阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

A

Have you ever know anyone who suffered from arthritis(关节炎)? Many people who suffer from the disease use cortisone(可的松)to keep their arthritis under control. Cortisone is cheap and easily available now. but because it once had to be made form animals, cortisone cost so much –up to 50 dollars a pill---that only the rich could afford it. Then a brilliant chemist named Percy Lavon Julian figured out how to make cortisone from an unlikely source: soybeans.

Percy Julian was born in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1898, a time when most African-American children had no chance of getting a good education. But Julian’s father and mother were determined that all their children would be educated.

It wasn’t easy for Percy Julian. When he entered DePauw University in Indiana in 1921, he had to attend special classes, along with his regular college courses, to catch up. By the time the graduated, however, he was at the top of his class. Julian’s favorite subject was chemistry, and he decided to get his Ph.D. and become a research scientist. But he found that in the 1920s, very few American universities were willing to admit an African American into their graduate programs. So Julian took a teaching job at Fish University, a back college in Vienna, Austria, because European universities were than more open to African-American students than American universities.

On his return to the United States, he headed DePauw’s chemistry department from 1932 to 1936. During this period, Julian got married. In 1935, he made his first great laboratory breakthrough with he artificial creation of a drug used to treat the eye disease glaucoma(青光眼). Later he obtained a position at Glidden Company as a lab director in Chicago where he produced the first manmade cortisone. Julian’s techniques for making cortisone and other drugs from soybeans made these important substances(物质)widely and cheaply available, and earned Julian his reputation as one of the most brilliant research chemists of the 20th century.

21. In the past, cortisone made from animals was ________.

A. not effective enough B. potentially harmful

C. too expensive D. difficult to produce

22. Which of the following is the correct order of the events about Julian?

d. He taught at Fisk University

23. On his road to success, Julian had long been troubled by ___________.

A. constant misunderstandings B. financial difficulties

C. mental pressure D. racial discrimination

24. Julian was most appreciated for _________.

A. his method of creating cortisone

Dolphins have been known to play sometimes with and carry sponges(海绵)over their noses, but researchers have been at a loss to explain precisely why.

Now, a recent study by Australian researchers may have uncovered the reason.

Sightings of dolphins carrying sponges on their noses while hunting fish from the rocky ocean floor have been recorded since the 1980s.

Researchers at the University of New South Wales used computer modeling of behavior to explore how long the interesting behavior, believed to provide protection against nose injuries, has gone on.

“In animal species that use tools, usually the entire population uses the tools. But in this case, only about five percent of the dolphins living in the bay use the sponges as a tool,” said Anna Kopps at the University of New South Wales Evolution Ecologist Research Centre.

The research also shows that nearly all the spongers are female. Scientists believe one single female started sponging in Shark Bay and all her descendants(后代)in the area---now the home of around three thousand dolphins—learned the behavior from their mothers. The sponging has been going to for some hundred eighty years.

“It’s interesting that the behavior doesn’t spread to the entire population and it doesn’t go extinct either,” said Kopps.
