2019届高考英语二轮复习必刷题型：(8)阅读理解(八)含答案解析
阅读理解（八）1、Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.In BrazilBrazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned.But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced.Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided.When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others’ time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected.The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.1.The passage is mainly about ________.munication typesB.the workplace atmosphereC.customs and social mannersD.living conditions and standards2.Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?A.They put efficiency in the first place.B.They dislike face-to-face communication.C.They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible.D.They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.3.In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?A.When greeting seniorsB.When meeting the host aloneC.When attending a presentationD.When dining with business partners.4.In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?A.In Brazil.B.In Singapore.C.In the United Arab Emirates.D.In Switzerland.2、Food festivals around the worldStilton Cheese RollingMay Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans. Teams of four,dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors' lane(赛道). Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors are served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.Fiery Foods Festival—The Hottest Festival on EarthEvery year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction—food that is not just spicy(辛辣), buthot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Eood and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper—officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing's for sure—if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn't for you!La Tomatina—The World's Biggest Food FightOn the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts Ea Tomatina—the world's largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes—official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again—and for a much-needed wash!1.In the Stilton cheese rolling competition, competitors on each team must _____.A.wear various formal clothesB.roll a wooden cheese in their own laneC.kick or throw their cheesee a real cheese weighing about four kilos2.Where is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival held?A.In New Mexico.B.In the Caribbean.C.In Australia.D.In China.3.The celebration of La Tomatina lasts _______.A.three daysB.seven daysC.less than three daysD.more than seven days4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The chief prize for the Stilton cheese rolling competition is beer or port wine.B.More than 10,000 Chinese take part in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival.C.Thousands of spicy foods are on show in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival.D.An exciting tomato battle takes place at the beginning of La Tomatina.3 、Since I was first in China in 2012, my life, and China itself, have developed and changed a lot. My first China interaction was in 2012, when I came here with a friend. We traveled from Beijing to Hong Kong, all in 5 weeks. We had a fantastic time meeting local people, exploring beautiful places and eating delicious food. After this experience traveling across China and eating local food, I really wondered “How did I live without eating dumplings and eggplant on a weekly basis?” Well, I gues s I did, somehow, for 22 years!As my Chinese improved during my studies I became more independent and more aware of the possibilities of Waimai, or food home delivery. I suddenly noticed the thousands of Waimai drivers zooming across the roads on their motorcycles. On deep, dark Beijing winter days and rainy days, Waimai is like the holy grail and as I enjoyed my take - away dumplings I would think and laugh to myself, “How did I live before without being able to get Waimai?” Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 23 years!In mid-2015, I was back in China again for my master's degree. That's wh en I came across my first Mobike: “Oh, that’s a unique bike and surely it will get stolen soon ”, I thought as I passed on my own black bike. But one week passed and I saw it still there. Then the one Mobike sighting turned into two and three, and soon thousands and then seemingly overnight the streets of Beijing were flooded with orange and yellow wheels. Again, I pondered on how I ever lived without my shared bike account. Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 25 years!China today is a country still steeped in ancient knowledge and custom, yet one that is also bursting with new ideas and changes. Although some things will always stay the same, something else is constantly changing at a pace beyond comprehension. I’m sure as I continue my life here in Beij ing I will be swept up in the next new convenience of life that China’s rapid development is bringing out.1.According to the first paragraph, what impressed the author most might be ________.A.Chinese cultureB.Chinese foodC.Chinese peopleD.Chinese history2.The underlined words holy grail in Paragraph 2 probably means________.A.something preciousB.something deliciousC.something expensiveD.something unavailable3.What might be the author’s attitude towards Mobike after it boomed?A.Doubtful.B.CuriousC.Shocked.D.Regretful.4.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Chinese ancient wisdom has been replaced by new ideas.B.China is changing steadily and slowly.C.China will always stay as what it was.D.People in China will live a more convenient life in the future.4、Travelling by car in Switzerland is very easy, as villages and towns are very well marked and accessible. All green road signs indicate a highway or autobahn, blue signs are secondary roads and white signs back roads.