A. The ways of DNA treatment.
B. The famous biology scientists.
C. The process of understanding DNA.
【答案】17. A 18. B 19. A 20. C
【原文】DNA is the whole “map” of the human body. It is something that all humans have, and it tells the body what to do. People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1860, Mr. Mendel discovered why we look so much like our parents. It is because of small things, which are now called “genes”, in our body. The chemical DNA was first discovered in 1869, but its role was not demonstrated until 1943. In 1953, two scientists found out that those small parts are really messages. They’re written in the DNA with a special language. In 1961, another two scientists found the first “word” that they could understand in that language. It shows how DNA tells the cell to build its parts. So far, scientists have now found all the words in the DNA map, but we still don’t understand what they all do. By understanding what just one “word” means, we can help to save people from several illnesses. So the more we understand, the more doctors will be able to do. Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine and help sick people. Other people worry that when we find out more information, we will use it in the wrong way.
第二部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)
第一节　(共15小题；每小题2.5分，共37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Martín Ramírez from Argentina
I think it is okay for scientists to grow genetically-engineer food because they can develop better food and this can help with the hunger problem all around the world. Scientists can help us to have more and better meats to eat by cloning only the superior animals. I don’t think that we should worry so much about genetically-engineered food.
Angela Fernandez from Mexico
I don’t know whether the tomatoes we find in supermarkets are genetically manipulated or not. What I do know is that they are very bad! A tomato grown with sun and soil is much better. In the case of strawberries, actually, most strawberries we can find are very tasty. I guess, however, they have been genetically manipulated, too.
Vera Sorokina from Russia
If we manipulate vegetable genes, we can also do with human genes. So, it may be possible that a substance which is left in food could get into a human body while the person is eating. Then, is it possible that this substance could modify the person’s genetic structure?
Pinar Müfftler from Turkey
I don’t agree with the idea that scientists should not grow genetically-engineered food because it is not safe. If they want to make progress, they should do experiments. It’s important to keep trying. If they don’t keep trying, they will never be able to develop new technologies. Maybe these technologies won’t be successful in the beginning, but if scientists keep trying, they will develop new ways.
21. Of the people above, who is obviously against genetically-engineered food?
A. Pinar Müfftler from Turkey. B. Martín Ramírez from Argentina.
C. Vera Sirotkina from Russia. D. Angela Fernandez from Mexico.
22. As far as Pinar Müfftler is concerned, 　　　.
A. developing such food is a better way to solve world hunger
B. experimenting on such food shouldn’t be allowed
C. new technologies will make such food safer to eat
D. this kind of food is much better and tastier
23. What do we infer about Martín Ramírez?
A. He doubts whether such food is safe. B. He worries that the crops will spoil.
C. He doesn’t like vegetables and fruits. D. He is in favour of cloning animals.
【答案】21. D 22. C 23. D
【解析】这是一篇应用文。文章主要列举了四个人对转基因食物以及克隆的看法。
21. 细节理解题。根据第二段“I don’t know whether the tomatoes we find in supermarkets are genetically manipulated or not. What I do know is that they are very bad! A tomato grown with sun and soil is much better.(我不知道我们在超市里看到的西红柿是不是转基因的。我所知道的是，他们非常糟糕！有阳光和土壤的番茄要好得多)”可知，来自墨西哥的Angela Fernandez明显反对转基因食品。故选D。
22. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“If they don’t keep trying, they will never be able to develop new technologies. Maybe these technologies won’t be successful in the beginning, but if scientists keep trying, they will develop new ways.(如果他们不不断尝试，他们将永远无法开发新技术。也许这些技术一开始不会成功，但如果科学家们不断尝试，他们会开发出新的方法)”可知，Pinar Müfftler认为新技术将使这类食品食用更安全。故选C。
23. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Scientists can help us to have more and better meats to eat by cloning only the superior animals.(科学家可以通过克隆优质动物来帮助我们有更多更好的肉吃)”可推知，Martín Ramírez赞成克隆动物。故选D。
B
One summer day as I was heading to the teaching building, I heard someone call my name. I turned around and saw Philip, a counselor (顾问) at our admissions office, standing with another young man. Philip introduced me to him, Stephen, and reminded me that Stephen would be taking one of my classes.
