Downey's mother spent one year studying abroad through an international exchange program with a French school. She often talked about how exciting and interesting the experience was. So, even before finishing high school, Downey had decided to follow suit one day.
Downey began studying architecture at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 2004. Near the end of her second year, she started to feel unhappy with her school and decided it was time to study abroad.
U. S. colleges and universities commonly have joint programs with foreign schools that permit student exchanges. These programs usually last half a school year or sometimes a whole school year. The classes students take abroad usually give them credits toward their degree. In a four year degree program, the third year is the most common time for American college students to study abroad. Many students think they need a change before what is usually their final and most difficult year of study.
Downey said her school did not want her to go at first. The architecture program at Lehigh was very intense, and her professors were worried she might miss learning important material. However, she was eventually able to get special permission to study internationally for a whole year. During the fall term in 2006, she attended a Danish international school in Copenhagen, Denmark, explaining she did so because Danish architects are well known for their housing design.
Young adult as she was, she had to deal with travel documents and many other issues (问题) on her own. Overcoming the language barrier is the biggest challenge of studying abroad. However, she had a lot of emotional (情感的) and financial support from her family. She learned life lessons and made friendships and memories that have lasted to this day. She said, “The more you're out of your comfort zone, the more rewarding the experience is in the end.”
1. What does Downey's mother mean to Downey
A. A friend. B. A dreamer.
C. An example. D. An expert.
2. What made Downey choose the Danish international school
A. The famous learned professors.
B. The casual learning environment.
C. The impressive academic reputation.
D. The favorable geographical location.
3. What can we infer according to the last paragraph
A. It was not easy for Downey to study abroad.
B. The comfortable life is likely to ruin the future life.
C. Downey was too young to take care of herself.
D. Downey's parents could hardly afford her education.
【答案】1. C 2. C 3. A

推理判断题。根据第一段“Downey's mother spent one year studying abroad through an international exchange program with a French school. She often talked about how exciting and interesting the experience was. So, even before finishing high school, Downey had decided to follow suit one day.”可知，唐尼的妈妈曾参加过一个法国学校的国际交流项目，在国外学习了一年，她经常谈论那次经历是多么令人兴奋和有趣，所以甚至在高中毕业之前，唐尼就已经决定有一天也要像妈妈一样出国留学，由此可知，唐尼的妈妈在她眼中是个优秀的榜样，故C项正确。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“During the fall term in 2006, she attended a Danish international school in Copenhagen, Denmark, explaining she did so because Danish architects are well known for their housing design.”可知，2006年秋季学期，唐尼就读于丹麦哥本哈根的一所丹麦国际学校，她解释说她这样做是因为丹麦建筑师以房屋设计而闻名，故C项正确。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“she had to deal with travel documents and many other issues (问题) on her own. Overcoming the language barrier is the biggest challenge of studying abroad.”及“you're out of your comfort zone”可知，唐尼在国外不得不独自处理包括旅行证件在内的许多问题，还要克服出国留学的最大挑战——语言障碍，还要走出自己的舒适区，也就是说唐尼的留学生活并不容易，故A项正确。
B
Huge areas of the Amazon, which serves as the lungs of the planet by taking in carbon dioxide and producing oxygen, are burning. Smoke from the widespread fires have turned day into night in Sao Paulo. The fires have covered the Brazilian city of San Paulo in dark smoke, and raising concerns that the rainforest, which is one of the most biologically diverse regions on earth.
The recent Amazon fires have been widespread and some happened rather suddenly. Farmers cleared land for agriculture and also burned areas of rainforest for further development. Cleared rainforests in this region are typically used for cattle farming and growing soybeans, and much of the land-clearing is done illegally. One contributing factor to the fires in the Amazon is the fact that it is the dry season there, the time of year when wildfires tend to break out from human activities, either intentionally or by accident.
The Amazon, which spans 2.12 million square miles, sucks up about a quarter of the 2.4 billion metric 57 tons of carbon that global forests absorb each year. However, the ability of the rainforest to pull in more carbon than it releases is diminishing weakened by changing weather patterns, deforestation and increasing tree mortality（死亡率）, among other factors.
