It was a normal Saturday morning, and everyone was in a good mood. The year was 2000 and I was then only 6 years old. I remember it like it was yesterday though. We were just eating breakfast when we received a phone call. We received phone calls all the time, so it was nothing new to me. However, this phone call was an important one. I soon heard and saw my mother crying on the couch(沙发)with my father comforting her. My brother, sister, and I didn’t know what had happened, as they had not told us yet. Later, I was told that my grandfather was in the hospital because he had a heart attack. I did not know what to think. I had never heard of a heart attack, but I figured (认为) that it must be serious if he was in the hospital.
My grandfather and grandmother lived far away from us and we did not get to see them often. It was a long trip. My mother rushed to the hospital while my father stayed at home with my brother, sister and me.

Li Denghai, with his muddy boots and tanned(晒黑的) face, may not look like he is one of China’s famous agricultural pioneers. But the 61-year-old man from Shandong Province has made scientific breakthroughs(突破), which made great contributions to China’s food security(安全). His main work has been in achieving the higher output of corn production.
Li, who holds the world record for the highest output of summer corn, once says, “Corn has a life; it sings and dances. If you listen clearly, it can speak to you.” He started his research in 1969 when he was 20 and just dropped out of a high school. He then read an article which pointed that corn output per mu in the USA was six times higher than that in China. He was shocked and set out to work on just a small piece of land round the clock to see if he could increase the output. He often went to the field with a flashlight late at night, if he had been away during the day. By careful nurturing (照料) he managed to double the output.
Li Denghai was awarded the “China Award for Significant Contribution to the Maize (玉米) Industry” in 2005, and the same year the company named after his own name came into the market on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Li, however, is never happier than when he is in the middle of his cornfields. “I can forget my tiredness when talk to my corns,” he says.

Cleaning became an obsession (使人痴迷的事) with Will Palmer after he had a operation of a cornea (角膜) transplant. Before the operation, Mr. Palmer was happy to leave the housework to his wife. However, since he had a cornea transplant, he has become liking to do the dusting and washing up, and developed the good habit he didn’t have before.
Mr. Palmer said, “Since having the transplant operation, my vision is almost 20/20. I can now notice every spot of dust and dirt, and can’t help but have a go at cleaning it up. For some reason seeing the grime(尘垢) gets on my nerves and I have to do something about it. It started as a joke that I must have been given the cornea of a woman. There’s a reason why men don’t clean like this and I think it’s because we just don’t see the dirt, but I see it everywhere I go.”
Mr. Palmer developed corneal disease Fuchs Dystrophy six years ago. The condition caused the inner surface of the cornea — the thin layer that covers and protects the iris (虹膜) and pupil (瞳孔) that is responsible for two thirds of the eye’s vision — to slowly die. This meant that over time, the sight of Will’s right eye had dropped so much that everything appeared unclear. It was also sensitive to light. Later, Mr. Palmer got the cornea transplant.
Scientific studies have suggested that up to a third of organ transplant patients have inherited changes in their personalities, preferences and skills from their donors. Researchers have proposed various theories, including the idea that memories are stored in organ tissue as well as the brain and can therefore be passed on to transplant patients.
46. Will Palmer almost lost his vision as a result of .
A. an incident B. a kind of cancer
C. an eye disease D. the short-sight
47. Why did Will Palmer think his cornea was from a woman?
A. Because he was more anxious than before
B. Because he became obsessed with cleaning
C. Because he developed a habit of fast reading
D. Because he could see things more clearly
48. Some memories can be passed on to transplant patients from the donors for .
A. they are sensitive to choose the body
B. they are likely to live in the donors for ever
C. they are unchangeable once they came into being
D. they are stored well in organ tissue
49. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Will Palmer’s vision recovered well after the operation.
B. Will Palmer can see nothing except the dirt around him.
C. Will Palmer develops all the same preferences as the donor.
D. Will Palmer used to do housework together with his wife.
50. The passage intends to .
A. warn us to protect our sight B. give an example of transplant
C. introduce a new cure for eye disease D. offer us some news on medicine
D
Dolphins are the second brightest creatures after humans in the world — even more clever than chimpanzees(黑猩猩). Experts say it is now time for dolphins to be treated as “non-human persons” after research showed their brains have many features connected with high intelligence. Just like us: A bottlenose dolphin shakes hands. They believe it is cruel to keep such intelligent animals in amusement parks, or to kill them for food or by accident when fishing. Some 300,000 whales and dolphins die in this way every year.
A study carried out by Lori Marino, a zoologist at Emory University in Atlanta, scanned (扫描) the brains of dolphin species and compared them to the brains of humans, monkeys and chimpanzees. She said, “Many dolphin brains are larger than our own and second in whole only to the human brain when corrected for body size.”
Dolphins have long been known for their intelligence. However it had been believed that chimpanzees — who can achieve the intelligence levels of three-year-old children — were the brighter of the two.
New studies suggest that in fact dolphins — especially species such as the bottlenose — are more intelligent. They have particular personalities, a strong sense of the self and can think about the future. They are also “cultural” animals, with new types of behavior being picked up by one dolphin from another. In one piece of research, bottlenose dolphins were shown to be able to recognize themselves in a mirror and use it to observe various parts of their bodies.
Dolphins’ famous intelligence has also made its way into fiction. In Douglas Adams’s story, the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, dolphins escape from Earth after humans fail to understand their warnings that the planet is about to be destroyed.
51. Why are dolphins considered as “non-human persons”?
A. Because they are highly intelligent creatures.
B. Because they can shake hands like humans.
C. Because they can amuse humans in parks.
D. Because they are more lovely than chimpanzees.
52. The brains of dolphins are smaller than those of .
A. whales B. monkeys C. chimpanzees D. humans
53. According to the research, bottlenose dolphins can .
a. think about the future b. learn from each other
c. recognize themselves in mirrors d. help humans protect the earth better
A. a, b, d B. a, c, d C. a, b, c D. b, c, d
54. What can we infer from the passage?
A. People haven’t treated dolphins well enough.
B. Whales are just as intelligent as dolphins.
C. Monkeys have larger brains than chimpanzees.
D. Dolphins will develop more human behaviors.
55. Douglas Adams let dolphins appear in the story to .
A. draw people’s attention B. show their intelligence
C. prove humans’ intelligence D. express their warnings
