AThe legislature (立法机构) finds that the cigarette is considered one of the deadliest products in human history. So begins a new bill introduced in Hawaii’s State House, calling for a ban on cigarette sales in the state by 2024.Hawaii has some of the most restrictive cigarette laws in the nation. In 2016, it became the first state to raise the age to buy cigarettes to 21. Now, its new bill calls for raising the cigarette-buying age to 30 by 2020, up to 40, 50 and 60 in each following year, and up to 100 by 2024. That would effectively clear Hawaii’s store shelves of cigarettes, although tourist could still bring them in. The age limits would not apply to e-cigarettes, cigars or chewing tobacco.And curiously, Hawaii would offer its centenarians (百岁老人) the chance to buy cigarettes near the end of their life—if they could find them.Richard Creagan, the bill’s sponsor, said that he hoped the bill could represent an “endgame” for the cigarette problem, and that it might be easier to pass the bill in Hawaii than in a mainland state.“On the mainland they have more trouble with this because they have states around them that are selling cigare ttes,” he said. “We don’t have any states around us. And that’s why I thought it could be done here, and it would be kind of an example for the rest of the nation and the world.”Creagan told the Hawaii Tribune-Herald he’s confident that the bill will survive any court challenges.In 2015, the National Academy of Sciences released a report arguing that increasing the age to buy tobacco to 21 would have a “considerable impact” on the age at which someone takes their first puff. The report also suggested “if someone is not a regular tobacco user by age 25, it is highly unlikely he or she will become one.”21.What can we know about Hawaii from Paragraph 2?A.Hawaii has no cigarette laws at present.B.The cigarette-buying age will be 50 in 2023.C.People under age 21 are prohibited to buy cigarettes.D.All cigarette stores in the state have been closed.22.The underlined words in the last paragraph mean “”.A.buys their first pack of cigarettesB.smokes their first cigaretteC.quits smoking for the first timeD.first offers cigarettes to others23.What is the main idea of the text?A.Hawaii is considering a bill to ban cigarette sales.B.Hawaii will lower the cigarette-buying age.C.Hawaii is to ban smoking in its neighboring states.D.Hawaii has released a report on the harm of smoking.BStanford University has begun an investigation following claims that some of its staff knew long ago of Chinese scientist He Jiankui’s plans to create the world’s first gene-edited babies.A university official said a review was under way of interactions some faculty members had with He, who was educated at Stanford. Several professors including He’s former research adviser have said that they knew or strongly suspected that He wanted to try gene editing on embryos (胚胎).The Chinese genetic scientist posted a video on YouTube in November 2018. He claimed in the video that he had used a gene-editing tool Crispr-Cas9 to modify (修改) a particular gene in two embryos before they were placed in their mother’s womb (子宫). He, who works in a lab in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, said the twin girls, known as Lulu and Nana, were born using an egg that was modified. He focused on HIV infection prevention because the father is HIV positive. “Now the father has a reason to live, a reason to work, he has a purpose,” He said.Editing the genes of embryos, which can change other genes, is banned in many countries because DNA changes are passed to future generations and could have unforeseen effects on the entire gene pool.China’s national health commission ordered officials to “seriously investigate” He’s claims. Shenzhen’shealth and family planning commission said it was investigating the review process around He’s work.Research institutions connected to He have distanced themselves from him. “This research work wa s carried out by Professor He Jiankui outside of the school,” said the Southern University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen. It called his research a “serious violation of academic ethics (道德)”.24.What did He Jiankui claim in the video posted on Y ouTube?A.He was wrong in trying gene editing on embryos.B.He prevented the twins from developing cancer.C.He modified a gene in Lulu and Nana’s embryos.D.He was influenced by his research adviser in Stanford.25.Why is gene editing of embryos banned in many countries?A.The effect on the whole gene pool is unpredictable.B.It causes disabilities to the gene-edited babies.C.The future generations will rely on gene editing.D.It will affect all the healthy genes of the embryos.26.How did the university in Shenzhen react to He’s video claim?A.It ordered investigations to be conducted.B.It called the incident a big shame for the nation.C.It declared not related to He’s research.D.It kept a distance from the media.27.Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.The USA Bans Gene-editingB.What Are the Ethics of Medical Treatment?C.Scientists Find the Idea of Gene-edited Babies CrazyD.Stanford Investigates Links to Scientist in Gene Editing.CCloseness and independence are both important in our life. Though all humans need both of them, womentend to focus on the first and men on the second. It is as if their lifeblood ran in different directions.These differences can give women and men differing views of the same situation, as they did in the case of couple I will call Tracy and Brian. When Brian’s old high school friend called him at work and announced he’d be in town on business the following month, Brian invited him to stay for the weekend. That evening he informed Tracy that they were going to have a houseguest, and that he and his friend would go out together the first night to chat like old times. Tracy was upset. She was going to be away on business the week before, and the Friday night when Brian would be out with his friend would be her first night home. But what upset her the most was that Brian had made these plans on his own and informed her of them, rather than discussing them with her before extending the invitation.Tracy would never make plans, for a weekend or an evening, without first checking with Brian. She can’t understand why he doesn’t show her the same courtesy and consideration that she shows him. But when she protests, Brian says, “I can’t say to my friend, ‘I have to ask my wife for permission’!”To Brian, checking with his wife means seeking permission, which implies that he is not independent, not free to act on his own. To Tracy, checking with her husband makes her feel good to know and show that she is involved with someone, that her life is bound up with someone else’s.Tracy and Brian both felt upset by this incident because it cut to the core of their primary concerns. Tracy was hurt because she sensed a failure of closeness in their relationship: He didn’t care about her as much as she cared about him. And he was hurt because he felt she was trying to control him and limit his freedom.28.What is the primary purpose of the author in writing this passage?A.To educate the reader on how to maintain good family relationships.B.To tell the reader how to make close connections with other people.C.To suggest the best way of coping with family conflicts.D.To explain the difference in communication styles between men and women.29.What would Tracy most probably do if she plans to buy something expensive?A.She would discuss with Brian.B.She would simply decide on her own.C.She would ask her friends for advice.D.She would buy Brian something expensive first.30.According to the passage, compared with men, women tend to .A.negotiate before the final decisionB.get hurt easily in social communicationsC.emphasize more on controllingD.emphasize more on independence第二节（共5 个小题；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。
