C ‎ Two weeks ago, Ray Johnstone, an elderly man living alone in South Australia, posted a classified advertisement in search of a friend. Specifically, he was on the hunt for a fishing partner, as he no longer had anyone to share his hobby with. “I’m a widowed retired man who is looking for a fishing mate,” he wrote on Gumtree, “My previous fishing mate is now deceased. He will never accompany me to go fishing. I am a land-based fisherman. I have all the gear for all types of fish that is required for land-based fishing.”‎ ‎ Like all of us, 22-year-old Mati Batsinilas was touched by the man’s advertisement, so he reached out to him and arranged an outing. Rather than simply spend the day with Johnstone somewhere local, however, he and his family offered to take him on an all-inclusive weekend fishing trip of Stradbroke Island in Queensland. And, as expected, they had a good time. “Whilst on the island we covered four-wheel driving, site-seeing, fishing, swimming, chats with the locals and the best of all... just relaxing and chatting like mates,” Batsinilas wrote in a Facebook post. “Once you reach a level of maturity in life, age should only be a number. My respect for Johostone is obviously very high, but I treated him exactly the way I would have treated one of my 22-year-old mates.”‎ ‎ Fortunately, it sounds like Johnstone won’t have to place more classified advertisements any time soon. In addition to finding a friend, the pensioner has become a star on the Internet, with many social media users voicing their interests in meeting the now-famous fisherman.‎ ‎28. What was the aim of Ray Johnstone’s posting a classified advertisement?‎ ‎ A. He wanted to sell all his tools.‎ ‎ B. He wanted to show off his excellent fishing skills.‎ ‎ C. He wanted to find a friend to go fishing with.‎ ‎ D. He wanted to find a friend to sell all his caught fish.‎ ‎29. What does the underlined word “deceased” in the first paragraph mean?‎ ‎ A. ill B. unfriendly C. angry D. dead ‎30. What was Mati Batsinilas’ attitude towards Ray Johnstone?‎ ‎ A. He thought Johnstone was too old to go fishing with.‎ ‎ B. He treated Johnstone like a senior citizen and took him to travel.‎ ‎ C. He thought his father would make friends with Johnstone.‎ ‎ D. He treated the old man as a friend of the same age.‎ ‎31. What will happen after Ray Johnstone posted the classified advertisement?‎ ‎ A. There will be no advertisements for friends-hunting on the Internet.‎ ‎ B. Mare people will go online to read his latest information.‎ ‎ C. More people will come to make friends with Ray Johnstone.‎ ‎ D. Ray Johnstone will regret what he did on the Internet and move away.‎ ‎ D ‎ Agricultural scientists in the United States have put a copy of a human gene into pigs, sheep and rabbits. They report that the gene seems to be working in some of the animals. The gene that the scientists are using controls the production of human growth hormone (激素), a chemical necessary for growth.‎ ‎ They are using the human gene because it has been more closely studied than any other growth gene. The scientists hope their work will someday result in food animals that grow faster and larger or produce more milk or eggs. The research is being done by scientists at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Washington and the United States Department of Agriculture. The scientists put copies of human growth hormone into the fertilized (受精的) eggs of the female animals. When baby animals were born from the eggs, the scientists looked for evidence that the human gene had become part of the animals’ genetic material. They examined almost 200 baby pigs and found the gene in 20 of them. They found it in 28 of more than 200 rabbits, but it was in only one of 73 baby sheep. The scientists said they found the human growth chemical produced by the gene in some of the animals.‎ ‎ It is too soon to know if the animals will pass the human growth gene into their young, proving that the gene has become part of their genetic material. Similar research with mice two years ago produced a new kind of mice that is twice larger than normal mice. The scientists hope the same thing will happen with farm animals.‎ ‎ They say their research will permit other gene transplants that can give animals defense against diseases, or let them live in very hot or very cold places. American farmers already use chemical hormones to increase the size of cattle and the amount of milk they produce. But they have to put the hormones into the cows. If the gene transplants are fully successful, the cow’s body will produce growth hormone.‎ ‎32. How many kinds of animals have scientists put copies of human gene into?‎ ‎ A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.‎ ‎33. Why did the scientists do such a research?‎ ‎ A. To prove that the human gene had become part of the animals’ genetic material.‎ ‎ B. To expect food animals that grow faster and larger or produce more milk or eggs.‎ ‎ C. To find the human growth chemical produced by the gene in some of the animals.‎ ‎ D. To follow a similar research with mice carried out two years ago.‎ ‎34. The underlined word “them” refers to ______.‎ ‎ A. the baby pigs B. baby animals C. the scientists D. the baby sheep ‎35. Which part of a newspaper do you think this passage is probably taken from?‎ ‎ A. Amusement. B. Politics. C. Culture. D. Science and technology.‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分)‎ ‎ 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中两项为多余选项。‎ How to choose a good book ‎ You love reading and you’re dying to get your hands on a book.
