Humans work hard to avoid viruses.Sick people are isolated, diseased animals are killed and fields of infected crops are fired up.Reviving(復活) an ancient virus would surely be a disaster.
But a new study led by Fiddaman from University of Oxford, challenges this conventional wisdom.It shows how the revival of an ancient virus can unlock the secrets of its evolution.
The virus in the study is Marek's disease virus(MDV), killing more than 90% of chickens.Yet when it was discovered in 1907, MDV rarely caused death.
Dr.Fiddaman wondered whether its new-found virulence (毒性) was a result of large structural changes.To find out, he and his colleagues got their hands on nearly 1,000 chicken bones from ancient times across Europe and Asia, some of them up to 2,000 years old.Sections of DNA from these remains were mapped onto the ones of today's virus.
As the authors pieced together the sets of genes of ancient MDV, however, they noticed that the genes were arranged identically to those in modern species.It suggests that the increased virulence resulted not from large structural changes, but from point mutations (突變)．In particular, changes had occurred in the arrangement of a gene called MEQ, which has an essential role in tumor(腫瘤) formation.
This discovery suggests that the ancient MDV may not have been able to cause tumors.To test this assumption, Dr.Fiddaman followed up his study with a daring experiment.He made the ancient form of the MEQ gene and shoot it into living chicken cells.It did not turn on any of the genes associated with tumor formation.In comparison, a modern MEQ gene quickly showed its tendency to cause tumors.
By combining ancient and modern genetic biology, the methods pioneered in the paper reveal how, and more importantly why, any virus mutates.That could help scientists tackle other viruses that pull on the purse strings of farmers—by designing new vaccines, for instance—or even to work out how to prevent another global pandemic.
4．What is widely acknowledged about the revival of an ancient virus？
A．It is a challenging task.
B．It reveals the virus evolution.
C．It means a disaster for humans.
D．It helps people fight diseases.
5．What caused the virulence change of MDV？
A．Point mutations in MEQ.
B．The occurrence of a new gene.
C．The reproduction of the ancient MDV.
D．Large structural changes in modern species.
6．How did Dr.Fiddaman test the assumption？
A．By investigating a typical case.
B．By conducting a field survey.
C．By studying the related theories.
D．By doing a comparative experiment.
7．What can we infer from the last paragraph？
A．Viruses weaken gradually when they mutate.
B．The finding throws light on handling other viruses.
C．A global pandemic requires a world effort to end it.
D．Farmers will face more complex challenges than before.

Common water plants could provide a green energy source.Scientists have figured out how to get large amounts of oil from duckweed, one of nature's fastest-growing water plants.Transferring such plant oil into biodiesel (生物柴油) for transportation and heating could be a big part of a more sustainable future.
In a new study, researchers genetically engineered duckweed plants to produce seven times more oil per acre than soybeans.John Shanklin, a biochemist says, further research could double the engineered duckweed's oil output in the next few years.
Unlike fossil fuels, which form underground, biofuels can be refreshed faster than they are used.Fuels made from new and used vegetable oils, animal fat and seaweed can have a lower carbon footprint than fossil fuels do, but there has been a recent negative view against them.This is partly because so many crops now go into energy production rather than food；biofuels take up more than 100 million acres of the world's agricultural land.
Duckweed, common on every continent but Antarctica, is among the world's most productive plants, and the researchers suppose it could be a game-changing renewable energy source for three key reasons.First, it grows readily in water, so it wouldn't compete with food crops for agricultural land.Second, duckweed can grow fast in agricultural pollution released into the water.Third, Shanklin and his team found a way to avoid a major biotechnological barrier.For the new study, the researchers added an oil-producing gene, “turning it on like a light switch” by introducing a particular molecule (分子) only when the plant had finished growing.Shanklin says, “If it replicates(自我復制) in other species—and there's no reason to think that it would not—this can solve one of our biggest issues, which is how we can make more oil in more plants without negatively affecting growth.”
To expand production to industrial levels, scientists will need to design and produce large-scale bases for growing engineered plants and obtaining oil, which will be a challenge, because duckweed is a non-mainstream crop without much existing infrastructure(基礎設施)．
8．What can people get directly from duckweed？
A．Plant oil. B．Stable biodiesel.
C．Sustainable water. D．Natural heat.
9．What does Paragraph 4 mainly convey？
A．Options for renewable energy.
B．Reasons for engineering genes.
C．The potential of revolutionary energy sources.
D．The approach to avoiding agricultural pollution.
10．What is the decisive factor in mass-producing the plant？
A．Industrial levels. B．Unique design.
C．Academic research. D．Basic facilities.
11．What would be the best title for the text？
A．Duckweed Power
B．Duckweed Production
C．Genetic Engineering
D．Genetic Testing

The reasons skiers and snowboarders wear goggles (護目鏡) or glasses might seem a little obvious, especially if you've ever hit the slopes yourself.Sunlight reflected off the snow can make it hard to see, and UV (紫外的) rays can even damage your eyesight.Special colored lenses(鏡片) also create contrast, so your whole path won't look like one flat expanse of whiteness. 1．　　　
Olympic speed skaters, meanwhile, are racing inside on smooth ice. 2．　　　
According to NBC Olympics, glasses can increase visibility on indoor tracks, too. 3.　　　 And while the ice may look smooth from a distance, those sharp blades can kick up ice chips that could pose problems if they end up in your eyes.In the event of a crash, shatter-proof glasses also protect skaters' eyes from errant blades.
4．　　　 Short-track speed skaters(who race around a roughly 111-meter track) can go as fast as 30 miles per hour or more, and long-track speed skaters(whose track is 400 meters long) sometimes hit about 35 miles per hour.The wind resistance generated by such speed—in a chilly arena(圓形運動場；競技場；場地)—is enough to make any skater's eyes start streaming with tears.Picture leaning your head out of the window of a car that's going around 35 miles per hour on a cold day：You'd probably want to be wearing glasses, too.
That said, glasses aren't a requirement. 5.　　　 Belgium's Stijn Desmet, for example, has raced in Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games without eyewear, as has China's Zhang Chutong.
A．How do they wear glasses
B．So why do they wear glasses
C．Some skiers are afraid of the sunlight.
D．Some skaters' lenses are colored to help with that.
E．You'll occasionally see speed skaters with uncovered visages.
F．Not to mention that eyewear protects your eyes from any snow you displace.
G．But the biggest reason speed skaters opt for eyewear just might be their speed.

Dear judges and fellow students，
Good morning! Today, I want to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of driverless taxis.
On the positive side, these vehicles can reduce human error, save time and decrease traffic accidents.They are also environmentally friendly thanks to their intelligent control systems.However, safety concerns arise as technology can fail or be hacked. Additionally, job displacement for drivers is a significant issue.
In my view, driverless taxis are a step forward but must be managed carefully to reduce risks and protect employment.We should balance innovation with human welfare.
Thanks for your listening.
