[2020·成都第一次诊断]For six hundred years, the Tower of London's most exotic(异国风情的) prisoners were animals.
The Royal Menagerie(动物园) began as a result of kings exchanging rare and strange animals as gifts. In 1235, Henry Ⅲ was delighted to be presented with three wildcats by the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Ⅱ. These inspired him to start a zoo at the Tower. Henry's “wildcats”, although described as leopards, were probably lions. These are the ancestors of the three lions that still appear on the England football team's shirts today.
In 1251 the lions were joined by a “white bear” probably a polar bear — given by the King of Norway. In 1255, the King of France sent the first elephant ever seen in England and “people flocked together to see the novel sight”. Sadly, the elephant died in 1258.
Poor treatment and cramped conditions meant many of the animals did not survive for long. But the Royal Menagerie continued to grow. Edward I created a permanent new home for the Royal Menagerie at the western entrance to the Tower, which became known as the Lion Tower. The terrifying sounds and smells of wild animals must have both impressed and scared visitors.
By 1622, the collection had been extended to include three eagles, two pumas, a tiger and a jackal, as well as lions and leopards, who were the main attractions.
However, the end of the Royal Menagerie came in the 1830s. Campaigners had begun to raise concerns, and the animals were expensive, occasionally dangerous and a nuisance to the guardsmen. The Duke of Wellington sent 150 of the beasts to a new zoo in Regent's Park, today's London Zoo.
Despite Alfred Cops's best efforts to carry on, several further incidents including an escaped wolf and a monkey that bit a guardsman's leg convinced King William Ⅳ to shut down the Royal Menagerie for good in 1835. The remaining animals were sold to zoos and travelling shows and the Lion Tower was later demolished.

[2020·郑州市高三第三次质量预测]For as long as we've known about it, humans have searched for a cure for cancer. Across the world, countless amounts of time and money have been spent on researching a way to stop this terrible disease. But now, it seems like the answer could have been inside our own bodies the whole time.
Recently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US, a government agency that's responsible for health care, approved a new form of gene therapy that could mean the end of a certain type of cancer.
The therapy allows scientists to “train” the immune(有免疫力的) cells of sick patients to fight leukemia — a form of blood cancer that mostly affects young people.
The exciting new treatment works by removing healthy immune cells from the patient, known as T-cells, which are then changed to be able to “hunt down” cancer cells.
The cells are then put back into the patient before they begin to get rid of the patient's leukemia over time, similar to how the body fights off other illnesses.
“This is truly an exciting new day for cancer patients,” Louis J.DeGernnaro, president of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, said in a news release.

Up until now, a long and painful marrow transplant(骨髓移植) was the only option for many leukemia patients.
In this procedure, healthy blood cells are taken from a donor and placed into the sick patient, who also has to go through chemotherapy(化疗) to allow their body to adjust to the new cells.
But with a recovery rate of around 83% — according to a news release published by the FDA — it's hoped that the days of painful trips to the hospital, or even death, are over for leukemia sufferers.
“We're entering a new frontier in medical innovation with the ability to reprogram a patient's own cells to attack a deadly cancer,” FDA representative Scott Gottlieb said in the release. “New technologies such as gene and cell therapies hold the potential to transform medicine and our ability to treat and even cure many incurable illnesses.”
5.What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage?
A.To compare different ways of curing leukemia.
B.To report on a breakthrough in cancer treatment.
C.To explore the potential of gene and cell therapies.
D.To show scientists' efforts in search of a cure for cancer.
6.How does the new treatment for leukemia work?
A.By using changed T-cells to destroy cancer cells.
B.By replacing sick blood cells with healthy ones.
C.By removing sick blood cells during a marrow transplant.
D.By using chemotherapy to improve the patient's immune system.
7.What can be inferred about the new therapy for leukemia sufferers?
A.It can save them many more trips to the hospital.
B.It can improve their ability to fight off all kinds of cancer.
C.It can give them a better chance of survival and recovery.
D.It can reduce their pain in the process of the marrow transplant.
8.What is Scott Gottlieb's attitude toward gene and cell therapies?
A.Doubtful. B.Optimistic.
C.Worried. D.Casual.

be harmful to us. Too bad, teens don't see that connection so clearly. It's up to parents to convey the importance of sleeping enough. __1__
Play up the positives. Sometimes it helps to point out the benefits that come with changing behavior. In this case, not only will quality sleep help teens focus better in school and feel happier overall, it can improve the appearance of their skin. __2__
Lay stress on consistency. A lot of teenagers, and even grown-ups, think they can spend less time on shut-eye during the week if they make up for it on the weekend. Not true. An extra hour or two of sleep on Saturday and Sunday can do us more harm than good. __3__ As a result, it is hard to fall asleep at the appropriate time on Sunday evening.
Give the hard facts. __4__ That's why it's so important to explain what it feels like to be too tired to get behind the wheel. Promise your teen that he can always call you to pick him up no matter where he is or what time it is, if he's too sleepy to drive.
__5__ Sleep isn't as fun as texting with friends and it seems less necessary than cramming for an exam. Help your teen view sleep as a priority(优先事项) by making it one in your own life as well. Set up a family, charging station for electronic devices outside of the bedrooms, so phones can be powered up overnight without tempting(引诱) anyone to check messages. Leave your own devices there when you go to bed. Rarely is anything so important that it can't wait until after a good night's sleep.
A.Lead by example.
B.Set aside quality family time.
C.These four tips will show you how.
