3．（2024秋 邵东市校级月考）
Preparing Cities for Robot Cars
The possibility of self﹣driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurist's dream，years away from materializing in the real world.Well，the future is apparently now.The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly self﹣driving cars on public roads.The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self﹣driving cars，and for companies to operate driverless taxi services.California，it should be noted，isn't leading the way panies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country.It's hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads.But however long it takes，the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities，for better or for worse，depending on how the transformation is regulated.
While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars（and rightfully so），policymakers also should be talking about how self﹣driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams，cut emissions（排放） and offer more convenient，affordable mobility options.The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared.
Do we want to copy — or even worsen — the traffic of today with driverless cars？Imagine a future where most adults own individual self﹣driving vehicles.They tolerate long，slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work，entertain themselves or sleep on the ride，which encourages urban spread.They take their driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking.Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning，they send the self﹣driving minibus.The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transport — an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ride﹣hailing（叫车） services.
A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol﹣powered private cars worldwide with electric，self﹣driving and shared systems could reduce carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure（基础设施）and operations 40% by 2050.Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing.The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride﹣hailing services，considering the cost of self﹣driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues（责任与维护问题）.But driverless car ownership could increase as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology.
Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless vehicles doesn't extend the worst aspects of the car﹣controlled transportation system we have today.The coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people，and more affordably.The car of the future is coming.We just have to plan for it.
（1）According to the author，attention should be paid to how driverless cars can 　 　 .
A．help deal with transportation﹣related problems
B．provide better services to customers
C．cause damage to our environment
D．make some people lose jobs
（2）As for driverless cars，what is the author's major concern？ 　 　
A．Safety.
B．Side effects.
C．Affordability.
D．Management.
（3）What does the underlined word "fielded" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？ 　 　
A．Employed.
B．Replaced.
C．Shared.
D．Reduced.
（4）What is the author's attitude to the future of self﹣driving cars？ 　 　
A．Doubtful.
B．Positive.
C．Disapproving.
D．Sympathetic.
4．If you've ever been on a fishing boat，you've probably seen crowds of birds following it，hoping to catch a snack.Now scientists use those birds' behavior to track illegal fishing boats.
Researchers attached data loggers to the backs of 169 albatrosses（信天翁）in Indian oceans.Weighing only 42 grams，the devices included a GPS，which enabled them to detect the presence and intensity of radar signals emitted by boats.That information was then sent by satellite，so the researchers could track the location of the birds—and thus the radar emitting boats—in real time.
The scientists then cross checked that data against the known locations of boats，collected from a system boats use to declare themselves，called the Automatic Identification System（AIS）.And noticeable differences appeared frequently.
More than a third of the times the bird "loggers" detected radar signals，and therefore a boat，but no such boat appeared in the official log—meaning that the vehicles had likely switched off their AIS—something that probably happens in illegal fishing operations.
The work suggests birds could be an effective boat monitoring tool as long as illegal fishing operations don't target the birds.
Fortunately， such a task would be difficult.Around fishing boats，you can find hundreds of birds at any one time that are flying around.And the birds with loggers are not marked in anyway.So it's not really possible for fishermen to pick out a specific bird.
But what concerns researchers is that albatrosses often get caught by some fishing boats.Though regulations have been established to protect against that happening—with success—illegal boats don't necessarily obey.So scientists might be underestimating the risk posed to albatross populations.
（1）What characteristic of albatrosses do scientists take advantage of in their research？ 　 　
A．Their feeding patterns.
B．Their sense of direction.
C．Their greedy behaviors.
D．Their habit of following fishing boats.
（2）For what purpose does a boat shut off its AIS？ 　 　
A．To seek more fishes.
B．To have it mistaken for another.
C．To avoid being detected.
D．To save the trouble of declaring itself.
（3）What does "such a task" in Paragraph 6 refer to？ 　 　
A．Identifying birds with loggers.
B．Monitoring illegal boats.
C．Tracking radar signals automatically.
D．Fishing illegally.
（4）What could be the best title for the text？ 　 　
A．AIS：an Effective System to Locate Boats
B．Humans Are Good at Discovering Birds' Nature
C．Data Loggers Help Fishermen Get a Good Harvest
D．Scientists Use Birds to Track Illegal Fishing Operations
5．Growing up in America，I enjoyed the convenience of eating the most attractive，well﹣packaged foods of the 20th century，including all the candies we often see near the cash register.During those times I wasn't aware how bad sugar was，and in fact，neither was anyone around me.So I continued to spread jam on my toast and eat ice cream daily.
Strangely enough，I felt that sweet was some sort of wonderful drug which gave me the energy to function properly，to feel good and to perform at my best，all of which seemed necessary for growth.So why should I avoid it？
Years later，huge food companies，like General Mills and Post，began pumping more sugar into their products，and then more and more people appeared with bigger bellies（腹部）.It finally came to my awareness that our society was becoming more miserable and unfit.And from what？From sugar!I began to do some research into sugar and what it did exactly to our bodies.To my amazement，I found its damage was just as bad as，if not worse than，what alcohol and cigarettes brought about.You see，when you take in more sugar than you need or burn，your body and brain become over﹣active.This，in effect，causes your cognitive（认知的） abilities to slow down，your mood to get to the extremes，your skin to age faster，your blood to become thicker and your liver and kidneys to be worn out.
But what surprised me most，out of all of these horrible side effects，was that sugar adds extra pounds to your waistline，even if you do exercise regularly.And what I've always wanted，for the past few years，is to remove that extra fat around my belly so that I could finally see my abs（腹肌）.
I just didn't know，this whole time，what damage I had been doing to myself and my dreams，but I knew I had to do something I had never done before.
（1）What did the author use to do？ 　 　
A．He took in much sugar.
B．He learnt to cook foods.
C．He sold ice cream daily.
D．He had candies packaged.
（2）What made the author begin to doubt the benefits of sugar？ 　 　
A．Sugar was unable to provide necessary energy.
B．More people eating sugary foods became unfit.
C．Some companies avoided adding sugar to foods.
D．Many customers stopped buying sugary products.
（3）What is the third paragraph mainly about？ 　 　
A．The author's comments on sugar.
B．The detailed process of the research.
C．The harmful effect of sugar on health.
D．The reasons why there search is done.
（4）What does the author probably decide to do at last？ 　 　
A．Eat less food.
B．Cut down sugar.
C．Do more exercise.
D．Add extra pounds.

