I still remember the days my grandmother used to take me on long walks along the summer grass. The sun was always shining on the small roots of the grass on the ground. I remember noticing how, even though the roots were small, they still managed to stick out. Even though there were other things that could attract people to the parts of the grass, somehow the mind always seemed to lead to the roots, or, more precisely, where it all started its origins.
I have learned to realize early on that if you come from a culture that is different from the mainstream culture, eventually you will have to choose. And sometimes, choosing isn’t an easy process. Growing up as a Korean American in the US, I have often felt the need to have to choose between the two cultures that I live by. Even with friends, I would be the outsider that is stuck somewhere in the middle.
On some days, I would choose to be the “white” version of myself, dyeing my hair blond, On other days, I would feel the need to relocate(迁移)to the Asian part of me. The part of me, also known as the “roots” of the grass, has always been kept hidden for whatever reason. Whenever I redye my own hair black, I get the feeling that I am preserving some of the roots that I may have left behind.
Sometimes, we just want to preserve those roots that we have kept hidden. We try extra hard to become “a part of”something we might have left behind. However, it is more meaningful if we allow that thing (culture in thin case) to become part of our daily lives. This way, we will become learn likely to forget “this” part of ourselves.
4. What did the author think of the roots of the grass on the ground
A. They were too small to be seen.
B. They grew well in the summer daylight.
C. They looked less attractive than the leaves.
D. They were more likely to grab people’s attention.
5. How would the author feel when staying with friends in America
A. She would feel stuck between two cultures.
B. She would feel desperate to share similarities with them.
C. She would feel unconcerned with any culture.
D. She would feel annoyed about their mainstream culture.
6. Why would the author redye her hair black
A. To create a new self-image.
B. To hide the Asian part of her.
C. To preserve her cultural roots.
D. To make her hair look natural.
7. What does the author mainly want to tell us in the text
A. The way to preserve our cultural roots.
B. The attitude we should hold to different cultures.
C. When in Rome do as the Romans do.
D. The longest journey begins with the first step.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过作者讲述自己的经历告诉我们：想要守住自己民族文化的根，要让自己民族的文化成为日常生活的一部分，这样，我们才不太可能忘本。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“I remember noticing how, even though the roots were small, they still managed to stick out. Even though there were other things that could attract people to the parts of the grass, somehow the mind always seemed to lead to the roots, or, more precisely, where it all started its origins.”（我记得注意到，即使根很小，它们仍然能够伸出来。尽管还有其他的东西可以吸引人们来到草的部分，但不知何故，思想似乎总是指向草根，或者更确切地说，是它的起源。）可知，尽管根很小，虽说还有其他的东西可以吸引人们来到草的部分，但是人们似乎总是先联想到草的根。可推知，那些草根可能会引起人们的关注。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Growing up as a Korean American in the US, I have often felt the need tohave to choose between the two cultures that I live by. Even with friends, I would be the outsider that is stuck somewhere in the middle.”（作为一个在美国长大的韩裔美国人，我经常感到有必要在我生活的两种文化之间做出选择。即使和朋友在一起，我也会成为被夹在中间的局外人。）可知，当作者和美国的朋友在一起时，总感觉自己像是卡在两种文化中间的局外人一样。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Whenever I redye my own hair black, I get the feeling that I am preserving some of the roots that I may have left behind.”（每当我把自己的头发重新染成黑色，我就会感觉到我在保留一些我可能留下的根。）可知，每当作者把自己的头发重染成黑色时，都会觉得自己正在保护一些可能被抛下了的根基。由此可知，作者把头发重染成黑色是为了保护她的亚洲文化的根基。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据最后一段中“However, it is more meaningful if we allow that thing (culture in thin case) to become n part of our daily lives. This way, we will become learn likely to forget “this” part of ourselves.”（然而，如果我们允许那样的事情(文化)成为我们日常生活的一部分，那就更有意义了。这样，我们就会变得容易忘记自己“这一部分”。）可知，作者通过讲述自己的经历来告诉我们，想要守住自己民族文化的根，要让自己民族的文化成为日常生活的一部分。因此作者主要想告诉我们应该怎样保护自己民族文化的根。故选A。
C
After decades of development and many trials and frustrations along the way, the James Webb Telescope has finally started to deliver what it came for. On July 12, NASA released the first science observations made by the suite of instruments carried on board the mission, marking what we eagerly anticipate will be the beginning of a new era in astronomy.
After the nail-biting launch on Christmas Day, a series of critical deployments followed to open up the telescope and its sunshade. If any of these operations had failed, James Webb would have been an unusable disaster. But the programme was perfectly executed, as the amazing observatory it has been planned to be.
It was very exciting to see the new images selected by an international committee of representatives from NASA. Scientists were not prepared for the level of crispness and fine detail that can be seen. It’s a joy to finally have such high-quality data.
Unveiled by US president Joe Biden, the stunning images of SMACS 0723, a cluster of thousands of galaxies, were released on July 11. The massive foreground galaxy groups magnify and twist the light of objects behind them, helping us to have a closer look at very faint objects in time.
The image shows the galaxy cluster as it appeared 4.6 billion years ago. Images such as this will help us understand how the first stars and galaxies formed. Some of these may be among the most distant objects known, from the beginning of the universe.
