Martín Ramírez from Argentina
I think it is okay for scientists to grow genetically-engineered food because they can develop better food and this can help with the hunger problem all around the world. Scientists can help us to have more and better meat to eat by cloning only the superior animals. I don't think that we should worry so much about genetically-engineered food.
Angela Fernández from Mexico
I don't know whether the tomatoes we find in supermarkets are genetically manipulated or not. What I do know is that they are very bad! A tomato grown with the sun and soil is much better. In the case of strawberries, actually, most strawberries we can find are very tasty. I guess, however, they have been genetically controlled, too.
Vera Sorokina from Russia
If we control vegetable genes, we can also do with human genes. So, it may be possible that a substance which is left in food could get into the human body while the person is eating. Then, is it possible that this substance could modify the genetic structure of humans
Pinar Müfftler from Türkiye
I don't agree with the idea that scientists should not grow genetically-engineered food because it is not safe. If they want to make progress, they should do experiments. It's important to keep trying. If they don't keep trying, they will never be able to develop new technologies. Maybe these technologies won't be successful in the beginning, but if scientists keep trying, they will develop new ways.
21.What can we infer about Martín Ramírez
A.He doubts whether such food is safe.
B.He worries that the crops will spoil.
C.He is in favour of cloning animals.
D.He doesn't like vegetables or fruits.
22.Which of the following does Pinar Müfftler agree with
A.Developing such food is a better way to solve the hunger problem.
B.Experimenting on such food shouldn't be allowed.
C.New technologies will make such food safer to eat.
D.This kind of food is much better and tastier.
23.Of the people above, who is obviously against genetically-engineered food
A.Pinar Müfftler from Türkiye.
B.Martín Ramírez from Argentina.
C.Vera Sorokina from Russia.
D.Angela Fernández from Mexico.
B
It was the dead of winter when Dad told me that he found a delicate small bag in the snow on his way out of a clinic. “It was filled with seeds, so I planted them in pots beside the living room window where they could get such great light.” Dad was excited to have a planting project in the winter. He missed tending his garden plot, which was the size of a small farm.
I now lived out of state, but Dad reported in his daily phone calls, “These plants seem to double in size overnight. It's only been a few weeks, and they are almost touching the ceiling.” Since Dad had green fingers, I wasn't surprised at that. I couldn't imagine what plant would do so well. I knew photos would not come soon because Dad had to use up the film in his camera and then developed the pictures.
During one call, Dad said, “Today at work, one of my co-workers was wearing a T-shirt with a screen-printed picture of the same leaf as my mysterious houseplants. I told him that I had those same herbs, which were growing like weeds, and I had to get rid of them.” Dad continued, “He eagerly took them off my hands, and now I can see out the window again.”
This without doubt awakened my curiosity, and I decided to do some research. In those days, that meant going to the library's reference section. I did some reading and photocopied some articles. I mailed them to my father.
Dad called, “I just couldn't believe what I read in the papers you sent. Those pictures were exactly what my plants looked like. No wonder my co-worker was so willing to take them.”
We both laughed till we cried when we ultimately realized my father had just raised a harvest of precious Chinese herbs used to ease pain.
24.Why did Dad plant the seeds
A.Because it was the doctor's advice.
B.Because he had a small farm at home.
C.Because it satisfied his eagerness for gardening.
D.Because the seeds would bring him rich rewards.
25.What does the underlined word “that” mean in Paragraph 2
A.Dad's gardening talents.
B.The herbs' quickly growing.
C.Dad's efforts to tend the seeds.
D.A planting project in the winter.
26.What can be inferred about the co-worker
A.He had little interest in the plants.
B.He recognized the value of the plants.
C.He desired to learn from the author's dad.
D.He wanted to show his knowledge about plants.
27.What is a suitable title for the text
A.Seed catcher
B.Window scenery
C.Helpful co-worker
D.Innocent gardener

Where do great musicians, mathematicians and sportspeople get their talent For decades now, we have assumed that most of them are simply born with a talent that ordinary people do not have. When the baseball legend Ted Williams claimed that his achievement didn't relate to natural ability but was the result of practice, practice, practice, people assumed that he was merely being modest. But scientists now believe that there is a good deal of truth in what he said.
Throughout the last century, it was accepted that we inherit(经遗传获得) many of our characteristics from our parents via their DNA, that each of us inherits a fixed amount of intelligence—a fixed IQ, and that most of us are to be ordinary. But now it is accepted that our genes interact with our surroundings, getting turned on and off all the time. “There are no genetic factors that can be studied independently of the environment,” explains Michael Meaney of McGill University. “And there are no environmental factors that function independently of our genes. They work alongside each other.”
