Last year, my Singapore-based sister insisted my mother and I join her for the Christmas. My mum, a fearless woman, would get strangely nervous on flights. Perhaps the only thing that convinced her to overcome her fears was the chance to piece together our declining bond.
Growing up moments with Mum were painfully short-lived because I spent most time at the boarding school, reuniting only during the holidays. Every year, she would eagerly await my return, which would always lead to constant loving scenes. Those cherished moments were gradually vanishing as I moved away for university. Soon, our relationship became tense. She seemed unable to comprehend me and her stubborn and old-fashioned advice forced me to shut myself. But the more I pulled away, the more I felt a longing for the bond that had grown so dim. Perhaps Singapore would give us a chance to breathe it back to life.
I assumed the immersive exhibits at Art Science Museum would refresh my mother, who was an art student. However, I was surprised when she just turned her nose up at the Bruges Whale, a sculpture using plastic waste to raise awareness about ocean pollution. “It’s art, Mum! Be more appreciative.” I defended.
Disheartened by the distance between us, I led her to the kid’s zone. We signed up for a joint sketching activity, hoping that would help us connect. As our creative juices flowed, our faded relationship began to take on the hues and shades of something sincere and beautiful.
“Look!” she excitedly pointed towards a digital screen that displayed our creations. “That one’s ours.” Mum went up and reached out, touching the fish as it moved its tail back and forth in the virtual tank.
Looking around, I saw children sharing moments with their parents, and my own childhood flashed back. That rare instance where she let slip an inner innocence and delight at a new experience revealed the little girl in her, who was like me, had lost a vital connection to responsibilities of motherhood.
“Our time together was like that of friends. You were my mother, and I’m a child following you around.” My mum said to me with a smile.
4. What made Mum accept the visit to Singapore
A. The resolve to overcome the nervousness on flight.
B. The desire to restore relationship with her children.
C. The sincere invitation of my Singapore-based sister.
D. The expectation for Art Science Museum as an artist.
5. What is the attitude of Mum towards the Bruges Whale
A. She felt it a huge waste to make it from plastic.
B. She showed a great interest in this work of art.
C. She didn’t think it good enough to be exhibited.
D. She considered it beneficial to ocean protection.
6. What can we learn from the sketching activity
A It revealed Mum’s inner ignorance like a girl.
B. It explored causes for faded bond between families.
C. It let Mum totally lose responsibilities of motherhood.
D. It provided an opportunity to share moments with families.
7. What do Mum’s words imply in the last paragraph
A. A good medicine tastes bitter. B. Life has indeed come full circle.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Nothing is impossible to a willing mind.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了一次去艺术科学博物馆的参观如何帮助作者与母亲重建了她们的温馨关系。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。从文章第一段的“Perhaps the only thing that convinced her to overcome her fears was the chance to piece together out declining bond. (可能唯一能说服她克服恐惧的事情就是有机会修复我们日渐衰弱的关系)”可知，妈妈接受访问新加坡的原因是想要恢复与孩子们的关系。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。从文章第三段的“However, I was surprised when she just turned her nose up at the Bruges Whale, a sculpture using plastic waste to raise awareness about ocean pollution.(然而，当她对布鲁日鲸鱼这个用塑料垃圾制作的雕塑嗤之以鼻时，我很惊讶。这个雕塑是用来提高人们对海洋污染的认识的)”可推知，妈妈对布鲁日鲸鱼的反应是她认为它不够好，不应该被展出。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Looking around, I saw children sharing moments with their parents, and my own childhood flashed back. That rare instance where she let slip an inner innocence and delight at a new experience revealed the little girl in her, who was like me, had lost a vital connection to responsibilities of motherhood. (在博物馆中的共同绘画活动中，我看到父母和孩子一起共同体验美好时光。面对全新的体验，妈妈鲜有地流露出内心的天真和喜悦，此刻，她的心中也住着一位像我一样的小女孩，完全没有“妈妈角色”的心理负担。因此这个活动让她们的关系变得更加真诚和温馨)”可推知，写生活动提供了一个与家人分享时光的机会。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Our time together was like that of friends. You were my mother, and I’m a child following you around.(我们在一起的时光就像朋友一样。你曾是我的母亲，而我只是个跟着你的孩子)”可推知，妈妈认为现在女儿带着她学习和了解外面的世界，是她的小老师，她们的角色互换了，感慨生命是一个轮回。A选项译为“苦口良药”；B选项译为“生命是周而复始的轮回”；C选项译为“事实胜于雄辩”；D选项译为“心之所愿，无事不成/有志者事竟成”。故选B。

In Australia, as the world locked down to slow the tide of the Covid-19 outbreak, Dr. Daniel Reardon, an astrophysicist living in Melbourne, was admitted to hospital after getting four magnets (磁铁) stuck up his nose in an attempt to invent a device that stops people touching their faces during the coronavirus outbreak. Originally, Reardon, who despite his qualifications has by his own account really no experience or expertise in building circuits or things, planned to use his time creating a device that — worn as a necklace, with a powerful neodymium magnet worn on the wrist — would set off an alarm if you brought your hand too close to your face. However, it turned out that Reardon’s facility did the opposite. The necklace screams continuously unless you move your hand close to your face.