The size of a telescope-its aperture (孔径) -is the key thing that decides the ultimate quality of the images and the detail that can be observed. Bigger is better. With its six-metre aperture, James Webb is the largest telescope ever launched into space and from its vantage point a million miles from Earth, free from the Earth’s atmosphere, it is expected to deliver the best, most detailed views of the universe we have ever seen. There is no doubt that it will revolutionize our understanding of the universe, just as its predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope, once did.
8. What marked the beginning of a new era in astronomy
A. The successful launch of the James Webb Telescope.
B. The perfect operation of the James Webb Telescope.
C. The first scientific exploration mission carried out by the James Webb Telescope.
D. The new images about the galaxy cluster unveiled by US president Joe Biden.
9. What made scientists surprised
A. How the first stars and galaxies formed 4.6 billion years ago.
B. The clear and detailed images observed by the James Webb Telescope.
C. The programme of the James Webb Telescope was perfectly performed.
D. The James Webb Telescope went through decades of development and tests.
10. What does the underlined word “faint” mean in paragraph 4
A. Unclear. B. Tiny. C. Weak. D. Blank.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The James Webb Telescope is larger than the Hubble Space Telescope.
B. The Hubble Space Telescope covers a distance of six metres.
C. Our understanding of the universe has been completely changed by the James Webb Telescope.
D. A million miles from Earth is the best location for astronomy observation.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了詹姆斯·韦伯望远镜终于开始实现它的目标。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“On July 12, NASA released the first science observations made by the suite of instruments carried on board the mission, marking what we eagerly anticipate will be the beginning of a new era in astronomy. (7月12日，美国宇航局发布了该任务所携带的一套仪器所做的第一次科学观测，标志着我们热切期待的天文学新时代的开始。)”可知，詹姆斯·韦伯望远镜执行的第一个科学探索任务标志着天文学新时代的开始。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Scientists were not prepared for the level of crispness and fine detail that can be seen. It’s a joy to finally have such high-quality data. (科学家们对能看到的清晰度和精细细节没有心理准备。终于有了这么高质量的数据，真令人高兴。)”可知，詹姆斯·韦伯望远镜观测到的清晰而详细的图像让科学家感到惊讶。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前半句“The massive foreground galaxy groups magnify and twist the light of objects behind them, (巨大的前景星系群放大并扭曲了它们背后物体的光)”推知，这种放大和扭曲的光可以帮助我们及时地近距离观察非常模糊的的物体。所以faint为“模糊的，不清楚的”之意。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“With its six-metre aperture, Jame Webb is the largest telescope ever launched into space and from its vantage point a million mile from Earth, free from the Earth’s atmosphere, it is expected to deliver the best, most detailed views of the universe we have ever seen. There is no doubt that it will revolutionize our understanding of the universe, just as its predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope, once did. (詹姆斯·韦伯望远镜的口径为6米，是迄今发射到太空中的最大望远镜。它位于距离地球100万英里的有利位置，不受地球大气层的影响，有望为我们提供迄今为止所见过的最好、最详细的宇宙图景。毫无疑问，它将彻底改变我们对宇宙的理解，就像它的前身哈勃太空望远镜曾经做的那样)”可推断，詹姆斯·韦伯望远镜比哈勃太空望远镜大。故选A。
D
Every time your fingers touch your cell phone, they leave behind traces of chemicals. And each chemical offers clues to you and your activities. By analyzing them. scientists might be able to piece together a story about your recent life, a new study finds.
A molecule is a group of atoms. It represents the smallest amount of some chemical. Your skin is covered in molecules picked up by everything you’ve touched. With each new thing your skin contacts, you leave behind some small share of what it’d touched earlier.
Researchers at the University of California. San Diego (UCSD)recently analyzed such chemical leftovers on the phones of 39 volunteers. The study was led by biochemist Amina Bouslimani. To explore those remains, the UCSD team wiped the surface of each volunteer’s phone with a cotton swab(药棉签). The scientists also swabbed each person’s right hand.
Then the researchers compared the chemicals found on each cell phone. The scientists discovered as many of the molecules as they could. They then compared these to a database of chemicals. Pieter Dorrestein. a UCSD pharmaceutical chemist, had helped set up that database a few years earlier, which contains various substances, including spices, caffeine and medicines.
Traces of anywhere from hundreds to thousands of different molecules turned up on each phone. The molecules reflected what had been in the body, and what each person had handled before touching the phone. From all these molecules, Bouslimani says. “We could tell if a person is likely female, uses high-end cosmetics, dyes her hair, drinks coffee, prefers beer over wine or likes spicy food.”
Police already use molecular analyses to look for traces of explosives or illegal drugs. To date, Dorrestein says. he’s never heard of police using phone remains to narrow down behavioral clues to search for a suspect. But detectives might one day use such data to track down someone who left a phone behind at a crime scene.
12. What can we conclude about the user by analyzing the leftovers on the phone
A. Personality. B. Intelligence. C. Appearance. D. Lifestyle.
13. What was the first thing needed to be done for the study
A. Comparing different chemicals. B. Hiring volunteers with cell phones.
C. Building a database containing chemicals. D. Collecting the chemicals from phones.
14. What’s the author’s attitude towards the application of the research finding
A. Uninterested. B. Disappointed. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.
15. What should be the best title for the text
A. Fingers Leave Clues about You on Your Phone
B. Your Phone May Be Home to Various Chemicals
C. Molecules Are Used to Search for Illegal Drugs
D. Cell Phones Will be Used in More Fields
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】