*LimitationThe speed limit is 120 km/h (74 mph) on the autobahn, 80 km/h (50 mph) on secondary roads outside of towns and 50 km/h (30 mph) in towns if not indicated differently. Roadside automatic radar-triggered cameras help enforce these limits. Police are empowered to collect fines on the spot. The minimum age of a driver is 18 years. Seat belts are compulsory for front and rear-seat passengers. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08 .*Getting throughFor travelers with motor-homes, it's good that even large motor-homes can travel through the mountain passes. The roads are well maintained and large enough even for trucks. Remember, Switzerland is a very small Country (ca. 250x400 km) and you can easily drive from one end to another in 3 - 5 hours if you stick to the highways. If you plan to travel to Switzerland by car, take your time, you can plan to see lots of places in a short amount of time. Plan to drive for diving's sake, and try to minimally constrain yourself with time-related issues.The mountain resort towns of Braunwald, Murren, Wengen and Zermatt cannot be reached directly by private motor vehicle. Park at the railway or sky tram station and complete the journey via public transport. Trams always have priority. Buses have priority when leaving a bus stop. Traffic going up a mountain has priority. Some mountain roads require one-way traffic during certain hours only; these hours will be posted at either end of such roads.*FuelFuel stations along expressways are usually open from 6:00 a.m. to 10pm or midnight. Outside of open hours fuel is commonly available from automatic pumps that accept 10 and 20 SwF(瑞士法郎) notes or credit cards. Many stations accept major charge cards like Visa, MasterCard or American Express. Fuel price ranges from SFr. 1.75.- to 1.95.- depending on the oil price.1.What can you know from the text?A.The mountain roads are wide enough for motor-homes or trucks to go through.B.Travelers should try to save time to cover the places of interest in Switzerland.C.Travelers can ride motor-homes to visit Braunwald, Murren, Wengen and Zermatt.D.In Switzerland people over 16 are permitted to drive.2.What might NOT be available for travelers to pay fuel in Switzerland?A.Swiss FrancsB.Ali-payC.MasterCardD.American Express3.What type of writing is this text?A.Geography posterB.An activity announcementC.Travel journalD.Travel guide5、Studies show farmland in Africa is often lacking in important nutrients. But researchers say a combination of farming methods may help.Researchers wonder how to increase production without necessarily clearing more land to grow additional crops. American researchers say that can happen with greater use of an agricultural system called perennation. It mixes food crops with trees and perennial plants —those that return year after year.Soil scientist John Reganold says, "One of the major problems is that the soils are fairly poor in most of the regions. So how do you grow food on poor soils? There have to be food production systems that can build the soil and improve the field. ”Mr. Reganold says poor soils may have resulted from years of weathering that washed away many nutrients. He says some farmers may have done more harm than good.“They have been actually using farming practices where they’re not putting in organic matter. They're not putting in fertilizers. They can't afford those things. And it just runs the soil down. So they’re worsening the situation."The scientist says the word perennation defines three systems that are already used in Africa. The oldest of the three is called evergreen agriculture. This is where farmers plant trees with their crops. Farmers in Africa have been doing this for sixty years, but it seems to be growing in popularity.The method is gaining widespread use in countries such as Niger, Burkina Faso, Malawi and Zambia. The trees are planted among maize(玉米), millet or sorghum crops. They not only add nitrogen to the soil through their roots, but also through their leaves when they fall off and break down. At other times of the year, the trees can protect plants from strong sunlight.John Reganold says he knows of one woman who has had great success with perennation.“She’s a grandmother in her fifties. Her name is Rhoda Mang yan a and she started using this system about twenty years ago. And her yields initially were about a ton of maize. Now with a good year she gets four tons per hectare,four times what she was getting."1.The purpose of the passage is to ________.A.tell people how to increase productionB.introduce an agricultural system in AfricaC.introduce the oldest farming method in AfricaD.tell us how to prevent soils from being poor2.What does the underlined word “weathering” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A.Being exposed to wind and rain.B.Growing different crops.C.Being polluted severely.D.Being ploughed improperly.3.According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG?A.Perennation mixes food crops with trees and perennial plants.B.Poor soil is the main problem in increasing food production.C.Farmers may be more to blame for the present situation.D.American researchers first invented perennation.4.Why does John Reganold mention Rhoda Mang'yana?A.To show the method is very popular in Africa.B.Because she is an expert at farming production.C.To prove the farming method is effective.D.Because she produced more grains than anyone else in the country.6、The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem(生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna(大草原)surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat(栖息地).It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofedplant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.1.What is the passage mainly about?A.Disappearance of African elephants.B.Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.C.The effect of African elephants' search for food.D.The eating habit of African elephants.2.What do es the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean?A.Fixing the time.B.Worsening the state.C.Improving the quality.D.Deciding the conditions.3.What do we know about the open spaces in the passage?A.They result from the destruction of rain forests.B.They provide food mainly for African elephants.C.They are home to many endangered animals.D.They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.4.The passage is developed mainly by _____.A.showing the effect and then explaining the causesB.pointing out similarities and differencesC.describing the changes in space orderD.giving examples7、I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean t o an impatient society like ours? To understand the issue, let’s take a look at three types of “waits”.The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most annoying of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink(洗碗池) as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it’s full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait. Directions are very specif ic. “Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes.” I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.Turni ng one’s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optimists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn’t come to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you’re standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you’ll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, don’t be desperate. You’re probably just as busy as the next guy.1.While doing a Watched-Pot Wait, we tend to ___________.A.keep ourselves busyB.get absent-mindedC.grow anxiousD.stay focused2.What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?A.The Forced Wait requires some self-control.B.The Forced Wait makes people passive.C.The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions.D.The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain.3.What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait?A.It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait.B.It doesn't always bring the desired result.C.It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.D.It doesn't give people faith and hope.4.What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting?A.Take it seriously.B.Don't rely on others.C.Do something else.D.Don’t lose heart.5.The author supports his view by ____________.A.exploring various causes of "waits"B.describing detailed processes of "waits"C.analyzing different categories of "waits"D.revealing frustrating consequences of "waits"8、Anger is not wrong.I know this statement seems shocking and challenges the wildly popular “Positive Thinking” movement, which encourages us to “be full of positive energy” and“let go of our anger”.However, thetruth is that anger is just an emotion, and emotions are neither right nor wrong.We do not consciously choose them.We do, on the other hand, choose how we express our emotions and there are definitely right and wrong means of expression.The reason we're often urged to “keep a lid on” our anger is that few people ever learn proper and positive ways to express anger.Instead, we are taught that “anger is wrong”and “you should keep your anger inside”.But t hese messages don't change the fact that, for most of us, anger exists.Many popular “Positive Thinking” programmes assume that success comes from “controlling our emotions”and that this can be done by simply repeating positive statements.Interestingly, these positive slogans often include a lot of negativity. “Only losers complain!I am a winner!” is one popular saying.The belief that those who disagree with us are losers is actually quite negative and is often used as an excuse for rude language and personal attacks.When it comes to dealing with negative situations in our daily lives, the ability to reasonably express anger or disagreement is an important skill.But we must use balanced and non-violent methods to express our dissatisfaction.Frustration at unfair policies or treatment can certainly cause anger, but our anger can never be an excuse for abusing family members, damaging schools, attacking doctors or most seriously, engaging in terrorism.Instead of pretending that anger doesn't exist, we should start teaching appropriate means of dealing with anger.When we experience angry feelings in ourselves or others, what we should “let go of ” is the silly idea that we can remove anger with just a few sweet words.Instead, we should find reasonable solutions to the causes of those angry feelings.We need to accept anger as a natural emotion but stop using it as an excuse for violent and destructive behaviour.Anger isn't wrong, but failure to deal with it appropriately is.1.What is the write r's opinion about the “Positive Thinking” movement?A.It can help people control their negative feelings.B.It does not offer useful solutions for dealing with anger.C.Following such advice can improve people's chances for success.D.Most of the people who participate in such programmes are dishonest.2.The underlined expression “keep a lid on” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”.A.freely expressB.always forgiveC.hold insidepletely forget3.What information would have been useful to add to the final paragraph?A.The names of some good books that talk about anger issues.B.The viewpoints of people who hold the opposite opinion to the writer.C.Different studies that provide some evidence supporting the writer's beliefs.D.Some examples of how to deal with anger in a positive and beneficial way.4.The content of this passage is mostly based on________.A.factB.opinionC.theoryD.story答案以及解析1答案及解析：答案：1.C; 2.D; 3.B; 4.D解析：1.本文是说明文,题材为社会文化类。

【2019版】高考英语：阅读理解一轮练题(8)(含解析)
