第二部分   阅读理解

（共25小题。第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分；满分45分）

第一节   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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

D

When people lose legs after accidents or illnesses, emergency care and artificial limbs（假肢）often allow them to walk again. Newts （蝾螈） in the same situation, on the other hand, can grow limbs back on their own! Scientists have known for a long time that certain animals can re–grow limbs, but they haven’t quite figured out how these creatures do it.

  Researchers have now come up with some new ideas. Their work may give people the ability to re – grow lost limbs. The researchers started with two simple experiments：when you cut a newt’s leg at the ankle, only the foot grows back；when you cut off a leg at the very end, the whole leg grows back. In both cases, the re–growth begins with stem cells. Stem cells can develop into nearly any type of cell in the body.

How do a newt’s stem cells know when to grow only a foot and when to re–grow a whole leg?

This question relates to another mystery. In newts, a cut–off leg will grow back only if the nerve bundle（神经束）in it also grows back , but if something prevents the nerve bundle from growing, the stem cells at the wound won’t re–grow a new leg.

In its study, a British team focused on a protein called nAG. When the team prevented nerves in a limb from growing, but added the nAG protein to stem cells in the limb, the limb still re–grew. That protein seems to guide limb re–growth. People have proteins that are similar to nAG. Further research into these materials may someday help human limbs recover by themselves.

In the experiments, the researchers cut off a newt’s foot or leg to find out _____.

 A. what stem cells were                  B. whether they would grow back

 C. how long it would take to re–grow    D. how they would re – grow

A newt will re–grow its leg if _____.

 A. its ankle was cut off but the nerve bundle was good

 B. its leg was cut off and the nerve bundle stopped growing

C. its leg was cut off and the nerve bundle could grow back

D. its ankle and the nerve bundle were cut off

What do the underlined words “these materials” refer to?

A. Nerve bundles and proteins.            B. Proteins similar to nAG.

 C. Stem cells and proteins.              D. Stem cells and nerve bundles.

The first sentence of the passage _____.

 A. acts as a lead–in                  

B. shows where researchers got their new ideas

C. states the author’s opinion          

D. describes the result of researchers’ studies