【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Police already use molecular analyses to look for traces of explosives or illegal drugs. To date, Dorrestein says, he’s never heard of police using phone residues to narrow down behavioral clues to search for a suspect. But detectives might one day use such data to track down someone who left a phone behind at a crime scene.”（警方已经使用分子分析来寻找爆炸物或非法毒品的痕迹。Dorrestein说，到目前为止，他从未听说过警察利用手机残留物来缩小搜索嫌疑人的行为线索。但侦探可能有一天会使用这些数据来追踪在犯罪现场留下手机的人。）可推知，作者对于研究发现的应用持积极的态度。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Every time your fingers touch your cell phone, they leave behind traces of chemicals. And each chemical offers clues to you and your activities.

【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：茶在传播到世界各地后，作为人类共同的文化瑰宝，得到了全球顶级的认可。空处需要动名词作介词after的宾语。空处的动词和其逻辑主语tea之间为被动关系，所以此处需要动名词的被动形式。故填being spread。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：茶在传播到世界各地后，作为人类共同的文化瑰宝，得到了全球顶级的认可。根据句意可知，此处表示“作为类共同的文化瑰宝，茶叶得到了全球顶级的认可”，所以空处需要用介词as“作为”。故填as。
【39题详解】

【41题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：这种解释可以通过“炉煮茶”得到充分体现，“炉煮茶”是一种在中国年轻一代中流行的社交茶活动。句子陈述客观事实，应用一般现在时，空处为定语从句的谓语动词，先行词为Weilu Zhucha，关系词替代先行词作定语从句的主语，谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。从句为一般现在时。 故填means。

【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：与朋友和家人围坐在一起，有一个炉子，一些茶，水果和茶点在桌子上，人们可以聊天，看周围的风景，并沉浸在传统的中国文化中，一起煮茶。空处为非谓语动词作状语，people与sit为主动关系，用现在分词，作状语。置于句首，首字母大写。故填Sitting。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意：与朋友和家人围坐在一起，有一个炉子，一些茶，水果和茶点在桌子上，人们可以聊天，看周围的风景，并沉浸在传统的中国文化中，一起煮茶。空处连接“chat, view the surrounding scenery”和“be immersed”，表示“人们可以聊天，看周围的风景，并沉浸在传统的中国文化中”。所以前后为并列关系，需要并列连词为and。故填and。
【45题详解】
考查主语从句。句意：一位网民在新浪微博上评论道：“最吸引我的是它煮茶时的温暖氛围。分析句子结构可知，空处引导主语从句。主语从句缺少主语，且意义为“……的事物”，所以用连接词what，置于句首，首字母大写。故填What。

