(23) 45 out of every 100 tonnes of wood fibre used to make paper in Australia comes from waste paper, the rest comes directly from
13、virgin fibre from forests and plantations. By world standards this is a good (24) since the world-wide average is 33 percent waste paper. Governments have encouraged waste paper collection and (25) schemes and at the same time, the paper industry has responded by developing new recycling technologie

24、first time, stem cells purified from fat have been used to heal an injury in a living animal. Michael Longaker of Stanford University in California and his team showed in mouse experiments that so-called adipose derived adult stromal (ADAS) cells purified from a rodents belly fat could be coaxed to
25、heal a skull fracture too large to mend by itself.The power of ADAS cells to transform into bone, cartilage and even neurons has been studied for years in test tubes. But Jeffrey Gimble, who studies human ADAS cells at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge says Longakers report is an important s
26、tep forward. “Actually repairing a defect in an animal model had never been done. This is an excellent study.“ If the same technique works in humans, these cells could be coaxed to mend broken bones and correct other defects in tens of thousands of surgical procedures each year in which bone grafts
27、and prosthetics are now necessary.Longakers group tested the ability of ADAS cells to heal four-millimetre-long fractures surgically-induced in the skulls of mice. In 12 weeks, the cells filled 70 to 90 per cent of the defects, while untreated animals had only unorganized bone formation in less than
28、 10 per cent of the fractures. No extreme genetic manipulation or treatment of the cells was necessary. ADAS cells began manufacturing bone when they were simply laid onto a biodegradable polymer that contained apatite, a compound that naturally occurs in bone. Furthermore, the ADAS cells performed
29、as well as bone marrow stromal cells, which would seem to be more natural architects of bone. It remains to be seen whether human ADAS cells will build bone as effectively. But researchers are excited about the prospects. Human bone marrow stromal cells are already being used in clinical trials as s
30、ources of skeleton-building material, but the ADAS cells may have some significant advantages.Longaker reports that ADAS cells grow seven times faster than the bone marrow cells in the laboratory. And it is relatively easy to harvest more than a litre of fat tissue, even from patients who are not ob
31、ese. Bone marrow is much less plentiful and must be removed in a painful surgical procedure. Of course, liposuction itself is not a pleasant operation. But according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than 300,000 people volunteered to have the procedure in 2003 simply for cosmetic re
32、asons. “If the procedure was the first step to healing broken bones or replacing other tissue its popularity could only grow,“ says Gimble. “Just think of that./（分数：10.00）(1).Gimble speaks highly of Longaker in that _.A. his work made an unprecedented achievement in the fieldB. he proved that ADAS c
33、ells contributed a lot to cell therapyC. his work paved way for ADAS cell application in clinical trialsD. he cured an animal defect that had never been repaired before（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).As to ADAS cells, which of the following is NOT localized in laboratory?A. They are easy to operate. B. Their a
34、bstraction causes no pains.C. They grow fast. D. Their yields are large.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).We can infer from Paragraph 3 that _.A. ADAS cells are efficient in clinical applicationB. ADAS cells act as naturally as marrow cellsC. ADAS cells can build bone formation orderlyD. ADAS cells therapy will
35、replace genetic treatment（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).According to Gimble, liposuction will probably be used for _.A. losing weight B. keeping fitC. abstracting ADAS cells D. transplanting organ（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The best title for the passage might be _.A. Bright Future of ADAS Cells B. A Potential Repai
36、ring TechniqueC. Advantaged ADAS Cells D. Application of ADAS Cells（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.五、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Global energy demand is expected to triple by mid-century. The earth is unlikely to run out of fossil fuels by then, given its vast reserves of coal, but it seems unthinkable that we will
37、 continue to use them as we do now. Its not just a question of supply and price, or even of the disease caused by filthy air. The terrorist assault on the World Trade Center raises other scary scenarios: how much easier would it be to crack open the Trans-Alaska pipeline and how much deadlier would
38、it be to bomb a nuclear plant than to attack a wind arm?Skeptics may recall the burst of enthusiasm for conservation and renewable power when oil prices quadrupled in the 1970s. State-funded energy research and development surged, while tax incentives boosted solar, wind and other alternatives to pe
39、troleum and the atom. But when oil supplies loosened and prices dropped in the early 1990s, governments lost interest. In the state of California, subsidies evaporated, pushing wind companies into bankruptcy.Clean energy has long way to go. Only 2.2% of the worlds energy comes from “new“ renewables
40、such as small hydroelectric dams, wind, solar and geothermal. How to boost that share-and at what pace-is debated in industrialized nations-from Japan, which imports 99.7 % of its oil, to Germany, where the nearby Chernobyl accident turned the public against nuclear plants, to the U.S., where the Bu
41、sh Administration has strong ties to the oil industry. But the momentum toward clean renewables is undeniable. How soon we reach an era of clean, inexhaustible energy depends on technology. Solar and wind energies are intermittent: When the sky is cloudy or the breeze dies down, fossil fuel or nucle
42、ar plants must kick into compensate. But scientists are working on better ways to store electricity from renewable sources.While developed nations debate how to fuel their power plants, however, some 1.6 billion people-a quarter of the globes population-have no access to electricity or gasoline. Man
43、y spend their days collecting firewood and cow dung, burning it in primitive stoves that belch smoke into their lungs. To emerge from poverty, they need modern energy. And renewables can help. From village-scale hydropower to household photovoltaic systems to bio-gas stoves that convert dung into fu
44、el.Ultimately, the earth can meet its energy needs without fouling the environment. “But it wont happen,“ asserts Thomas Johansson, an energy adviser to the United Nations Development Program, “without political will.“ To begin with, widespread government subsidies for fossil fuels and nuclear energ
45、y must be dismantled to level the playing field for renewables. Moreover, government should pressure utility to meet targets for renewable sources of energy.（分数：10.00）(1).The authors biggest worry about using nuclear energy is that _.A. it will do great harm to the inadequate reserves of coalB. it i
46、s deadly if terrorists attack a nuclear plantC. it will limit the development of many other alternativesD. there will be a wider gap between developed and developing countries（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The renewable energy research lost support from governments in the early 1990s because _.A. skeptics wer
47、e becoming doubtful about the efficiency of renewablesB. renewables could not meet the increasing energy needs of the societyC. it was much easier and cheaper to use oil than beforeD. the investment into the field was not worth its value（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Which one of the following applies to the
48、use of renewables in developed nations?A. The more developed a nation is, the higher the proportion of renewables being used.B. Developed nations are experiencing a fierce energy revolution.C. Developed nations ties with the oil industry are becoming tense.D. Developed nations havent reached a conse
49、nsus about using more renewables.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).From the passage, we can conclude that _.A. it will be impossible for wind and solar energy to completely replace fossil fuelsB. high technology plays a vital role in the trend toward clean energyC. the development of a nation will inevitably pollute the environmentD. poor areas are badly polluted and are in high need of renewable energy（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The authors purpose of wri
