AMichelle was a student at University of California, Los Angeles. She is here to tell us how she feels about the city.What were the best things about Los Angeles?One of my favorite things about Los Angeles is the weather. I hate the cold and it never really gets that cold there. Plus, most of the time it’s usually sunny, which is good because I love going to the beach during the summer. There’s so much to do at the beach, but my favorite thing in L.A. was having a picnic on the sand with my friends.What were the worst things about being there?I disliked having to drive everywhere to get around because the city is so spread out. Los Angeles has a lot of traffic and sometimes it takes a long time to get somewhere close by just because the streets are so crowded. Also, a lot of people complain about the pollution.Did you have any problems there?Just the normal problems of living in any city, like watching out for pickpockets (扒手). Some people think Los Angeles has a lot of crime, but I think it’s as safe as any other city. Also, many people think driving is difficult because there is a lot of traffic and road rage (路怒症), but it just takes a little practice and a lot of patience. What are the people like in Los Angeles?There are all types of people in Los Angeles since the city is pretty diverse. For the most part, though, most of the people are friendly, calm and relaxed. Some people say that everyone in Los Angeles is beautiful, but I think that’s just a stereotype (模式化的印象).Would you go back to Los Angeles?Certainly. Los Angeles is one of my favorite cities in the world. I love the fact that it has all the nightlife and shopping of a big city, but also has access to beaches, parks, mountains and other places you can’t usually find in large cities. Between the weather and the beaches and all the fun things to do, it’s a great place to be.21.

Scientists from Britain and Poland took cells from his nose, transplanted (移植) them into his back and re-grew his spinal cord (脊髓). Now he can walk and even drive a car. The doctors were delighted but said it was the first step in a long journey.The breakthrough came after 40 years of research by Professor Geoff Raisman, who found that cells had the possibility to repair damage to nasal (鼻腔的) nerves, the only part of the nervous system that constantly (不断地) re-grows. “The idea was to take something from an area where the nervous system can repair itself, and does so throughout life, and put it into an area that doesn’t repair itself,” Professor Raisman said.Polish doctors injected the nasal cells into Mr Fidyka’s spinal cord above and below the injury and used some nerves from his ankle to form a bridge across the damaged tissue. The nasal cells appear to have caused the spinal nerves to repair themselves.Professor Raisman achieved this with rats in the late 1990s, but this is his greatest success. “I think the moment of discovery for me was Christmas in 1997 when I first saw a rat that couldn’t control its hand put its hand out to me. That was an exciting moment, because I realised then that my belief that the nervous system could be repaired was true.”Doctors chose the easiest case for their first attempt — it might not work for others. But there is a real sense of hope that an idea once thought impossible has been realised.David Nicholls, who helped provide money for the breakthrough, said information about the breakthrough would be made available to researchers across the globe.“What you’ve got to understand is that for t hree million paralysed people in the world today, the world looks a totally brighter place than it did yesterday,” he said.28. Why did Professor Geoff Raisman choose cells from the nose?A. The nervous system in the nose can repair itself.B. Cells in the nose can be easily transplanted.C. Cells in the nose re-produce rapidly.D. He just wanted to give it a try.29. Why did the operation work for Darek Fidyka?A. The nasal cells re-produced and spread quickly.B. The nerves from his ankle helped cure the injury.C. The nervous system in the spinal cord can repair itself.D. The nasal cells helped the spinal nerves to repair themselves.30. What made Professor Geoff Raisman believe the nervous system can be repaired?A. His study on animals.B. His operation on a paralysed patient.C. His sudden thoughts about Christmas.D. His unusual experience with a sick rat.31. David Nicholls’ words suggest that _____.A. the world is becoming better and brighterB. paralysed people have the hope of recoveryC. the report of the breakthrough will be published soonD. researchers across the globe will carry out the operationDThe Regional Director of the National Heritage Conservation Commission (国家遗产保护委员会) Kagosi Mwamulowe said the Barotse Plains is unique (独特的) and it deserves to be on the list of the World Heritage Sites.Mr. Mwamulowe said the Barotse Plains deserves to be included on the World Heritage List because it has a rich cultural heritage which includes the burial sites of former (以前的) kings.The Director said he hoped that the landscape would be declared as a heritage site next year in June. He also said it was important to protect Zambia’s unique culture for education and entertainment.Chief Natural Heritage Officer Muyumbwa Ndiyoi said there will be a lot of benefits when the Barotse Landscape is declared a World Heritage Site because it will attract many tourists and business investments will increase.Mr. Ndiyoi said the site will also benefit young people as knowledge will be passed down from generation to generation.He was reacting to a question from Nalolo District Labour Officer Jason Ngoma who wanted to know how the people of Western Province will benefit once the Barotse Landscape is declared a World Heritage Site.And University of Zambia Lecturer Charles Namate said there is a need for the site to be included on the World Heritage List because 50 years after its independence Zambia only has one heritage site, which is the Victoria Falls.Lecturer Namate said the Barotse Landscape was facing a lot of environmental degradation (恶化), and that’s why there is a need to recognize the value of its landscape and the memories of dead kings.The National Heritage Conservation Commission together with the Ministry of Chiefs and Traditional Affairs are in Western Province to hold meetings with Heads of Government Departments. The Commission also held closed-door meetings with the Litunga Lubosi Imwiko II of the Barotse Royal Establishment.32. What do we know about the Barotse Plains?A. It has royal tombs.B. It is being well protected.C. It is not far from the Victoria Falls.D. It’ll be listed as a World Heritage Site soon.33. Mr. Ndiyoi believes that if the Barotse Plains is declared a World Heritage Site,_____.A. it won’t benefit the people of Western ProvinceB. it will attract many foreign students and researchersC. it will contribute to the local economic developmentD. more people will start to learn about Zambia’s culture34. In the text, Lecturer Namate expressed his concern about _____.A. the future of the Barotse PlainsB. the development of Western ProvinceC. the development of tourism in ZambiaD. the environmental problems of the Barotse Plains35. What can we infer from the text?A. Zambia only has two World Heritage Sites.B. The Barotse Landscape has been partly destroyed.C. The Barotse Landscape issue is still being discussed.D. Young people in Zambia don’t know about Barotse culture.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
