Rescarchers in the US treated healthy mice with a form of gene therapy that refreshed older cells, making the animals more youthful according to biological markers that are used to measure the effects of ageing. Repeating the trick in humans is far from straightforward, but the findings will fuel interest in new therapiesthat aim to slow or reverse theageing process as a means of tackling age-related diseases such as cancers and Alzheimer’s.
The scientists drew on previous work by the Japanese Nobel winner Prof Shinya Yamanaka, who showed that a mixture of four molecules(原子)—known as Yamanaka factors—can turn adult cells into youthful stem cells that are capable of forming almost any tissue (组织) in the body.
Writing in the journal Nature Aging,the US team led by Jasper and Prof Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte at the Salk Institute in California and the San Diego Altos Institute, found that mice who received Yamanaka factors for several months were similar to younger animals in many ways, with their skin in particular showing signs of rejuvenation(恢复青春).
The experiments showed that rejuvenation was more effective when the therapy was given for a long time—7 to 10 months—starting when the animals were 12 to 15 months old, equal to age 35 to 50 in humans. Whén older animals, equal to 80 years old in human terms, were treated for one month, the scientists saw little impact.
Rather than using Yamanaka factors to rejuvenate aged humans, many scientists suspect that new drugs will be needed to partially reprogram cells safely and effectively. “In theory, biological age reversal or reduction could be possible. However, we are at very early stages where we need to understand the basic science behind it much better,” said Dr.Tamir Chandra, an expert in the biology of ageing at the University of Edinburgh.
4. Which of the following best describes the findings of the research?
A. Suspicious.
B. Tricky.
C. Amusing.
D. Inspiring.
5. What can we say about Yamanaka factors?
A. They are made up of three molecules.
B. They can probably rejuvenate mice’s skin.
C. They were first found by a Japanese scientist.
D. They can become a part of mice’s body tissue.
6. What can be inferred from the findings of the experiments?
A. The therapy given for a long time works better.
B. Humans may have better outcomes than animals.
C. The rejuvenation is more effective for people aged 12 to 15.
D. Older animals can live longer with the help of the treatment.
7. What do Dr.Tamir Chandra’s words mainly tell us?
A. The researches are far from complete.
B. The process of growing old cannot be stopped.
C. The basic rule behind rejuvenation is fully understood.
D. The new drug has been put into use safely and effectively.

