But this time I had borrowed a bicycle from a friend of mine. I didnt know why, but once I was on my own bicycl

9、e, a kind of free feeling flooded through me. The faster I rode, the faster I wanted to go! Far ahead, I rode as if my life depended on it, head down, hands grasping the handbars.

15、in the United States. The benefit(義演), called “America: a Tribute to Heroes,” was sponsored by all four major U.S television networks, ABC,CBS, FOIX and NBC. It was broadcast by three-dozen television, cable and radio networks across the country and aired live to more than a hundred countries around

16、 the world. Hollywood stars joined music entertainers in asking listeners and viewers to pledge cash donations to charities helping the victims of the September 11th attacks. Actors, including Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, tom Cruise and Clint Eastwood, told stories of heroic acts by people who tried to

17、 save others from the burning World trade Center and the Pentagon. Former heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali made a rare public appearance in show of support. The appeals alternated with performances by such popular entertainers a Bruce Springsteen, Mariah Carey, Steve Wonder, Paul Simon and the rock

18、 band U2. They appeared on stages in New York, Los Angeles and London, decorated with hundreds of burning candles. Singer Billy Joel sang “ New York State of Mind” with a New York City firefighters hat on his piano. Sting dedicated his song “ Gragile” to a friend who died in the World Trade Center.

19、Stevie Wonder condemned hatred in the name of religion before singing his song “ Loves in Need of Love today”. Pledge phones were manned by dozens of other celebrities, including Jack Nicholson, Meg Ryan, Whoopic Goldberg, Cindy Crawford, Al Pacino and Sylvester Stallone. Organizers say the two-hour

Best-known names Pledge Donations C. Seeking More Support D. More People JoinDWith only about 1, 000 pandas left

24、 in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save the endangered species. Thats a move similar to what a Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noahs Ark”. Noahs Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen a

25、nd DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & Ms College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future. It is estimated

26、 that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds, reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years. This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg

27、 cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal. The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete. “The nuclear transfer of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available(capable of being used) panda eggs could be a m

28、ajor problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and its difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth t

29、he effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A & M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog. “They are trying to do something thats never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noahs Ark. Were both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly ap

30、preciate their effort and theres a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. Its a research that is very much needed.” 53. The aim of “Noahs Ark” project is to _.A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandas B. save endangered animals from dying outC. collect DNA of endangered animals t

31、o study D. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another54. According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of _.A. available panda eggs B. host animals C. qualified researchersD. enough money55. The best title for the passage may be _.A. Chinas Success in Panda

32、s Cloning B. The First Cloned Panda in the WorldC. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas D. China the Native Place of Pandas Forever56. From the passage we know that _.A. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dogB. scientists try to implant a pandas egg into a rabbitC. Kraemer will wo

33、rk with Chinese scientists in clone researchesD. about two thousand of species will probably die out in a centuryEFar from the land of Antarctica (南極洲), a huge shelf of ice meets the ocean. At the underside of the shelf there lives a small fish, the Antarctic cod.For forty years scientists have been

34、 curious about that fish. How does it live where most fish would freeze to death? It must have some secret. The Antarctic is not a comfortable place to work and research has been slow. Now it seems we have an answer. Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish. Scientists st

35、udied the fishs blood and measured its freezing point. The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of -1.88C and many tiny pieces of ice floating in it. The blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to -2.05C. That small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice-salt mixture.The scientists next research job was clear: Find out what in the fishs blood kept it from freezing. Their search led to some really strange thing made up of a protein (蛋白質(zhì)) never before seen in the blood of a fish. Wh