After this initial failure, it seems, lockdown boredom really set in. Reardon started playing with the magnets, clipping (夹住) them to his face and then to his nostril. Things went downhill pretty quickly when he clipped them to his other nostril.
He placed two magnets inside his nostrils, and two on the outside. When he removed the magnets from the outside of his nose, the two inside stuck together. He decided to Google the problem and found the solution was more magnets on the outside to offset the pull from the ones inside.
As he was pulling downwards to try and remove the magnets, they clipped on to each other and he lost his grip. And those two magnets ended up in his left nostril while the other one was in his right. At that point he ran out of magnets.
Ultimately, after some further struggles involving some pliers which became magnetized, Reardon was hospitalized — with his partner, who works at a hospital, taking him in because she wanted all her colleagues to laugh at him. After the magnets were successfully removed, Reardon received some medical notes which contained the phrase: “Denies difficulty breathing. Denies further magnets.”
8. Why did Reardon start his invention
A. To amuse himself. B. To remind wearers.
C. To stop covid-19. D. To kill time.
9. What resulted in Reardon’s unsuccessful attempt
A. He lacked qualifications. B. He was inexperienced.
C. He had no spare parts. D. He was fully occupied.
10. What can we learn from paragraphs 3 & 4
A. Each of Reardon’s nostrils had two magnets in.
B. It’s dangerous to play with neodymium magnets.
C. People tend to surf the Internet for their problems.
D. Reardon could have saved face with enough magnets.
11. What does Reardon’s partner think of magnets getting stuck in his nose
A. Funny. B. Awkward. C. Boring. D. Creative.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了居住在墨尔本的天体物理学家丹尼尔·里尔登博士在发明的过程中出现意外，导致磁铁被卡在了鼻子里，最后被送往医院。

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Originally, Reardon, who despite his qualifications has by his own account really no experience or expertise in building circuits or things, planned to use his time creating a device that — worn as a necklace, with a powerful neodymium magnet worn on the wrist — would set off an alarm if you brought your hand too close to your face.(里尔登虽然有资格，但据他自己说，他在制造电路或其他东西方面没有任何经验或专业知识，他最初计划利用他的时间创造一种设备——作为项链佩戴，手腕上戴着一块强大的钕磁铁——如果你的手太靠近你的脸，它就会发出警报)”可知，他没有经验导致里尔登的尝试失败。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“He decided to Google the problem and found the solution was more magnets on the outside to offset the pull from the ones inside.(他决定用谷歌来解决这个问题，并发现解决办法是在外面放更多的磁铁来抵消里面的吸引力)”可知，人们倾向于上网解决问题。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ultimately, after some further struggles involving some pliers which became magnetized, Reardon was hospitalized — with his partner, who works at a hospital, taking him in because she wanted all her colleagues to laugh at him.(最终，在一些被磁化的钳子的进一步斗争之后，里尔登被送进了医院——他在医院工作的伴侣收留了他，因为她想让所有的同事都嘲笑他)”可推知，里尔登的搭档认为磁铁卡在他鼻子里很搞笑。故选A。

New DNA Repair-kit Successfully Fixes Hereditary (遗传性的) Disease in Cells
Genetic mutations (突变) which cause a weakening hereditary kidney disease affecting children and young adults have been fixed in kidney cells from a patient using a potentially game-changing DNA repair-kit. The advance, developed by the team led by Dr Francesco Aulicino and Professor Imre Berger from Bristol’s School of Biochemistry, is published in Nucleic Acids Research.