I first came to Berwickshire for a job-to be the Ranger for the Berwickshire Marine Reserve.I was then Senior Ranger for St Abb’s Head National Nature Reserve and I set up my own business, In Our Nature, offering wildlife journeys,walks,talks and courses in 2020. There’s so much I love about Berwickshire.Its stunning scenery. Its variety of landscapes and habitats and range of amazing wildlife, both above and below the water. Its friendly people. In places you can feel like you are a million miles from anywhere, when in reality you’re just an hour’s drive from Edinburgh.
The thing that supports everything on the Berwickshire Coast is its varied and fascinating geology(地质).The jewel in the crown is Siccar Point. With its world-famous non-conformity(均变)，it’s considered the birthplace of modern geology. The geology not only shapes the landscape, but it also impacts on the wildlife, forming varied habitats from steep sheltered valleys and towering cliffs to sheltered sandy bays.
There’s nothing I like more than being out in nature and sharing my passion with others, so starting up In Our Nature was a no brainer. In the warmer months I offer tours on land and sea to help folk enjoy the amazing wildlife and scenery of the Berwickshire Coast. In the darker months my online courses help people learn about wildlife in the hope that it will increase their enjoyment of the marine and coastal environments they spend time in.
My favourite spot on the Berwickshire Coast has got to be a place called Petticowick. The views up the coast and inland to the Mire Loch are second to none. It’s a place where you can marvel at geology which covers unimaginable periods of time. You can listen to and watch thousands of seabirds that return to the cliffs to breed each spring. Or witness all the amazing activity of the breeding seal colony on the beach below during the early winter.
8. Why did the author go to Berwickshire?
A. To do sightseeing.
B. To make friends.
C. To work in a reserve.
D. To study wildlife.
9. What do the underlined words “The jewel in the crown" mean?
A. The highest part.
B. The most attractive part.
C. The valueless part.
D. The advanced part.
10. How does the author help people get to know wildlife in darker months?
A. By providing online courses.
B. By sharing her experiences.
C. By offering tours on land.
D. By organizing trips to the sea.
11. What can we learn from the text?
A. Modern geology needs further study.
B. Petticowick should be well preserved.
C. People should not take advantage of nature.
D. The author is enthusiastic about Berwickshire.
D
A Dutch city will become the first in the world to ban meat advertisements from public spaces in an effort to reduce consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.The ban also covers holiday flights, fossil fuels and cars that run on fossil fuels.The ban is delayed until 2024 due to existing contracts with companies that sell the products.
Haarlem, which lies to the west of Amsterdam and has a population of about 160,000,will bring the ban into effect from 2024 after meat was added to a list of products deemed to contribute to the climate crisis. Advertisements will not be allowed on Haarlem’s buses, shelters and screens in public spaces, prompting complaints from the meat sector that the government is “going too far in telling people what’s best for them”.
Recent studies suggest global food production is responsible for one-third of all planet-heating emissions,with the use of animals for meat accounting for twice the pollution of producing plant-based foods. Forests that absorb carbon dioxide are cut down for the food of animals while fertilisers used for growing their feed are rich in nitrogen(氮)，which can contribute to air pollution，water pollution and climate change. Livestock also produces large quantities of methane(甲烷)，a powerful greenhouse gas.
Zlggy Klazes,a councillor from the GroenLinks party, said she had not known the city would be the world’s first to enforce such a policy when she proposed it. She told the Haarlem105 radio channel:“We are not about what people are baking and roasting in their own kitchen;if people want to continue eating meat, it’s fine. We can’t tell people there’s a climate crisis and meanwhile,encourage them to buy products that are part of the cause. Of course, there are a lot of people who find the decision shocking and unreasonable,but there are also a lot of people who think it’s fine.”
12. What does the meat sector think of the ban?
A. Disapproving.
B. Neutral.
C. Indifferent.
D. Positive.
13. What do recent studies show?
A. Nitrogen is harmful to the environment.
B. Methane mainly comes from livestock.
C. Meat consumption causes more pollution.
D. People cut down trees for human habitation.
14 What message do Ziggy Klazes’s words convey?
A. She is the first to ban meat advertisement.
B. She is in favor of banning meat advertising.
C. She emphasizes the advantage of eating meat.
D. She cares about what people cook in the kitchen
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Fossil fuels are banned in Dutch city.
B. Dutch city decreases meat production.
C. Dutch city bans meat advertisements in public.
D. Greenhouse gas emissions are limited in Dutch city.