6．（2024秋 辽宁月考）Exposure to different cultures is one of the main reasons I enjoy visiting other countries.There are other types of food，interesting people，new experiences. （1）

（5）　 　 Wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill appears on ￡5 banknotes and writer Jane Austen ￡10 banknotes.The banknotes are also made of a material called polymer rather than paper.In Canada，they are already using polymer banknotes and some people even think that the money smells of maple syrup（枫糖浆），probably the country's most well﹣known food!

7．（2024秋 思明区校级月考）In today's world of mobile payments，all we really need （1）　 　 （survive） is a smartphone.But one company is hoping to make traditional wallets cool again，by （2）　 　 （bring） them into the digital age.
Armenian firm Volterman's smart wallet takes security to a new level.It's fitted with different technology，such as（3）　 　 alarm，GPS tracker，and even a camera.If your phone and wallet become separated，the alarm will warn you（4）　 　 you don't leave it behind.And if your wallet（5）　 　 （lose） or stolen，the GPS tracker can help you reach it.

Among all the fast growing science and technology，the research of human genes，or biological engineering as people call it，is drawing more and more attention now.Discussions about it are increasingly heated around the world.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with，such as cancer and heart disease.Every year，millions of people are murdered by these two killers.And to date，doctors have not found an effective way to cure them.But if the gene technology is applied，not only these two diseases can be cured completely，bringing happiness and more living days to the patients，but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved；therefore it benefits the economy as well.In addition，the human lifespan （寿命）can be prolonged.
Gene technology can help people to give birth to healthier and cleverer children.Some families have genetic diseases.This means their children will for sure have the familial disease，which is a great trouble for these families.In the past，doctors could do nothing about genetic diseases.But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly.Scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it，and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to create human beings in large quantities.In the past few years，scientists have succeeded in cloning animals such as mice，sheep，and dogs；therefore，these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned and that it would be beyond control，leading to some disastrous consequences.But many believe that cloned babies will not come out in large quantities，for most couples in the world can have babies in a very normal way and they also believe measures will be taken to control gene technology.

