She will give most of them to public museums, so that the next generation and the one after can see them. Chinese people began making tiger-head shoes in ancient times.

BBThere was once a very wise man who lived in ancient times. He was elderly and educated.One day while on a walk, he realized that his shoes were starting to wear out. He knew he had to buy a new pair. But he didnt want to buy the wrong shoes. He collected some books and spent a lot of time reading about how to know if a pair of shoes fit properly.Following the books instructions, the man took a stick and measured his feet with it. He then went to the market. However, he left the stick at home, which was far away from the shop.By the time the man returned to the market, the shop was closed. And by that point, his shoes were completely worn out, so he had to return home barefoot.The next morning, he walked back to the market with bare feet, but the shoes that he had chosen the day before had been sold. The wise man explained what had happened to the shopkeeper, who asked, “Why didnt you buy the shoes yesterday?”The wise man replied, “Because I left the stick that I had used to measure my feet at home. And you have to have the correct measurements of your feet before you can buy shoes. I didnt want to buy the wrong size.”Even more surprised, the shopkeeper asked, “But your feet are always with you. Why didnt you just try the shoes on?”The wise man said, “All the books say shoes must be bought with the exact measurements of the shoes you already own.”Laughing, the shop owner replied, “You dont need advice from books to buy shoes. You just need to have your feet, some money, and some common sense not to make things more difficult.”41. How did the man prepare to buy shoes?A. He read lots of books about making shoes.B.

CCIts long been a scientific dream: to give people a special vaccine before birth to prevent them from getting terrible illnesses. Gene editing (基因编辑) is one way in which we could do this. But this method has also created some discussion.In an online video posted on Nov. 26, 2018, He Jiankui, a researcher at the Southern University of Science and Technology, said that he had helped to make the worlds first genetically edited babies.The babies are twin girls who were born in November. Their father had HIV. The twins genes were edited in order to prevent them from suffering from the HIV virus.He said he chose to do this because HIV is widespread in China. “I feel such a strong duty not only to be the first to do this, but also to set an example,” he told AP.But his actions caused many questions. Although gene editing may help to prevent disease, many people are wondering if it is safe and ethical to use it on humans.Some believe that gene editing could be useful to HIV patients. HIV is “a large and growing public health problem”, according to Harvard Medical School genetic professor George Church. Using gene editing for HIV is “a good idea”, Church told AP.However, others think that gene editing is still in its experimental periods and could result in terrible changes. “It could cause genetic problems later in life, including the development of cancer,” Julian Savulescu from the University of Oxford told BBC News.Others fear that people might use gene editing technology to make “designer (设计的) babies”. It would give parents the ability to choose everything from their babys eye colour to their IQ.“You could find wealthy parents buying the latest upgrades for their children, leading to even greater unfairness than we already live with,” Marcy Darnovsky, director of the San Francisco Center for Genetics told BBC News.46. What do we know about He Jiankui?A. He was the first person to edit genes.B. He made the twins suffer from HIV when he edited their genes.C. He made the worlds first genetically edited babies.D. He was the first person whose genes were edited.47. Who agreed that gene editing could be helpful to HIV patients?A. George Church.B. Julian Savulescu.C. Marcy Darnovsky.D. Chinese researchers.48. The underlined word “ethical” in the passage probably means “_”.A. 合乎常情B. 道德的C. 有价值的D. 有效的49. According to the story, we know that gene editing _.A. is supported by the writerB. is good for wealthy peopleC. causes some heated argumentD. has been used widely in the UK50. What does “designer babies” mean in the passage?A. Parents can change their babys eye colour.B. Parents are able to choose their babys height.C. Parents can give their baby everything that he or she likes.D. Parents have a chance to prevent their baby from suffering from the virus.【答案】46. C 47. A 48. B 49. C 50. BDI LOVE FOOTBALL.
