Antibiotics, vaccines, organ transplant and HIV/AIDS treatment are all medical milestones that have indisputably made life better and saved millions of lives.
The lab animal issue has received attention in China in recent years as more people are concerned about animals rights. China has no animal welfare laws prohibiting cruelty to animals but there are standards (1986 and the 2006) for humane treatment of lob animals, though these are difficult to enforce.
World Day for Laboratory Animals were established in 1979 by the British National Anti-Vivisection Society, memorializing millions of animals that contributed to pure science, medicine, industry, fashion and the cosmetics industry. It is also a day of action to protest the use of live animals for experiments from lab rats and dogs to cattle and primates(灵长类动物）.
Thousands of activities worldwide are campaigning to raise awareness and demand an end to experimentation with animals, though there are few effective alternatives. The British Union for the Abolition of vivisection estimates that 100 meaning vertebrates(脊椎动物)are used in experiments every year, 10 to 11 million in the European Union. This doesn?t include mice, rates, frogs and animals not yet weaned. There are no reliable figures for China where specially bred animals are used extensively for research. Some date indicate around 16 million vertebrates were used in 2006.
Three Rs principle
The three Rs are principles for lab animal welfare proposed by microbiologist RL Burch and zoologist W.M.S Russel in 1959. They are “ reduction, refinement and replacement” and scientists are encouraged to follow them.
*Reduce the number of animals by improving experimental techniques and increasing information sharing among researchers.
* Refine experiments and treatment to reduce suffering; use less invasive techniques, improve care and living conditions;
* Replace experiments on live animals with alternative testing where possible.
“But the three Rs suggests general acquiescence(默许) in animal experimentation,” says a statement by Animal Rights in China (ARC), set in 2006 by over 3,000 campaigners who have been urging the use of alternatives.
The alternatives activists advocate include using cell cultures instead of whole animals, using photo toxicity tests on chemicals to predict their effects on humans, using computer models, studying human volunteers and working on isolated tissues. These approaches can be useful but they can?t provide the answers that animal research can.
“Animal experimentation is a basic, very important method in life science study and biomedical research and in some specific fields, so it is irreplaceable,” says Yang Fei, deputy director of the Animal Experimentation Department of Fudan university. Yang has worked on regulating standardizing animal testing for over 15 years.
He says testing on primates is still necessary , because the immune system is very similar to that of humans. They are needed to develop drugs for malaria, HIV/AIDS and infections such as SRAS, he says, though admitting the approach is not perfect.

A. To call for better experimental techniques to reduce sufferings B. To memorialize the animals sacrificed in the labs C. To raise awareness of animal right

65. why W.M.S Russel advocated researchers to share more information?
A. Researchers can better cooperate with each other to eliminate animal testing B. Researchers can turn into alternatives to replace animal testing C. Researchers can’t avoid repeating similar testing on animals D. Researchers can make the animal testing more effective 66. ______ is the biggest obstacle to canceling animal testing.
A. Lack of enough fund
B. lack of human awareness D. Lack of effective alternatives
C. Lack of supportive statistics
Section C （8分）
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. Still, Wanghong delicacies(佳肴) hold strong appeal to young consumers as long as they are high quality and good tastes. B. After they buy the product and send a picture to the moments, perhaps the existential anxiety will be cured. C. Merchants have to figure out the true value and the selling point of their products. D. It is just because people are too idle and a Wanghong delicacies are too attractive. E. Wanghong phenomenon also rests with customers? mindset and behavior. F. It is obvious that queuing is a kind of hunger marketing strategy.
Overnight, eating fried chicken in the People?s Square is OUT; instead, people start to drink HEEKCAA and eat Bao Master. This year, the queues in front of the doors of “Wanghong delicacies” were so dense that a cup of tea has been hyped to over 80 Yuan by scalpers(黄牛) and the local bloggers even customized a one-day tour to eat in shanghai.
To a great extent, Wanghong phenomenon depends on merchants? business strategy. 67.______. Business also works on publicity. Before HEECCA?s arrival in Shanghai, it has advertised through micro-blog, local life service and other self-media, which has generated a certain amount of heat among the public. Once people make the purchase, the sense of accomplishment will urge some of them to show off at the WeChat moments. which is good for brand image. Also, when a product is quickly recognized by customers, capitals will come in great numbers. The boost of capitals undoubtedly helps the subsequent publicity of the brand.
68. ______. In the Internet era, the spread of information is so fast that it doesn?t matter whether the tea tests good or bad; it’s just a matter of whether you ever drink it. There?s a word for this be behaviour- “fomo”, which means fear of missing out. Oxford university professor said
this is not new. As social animals, humans have a strong desire to be part of a group, to be accepted, recognized, valued and remembered. A little baby cries for a hug and a child makes a small trouble to get noticed. These behaviors are in the eyes of sociologists , anxious for existence. It?s just that social media today that make it easier for people to perceive other people?s life and have a sense of loss not to join them when they know what others are doing.
10-20 yuan is the exchange value of milk tea, but it?s the symbol value of goods that encourages people to “pull the grass”. Just like the lipstick, mailbox and graffiti wall that have being on the list of Wanghong, people want to use relatively controllable spending to gain satisfaction from a moments? thumb up. 69.______.
With the development of society, consumers are not just buying a product but its brand culture and quality of life, so the appearance of light consuming is inevitable. However, “Wanghong economy” is always short-lived because this consumer group is changeable in affection. Consumers who come by “physical attractiveness” will quickly vanish if there is no implicit value or connotation to support.70.______. Besides, consumers should make rational consumption instead of just following the trend.
IV. Summary Writing （10分）
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a fewcoins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.
Certainly, most of the world's great religions order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves.But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in the old days,when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help,is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.
First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually
