A beautiful and very successful actress was the star of a new musical show. Her home was in the country, but she didn’t want to have to go back there every night, so she rented (租用) an expensive flat in the centre of the city, bought some beautiful furniture (家具) and hired a man to paint the rooms in new colours.
It was very difficult to get tickets for her show because everybody wanted to see it, so she decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this would make him work better and more willingly for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more about them until the end of the month, when she got the painter’s bill. At the bottom of it were the words “Four hours watching Miss Hall sing and dance,£3,” with this note： “After 5 p.m. I get fifteen shillings an hour instead of ten shillings.”

Japanese researchers are genetically changing mosquitoes so that they become carriers of a vaccine (疫苗) that could vaccinate millions for free. The researchers have already genetically changed a mosquito species so that its saliva (唾液) contains a protein that acts as a vaccine against leishmaniasis (利什曼病), a deadly disease that leads to terrible skin problems. The team confirmed that mice bitten by the genetically engineered mosquito developed an antibody to the disease, meaning they had built up immunity (免疫力).
“You would be vaccinated without even noticing. You wouldn’t need any drug and you wouldn’t need to show up at a fixed place for mass vaccinations,” said Shigeto Yoshida, the associate professor who has led the research. “Repeated bites would only strengthen the immunity.”
“Similarly the mosquitoes could be used to help treat malaria (疟疾), perhaps a decade from now,” said the malaria expert.
Nearly one million people die each year from malaria—most of them are children—mainly in Africa and Asia, according to the World Health Organization. Now a problem is that no effective vaccine exists. “There is a treatment that works, but it is beyond the reach of people who need to worry about food for tomorrow,” Yoshida said.
However, Yoshida expects that the genetically-engineered mosquito will finally help wipe out the deadly disease in the developing world. “Technically speaking, I believe it’s a matter of 10 years or so, but it’s not clear whether society would accept it,” he said.
Another problem is that the genetically-engineered mosquito may still pick up and spread the infected blood of a person who has already caught malaria. Yoshida’s team is hoping it can solve this problem by developing a mosquito species that kills the malaria virus inside its own body.
28. How have scientists turned mosquitoes into carriers of a vaccine? A. By changing their genes.
4
B. By killing the virus in their bodies. C. By letting them bite mice.
D. By injecting vaccines into their bodies.
29. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of using mosquitoes as vaccine carriers?
A. It’s free of charge. B. It’s convenient. C. It’s more effective. D. It’s unnoticeable. 30. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A. People welcome the idea of using mosquitoes to treat malaria. B. Mosquitoes carrying vaccines may still spread malaria.
C. It is not long before people will use mosquitoes to get rid of malaria. D. A mosquito can kill the malaria virus inside its own body. 31. The main purpose of the passage is to . A. introduce a possible solution to malaria
B. encourage people to use mosquitoes to fight against diseases C. show that Japan has very advanced technology
D. call on people to help people suffering from malaria in Africa and Asia
D
Tracking wildlife is a tough job. Take the case of a one-eared leopard named Pavarotti.
Kasim Rafiq, a wildlife biologist at Liverpool John Moores University. “So I used to get up at the crack of dawn, follow his tracks and try and find him. So one day, I went out, and I was looking for him. And his tracks took me off road through this woodland area...and...”
Before he knew it, the wheel of his Land Rover was stuck in a deep hole. He wasted several hours getting it out. And then, on the way back to camp, he came across some local tour guides and their safari guests, who’d had way better luck spotting Pavarotti. “Basically, they laughed and they talked to me that they’d seen him that morning.”
Rafiq then realized that tourist wildlife sightings might be an untapped source of information about wild animals.
So he and his team worked with a safari lodge in Botswana to analyze 25 000 tourist photographs of wildlife. They compared those data to the estimates they made with traditional wildlife biology methods.
It turned out that the estimates from tourists’ photos were just as good as those gleaned (四处搜集) from traditional methods. And the tourists were actually the only ones to see elusive (难以捉摸的) leopards—the researchers would have missed the cats without the citizen science data. The results are in the journal Current Biology.
The idea is not to put wildlife researchers out of a job. “The reality is there are so many interesting things we still have to find out about these large carnivores (食肉动物) and so many conservation projects that need to be carried out that we don’t have the time or resources to do them all.” And tourist photos might help
5
make sure that all the local carnivores are spotted.
Thanks for listening for Scientific American—60-Second Science. I’m Christopher Intagliata.
32. What happened to Rafiq when he tracked Pavarotti? A. He was lost in the woods.
B. He was trapped in a deep hole.
C. He found Pavarotti with tourists’ help. D. He met Pavarotti on the way back to camp.
33. Why can biologists track animals from tourists’ photographs? A. The photos are sources of information about wildlife.
B. The photos are mirrors of the wildlife researchers’ life. C. The photos taken by tourists are of high quality.
D. The photos taken by tourists are especially beautiful. 34. What can we infer from paragraph 6?
A. The researchers have missed the data of cats.
B. The information from tourists’ photos was equally good. C. The value of tourist photos hasn’t been proven. D. Only the traditional methods can track wildlife. 35. Where can we find the article? A. On TV. B. In a magazine. C. On a radio. D. In a book.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
For most of us, stress is a reality and learning how to deal with it is very important in our growth. After all, stress goes hand in hand with change, and our life is all about change. 36 We all behave a bit differently according to different types of stress. Here are some helpful tips to help you.
Eat right. Research shows snack foods are the worst things to have when you’re stressed. Besides, they are not the best way to keep healthy. 37
Get moving. Most of our everyday stress is related to school, work, or a host of emotional issues. 38 When we’re under a lot of stress, our bodies can develop a lot of muscle tension. Regular exercise can help you relax and feel better.
39 Essays won’t write themselves, and good grades require hard work. Don’t think much about the bad things. Give yourself credit (赞扬) where you can improve yourself. Stress is a clear sign of worry, but it doesn’t mean your situation is hopeless.
Speak up. The breakup of your favorite rock band isn’t the end of the world, but sometimes life does throw some real problems at you. But don’t let the stress eat you up. 40 If you’re feeling seriously depressed and unable to keep up with school and life, speak to a family member or your doctor.
6
A. Stay positive.
B. Talk to a trusted friend.
C. People could not think clearly when under stress. D. The older a person is, the more stressed he feels.
E. There’s simply no way to get rid of stress completely.
F. However, a bit of physical activity can help us work it off.
G. Sure, everyone likes a little comfort food, but you’ll need a balanced diet.

Good morning everybody!It's my honor to speak here,and I am very glad to share my topic with you. Then today I'd like to talk about whether students go to school with mobile phones . Today, more and more students go to school with mobile phones.Many students are in favour of it.Firstly, it is easier for them to keep in touch with their parents and friends.Secondly, mobile phones will make their lives more colourful, because students are under too much pressure.
However, some teachers and parents don't think so.They believe it will make it hard for students to concentrate on their lessons, and they often spend too much money on phone calls and sending messages.
In my opinion, they can do that.It is really of great help, especially when they are in danger.Students can take mobile phones to school as long as they use them properly. OK,thank you for listening,that's all.