Stephen looked at me. With a somewhat painful expression, he asked if my class was going to be hard and if he would be able to pass. I introduced all the things that he would be expected to learn. As we talked, I saw Stephen’s eyes getting big with fear.
I told him to do all of his assignments, and to hand them in on time. Rather than being overwhelmed (压倒) by all of the work, I told him the most successful students made a master calendar of all the assignments so they could plan their workload.
As the fall semester went on, I learned more of Stephen’s story. It had taken him longer to finish the assignments than most young people. Family members, including his mother, kept reminding him that he was a failure. But he kept at it and didn’t take them to heart. He told me that before coming to our college, no one believed he could manage it.
Stephen didn’t become an A student. Still, he managed to pass most of his courses by being in class every day, turning in all of his assignments on time and breaking down his studying into bite-sized parts. By passing course after course, he began to gain a measure of self-esteem.
On his graduation day, he walked up to me, and said, “Thank you.”
24. What can we learn about the author according to the passage?
A. He wouldn’t have met Stephen without the introduction of Philip.
B. He told Stephen how to deal with his studies.
C. He helped Stephen get an A in his class.
D. He didn’t believe that Stephen could study in college.
25. What does the passage mainly tell us about Stephen?
A. He was an average student but hard-working.
B. He was an excellent student, but didn’t have self-esteem.
C. He was a little stupid and didn’t do well at school.
D. He was far from a top student because of his failure.
26. What lesson can we learn from the passage?
A. A good beginning is half done. B. One bite at a time.
C. Haste makes waste. D. Look before you leap.
27. According to Stephen’s questions to the author, what do we know about Stephen?
A. He wasn’t very confident about himself.
B. He didn’t want to attend the author’s class.
C. He had never been an A student.
D. He couldn’t pass the author’s exam.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. B 27. A
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者帮助一名叫做Stephen的学生处理他的学业，Stephen也脚踏实地一步步通过一门又一门的考试，获得了自信。
24. 细节理解题。根据第三段“I told him to do all of his assignments, and to hand them in on time. Rather than being overwhelmed (压倒) by all of the work, I told him the most successful students made a master calendar of all the assignments so they could plan their workload.(我告诉他要完成所有的作业，并按时交上来。我告诉他，最成功的学生不会被所有的作业压垮，而是把所有的作业都做了一个主日历，这样他们就可以计划自己的工作量)”可知，作者告诉Stephen如何应对他的学习。故选B。
25. 细节理解题。根据第四段“As the fall semester went on, I learned more of Stephen’s story. It had taken him longer to finish the assignments than most young people. Family members, including his mother, kept reminding him that he was a failure. But he kept at it and didn’t take them to heart. He told me that before coming to our college, no one believed he could manage it.(随着秋季学期的进行，我对斯蒂芬的故事了解得越来越多。他比大多数年轻人花了更长的时间来完成作业。家庭成员，包括他的母亲，不断提醒他，他是个失败者。但他坚持着，并没有把这些话放在心上。他告诉我，在来我们学院之前，没有人相信他能做到)”以及倒数第二段“Stephen didn’t become an A student.(斯蒂芬没有成为优等生)”可知，Stephen是一个资质一般的学生，但很努力。故选A。
26. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Still, he managed to pass most of his courses by being in class every day, turning in all of his assignments on time and breaking down his studying into bite-sized parts. By passing course after course, he began to gain a measure of self-esteem.(尽管如此，他还是通过了每天上课、按时交作业、把学习分成小块来完成大部分课程。通过一门又一门的考试，他开始获得了一定程度的自尊)”可知，文章主要告诉我们“要一步一步地，扎扎实实地”的道理。故选B。
27. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“By passing course after course, he began to gain a measure of self-esteem.(通过一门又一门的考试，他开始获得了一定程度的自尊)”可知，Stephen向作者提出的问题表明，Stephen对自己不是很自信。故选A。
C
Organic farming(有机耕作) is a farming method that uses the natural techniques to grow crops and raise farm animals. This approach avoids the use of synthetic(合成的) chemicals, pesticides, and fertilizers, and instead relies on natural methods to promote healthy soil and crop growth.
