An anti-viral gene called BTN3A3 (often found in people’s lungs and breath tracts), which blocks most bird flu from jumping to people, has been identified, helping scientists predict which bird flu viruses could cause outbreaks in humans. The discovery was made by the World Health Organization’s chief scientist, Prof Jeremy Farrar, at the MRC-University Centre for Virus Research.
The team compared how our genes worked when faced with either a human or bird flu virus, and found that BTN3A3 blocked most bird flu viruses, but not the seasonal flu viruses people catch regularly. The study also found that some of the bird flu viruses which have occasionally infected people, such as H7N9, also have genetic mutations (变异) which means they can bypass the blocking effects of BTN3A3. This means the presence of BTN3A3 in a bird flu virus may be a strong signal that it could cause a wider outbreak in people, they said.
“Identifying BTN3A3 resistant variants (免疫变种) when they first appear in birds might help prevent human infections,” said Dr Rute Maria Pinto, the first author of the study. “Now, when we find cases of bird flu, we can basically examine sick birds and find out whether the virus can overcome the BTN3A3 gene, simply by looking at its order and determining if this virus is likely to infect humans,” she said. “If the virus can in fact overcome BTN3A3, then stricter measurements should be put in place to prevent spreading.”
The paper comes after a new type of H5N1 bird flu virus, which transmits easily among wild birds, has caused destruction in animals globally. There have been concerns that the increased spread offers more opportunities for the virus to infect people, especially as more and more mammals (哺乳动物) have been infected. And Prof Massimo Palmarini, a co-author of the report told the BBC that just over 50 percent of virus samples from birds and seven cases in people were resistant to BTN3A3.
8. Why is it important to identify BTN3A3
A. Because the gene blocks bird flu from infecting humans.
B. Because the gene can prevent bird flu from breaking out.
C. Because the gene often does harm to people’s lungs and breath tracts.
D. Because the gene can forecast the outbreaks of bird flu viruses in humans.
9. What can be inferred from the study in paragraph 2
A. H7N9 could be widely spread from people to people.
B. Genetic mutations are caused by the block of BTN3A3.
C. People who often catch seasonal flu virus lack BTN3A3.
D. Human flu viruses do greater harm to people than bird flu viruses.
10. What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A. The way to examine the virus.
B. The significance of identifying BTN3A3.
C. The measurements to prevent virus spreading.
D. The approaches to preventing human infections.
11. What is the attitude of the author to H5N1
A. He feels worried about it. B. He thinks nothing of it.
C. He is positive about it. D. He doesn’t concern it.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种名为BTN3A3的抗病毒基因(通常存在于人的肺部和呼吸道中)已经被发现,它可以阻止大多数禽流感病毒传播给人类,这有助于科学家预测哪些禽流感病毒可能在人类之间爆发。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“An anti-viral gene called BTN3A3 (often found in people’s lungs and breath tracts), which blocks most bird flu from jumping to people, has been identified, helping scientists predict which bird flu viruses could cause outbreaks in humans.(一种名为BTN3A3的抗病毒基因(通常存在于人的肺部和呼吸道中)已经被发现,它可以阻止大多数禽流感病毒传播给人类,这有助于科学家预测哪些禽流感病毒可能会在人类中爆发)”可知,BTN3A3重要的原因是因为这种基因可以预测禽流感病毒在人类中的爆发。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The study also found that some of the bird flu viruses which have occasionally infected people, such as H7N9, also have genetic mutations (变异) which means they can bypass the blocking effects of BTN3A3. This means the presence of BTN3A3 in a bird flu virus may be a strong signal that it could cause a wider outbreak in people, they said.(该研究还发现,一些偶尔感染人类的禽流感病毒,如H7N9,也有基因突变,这意味着它们可以绕过BTN3A3的阻断作用。他们说,这意味着禽流感病毒中存在BTN3A3可能是一个强烈的信号,表明它可能会在人类中引起更广泛的爆发)”可推知,H7N9可以在人与人之间广泛传播。故选A项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段““Identifying BTN3A3 resistant variants (免疫变种) when they first appear in birds might help prevent human infections,” said Dr Rute Maria Pinto, the first author of the study.(“当BTN3A3耐药性变异首次出现在鸟类身上时,识别它们可能有助于预防人类感染,”该研究的第一作者Rute Maria Pinto博士说)”可知,第三段主要是关于识别BTN3A3的重要性。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The paper comes after a new type of H5N1 bird flu virus, which transmits easily among wild birds, has caused destruction in animals globally. There have been concerns that the increased spread offers more opportunities for the virus to infect people, especially as more and more mammals (哺乳动物) have been infected.(在这篇论文发表之前,一种很容易在野生鸟类之间传播的新型H5N1禽流感病毒已经在全球范围内造成了动物的死亡。人们一直担心,传播的增加为病毒感染人类提供了更多机会,尤其是在越来越多的哺乳动物被感染的情况下)”可推知,作者对H5N1是担忧的。故选A项。
D
More than half the world relies on rice as a main food source. Yet the crop faces an worrying future as global warming increases the Earth’s temperature and adds to more storms, droughts and heat waves, because rice is sensitive (敏感的) to climate extremes and grows in places already experiencing many. Any disturbance to that food source can cause great problems.
The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change—which brought together 234 scientists to collect recent climate studies—warned that human-caused global warming is happening at an extraordinary pace and is adding to the deadly floods, heat and droughts that we’re already witnessing. And those events result in major risks to farming.
“Higher temperatures lead to increased water loss, resulting in soil drying, increased plant stress and impacts on agriculture, especially in regions where large amounts of rainfall are not expected,” the report states.
If greenhouse gases are not reduced, about a third of global land areas are expected to suffer from at least moderate drought by the end of the century, the report concludes. Some changes like sea-level rise are already locked in.
Rice is especially sensitive to these changes. Rice often grows in ecosystems, such as deltas (三角洲), that have low sea-level and are easy to be influenced by rising seas. Any additional temperature increase could cause sea water into the filed where a healthy crop can develop, scientists say.
A 2018 study in the Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science found that an increase in the frequency and seriousness of hot weather could reduce rice outputs by up to 40% by the end of this century.
“Most of the world’s rice is currently grown in regions where existing temperature is already close to the most suitable range for rice production,” the study states. “Therefore, any further rise in temperature or short period of high temperature during sensitive growth stages will be disastrous.”
12. Why is rice particularly weak to climate change according to the passage
A. Rice requires large amounts of rainfall.
B. Rice is grown in regions with low sea levels.
C. Rice is hard to live in places with extreme climate conditions.
D. Rice is grown in regions with high levels of greenhouse gases.
13. What is the main concern for rice production in the future
A. Rising sea levels
B. Increased frequency of storms
C. Global warming and climate change
D. Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions
14. What attitude does the last paragraph show us
A. Pessimistic B. Optimistic C. Uncertain D. Encouraging
15. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Rice Output Is Decreasing Heavily.
B. Climate Change is Caused by Greenhouse Gas.
C. Climate Change Resuits in Low Output of Rice.
D. Greenhouse Gas Has Great Effect on Rice Growing.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了水稻对极端气候很敏感,全球气候变化导致水稻的产量降低。

