American researchers have developed a technique that may become an important tool in fighting AIDS.The technique stops the AIDS virus from attacking its target-cells in the body's defense system.When AIDS virus enters the blood, it searches for blood cells called T4 lymphocytes(淋巴细胞).The virus connects to the outside of T4 lymphocytes, then forces its way inside.There it directs the cells' genetic(基因的) material to produce copies of the AIDS virus.This is how AIDS spreads.

Researchers think they may be able to stop AIDS from spreading by preventing virus from connecting to T4 cells.When AIDS virus finds a T4 cell, it actually connects to a part of the cell called CD4 protein.

Researchers want to fool the virus by putting copies or clones of the CD4 protein into the blood.This way the AIDS virus will connect to the cloned protein instead of the real ones.Scientists use the genetic engineering methods to make the clones.Normally a CD4 protein remains on the T4 cell at all times.The AIDS virus must go to it.

In a new technique, however, the cloned CD4 protein is not connected to a cell.It floats freely, so many more can be put into the blood to keep the AIDS virus away from real CD4 proteins on T4 cells.One report says the AIDS virus connects to the cloned proteins just as effectively as to real protein.That report was based on tests with blood cells grown in labs.The technique is just now beginning to be tested in animals.If successful, it may be tested in humans within a year.

1.The new technique can ________.

       A.kill the AIDS virus

       B.produce new anti-AIDS cells

       C.produce new medicines for AIDS

       D.prevent the AIDS virus from spreading

2.When the AIDS virus enters the blood, it is reproduced by ________.

       A.any blood cells in the body

       B.the inside of the virus itself

       C.the genetic material of T4 cells

       D.the outside of the T4 lymphocytes

3.The AIDS virus connects to cloned proteins instead of to the real ones because ________.

       A.the cloned proteins stay on the T4 cells

       B.the cloned proteins can float freely in the blood

       C.the cloned proteins are the same as the real proteins

       D.the cloned proteins are made by genetic engineering methods

4.Which of the following could be the best title of this passage?

       A.The Genetic Causes of AIDS.

       B.A New Approach of Fighting AIDS.

       C.A Report on the Spread of AIDS Virus.

       D.The Technique of Cloned CD4 Protein.

New comers to the United States are often surprised by the schools.American schools sometimes seem so different from schools they know in other parts of the world.American education is based on the idea that children need to learn to think for themselves.The school should be the place where they learn to do this.In school,children learn the“three R's”(Reading,Writing and Arithmetic),history and government(often called Social Studies)and many other subjects.They also learn how to be independent,how to make their own judgment,and how to develop their own abilities and interests.The American teacher does not want the children in her class to sit with hands folded quietly and to say nothing.She wants them to listen attentively,to ask questions.She knows what children learn from books is important.She also knows that it is necessary for them to know how to use this learning for their growth and development.During Open School Week,parents have a chance to see how American education works.?

I am so worried about global warming. We need stop cutting down all of the trees so that they can absorb the carbon dioxide. I think the Kyoto Protocol (京都议定书) to stop pollution is a great idea ,and I hope our country will decide to follow it, too.

                                                             — Eli S.,10,Texa

People should do all they can to help stop pollution, even if it is something as little as recycling your soda can. Every little thing helps. Maybe schools can put recycling bins in classrooms. Students can bring in all of their cans and bottles and see how many the school can collect.

                                                  — Lindsey A.,11, Massachusett

The United States should take action to help stop pollution. Since we are one of the richest countries, we should at least spend a little money to help.

                                                  — Aaron z,11,Massachusett

It is not good that the United States is not following the Kyoto Protocol. The U.S. is one of the most pollution emitting (污染物排放)countries in the world. Even if the rest of the world agrees to follow those rules, without the U. S. and its big businesses agreeing, global warming will still be a big problem.

                                                         —Augustine S.,11,Ohio

The world needs to learn more about global warming problems. If we do not do something soon then some of Earth’s coolest animals will become extinct. People should use solar power instead of things that pollute the atmosphere!

                                                    — Jillian J.,10,Pennsylvania

Global warming is very dangerous, and it must be prevented. Even if people think that it cannot be stopped ,we should  at least try. Stopping global warming is more important than keeping our businesses going. What about the penguins(企鹅)and the polar bears? We can’t just let them become extinct.

                                                        —Samantha R.,11,Illinois

72.Why does Lindsey suggest schools put recycling bins in classrooms?

       A.To keep the classroom clean            B. To help protect wild animals.

       C.To help protect our earth.            D. To collect waste in classroom.

73.Augustine worries that global warming problems will be difficult to solve because       .

         A.many people think that global warming cannot be stopped

       B.more and more trees are being cut down

       C.American government spends little money stopping pollution

       D.the U.S. refuses to follow the Kyoto Protocol

74.Jillian and Samantha believe that      .

       A.solar power is earth-friendly energy  

         B.global warming threatens animals’ survival

         C.America is the richest country in the world

         D.the penguins and the polar bears are dying out

75.What do the six children mainly talk about?

         A.Environmental problems.    B.The Kyoto Protocol.

         C.Animal protection.                       D.The climate change.

Shopping in the United States changes a lot.About ninety years ago most people shopped in small stores that were owned by one person or a family.Women went from the bakery to the butcher’s to the grocer and on to the fruit and vegetable seller in order to get their food for the week.Then, about sixty years ago, supermarkets were born.In a supermarket, people could get all the different kinds of food they needed without going to different stores.

    The next big change in shopping in the United States was the shopping mall.A shopping mall is a group of stores under one roof.Because malls allowed people to shop without worrying about the weather, they soon became very popular.The mall became a place for people to socialize in addition to shopping.If you walk through a mall, you will see older people sitting, chatting and drinking coffee.Malls are places for teenagers to hang out.Many teens will often just “go to the mall” and spend time with their friends.

    The recent change in American shopping was the superstore.Large chain stores such as Wal-Mart, Office Depot and Toys “R” Us have been built all across the United States.Because they are so large, they can buy goods at a great discount and sell them much cheaper than smaller stores.Sometimes, when they are built near small towns, many of the small town stores have to close.They just cannot compete with their giant neighbors.

    And now, online shopping is becoming more and more popular all over the States.People are too busy to go to the physical stores, so they go shopping over the Internet.Online shopping has lots of advantages.For instance, online stores are usually available 24 hours a day.Searching or browsing online shops can be faster than browsing the physical stores.While, online shopping also has its disadvantages.People are at higher risk of being cheated on the part of the merchant than in a physical store.And privacy of personal information may be let out.

1.Which of the following shows the right order of shopping development in the United States?

    ①small stores  ②superstores  ③shopping malls  ④shopping online ⑤supermarkets

    A.①②③④⑤     B.①⑤③②④     C.②③④①⑤     D.①⑤②③④

2.Which is the place for people to spend time with others according to the passage?

    A.Small stores. B.Supermarkets. C.Shopping malls D.Superstores.

3.Why can the superstores sell products at much lower prices?

    A.Because they can buy goods at a reduction in price.

    B.Because they are across the United States.

    C.Because they sell all kinds of products people need.

    D.Because they are built near small towns.

4.What’s the disadvantage of online shopping according to the passage?

    A.Wasting time.                   B.Fixed prices.