Rescarchers in the US treated healthy mice with a form of gene therapy that refreshed older cells, making the animals more youthful according to biological markers that are used to measure the effects of ageing. Repeating the trick in humans is far from straightforward, but the findings will fuel interest in new therapiesthat aim to slow or reverse theageing process as a means of tackling age-related diseases such as cancers and Alzheimer’s.
The scientists drew on previous work by the Japanese Nobel winner Prof Shinya Yamanaka, who showed that a mixture of four molecules(原子)—known as Yamanaka factors—can turn adult cells into youthful stem cells that are capable of forming almost any tissue (组织) in the body.
Writing in the journal Nature Aging,the US team led by Jasper and Prof Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte at the Salk Institute in California and the San Diego Altos Institute, found that mice who received Yamanaka factors for several months were similar to younger animals in many ways, with their skin in particular showing signs of rejuvenation(恢复青春).
The experiments showed that rejuvenation was more effective when the therapy was given for a long time—7 to 10 months—starting when the animals were 12 to 15 months old, equal to age 35 to 50 in humans. Whén older animals, equal to 80 years old in human terms, were treated for one month, the scientists saw little impact.
Rather than using Yamanaka factors to rejuvenate aged humans, many scientists suspect that new drugs will be needed to partially reprogram cells safely and effectively. “In theory, biological age reversal or reduction could be possible. However, we are at very early stages where we need to understand the basic science behind it much better,” said Dr.Tamir Chandra, an expert in the biology of ageing at the University of Edinburgh.
4. Which of the following best describes the findings of the research?
A. Suspicious.
B. Tricky.
C. Amusing.
D. Inspiring.
5. What can we say about Yamanaka factors?
A. They are made up of three molecules.
B. They can probably rejuvenate mice’s skin.
C. They were first found by a Japanese scientist.
D. They can become a part of mice’s body tissue.
6. What can be inferred from the findings of the experiments?
A. The therapy given for a long time works better.
B. Humans may have better outcomes than animals.
C. The rejuvenation is more effective for people aged 12 to 15.
D. Older animals can live longer with the help of the treatment.
7. What do Dr.Tamir Chandra’s words mainly tell us?
A. The researches are far from complete.
B. The process of growing old cannot be stopped.
C. The basic rule behind rejuvenation is fully understood.
D. The new drug has been put into use safely and effectively.

I first came to Berwickshire for a job-to be the Ranger for the Berwickshire Marine Reserve.I was then Senior Ranger for St Abb’s Head National Nature Reserve and I set up my own business, In Our Nature, offering wildlife journeys,walks,talks and courses in 2020. There’s so much I love about Berwickshire.Its stunning scenery. Its variety of landscapes and habitats and range of amazing wildlife, both above and below the water. Its friendly people. In places you can feel like you are a million miles from anywhere, when in reality you’re just an hour’s drive from Edinburgh.
The thing that supports everything on the Berwickshire Coast is its varied and fascinating geology(地质).The jewel in the crown is Siccar Point. With its world-famous non-conformity(均变)，it’s considered the birthplace of modern geology. The geology not only shapes the landscape, but it also impacts on the wildlife, forming varied habitats from steep sheltered valleys and towering cliffs to sheltered sandy bays.
There’s nothing I like more than being out in nature and sharing my passion with others, so starting up In Our Nature was a no brainer. In the warmer months I offer tours on land and sea to help folk enjoy the amazing wildlife and scenery of the Berwickshire Coast. In the darker months my online courses help people learn about wildlife in the hope that it will increase their enjoyment of the marine and coastal environments they spend time in.
My favourite spot on the Berwickshire Coast has got to be a place called Petticowick. The views up the coast and inland to the Mire Loch are second to none. It’s a place where you can marvel at geology which covers unimaginable periods of time. You can listen to and watch thousands of seabirds that return to the cliffs to breed each spring. Or witness all the amazing activity of the breeding seal colony on the beach below during the early winter.

