James Watson is a great American geneticist and biophysicist. He was born on 6 April in 1928 in Chicago. As a child he loved bird-watching with his father. He attended the University of Chicago, earning a degree in zoology in 1947. During these years his boyhood interest in bird-watching had developed into a serious love for learning genetics. Watson was given a scholarship to Indiana University where he received his doctorate in 1950.
Watson then moved to Copenhagen, continuing with his research. He became interested in the DNA molecule (分子) and joined a research team at the Cavendish Laboratory of the University of Cambridge with Francis Crick. Here, Watson made his famous discovery recognizing the double helix structure (双螺旋结构) of DNA.
He became a professor of biology at Harvard University in 1955, a job he held until 1976. His research at Harvard concentrated on RNA and its role in passing on genetic information. He also became the director of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York in 1968, a job that he held for 35 years. Watson turned the lab into a world center for research in molecular biology. Watson fixed his research at the lab on exploring molecular biology and genetics in order to advance (促进) the understanding and ability to recognize human diseases, and other causes of human suffering (痛苦).
Watson got worldwide fame as the co-author of four scientific papers between 1953 and 1954 that laid down the double helix structure of DNA. This discovery won him the Nobel Prize in 1962. During the 1960s, Watson became one of the most celebrated science writers, when he published his textbook “Molecular Biology of the Gene” in 1965 and his best-seller “The Double Helix” in 1968. Watson became the unquestioned leading voice in the whole of American science. He is a good example of the scientific creativity in 20th century science, giving rise to molecular biology and two ways it has been put to use: biotechnology and the “Human Genome Project”.

A team of scientists and cave experts stand at the entrance of Hang Son Doong — the world's largest cave. Hidden deep in the forest of central Vietnam, the cave was created millions of years ago when rock under the mountain was eroded (侵蚀) by river water. The weakened rock finally crashed, creating a large world now waiting to be explored.
Hang Son Doong, which means “mountain river cave”, was discovered by a local man named Ho Khanh in 1991, but it wasn't until 2009 that a group of British cavers explored it for the first time. The cavers had to stop after four kilometers because a great wall blocked their way. But a year later, they returned to climb past the wall and find out where the cave ends.
Inside, the team learns that in some parts, the cave is more than 180 meters high and spreads almost 90 meters wide. A whole New York City block — complete with 40-story buildings — could fit inside the cave. There are even clouds above — the cave is so large that it has its own weather system!
Deeper in the cave, the team members fight to keep their balance as they walk slowly through an underground river. Then they make their way through a field of huge rocks — some the size of houses. The team reaches an area where the cave's roof has fallen in, creating two impressive natural skylights. An explorer says, “Watch out for dinosaurs” as his partner walks into the light. In this dreamy place, prehistoric reptiles (爬行动物) seem likely to appear at any moment.
Further inside, the team walks through a thick, muddy trench (沟渠). The team's final difficulty is its biggest challenge (挑战) — they climb up a 60meter cliff. After a two-day climb, they finally see light at the end of the passage as they reach the cave's exit. Satisfied with the journey to explore, map, and photograph the world's largest cave, the team climbs out into the sunlight. They have become the first people to explore the whole length of the cave.
28. The cave remained unknown until recently because the entrance was _____.
A. guarded by local people
B. deep underground
C. blocked by a wall
D. hidden by trees
29. What causes clouds to form in the cave
A. The cave's size.
B. The cave's depth.
C. The cave's shape.
D. The cave's location.
30. What can be inferred about the cave
A. It used to house dinosaurs.
B. It feels like a different world.
C. It is separated by a huge rock.
D. It has two man-made skylights.
31. What would be the best title for the text
A. A pioneer team
B. The cave of secrets
C. An impressive entrance
D. The world of prehistoric animals
[D]
Language and culture are connected to each other in so many ways: language names and explains important events and people. When the Fourth Earl of Sandwich (1718-1792) ordered a lunch (so that he didn't have to leave the gaming tables) there was no word to refer to the bread-and-butter-encased food that has ever since borne his name. Another example is grog, a drink of rum (朗姆酒) mixed with water. The word was coined from the nickname of Admiral Edward Vernon (1684-1757) — Old Grog. The nickname came from the cloak (披风) of “grogram” which he habitually wore, and it provided the word for watered-down rum which he gave to sailors. In Australia it has become the word for alcoholic (含酒精的) drink of any kind. Both sandwich and grog are known throughout the English-speaking world, and have been borrowed into other European languages — sandwich into French, and grog into German.