One of the key benefits of organic farming is its sustainability(可持续性). By avoiding the use of harmful substances, organic farmers are able to reduce their impact on the environment and protect the health of both the soil and local ecosystems. This also means that organic farming has a smaller carbon footprint than traditional farming methods, making it a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly option.
In addition to its environmental benefits, organic farming also has important health benefits. By avoiding the use of pesticides and fertilizers, organic farmers are able to produce crops that are free from harmful chemicals. This can lead to a healthier diet and reduced risk of exposure to harmful substances.
Moreover, organic farming can also have positive economic impacts. By supporting local farmers and promoting sustainable agriculture, organic farming can help to create more jobs and support local communities. Additionally, organic produce (农产品) is often sold at a higher price, which can provide financial benefits for farmers and help to promote sustainable agriculture as a good business model.
However, there are also challenges associated with organic farming. Because organic farming relies on natural methods to control pests and promote growth, it requires more workers and demand more time than traditional farming methods. Additionally, organic farming may not always be as productive or efficient as traditional farming methods, which can make it more difficult for farmers to meet demand.
Despite these challenges, many farmers and consumers are using organic farming as a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly way. As more people become aware of the environmental and health benefits of organic farming, it is likely that demand for organic produce will continue to grow. This, in turn, may help to promote the growth of sustainable agriculture and support the health of both people and the planet.
28. What do we know about organic farming?
A. It makes crops grow better. B. It produce lower quality crops.
C. It uses natural techniques in farming. D. It uses fertilizers to promote healthy soil.
29. How do the farmers reduce footprint through organic farming?
A. By avoiding the use of harmful substances.
B. By using more sustainable synthetic chemicals.
C. By increasing their impact on the environment.
D. By studying both the soil and local ecosystems.
30. Which of the following is the economic benefit brought to farmers by organic farming?
A. Healthier diet to farmers. B. High demand for traditional produce.
C. More job chances in other fields. D. Higher prices for organic produce.
31. What challenge does organic farming face?
A. It is impossible to control pests.
B. It needs more workers and time.
C. The farmland cannot meet farmers’ demand.
D. It has a negative impact on local ecosystems.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. B
【解析】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了有机农业的特点和优势。
28. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Organic farming(有机耕作) is a farming method that uses the natural techniques to grow crops and raise farm animals. (有机农业是一种利用自然技术种植农作物和饲养家畜的农业方法。)”可知，有机农业在农业中使用自然技术。故选C。
29. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“By avoiding the use of harmful substances, organic farmers are able to reduce their impact on the environment and protect the health of both the soil and local ecosystems. This also means that organic farming has a smaller carbon footprint than traditional farming methods, making it a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly option.(通过避免使用有害物质，有机农民能够减少对环境的影响，保护土壤和当地生态系统的健康。这也意味着有机农业的碳足迹比传统的农业方法要小，使之成为一种更可持续和环境友好的选择。)”可知，农民通过避免使用有害物质来减少有机耕作的足迹，故选A。
30. 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Additionally, organic produce (农产品) is often sold at a higher price, which can provide financial benefits for farmers and help to promote sustainable agriculture as a good business model.(此外，有机农产品往往以更高的价格出售，这可以为农民带来经济利益，并有助于促进可持续农业作为一种良好的商业模式。)”可知，有机农产品的高价是有机农业给农民带来的经济利益，故选D。
31. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“However, there are also challenges associated with organic farming. Because organic farming relies on natural methods to control pests and promote growth, it requires more workers and demand more time than traditional farming methods.(然而，有机农业也面临着挑战。因为有机农业依靠自然方法来控制害虫和促进生长，所以它比传统的农业方法需要更多的劳动力和更多的时间。)”可知，有机农业面临的挑战是，它需要更多的工人和时间。故选B。
D
In 2018, China became the largest producer and consumer of the fruit in the world. Ninety-two-year-old Wu Mingzhu, a native of Wuhan, is the unknown hero who has helped make this possible.
“About 80 percent of the watermelons and sweet-melons served at people’s dining tables every day are the result of painful efforts made by Wu and her team over more than 60 years,” said Zhang Wenjun, a colleague of Wu’s.
