第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分 35 分）

第一节（共 10 个小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 25 分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

The legislature (立法机构) finds that the cigarette is considered one of the deadliest products in human history. So begins a new bill introduced in Hawaii’s State House, calling for a ban on cigarette sales in the state by 2024.

Hawaii has some of the most restrictive cigarette laws in the nation. In 2016, it became the first state to raise the age to buy cigarettes to 21. Now, its new bill calls for raising the cigarette-buying age to 30  by 2020, up to 40, 50 and 60 in each following year, and up to 100 by 2024. That would effectively clear Hawaii’s store shelves of cigarettes, although tourist could still bring them in. The age limits would not apply to e-cigarettes, cigars or chewingtobacco.

And curiously, Hawaii would offer its centenarians (百岁老人) the chance to buy cigarettes near the end of their life --- if they could find them.

Richard Creagan, the bill’s sponsor, said that he hoped the bill could represent an “endgame” for the cigarette problem, and that it might be easier to pass the bill in Hawaii than in a mainland state.

“On the mainland they have more trouble with this because they have states around them that are selling cigarettes,” he said. “We don’t have any states around us. And that’s why I thought it could be done here, and it would be kind of an example for the rest of the nation and the world.”

Creagan told the Hawaii Tribune-Herald he’s confident that the bill will survive any court challenges.

In 2015, the National Academy of Sciences released a report arguing that increasing the age to buy tobacco to 21 would have a “considerable impact” on the age at which someone takes their first puff.The report also suggested “if someone is not a regular tobacco user by age 25, it is highly unlikely he or she will become one.”

21. What can we know about Hawaii from Paragraph2?
    1. Hawaii has no cigarette laws atpresent.
    2. The cigarette-buying age will be 50 in2023.
    3. People under age 21 are prohibited to buycigarettes.
    4. All cigarette stores in the state have beenclosed.
22. The underlined words in the last paragraphmean “         ”.
    1. buys their first pack ofcigarettes
    2. smokes their firstcigarette
    3. quits smoking for the firsttime
    4. first offers cigarettes toothers
23. What is the main idea of thetext?
    1. Hawaii is considering a bill to ban cigarettesales.
    2. Hawaii will lower the cigarette-buyingage.
    3. Hawaii is to ban smoking in its neighboringstates.
    4. Hawaii has released a report on the harm ofsmoking.

Stanford University has begun an investigation following claims that some of its staff knew long ago of Chinese scientist He Jiankui’s plans to create the world’s first gene-edited babies.

A university official said a review was under way of interactions some faculty members had with He, who was educated at Stanford. Several professors including He’s former research adviser have said that they knew or strongly suspected that He wanted to try gene editing on embryos (胚胎).

The Chinese genetic scientist posted a video on YouTube in November 2018. He claimed in the

video that he had used a gene-editing tool Crispr-Cas9 to modify (修改) a particular gene in two embryos before they were placed in their mother’s womb (子宫). He, who works in a lab in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, said the twin girls, known as Lulu and Nana, were born using an egg that was modified. He focused on HIV infection prevention because the father is HIV positive. “Now the father has a reason to live, a reason to work, he has a purpose,” He said.

Editing the genes of embryos, which can change other genes, is banned in many countries because DNA changes are passed to future generations and could have unforeseen effects on the entire gene pool.

China’s national health commission ordered officials to “seriously investigate” He’s claims. Shenzhen’s health and family planning commission said it was investigating the review process around He’s work.

Research institutions connected to He have distanced themselves from him. “This research work was carried out by Professor He Jiankui outside of the school,” said the Southern University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen. It called his research a “serious violation of academic ethics (道德)”.

24. What did He Jiankui claim in the video posted onYouTube?
    1. He was wrong in trying gene editing onembryos.
    2. He prevented the twins from developingcancer.
    3. He modified a gene in Lulu and Nana’sembryos.
    4. He was influenced by his research adviser inStanford.
25. Why is gene editing of embryos banned in manycountries?
    1. The effect on the whole gene pool isunpredictable.
    2. It causes disabilities to the gene-editedbabies.
    3. The future generations will rely on geneediting.
    4. It will affect all the healthy genes of theembryos.
26. How did the university in Shenzhen react to He’s videoclaim?
    1. It ordered investigations to beconducted.
    2. It called the incident a big shame for thenation.
    3. It declared not related to He’sresearch.
    4. It kept a distance from themedia.
27. Which can be a suitable title for thetext?
    1. The USA BansGene-editing
    2. What are the Ethics of MedicalTreatment?
    3. Scientists Find the Idea of Gene-edited Babies Crazy
    4. Stanford Investigates Links to Scientist in GeneEditing.

C

Closeness and independence are both important in our life. Though all humans need both of them, women tend to focus on the first and men on the second. It is as if their lifeblood ran in different directions.

These differences can give women and men differing views of the same situation, as they did in the case of couple I will call Tracy and Brian. When Brian’s old high school friend called him at work and announced he’d be in town on business the following month, Brian invited him to stay for the weekend. That evening he informed Tracy that they were going to have a houseguest, and that he and his friend would go out together the first night to chat like old times. Tracy was upset. She was going to be away on business the week before, and the Friday night when Brian would be out with his friend would be her first night home. But what upset her the most was that Brian had made these plans on his own and informed her of them, rather than discussing them with her before extending the invitation.