The possibility of self﹣driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurist's dream，years away from materializing in the real world.Well，the future is apparently now.The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly self﹣driving cars on public roads.The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self﹣driving cars，and for companies to operate driverless taxi services.California，it should be noted，isn't leading the way panies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country.It's hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads.But however long it takes，the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities，for better or for worse，depending on how the transformation is regulated.
While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars（and rightfully so），policymakers also should be talking about how self﹣driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams，cut emissions（排放） and offer more convenient，affordable mobility options.The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared.
Do we want to copy — or even worsen — the traffic of today with driverless cars？Imagine a future where most adults own individual self﹣driving vehicles.They tolerate long，slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work，entertain themselves or sleep on the ride，which encourages urban spread.They take their driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking.Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning，they send the self﹣driving minibus.The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transport — an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ride﹣hailing（叫车） services.
A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol﹣powered private cars worldwide with electric，self﹣driving and shared systems could reduce carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure（基础设施）and operations 40% by 2050.Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing.The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride﹣hailing services，considering the cost of self﹣driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues（责任与维护问题）.But driverless car ownership could increase as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology.
Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless vehicles doesn't extend the worst aspects of the car﹣controlled transportation system we have today.The coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people，and more affordably.The car of the future is coming.We just have to plan for it.