Podocin is a protein normally located on the surface of specialized kidney cells and essential for kidney function. Faulty podocin, however, remains stuck inside the cell and never makes it to the surface, damaging the podocytes (肾小球足细胞) and leading to hereditary Steroid Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome (SRNS), which cannot be cured with medications. Gene therapy (疗法) which repairs the genetic mutations causing the faulty podocin offers hope for patients.
By applying new biology techniques, the team re-engineered baculovirus, a for humans harmless insect virus to create a DNA repair vehicle. This re-engineered baculovirus is considered safe, as it could only multiply in the insect, but not in human cells. It can enter human cells very efficiently. What sets apart baculovirus from current ones Like LV, AV, and AAV is that the shell of baculovirus resembles a hollow stick — it simply becomes longer when the load increases. This means a lot more advanced tool-kit and much larger DNA pieces to repair a genetic error can be delivered, making it much more multifunctional than commonly-used systems.
The team used patient-derived podocytes carrying the disease-causing error in the genome to demonstrate the potentials of their technology. Dr Aulicino said: “There are many avenues to apply our system. In addition to podocin repair, we could show that we can correct many errors in very different places in the genome efficiently, by using our single baculovirus delivery system and the most recent editing techniques available.”
Professor Gavin Welsh said: “These results are very encouraging. It is a long road ahead to carry out a new system for clinical applications, but we believe the advantages offered make this a very worthwhile undertaking.”
12. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. The theory of a therapy. B. The cause of a disease.
C. A special protein. D. An important cell.
13. Why did the team choose baculovirus
A. Its shell is extensible. B. Its risk is controllable.
C. It can enter human cells. D. It can reproduce quickly.
14. Why did the team experimented on faulty podocytes
A. To follow a common practice in the field.
B. To make their experiment easier to perform.
C. To show the greatness of their achievements.
D. To employ the most recent editing techniques.
15. What’s Gavin Welsh’s attitude toward the study
A. Cautious. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Approving.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【原文】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了新的DNA修复试剂盒成功修复细胞中的遗传性疾病这一新技术。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Podocin is a protein normally located on the surface of specialized kidney cells and essential for kidney function. Faulty podocin, however, remains stuck inside the cell and never makes it to the surface, damaging the podocytes (肾小球足细胞) and leading to hereditary Steroid Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome (SRNS), which cannot be cured with medications.”（足素是一种通常位于特化肾细胞表面的蛋白质，对肾脏功能至关重要。然而，有缺陷的足蛋白会滞留在细胞内，永远无法到达细胞表面，从而破坏足细胞，导致遗传性类固醇抗性肾病综合征(SRNS)，这种疾病无法用药物治愈）可知，该段内容介绍了遗传性类固醇抗性肾病综合征这一疾病的原因：由于足蛋白的缺失，所以才导致了这一遗传性疾病。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段种“By applying new biology techniques, the team re-engineered baculovirus, a for humans harmless insect virus to create a DNA repair vehicle. ”（通过应用新的生物学技术，该团队重新设计了杆状病毒，一种对人类无害的昆虫病毒，以创造DNA修复载体。）以及第四段中“What sets apart baculovirus from current ones Like LV, AV, and AAV is that the shell of baculovirus resembles a hollow stick — it simply becomes longer when the load increases. This means a lot more advanced tool-kit and much larger DNA pieces to repair a genetic error can be delivered, making it much more multifunctional than commonly-used systems.”（杆状病毒与当前的病毒(如LV、AV和AAV)的区别在于，杆状病毒的外壳类似于一根中空的棍子——当负载增加时，它就会变长。这意味着可以提供更先进的工具包和更大的DNA片段来修复遗传错误，使其比常用系统更具多功能。）由此判断，杆状病毒的外壳是可以扩展的，从而提供更大的DNA片段来修复遗传上的错误，因此才会被选择来进行DNA修复。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“The team used patient-derived podocytes carrying the disease-causing error in the genome to demonstrate the potentials of their technology.”（研究小组利用患者衍生的足细胞，在基因组中携带致病错误，来证明他们的技术的潜力。）以及最后一段第一句“These results are very encouraging.”（这个结果非常令人鼓舞。）推知，研究人员选择在出错误的足细胞上做实验是为了证明这项伟大的成就。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Professor Gavin Welsh said: “These results are very encouraging. It is a long road ahead to carry out a new system for clinical applications, but we believe the advantages offered make this a very worthwhile undertaking.””（加文·威尔士教授说:“这些结果非常令人鼓舞。将新系统用于临床应用还有很长的路要走，但我们相信它所提供的优势使它成为一项非常值得的事业。”）可知，威尔士教授认为这项应用非常的有潜力，虽然有很长一段路要走，但是非常值得继续坚持下去。由此推知，他对这项研究持支持态度。A. Cautious.谨慎的；B. Dismissive.不屑一顾的；C. Doubtful.怀疑的；D. Approving.支持的。故选D。

