He Zhenliang, played a very important role in helping Beijing win the bid (投标) for the 2008 Summer Olympics in 2001 after the Chinese capital failed in its first attempt.

We think of history as a time line-a series of events stretching thousands of years
into the past. It's time to think bigger. Instead of a line, imagine a web of endless connections interacting over billions of years, linked together to create everything we've ever known. From the clothes we wear to the rise and fall of empires(帝国) to the revolution of language, it's the horse that links them all.
6000 years ago, the early people in central Asia spoke an ancient language known as “Proto-Indo-European.” Their words would eventually spread, change and develop, branching into French, Italian, Spanish, Greek Russian, Hindi, German, and English, giving us the
languages spoken by nearly half the world. The reason is that these are the first people on earth to ride horses, which creates highway for their words.
2,000 years ago, Romans traditionally wore tunics, but it's hard to ride a horse in clothes like this. As Romans moved north to conquer the barbarians (野蛮人), they noticed their enemies wore something different into battle: pants. Pants are warmer and a lot more
comfortable to wear on horsebacks The Roman army made the switch and soon so did men everywhere. Horses are a key reason why millions of people around the world wear pants.
For 6, 000 years, horses have been the primary way of conquering, making large empires possible. Horses helped Rome expand from Britain to North Africa. But why didn't these enormous ancient empires grow even bigger? The evidence suggests a surprising theory that ancient empires have a size limit determined by the horse. If the borders of an empire are more than 14 days' ride from the capital, it becomes a struggle to continue control. Speed of
communications is essential for an empire You must be able to get messages to and from the border within a reasonable time. If you can't do that, you can't respond to attacks.
On the scale of big history, it's hard to think of any other mammal that's had such an influence on human history as the horse.
24. What do we know about “Proto-Indo-European”? A. It was the first language in the world. B. It was spoken only by the horse riders.
C. It constructed a highway between France and Germany. D. It developed into languages used by about half the world 25. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Ancient empires could grow as big as they wished B. Horses determined the location of empires' capitals
C. Horses had little impact on the expansion of ancient empires. D. Timely messages are vital for ancient empires to keep control. 26. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A. To express the author's love for horses. B. To introduce the development of clothes. C. To provide a new way of looking at history. D. To encourage the interaction between animals.

C
Doctors have been treating the symptoms of most diseases, and not the source, for centuries. They have cut out tumors (肿瘤) and failed to touch the biological code within cells that tells them to grow malignant(恶性, pass along abnormal nerve signals, take in too much or too little energy, and suffer from diseases. The code is the DNA molecule in each cell that tells it what to do and when, and it sets off dreaded diseases when it goes wrong. The molecule, and its
messengers, had remained hidden away, beyond the reach of almost all drugs, unfixable when broken.
Things began to change after the DNA sequence (序列) for the entire human genome was laid out early in this century. Within the past several years, the ability to combine and specially design shorter sequences has shown scientists that the best material for reaching DNA is, well, DNA. Making up new genes to replace badly working ones, or to “silence” them, has produced 14 approved DNA-related drugs. DNA analysis has found out new aims, showing that although newborn babies in the U.S. are typically examined for between 30 and 60 genetic conditions right now, it is possible to examine nearly 1,000 genes linked to childhood diseases that could be new treatment points.
But that same science has also created troubling problems: some of the gene tests for babies can raise false warnings, for example, and not every child with a disease-linked gene ends up getting that disease. DNA in medicine has great power, but there is still a long way to go 27. What does the underlined “it” refer to Paragraph 1？ A. The code. B. The nerve C. The cell. D. The disease.
28. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2? A. New genes cannot replace the old ones. B. 14 new DNA-related drugs are under test.
C. The layout of DNA sequence makes a big difference in treatment. D. New treatment points have been found for babies with diseases. 29. What is the tone of the text? A. Humorous. B. Objective. C. Casual D. Negative. 30. What can be the best title for the text? A. The DNA Drug Revolution. B. The Creation of New Genes. C. The Gene Tests for Babies D. The Symptoms of Diseases,
