Both of my parents worked full-time when I was a little girl, so my grandmother would
stay at our house during the day. We would watch game shows in the living room. Our
favorite was The Price is Right. We would call out our answers along with the contestants.
When I got older and started going to school, we couldn't watch our game shows
regularly. That was okay with me, though, because the one thing I liked better than
watching game shows with my grandmother was helping her bake(烘烤)cakes. Watching her
in the kitchen was amazing: she never seemed to need the recipes but everything she made
tasted delicious.
At first I would just sit in the kitchen and watch, even though I didn’t understand
what she was doing, As I got older, she let me help with the easy parts, such as measuring
the sugar. The day she let me separate the eggs, I felt like I had found complete pleasure.
At last, my parents decided that I could take care of myself, and my grandmother
stopped coming over every day. The love of baking, however, stayed with me. I started
baking by myself, and even if the cookies ended up burnt sometimes, more often they
turned out pretty well. I tried out new recipes, and whenever I got to a thorny part, I would
call my grandmother for advice. Sometimes I would call her just to talk, too. I felt like I
could talk to her about anything.
My grandmother passed away ten years ago, but I still think of her every day. Last
week, I found a recipe book she made for me. It included her recipes for brownies, cookies,
and my favorite, lemon pie. As I looked through the pages, I thought I could hear her voice.
She was the one who taught me not just about baking, but about life.

You could fill the sky with flying cars-or what Carl Dietrich calls“flying一driving
vehicles.”Carl Dietrich said, "Since the turn of the twentieth century, there have been
many hundreds of published concepts for flying-driving vehicles. And some of them have
actually been built and flown. But at this point the Transition is the closest to actually
getting to the marketplace."
Carl Dietrich heads a company in Massachusetts called Terrafugia. Terrafugia is
developing the Transition street-legal airplane, which many people have characterized as
the first practical flying car. And the Transition is designed to really be a general airplane,
like a Cessna or a Piper, a propeller-powered airplane that can fold up its wings, drive
down the road and park in a single-car garage.
Carl Dietrich says the Transition Roadable Aircraft easily changes to a car. It takes
about twenty seconds. It’s like putting the top down on a convertible, only instead of folding
up your roof, we’re folding up our wings and we’re transferring power from a propeller to
the wheels for driving on the ground.
Development began in 2006, and the first road and flight tests took place in 2009. The
company expects to complete the building process for its flying cars within the next few
months. Then it will begin an intensive year-long testing program. Terrafugia expects the
Transition to reach market by the end of twenty-twelve, at a price of around two hundred
fifty thousand dollars.
Carl Dietrich says nearly one hundred people have already signed up as buyers. He
hopes to sell as many as a thousand a year in the near future.
28. What can we learn about the flying-driving vehicles from Paragraph 1?
A. Carl Dietrich was the first to think of it.
B. No one has really built a real one so far.
C. Some of them have come into the market.
D. The concepts have appeared for a long time.
29. How can the flying-driving vehicles change to a car?
A. Drop down on the road and drive slowly.
B. Fold up wings and transfer power.
C. Fold up the roof of the vehicles.
D. Drive with the wheels.
30. We can infer from the passage that .
A. The test period took a long time
B. The price of the flying-car is very low
C. One thousand people have placed orders
D. It will reach market by the end of twenty-twelve
31. The passage may be taken from a
A. product brochure B. travel magazine
C. scientific report D. politics book
D
Scientists in Argentina have created the world’s first cow to own two human genes that
will enable it to produce human-like milk, which is matchless up to now. It is a breakthrough
in the area of clone.
Genetic engineering was used to introduce the "mothers’milk" genes into the animal
before birth, according to the National Institute of Agribusiness Technology in Buenos Aires.
As an adult the cloned cow "will produce milk that is similar to humans" in what will
prove "a development of great importance for the nutrition of infants", it said in a statement.
"The cloned cow, named Rosita ISA, is the first one born in the world that owns two
human genes that contain the proteins present in human milk," the statement said.
In April, scientists in China published details of research showing that they had
created GM Holstein dairy cows which produced milk containing proteins found in human
breast milk.
But the Argentine team says the Chinese only introduced one human gene, whereas
their research involved two genes meaning the milk will more closely resemble that of
humans.
Rosita ISA was born on April 6 and was delivered by Caesarean section because she
weighed around 100 pounds, roughly twice the normal weight of Jersey cows.
Adrian Mutto, from the National University of San Martin said "Our goal was to raise
the nutritional value of cows’milk by adding two human genes, the protein lactoferrin and
lysozyme, which can provide newly-born babies with anti-bacterial and anti-viral(抗病毒)
protection."
Cristina Kirchner, President of Argentina, said that the scientific institute "makes all
Argentines proud.”She also revealed that she had rejected the "honor" of having the cow
named after her. "They came to tell me that the name is Cristina, but what woman would
like to have a cow named after her? It appeared to me to be more appropriate to call it
Rosita.”
32. What can we know about Rosita ISA according to the passage?
A. Its milk has larger nutritional value than others’.
B. It is the first cow with a human gene.
C. It is as heavy as Jersey cows.
D. Its milk has the same proteins as human breast milk.
33. Lactoferrin and lysozyme in milk .
A. can offer more proteins in cow milk
B. help provide more milk from cow
C. can increase the production of milk
D. are good for babies’health
34. We can infer from the last paragraph that
A. it is hard to name the cow
B. the president wants the cow named after her
C. honorable as it is, no women like the cow named after them
D. Cristina Kirchner objects to creating the cloned cow
35. What would be the best title of the passage?
A. Scientists in Argentina could produce human milk
B. Scientists create cow that produces "human" milk
C. The cloned cow would bring about benefits
D. How was the cloned cow born?