Have you ever wished you didn’t have to wake up early and go all the way to school For 700,000 American kids, this wish comes true.___16___This kind of learning has different names: online learning or distance learning. Regardless of what it is called, this idea may create an impression of a lonely kid reading pages of information on a computer screen rather than from a book or an image of another kid spending the day playing video games instead of learning mathematics or reading a book. Where online education is concerned, both of these are false! Actually, online learning simply means learning differently.
___17___Flexibility is the main advantage. Students can attend school wherever and whenever they desire. Homework can be turned in from anywhere the student has Internet access. Additionally, many online schools will allow students to work at their own pace.
Another advantage of online schooling is with the variety of courses. Most online schools teach the same basic classes like English, math, science, and history.___18___However, traditional schools are often unable to offer these types of classes if there are not enough students.
Online schools also have different types of learning tools for kids to use. For example, many online schools have special Web sites where only students registered in online classes can watch videos, see lessons presented, or chat with teachers and other students. Some online schools have live class times where students can call and talk with the teacher directly. ___19___
Computer technology is amazing, and we use computers for chatting with our friends, listening to music, and playing games.___20___Since 2012, at least 38 states either have had their own online schools or made rules for students attending them. It looks like online schools are here to stay, but only you can decide if this type of learning is right for you.
A. Online schools offer many benefits for the learners.
B. Of course, there are some disadvantages of going to school online.
C. Almost every part of our lives is affected by it, and school is no exception.

40. and 41. that##which
42. appeals##has appealed
43. featuring
44. clues 45. it
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是甲骨文的发现的意义。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意：村民们当时并不知道他们发现了什么，只是把骨头当作中药卖给了药店。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词短语“Chinese medicines”，tradition的形容词是traditional，意为“传统的”，故填traditional。
【37题详解】
考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：这一发现之后进行了一系列考古发掘。由by可知，句子用被动语态，句子描述过去的事情，时态用一般过去时，因此空格处是一般过去时的被动语态，即was/were done，主语discovery是单数，因此空格处是was followed。故填was followed。
【38题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：在过去的120年里，进行了大规模的系统挖掘。carry out是固定短语，意为“执行，实行”，因此空格处是out，故填out。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在被联合国教科文组织认定为世界遗产的殷墟遗址，已经建成了一个遗址博物馆。句中谓语是has been built，空格处用非谓语动词，museum和recognize之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，故填recognized。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意：甲骨文的发现有助于探索夏商文化，追溯中华文明的起源。explore和trace之间是并列关系，且句子是肯定句，因此空格处用and表并列，故填and。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：铭文的内容强调了对祖先的尊重和其他一直流传到今天的中国核心价值观。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词“core Chinese values”是物，因此空格处用关系代词that/which，故填that/which。
【42题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：它不仅吸引了学者，而且也吸引了考古圈外的人。根据语境可知，句子可表示客观事实，时态用一般现在时，也可用现在完成时，表示已经完成的动作，主语It是单数，因此空格处是appeals/has appealed。故填appeals/has appealed。
【43题详解】
考查动名词。句意：清华大学艺术设计学院教授Chen Nan将这些古老的符号融入了自己开发的表情包中，为这些符号注入了活力。by是介词，其后跟动名词作宾语，故填featuring。
【44题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意：它们代表了我们文化谱系的线索。clue是可数名词，此处表示不止一个，因此空格处用复数，故填clues。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意：我觉得我们有责任向年轻一代和外国人传播原始铭文的魅力。空格处用it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是不定式，feel it our responsibility to do意为“觉得做某事是我们的责任”，故填it。

She flew to Boston on the east coast of the US. Later, she settled in a new neighborhood in East Boston. However, shortly afterwards, the company where she worked went bankrupt (破产). Suffering a series of bitter blows, she fell ill, a severe case of flu. She had to stay at home for the whole week, feeling extremely bad and hopeless.