D. By organizing trips to the sea.
11. What can we learn from the text?

A Dutch city will become the first in the world to ban meat advertisements from public spaces in an effort to reduce consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.The ban also covers holiday flights, fossil fuels and cars that run on fossil fuels.The ban is delayed until 2024 due to existing contracts with companies that sell the products.
Haarlem, which lies to the west of Amsterdam and has a population of about 160,000,will bring the ban into effect from 2024 after meat was added to a list of products deemed to contribute to the climate crisis. Advertisements will not be allowed on Haarlem’s buses, shelters and screens in public spaces, prompting complaints from the meat sector that the government is “going too far in telling people what’s best for them”.
Recent studies suggest global food production is responsible for one-third of all planet-heating emissions,with the use of animals for meat accounting for twice the pollution of producing plant-based foods. Forests that absorb carbon dioxide are cut down for the food of animals while fertilisers used for growing their feed are rich in nitrogen(氮)，which can contribute to air pollution，water pollution and climate change. Livestock also produces large quantities of methane(甲烷)，a powerful greenhouse gas.
Zlggy Klazes,a councillor from the GroenLinks party, said she had not known the city would be the world’s first to enforce such a policy when she proposed it. She told the Haarlem105 radio channel:“We are not about what people are baking and roasting in their own kitchen;if people want to continue eating meat, it’s fine. We can’t tell people there’s a climate crisis and meanwhile,encourage them to buy products that are part of the cause. Of course, there are a lot of people who find the decision shocking and unreasonable,but there are also a lot of people who think it’s fine.”
12. What does the meat sector think of the ban?
A. Disapproving.
B. Neutral.
C. Indifferent.
D. Positive.
13. What do recent studies show?
A. Nitrogen is harmful to the environment.
B. Methane mainly comes from livestock.
C. Meat consumption causes more pollution.
D People cut down trees for human habitation.
14. What message do Ziggy Klazes’s words convey?
A. She is the first to ban meat advertisement.
B. She is in favor of banning meat advertising.
C. She emphasizes the advantage of eating meat.
D. She cares about what people cook in the kitchen
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Fossil fuels are banned in Dutch city.
B. Dutch city decreases meat production.
C. Dutch city bans meat advertisements in public.
D. Greenhouse gas emissions are limited in Dutch city.

A Dutch city will become the first in the world to ban meat advertisements from public spaces in an effort to reduce consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.The ban also covers holiday flights, fossil fuels and cars that run on fossil fuels.The ban is delayed until 2024 due to existing contracts with companies that sell the products.
Haarlem, which lies to the west of Amsterdam and has a population of about 160,000,will bring the ban into effect from 2024 after meat was added to a list of products deemed to contribute to the climate crisis. Advertisements will not be allowed on Haarlem’s buses, shelters and screens in public spaces, prompting complaints from the meat sector that the government is “going too far in telling people what’s best for them”.
Recent studies suggest global food production is responsible for one-third of all planet-heating emissions,with the use of animals for meat accounting for twice the pollution of producing plant-based foods. Forests that absorb carbon dioxide are cut down for the food of animals while fertilisers used for growing their feed are rich in nitrogen(氮)，which can contribute to air pollution，water pollution and climate change. Livestock also produces large quantities of methane(甲烷)，a powerful greenhouse gas.
Zlggy Klazes,a councillor from the GroenLinks party, said she had not known the city would be the world’s first to enforce such a policy when she proposed it. She told the Haarlem105 radio channel:“We are not about what people are baking and roasting in their own kitchen;if people want to continue eating meat, it’s fine. We can’t tell people there’s a climate crisis and meanwhile,encourage them to buy products that are part of the cause. Of course, there are a lot of people who find the decision shocking and unreasonable,but there are also a lot of people who think it’s fine.”
12. What does the meat sector think of the ban?
A. Disapproving.
B. Neutral.
C. Indifferent.
D. Positive.
13. What do recent studies show?
A. Nitrogen is harmful to the environment.
B. Methane mainly comes from livestock.
C. Meat consumption causes more pollution.
D. People cut down trees for human habitation.
14 What message do Ziggy Klazes’s words convey?
A. She is the first to ban meat advertisement.
B. She is in favor of banning meat advertising.
C. She emphasizes the advantage of eating meat.
D. She cares about what people cook in the kitchen
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Fossil fuels are banned in Dutch city.
B. Dutch city decreases meat production.
C. Dutch city bans meat advertisements in public.
D. Greenhouse gas emissions are limited in Dutch city.