【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Yet the crop faces an worrying future as global warming increases the Earth’s temperature and adds to more storms, droughts and heat waves, because rice is sensitive to climate extremes and grows in places already experiencing many.(然而,随着全球变暖使地球温度升高,并增加更多的风暴、干旱和热浪,这种作物面临着令人担忧的未来,因为水稻对极端气候很敏感,而且现在生长在会经历极端气候的地方)”、第四段“If greenhouse gases are not reduced, about a third of global land areas are expected to suffer from at least moderate drought by the end of the century, the report concludes. Some changes like sea-level rise are already locked in.(报告总结道,如果不减少温室气体排放,预计到本世纪末,全球约三分之一的土地面积将至少遭受中度干旱。一些变化,如海平面上升,已经被锁定)”以及第五段“Rice is especially sensitive to these changes.(水稻对这些变化特别敏感)”可知,水稻对气候变化和全球变暖非常敏感,可推知未来水稻生产的主要关注点是全球变暖和气候变化。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Therefore, any further rise in temperature or short period of high temperature during sensitive growth stages will be disastrous.(因此,在敏感生长阶段,温度的任何进一步上升或短时间的高温都将是灾难性的)”可知,本段表示全球气温的升高可能会是灾难性的,展示了悲观的态度。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Yet the crop faces an worrying future as global warming increases the Earth’s temperature and adds to more storms, droughts and heat waves, because rice is sensitive to climate extremes and grows in places already experiencing many.(然而,随着全球变暖使地球温度升高,并增加更多的风暴、干旱和热浪,这种作物面临着令人担忧的未来,因为水稻对极端气候很敏感,而且现在生长在会经历极端气候的地方)”以及倒数第二段“A 2018 study in the Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science found that an increase in the frequency and seriousness of hot weather could reduce rice outputs by up to 40% by the end of this century.(《农学与土壤科学档案》2018年的一项研究发现,到本世纪末,炎热天气的频率和严重程度的增加可能会使水稻产量减少40%)”可知,本文主要介绍了水稻对极端气候很敏感,全球气候变化导致水稻的产量降低,所以“气候变化导致水稻产量低”适合作为文章标题。故选C。