2019版高考英语阅读理解一轮练题（8）李仕才ANowadays more and more people are talking about genetically modified foods ( GM foods). GM foods develop from genetically modified organisms (有机体), which have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are much more precise where an organism is exposed to chemicals to create a nonspecific but stable change. For many people, the hightech production raises all kinds of environmental, ethical, health and safety problems. Particularly in countries with long farming traditions, the idea seems against nature.In fact, GM foods are already very much a part of our lives. They were first put on the market in 1996. A third of the corn and more than half the cotton grown in the U. S. last year was the product of biotechnology, according to the Department of Agriculture. More than 65 million acres of genetically modified crops will be planted in the US this year. The genetic genie is out of the bottle.However, like any new product entering the food chain, GM foods must be subjected to careful testing. In wealthy countries, the debate about biotech is not so fierce by the fact that they have a large number of foods to choose from, and a supply that goes beyond the needs. In developing countries desperate to feed fastgrowing and underfed populations, the matter is simpler and much more urgent: do the benefits of biotech outweigh the risks?The statistics on population growth and hunger are disturbing. Last year the world's population reached 6 billion. The UN states that nearly 800 million people around the world are unhealthy. About 400 million women of childbearing age don' t have enough iron, which means their babies are exposed to various birth defeats.As many as 100 million children suffer from vitamin A deficiency, a leading cause of blindness.How can biotech help? Genetic engineering is widely used to produce plants and animals with better nutritional values. Biotechnologists have developed genetically modified rice and they are working on other kinds of nutritionally improved crops. Biotech can also improve farming productivity in places where food shortages are caused by crop damage attributable to drought, poor soil andcrop viruses.1.The passage mainly talks about________.A. the world's food problemB. the development in biotechC. the genetically modified foodsD. the way to solve food shortages2.According to the passage, GM foods________.A. will replace naturally grown foodsB. are far better than naturally grown foodsC. may help to solve the problem of poor nutritionD. can cause serious trouble in developing countries3.The underlined sentence “The genetic genie is out of the bottle.”in Paragraph 2 probablymeans that________.A.GM foods are available everywhereB. the technology in producing GM foods is advancedC. genetic technology may have uncontrollable powersD. genetic technology has come out of laboratories into markets4.What's the writer's attitude towards GM foods?A. Enthusiastic.B. Cautious.C. Disapproving.D. Unbelievable.【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了转基因食品及其对人类生活的影响。

At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device（装置）that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence（节奏）with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user's typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people's identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it's connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.It also doesn't require a new type of technology that people aren't already familiarwith. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word "touch" four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.（1）Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?A.To reduce pressure on keys.B.To improve accuracy in typing.C.To replace the password system.D.To cut the cost of e-space protection.（2）What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?puters are much easier to operate.B.Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.C.Typing patterns vary from person to person.D.Data security measures are guaranteed.（3）What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?A.It'll be environment-friendly.B.It'll reach consumers soon.C.It'll be made of plastics.D.It'll help speed up typing.（4）Where is this text most likely from?A.A diary.B.A guidebook.C.A novel.D.A magazine.4. During the rosy years of elementary school（小学）, I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes, which allowed me to keep my high social status． I was the queen of the playground． Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and cool kids． They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found myself．Popularity is a well﹣explored subject in social psychology． Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers． The likables' plays﹣well﹣with﹣others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump﹣start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, are employed ever after in life and work． Then there's the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence: status born of power and even dishonorable behavior．Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed, Dr． Prinstein's studies show unpleasant consequences． Those who were highest in status in high school, as well as those least liked in elementary school, are "most likely to engage（从事）in dangerous and risky behavior．"In one study, Dr． Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescents, scoring the least liked, the most liked and the highest in status based on student surveys（调查研究）． "We found that the least well﹣liked teens had become more aggressive over time toward their classmates． But so had those who were high in status． It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us．"Dr． Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play date﹣sharing, kindness, openness ﹣ carry over to later years and make you better able to relate and connect with others．In analyzing his and other research, Dr． Prinstein came to another conclusion: Not only is likability related to positive life outcomes, but it is also responsible for those outcomes, too． "Being liked creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that help somebody gain an advantage, " he said．（1）What sort of girl was the author in her early years of elementary school？________A.

