[2015·吉林长春质检二]Scientists in Argentina have created the world's first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce human-like milk.
Genetic engineering was used to introduce the “mothers' milk” genes into the animal before birth, according to the National Institute of Agribusiness Technology in Buenos Aires.
As an adult, the cloned cow “will produce milk that is similar toP1 that of humans”， which will prove “a development of great importance for the nutritionW1 of infants (婴儿)”， said the institute. “The cloned cow, named Rosita ISA, is the first in the world with two human genes that contain the proteins present in human milk，” said the statementW2.
In April, scientists in China published details of research showing that they
had created dairy cows which produced milk containing proteins found in human breast milk.S But the Argentine team said the Chinese only introduced one human gene. While
their research involvedW3 two, meaning the milk will more_closely_resemble that of humans.
“Our goal was to raise the nutrition value of cows' milk by adding two human genes, which do good toP2 the immune system of infants，”said Adrian Mutto, from the National University of San Martin which worked with the institute.
Cristina Kirchner, President of Argentina, said the scientific institute made all Argentines proud. She also said that she had rejectedW4 the “honor” of having the cow named after her. “They came to tell me that the name is Cristina, but what woman would like to have a cow named after her? It appeared to me to be more properW5 to call it Rosita.”
阿根廷国家农业综合科技研究所的科学家们日前宣布，他们已成功培育出一头能够产类似人奶的奶牛。

学习习惯会影响学习效果，本文就如何养成良好的学习习惯给我们提出了建议。 1．saying 考查名词。there is a famous saying表示“有一句名言”。
2．shows 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。此处陈述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时；句子的主语为“An apple a day keeps the doctor away”，谓语动词用单数。
3．included 考查过去分词。“high scores and abundant knowledge”和“include”之间为动宾关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。
4．to/towards 考查介词。attitude to/towards表示“对??的态度”。 5．Obviously 考查副词。根据语境可知，此处应用副词作状语。 6．a 考查冠词。diary为可数名词，故应用不定冠词a，表泛指。 7．writing 考查动名词。by为介词，后接动名词作宾语。
8．and 考查固定句型。这是一个固定句型“祈使句＋and＋陈述句”。 9．more 考查固定词组。what's more表示“而且”。 10．as 考查固定搭配。as well表示“还”。 Ⅳ.短文改错