Early one morning, Linda lay in bed, feeling painful all over. Then all of a sudden, there was an upsetting knock on her front door. Struggling out of the bed, she dragged herself to the window. There, outside, she saw a young lady carefully holding some leaflets(传单)and a TV set model. She knew of a large TV set establishment nearby and assumed a message was about to be gently delivered. “This is the last thing I need today.” She muttered to herself and hesitantly opened the door.
Coughing bitterly, Linda stuck her head out. “Excuse me, madam…” the young lady said with a smile. “I’m sorry but I am not the slightest bit interested in any TV whatever.” Linda interrupted her impatiently. “As a matter of fact, I am feeling terribly awful.” “Is there anything I can do for you, madam ” the young lady asked with concern. “No thanks, just leave me alone.” Linda then shut the door in her face. The young lady politely turned and left in silence.

A few hours later, another knock. Linda glanced out of the window. To her surprise, at the door was the same lady, back again. Really annoyed this time, Linda opened the door. Before Linda could utter any word, the young lady handed her a warm pot, with a concerned look on the face. “I’m so sorry to have disturbed you earlier. I thought you may need this homemade chicken soup. Hope it might make you feel a little better. ”
Linda was surprised by this lovely action. After being refused so rudely, the lady still showed much kindness to her. A sense of shame creeping upon her heart, she could only force a smile with burning ears. But also, a warm current surged through her brain and body. Linda took the chicken soup gratefully, tears blurring her eyes and a lump in her throat. The lady wrapped Linda in her arms and patted her on the back. “It’s OK, dear. Everything will be fine.” Hearing these words, Linda felt a ray of bright sunshine lighting up her life.

Last year, my Singapore-based sister insisted my mother and I join her for the Christmas. My mum, a fearless woman, would get strangely nervous on flights. Perhaps the only thing that convinced her to overcome her fears was the chance to piece together our declining bond.
Growing up, moments with Mum were painfully short-lived because I spent most time at the boarding school, reuniting only during the holidays. Every year, she would eagerly await my return, which would always lead to constant loving scenes. Those cherished moments were gradually vanishing as I moved away for university. Soon, our relationship became tense. She seemed unable to comprehend me and her stubborn and old-fashioned advice forced me to shut myself. But the more I pulled away, the more I felt a longing for the bond that had grown so dim. Perhaps Singapore would give us a chance to breathe it back to life.
I assumed the immersive exhibits at Art Science Museum would refresh my mother, who was an art student. However, I was surprised when she just turned her nose up at the Bruges Whale, a sculpture using plastic waste to raise awareness about ocean pollution. “It’s art, Mum! Be more appreciative.” I defended.
Disheartened by the distance between us, I led her to the kid’s zone. We signed up for a joint sketching activity, hoping that would help us connect. As our creative juices flowed, our faded relationship began to take on the hues and shades of something sincere and beautiful.
“Look!” she excitedly pointed towards a digital screen that displayed our creations. “That one’s ours.” Mum went up and reached out, touching the fish as it moved its tail back and forth in the virtual tank.