According to the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service, the fires have led to a clear increase in carbon monoxide- emissions as well as planet-warming carbon dioxide emissions, posing a threat to human health and aggravating global warming.
If the Amazon were to turn into a consistent net source of carbon emissions, it would accelerate global warming while also leading to a huge loss in species that are not found anywhere else on earth.
4. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The introduction of the Amazon fires B. The seriousness of the Amazon fires
C. The likely causes of the Amazon fires D. The influence of the Amazon fires
5. What does the underlined word "diminishing" in paragraph 3 mean
A. lowering B. decreasing C. increasing D. enlarging
6. Which of the following is not mentioned as a result of the Amazon fires
A. human health B. global warming C. deforestation D. species loss
7. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. Amazon: Where have all the trees gone
B. Cutting trees should be prohibited in Amazon
C. Why are trees so important in Amazon
D. Amazon fires could accelerate global warming and causing lasting harm to us
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。介绍了亚马逊地区作为地球之肺的重要意义，造成亚马逊大火的几个可能因素以及对全球和人类造成的危害。
【4题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Farmers cleared land for agriculture and also burned areas of rainforest for further development. （农民为了农业生产，会清理土地，为了长远发展也会焚烧雨林。）One contributing factor to the fires in the Amazon is the fact that it is the dry season there,…（亚马逊大火的一个促成因素就是那儿正值干季。）”可知，第二段主要是列举了造成亚马逊大火的几个可能因素。故选C。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中“However, the ability of the rainforest to pull in more carbon than it releases is diminishing weakened by changing weather patterns, deforestation and increasing tree mortality（死亡率）, among other factors.（但是，雨林的吸碳能力相较于排碳能力，正在下降，它的能力的削弱是由不断变化的天气模式、森林采伐、不断上升的树木死亡率以及其他因素造成的。）”可知，由于这些因素导致雨林的能力削弱，所以它的吸碳能力相较于排碳能力，是下降的。decrease意为“减少，降低”。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“…posing a threat to human health and aggravating global warming.（给人类健康造成了威胁，也加重了全球变暖。）”以及第五段中“ it would accelerate global warming while also leading to a huge loss in species that are not found anywhere else on earth.（会加速全球变暖，同时也会导致那些在地球上并不是随处可见的物种大量缺失。）”可知，亚马逊大火对人类健康、全球变暖以及物种减少都造成了影响，但是文中并没有提及对采伐森林的影响，且根据第三段中“the ability of the rainforest to pull in more carbon than it releases is diminishing weakened by changing weather patterns, deforestation and increasing tree mortality, among other factors.”可知，采伐森林是造成亚马逊大火的可能因素之一，并不是大火产生的结果和影响。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“If the Amazon were to turn into a consistent net source of carbon emissions, it would accelerate global warming while also leading to a huge loss in species that are not found anywhere else on earth.（如果亚马逊成为碳排放的一个持续的净源，它将加速全球变暖，同时也会导致那些在地球上并不是随处可见的物种大量缺失。）”可知，文章介绍了造成亚马逊大火的几项可能因素以及带来的危害和影响，都是为了说明亚马逊大火可能会加速全球变暖且对人类造成持久的危害这一主旨。故选D。
C
Scientists have found amounts of water molecules inside rocks and soil samples from Mars before. But an ancient meteorite (陨石) found recently contains 10 times more water and much more oxygen than any Martian I meteorite ever before discovered.
What’s so wild about this wet discovery It could mean that the Red Planet once had enough water to have liquid flowing on the planet’s surface.
It was once believed that if Mars ever had water at all, its water would have been small amounts of ice below the surface or existing in the soil only as hydrogen and oxygen---the elements that make up water. But recent discoveries have shown that Mars probably had a much wetter history than formerly thought.
The meteorite, nicknamed Black Beauty, was found in Africa’s Sahara Desert in 2011. Only about 110 meteorites from Mars have ever been found. Scientists believe most Martian meteorites arrived on our planet during one large asteroid crash (小行星碰撞) that sent rocks falling toward Earth long ago.
Black Beauty is about 2.1 billion years old. Its discovery is the first time scientists have been able to study such an ancient Martian rock. It’s also one of the first times scientists have been able to study a piece of the panel’s ancient surface.
