• 2．Kidney（腎） transplants are a life-saving solution for many sick people around the world.However，they may have to wait five or ten years for a donated organ（器官）.Many of them die when waiting for one.A new kind of operation may solve this problem.
      For the first time，a pig kidney has been transplanted into a human.Reporting the story，CNN called this "a major advance".
      The operation was done at New York University （NYU） Langone Health in the US.The transplant was to test whether the body would reject（排斥） the organ.So，a brain-dead patient was chosen to receive the operation，after her family agreed.
      The kidney came from a pig with modified genes（改造后的基因）.Because of the modification，the human's body did not reject the kidney.
      For three days，the new kidney was connected to the patient's blood vessels（血管）.However，it was kept outside of her body.This way the doctors could see and quickly deal with any problems.
      The transplanted kidney "looked pretty normal，" said Dr Robert Montgomery，who led the study.The kidney made the same amount of urine（尿液） that we would expect as a transplanted human kidney，he said.
      Most importantly，there was no sign of "early rejection" that usually happens when pig kidneys are transplanted into humans.
      Researchers have been working for ten years to use animal organs for transplants，reported Reuters.Rejection has so far been a common problem，but the genetically modified pig seems to be a game changer.
      Although the patient died three days later because of other causes，the experiment was still seen as a great success.At least for now，it could be a short-term solution to keep people alive until they can receive a human kidney.
  （1）Compared to donated human organs，animal organs

  .
  A．have better-modified genes
  B．a(chǎn)re easier to get
  C．a(chǎn)re longer-lasting
  D．a(chǎn)re usually not rejected
  （2）What do we know about the pig kidney transplant？

  
  A．The pig kidney's shape was modified.
  B．The pig kidney transplant was unsuccessful.
  C．The pig kidney was not placed inside the patient's body.
  D．The pig kidney transplant operation was more difficult than others.
  （3）Early rejection didn't happen in the operation because

  .
  A．the doctors watched it carefully
  B．the kidney had been genetically modified
  C．the patient's body had been genetically modified
  D．the pig kidney fit properly inside the patient's body
  （4）What can we infer（推斷） from the last paragraph？

  
  A．The pig kidney can work for a long time.
  B．Putting a pig kidney into a human body is not a good idea.
  C．Human kidneys are still the best for performing transplants.
  D．The technique（技術(shù)） of transplanting parts from pigs to humans is not reliable（可靠的）.

• 3．Vicuna，a small town in the north of Chile，is a great place for watching stars all year round.Although it is near the sea，the cold，wet air from the coast does not bring clouds.Instead，dry winds from the desert keep the clouds away at night.In fact，the sky is so clear in Vicuna that it is possible to see many stars that can be seen only with advanced（先進(jìn)的） instruments in other parts of the world.
     In Vicuna，distant（遙遠(yuǎn)的） star systems such as Magellanic Clouds can be seen without the help of an instrument.That is why the town was chosen as the home of a number of sky observatories（天文臺）.One of them，the Mamalluca，is quite different from the typical observatories used by scientists.This observatory was built for tourists who like to look at the stars.During the year，Vicunas hotels accommodate thousands of tourists who come from all over the world to see the night sky as they have only seen it in books.The cloudless sky is clearly a moneymaker for the town，which plans to set up even more observatories.It was recently decided that building observatories would go on for another few years.
     At one point，however，the town faced a serious problem.As the town grew，more streetlights were added，making it more and more difficult to see the stars at night.The town saved the night sky by building a new system of lights that lit up the streets without influencing the view of the sky.
  （1）What can we know from Paragraph One？

  
  A．The sky in Vicuna is clear all year round.
  B．Vicuna is a small town far from the ocean.
  C．The wet air from the coast keep the clouds away.
  D．We can see wonderful clouds in the sky over Vicuna.
  （2）What does the underlined word "accommodate" most probably mean in Chinese？

  
  A．建議
  B．控制
  C．容納

  （3）Why did Vicuna spend money on a new streetlight system？

  
  A．The old streetlights used lots of electricity.
  B．The old streetlights made it hard to see the stars at night.
  C．The new streetlights would make streets more beautiful.
  D．The new streetlights would make the sky more beautiful.

• 10．When you and your family go out for dinner，do you notice how many dishes you usually order？
     It's OK if you finish all of them.But if you waste too much food，you need to pay for it.
      Last year，China's top legislature（立法機(jī)關(guān)） reviewed（審議） a draft law（法律草案） for stopping food waste for the first time.In general，a draft will become law __________ the top legislature reviews it three times.
      According to the draft law，restaurants should tell customers not to order too much.If customers leave too much food uneaten，restaurants can charge（收費(fèi)） them for food waste. The law also bans（禁止） waiters from encouraging people to order too much food. Some restaurants may use the "N-1" mode for people to order dishes. "N" stands for the number of persons at a table.So if there are six people at your table，you should order just five dishes，which can help people control the amount of dishes in a proper way.
      The draft law also asks schools to teach their students to avoid food waste.It also bans TV programs about overeating and over drinking.Producers of such programs will face a fine（罰單） of up to 100，000 yuan.
      Food waste happens in many places and has long been a big problem around the world.We need to obey the law and refuse to waste food.
  
  （1）What should the customers do if they waste too much food？
  

  
  （2）Fill in the blank with a proper word in para.3.
  

  
  （3）Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.