In Australia some rather more specialised foods go by the names of local heroes and heroines. The lamington owes its name to Charles Wallace Alexander Napier Cochrane-Baillie, Second Baron of Lamington, who was governor of Queensland from 1896 to 1901. He was well-known for his concern for the treatment of local workers in northern Queensland. Another sweet, Peach Melba, was invented in 1892 or 1893 by the French cook Auguste Escoffier at the Savoy Hotel, London, to respect the Australian singer Nellie Melba.
Some words have their origin in the sports world. The boxer Larry Foley (1849-1917) stopped boxing at the age of 30, having developed a training school for young boxers. His name is probably the one behind the expression “give someone Larry Dooley”. Also a sporting hero was the footballer Roy Cazaly (1893-1963), who is the person in “Up There Cazaly”, used well beyond football as an expression of encouragement. He became a great footballer by taking amazingly high marks for the St Kilda and South Melbourne clubs.
32. What's the origin of the word “grog”
A. It was first used by Vernon.
B. It was borrowed from German.
C. It dates back to the late 18th century.
D. It has some relationship with clothes.
33. Which of the following is related to an Australian singer
A. Sandwich. B. Grog. C. Lamington. D. Peach Melba.
34. What is the possible meaning of “give someone Larry Dooley”
A. Give up somebody.
B. Encourage somebody.
C. Give somebody a beating.
D. Teach somebody to fight.
35. What similarity do the words and expressions mentioned in the text share
A. They are difficult to understand.
B. They come from people's names.
C. They have been used for centuries.
D. They are mainly used in Australia.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Here are five cooking habits that could be costing you important nutrients (营养物), causing you to overeat — or even making you sick.
Boiling vegetables
A 2015 review showed that boiling vegetables resulted in a high loss of vitamin (维他命) C. 36 “If you're not drinking a soup, you're missing out on nutrients,” says Nishta Saxena, a dietitian based in Toronto.
Washing chicken
While your favourite old cookbooks likely tell you to wash a chicken before cooking, this outdated advice is a safety risk. Cleaning meat in water may remove some of the bacteria (细菌), but it's also likely to pass it around your kitchen. 37 And clean your hands after you've finished the cooking.
Removing skins from fruits and vegetables
“Large amounts of nutrients are found in the skins,” says Liz Powell, a dietitian from Vancouver. “Concern about chemical remains isn't a good enough reason to do the removing. 38 ”
Mixing everything
A smoothie (a mixed drink) is a smart way to eat some greens. 39 They're often short of protein (蛋白质) and healthy fat. These things work together to keep us feeling full and satisfied. Without them, it's not really a balanced meal. Powell suggests adding some foods which contain protein or having a piece of wholewheat (全麦的) bread on the side.
Overdressing salads
We think we can add anything to salads, and they'll still be a nutritious choice. But it's just not true. If you're topping your bowl with dried strawberries and sweet cheese, you've easily added 30 grams of sugar to your so-called healthy lunch. 40
A. You should choose healthy produce for your family.
B. But these kinds of drinks are likely to be unbalanced.
C. To stay safe, don't wash the meat when preparing it.
D. Cabbage, for example, loses about 33% of its vitamin C.
E. Nuts are better choices to improve the taste of your greens.
F. The skins of potatoes contain more nutrients than its inside part.
G. Washing your produce will remove some chemicals from the surface.