The sample’s water molecules were sent out when scientists heated the meteorite to analyze it. Scientists think the meteorite’s hydrogen and oxygen molecules are so plentiful because water flowing on Mars at the time this meteorite fell to Earth, or because these molecules were once sealed in large quantities in Mars’s crust.
Black Beauty might do more than just unlock secrets from the Red Planet’s past. These discoveries could also help scientists understand new data about Mars that’s being sent from the robotic rovers currently gathering information on the planet.
8. People used to think that .
A. there was little water on Mars B. Mars had a lot of flowing water
C. a large quantity of ice was Mars D. Mars was much wetter than Earth
9. What do we know about Black Beauty
A. It was discovered in Seattle in the USA. B. It is the biggest of 110 meteorites from Mars.
C. It landed on Earth after an asteroid crash. D. It has a history of 2.1 million years.
10. How did the scientists research Black Beauty
A By cutting it into pieces. B. By dipping it into water.
C. By burning it on a fire. D. By burying it into a desert.
11. The passage is mainly about .
A. a rock from the center of Mars. B. a major Martian meteorite discovery
C. a new discovery on the Red Planet D. a number of meteorites from Red Plane
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章通过研究一个火星陨石得到的新发现——火星上含有大量的水。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“It was once believed that if Mars ever had water at all, its water would have been small amounts of ice below the surface or existing in the soil only as hydrogen and oxygen（曾经有人认为，如果火星上有水的话，它的水可能是地表下的少量冰，或者只以氢和氧的形式存在于土壤中）”可知，人们以前认为火星上几乎没有水，可能会有少量的冰。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“Scientists believe most Martian meteorites arrived on our planet during one large asteroid crash (小行星碰撞) that sent rocks falling toward Earth long ago.（科学家们相信，大多数火星陨石是在很久以前的一次小行星撞击中到达地球的，那次撞击导致岩石坠落到地球上）”可知，Black Beauty是小行星碰撞后落到地球上的，故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“The sample’s water molecules were sent out when scientists heated the meteorite to analyze it.（当科学家加热陨石进行分析时，样品中的水分子被释放出来）”可知，科学家们通过加热Black Beauty来研究它里面的水，故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第一段的“Scientists have found amounts of water molecules inside rocks and soil samples from Mars before. But an ancient meteorite (陨石) found recently contains 10 times more water and much more oxygen than any Martian I meteorite ever before discovered.（科学家以前在火星的岩石和土壤样本中发现了大量的水分子。但是最近发现的一颗古代陨石所含的水和氧气是以往发现的任何火星一号陨石的10倍）”可知，文章主要介绍研究一个火星陨石得到的新发现——火星上含有大量的水。故选B。

For decades, China had wanted a Nobel Prize in science. Tu Youyou, a researcher who helped to develop a malaria（疟疾）medicine, finally won the country that honor.
In fact, Tu is not the only scientist in China who is catching the world’s attention. In 2016, the Nature journal published a list of the top 10 science stars in China. Gao Caixia and Cui Weicheng are two of them.
Gao Caixia has been devoted to genetic engineering for her whole career. She is known for using CRISPR-Cas9, the revolutionary gene-editing technique that is sweeping through biology labs around the world – in crops.
At first, Gao was unwilling to take up gene editing using CRISPR-Cas9 because her lab at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology in Beijing had already created mutations（变异）in 82 genes using an older type of technology. But after thinking carefully about it, she decided to give it a try.
After a year of hard work, her lab finally succeeded. Gao worked on genetic engineering in wheat, a crop that is famous for being difficult to work with. Now she is considered one of the best in the world at engineering wheat.
Cui Weicheng is the developer of China’s record-setting Jiaolong submersibl（e 潜水器）. He is now a professor at Westlake University. In 2012, Cui rode inside China’s Jiaolong submersible and reached a depth of more than 7,000 meters in the Pacific.
Thanks to Jiaolong and the 57-year-old developer, China is now one of only a few nations that can explore the deep sea. Jiaolong can travel deeper than any other manned research submersible currently in use, which shows China’s increasing ambition and leadership in deep-sea research.