Helping others had long been a dream of hers. And she thought the most beautiful thing in life is that everything you create can serve the people, so she made efforts to grow quality melons, which began paying off in 1973. She is one of the 8, 000 agricultural scientists who have come to Hainan annually from across the country over the past 60 years and have cultivated more than 20, 000 of China’s new seed varieties through off-season breeding.
Using innovative measures such as radiation mutation breeding, double haploid breeding and distant hybridization breeding, Wu and her team developed new germ-plasm (种质) resources, from which they cultivated more than 30 watermelon and muskmelon (香瓜) varieties with better adaptability and stronger disease resistance, said Yi Hongping, former director of the Xinjiang Muskmelon Research Center.
The new melon varieties have been promoted to more than 1.86 million hectares of fields from north to south. Some of these varieties have been promoted overseas, as far as California. Wu’s work has left her a number of honors. The “queen of melons” became an academician with the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 1999 and an honorary citizen of Sanya in 2004.
32. Why did Wu Mingzhu mainly want to grow high-end melons?
A. Because she wanted to make China the largest producer of melons.
B. Because China is the largest consumer of melons in the world.
C. Because she wanted to create something that could serve people.
D. Because Chinese government asked her to grow high quality melons.
33. What can we learn about from Paragraph 4?
A. Wu and her team cultivated melon varieties that could resist every disease.
B. Wu and her team cultivated high quality melons from the new germ-plasm resources.
C. Wu and her team cultivated 30 watermelon varieties from radiation mutation breeding.
D. Wu and her team cultivated melon varieties that could adapt to any circumstance.
34. Which of the following about Wu Mingzhu is NOT true from the text?
A. She has cultivated more than 20, 000 of China’s new seed varieties.
B. She is committed to her work and makes remarkable achievements.
C. She helps make China the largest producer of fruit in the world in 2018.
D. She is awarded a number of honorary titles due to her contributions.
35. What is the text?
A. A diary entry. B. A book review.
C. A school notice. D. A news report.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D
【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了吴明珠院士在不同品种的瓜的培育工作中做出的贡献。
32. 细节理解题。根据第三段“And she thought the most beautiful thing in life is that everything you create can serve the people, so she made efforts to grow quality melons, which began paying off in 1973. (她认为生活中最美好的事情是你创造的一切都能为人民服务，所以她努力种植优质的瓜，并于1973年开始获得回报)”可知，吴明珠院士培育高端的瓜是因为她想创造出一些能为人民服务的东西。故选C。
33. 细节理解题。根据第四段“Wu and her team developed new germ-plasm (种质) resources , from which they cultivated more than 30 watermelon and muskmelon (香瓜) varieties with better adaptability and stronger disease resistance (吴和她的团队开发了新的种质资源，从中培育了30多个适应性更好、抗病性更强的西瓜和香瓜品种)”可知，吴明珠院士和她的团队成员利用新的种质资源，培育出高质量的甜瓜。故选B。
34. 细节理解题。 根据第三段“She is one of the 8, 000 agricultural scientists who have come to Hainan annually from across the country over the past 60 years and have cultivated more than 20, 000 of China’s new seed varieties through off-season breeding. (她是过去60年来每年从全国各地来到海南的8000名农业科学家之一，通过淡季育种培育了两万多个中国新型种子品种)”可知，超过两万个种新型种子是由8000名农业科学家培育出来的，A项“She has cultivated more than 20 ,000 of China’s new seed varieties. (她培育了2万多个中国新种子品种)”表述错误。故选A。
35. 推理判断题。根据第一段“In 2018, China became the largest producer and consumer of the fruit in the world. Ninety-two-year-old Wu Mingzhu, a native of Wuhan, is the unknown hero who has helped make this possible. (2018年，中国成为世界上最大的水果生产国和消费国。92岁的吴明珠，武汉本地人，是帮助实现这一目标的默默无闻的英雄)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了吴明珠院士在不同品种的瓜的培育工作中做出的贡献，及其取得的成就，推测文章是一篇介绍名人事迹的新闻报道。故选D。
第二节　(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In many parts of the world, spring is in full bloom. Flowers of all colors and shapes make our world look and smell better. So it is no surprise that people love flowers.