How does this view of the role of genes change our understanding of individual talent and abilities Does it now mean that genes don't matter, and that we all have the potential to be like, say, Franz Beckenbauer or LeBron James Such a claim flies in the face of reason. The genes we inherit clearly matter, as do genetic differences between individuals. But it is also true that Franz Beckenbauer would not have become a super footballer, nor LeBron James a basketball superstar, without putting in thousands of hours of practice. They could have turned out to be entirely different people. Talent researcher Kevin Rathunde agrees. “High academic achievers are not necessarily born much smarter than others but genes do count,” he writes in his book Talented Teenagers, “and above all they usually work harder and develop more self-discipline.”
28.What did Ted Williams think led to his success
A.His natural talent.
B.His full commitment.
C.His modest personality.
D.His extraordinary intelligence.
29.What did we widely believe during the 20th century
A.Intelligence has little to do with DNA.
B.Our genes interact with our environment.
C.The majority of us are of average intelligence.
D.Our character is simply decided by inherited DNA.
30.Why does the author mention “Franz Beckenbauer” and “LeBron James” in Paragraph 3
A.To clarify a point.
B.To illustrate a rule.
C.To offer a solution.
D.To make a prediction.
31.Which statement will Kevin Rathunde probably agree with
A.Most of us are born to be average persons.
B.We could all be geniuses if working hard enough.
C.Genetic factors are more important than hard work.
D.Great talent is a combination of genes and practice.
D
One day, an anti-cancer agent could be a cell with specially equipped powerful balloons that pop when placed near an ultrasound beam(超声束)—killing surrounding cancer cells in its wake.
The key to this operation is tiny protein bubbles. If a microbe(微生物) wishes to rise to the surface, it can create a few bubbles, making its body more flowing and pushing it upward. If it wishes to drop, it can pop a few bubbles and do the opposite. The study's authors wondered if they could put the shock waves from those bubbles to work against tumors(肿瘤).
First, the researchers had to test bubbles' explosive capabilities. They placed them in a Petri dish. After they attacked the dish with ultrasound, in a matter of mere seconds, they identified signs of widespread damage that showed the bubbles were responsible. Then, the researchers tested the process in living, cancer-stricken mice. The researchers put E.coli bacteria in to let the microbes create bubbles. After letting the bacteria circulate for five days, they turned on the ultrasound. By that time, the researchers found that those bacteria had settled deep inside the tumors. Nearly two weeks after the ultrasound treatment, tumors that had been broken grew three times more slowly than those that hadn't. And the mice that had received the bubble treatment survived, on average, more than twice as long as their counterparts(对应的人或物).
“After decades, I just haven't seen that come to fruition,” says Mark Borden, a biomedical engineer at the University of Colorado. Of course, making this research work in the lab is one challenge. They need to ensure that putting bubble-containing microbes into a human body won't end up striking the immune system, and that they won't cause damage to tissues outside the tumor. So, they'd need to further test the way on animals. But, if it does work out, it could add to the ever-growing toolbox that can be used against the threat of cancer. “It's an attractive technology and I think it has a lot of potential,” says Borden.
32.What can the bubbles made by a microbe do
A.Increase the microbe's size.
B.Drive the microbe to move upwards.
C.Remove shock waves from the microbe.
D.Protect the microbe from being damaged.
33.What happened to the cancer-stricken mice after they received the bubble treatment
A.The tumors totally disappeared.
B.They showed signs of suffering.
C.They had a big chance of survival.
D.The tumors changed their appearance.
34.What is the researchers' concern about the bubble treatment
A.It might cost a lot of money.
B.It might face technological problems.
C.It might do great harm to animals' health.
D.It might cause safety problems in humans.
35.What is the main idea of the text
A.Microbe bubbles may damage cancer cells.
B.Microbe bubbles may have a lot of functions.
C.Microbe bubbles may protect humans' immune system.
D.We may prevent cancer cells producing bubbles.

Every 40 seconds someone in the U.S. has a stroke (中风), and about three-quarters occur in people aged 65 or older. 36 . And the lifestyle you adopt can be especially powerful in avoiding strokes. Here's what you can do now to reduce your risk.
37 . Take high blood pressure for example, which some research suggests is responsible for almost half of all strokes. A heart-healthy eating plan may help control it. Also try to limit salt intake, maintain a healthy weight, and exercise regularly.
38 , ask your doctor what levels you should try to achieve and whether medicines are proper. Staying out of the high blood pressure range can be challenging with age due to the higher possibility for medicine side effects. Another important condition to watch out for is atrial fibrillation (AFib) (房颤), an irregular and often rapid heartbeat, which affects at least 10 percent of people over age 80. 39 .
