She said she let natural places inspire her buildings, such as this opera house on the Pearl River.(广州大剧院由伊拉克出生的建筑师扎哈·哈迪德设计。她说，她让自然场所激发她的建筑设计灵感，比如这座位于珠江上的歌剧院)”可知，广州大剧院的建筑师受到了大自然的启发。故选C。 B “Mom, I got into the University of Delaware!” I still remember how thrilled I was to be the first one in my family to have the opportunity to study abroad. I was so excited that I did a countdown every single day leading up to move in day at the university. However, just a few weeks after I got there, I found it very difficult to adapt to a different country, culture, and a strict curriculum. I knew studying in a foreign university was going to be hard, but the first exam still shocked — me I got a 58%, the lowest in my life. Worse still, since my day-to-day experiences and interests were so different from the American students’, I was struggling to make friends. I felt like a complete loser and kept thinking maybe I should just give up. But then it occurred to me that I was not studying just for myself, but to live up to my family’s expectations. Having made up my mind to push myself forward, I came up with a plan to make improvements. The plan was not only about study, but also about my eating and leisure time. I also planned weekly goals on how to make friends, such as “you will talk to someone at the dining hall, and you will not be scared!” Looking back, I find it was definitely embarrassing to plan my days like this, but I did it and made it. I was able to interact with others without looking like an outsider and even made some friends. I even began to teach others about my country, Panama. I told them about typical cultural differences between Panama and the US. It was really exciting to see them eager to learn more about my country. Now I am a senior, confident, strong and smart. My freshman-year self is extremely proud of how far I have come. The coming graduation surely makes me sad, but I’m sure it’s not the ending, but the beginning of the many more goals I will accomplish. 24. How did the author feel after entering college? A. Thrilled. B. Stressed. C. Disappointed. D. Proud. 25. What stopped the writer from giving up? A. His interest in knowledge. B. His longing for friends. C. His sense of responsibility. D. His desire for a degree. 26. How did the writer overcome the difficulties? A. By turning to his parents. B. By interacting with outsiders. C. By carrying out an overall plan. D. By engaging in leisure activities. 27. Which of the following best describes the writer? A. Proud and productive. B. Sensitive and cautious. C. Optimistic and warm-hearted. D. Determined and self-motivated. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍作者出国留学的经历，从最初的不适应，想要放弃到最后的自信，取得成就的过程。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“However, just a few weeks after I got there, I found it very difficult to adapt to a different country, culture, and a strict curriculum. (然而，就在我到那里几个星期后，我发现很难适应一个不同的国家、文化和严格的课程。)”和第二段“I knew studying in a foreign university was going to be hard, but the first exam still shocked — me I got a 58%, the lowest in my life. Worse still, since my day-to-day experiences and interests were so different from the American students’, I was struggling to make friends. I felt like a complete loser and kept thinking maybe I should just give up. (我知道在国外大学学习很难，但第一次考试还是让我震惊，我只得了58%，这是我一生中最低的。更糟糕的是，由于我的日常经历和兴趣与美国学生大不相同，我很难交到朋友。我觉得自己是个彻头彻尾的失败者，一直在想也许我应该放弃。)”可知作者进入大学后遇到很多困难，所以应该感到有压力的，故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I felt like a complete loser and kept thinking maybe I should just give up. But then it occurred to me that I was not studying just for myself, but to live up to my family’s expectations. (我觉得自己是个彻头彻尾的失败者，一直在想也许我应该放弃。但我突然意识到，我学习不仅仅是为了自己，而是为了不辜负家人的期望。)”可知想到了不能辜负家人的期望，作者没有放弃在国外学习，所以是责任感阻止作者放弃国外学习，故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Having made up my mind to push myself forward, I came up with a plan to make improvements. The plan was not only about study, but also about my eating and leisure time. I also planned weekly goals on how to make friends, such as “you will talk to someone at the dining hall, and you will not be scared!” (下定决心向前推进之后，我想出了一个改进的计划。这个计划不仅是关于学习，还包括我的饮食和休闲时间。我还计划了如何交朋友的每周目标，比如“你会在食堂和别人说话，你不会害怕!”)”可知作者通过实施一个计划来克服困难的，故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Having made up my mind to push myself forward, I came up with a plan to make improvements. The plan was not only about study, but also about my eating and leisure time. I also planned weekly goals on how to make friends, such as “you will talk to someone at the dining hall, and you will not be scared!” Looking back, I find it was definitely embarrassing to plan my days like this, but I did it and made it. I was able to interact with others without looking like an outsider and even made some friends. I even began to teach others about my country, Panama. I told them about typical cultural differences between Panama and the US. It was really exciting to see them eager to learn more about my country. (下定决心向前推进之后，我想出了一个改进的计划。