Fr centuries,explrers have searched fr the funtain f yuth.Surprisingly,the secret t stayingyung might have been withinus all alng.Amr,a scientist,and clleagues havediscvered that T cells can be
reprgrammedtfight aging,s t speak
Given the rightgenetic changes,these white bld cells can attack anther grup f cells knwn as senescent (衰老的)cells,which are thught t be respnsible fr many f the diseases we fight with later in life.Senescent cells are thse thatstp replicating(再生).As we age,they build up in ur bdies,resulting in sme diseases

They discvered CART cells culd beusedt rid f senescent cells inmice.As aresult,the mice ended up living healthier lives.They had lwer bdyweight,imprvedmetablism(新陈代谢),and increased physical activity.All these came withut any tissue damage r side effects.
Perhaps the greatest pwer f CART cells is their lng-lasting effects.The team fund that just ne dse(一剂) at a yung age can have lifelng effects.That single treatmentcan prtect against cnditins that cmmnly ccur
later in life.
“T cells have the ability t develp memry and exist in yur bdy fr really lngperids.which is very different frm a chemical drug,”Amr explained.
Amr's lab is nw investigating whether CART cells let mice live nt nlyhealthier but als lnger.If s, sciety will be ne step clser t the funtain f yuth.

C.Senescent cells are Tcells. D.Tcells can fight aging. 13.What des the underlined wrd "eliminate"in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Sustain. B.Remve. C.Cue. D.Plish.
14.Which effect f CART cells n yung micedes the text emphasize?
A.Shrt-term activity increase. B.Immediate weight reductin
C.Lifelng health enhancement. D.Temprary metablic imprvement.
15.What is Amr's attitude t the future f emplying CAR T cells?
A.Optimistic. B.Dubtful. C.Critical. D.Unclear.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文通过叙述Juleus Ghunta的成长经历，特别是他从几乎无法阅读到成为儿 童书籍作者和获奖诗人的转变过程，展现了个人奋斗和他人帮助对他人生路径的深刻影响。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Ghunta's family lived in a rural part f Western Jamaica.His mther ften had t make tugh chices abut hw t use their limited resurces,including a decisint send his ldest sister t schl, and t keep Ghunta at hme.(Ghunta的家人住在牙买加西部的农村地区。他的母亲经常不得不在如何使用有 限的资源方面做出艰难的选择，包括决定送他的大姐去上学，以及让Ghunta 留在家里。)”可知，Ghunta
的母亲经常不得不就如何利用有限的资源做出艰难的选择。因此，Ghunta 的家庭生活贫困。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第二段“When Ghunta finally went t schl,he culdn't catchup n his reading skills.Nt nly had he been kept hme frm schl as achild,but he had nt been expsed t bks.By the time he entered
the sixth grade,he culd spell his name,buthe still culdn't make ut wrds.spell,r read with understanding.当 Ghunta终于去上学时，他的阅读技能却跟不上了。他不仅小时候被关在家里不去上学，而且也没有接触过 书本。当他上六年级的时候，他已经能拼出自己的名字了，但他还是不会发音。用理解拼写或阅读。)”和 第四段中的“Under her guidance,Ghunta'sreading skil finally started t imprve.He started t feel mre
cnfident.(在她的指导下，Ghunta 的阅读能力终于开始提高。他开始觉得更自信了。)”可知，在遇到那位 年轻教师之前，古特的阅读能力很差，到六年级时仍不能读懂单词，这使他在学习上落后，可以推断他的 自信心是不足的。因此，最能描述他的词是 Uncnfident“不自信的”。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段中的 “She had left me with thegift f literacy,”hesaid,“andwith the value as a
human being.”His life tka newdirectin.(“她给我留下了识字的礼物，”他说，“以及作为人的价值。” 他的生活有了新的方向。)”及最后一段““I wuld lve her t see the significant impact that she has made n
my life,and the ways in which I have carried this memry f her—the hpeand the light—with me and hw it
cntinues t be a surce fjy.”(“我想让她看到她对我的生活产生的重大影响，以及我对她的记忆一一希望 和光明—一的方式，以及它如何继续成为快乐的源泉。”)”可知，这位老师对古特的影响超出了识字本身， 她帮助他获得了自我价值感和希望。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第四段中的“Underher guidance,Ghunta's reading skills finally started t imprve.He started t feel mrecnfident.“Shehad left me with the gift f literacy,"he said,“and with the
value as ahuman being.”His life tk a new directin.He graduated frm elementary schl with a number f

【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“The cmpany has put itstechnlgyt use in differentregins.It has perated in bth
fresh and saltwater,near dams,and inharbrs and fish farms,checking things like waterquality and fish health and

【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：此次展览共有23个钟表，主要由三位清朝皇帝收藏。本句已经有谓语动词features, 设空处作后置定语，被修饰词23 clcks与动词cllect之间是逻辑上的被动关系，填过去分词表被动。故填 cllected。
【37题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：这些时钟旨在讲述一些关于技术和技能的意义的故事，以及在这个英中贸易的小窗 口期间出现的人和文化。设空处使用名词作宾语，stry意为“故事”为可数名词，空前的sme 表明设空处 应该使用名词复数。故填stries。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：同上。设空处引导限制性定语从句，先行词是 peple and cultures,既有人又有物， 故用关系代词that引导该定语从句，that在从句中作主语。故填that。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意：展览的“皇帝与自鸣钟”部分揭示了自鸣钟在早期文化交流中所起的重要作用。此处表
示“自鸣钟所发挥的作用”,故使用介词by 与zimingzhng 构成介词短语。故填by。 【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：17世纪初，传教士们为了讨好取悦清朝皇帝，送去了制作精美的自动装置。此处 动词跟在介词by 之后，故用动名词。故填sending。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在展览的中间部分，一个中国水力驱动的“摘纵”的比例模型显示，在1088年，宋朝， 苏颂创造了世界上第一座水力天文钟塔。此处是表示年份的固定用法即in the year+年份，故填the。
【42题详解】
考查名词所有格。句意：同上。此处表示“世界上的”用名词所有格作定语修饰宾语。故填 wrld's。 【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：这一发现挑战了长期以来认为机械钟完全起源于欧洲的观点。设空处作主语，表示“发 现用名词discvery, 由 “This” 以及谓语动词“challenges” 可知名词用单数形式。故填discvery。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：同上。设空处使用entire的副词entirely作状语，修饰动词。故填entirely。 【45题详解】