2019高考英语二轮阅读理解讲与练（解析）-网络的发展与问题（1）In a mouse that can speak acceptable? How about a dog with human hands or feet? Scientists, the people that know how to make such things happen, are now thinking about whether such experiments are morally right or not.On November 10, Britain’s Academy of Medical Sciences launched a study on the use of animals with human materials in scientific research.The work is expected to take at least a year, but its leaders hope it will lead to guidelines for scientists in Britain and around the world on how far they can go mixing human genes into animals in search of ways to fight human disease.“Do these constructs challenge our idea what it is to be human?” asked Martain Borow, a professor of medical genetics at Cambridge University and chair of a 14－member group looking into the disease.“It is important that we consider these questions now so that appropriate boundaries are recognized and research is able to fulfill its potential.”Using human materials in animals is not new. Scientists have already created monkeys that have a human form of the Huntingdon’s gene so they can study how the disease develops; and mice with livers made with human cells are being used to study the effects of new drugs.”However, scientists say the technology of putting ever greater amounts of human genetic materials into animals is spreading quickly around the world, raising the possibility that some scientists in some places may want to go further than is morally acceptable.“There is a whole raft of new scientific techniques that will make it not only easier but also more important to be able to do these cross－species experiments,” Borow said.Last year, there was a lively debate over new laws allowing the creation of human －animal embryos foe experiments.On one side of the debate were religious groups, who claimed that such science interferes with nature. Opposing －them－ were scientists who pointed out that such experiments were vital to the research on cures for diseases.Borow said he and his colleagues did not want to see such arguments again and are acting now so that they can influence such debate rather than have to react to it. The experts will publish reports after the end of the study in which they give definitions for animal embryos with human genes or cells, look at safety and animal welfare issues, and consider the right legal framework to work within.

"Anyone with an Internet connection anywhere in the world can use our online courses," Harvard President Drew Faust said during a meeting to announce the plan.MIT has offered a program called OpenCourseWare for ten years that makes materials from more than 2,000 classes free online. It has been used by more than 100 million people. In December, the school announced it also would begin offering a special certificate, known as MITx. for people who complete certain online courses. Harvard has long offered courses to a wider population through a similar program.The MITx will serve as the foundation for the new learning platform.MIT President Susan Hockfield said more than 120,000 people signed up for the first MITx course. She said Harvard and MIT hope other universities will join them in offering courses on the open-source edX platform."Fasten your seatbelts," Hockfield said.Other universities, including Stanford. Yale and Camegic-Mellon, have been experimenting with teaching to a global population online.The Harvard-MIT program will be monitored by a not-for-profit (fS^JA) organization based in Cambridge, to be owned equally by the two universities. Both MIT and Harvard have provided S30 million to start the program. They also plan lo use the cdX plalfonn to research how students learn and which teaching methods and tools are most successful.53.

