but raised largely in Oxfordshire，Mrs．May was educated in a grammar school in the village of Wheatley．The young Theresa Brasier threw herself into village life．Friends recall a tall，fashion-conscious young woman who from an early age spoke of her ambition to be the first woman prime minister．Like Margaret Thatcher，she went to Oxford University to study．In 1976，in her third year，she met her husband Philip May．The story went that they were introduced at a Conservative Association disco and got married four years later.Her university friend Pat Frankland，speaking in 2011 on a BBC Radio 4，said：“I cannot remember a time when she did not have political ambitions．”There are no tales of drunken student celebration，but Pat Frankland and other friends say May was not the serious figure she would later come to be seen as，saying she had a sense of fun and a full social life．After graduating with a degree in geography，May went to work in the Bank of England．But it was already clear that she saw her future in politics．Like Margaret Thatcher，it took a bit of time for her to find hers．She first dipped her toe in the water in 1992，when she gained a Labour seat in North West Durham．She entered Parliament in 1997 and Theresa was appointed Home Secretary(内政大臣)in May 2010 and became the longest-serving Conservative Home Secretary for over a century．During this time she oversaw reductions in crime，reform of the police，and the introduction of the landmark Modern Slavery Act．Following her election as Leader of the Conservative Party，Theresa was appointed Prime Minister of the United Kingdom on 13th July 2016．24．Theresa May got married in ________________．A．1976 B．1980 C．1992 D．199725．According to the text，what contributes most to May’s becoming the Prime Minister?A．Her consistent

graduation．C．They spent their childhood in the countryside．D．They got to know their husbands in university．27．What do we know about Theresa May?A．She was a successful Home Secretary．B．She was popular with her classmates．C．She was serious when she was young．D．She majored in politics in university．CIt may sound strange，but scientists are celebrating the survival and spread of tens of thousands of mosquitoes they released in Northeastern Australia．The whole thing makes more sense when you know that these mosquitoes are not just any ordinary bloodsuckers．They are infected with a type of bacteria that prevents the spread mosquito—borne viruses．The bacterium，called Wolbachia，is present naturally in nearly two-thirds of all insect species，although it’s no t usually found in Aedes aegypti(埃及伊蚊)，the mosquitos responsible for spreading viruses like Zika，dengue，and yellow fever.But when researchers introduced Wolbachia into mosquitoes in the lab a decade ago，the bacteria destroyed the mosquitoes，making them unable to spread their viruses into humans，which gives public health experts hope that by releasing big group of Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes into problem areas，they will spread Wolbachia to the local populations—making them unable to spread viral diseases to people．But a big question was ，will the Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes remain where they are 1et loose or will they move enough to mix with the wild ones ?So researchers in Australia ran a test．In 2013，they released some 35，000 Wolbachia—carrying Aedes aegypti at one site，131，000 at a second site，and 286，000 at a third site，all in the city of Caims．And they tracked the insects’distribution．Seems the infected mosquitoes spread outward from the two larger introduction areas at a slow but steady rate of about 100 to 200 meters per year．The mosquitoes in the smaller group remained where they were．The results indicate that Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes could be effective against viral diseases，if they’re applied over larger areas．In the public health community，that finding may cause real excitement．28．What is a big challenge for the researchers?A．They can’t raise enough Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes in the lab．B．They can’t stop the Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes from being killed．C．They can’t track the W olbachia-infected mosquitoes once they are released．D．They can’t control the orbit of the Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes in problem areas．29．What does the underlined word“them”in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Humans．B．Areas．C．Mosquitoes．D．Viruses．30．What can we infer from the text?A．Wolbachia is certain to prevent viral diseases．B．Most mosquitoes spread the virus of Zika．C．Great efforts have been made on the research．D．Mosquitoes with Wolbachia will not suck blood．31．What does the text mainly talk about?A．An introduction to the harm of mosquitoes．B．An experiment on ways to kill mosquitoes．C．An argument about whether to apply Wolbachia．D．A new method of defeating mosquito-borne viruses．DThe cook lays the piece of beef down the grill and gives it a press with a spatula(锅铲)．And there comes unmistakable sizzle(咝咝声)and smell．She turns over the beef and gives it another press，lets it sit，presses it，and pulls it off the grill and onto a small round bun．And now，here it is，a delicious hamburger．However，this is no diner，and this is no ordinary cook．She’s not wearing an apron，but a lab coat and safety glasses to protect her eyes，standing in a lab．Over the last six years the company called Impossible Trends has done something not quite impossible，but extremely beyond imagination：experimenting on a plant-based burger that smells，tastes，looks，and even feels like real beef．Biting into an Impossible Burger is to bite into a future in which human has to feed an exploding population but without further endangering the earth by raising more farm animals．Some scientists say this is definitely good news．For farm animals，cows in particular，consume unbelievable amounts of food and water(up to 40，000 liters a year per cow)and take up vast stretches of land．What makes a burger a burger? The smell，for one，and taste and texture(质感)，all working together to create something that feels“animal”．Now，developing a“beef”burger without any previous experience or knowledge requires a variety of different elements that mix together and have an effect on each other，transforming as the plant-based beef cooks．Trying a plant-based burger that’s indistinguishable from the real thing，you can even recreate as many of other flavors as possible．And most importantly you can do it all without using a cow!32．What is the good news according to the scientists?A．Human can eat more hamburgers in the future．B．People can tell the plant-based burgers from the real ones．C．Plant-based hamburgers are easier to make than the beef ones．D．Human can eat hamburgers without killing cows．33．What can be inferred from the text?A．More natural materials and land will be saved．B．There will be no cows on the farm in the future．C．More farm animals will be killed in the lab-kitchen．D．The plant-based burg ers will be people’s best choice in the future．34．What does the author think of the Impossible Burger?A．Frightening．B．Promising．C．Ridiculous．D．Poisonous．35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．An Unusual CookB．The Impossible TrendsC．The Impossible BurgerD．An Unusual Kitchen第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