Looking around, I saw children sharing moments with their parents, and my own childhood flashed back. That rare instance where she let slip an inner innocence and delight at a new experience revealed the little girl in her, who was like me, had lost a vital connection to responsibilities of motherhood.
“Our time together was like that of friends. You were my mother, and I’m a child following you around.” My mum said to me with a smile.
4. What made Mum accept the visit to Singapore
A. The resolve to overcome the nervousness on flight.
B. The desire to restore relationship with her children.
C. The sincere invitation of my Singapore-based sister.
D. The expectation for Art Science Museum as an artist.
5. What is the attitude of Mum towards the Bruges Whale
A. She felt it a huge waste to make it from plastic.
B. She showed a great interest in this work of art.
C. She didn’t think it good enough to be exhibited.
D. She considered it beneficial to ocean protection.
6. What can we learn from the sketching activity
A. It revealed Mum’s inner ignorance like a girl.
B. It explored causes for faded bond between families.
C. It let Mum totally lose responsibilities of motherhood.
D It provided an opportunity to share moments with families.
7. What do Mum’s words imply in the last paragraph
A. A good medicine tastes bitter. B. Life has indeed come full circle.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Nothing is impossible to a willing mind.
C
In Australia, as the world locked down to slow the tide of the Covid-19 outbreak, Dr. Daniel Reardon, an astrophysicist living in Melbourne, was admitted to hospital after getting four magnets (磁铁) stuck up his nose in an attempt to invent a device that stops people touching their faces during the coronavirus outbreak. Originally, Reardon, who despite his qualifications has by his own account really no experience or expertise in building circuits or things, planned to use his time creating a device that — worn as a necklace, with a powerful neodymium magnet worn on the wrist — would set off an alarm if you brought your hand too close to your face. However, it turned out that Reardon’s facility did the opposite. The necklace screams continuously unless you move your hand close to your face.
After this initial failure, it seems, lockdown boredom really set in. Reardon started playing with the magnets, clipping (夹住) them to his face and then to his nostril. Things went downhill pretty quickly when he clipped them to his other nostril.
He placed two magnets inside his nostrils, and two on the outside. When he removed the magnets from the outside of his nose, the two inside stuck together. He decided to Google the problem and found the solution was more magnets on the outside to offset the pull from the ones inside.
As he was pulling downwards to try and remove the magnets, they clipped on to each other and he lost his grip. And those two magnets ended up in his left nostril while the other one was in his right. At that point he ran out of magnets.
Ultimately, after some further struggles involving some pliers which became magnetized, Reardon was hospitalized — with his partner, who works at a hospital, taking him in because she wanted all her colleagues to laugh at him. After the magnets were successfully removed, Reardon received some medical notes which contained the phrase: “Denies difficulty breathing. Denies further magnets.”
8. Why did Reardon start his invention
A To amuse himself. B. To remind wearers.
C. To stop covid-19. D. To kill time.
9. What resulted in Reardon’s unsuccessful attempt
A. He lacked qualifications. B. He was inexperienced.
C. He had no spare parts. D. He was fully occupied.
10. What can we learn from paragraphs 3 & 4
A. Each of Reardon’s nostrils had two magnets in.
B. It’s dangerous to play with neodymium magnets.
C. People tend to surf the Internet for their problems.

New DNA Repair-kit Successfully Fixes Hereditary (遗传性的) Disease in Cells
Genetic mutations (突变) which cause a weakening hereditary kidney disease affecting children and young adults have been fixed in kidney cells from a patient using a potentially game-changing DNA repair-kit. The advance, developed by the team led by Dr Francesco Aulicino and Professor Imre Berger from Bristol’s School of Biochemistry, is published in Nucleic Acids Research.
Podocin is a protein normally located on the surface of specialized kidney cells and essential for kidney function. Faulty podocin, however, remains stuck inside the cell and never makes it to the surface, damaging the podocytes (肾小球足细胞) and leading to hereditary Steroid Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome (SRNS), which cannot be cured with medications. Gene therapy (疗法) which repairs the genetic mutations causing the faulty podocin offers hope for patients.