51. ________ (甜点) is not seen as an essential part of the meal, but as something extra. （根据汉语提示单词拼写）
【答案】Dessert
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：甜点不被视为这顿饭必不可少的一部分，而是一种额外的东西。根据汉语提示“甜点”可知此处应用名词dessert作主语，dessert在本句中作“甜食”的总称，为不可数名词，用原形，空处位于句首，首字母大写。故填Dessert。

第二节 句子翻译（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分。）
根据括号里的要求，把下列汉语翻译成英语，将每一题的答案写在答题卷相应的横线上。
56. 受到叔叔的鼓励，他答应在国外努力学习，不辜负家人的期望。(motivated, expectation)（汉译英）
【答案】Motivated by his uncle’s encouragement, he promised to do his best to live up to his family’s expectations when studying overseas.
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。受到叔叔的鼓励可以翻译为“motivated by his uncle’s encouragement”，motivated by为非谓语动词在句中作状语，该动词和句中的主语he之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词作状语。答应做某事可用短语“promise to do sth.”，promise在句中作谓语动词，本句话陈述过去的事实，所以用一般过去时。在国外努力学习，不辜负家人的期望可以翻译为“do his best to live up to his family’s expectations when studying overseas”，其中用到短语为do one’s best to do sth.“尽某人最大的努力做某事”，studying overseas为现在分词作时间状语。故翻译为Motivated by his uncle’s encouragement, he promised to do his best to live up to his family’s expectations when studying overseas.
57. 上大学不仅意味着抓住继续深造的机会，还意味着加深对周围世界的感悟。(grasp, insight) （汉译英）
【答案】Going to college not only means grasping opportunities for further education, but also deepening one's insight of the world around them.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词和名词。分析句子可知，这里时态应用一般现在时，陈述客观事实。表示“上大学不仅意味着抓住继续深造的机会”应用going to college not only means grasping opportunities for further education，其中going to college为动名词作主语，further education表“深造”，为固定短语；表示“还意味着加深对周围世界的感悟”应用but also deepening one's insight of the world around them，其中not only...but also表“不仅…而且”，为并列连词。故翻译为Going to college not only means grasping opportunities for further education, but also deepening one's insight of the world around them.
58. 这些食物妙不可言、与众不同，但更为重要的是我们所获得的友谊。（汉译英）
【答案】The food was wonderful and different, but what was even more important was the friendship offered us.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和主语从句。分析句子可知，本句为but连接的两个句子，前后句子都在陈述过去发生的事情，所以都为一般过去时，but之前的句子为主系表结构，主语为the food，was为系动词，表示“妙不可言，与众不同”应用wonderful and different，作表语；but之后，“更为重要的是”表达为what was even more important，为what引导的主语从句；表示“友谊”应用the friendship，作表语，表示“提供给我们的”为offered us，为过去分词作后置定语。故翻译为The food was wonderful and different, but what was even more important was the friendship offered us.
59. 但是，我们可以确定的是，文化和美食这两者息息相关，如果你没有体验过其中的一个，你就永远无法真正了解另一个。(cuisine, go hand in hand) （汉译英）
【答案】What we can say, however, is that culture and cuisine go hand in hand, and if you do not experience one, you can never really know the other.
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句。但是可用副词“however”。本句话为主系表结构，句中陈述一般事实，所以用一般现在时态；我们可以确定的是可以翻译为“what we can say”，what引导主语从句，在从句中作say的宾语；that引导表语从句，文化和美食翻译为“culture and cuisine”，在从句中作主语。息息相关可用短语“go hand in hand”可知，go在表语从句中作谓语动词，主语为复数，该动词用原形；if“如果”引导条件状语从句。你没有体验过其中的一个可以翻译为“you do not experience one”，无法真正了解另一个可翻译为“never really know the other”。故翻译为What we can say, however, is that culture and cuisine go hand in hand, and if you do not experience one, you can never really know the other.
60. 我一看到他无助地躺在病床上，就意识到我别无选择只能独自完成我们的课题了。(see+宾语+宾语补足语) （汉译英）
【答案】As soon as I saw him lying helpless on the hospital bed, I realized that I had no choice but to complete our project alone.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语、时间状语从句、时态。分析句子结构，这是一个包含时间状语从句与宾语从句的复合句。表示“一……就……”表达为as soon as；表示“我看到他无助地躺在病床上”表达为：I see him lying helpless on the hospital bed，因句子表示的是过去发生的动作，从句谓语动词使用一般过去时，本句使用了“see+宾语+宾语补足语”因宾补与宾语之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，使用现在分词；表示“我意识到”含义的表达为：I realize，因句子表示的是过去发生的动作，谓语动词使用一般过去时；表示“我别无选择只能独自完成我们的课题了”含义的表达为：I have no choice but to complete our project alone，因从句表示的是过去发生的动作，从句谓语动词使用一般过去时，故本句翻译为：As soon as I saw him lying helpless on the hospital bed, I realized that I had no choice but to complete our project alone.

