26、   Drug development is a risky and costly business. Many possibly effective drugs fail to cut the mustard during the experiments. One reason is that drugs which work on lab animals may not work quite so well in human tests. Being able to pick winners and losers as early as possible would save money, and the One Health Company thinks it may have found a way. It is offering to help medical groups test their cancer drugs on sick pets.

There are several benefits. By treating animals with existing cancers, it hopes to avoid a problem with modern animal research, which is that the “model” animals and diseases that are used to test drugs are not always good stand-ins (替身) for the natural illness. For example, mice used to test cancer drugs may have had their tumours (肿瘤) placed into their bodies, or their immune systems weakened with drugs.

Another plus is that pet owners tend to be great caretakers who are very knowledgeable about their four-legged friends and are likely to report even small changes in behaviors. Lab animals are checked far less often.

Perhaps the most useful aspect of using pets for drug experiments, however, is that there is no law on animals’ medical records. One Health has been able to get 98% of records on animals from hospitals—a number that is impossible for humans. That allows the company to find the right animals for a drug experiment.

Based on the benefits above, the company hopes that pets will prove useful in other diseases in addition to cancers. Horses, for example, seem to be good stand-ins for humans when it comes to arthritis (关节炎). Cats, meanwhile, may prove instructive in breast cancer research.

【1】What do the underlined words “cut the mustard” in Paragraph1 probably mean?

A.Meet the requirements. B.Reduce the pain.

C.Affect the test results. D.Tell the differences.

【2】Which of the following is NOT a benefit of One Health’s idea?

A.It makes sure the animals with natural diseases are used.

B.It makes sure the model animals are checked regularly.

C.It makes sure most animals’ medical records are available.

D.It makes sure the model animals are in healthy condition.

【3】What’s the main idea of this passage?

A.How to help sick pets at a low price. B.How to improve drug experiments.

C.How to save the drug business. D.How to treat some pet diseases.

【4】Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

A. B. C. D.

27、   Washington is home to lots of trees and lots  of wood-burning stoves(火炉) too. But what if you live there and can't cut wood or can't afford to pay anyone to do it? Luckily, Shane McDaniel and his twin sons, Harrison and Henry McDaniel, 21, are happy to lend an ax(斧子).The three men cut truckloads of wood -then give the wood to those in need.

The idea was put forward by Shane as a father-son bonding project. He wanted to pass along the feeling his father Jackson and he shared while they cut wood, so he and the twins spent the summer doing their deeds. The result was a great wall of wood piled up around their house in Lake Stevens, about 35 miles outside of Seattle. To buy that much would cost about $ 10,000.

It was too much for the McDaniels to use themselves, and when the weather turned cold that November, Shane started thinking of others. He posted a request on a social networkling site:”IF

YOU ARE IN NEED OF FIREWOOD AND CANNOT AFFORD IT, PLEASE PM [ personal message ] ME…Please help me and my boys make sure NO ONE GOES COLD IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD."

The response was immediate. One man offered to donate a wood-burning stove. Others raced over with more wood for the pile. Single dad Peter Ticer, 29, and his four-year-old daughter depend on a wood-burning stove as their unique source of heat. so it was a relief to receive a truckload of firewood from the McDaniels before the holidays.”To get that much wood moved me to tears" he said.“So much stress and anxiety off my shoulders. I couldn't be more thankful."

Giving is the reward. It has nothing to do with how well its received; it's about how much it's needed.

【1】Which of the following best describes the McDaniels?

A.Energetic. B.Hard-working. C.Considerate. D.Mean.

【2】What does”father-son" in paragraph 2 refer to?

A.Shane and Harrison. B.Jackson and Shane.

C.Harrison and Henry. D.Shane and the twins.

【3】Why did Shane post the message on the Internet?

A.To advertise the wood they cut. B.To help those in need.

C.To get wood-burning stoves. D.To ask for others' help.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A.A family's firewood warms their neighborhood.

B.Cutting down trees teaches a family life lessons.

C.No one goes cold in the McDaniels' community.

D.Giving is a tradition of cheering up those in need.

28、Films to watch in March

Greta

A lonely young waitress finds a handbag on a New York subway train. Luckily, the address is inside, so she returns it to the piano teacher who left it there. She then discovers that the piano teacher makes a habit of dropping bags around the city on purpose to make new friends. Directed by Neil Jordan, the actors are attractive. Grace Moretz is the waitress and Isabelle Huppert is the one who admires her. Thanks to them, Greta winds up being far more enjoyable than it has any right to be.

The Aftermath

The Aftermath is one of the few World War Ⅱ-related films. Based on Rhidian Brook’s novel, this touching romantic movie is starred by Keira Knightley, who is the wife of a British officer. She hates the Germans because her son was killed in an air raid. But is there a chance that a tall, dark and handsome man might persuade her to overcome her hate?

Captain Marvel

It took Marvel Studios a decade to finally make a female superhero. It’s also the first Marvel film to be directed by a woman, who has directed Half Nelson and Missisippi Grind. Captain Marvel is set in the 1990s. The Oscar-winning Brie Larson stars as Carol Danvers, a US Air Force fighter pilot, while Samuel L Jackson, as usual, plays Nick Fury.

Dumbo

Dumbo is a classic Disney cartoon, who has big ears and there have been plenty of those kind of movies in recent years.