【分析】本文是一篇科教类议论文。文章主要讨论有关无人驾驶汽车的发展前景和面临的问题。
【解答】（1）A.推理判断题。根据第二段While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars（and rightfully so），policymakers also should be talking about how self﹣driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams，cut emissions（排放） and offer more convenient，affordable mobility options.（虽然到目前为止，大部分辩论都集中在无人驾驶汽车的安全性上（这是理所应当的），但政策制定者也应该讨论无人驾驶汽车如何有助于减少交通拥堵、减少排放，并提供更方便、更实惠的出行选择。）可知，政策制定者应该讨论无人驾驶车怎么帮助削减交通阻塞，减少尾气排放，提供更方便、更便宜的出行选择，由此可见人们应该多关注无人驾驶车怎么帮助处理与交通有关的问题。故选A。
（2）D.推理判断题。根据文章第一段But however long it takes，the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities，for better or for worse，depending on how the transformation is regulated.（不管花多长时间，这项技术都有可能改变我们的交通系统和我们的城市，不管是好是坏，这取决于如何这种转变如何被规范。）再根据文章最后一句话The car of the future is coming.We just have to plan for it.（未来的汽车就要来了。我们只需要计划一下。）可知，我们需要为其做好计划，故作者的主要关注点是对这种转变的管理规范，故选D。
（3）A.词义猜测题。根据第四段The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride﹣hailing services，considering the cost of self﹣driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues（责任与维护问题）.（鉴于自主驾驶的费用以及责任和维护问题，无人驾驶车几乎可以肯定将会被打车服务使用。）故划线词是"被应用"的意思。A.Employed被应用；B.Replaced被取代；C.Shared被分享；D.Reduced被减少。故选A。
（4）B.观点态度题。根据文章最后一段The coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people，and more affordably.The car of the future is coming.We just have to plan for it.（即将到来的技术进步为城市和州提供了发展交通系统的机会，以更经济实惠的方式运送更多的人。未来的汽车就要来了。我们只需要计划一下。）中的 advancement，move more people，and more affordably.以及plan for it可推知，作者是积极的态度。故选B。
【点评】考查科教类阅读理解。做题时要通读全文，把握大意，然后结合题干及选项做出正确的选择。
4．If you've ever been on a fishing boat，you've probably seen crowds of birds following it，hoping to catch a snack.Now scientists use those birds' behavior to track illegal fishing boats.
Researchers attached data loggers to the backs of 169 albatrosses（信天翁）in Indian oceans.Weighing only 42 grams，the devices included a GPS，which enabled them to detect the presence and intensity of radar signals emitted by boats.That information was then sent by satellite，so the researchers could track the location of the birds—and thus the radar emitting boats—in real time.
The scientists then cross checked that data against the known locations of boats，collected from a system boats use to declare themselves，called the Automatic Identification System（AIS）.And noticeable differences appeared frequently.
More than a third of the times the bird "loggers" detected radar signals，and therefore a boat，but no such boat appeared in the official log—meaning that the vehicles had likely switched off their AIS—something that probably happens in illegal fishing operations.
The work suggests birds could be an effective boat monitoring tool as long as illegal fishing operations don't target the birds.
Fortunately， such a task would be difficult.Around fishing boats，you can find hundreds of birds at any one time that are flying around.And the birds with loggers are not marked in anyway.So it's not really possible for fishermen to pick out a specific bird.
But what concerns researchers is that albatrosses often get caught by some fishing boats.Though regulations have been established to protect against that happening—with success—illegal boats don't necessarily obey.So scientists might be underestimating the risk posed to albatross populations.
（1）What characteristic of albatrosses do scientists take advantage of in their research？ 　D　
A．Their feeding patterns.
B．Their sense of direction.
C．Their greedy behaviors.
D．Their habit of following fishing boats.
（2）For what purpose does a boat shut off its AIS？ 　C　
A．To seek more fishes.
B．To have it mistaken for another.
C．To avoid being detected.
D．To save the trouble of declaring itself.
（3）What does "such a task" in Paragraph 6 refer to？ 　A　
A．Identifying birds with loggers.
B．Monitoring illegal boats.
C．Tracking radar signals automatically.
D．Fishing illegally.
（4）What could be the best title for the text？ 　D　
A．AIS：an Effective System to Locate Boats
B．Humans Are Good at Discovering Birds' Nature
C．Data Loggers Help Fishermen Get a Good Harvest
D．Scientists Use Birds to Track Illegal Fishing Operations
【答案】DCAD
【分析】本文是说明文。科学家们利用信天翁喜欢跟随渔船的习性，在信天翁的背部安装数据记录器，通过实时追踪鸟类的位置来追踪非法渔船，以监控非法捕鱼行为。
【解答】（1）D.细节理解题。根据文章第一段中"If you've ever been on a fishing boat，you've probably seen crowds of birds following it，hoping to catch a snack.Now scientists use those birds' behavior to track illegal fishing boats."如果你曾经在渔船上，你可能会看到成群的鸟跟在后面，希望能捕捉到零食。现在科学家利用这些鸟的行为来追踪非法渔船。" 可知，信天翁有跟随渔船的习性，现在科学家们利用鸟的这个习性来追踪非法渔船。故选D项。
（2）C.推理判断题。根据第四段中"but no such boat appeared in the official log—meaning that the vehicles had likely switched off their AIS—something that probably happens in illegal fishing operations.（官方的观察记录中没有出现这样的船只，这意味着这些船只很可能关闭了它们的自动识别系统（AIS），而这种情况很可能发生在非法捕鱼作业中。）"因此可以推断，船只关闭AIS系统的目的是为了避免在非法捕鱼作业中被发现。故选C项。
（3）A.词义猜测题。文章第五段中提到"The work suggests birds could be an effective boat﹣monitoring tool as long as illegal fishing operations don't target the birds.（这项研究表明，只要非法捕鱼活动不以鸟类为目标，鸟类可能是一种有效的船只监控工具。）"第六段中提到"And the birds with loggers are not marked in any way.So it's not really possible for fishermen to pick out a specific bird." 在渔船周围，有很多鸟儿在飞翔。有记录器的鸟没有任何标记。渔民要识别出一种特定的鸟（即有记录器的鸟儿）是不可能的。因此可以推断"such a task"指的是通过记录器识别出鸟儿。故选A项。
（4）D.标题归纳题。文章第一段提到"Now scientists use those birds' behavior to track illegal fishing boats."现在科学家利用这些鸟类的行为来追踪非法渔船。下文提到科学家们在信天翁身上安装数据记录器，通过实时追踪鸟类的位置来追踪船只的位置。不过也会有非法渔船关闭自动识别系统或者信天翁被非法渔船捕获的情况。文章的内容是围绕科学家如何利用鸟类追踪非法捕鱼行为的。因此文章标题应该为"科学家利用鸟类追踪非法捕鱼作业"。故选D项。