Their 12-foot boat was taking in water little by little, and the wind was picking up. Her father, Gary French, hurried to operate the engine, while Kiana,16, was in the middle with Cierrah, her sister, frightened but still able to keep calm.
Kiana asked Cierrah to take off one of her cowboy boots, with which she got some of the water out. Hard as she tried, that little effort would not help stop the boat sinking. Moments later, the unthinkable happened. The boat was full of water and then it flipped over. Kiana and her sister were dumped in the water. Their father, who had had a surgery six months ago, managed not to be thrown into the water but seemed to have great pain in the chest due to the sudden change.
Kiana quickly put on her life jacket and saw Cierrah’s and her father’s life jackets floating away. She reacted quickly to get them back and held her sister onto the boat. They were so far out in the middle of the lake that they could not see the shore clearly. What’s worse.it was getting harder to stay above the waves. Their father swam over and hugged his two girls. Cierrah crying silently. Kiana heard her beloved sister murmur, “I can’t feel my feet.”
Kiana knew the only thing to do was to get to shore herself and find help. She looked up at her father, exchanging a concerned glance, turned round and swam as hard as she could towards the shore
Fighting against the strong currents and cold wind, she screamed for help at the top of her lungs every three minutes or so.

B
I still remember the days my grandmother used to take me on long walks along the summer grass. The sun was always shining on the small roots of the grass on the ground. I remember noticing how, even though the roots were small, they still managed to stick out. Even though there were other things that could attract people to the parts of the grass, somehow the mind always seemed to lead to the roots, or, more precisely, where it all started its origins.
I have learned to realize early on that if you come from a culture that is different from the mainstream culture, eventually you will have to choose. And sometimes, choosing isn’t an easy process. Growing up as a Korean American in the US, I have often felt the need to have to choose between the two cultures that I live by. Even with friends, I would be the outsider that is stuck somewhere in the middle.
On some days, I would choose to be the “white” version of myself, dyeing my hair blond, On other days, I would feel the need to relocate(迁移)to the Asian part of me. The part of me, also known as the “roots” of the grass, has always been kept hidden for whatever reason. Whenever I redye my own hair black, I get the feeling that I am preserving some of the roots that I may have left behind.
Sometimes, we just want to preserve those roots that we have kept hidden. We try extra hard to become “a part of”something we might have left behind. However, it is more meaningful if we allow that thing (culture in thin case) to become part of our daily lives. This way, we will become learn likely to forget “this” part of ourselves.

After decades of development and many trials and frustrations along the way, the James Webb Telescope has finally started to deliver what it came for. On July 12, NASA released the first science observations made by the suite of instruments carried on board the mission, marking what we eagerly anticipate will be the beginning of a new era in astronomy.
After the nail-biting launch on Christmas Day, a series of critical deployments followed to open up the telescope and its sunshade. If any of these operations had failed, James Webb would have been an unusable disaster. But the programme was perfectly executed, as the amazing observatory it has been planned to be.
It was very exciting to see the new images selected by an international committee of representatives from NASA. Scientists were not prepared for the level of crispness and fine detail that can be seen. It’s a joy to finally have such high-quality data.
Unveiled by US president Joe Biden, the stunning images of SMACS 0723, a cluster of thousands of galaxies, were released on July 11. The massive foreground galaxy groups magnify and twist the light of objects behind them, helping us to have a closer look at very faint objects in time.
The image shows the galaxy cluster as it appeared 4.6 billion years ago. Images such as this will help us understand how the first stars and galaxies formed. Some of these may be among the most distant objects known, from the beginning of the universe.
The size of a telescope-its aperture (孔径) -is the key thing that decides the ultimate quality of the images and the detail that can be observed. Bigger is better. With its six-metre aperture, James Webb is the largest telescope ever launched into space and from its vantage point a million miles from Earth, free from the Earth’s atmosphere, it is expected to deliver the best, most detailed views of the universe we have ever seen. There is no doubt that it will revolutionize our understanding of the universe, just as its predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope, once did.
8. What marked the beginning of a new era in astronomy
A. The successful launch of the James Webb Telescope.
B. The perfect operation of the James Webb Telescope.
C. The first scientific exploration mission carried out by the James Webb Telescope.
D. The new images about the galaxy cluster unveiled by US president Joe Biden.
9. What made scientists surprised
A. How the first stars and galaxies formed 4.6 billion years ago.
B The clear and detailed images observed by the James Webb Telescope.
C. The programme of the James Webb Telescope was perfectly performed.
D. The James Webb Telescope went through decades of development and tests.
10. What does the underlined word “faint” mean in paragraph 4
A. Unclear. B. Tiny. C. Weak. D. Blank.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The James Webb Telescope is larger than the Hubble Space Telescope.
B. The Hubble Space Telescope covers a distance of six metres.
C. Our understanding of the universe has been completely changed by the James Webb Telescope.
D. A million miles from Earth is the best location for astronomy observation.

