第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分）Just a few years out of law school, I decided that I wanted to write fictions. The only thing I had ever published before was a law-review article. I had made great efforts to write when I came home at night after work, but I was too tired. I decided to quit my job.
I began my new life on a February morning. I sat down at my kitchen table at 7:30 am and made a resolution. Every day I would write until lunchtime. Then I would lie down on the floor for 20 minutes to
B．need
rest my mind. After that, I would return to work for a few more hours.
In my first year, I sold two stories. Then I wrote a novel, but I thought it wasn’t good enough, so I ended up putting it in a drawer. My second novel, Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, was published to glowing reviews and received the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction.
My success sounds like a familiar story, but actually it was far from sudden. I quit my job, and for every story I published in those years, I had at least 30 rejections. The novel that I put away in the drawer took my four years. My breakthrough came in 2006, 18 years after I first sat down to write at my kitchen table.
Sometimes genius (天才) is just the thing that comes out after 20 years of working at your kitchen. Also, doing something truly creative requires the energy of youth. Orson Welles made his masterpiece, Citizen Kan, at 25. T. S. Eliot wrote The Love Song of J. Afred Prufrock at 23. 1、When did the author decide to devote himself to writing fictions? A．When he was tired from his work. B．Straight after graduation from law school. C．On being informed his law-review article came out. D．When his hobby was disturbed by his work.
2、We can infer from the second paragraph that the author . A．led a wealthy life
B．arranged his life reasonably C．was too diligent to relax himself D．remained single
3、What does the author mainly intend to tell us in this passage? A．Failure is the mother of success.
B．A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. C．It is never too old to learn.
D．It is the first step that costs troublesome.
4、Why did the author give the example of Orson Welles and T. S. Eliot? A．To make a comparison between them and himself. B．To show creativity needs energy and efforts. C．To persuade the readers of their great talents. D．To recommend their two masterpieces.
22．（8分）When somebody gets sick or is hurt in an accident, there are several different ways that doctors can try to help them. One of these is to give medicine that fights the sickness or helps the sick
person’s body to fight it. However, if some parts of a body are very sick or damaged, then doctors might need to remove them. Another way doctors can help is to grow new tissue to replace what is sick or damaged. This is called regenerative medicine (再生医学). Regenerative medicine sounds like something from a science fiction movie but it is not a new idea. Inside our bones, we have something called ‘marrow’, which makes our blood and keeps us healthy. Doctors have been giving sick people the ‘bone marrow’ from other healthy people for the last 30 or 40 years, and this is a kind of regenerative medicine.
Newer developments in regenerative medicine include growing new skin in a laboratory and using it to help people who have been hurt in fires or accidents. Another example of regenerative medicine is a technique developed from studying frogs and mice. When cells are old, like in adults, they can’t change what they do in our bodies. For example, a skin cell can’t change into an eye cell. But when cells are very young, they can become any cell type. These young cells are called stem cells, and doctors can use them to grow any type of tissue, such as skin, heart or eye. John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka won the 2012 Nobel Prize for their studies in this area.
Professor Fiona Watt, from the Centre for Regenerative Medicine at King’s College London, believes that regenerative medicine is so exciting because many different kinds of experts need to work together. New bones may be printed by expert 3D printers, who need to work closely with university scientists and the surgeons who do the operations in hospitals.
We cannot yet grow new arms or legs for people, but the science fiction dream of regenerative medicine may be closer than we think. Perhaps in the future, doctors will be able to grow whole new bodies for us.
1、Why is ‘marrow’ in bones very important in regenerative medicine? A．It can grow into new skin for those who have been hurt in fires. B．It can be used to grow new tissue. C．It makes blood for our body. D．It has been used for 40 years.
2、Which of the following is right according to this passage? A．Regenerative medicine is a new science in medicine.
B．Fiona Watt and Shinya Yamanaka won the 2012 Nobel Prize for medicine. C．Stem cells, very young cells, can be used to grow any type of tissue. D．Doctors and scientists now cooperate to grow new skin for frogs and mice. 3、What’s the writer’s attitude to the development in regenerative medicine? A．Pessimistic. B．Optimistic. C．Doubtful. D．Subjective.