By applying new biology techniques, the team re-engineered baculovirus, a for humans harmless insect virus to create a DNA repair vehicle. This re-engineered baculovirus is considered safe, as it could only multiply in the insect, but not in human cells. It can enter human cells very efficiently. What sets apart baculovirus from current ones Like LV, AV, and AAV is that the shell of baculovirus resembles a hollow stick — it simply becomes longer when the load increases. This means a lot more advanced tool-kit and much larger DNA pieces to repair a genetic error can be delivered, making it much more multifunctional than commonly-used systems.
The team used patient-derived podocytes carrying the disease-causing error in the genome to demonstrate the potentials of their technology. Dr Aulicino said: “There are many avenues to apply our system. In addition to podocin repair, we could show that we can correct many errors in very different places in the genome efficiently, by using our single baculovirus delivery system and the most recent editing techniques available.”
Professor Gavin Welsh said: “These results are very encouraging. It is a long road ahead to carry out a new system for clinical applications, but we believe the advantages offered make this a very worthwhile undertaking.”
12. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. The theory of a therapy. B. The cause of a disease.
C. A special protein. D. An important cell.
13. Why did the team choose baculovirus
A. Its shell is extensible. B. Its risk is controllable.
C It can enter human cells. D. It can reproduce quickly.
14. Why did the team experimented on faulty podocytes
A. To follow a common practice in the field.
B. To make their experiment easier to perform.
C. To show the greatness of their achievements.
D. To employ the most recent editing techniques.
15 What’s Gavin Welsh’s attitude toward the study
A. Cautious. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Approving.

Have you ever wished you didn’t have to wake up early and go all the way to school For 700,000 American kids, this wish comes true.___16___This kind of learning has different names: online learning or distance learning. Regardless of what it is called, this idea may create an impression of a lonely kid reading pages of information on a computer screen rather than from a book or an image of another kid spending the day playing video games instead of learning mathematics or reading a book. Where online education is concerned, both of these are false! Actually, online learning simply means learning differently.
___17___Flexibility is the main advantage. Students can attend school wherever and whenever they desire. Homework can be turned in from anywhere the student has Internet access. Additionally, many online schools will allow students to work at their own pace.
Another advantage of online schooling is with the variety of courses. Most online schools teach the same basic classes like English, math, science, and history.___18___However, traditional schools are often unable to offer these types of classes if there are not enough students.
Online schools also have different types of learning tools for kids to use. For example, many online schools have special Web sites where only students registered in online classes can watch videos, see lessons presented, or chat with teachers and other students. Some online schools have live class times where students can call and talk with the teacher directly. ___19___
Computer technology is amazing, and we use computers for chatting with our friends, listening to music, and playing games.___20___Since 2012, at least 38 states either have had their own online schools or made rules for students attending them. It looks like online schools are here to stay, but only you can decide if this type of learning is right for you.
A. Online schools offer many benefits for the learners.
B. Of course there are some disadvantages of going to school online.

Last winter, Linda went through a very messy divorce and was very depressed. So she quit her job and left Los Angeles, where she encountered her ex-husband in college. She flew to Boston on the east coast of the US. Later, she settled in a new neighborhood in East Boston. However, shortly afterwards, the company where she worked went bankrupt (破产). Suffering a series of bitter blows, she fell ill, a severe case of flu. She had to stay at home for the whole week, feeling extremely bad and hopeless.
Early one morning, Linda lay in bed, feeling painful all over. Then all of a sudden, there was an upsetting knock on her front door. Struggling out of the bed, she dragged herself to the window. There, outside, she saw a young lady carefully holding some leaflets(传单)and a TV set model. She knew of a large TV set establishment nearby and assumed a message was about to be gently delivered. “This is the last thing I need today.” She muttered to herself and hesitantly opened the door.
Coughing bitterly, Linda stuck her head out. “Excuse me, madam…” the young lady said with a smile. “I’m sorry but I am not the slightest bit interested in any TV whatever.” Linda interrupted her impatiently. “As a matter of fact, I am feeling terribly awful.” “Is there anything I can do for you, madam ” the young lady asked with concern. “No thanks, just leave me alone.” Linda then shut the door in her face. The young lady politely turned and left in silence.