Tracy would never make plans, for a weekend or an evening, without first checking with Brian. She can’t understand why he doesn’t show her the same courtesy and consideration that she shows him. But when she protests, Brian says, “I can’t say to my friend, ‘I have to ask my wife forpermission’!”

To Brian, checking with his wife means seeking permission, which implies that he is not independent, not free to act on his own. To Tracy, checking with her husband makes her feel good to know and show that she is involved with someone, that her life is bound up with someoneelse’s.

Tracy and Brian both felt upset by this incident because it cut to the core of their primary concerns. Tracy was hurt because she sensed a failure of closeness in their relationship: He didn’t care about her as much as she cared about him. And he was hurt because he felt she was trying to control him and limit his freedom.

28. What is the primary purpose of the author in writing thispassage?
    1. To educate the reader on how to maintain good family relationships.
    2. To tell the reader how to make close connections with otherpeople.
    3. To suggest the best way of coping with familyconflicts.
    4. To explain the difference in communication styles between men andwomen.
29. What would Tracy most probably do if she plans to buy somethingexpensive?
    1. She would discuss withBrian.
    2. She would simply decide on herown.
    3. She would ask her friends foradvice.
    4. She would buy Brian something expensivefirst.
30. According to the passage, compared with men, womentendto         .
    1. negotiate before the finaldecision
    2. get hurt easily in socialcommunications
    3. emphasize more oncontrolling
    4. emphasize more onindependence

Any car accident is frightening, but an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water, with you trapped inside, is absolutely terrifying.31However,  most deaths result from panic, without a   plan or understanding what is happening to the car in the water. By adopting a brace ( 支 撑 ) position, acting decisively and getting out fast, you can save yourself from a sinkingvehicle.

Brace yourself for impact ( 撞击力). As soon as you are aware that you are going off the road and into a body of water, adopt a brace position. The impact could set off the airbag system in your vehicle,so you should place both hands on the steering wheel in the “ten and two” position.

Undo your seatbelt.32Unbuckle the children, starting with the oldest first. Forget the cell   phone call. Your car isn’t going to wait for you to make thecall.

33Leave the door alone at this stage and concentrate on the window. A car’s electrical system should work for up to three minutes in water, so try the method of opening it electronically first. Many people don’t think about the window as an escape option either because of panic or misinformation about doors and sinking.

Break the window. If you aren’t able to open the window, or it only opens halfway, you’ll need to break it with an object or your foot. It may feel counterintuitive( 有 悖 常 理 的 ) to let water into the car.34

Escape when the car has equalized. If it has reached the dramatic stage where the car cabin has been filled with water and it has become balanced, you must move quickly and effectively to ensure your survival. 35              While there is still air in the car, take slow, deep breaths and focus on what you’re doing.

1. Open the window as soon as you hit thewater.
2. Surviving a sinking car is not as difficult as youthink.
3. It takes 60 to 120 seconds for a car to fill up with waterusually.
4. Such accidents are particularly dangerous to the risk ofdrowning.
5. In conclusion, if you know what to do in the water, you will besafe.
6. This is the first thing to attend to, yet it often gets forgotten in thepanic.
7. But the sooner the window is open, the sooner you can escape directly throughit.

Getting around the city when you are six months pregnant and have  a two-year-old girl can be really challenging. One spring afternoon, we went to one of the grocery  56    (store) nearby to buy some   food for dinner. There was no sign of rain, and the store was just around the corner,  57  we went   there without an umbrella. However, we were about 58   (leave) the store when the rain came in full force.

Scientists in London say they have found the best diet for both humans and  the planet.  If  the  world followed the so-called "planetary health" diet, the scientists told Reuters that each year more than 11 million early deaths could be prevented. Scientists say that the way we produce and eat food is very bad for the planet. For the health of the planet, they claim the same diet would reduce greenhouse gases and save more land, water andanimals.

Tim Lang, a professor at Britain's University of London, co-led the research. He told Reuters, The food we eat and how we produce it determines the health of people and the planet, and we are currently getting this seriously wrong. "Lang added that the world's population is expected to grow to 10 billion people by 2050. If we want to feed everyone, he explained, we all need to change what we eat and the way we eat by "improving food production and reducing food waste."

Well, what do you eat on the planetary health diet? The scientists who created this diet say it is largely plant-based but still has small amounts of dairy, fish and meat. The diet calls for cutting red meat and sugar by 50 percent and doubling the amount of nuts, fruits, vegetables and legumes.

Food situations around the world are not equal. In certain areas, this would mean great changes. People in North America, for example, eat 6.5 times the recommended amount of red meat. On the other hand, people in South Asia eat only half the amount suggested by the new planetary health diet. Meeting the targets for vegetables would need big changes in other areas. In sub-Saharan Africa, people on average eat 7.5 times the suggested amount of vegetables like potatoes andcassava.

The scientists admit their goal will be difficult to achieve. But for them doing nothing is also not an option. Willet said, " If we can't quite make it, it's better to try and get as close as we can."

概要

One possible version:

Scientists claim they have obtained the best diet benefiting both humans and the planet. Tim Lang, the leader of the research, emphasized the significance of changing the food and the way we eat. In other words, it is more scientific for diet to be more based on plants than animals. However, the food condition is not globally balanced. Tough as the target is to realize, it is worth trying.