Every time your fingers touch your cell phone, they leave behind traces of chemicals. And each chemical offers clues to you and your activities. By analyzing them. scientists might be able to piece together a story about your recent life, a new study finds.
A molecule is a group of atoms. It represents the smallest amount of some chemical. Your skin is covered in molecules picked up by everything you’ve touched. With each new thing your skin contacts, you leave behind some small share of what it’d touched earlier.
Researchers at the University of California. San Diego (UCSD)recently analyzed such chemical leftovers on the phones of 39 volunteers. The study was led by biochemist Amina Bouslimani. To explore those remains, the UCSD team wiped the surface of each volunteer’s phone with a cotton swab(药棉签). The scientists also swabbed each person’s right hand.
Then the researchers compared the chemicals found on each cell phone. The scientists discovered as many of the molecules as they could. They then compared these to a database of chemicals. Pieter Dorrestein. a UCSD pharmaceutical chemist, had helped set up that database a few years earlier, which contains various substances, including spices, caffeine and medicines.
Traces of anywhere from hundreds to thousands of different molecules turned up on each phone. The molecules reflected what had been in the body, and what each person had handled before touching the phone. From all these molecules, Bouslimani says. “We could tell if a person is likely female, uses high-end cosmetics, dyes her hair, drinks coffee, prefers beer over wine or likes spicy food.”
Police already use molecular analyses to look for traces of explosives or illegal drugs. To date, Dorrestein says. he’s never heard of police using phone remains to narrow down behavioral clues to search for a suspect. But detectives might one day use such data to track down someone who left a phone behind at a crime scene.
12. What can we conclude about the user by analyzing the leftovers on the phone
A. Personality. B. Intelligence. C. Appearance. D. Lifestyle.
13. What was the first thing needed to be done for the study
A. Comparing different chemicals. B. Hiring volunteers with cell phones.
C. Building a database containing chemicals. D. Collecting the chemicals from phones.
14 What’s the author’s attitude towards the application of the research finding
A. Uninterested. B. Disappointed. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.
15. What should be the best title for the text
A. Fingers Leave Clues about You on Your Phone
B. Your Phone May Be Home to Various Chemicals
C. Molecules Are Used to Search for Illegal Drugs
D. Cell Phones Will be Used in More Fields

On a Sunday afternoon, Kiana French was having fun fishing with her father and younger sister, not knowing the next minute, they would struggle not to sink in the freezing water. Their 12-foot boat was taking in water little by little, and the wind was picking up. Her father, Gary French, hurried to operate the engine, while Kiana,16, was in the middle with Cierrah, her sister, frightened but still able to keep calm.
Kiana asked Cierrah to take off one of her cowboy boots, with which she got some of the water out. Hard as she tried, that little effort would not help stop the boat sinking. Moments later, the unthinkable happened. The boat was full of water and then it flipped over. Kiana and her sister were dumped in the water. Their father, who had had a surgery six months ago, managed not to be thrown into the water but seemed to have great pain in the chest due to the sudden change.
Kiana quickly put on her life jacket and saw Cierrah’s and her father’s life jackets floating away. She reacted quickly to get them back and held her sister onto the boat. They were so far out in the middle of the lake that they could not see the shore clearly. What’s worse.it was getting harder to stay above the waves. Their father swam over and hugged his two girls. Cierrah crying silently. Kiana heard her beloved sister murmur, “I can’t feel my feet.”
Kiana knew the only thing to do was to get to shore herself and find help. She looked up at her father, exchanging a concerned glance, turned round and swam as hard as she could towards the shore
Fighting against the strong currents and cold wind, she screamed for help at the top of her lungs every three minutes or so.