Rescarchers in the US treated healthy mice with a form of gene therapy that refreshed older cells, making the animals more youthful according to biological markers that are used to measure the effects of ageing. Repeating the trick in humans is far from straightforward, but the findings will fuel interest in new therapiesthat aim to slow or reverse theageing process as a means of tackling age-related diseases such as cancers and Alzheimer’s.
The scientists drew on previous work by the Japanese Nobel winner Prof Shinya Yamanaka, who showed that a mixture of four molecules(原子)—known as Yamanaka factors—can turn adult cells into youthful stem cells that are capable of forming almost any tissue (组织) in the body.
Writing in the journal Nature Aging,the US team led by Jasper and Prof Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte at the Salk Institute in California and the San Diego Altos Institute, found that mice who received Yamanaka factors for several months were similar to younger animals in many ways, with their skin in particular showing signs of rejuvenation(恢复青春).
The experiments showed that rejuvenation was more effective when the therapy was given for a long time—7 to 10 months—starting when the animals were 12 to 15 months old, equal to age 35 to 50 in humans. Whén older animals, equal to 80 years old in human terms, were treated for one month, the scientists saw little impact.
Rather than using Yamanaka factors to rejuvenate aged humans, many scientists suspect that new drugs will be needed to partially reprogram cells safely and effectively. “In theory, biological age reversal or reduction could be possible. However, we are at very early stages where we need to understand the basic science behind it much better,” said Dr.Tamir Chandra, an expert in the biology of ageing at the University of Edinburgh.
4. Which of the following best describes the findings of the research?
A. Suspicious.
B. Tricky.
C. Amusing.
D. Inspiring.
5. What can we say about Yamanaka factors?
A. They are made up of three molecules.
B. They can probably rejuvenate mice’s skin.
C. They were first found by a Japanese scientist.
D. They can become a part of mice’s body tissue.
6. What can be inferred from the findings of the experiments?
A. The therapy given for a long time works better.
B. Humans may have better outcomes than animals.
C. The rejuvenation is more effective for people aged 12 to 15.
D. Older animals can live longer with the help of the treatment.
7. What do Dr.Tamir Chandra’s words mainly tell us?
A. The researches are far from complete.
B. The process of growing old cannot be stopped.
C. The basic rule behind rejuvenation is fully understood.
D. The new drug has been put into use safely and effectively.

I first came to Berwickshire for a job-to be the Ranger for the Berwickshire Marine Reserve.I was then Senior Ranger for St Abb’s Head National Nature Reserve and I set up my own business, In Our Nature, offering wildlife journeys,walks,talks and courses in 2020. There’s so much I love about Berwickshire.Its stunning scenery. Its variety of landscapes and habitats and range of amazing wildlife, both above and below the water. Its friendly people. In places you can feel like you are a million miles from anywhere, when in reality you’re just an hour’s drive from Edinburgh.
The thing that supports everything on the Berwickshire Coast is its varied and fascinating geology(地质).The jewel in the crown is Siccar Point. With its world-famous non-conformity(均变)，it’s considered the birthplace of modern geology. The geology not only shapes the landscape, but it also impacts on the wildlife, forming varied habitats from steep sheltered valleys and towering cliffs to sheltered sandy bays.
There’s nothing I like more than being out in nature and sharing my passion with others, so starting up In Our Nature was a no brainer. In the warmer months I offer tours on land and sea to help folk enjoy the amazing wildlife and scenery of the Berwickshire Coast. In the darker months my online courses help people learn about wildlife in the hope that it will increase their enjoyment of the marine and coastal environments they spend time in.
My favourite spot on the Berwickshire Coast has got to be a place called Petticowick. The views up the coast and inland to the Mire Loch are second to none. It’s a place where you can marvel at geology which covers unimaginable periods of time. You can listen to and watch thousands of seabirds that return to the cliffs to breed each spring.

Peking Opera: Sharing Chinese Culture with the World
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Last Saturday, I organized a display with the theme of “Chinese Peking Opera” at the school's International Culture and Arts Festival in the School Lecture Hall, which was well received by everyone.
At the beginning, we listened to a speech on the history of Beijing Opera delivered by a famous artist. After that, there was a live performance of Beijing Opera. The artists dressed in costumes performed various stories that happened in the history of China. Besides, methods of drawing facial makeup were taught on the spot on the stage to all the students taking part in it.
As an organizer, I am proud of the activity because it not only enriches the after-school life of the students but also draws more attention to Chinese cultures.
