21.(6分)For centuries, medical pioneers have refined a variety of methods and medicines to treat sickness,
injury, and disability, enabling people to live longer and healthier lives.
“A salamander (a small lizard-like animal) can grow back its leg. Why can't a human do the same?” asked Peruvian-born surgeon Dr. Anthony Atala in a recent interview. The question, a reference to work aiming to grow new limbs for wounded soldiers, captures the inventive spirit of regenerative medicine. This innovative field seeks to provide patients with replacement body parts.
These parts are not made of steel; they are the real things --- living cells, tissue, and even organs.
Regenerative medicine is still mostly experimental, with clinical applications limited to procedures such as growing sheets of skin on burns and wounds. One of its most significant advances took place in 499,when a research group at North Carolina’s Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine conducted a successful organ replacement with a laboratory-grown bladder. Since then, the team, led by Dr. Atala, has continued to generate a variety of other tissues and organs—from kidneys to ears.
The field of regenerative medicine builds on work conducted in the early twentieth century with the first
successful transplants of donated human soft tissue and bone. However, donor organs are not always the best option. First of all, they are in short supply, and many people die while waiting for an available organ; in the United States alone, more than 100,000 people are waiting for organ transplants. Secondly, a patient’s body may ultimately reject the transplanted donor organ. An advantage of regenerative medicine is that the tissues are grown from a patient’s own cells and will not be rejected by the body’s immune system.
Today, several labs are working to create bioartificial body parts. Scientists at Columbia and Yale Universities have grown a jawbone and a lung. At the University of Minnesota, Doris Taylor has created a beating bioartificial rat heart. Dr. Atala’s medical team has reported long-term success with bioengineered bladders implanted into young patients with spina bifida (a birth defect that involves the incomplete development of the spinal cord). And at the University of Michigan, H. David Humes has created an artificial kidney.
So far, the kidney procedure has only been used successfully with sheep, but there is hope that one day similar kidney will be implantable in a human patient. The continuing research of scientists such as these may eventually make donor organs unnecessary and, as a result, significantly increa se individuals’ chances of survival.
1、In the latest field of regenerative medicine, what are replacement parts made of?
A.Donated cells, tissues and organs. B.Rejected cells, tissues and organs.
C.Cells, tissues and organs of one’s own.D.Cells, tissues and organs made of steel.
2、What have scientists experimented successfully on for a bioartificial kidney?
A.Patients B.Rats
C.Sheep D.Soldiers
3、Why is generative medicine considered innovative?
A.It will provide patients with replacement soft tissues.
B.It will strengthen the human body’s immune system.
C.It will shorten the time patients waiting for a donated organ.
D.It will make patients live longer with bioartificial organs.
4、What is the writer’s attitude towards regenerative medicine?
A.Positive. B.Negative.
C.Doubtful. D.Reserved.
22.(8分)As providers and caretakers(监护人), adults tend to view the children as happy and free. After all, kids don’t have jobs to keep or bills to pay, so what do they possibly have to worry about?
Plenty! Even very young children have worries and feel stressful to some degree. Stress is a function of the demands placed on us. These demands often come from outside sources, such as families, jobs, friends, or schools. But they can also come from our feelings, for example, what w e think we should be doing versus what we’re actually able to do.
Stress can affect anyone who feels at a loss, even kids. For kids in the kindergarten, separation from parents can cause anxiety. As kids get older, academic and social pressures also create stress, especially those who want to fit in their school are probably to get more stress.
Many kids are too busy to have time to play creatively or relax after school. Kids who complain about a
ll their activities or who refuse to take part in them might be too tired and full of stress. Talk with kids about how they feel about the activities related to their courses. If they complain, you should consider stopping one activity for a period of time, or you can explore, ways to help them manage their time and lessen their anxiety.
Another source of stress is world news. Kids who see scary images on TV or hear someone talk of natural disasters or ways may worry about their own safety and the people they love. Talk to them about what they see and hear on TV to he lp them understand what’s going on.
What’s more, be aware of some negative factors, such as an illness, or death of a loved one. When these are added to the everyday pressure kids face, the stress may appear. Separated or divorced parents should never put kids in a position of having to choose who they would like to live with.
1、Who is the most stressed according to the text?
A.A kid not getting many gifts on her birthday.
B.A kid not getting used to the school life.
C.A kid living with his strict parents.

A.Ways to help kids relieve stress.
B.Activities to stay with kids.
C.Courses to help kids relax.
浙江省考试院查录取情况D.Reasons for kid’s feeling stressed.
3、What can be concluded from the text?
A.World news may make kids worry about their countries’ safety.
B.Kids who behave well in the school haven’t stress.
C.Stress is not very common and serious among children.
D.Negative things and daily pressure can cause stress.
4、What’s the best title for the tex t?
A.Sources of Stress B.Effects of Stress

23.(8分)A decade-long study, also the first major research into air pollution and disease has shown that living near a main road increases the risk of dementia(痴呆). The study of 6.6 million people found that one in 10 dementia deaths in people living within 50 metres of a busy road was due to waste gas and noise.
Air pollution is already known to contribute to the deaths of around 40,000 people in Britain each year by worsening breathing and heart conditions, while previous research showed emissions (排放物) can cause brain shrinkage. But the new study by Canadian public health scientists is the first to find a link between living close to heavy traffic and the increasing of dementia, a discovery described as "believable" and "impressive" by British experts.
Dr Hong Chen said. "Our study suggests that busy roads could be a source of environmental stressors that could give rise to the onset of dementia. Population growth and urbanization has placed many peo
ple close to heavy traffic, and with widespread exposure to heavy traffic and growing rates of dementia, even a modest effect from near-road exposure could cause a large public health burden.  More research to understanding this link is needed, particularly into the effects of different aspects of traffic, such as air pollutants and noise."
In the new study, the team tracked all adults aged between 20 and 85 living in Ontario for more than a decade from 2001 to 2012. They used postcodes to determine how close people lived to a main road and analyzed medical records to see if they went on to develop dementia, Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis(多发性硬化).
While there was no correlation between living near a road and Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis, dementia risk reduced as people lived further from a main road, with a 7 percent higher risk in developing dementia among those living within 50 metres; a 4 percent higher risk at 50-100 metres and a 2 percent higher risk at 101-200 metres. After 200
