阅读理解,阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  Cells were discovered in 1665 by Robert Hooke when he took a piece of cork and looked at it under a microscope.Cork is made up of dead cells but you are still able to see the cells which proved to be interesting to him.He described it as being made of something, just like a wall is made of bricks.He then called those bricks “cells”.Due to the size of cells, it is nearly impossible to see them without the aid of a light microscope, but by using an electron microscope you'd be able to see cells in much greater detail.

  There's a cell theory which is made up of four basic ideas.First, cells are the building blocks of life.Second, cells are derived from other cells by division.Third, cells contain DNA(the blueprint for life).Fourth, the cell is the functioning unit of life, and the chemical reactions of life take place within cells.

  There are two types of cells, animal cells and plant cells.Plant cells differ from animal cells in many ways.Plant cells have a large central vacuole(液泡), with the nucleus(细胞核)nearer to the side of the cell instead of in the middle like in animal cells.Another big difference is that plant cells can produce and store sugar as starch(淀粉)while animal cells contain glycogen(糖原).

  It's noteworthy to mention that a cell cannot survive without the nucleus which acts as a type of control center; it runs the cells.The nucleus contains DNA, which in turn contains the cell's genes.These genes tell the cell how to grow.DNA contains the genetic blueprint that tells if you have blonde hair and blue eyes.

                                   A

Scars of Love

Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks and shirt as he went.

He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator(短吻鳄) was getting close. The mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water, yelling to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him. From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched (抓住) his legs. That began an unbelievable tug-of-war (拔河比赛) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, rushed from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.

Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred (留下伤疤) by the terrible attack of the animal. And on his arms, were deep scratches where his mother’s fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.

The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy after the trauma (外伤), asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted the pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, “Look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mum wouldn’t let go.”

You and I can identify with (认同) that little boy. We have scars, too. Not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds, my friends, are because we have refused to let go.

56. The underlined part “the two” in the second paragraph refers to ______.

   A. the alligator and the mother         B. the mother and the son

C. the driver and the alligator          D. the son and the alligator

57. From the passage we can infer ________.

   A. The mother was unwilling to let the alligator go

   B. The mother was actually stronger than the alligator

   C. The son was proud of his scars on his arms

   D. The son was ashamed of his scars on his legs

58. According to the last paragraph, what is the writer’s real meaning?

   A. To forget the past is to betray.       B. We should forget the scars.

   C. Wounds are different from scars.     D. We should learn to let go sometimes.