5．Growing up in America，I enjoyed the convenience of eating the most attractive，well﹣packaged foods of the 20th century，including all the candies we often see near the cash register.During those times I wasn't aware how bad sugar was，and in fact，neither was anyone around me.So I continued to spread jam on my toast and eat ice cream daily.
Strangely enough，I felt that sweet was some sort of wonderful drug which gave me the energy to function properly，to feel good and to perform at my best，all of which seemed necessary for growth.So why should I avoid it？
Years later，huge food companies，like General Mills and Post，began pumping more sugar into their products，and then more and more people appeared with bigger bellies（腹部）.It finally came to my awareness that our society was becoming more miserable and unfit.And from what？From sugar!I began to do some research into sugar and what it did exactly to our bodies.To my amazement，I found its damage was just as bad as，if not worse than，what alcohol and cigarettes brought about.You see，when you take in more sugar than you need or burn，your body and brain become over﹣active.This，in effect，causes your cognitive（认知的） abilities to slow down，your mood to get to the extremes，your skin to age faster，your blood to become thicker and your liver and kidneys to be worn out.
But what surprised me most，out of all of these horrible side effects，was that sugar adds extra pounds to your waistline，even if you do exercise regularly.And what I've always wanted，for the past few years，is to remove that extra fat around my belly so that I could finally see my abs（腹肌）.
I just didn't know，this whole time，what damage I had been doing to myself and my dreams，but I knew I had to do something I had never done before.
（1）What did the author use to do？ 　A　
A．He took in much sugar.
B．He learnt to cook foods.
C．He sold ice cream daily.
D．He had candies packaged.
（2）What made the author begin to doubt the benefits of sugar？ 　B　
A．Sugar was unable to provide necessary energy.
B．More people eating sugary foods became unfit.
C．Some companies avoided adding sugar to foods.
D．Many customers stopped buying sugary products.
（3）What is the third paragraph mainly about？ 　C　
A．The author's comments on sugar.
B．The detailed process of the research.
C．The harmful effect of sugar on health.
D．The reasons why there search is done.
（4）What does the author probably decide to do at last？ 　B

