閱讀下列文字資料，按照要求匹配信息，并將答題卡上的相應(yīng)選項(xiàng)涂黑。
請(qǐng)閱讀下列科技新聞的信息：
A. One of the biggest science stories last year was the research on stem cells announced by South Korean scientist Hwang Woo-suk. But now it appears that the research was false. In June, Mr. Hwang reported that he and his team at Seoul National University had created eleven new stem cell lines.
B. Another major science story last year came from the United States. On December twentieth, a federal judge ruled that teaching “intelligent design” in public schools is a violation of the United States Constitution.
C. There was also news last year about the American space program. The American space shuttle（航天飛機(jī)） returned to the skies in July. Discovery and its seven-member crew made the first shuttle flight in two and one-half years. NASA had suspended shuttle flights following the deadly explosion of the shuttle Columbia in 2003.
D. Avian influenza（禽流感） was also a major science story last year. The H5N1 virus appeared in birds in Europe for the first time. Yet the only known human cases of the disease have been in East Asia. There have been about one hundred forty confirmed cases of bird flu since 2003. About half the people have died.
E. The World Health Organization advises patients to take a combination of four drugs to treat tuberculosis（肺結(jié)核）. These four antibiotics must be taken for about six months to cure the disease. Some people, however, take the drugs only until they feel better. Discontinuing treatment is a mistake.
F. The researchers began the study in January, 2002. They called it SMART---Strategies for Management of Anti-retroviral Therapy. The scientists reached more than ninety percent of the target before they halted（停止） new enrollments last month. The researchers tested all the people for the level of CD-four cells in their blood. The researchers divided the patients into two groups.
閱讀以下與科技有關(guān)的信息卡，然后匹配信息卡和與之相關(guān)的科技新聞：
【小題1】Card 1: One group stayed on continuous anti-retroviral therapy. They took their medicines every day. The other took them periodically. They took the drugs only when their CD-four count fell below two hundred fifty cells per cubic millimeter of blood.
【小題2】Card 2 : Judge John Jones said that intelligent design is not science. He said it is a version of Christianity. So to teach it in public schools violates the law that requires the separation of church and state. Supporters of intelligent design criticize the science of evolution.
【小題3】Card 3: Stem cells have the ability to grow into other cells. Science magazine published the report. The new lines were made from the eggs of eighteen women and skin cells from eleven other people.
【小題4】Card 4: Many of the victims had touched or been around infected farm birds. But health experts around the world began warning that the bird flu virus could change into a form that is passed from person to person.
【小題5】Card 5 : That explosion was the result of damage done to Columbia during its launch. A piece of lightweight protective material fell off the shuttle’s external fuel container. The object hit the shuttle at a high rate of speed and made a hole in one of the wings. This permitted extremely hot gases to enter the shuttle and destroy the spacecraft as it returned to the earth.

科目：高中英語 來源：2015屆浙江省高二上學(xué)期期中考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, “But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead.”

    Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt—a mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why.

    There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.

    Myth Number One: It’s best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident.

    Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are that you’ll have traveled through a wind shield(擋風(fēng)玻璃) or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are “thrown clear".

    Myth Number Two: Safety belts “trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.

    Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious(昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.

    Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren’t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour.

    Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.

1. Why did Elizabeth say to her father, “But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead”?

A. He was driving at great speed.

B. He was running across the street.

C. He didn’t have his safety belt on.

D. He didn’t take his medicine on time.

2. According to the text, the “thrown clear” of a serious accident is very dangerous because you _____.

A. may be knocked down by other cars

B. may get seriously hurt being thrown out of the car

C. may find it impossible to get away from the seat

D. may get caught in the car door

3.One of the reasons that some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt is that____.

A. the belt prevents them from escaping in an accident

B. they will be unable to think clearly in an accident

C. they will be caught when help comes

D. cars catch fire easily

科目：高中英語 來源：2014屆江西紅色六校高三上期第一次聯(lián)考英語卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Sub-Saharan Africa has the world’s highest hunger rate. But according to a new report, African farmers also have ideas that could help the world fight hunger and poverty. Danielle Nierenberg from the Worldwatch Institute in Washington spent a year visiting twenty-five countries south of the Sahara. In Nairobi, Kenya, for example, Ms Nierenberg found women farmers growing vegetables just outside their doorsteps in the Kibera settlement. She says they are finding ways to make their lives better. The women feed their families and sell their surplus. They use the money to send their children to school.

Last year, about 925,000,000 people worldwide did not get enough to eat. Half of all people in the world now live in and around cities. Researchers like Ms Nierenberg are looking increasingly at creative ideas to feed those who don’t have enough good food to eat. She says there are a lot of lessons that people in the Western world can learn from Africa. And what they are doing can certainly be done in other developing countries.

Farmers in the developing world lose between twenty and forty percent of their harvest before it ever reaches market. There are many reasons why food gets wasted. Farmers are without electricity and cold storage. They lack good seeds and fertilizer. They lack good roads. Conditions like these keep small farmers in poverty. Ms Nierenberg says more attention needs to be paid to protecting harvests. She says, “Given all that we invest in producing food in the first place, we need to devote the same amount of attention to making sure that it is not wasted.”

In Nigeria, village processing centers are helping farmers reduce their losses and earn more money. They centers process cassava, a root vegetable, into basic food products. In Uganda, the Worldwatch report says some schools are teaching children how to grow local kinds of crops. And in South Africa and Kenya the report praises the breeding(培育) of local kinds of livestock. These animals may produce less milk or meat than other breeds, but they can survive heat and drought conditions.

1.We could learn from the new report in Para.1 that         .

A.sub-Saharan Africa has the world’s highest hunger rate

B.African farmers have ideas to help fighting hunger and poverty

C.women farmers grow vegetables in the Kibera settlement

D.women farmers grow vegetables to send their children to school.

2.The underlined word “surplus” in Para.1 is closest in meaning to         .

A. private vegetables                        B. side products

C. leftover vegetables                      D. home-made products

3.Ms Nierenberg suggests that         .

A.the women spend more money on education instead of farming

B.more and more African people should live in and around cities

C.researchers find creative ideas to feed the people suffering hunger

D.people in the Western world do the same as the Africans have done

4.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A.Farmers in developing world often lose some of their harvest

B.Small farmers in developing countries often suffer poverty.

C.Farmers should pay more attention to protecting their harvest

D.Attention should be paid to saving food instead of producing food

5.The best title of this passage should be         .

A.A New Report About African Farmers Fighting Hunger

B.Creative Ideas to Feed Those Who Have No Enough Food

C.Looking to Africa for Ideas About How to Fight Hunger

D.Animals That Can Survive Heat and Drought Conditions