While the key to success in both personal and professional relationships lies in your ability to communicate well, it’s not the words that you use but your nonverbal cues or “body language” that speak the loudest. Body language is the use of physical behavior, expressions, and mannerisms (言谈举止) to communicate nonverbally, often done instinctively (本能地) rather than consciously. ____16____
Facial expressions. The human face is extremely expressive, able to convey countless emotions without saying a word. ____17____ The facial expressions for happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, fear, and disgust are the same across cultures.
Body movement and posture. Consider how your perceptions of people are affected by the way they sit, walk, stand, or hold their head. The way you move and carry yourself communicates a wealth of information to the world. ____18____
Gestures. Gestures are woven into the fabric of our daily lives. You may wave, point, or use your hands when arguing or speaking energetically, often expressing yourself with gestures without thinking. ____19____ While the “OK” sign made with the hand, for example, usually conveys a positive message in English-speaking countries, it’s considered offensive in countries such as Germany, Russia, and Brazil. So, it’s important to be careful of how you use gestures to avoid misinterpretation.
Space. ____20____ We all have a need for physical space, although that need differs depending on the culture, the situation, and the closeness of the relationship. You can use it to communicate many different nonverbal messages, including signals of closeness and affection or aggression.
A. And facial expressions are universal.
B. All the feelings in mind can be seen on the face.
C. However, the meaning of some of them can be very different across cultures.
D. There are many different types of nonverbal communication or body language.

Boys and girls,

Thank you.
【答案】Boys and girls,
As the first speaker of our team, I argue against the idea that smart homes are suitable for us. We firmly believe that they are not suitable for everyone due to several key reasons.
Firstly, smart homes rely heavily on technology and internet, making them easy to be attacked by hackers, which may cause great loss to the owners.
Secondly, smart homes require much money to buy and install the equipments. Not everyone can afford them.
In addition, smart homes can lead to overreliance on technology and a loss of life skills. This dependence on technology can prevent personal growth.
In conclusion, while smart homes offer convenience in certain aspects of our lives, they are not suitable for everyone.
Thank you.

47. 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,续写词数应为150左右。
When I was a kid, my godparents, Uncle Nell and Aunt Frances, brought me a four-month-old puppy. She was half German shepherd, half collie. As her pink tongue touched my face with wet licks, it was love at first hug.
My family named the puppy Dusty. Although I wanted to lay my only claim to her affections, in a family of seven kids, no one lays permanent claim to the family pet.
Dusty was our dog, not “my” dog. We soon realized that she had the patience of Buddha. My baby sister often transformed Dusty’s warm fur into a nap-time pillow -- falling asleep on the rug. Like a protective mother, Dusty waited -- without moving -- until my sister woke.
Dusty doubled as a school crossing guard, too. Monday through Friday she’d walk us kids two blocks to St. Patrick’s Parochial, looking both ways to check for traffic before allowing us to cross the street. We’d wave good-bye as we entered the door, knowing Dusty would be waiting at the school door to greet us at the close of the school day.
Of all the contributions Dusty made to our family, one incident stands out far and above all others.
Late one night, Dusty rushed to my parents’ bedroom. She barked and barked. When she got no response, Dusty raced upstairs to my bedroom and my brothers’ bedroom and barked again and again. When she failed to fully wake us, she flew back down the steps and returned to my parents’ room. Finally, she got Mom’s attention.
“What are you doing, Dusty ” Mom snapped, still halfway in dreamland. Dusty persisted. Finally my mother gave in.
“Okay, what is it ”
Dusty whined and rushed out of Mom’s room. Thinking the dog needed to be let out to relieve herself, my mother followed Dusty to the front door.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Para. 1:
When Mom opened the door, she discovered the house across the street -- where my best friend, Marianne, lived -- was on fire.