Well, except for one. Dandelions (蒲公英)! In the USA, dandelions are considered “weeds”. People try their best to kill all of them with chemical products or dig them out at the roots. Dandelions are hard to kill. 36
Dandelions are actually one of the most nutritious foods. They are a great source of vitamin K, vitamin E, vitamin A and vitamin C. Also, they provide people with lots of iron, calcium and potassium (钾). 37 From the bottom of the roots to the top of the flower, nothing goes to waste.
Dandelions are said to provide several possible health benefits such as reducing inflammation (炎症) and improving some skin conditions. 38 The root of the dandelion is rich in fiber, which could support the balance of bacteria in your digestive system.
39 They are drought⁃resistant flowers and can grow in environments too dry or difficult for most other crops. Their roots spread easily, as do their white, soft, seed⁃filled tops.
Dandelions are fun for kids. 40 Pick the white top, make a wish, close your eyes and blow. Then perhaps your wish will come true. Even if the wish does not come true, at least the seeds have traveled far and wide, letting more of this nutritious food source continue to grow.
A. They may also be helpful to the digestion.
B. Another great thing is that you can eat every part of the dandelions.
C. People eat “leafy greens” or add more “color” to their diet.
D. That is a good thing because dandelions are packed with goodness!
E. They make our world look and smell better.
F. Dandelions are an easy⁃to⁃grow food source.
G. There is a game played by children all over the world.
【答案】36. D 37. B 38. A 39. F 40. G

67. 阅读下面材料， 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段， 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In 1989, fresh out of high school, I was faced with a difficult choice of a career path before college started in three months. In those days in Pakistan, there were limited choices: becoming a doctor or an engineer, or entering the financial world after getting a business degree. I wasn’t interested in engineering, so that I was left with medicine or business. I couldn’t decide.
My uncle suggested that I do a work placement to experience it for a month in an international company followed by a month in a hospital. After that, I could make a decision. It seemed like a good idea.
I was accepted for a month’s placement at a foreign bank in Karachi. I got a feel for how the world of finance worked, made new friends, and generally enjoyed the mostly easy-going work environment.
The month passed rapidly, and soon I began working at a leading hospital in Karachi. The experience was quite different. The hospital days started early (at 7 a. m. , compared with 9 a. m. at the bank), and were filled with endless duties. And the night calls! This was crazy, working all day, through the night, and again in the next day.
I began thinking about my two experiences. The bank had offered a more relaxing atmosphere, better working hours and less stress. The hospital had an intense environment, and the studying and training was difficult. It seemed that business was a better choice.
Near the end of my month at the hospital, I was driving home after a very busy night call. In front of me was a public bus, with some boys sitting on the top. As the driver weaved through traffic, I could see the boys shaking from side to side.
注意：
1. 续写的词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Suddenly, a boy fell off the back of the bus.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next day, when I went to hospital to see the boy, all his family got up, with grateful smiles on their faces.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Suddenly,_a boy fell off the back of the bus. He hit the road face down and roller over. He lay motionless in the middle of the road as the bus drove away quickly. The cars directly behind the bus braked to avoid the boy, but none stopped. I knew that if the boy was bleeding into his brain, he could die soon. I stopped my car. I lifted his unconscious body into my car with the help of some passers by, and then raced back to the hospital. Since I wasn't allowed into the operation room, I drove home.
The next day, when I went to hospital to see the boy,_all his family got up,_with grateful smiles on their faces. The mother held my hands and started weeping. "Son, you are an angel," she repeated over and over again. After comforting her, I went over to the boy. He managed to smile and squeezed my hand. No words were spoken between us —none were needed. I spent the rest of the day in a state of excitement, the most fabulous mood I had ever experienced. I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.【解析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在毕业后，在叔叔的帮助下分别体验了银行和医院的工作。作者认为银行的工作相对轻松，而医院的工作繁忙且不可预知，因此，他在这两个工作中摇摆不定。有一天，他在一场交通事故中救助了一个受伤的男孩并及时将他送进了医院。在他第二天去看望男孩的时候，男孩的家人非常感激。最后，他明白了自己之后的工作方向。