A heart-healthy lifestyle can reduce that risk. But older adults may still develop it, so report irregular heartbeats, chest pressure, shortness of breath, and dizziness to your doctor right away. 40 , the American Heart Association says people over age 65 should have a yearly examination to check for the condition. Treatments include blood thinners and the surgical (手术的) implantation of a pacemaker.
Type-2 diabetes (糖尿病) and high blood fat make you more likely to have a stroke as well, so it's also fundamental to get them under control.
A.As AFib is regarded as incurable
B.Because AFib sometimes has no signs
C.But about 80 percent of all strokes are preventable
D.When it is easy for you to control your blood pressure
E.If your blood pressure is high even with the above measures
F.People with AFib are about five times as likely to have a stroke
G.Keeping certain conditions at bay can reduce the likelihood of a stroke

The Littlest Firefighter
The 26-year-old mother stared down at her son who was dying of terminal leukemia (白血病).Although her heart was filled with sadness, she also had a strong feeling of determination. Like any parent she wanted her son to grow up and fulfill all his dreams. Now that was no longer possible.
But she still wanted her son's dreams to come true. She took her son's hand and asked, “Billy, did you ever think about what you wanted to be once you grew up Did you ever dream and wish what you would do in your life ”
“Mommy, I always wanted to be a fireman when I grew up.” Mom smiled back and said, “Let's see if we can make your wish come true.”
Later that day she went to her local fire department in Phoenix, Arizona, where she met fireman Bob, who had a heart as big as Phoenix. She explained her son's final wish and asked if it might be possible to give her six-year-old son a ride around the block in a fire engine.
Fireman Bob said, “Look, we can do better than that. If you have your son ready at seven o'clock Wednesday morning, we'll make him an honorary fireman for the whole day. He can come down to the fire station, eat with us and go out on all the fire calls. And if you can give us his sizes, we'll get a real fire uniform for him, with a real fire hat—not a toy one—with the emblem of the Phoenix Fire Department on it, a yellow slicker like we wear and rubber boots.They're all manufactured right here in Phoenix, so we can get them fast.”
注意: 续写词数应为150个左右。
Three days later fireman Bob picked up Billy and dressed him in his fire uniform.
With all the love and attention, Billy's dream finally came true.

22.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可知,科学家不应该种植转基因食物是因为它不安全,Pinar Müfftler不同意这个观点。根据最后一段最后两句可知,如果他们不一直尝试,他们将永远无法开发新技术。也许这些技术一开始不会成功,但如果科学家们不断尝试,他们会开发出新的方法。由此可推知,Pinar Müfftler认为新技术将使这类食品食用更安全。故选C。
23.D 细节理解题。根据第二段前两句可知,我不知道我们在超市里看到的西红柿是不是转基因的。我所知道的是,它们非常糟糕!由此可知,来自墨西哥的Angela Fernández明显反对转基因食物。故选D。
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者父亲种植一些无名种子,长大后把它们当成杂草,后来才知道它们是珍贵的中草药。
24.C 推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后两句可知,父亲很高兴在冬天有一个种植项目。他错过了照料他的花园,它有一个小农场那么大。由此可推知,种植这些种子满足了他冬天对园艺的渴望。故选C项。
25.B 词义猜测题。由文章第二段可知,这些植物似乎一夜之间长大了一倍。这才几周,它们就快到天花板了。因为父亲是园艺能手,我对此并不感到惊讶。由此可推知,that应指代前文提到的植物快速生长这件事情。故选B项。
26.B 推理判断题。由文章最后一段可知,当我们最终意识到我父亲刚刚收获了一批用来止痛的珍贵中草药时,我们都笑哭了。根据倒数第二段最后一句“难怪我的同事这么愿意要它们”可推知,父亲的同事辨认出这些植物的价值。故选B项。