Para. 2:
My mother refused to take the credit.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 When Mom opened the door, she discovered the house across the street -- where my best friend, Marianne, lived -- was on fire. All of Dusty’s middle-of-the-night craziness had served a purpose: she’s been trying to call for help. My mother alerted the fire department immediately. Soon, the firemen in their trucks roared up the street, squelching the blaze and saving my best friend’s family from harm and their house from total ruin.
My mother refused to take the credit. “It was Dusty,” she told the firefighters. “She saved them. Not me.” I put my arms around my dog’s neck and fondly kissed her square on the tip of her wet nose. “Thank you for saving Marianne,” I whispered into Dusty’s tan and black ear. “You’re the bravest dog that I’ve ever known. I am proud of you.” Dusty wagged her tail and licked my face. That old familiar rush of puppy love overtook me. I smiled and promised to let her sleep in my bed for the rest of her life.

An anti-viral gene called BTN3A3 (often found in people’s lungs and breath tracts), which blocks most bird flu from jumping to people, has been identified, helping scientists predict which bird flu viruses could cause outbreaks in humans. The discovery was made by the World Health Organization’s chief scientist, Prof Jeremy Farrar, at the MRC-University Centre for Virus Research.
The team compared how our genes worked when faced with either a human or bird flu virus, and found that BTN3A3 blocked most bird flu viruses, but not the seasonal flu viruses people catch regularly. The study also found that some of the bird flu viruses which have occasionally infected people, such as H7N9, also have genetic mutations (变异) which means they can bypass the blocking effects of BTN3A3. This means the presence of BTN3A3 in a bird flu virus may be a strong signal that it could cause a wider outbreak in people, they said.
“Identifying BTN3A3 resistant variants (免疫变种) when they first appear in birds might help prevent human infections,” said Dr Rute Maria Pinto, the first author of the study. “Now, when we find cases of bird flu, we can basically examine sick birds and find out whether the virus can overcome the BTN3A3 gene, simply by looking at its order and determining if this virus is likely to infect humans,” she said. “If the virus can in fact overcome BTN3A3, then stricter measurements should be put in place to prevent spreading.”
The paper comes after a new type of H5N1 bird flu virus, which transmits easily among wild birds, has caused destruction in animals globally. There have been concerns that the increased spread offers more opportunities for the virus to infect people, especially as more and more mammals (哺乳动物) have been infected. And Prof Massimo Palmarini, a co-author of the report told the BBC that just over 50 percent of virus samples from birds and seven cases in people were resistant to BTN3A3.
8. Why is it important to identify BTN3A3
A. Because the gene blocks bird flu from infecting humans.
B. Because the gene can prevent bird flu from breaking out.
C. Because the gene often does harm to people’s lungs and breath tracts.
D. Because the gene can forecast the outbreaks of bird flu viruses in humans.
9. What can be inferred from the study in paragraph 2
A. H7N9 could be widely spread from people to people.
B. Genetic mutations are caused by the block of BTN3A3.
C. People who often catch seasonal flu virus lack BTN3A3.
D. Human flu viruses do greater harm to people than bird flu viruses.
10. What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A. The way to examine the virus.
B. The significance of identifying BTN3A3.
C. The measurements to prevent virus spreading.
D. The approaches to preventing human infections.
11. What is the attitude of the author to H5N1
A. He feels worried about it. B. He thinks nothing of it.
C. He is positive about it. D. He doesn’t concern it.
D
More than half the world relies on rice as a main food source. Yet the crop faces an worrying future as global warming increases the Earth’s temperature and adds to more storms, droughts and heat waves, because rice is sensitive (敏感的) to climate extremes and grows in places already experiencing many. Any disturbance to that food source can cause great problems.
The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change—which brought together 234 scientists to collect recent climate studies—warned that human-caused global warming is happening at an extraordinary pace and is adding to the deadly floods, heat and droughts that we’re already witnessing. And those events result in major risks to farming.
“Higher temperatures lead to increased water loss, resulting in soil drying, increased plant stress and impacts on agriculture, especially in regions where large amounts of rainfall are not expected,” the report states.
If greenhouse gases are not reduced, about a third of global land areas are expected to suffer from at least moderate drought by the end of the century, the report concludes. Some changes like sea-level rise are already locked in.
Rice is especially sensitive to these changes. Rice often grows in ecosystems, such as deltas (三角洲), that have low sea-level and are easy to be influenced by rising seas. Any additional temperature increase could cause sea water into the filed where a healthy crop can develop, scientists say.
A 2018 study in the Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science found that an increase in the frequency and seriousness of hot weather could reduce rice outputs by up to 40% by the end of this century.
“Most of the world’s rice is currently grown in regions where existing temperature is already close to the most suitable range for rice production,” the study states. “Therefore, any further rise in temperature or short period of high temperature during sensitive growth stages will be disastrous.”
12. Why is rice particularly weak to climate change according to the passage
A. Rice requires large amounts of rainfall.
B. Rice is grown in regions with low sea levels.
C. Rice is hard to live in places with extreme climate conditions.
D. Rice is grown in regions with high levels of greenhouse gases.
13. What is the main concern for rice production in the future
A. Rising sea levels
B. Increased frequency of storms
C. Global warming and climate change
D. Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions
14. What attitude does the last paragraph show us
A. Pessimistic B. Optimistic C. Uncertain D. Encouraging
15. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Rice Output Is Decreasing Heavily.
B. Climate Change is Caused by Greenhouse Gas.
C. Climate Change Resuits in Low Output of Rice.
D. Greenhouse Gas Has Great Effect on Rice Growing.

