ke care to control gene technology.”但我相信克隆嬰兒不會大量出現(xiàn),因為世界上大多數(shù)夫婦可以用非常正常的方式生育。故選B。 (3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解??芍谌沃饕榻B了基因技術(shù)可以被應(yīng)用于治愈家族病。但是基因技術(shù)可以完美地解決這個問題。 (2)考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第二段中的“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.”基因技術(shù)所能做的最偉大的事情就是治愈嚴(yán)重的疾病,而這些疾病是目前醫(yī)生們幾乎無能為力的,比如癌癥和心臟病,及劃線詞所在句“Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers.”每年都有數(shù)百萬人被這兩名殺手殺害,可知,每年造成數(shù)百萬人死亡的元兇就是癌癥和心臟病。Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity【答案】 (1)C(2)A(3)B(4)A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了基因技術(shù),詳細(xì)講述了基因技術(shù)的好處。Telling people the advantages of gene technologyC.Expressing the writer39。Using gene technology, human babies can be cloned.D.Using gene technology, people with hereditary diseases can have more living days.B.Gene technology can help people to give birth of a baby.D.How gene technology can be applied in the field of treating hereditary diseases.B.Hereditary diseases and cancer.(2)What39。The two murderers who killed the cloned baby.C. therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not e out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.(1)What does these two killers in the second paragraph refer to? A. Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial(皇室) family being a good example, have hereditary(遺傳的) diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it and a healthy child will be born. 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. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people. 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查,是一篇科研類閱讀,考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“the tiger beetle(虎甲蟲)runs faster than its eyes can keep up,basically being blind,which requires it to stop periodically to reevaluate its prey39。根據(jù)第四段中的“The research showed flies ‘observe motion in a shorter time than our own eyes can achieve,’which allows them to avoid being hit.”可知,家蠅觀察物體運動的時間比我們?nèi)搜鬯苓_(dá)到的時間要短,這使得它們能夠避免被擊中;再結(jié)合第五段中的“but they can make good decisions very quickly.”可知,它們可以很快做出好的決定,也就是說它們可以盡快處理收到的信息,故選B。根據(jù)第二段中的“the importance of time perception in animals where the ability to perceive time in a very short time may be the difference between life and death for fast moving creatures.”可知,對于能快速移動的動物而言,在極短的時間內(nèi)感知時間的能力可能是生與死的區(qū)別,由此可知,Kevin Healy說的意思是快速移動的動物的生存依賴于它們對時間的感知能力,故選A。s ability to perceive(感知)time is linked to their pace of life.”可知,據(jù)一組研究人員稱,動物感知時間的能力與它們的生活節(jié)奏有關(guān),由此可知,文中提到的這個研究是關(guān)于動物的時間感知的,故選D。 (1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。D.Prevent itself from being blind.C.They can send information to brain more quickly than to their eyes.(4)What will a tiger beetle have to do to catch a moving prey? A.They can process the information as quickly as they receive it.C.Animals with poor ability of time perception have a shorter life.(3)Why can houseflies avoid being hit? A.Animals with quicker pace of life have better perception of time.C.s ment mean in ? A.D.Lifetime of small animals.B.Our results suggest that time perception offers an as yet unstudied dimension along which animals can specialize and there is considerable range to study this system in more detail.(1)What is the research mentioned in the passage mainly about? A.In parison, the tiger beetle(虎甲蟲)runs faster than its eyes can keep up, basically being blind, which requires it to stop periodically to reevaluate its prey39。One example of this phenomenon at work, the authors say, is the housefly and its ability to avoid being hit. The research showed flies observe motion in a shorter time than our own eyes can achieve, which allows them to avoid being hit. Our results lend support to the importance of time perception in animals where the ability to perceive time in a very short time may be the difference between life and death for fast moving creatures. mented lead author Kevin Healy from Trinity College Dublin.According to a team of researchers, an animal39。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,詞義猜測,推理判斷和主旨大意四個題型的考查,是一篇故事類閱讀,要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上,進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進(jìn)行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。這就是美國小姐。通讀全文可知,本文介紹了Sioma大膽地提出了美國大城市用水質(zhì)量存在的問題, Flint市市長高度贊揚了她。故選C。再結(jié)合第六段中的 “Emily Sioma wanted to make an impact,” Emily Sioma想要制造影響;以及” one Twitter user wrote on Sunday. Regardless of whether you agree with what she said or not she is shining light on a pressing issue一名Twitter用戶周日寫道。 (3)考查推理判斷??芍?市長認(rèn)為Emily Sioma是一個勇敢時且大公無私的人。s not a selfish person.”我為她的勇敢喝彩。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。s going on with water quality standards”她選擇利用這個機會來引起人們的注意,并持續(xù)關(guān)注Flint正在發(fā)生的事情,水質(zhì)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)正在發(fā)生的事情, 可推知,Sioma在會議中提出了美國城市面臨的水質(zhì)問題,由此可知,此處畫線詞water crisis應(yīng)指美國城市的水質(zhì)問題,與D項意思相近。根據(jù)第三段中的“From the state with 84 percent of the U. S. fresh water but none for its residents to drink”該州擁有美國84%的淡水,但卻沒有可供居民飲用的水;和第四段中的“she chose to use this opportunity to bring attention to, and keep attention on, what39。s influence. some background information.(4)Which of the following is the best title for the passage? Mayor of Flint Twitter Voice ABC Competition Miss America【答案】 (1)D(2)B(3)C(4)D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文,Sioma在一次會議中大膽地提出了美國大城市用水質(zhì)量存在的問題,F(xiàn)lint市的市長高度贊揚了她并認(rèn)為她是一個勇敢且大公無私的人,網(wǎng)上的人們也表達(dá)了對此事的看法。 s going on with this broken infrastructure(基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施) that we have across the country. s going on in Flint, what39。s decision to speak about the Flin
