B When I was a little girl, I was foolish enough to believe everything adults said. Even I was scared to death by a word my mother said. It all started when my elder brother came home with a heavy bag of cherries （樱桃）a friend gave him. In order to spend a pleasant afternoon, my sister suggested we have a competition to see who could eat the most cherries in as short a time as possible and be the winner. We all jumped at her idea, and the competition began in no time. Our action had to be fast and we must know how to bite in the middle of the cherry to chew and spit the seed out losing no time. I realized that this wasn’t a good game to play. And I suddenly found that I have swallowed more than one seed down to my stomach. Then Mother came and laughed and said to me, “tonight when you sleep, a cherry tree will grow out from your head.” I was jittery and scared. I believed every word she said at that age. I was rather frightened that night thinking how I was going to make it to school the next morning if I had a tree on top of my head or how I would leave this world just like that because of the cherry seeds in my stomach. I couldn’t sleep the whole night. Well, the next morning, I woke up to my surprise , and discovered nothing had changed. My head was normal as it was. But one thing remains unchanged until this day.

Because they wanted to have a happy afternoon. D. Because they just wanted to please their brothers. 25. What does the underlined word “jittery” in Para 2 probably mean? A. Pleased. B. Disappointed.

Because her brother had the similar experience before. D. Because she wanted to have a good relationship with her mother. 27. In this passage the writer wants to _______. A. introduce a kind of fruit to readers B. show her anger to her mother C. show the reason why she hates the fruit D. tell an interesting story of her childhood C Iman, the last Sumatran rhino(犀牛) in Malaysia, died in 2019 — bringing the endangered species one step closer to extinction. Now, Malaysian scientists are hoping to use tissues and cells from Iman and other dead rhinos to bring the population back. “Before the three rhinos (the last survivors in Malaysia) died, we got their cells, and the cells are still alive — which is why I’m quite confident,” Dr. Lokman said. “If we don’ t have any cells, or have just tissue that isn’t living anymore, we wouldn’t be able to do anything. But now we have a living thing that we can use.” The cells came from the rhinos’ hearts, lungs and brains. What is the most important is that the team collected stem cells (干细胞). One possible approach is to develop these stem cells into an egg（卵子）and sperm (精子), to create an embryo (胚胎) that will be placed into a surrogate mother ( 代孕母亲). She will likely be another rhino, either a Sumatran rh