27.D 主旨大意题。由文章最后一段可知,当我们意识到我父亲刚刚收获了一批用来止痛的珍贵中草药时,我们都笑哭了,再结合前文可知,文章主要讲述作者的父亲种植一些无名种子,长大后把它们当成杂草,后来才知道它们是珍贵的中草药。所以D项“Innocent gardener(无知的园丁)”适合作为文章标题。故选D项。
C
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人的基因对人的天赋起到作用,但是周围的环境和后天的努力也会有影响。
28.B 细节理解题。根据第一段第三句可知,当棒球传奇人物Ted Williams声称他的成就与天赋无关,而是练习、练习、再练习的结果时,人们以为他只是谦虚而已。由此可知,Ted Williams认为是他的努力导致了他的成功,也就是他的全身心投入。故选B项。
29.C 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知,在二十世纪,人们认为,我们通过DNA从父母那里遗传了许多特征,我们每个人都遗传了固定的智力——固定的智商,我们大多数人都是平凡的。由此可知,在二十世纪,我们普遍相信我们大多数人的智力一般。故选C项。
30.A 推理判断题。根据第三段第四、五句可知,我们遗传的基因显然很重要,个体之间的基因差异也很重要。但同样不可否认的是,如果没有成千上万小时的训练,Franz Beckenbauer就不会成为超级足球运动员,LeBron James也不会成为篮球巨星。由此可推知,作者提到这两位运动员是为了阐明一个观点:练习是很重要的。故选A项。
31.D 推理判断题。根据全文最后一句可知,他在《天才少年》一书中写道:“学业成绩优异的人不一定天生就比别人聪明,但基因确实很重要。最重要的是,他们通常更努力学习,更自律。”由此可推知,Kevin Rathunde认为了不起的人才是基因和练习的结合体。故选D项。
D
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了微生物产生的“气泡”也会产生很大的杀伤力,它们或许可以用来对抗癌症的威胁。
32.B 细节理解题。根据第二段第二、三句可知,如果微生物想要浮到表面,它会产生一些气泡,使其更具流动性并将其向上推动。由此可知,微生物通过产生气泡来帮助自己更好地向上移动,与B选项描述相符。故选B。

35.A 主旨大意题。根据第二段最后一句可知,该研究的发起人想知道他们是否可以将来自那些气泡的冲击波用于抗击肿瘤;根据最后一段最后两句可知,如果进展顺利的话,它可以持续抗击癌症的威胁,它是一种有吸引力的科技,有很大的潜力。由此可知,本文主要介绍了一项医学上的科研成果——微生物产生的气泡可能会对癌症治疗产生作用,A选项“微生物气泡可能破坏癌细胞”概括本篇文章的主旨。故选A。
第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了预防中风的一些饮食和生活习惯方面的措施。
36.C 过渡句。上一句“在美国,每40秒就有一人中风,其中大约四分之三发生在65岁及以上的人群中”提到了中风发生的比例,下一句“你所采取的生活方式对避免中风尤其有效”特别指出了生活方式对预防中风的有效性,选项C“但是大约80%的中风是可以预防的”承上启下,符合语境。故选C。
37.G 主旨句。根据下文“以高血压为例,一些研究表明,几乎一半的中风是由高血压引起的”及全段内容可知,该段主要举例说明了控制高血压可以减少中风;选项G“控制某些疾病可以降低中风的可能性”概括说明了本段的主旨,符合语境。故选G。
38.E 主旨句。设空处后“询问你的医生你应该努力达到什么数值,以及药物是否合适”为祈使句,提出了在某种情况下人们应采取的措施,选项E“如果你的血压在采取了以上措施后还是很高”正好是建议人们采取措施的前提条件,语意衔接合理,条件状语从句与后面的祈使句衔接合理。故选E。
39.F 细节句。上一句“另一个需要注意的重要疾病是房颤,这是一种不规则且经常快速的心跳,80岁以上的人至少有10%患有这种疾病”提出了房颤这种疾病,选项F“患有房颤的人中风的可能性是正常人的五倍”承接上文,呼应主题。故选F。
40.B 过渡句。根据下文“美国心脏协会表示,65岁以上的人应该每年进行一次检查,以检查疾病”可知,选项B“因为房颤有时没有任何征兆”是美国心脏协会提出健康检查的理由,二者之间为因果关系,符合语境;同时选项B中的“signs”与上一句“但老年人仍有可能患上此病,所以要立即向医生报告心律不齐、胸闷、气短和头晕”中提到的房颤的征兆相对应,衔接合理。故选B。

第四部分 写作
第一节
One possible version:
Dear Jack,
I'm glad that you like Chinese food. Chinese food is one of the most popular and healthiest diets, but it can be high in oil and salt.What's more, the portions of main dishes are often quite large.So remember not to order too many dishes when you are alone.Choose dishes with lots of vegetables and try to avoid dishes with fried meat.Order boiled, steamed or lightly fried dishes instead of fried ones. Ask the cook to use less oil when preparing dishes.
Wish you a good appetite.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
Three days later fireman Bob picked up Billy and dressed him in his fire uniform. They took him from his hospital bed to the fire station.There were three fire calls in Phoenix that day and Billy got to go out on all three calls. He rode in the different fire engines, the paramedic's van and even the fire chief's car. He was also video-taped by the local news program.
With all the love and attention,Billy's dream finally came true. Billy was so deeply touched that he lived three months longer than any doctor thought. On his last day, firefighters went into Billy's room. They hugged him and told him how much they loved him.With his dying breath Billy looked up at the fire chief and said,“Chief, am I really a fireman now ” “Billy, you are,” the chief said. With those words, Billy smiled and closed his eyes one last time.