If we want e-mail to continue to be useful, we need special laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件) a crime.This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well. Many spam emails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on e-mail on e-mail for their Comployees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repay their networks. These computer problems raise production costs ofcompanies ,which are, in the end, passed on to the consumer.For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to legislate (立法) against spam. Spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.57.What does the underlined word “correspondence”in the Paragraph 1 probablymean?A. messagesB. ideasC. connectionsD.programs58.According to the text, what is the major cause of the flooding spam?A. Companies rely on e-mail for communications.B. More people in the world communicate by e-mail.C. Many computer viruses contain spam e-mail.D. More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.59.According to Paragraph 3,who is the final victim of spam?A. The businessB. The advertiserC. The employeeD. The consumer60.What is the purpose of the text?A. To informB. To educateC. To persuadeD. To instruct【文章导读】随着网络信息技术旳发展，越来越多旳人们实用网络邮箱来传递信息，但现在垃圾邮件旳泛滥已经成为网络用户们深恶痛绝旳事情，人们呼吁立法来阻止垃圾邮件旳泛滥.57. A.词义猜测题.根据本文中旳e-mail一词以及endless series of advertisements 可以推断出correspondence在此处意思是：信件，垃圾邮件，由此可知本题选A. 58. D.推理判断题.由第二自然段中旳As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails.一句可知本题选D.59. D.推理判断题.根据本段旳最后一句可知本题选D.60. C.推理判断题.通读全文可知本文作者摆出了垃圾邮件旳危害，其目旳是说服立法人员尽快出台法律阻止垃圾邮件旳蔓延，故本题选C.·错题集57. 本题为词意猜测题目，出错率往往比较高，本题很多考生选择了D项，主要是因为他们看到了advertisements一词，认为既然是广告，就应该是栏目、节目等.实际他们没有意识到这里讲旳主要是e-mail，而e-mail主要是信息，也就是message.58. 本题很多同学从我们旳日常出发，选择了A项和B项，实际本题有比较准确旳意群来解决这个问题，但是很多同学没有去找，只是根据自己旳常识判断，因而选错.。

（现代科技）李仕才【话题导读】灯柱伞是一种有雨水感应伞的灯柱，这样人们在忘记带雨伞时就不会挨淋了。
LampbrellaYou can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. ①But designer Mikhail Belvacv doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.The designer says he ②come up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street ad saw the street lamps ③lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy built into a street lamp.” he said.The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella ④on demand. Sensors then ensure that the umbrella offers p edestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.⑤In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone’s using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on my street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.灯柱伞你不会每次都预测到大雨到来或者记得带上雨伞。
但设计师Mikhail Belvacv认为出门前忘记看天气预报不应该导致你淋湿。
这就是他创造灯柱伞的原因，一种有雨水感应伞的灯柱。
设计师说他在俄罗斯街头看到人们被雨水淋湿之后提出了这个想法。
“有一次，我在圣彼得堡中央街上开车，看到淋湿的人们躲到亮着的路灯下躲雨。
我想在街灯上安装一盏伞蓬一定很合适。
”他说。
灯柱伞是一盏外形标准的街灯配有一个雨伞蓬。
它内部有根据需要可自动开闭的电动马达。
传感器保证了无论何时下雨可向行人提供遮蔽。
除了下雨传感器，在玻璃纤维的街灯里也安装有可以检测是否有人需要灯柱伞的360°运动传感器。
如果有三分钟没有人用她就会自动关闭。
据设计者称，灯柱伞会以相对低的速度移动，因此不会对行人造成伤害。
除此之外，它会接地以避免可能的雷击。
每个路灯伞会为多位行人提供足够的遮蔽。
它安装在离地面2米高的地方，它唯一的不足是可能给高个子行人带来危险。
尽管还没有把这种产品付诸生产的计划，Belyacv最近把他的发明介绍给了墨西哥政府并且坚持这个发明将会安装在我的街道上，因为那儿人流量大却并不提供避雨的檐篷。
重点单词:1. canopy ['kænəpɪ] n.天篷；华盖；遮篷2. pedestrian [pi'destriən] n.行人；步行者3. fiberglass ['faɪbɚ,glæs] n. 玻璃纤维；玻璃丝重点短语 / 亮点句式：1. But designer Mikhail Belvacv doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet.但设计师Mikhail Belvacv认为出门前忘记看天气预报不应该导致你淋湿。
该句中that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet为宾语从句，其中forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out味宾语从句中的主语。
result in结果，导致。