12. Why is Tu Youyou mentioned at the beginning of the passage
A. To show one of China’s long-held dreams.
B. To stress the importance of the Nobel Prize.
C. To praise Tu Youyou for her contributions.
D. To introduce more top Chinese scientists.
13. Why did Gao Caixia work on wheat
A. Because she failed in her attempt to study other crops.
B. Because she was expert at wheat engineering.
C. Because wheat is hard to be genetically engineered.
D. Because wheat is the most widely planted crop in China.
14. What is Cui Weicheng’s biggest contribution to China
A. He teaches about sea at a university.
B. He developed Jiaolong submersible.
C. He is devoted to genetic engineering.
D. He reached the bottom of the ocean.
15. What is the best title for the passage
A. China’s Science Stars B. China’s Nobel Prize Dream
C. Gao Caixia－China’s Crop Engineer D. Cui Weicheng－China’s Deep Diver
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A

【12题详解】
细节理解题。由文章的第二段 ”In fact, Tu is not the only scientist in China who is catching the world’s attention. In 2016, the Nature journal published a list of the top 10 science stars in China. Gao Caixia and Cui Weicheng are two of them.”可知后文主要讲的是中国科学家高彩霞和崔伟的主要贡献。故D项：介绍更多中国顶尖科学家，为正确答案。A项：展示中国长期以来的一个梦想；B项：强调诺贝尔奖的重要性；C项：表扬屠呦呦的贡献；均不合题意。故答案为D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。本题题干意为：为什么高彩霞致力于小麦的研究 由文章第三段“At first, Gao was unwilling to take up gene editing using CRISPR-Cas9 because her lab at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology in Beijing had already created mutations（变异）in 82 genes using an older type of technology. But after thinking carefully about it, she decided to give it a try.”可知起初,高不愿意采用基因编辑使用CRISPR-Cas9因为她所在实验室--中国科学院的研究所的遗传学和发育生物学已经在在82个基因中使用一个旧的技术创建突变(变异)。但仔细考虑之后，她决定试一试。故C项：因为小麦很难被基因改造，为正确选项。A项：因为她在研究其他作物的尝试中失败了。B项：因为她是小麦工程方面的专家。D项：因为小麦是中国种植最广泛的作物。均不合题意。故答案为C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。本题题干为：崔伟成对中国最大的贡献是什么 根据文章根据第六段Cui Weicheng is the developer of China’s record-setting Jiaolong submersible（潜水器）以及最后一段崔伟成的发明对中国的影响来看，B项：他研制了蛟龙潜水器为正确答案，A项：他在一所大学教海洋。C项：格瓦拉致力于基因工程。D项：他到达了海底。均不合题意。故答案为B。
【15题详解】
考查主旨大意。本题题干意为：文章最好的标题是什么？本文讲述了中国高彩霞和崔伟两位科学家及其成就。故A项：中国的科学明星为正确答案； B项：中国的诺贝尔奖梦（主题扩大）；C项：高彩霞——中国的农作物工程师 （以偏概全）；D项：崔伟成——中国的深水潜水员（以偏概全）。故答案为A。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了西雅图被称为“翡翠城”的由来。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意：毕竟，西雅图并不是以绿宝石闻名的。be famous for“因……而出名”符合句意。故填for。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：西雅图被称为“翡翠城”，因为这座城市和它的周围一年四季都是绿色的，即使在冬天也是如此，因为该地区所有的常青树。根据“are”可知，空处填名词复数做主语。故填surroundings。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：从南方开车到西雅图，你会看到许多常青树。分析句子可知，空处填非谓语动词，you与drive在逻辑上是主动关系，所以用现在分词作状语，置于句首，首字母大写。故填Driving。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：即使在城市的中心，也不缺少绿色植物，甚至是茂密的森林。in the heart of“在……中心”为固定短语，the表示特指。故填the。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意：即使在城市的中心，也不缺少绿色植物，甚至是茂密的森林。本句为there be句型，为倒装句，空处作主语，故填shortage。故填shortage。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：然而，令人惊讶的是，夏天通常是一年中绿色最少的时间。根据句意可知，空处表示“然而”，填however，置于句首，首字母大写。故填However。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：事实上，有些年份几乎没有水分，而且常常看到草坪一次干枯几个月，变成棕色，因为城市里到处都是环保意识强的人，他们选择棕色的草坪而不是浇水。根据“In fact, some years get little moisture(降雨量)”可知，空处填uncommon作表语。故填uncommon。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：事实上，有些年份几乎没有水分，而且常常看到草坪一次干枯几个月，变成棕色，因为城市里到处都是环保意识强的人，他们选择棕色的草坪而不是浇水。副词environmentally修饰形容词conscious。 故填environmentally。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：据HistoryLink.org网站介绍，这个名字来源于1981年由会议与游客局举办的一场比赛。a contest为先行词，作非限制性定语从句的主语，关系代词为which。 故填which。
【45题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：1982年，“翡翠城”这个名字从参赛作品中被选为西雅图的新昵称。根据“In 1982”可知，本句为一般过去时，主语the name Emerald City与谓语select为被动关系，所以本句为一般过去时的被动语态。 故填was selected。

Downey's mother spent one year studying abroad through an international exchange program with a French school. She often talked about how exciting and interesting the experience was. So, even before finishing high school, Downey had decided to follow suit one day.
