AI wondered if anyone had experienced such an unexpected trip as I had.The day of my holiday arrived, but I wasn’t looking forward to it. I had little money and had only been able to afford to stay with my Aunt Rosa in Spain. So, I wasn’t really excited as I knew exactly what it was going to be like: lots of noisy cousins, and Aunt Rosa begging me to take her for a ride.After I had checked in, I made my way slowly to the departure gate. As I was waiting to board the plane, I kept thinking about my ideal holiday destination: Jamaica, with its long, sandy beaches and crystal clear water.As soon as the plane took off, I fell fast asleep and only woke to the sound of the announcement: “Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seat belts, as we will shortly be landing in Kingston.” I froze in my seat. Was I dreaming? Kingston? Jamaica? I had boarded the wrong plane!Immediately after the plane landed, I explained the situation to the authorities. It seems there were also three other passengers heading for Spain. Apparently it had been the airline’s fault, since the flight numbers for Spain and Jamaica were exactly the same! Therefore, with no flight back to London for a week, the airline had no choice but to pay for our stay.So there I was, lying on the beach, enjoying the music and the marvelous food of Jamaica! As for Aunt Rosa, I suppose she just had to live without me!21. Why did the writer choose to spend her holiday with her aunt in Spain?A. She missed her cousins very much.B.

Medical workers on board collect blood from volunteers. The blood is then stored up and given to people who have lost a large amount of it due to accidents or diseases.Blood is one of the most important substances (物质) supporting our lives. But for now, the only way we can get more of it is through donation. And donated blood has its own problems. First of all, certain blood types are extremely rare. Type O negative blood (O-), for example, only exists in 7 percent of people, according to Sunday Times. There are fewer donors and therefore there isn’t enough of this type of blood for everybody who needs it. In addition, donated blood comes from various people, which means that it has to be examined carefully for disease such as hepatitis (肝炎) and HIV to make sure that it’s safe for transfusion.This is why scientists all over the world have been trying to make blood in labs. And now, someone finally succeeded—Marc Turner at the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service has produced blood fit for transfusion, reported Forbes.Unlike many other scientists, who have tried to make blood substitutes by mixing up different ingredients together, Turner chose to grow blood directly from human stem cells (干细胞). He developed a special technique to create a chemical environment similar to that in our bone marrow (骨髓). This environment encourages stem cells to develop fully into red blood cell.According to Turner, his version of artificial blood is unlikely to contain disease viruses or produce side effects. And the best part is that what he managed to produce was type O- blood. Not only is it a rare blood type, it’s also a universal type, which means it can be transfused into any patient.The new blood is scheduled for human tests in 2016. However, Turner stressed that the new study should not be taken as a signal for people to stop donating blood because it could be another 20 years before the artificial blood can be manufactured on a large scale. “It is one thing to bake a cake and anot her thing to bake a cake 100 times the size,” said Turner. “It’s not just a matter of putting in 100 times the ingredients.”28．According to the text, a potential danger of blood transfusion is that_____.A. it is impossible to store up large amounts of bloodB. blood transfusion may lead to some terrible infectionsC. it is very hard to find matches for certain blood typesD. blood transfusion often leads to serious side effects29．The study Marc Turner did is different from those of many other scientists in that _____.A. he grew artificial blood using human stem cellsB. he was able to discover the special function of type O- bloodC. he produced the first artificial blood in the worldD. he used special ingredients to produce artificial blood cells30．We can know from the text that__________.A. people with type O- blood can receive blood transfusion from anyoneB. the practice of blood transfusion will end in 20 yearsC. the new blood produced by Turner has been experimented on human beingsD. the artificial blood produced by Turner will be a safe and universal type31. Which of the following words best describes Turner’s attitude towards the application of hisartificial blood?A. Pessimistic.B. Doubtful.C. Cautious.D. Uninterested.DNelson Mandela and wife Winnie, walking hand in hand, raise clenched fists upon his release from Victor prison, Cape Town, Sunday, February 11, 1990.Nelson Mandela died at the age of 95, on 6 December 2013, according to South African President Jacob Zuma. His death marks the final chapter in a life that changed South Africa forever. Those 95 years were remarkable.At the age of seven, he entered a local school, where he was given the name “Nelson”, after Admiral Horatio Nelson of the Royal Navy, by a teacher who had difficulty in pronouncing his African name. That name, Rolihlahla, means “troublemaker”.In 1927, when Mandela was nine, he decided to become a lawyer, influenced by the cases that came on his father. In 1942 Mandela entered politics by joining the African National Congress (ANC), South Africa's major liberation movement and today the country's ruling party. It was during this time that he and a small group of mainly young members of the ANC got down to a task transforming the party into a mass movement.In 1952, he was charged and brought to trial for his role in the campaign of fighting against Unjust Laws and given a prison sentence. The 1950s turned out to be a time of hardship and suffering for Mandela--he was banned, arrested and imprisoned.While in prison, Mandela studied by correspondence with the University of London, earning a Bachelor of Law degree. He never faced his teachers, but his name was familiar to all the teachers by means of his writing letters.After spending 27 years in prison, Mandela became South Africa's first democratically elected president in 1994. He united a fearful country, bringing together blacks and whites in harmony, when South Africa was living through violent and troubled times. After serving a five-year term as president of the country, he retired from public life, though not from the public eye.He is the greatest son of the nation and a great father of his people. More than l,115 awards and honors, even the Nobel Peace Prize had been on him. More than 85 streets, roads, avenues, bridges, highways had been named after Mandela.32. Why did the teacher give Mandela the name "Nelson"?A. Because his original name was hard for the teacher to pronounce.B. Because Mandela was very naughty at school.C. Because Mandela had no formal name at school.D. Because Mandela respected Admiral Horatio Nelson very much.33. We can infer from the text that_______.A. Mandela hated white people and the government for white peopleB. Mandela tried his best to set up a government ruled by black peopleC. Mandela set up one of the ruling parties of African National CongressD. Mandela wanted blacks and whites to live equally and peacefully34. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A. Mandela became a lawyer in order to help the black.B. Mandela disappeared from the public eye after he retired.C. Mandela kept on studying laws even when he was in prison.D. Mandela named many streets and other buildings in his nation.35. How old was Mandela when he retired?A. 81.B. 91.C. 95.D. 76.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。
