en enter the body through the skin. People all over the world could grow the rice and make the cream themselves. This would prevent the cost and travel required for many patients to receive treatments and medicine. The process of changing the genetic structure of food crops has been debated for some time. Critics of genetically engineered crops believe they can harm people. The scientific team says further testing is needed to ensure that the genetic engineering process does not produce any additional chemicals that could be dangerous to people.(1)What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A.Stress the urgency of HIV treatments.B.Provide some data about HIV.C.Remind readers of HIV prevention.D.Introduce HIV to the public.(2)In which way will the rice be used at the lowest cost? A.By transforming it into proteins.B.By adding it to an oral drug.C.By attaching it to the HIV virus.D.By processing it into a cream.(3)What can we infer about the genetic engineering process? A.It can prevent infections of HIV.B.It can produce dangerous chemicals.C.It still requires perfecting.D.It applies to the developed world.(4)From which is the text probably taken?

Now there is no cure for HIV/AIDS though there have been developments in oral drug treatments to slow the progression of the disease” 可知,“2017年全世界有近3700萬(wàn)人感染艾滋病毒。盡管口服藥物治療已經(jīng)有了進(jìn)展減緩了疾病的發(fā)展,但現(xiàn)在還沒(méi)有治愈艾滋病毒/艾滋病的方法”。由此可推斷出對(duì)于艾滋病的治療迫在眉睫,非常緊迫。分析選項(xiàng)可知A項(xiàng)符合題意, 故選A。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段中的“They say the easiest and most costeffective way to use the rice will be to make it into a cream to be put on the skin.”可知,最簡(jiǎn)單、最劃算的使用方法是將大米制成面霜涂在皮膚上?!皌he most costeffective”與“the lowest cost”是同義詞,“make it into a cream”與“process it into a cream”是同義的。故選D。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The scientific team says further testing is needed to ensure that the genetic engineering process does not produce any additional chemicals that could be dangerous to people.”可知,科學(xué)研究小組認(rèn)為要進(jìn)一步的測(cè)試,以確?;蚬こ踢^(guò)程不會(huì)產(chǎn)生任何可能對(duì)人類有害的額外化學(xué)物質(zhì)。由此可推斷這種基因工程的過(guò)程還需要進(jìn)一步的完善。故選C。 (4)考查推理判斷??v觀全文可知,本文介紹了最近的一項(xiàng)研究,一種新的轉(zhuǎn)基因水稻可以預(yù)防艾滋病病毒的感染。因此與人類的健康有關(guān),所以本文可能是出現(xiàn)在健康雜志上,故選B。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇科研類閱讀,考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息,同時(shí)根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。5.犇犇閱讀理解 Wolves strike fear into the hearts of many species, humans included. Our fear of them has brought them to the edge of dying out, as we have cruelly killed them as petitors and troublemakers. But researchers are discovering that the very fear they put into prey(被捕食者)species is exactly what helps make ecosystems(生態(tài))healthy. Yellowstone National Park is a typical example of just how wolves can help repair an ecosystem. An October 2018 study analyzed 40 years of research on large animals inside the park. Yellowstone has benefited from the reintroduction of wolves in ways that we did not anticipate, especially the plexity of biological interactions(互動(dòng)) in the park, explained Mark Boyce, a professor in the Department of Biological Sciences. We were really surprised at that and we39。d never have seen these responses if the park hadn39。t adopted ecologicalprocess management—allowing natural ecological processes to take place with least human intervention. After the wolves were reintroduced at Yellowstone, willow and cottonwood trees increased in number. The population of bears and bison also rose and what was once a ruling deerwolf interaction is now more diverse. To learn more about just how wolves are beneficial, a short documentary from Quest explains how the presence of wolves influences the behavior of deer, which eventually makes entire ecosystems more biologically diverse and healthy. In this documentary, biologist Aaron Wirsing explored why wolves and other top predators (捕食者)were needed for diverse ecosystems to develop. Using a simple video camera, Wirsing is gaining a unique view point on predatorprey relationships and changing the way we think about wolves. The research is one more piece of evidence for why protecting these top predators is important not just for wolves as a species, but for hundreds of species at every level of an ecosystem. The fear they bring along may be the very angle that helps save them from dying out.(1)What does the underlined word anticipate in paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Expect.B.Understand.C.Notice.D.Accept.(2)For what purpose was a documentary made? A.To introduce how wolves behave in the wild.B.To show how wolves benefit from ecosystems.C.To record how Aaron Wirsing observed wolves.D.To study what good wolves can do to ecosystems.(3)What is the significance of the research? A.It proves wolves feed on hundreds of species.B.It helps prove the importance of protecting wolves.C.It shows the plex relationships between species.D.It provides evidence that wolves are endangered animals.(4)What is the main idea of the passage? A.The fear of wolves is beneficial to ecosystems.B.The fear of wolves put them in danger of disappearing.C.Yellowstone National Park owes its healthy ecosystems to wolves.D.The introduction of wolves in Yellowstone National Park is a success.【答案】 (1)A(2)D(3)B(4)A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文,研究表明人類以及其他動(dòng)物對(duì)狼的恐懼對(duì)維持健康、平衡的生態(tài)系統(tǒng)是有益的,其中黃石公園灰狼的引進(jìn)就是一個(gè)典型的例子。 (1)考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第三段中的We were really surprised at that可知,黃石公園在意想不到的方面從重新引入狼中獲益。故選A。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段中的“To learn more about just how wolves are beneficial, a short documentary from Quest explains how the presence of wolves influences the behavior of deer, which eventually makes entire ecosystems more biologically diverse and healthy.”可知,拍攝紀(jì)錄片的目的是了解狼是如