Downey began studying architecture at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 2004. Near the end of her second year, she started to feel unhappy with her school and decided it was time to study abroad.
U. S. colleges and universities commonly have joint programs with foreign schools that permit student exchanges. These programs usually last half a school year or sometimes a whole school year. The classes students take abroad usually give them credits toward their degree. In a four year degree program, the third year is the most common time for American college students to study abroad. Many students think they need a change before what is usually their final and most difficult year of study.
Downey said her school did not want her to go at first. The architecture program at Lehigh was very intense, and her professors were worried she might miss learning important material. However, she was eventually able to get special permission to study internationally for a whole year. During the fall term in 2006, she attended a Danish international school in Copenhagen, Denmark, explaining she did so because Danish architects are well known for their housing design.
Young adult as she was, she had to deal with travel documents and many other issues (问题) on her own. Overcoming the language barrier is the biggest challenge of studying abroad. However, she had a lot of emotional (情感的) and financial support from her family. She learned life lessons and made friendships and memories that have lasted to this day. She said, “The more you're out of your comfort zone, the more rewarding the experience is in the end.”
1. What does Downey's mother mean to Downey
A. A friend. B. A dreamer.
C. An example. D. An expert.
2. What made Downey choose the Danish international school
A. The famous learned professors.
B. The casual learning environment.
C. The impressive academic reputation.
D. The favorable geographical location.
3. What can we infer according to the last paragraph
A. It was not easy for Downey to study abroad.
B. The comfortable life is likely to ruin the future life.
C. Downey was too young to take care of herself.
D. Downey's parents could hardly afford her education.
B
Huge areas of the Amazon, which serves as the lungs of the planet by taking in carbon dioxide and producing oxygen, are burning. Smoke from the widespread fires have turned day into night in Sao Paulo. The fires have covered the Brazilian city of San Paulo in dark smoke, and raising concerns that the rainforest, which is one of the most biologically diverse regions on earth.
The recent Amazon fires have been widespread and some happened rather suddenly. Farmers cleared land for agriculture and also burned areas of rainforest for further development. Cleared rainforests in this region are typically used for cattle farming and growing soybeans, and much of the land-clearing is done illegally. One contributing factor to the fires in the Amazon is the fact that it is the dry season there, the time of year when wildfires tend to break out from human activities, either intentionally or by accident.
The Amazon, which spans 2.12 million square miles, sucks up about a quarter of the 2.4 billion metric 57 tons of carbon that global forests absorb each year. However, the ability of the rainforest to pull in more carbon than it releases is diminishing weakened by changing weather patterns, deforestation and increasing tree mortality（死亡率）, among other factors.
According to the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service, the fires have led to a clear increase in carbon monoxide- emissions as well as planet-warming carbon dioxide emissions, posing a threat to human health and aggravating global warming.
If the Amazon were to turn into a consistent net source of carbon emissions, it would accelerate global warming while also leading to a huge loss in species that are not found anywhere else on earth.
4. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The introduction of the Amazon fires B. The seriousness of the Amazon fires
C. The likely causes of the Amazon fires D. The influence of the Amazon fires
5. What does the underlined word "diminishing" in paragraph 3 mean
A. lowering B. decreasing C. increasing D. enlarging
6. Which of the following is not mentioned as a result of the Amazon fires
A. human health B. global warming C. deforestation D. species loss
7. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. Amazon: Where have all the trees gone
B. Cutting trees should be prohibited in Amazon
C. Why are trees so important in Amazon
D. Amazon fires could accelerate global warming and causing lasting harm to us
C
Scientists have found amounts of water molecules inside rocks and soil samples from Mars before. But an ancient meteorite (陨石) found recently contains 10 times more water and much more oxygen than any Martian I meteorite ever before discovered.
What’s so wild about this wet discovery It could mean that the Red Planet once had enough water to have liquid flowing on the planet’s surface.
It was once believed that if Mars ever had water at all, its water would have been small amounts of ice below the surface or existing in the soil only as hydrogen and oxygen---the elements that make up water. But recent discoveries have shown that Mars probably had a much wetter history than formerly thought.
The meteorite, nicknamed Black Beauty, was found in Africa’s Sahara Desert in 2011. Only about 110 meteorites from Mars have ever been found. Scientists believe most Martian meteorites arrived on our planet during one large asteroid crash (小行星碰撞) that sent rocks falling toward Earth long ago.
Black Beauty is about 2.1 billion years old. Its discovery is the first time scientists have been able to study such an ancient Martian rock. It’s also one of the first times scientists have been able to study a piece of the panel’s ancient surface.
The sample’s water molecules were sent out when scientists heated the meteorite to analyze it. Scientists think the meteorite’s hydrogen and oxygen molecules are so plentiful because water flowing on Mars at the time this meteorite fell to Earth, or because these molecules were once sealed in large quantities in Mars’s crust.
Black Beauty might do more than just unlock secrets from the Red Planet’s past. These discoveries could also help scientists understand new data about Mars that’s being sent from the robotic rovers currently gathering information on the planet.

For decades, China had wanted a Nobel Prize in science. Tu Youyou, a researcher who helped to develop a malaria（疟疾）medicine, finally won the country that honor.
In fact, Tu is not the only scientist in China who is catching the world’s attention. In 2016, the Nature journal published a list of the top 10 science stars in China. Gao Caixia and Cui Weicheng are two of them.
Gao Caixia has been devoted to genetic engineering for her whole career. She is known for using CRISPR-Cas9, the revolutionary gene-editing technique that is sweeping through biology labs around the world – in crops.
At first, Gao was unwilling to take up gene editing using CRISPR-Cas9 because her lab at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology in Beijing had already created mutations（变异）in 82 genes using an older type of technology. But after thinking carefully about it, she decided to give it a try.
After a year of hard work, her lab finally succeeded. Gao worked on genetic engineering in wheat, a crop that is famous for being difficult to work with. Now she is considered one of the best in the world at engineering wheat.
Cui Weicheng is the developer of China’s record-setting Jiaolong submersibl（e 潜水器）. He is now a professor at Westlake University. In 2012, Cui rode inside China’s Jiaolong submersible and reached a depth of more than 7,000 meters in the Pacific.
Thanks to Jiaolong and the 57-year-old developer, China is now one of only a few nations that can explore the deep sea. Jiaolong can travel deeper than any other manned research submersible currently in use, which shows China’s increasing ambition and leadership in deep-sea research.
12. Why is Tu Youyou mentioned at the beginning of the passage
A. To show one of China’s long-held dreams.
B. To stress the importance of the Nobel Prize.
C. To praise Tu Youyou for her contributions.
D. To introduce more top Chinese scientists.
13. Why did Gao Caixia work on wheat
A. Because she failed in her attempt to study other crops.
B. Because she was expert at wheat engineering.
C. Because wheat is hard to be genetically engineered.
D. Because wheat is the most widely planted crop in China.
14. What is Cui Weicheng’s biggest contribution to China
A. He teaches about sea at a university.
B. He developed Jiaolong submersible.
C. He is devoted to genetic engineering.
D. He reached the bottom of the ocean.
15. What is the best title for the passage
A. China’s Science Stars B. China’s Nobel Prize Dream
C. Gao Caixia－China’s Crop Engineer D. Cui Weicheng－China’s Deep Diver