【答案】（1）to survive （2）bringing （3）an （4）so （5）is lost （6）more interesting （7）without （8）will take （9）easily （10）models
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。在当今移动支付的世界里，我们真正需要的是一部智能手机。但是有一个公司希望通过加入警报、定位系统、摄像头来使传统的钱包重新受欢迎。
【解答】（1）to survive.考查不定式。句意：在当今移动支付的世界里，我们真正需要的是一部智能手机。need to do是固定用法，表示"需要做某事"，故填to survive.
（2）bringing.考查动名词。句意：但有一家公司希望通过将传统钱包带入数字时代，让它们再次变得酷起来。介词by后用动名词形式，故填bringing.
（3）an.考查冠词。句意：它配备了不同的技术，比如警报器、GPS跟踪器，甚至还有摄像头。根据GPS tracker，and even a camera可知此处应为名词，alarm"警报；警报器"是可数名词，且是以元音音素开头的单词，需加不定冠词an表示泛指。故填an.
（4）so.考查连词。句意：如果你的手机和钱包分开了，警报器会提醒你不要把它丢下。分析句意可知，设空前后是因果关系，应用连词so连接，故填so.
（5）is lost.考查动词时态。句意：如果你的钱包丢失或被盗，GPS跟踪器可以帮助你找到它。设空处作谓语，本句描述客观事实，应用一般现在时，而your wallet是单数名词，与lose之间为被动关系，所以谓语动词应用一般现在时的被动语态，故填is lost。
（6）more interesting.考查形容词比较级。句意：更有趣的是前置摄像头。本句为倒装句，将表语形容词提到句首，副词even修饰形容词比较级，interesting的比较级是more interesting，故填more interesting.
（7）without.考查介词。句意：如果有人敢擅自打开你的钱包，里面的一个小摄像头会拍下照片并发送到你的手机上。设空后permission是名词，因此需要一个介词，根据句意可知此处表示"未经允许"，应用 without permission，故填without.
（8）will take.考动词时态。句意：如果有人敢擅自打开你的钱包，里面的一个小摄像头会拍下照片并发送到你的手机上。本句为复合句，根据"主将从现"原则，从句中用了一般现在时，主句应用一般将来时。故填will take.
（9）easily.考查副词。句意：收到小偷的照片你会很容易找到你的钱包的。此处应用副词修饰动词find，故填easily.
（10）models.考查名词。句意：这款高科技钱包将于今年晚些时候发布，共有三款，最便宜的预计售价179美元。设空前有数词three修饰，应用名词的复数形式，故填models.
【点评】本文考点涉及定语从句、副词、非谓语动词、虚拟语气、时态语态、冠词、倒装句、形容词以及名词等多个知识点的考查，要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，并结合相关语法知识，进行分析推理，从而写出正确的单词形式。

【答案】emphasis
【分析】我们提供所有类型的信息，重点是法律咨询。
【解答】答案：emphasis.要翻译的部分为"强调"，作介词的宾语，前面有不定冠词an，所以用元音音素开头的单数名词，故填emphasis.
【点评】翻译填空，先确定要填的词词性，如果是名词，要考虑名词的数，不可数名词没有复数，可数名词要考虑单复数的问题；如果是动词，要考虑时态，主谓一致；如果是修饰名词，应该用形容词，如果修饰动词，应该用副词。

14．阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Among all the fast growing science and technology，the research of human genes，or biological engineering as people call it，is drawing more and more attention now.Discussions about it are increasingly heated around the world.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with，such as cancer and heart disease.Every year，millions of people are murdered by these two killers.And to date，doctors have not found an effective way to cure them.But if the gene technology is applied，not only these two diseases can be cured completely，bringing happiness and more living days to the patients，but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved；therefore it benefits the economy as well.In addition，the human lifespan （寿命）can be prolonged.
Gene technology can help people to give birth to healthier and cleverer children.Some families have genetic diseases.This means their children will for sure have the familial disease，which is a great trouble for these families.In the past，doctors could do nothing about genetic diseases.But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly.Scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it，and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to create human beings in large quantities.In the past few years，scientists have succeeded in cloning animals such as mice，sheep，and dogs；therefore，these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned and that it would be beyond control，leading to some disastrous consequences.But many believe that cloned babies will not come out in large quantities，for most couples in the world can have babies in a very normal way and they also believe measures will be taken to control gene technology.
【答案】Gene technology is now a hot topic worldwide.It can help people cure deadly diseases and allow them to live a happier and longer life with better economic conditions.Gene technology also makes it possible for people with genetic diseases to give birth to healthy babies.However，some people are concerned that gene technology will be largely used in human cloning while others don't see it as a problem.

【点评】概要写作，简言之就是对所读过的文章简要概括，写出文章的中心大意，也可称之为摘要。写概要时，读者要是把文章的具体信息用一些具有概括功能的词和句表述出来，而不是抄袭文章的原句，更不是把细节性信息作为中心，而是要通过对文章中的单词、词组和句子进行合理转换，对文章的具体信息进行概括，再用合适的语言表述出来。这一题型主要考查学生对文章主旨大意的概括和准确获取关键词的能力，同时考查学生用简洁的语言概括文章重要信息的能力以及对文章整体结构的把握能力。因此，概要写作是基于阅读理解和书面表达，是二者的有机结合体，是阅读理解和书面表达的沟通桥梁。