While the key to success in both personal and professional relationships lies in your ability to communicate well it’s not the words that you use but your nonverbal cues or “body language” that speak the loudest. Body language is the use of physical behavior, expressions, and mannerisms (言谈举止) to communicate nonverbally, often done instinctively (本能地) rather than consciously. ____16____
Facial expressions. The human face is extremely expressive, able to convey countless emotions without saying a word. ____17____ The facial expressions for happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, fear, and disgust are the same across cultures.

Gestures. Gestures are woven into the fabric of our daily lives. You may wave, point, or use your hands when arguing or speaking energetically, often expressing yourself with gestures without thinking. ____19____ While the “OK” sign made with the hand, for example, usually conveys a positive message in English-speaking countries, it’s considered offensive in countries such as Germany, Russia, and Brazil. So, it’s important to be careful of how you use gestures to avoid misinterpretation.

When I was a kid, my godparents, Uncle Nell and Aunt Frances, brought me a four-month-old puppy. She was half German shepherd, half collie. As her pink tongue touched my face with wet licks, it was love at first hug.
My family named the puppy Dusty. Although I wanted to lay my only claim to her affections, in a family of seven kids, no one lays permanent claim to the family pet.
Dusty was our dog not “my” dog. We soon realized that she had the patience of Buddha. My baby sister often transformed Dusty’s warm fur into a nap-time pillow -- falling asleep on the rug. Like a protective mother, Dusty waited -- without moving -- until my sister woke.
Dusty doubled as a school crossing guard, too. Monday through Friday she’d walk us kids two blocks to St. Patrick’s Parochial, looking both ways to check for traffic before allowing us to cross the street. We’d wave good-bye as we entered the door, knowing Dusty would be waiting at the school door to greet us at the close of the school day.
Of all the contributions Dusty made to our family, one incident stands out far and above all others.
Late one night, Dusty rushed to my parents’ bedroom. She barked and barked. When she got no response, Dusty raced upstairs to my bedroom and my brothers’ bedroom and barked again and again. When she failed to fully wake us, she flew back down the steps and returned to my parents’ room. Finally, she got Mom’s attention.
“What are you doing, Dusty ” Mom snapped, still halfway in dreamland. Dusty persisted. Finally my mother gave in.
“Okay, what is it ”
Dusty whined and rushed out of Mom’s room. Thinking the dog needed to be let out to relieve herself, my mother followed Dusty to the front door.
