Have you heard of Shennong, a legendary(传说中的) ruler in ancient China about 5,000 years ago He could know what plants do to human bodies because he had a transparent(透明的) belly(肚子). After eating plants, he could see what was going on inside. This way, he found plants that were good for people’s health. And now, scientists may have found away for everyone to see through their skin. In a recent study, scientists at Stanford University in the US used a yellow food dye(染料) to make the shin of a mouse transparent for a while. People often use this dye in snack foods and candies. In the study, scientists took off the fur of some mice and put the dye on their skin. After a while, they could see through mice’s brains and see how food moves through their bodies. “It takes a few minutes for the transparency to appear,” said one of the scientists, Zihao Ou. After they washed away the dye, the skin looked normal again. The dye doesn’t hurt animals.
When scientists mix this dye with water and put it on the mice’s skin, it turns the water under the skin into something more like proteins(蛋白质) and fats. The skin then scatters(散射) less light. The less light things scatter, the more transparent they look. That’s why the skin looks transparent. In the future, this dye may be used on people’s bodies. It could also help find cancer(癌症) earlier.
44. How did Shennong know what plants do to human bodies
A. He read many books about plants. B. He could see inside his own belly.
C. He ate different kinds of plants. D. He could see through other people’s bellies.
45. What do we know about the dye used in the study
A. It is hard to wash off. B. It can dye clothes yellow.
C. It took a few minutes to work on mice. D. It is good for animals’ brains.
46. Why does the skin look transparent after using the dye
A. The dye makes the skin thinner. B. The dye changes the skin color.
C. The dye makes the skin scatter less light. D. The dye turns proteins and fats into water.
C

六、读写综合
（一）阅读并回答问题。(共5小题，每小题2分，计10分)
“You pretty, he ugly(丑陋).You swan, he frog(青蛙)!” Foreign people just love this funny English sentence going around the Chinese Internet. It all started when a foreign girl named Kris posted a sad photo online. It looked like her boyfriend made her cry. Some nice Chinese people tried to cheer her up. They asked her to find someone better. Some made funny Chinglish to make her feel happy, such as “You swan, he frog.”
This became a hit(热点) with foreigners. Many found it cool. They shared it a lot online and made funny pictures with it.
“I need Chinese netizens in my life who call the people that have hurt me frogs,” said a foreign internet user, showing her love for the expression. Some of them wanted to know why Chinese people use “swan” and “frog” to describe this couple. After looking into it, they learned that it came from the famous old Chinese story of the beautiful swan and the ugly toad(癞蛤蟆), and got interested in the Chinese stories behind Chinglish.
In the past, people often corrected those who spoke Chinglish because of many grammar errors. However, with globalization(全球化), people from different countries can now share their ideas more often. Different styles of speaking English are becoming common and even accepted. English with local touches can also be popular. For example, the well-known “add oil” has now appeared in the Oxford dictionary and people use it widely. The phrase shows Chinese culture.
“Once I understood the full meaning, it became much funnier,” said Cody, a young man from New Zealand, when asked about “you swan, he frog”. “It’s great that more Chinese culture is being shared with the rest of the world,” he told China Daily.
回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。
Who posted a sad photo online
What did the expression “You swan, he frog.” become with foreigners later
Where does the expression “You swan, he frog.” come from
Why did people often correct those who spoke Chinglish in the past
What do you think of these Chinglish phases
