★★综合题
一、阅读理解
A科普知识
Of all the animals on Earth,none are more willing to explore than humans.Other animals will go in search of food or water.But humans can be encouraged by the possibility of discovery.So what is it that caused us to spread out across the world?
Perhaps it's in our DNA.In 199 Dr.Chuansheng Chen carried out a study of a gene(基因) known as DRD4﹣7 R.This gene is found in about 20% of all humans.This kind of people are mostly interested in taking risks,exploring and getting new ideas.Dr.Chen found that DRD4﹣7 R is more common in people who move around a lot than those who don't.For example,studies in Africa show that the gene is much more common in nomadic tribes(游牧的部落) than in tribes that prefer to stay in one place.
But can a single gene be a drive(驱动) for the need to explore?Dr.Kidd doesn't think so.He thinks DRD4﹣7 R might make people get more curious,but other important sets of genes also give us great minds and skilled hands.He believes that not just one gene,but groups of genes work together to create behaviors like exploration.
The environment we live in also plays a role in our need to explore.For example,during the European Age of Exploration,explorers became rich and famous for their discoveries.This drove others to try to increase their wealth through exploration.Therefore,their exploration was more likely encouraged by money than by genes.
Maybe the need to explore comes from something inside us,such as the DRD4﹣7 R gene.Or maybe it has more to do with what's happening in the world around us.Maybe it's both.Whatever the reason is,it seems we will keep exploring the mountains,the sea,the stars,and beyond,because that's just what humans do.
(1)According to the passage,Dr.Chen finds DRD4﹣7 R gene .
A.has more influence on people in Africa
B.could be found in most of the humans
C.prevents the people in Africa from moving around
D.may be more common in people who like taking risks
(2)What does Dr.Kidd think of the DRD4﹣7 R gene?
A.It isn't the only gene to encourage people to explore.
B.It can encourage people to have strange behaviors.
C.It is there important than all of other genes.
D.It can Dot be found in animals or humans.
(3)The example of the European Age of Exploration in paragraph 4 shows .
A.the reason of exploring
B.the importance of protecting the environment
C.the advantages of exploring
D.the big changes of the environment
(4)Which of the following shows the right structure of the passage?
A.
B.
C.
D.
B说明文
Technology is developing fast and it has become an important part of our life.Then what will the world be like in the future?
3﹣D food will be both delicious and nutritious.We can use 3﹣D printers(打印机) print some basic materials.And we can go further.Scientists believe that we just need to turn on a printer in the kitchen and then we can enjoy our favourite food whenever we like.
5 C network will allow many more people to get information.Big companies like China Mobile and China Unicom will start to offer 5 G.It is said that promises download speeds 10 to 20 times faster than 4 G.For example,we can download a film within just 1 second.But with a 4 G network,it takes a few minutes.There will be much bandwidth (带宽) and we can get unlimited (无限的) information.
Underwater cities will provide more space.The earth is becoming more and more crowded.We may turn to underwater homes,which will be built as low as 15 kilometers below the sea.And the sea water can be used to provide power for the homes.
Space tour is a piece of cake.For us common people on the earth,the dream of travelling around space will come true.In the coming years,spacecrafts will be as popular as buses,trains and planes.We can leave our home and enter space to take an adventure.And even we will get used to living there.
A robot will be a part of life.Robots can do many of the same things as we humans do like driving cars.But they will be used in other areas as well.They will be able to think.They can tell the difference between right and wrong.
In a word,just as Jules Verne said, "Anything one man can imagine,other men can make it real."

A
【答案】DAAC
【分析】本文介绍了驱使人类不断探索的多种原因。
【解答】(1)细节理解题。根据This kind of people are mostly interested in taking risks,exploring and getting new ideas.(这类人大多对冒险、探索和获得新想法感兴趣。)可知,DRD4﹣7 R基因在喜欢冒险的人身上更为常见。故选D。
(2)细节理解题。根据 But can a single gene be a drive(驱动) for the need to explore?Dr.Kidd doesn't think so.He thinks DRD4﹣7 R might make people get more curious,but other important sets of genes also give us great minds and skilled hands.He believes that not just one gene,but groups of genes work together to create behaviors like exploration.(但是一个单一的基因能成为探索的动力吗?Dr.Kidd 不这么认为。他认为DRD4﹣7 R可能会让人们变得更好奇,但其他重要的基因也会赋予我们伟大的头脑和熟练的双手。他认为,不仅仅是一个基因,而是多组基因共同创造出探索等行为。)可知,Kenneth Kidd基德博士认为DRD4﹣7 R基因不是鼓励人们探索的唯一基因。故选A。
(3)推理判断题。根据The environment we live in also plays a role in our need to explore.For example,during the European Age of Exploration,explorers became rich and famous for their discoveries.This drove others to try to increase their wealth through exploration.Therefore,their exploration was more likely encouraged by money than by genes.(我们生活的环境也在我们需要探索的过程中发挥着作用。例如,在欧洲探险时代,探险家们因他们的发现而变得富有和出名。这促使其他人试图通过勘探增加财富。因此,他们的探索更可能是受到金钱而非基因的鼓励。)以European Age of Exploration为例,指出当时人们因受社会环境的影响,为了追求财富而不断探索。通过这一事例,突出了社会环境在人们探索的过程中所扮演的重要角色。故选A。
(4)篇章结构题。文章首段点明了本文的主题,即人们一直在不断探索。作者在第二、三、四段展开了具体的论述,分析了DRD4﹣7 R基因以及其他可能驱使人们不断探索的因素。在最后一段总结全文,指出不管出于什么原因,人们都会不断地探索,与首段呼应。故选C。

(4)推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中句子A robot will be a part of life.Robots can do many of the same things as we humans do like driving cars.But they will be used in other areas as well.(机器人将是我们生活的一部分。机器人能够做和我们人类做的许多相同的事情,像开车。但是它们也将被用到许多其他的领域。)可以推断,机器人将帮助人们做许多事情。故选D。