这个计划不仅是关于学习，还包括我的饮食和休闲时间。我还计划了如何交朋友的每周目标，比如“你会在食堂和别人说话，你不会害怕!”回想起来，我发现像这样计划我的日常确实很尴尬，但我做到了，并且成功了。我能够与他人互动，而不像一个局外人，甚至交了一些朋友。我甚至开始向别人介绍我的国家——巴拿马。我告诉他们巴拿马和美国之间典型的文化差异。看到他们渴望更多地了解我的国家，真是令人兴奋。)”可知作者通过制定计划并且坚定的执行下去，最后获得成功，所以可推断作者是一个意志坚定并且有上进心的人，故选D。 C Desperately ill and seeking a miracle, David Bennett Sr. took the last bet on Jan. 7. when be became the first human to be successfully transplanted with the heart of a pig. “It creates the beat; it creates the pressure; it is his heart,” declared Bartley Griffith, director of the surgical team that performed the operation at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Bennett, 57, held on through 60 tomorrows, far longer than any previous patient who’d received a heart from another species. His remarkable run offered new hope that such procedures, known as xenotransplantation (异种移植), could help relieve the shortage of replacement organs, saving thousands of lives each year. The earliest attempts at xenotransplantation of organs, involving kidneys from rabbits, goats, and other animals, occurred in the early 20th century, decades before the first successful human-to-human transplants. Rejection, which occurs when the recipient’s body system recognizes the donor organ as a foreign object and attacks it, followed within hours or days. Results improved after some special drugs arrived in the 1960s, but most recipients still died after a few weeks. The record for a heart xenotransplant was set in 1983, when an infant named Baby Fae survived for 20 days with an organ from a baboon (狒狒). In recent years, however, advances in gene editing have opened a new possibility: re-edit some genes in animals to provide user-friendly spare parts. Pigs could be ideal for this purpose, because they’re easy to raise and reach adult human size in months. Some biotech companies. including Revivicor, are investing heavily in the field. The donor pig was offered by Revivicor from a line of animals in which 10 genes had been re-edited to improve the heart’s condition. Beyond that, the pig was raised in isolation and tested regularly for viruses that could infect humans or damage the organ itself. This medical breakthrough provided an alternative for the 20% of patients on the heart transplant waiting list who die while waiting or become too sick to be a good candidate. 28. What does the underlined word “run” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Donating his heart to a patient. B. Performing the heart operation. C. Living for 60 days after the operation. D. Receiving a new heart from a pig. 29. Which aspect of xenotransplantation does paragraph 3 mainly focus on? A. Its history. B. Its procedure. C. Its consequence. D. Its significance. 30. What makes pigs ideal for providing spare parts in xenotransplantation? A. Their growth rate and health condition. B. Their life pattern and resistance to viruses. C. Their easiness of keeping and rapid growth. D. Their investment value and natural qualities. 31. Why was Bennett’s operation regarded as a breakthrough? A. It introduced new medications to prevent organ rejection. B. It proved the potential for using organs from various animals. C. It guaranteed a sufficient supply of donor pigs for transplants. D. It offered a prospect of replacement organs through gene editing. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了第一个成功移植猪心脏的人，他坚持了60天，比以往任何接受过其他物种心脏移植的病人都要长得多。他的出色表现给人们带来了新的希望，即，这种被称为异种移植的手术可以帮助缓解替代器官的短缺，每年挽救数千人的生命。这一医学突破为心脏移植等待名单上20%的患者提供了另一种选择。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Bennett, 57, held on through 60 tomorrows, far longer than any previous patient who’d received a heart from another species. His remarkable run offered new hope that such procedures, known as xenotransplantation, could help relieve the shortage of replacement organs, saving thousands of lives each year.(57岁的贝内特坚持了60个明天，比以往任何接受过其他物种心脏移植的病人都要长得多。他的出色表现给人们带来了新的希望，即这种被称为异种移植的手术可以帮助缓解替代器官的短缺，每年挽救数千人的生命)”可知，His remarkable run指的是上文提到的“57岁的贝内特坚持了60个明天”，即手术后活了60天。故选C。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“The earliest attempts at xenotransplantation of organs, involving kidneys from rabbits, goats, and other animals, occurred in the early 20th century, decades before the first successful human-to-human transplants. Rejection, which occurs when the recipient’s body system recognizes the donor organ as a foreign object and attacks it, followed within hours or days. Results improved after some special drugs arrived in the 1960s, but most recipients still died after a few weeks. The record for a heart xenotransplant was set in 1983, when an infant named Baby Fae survived for 20 days with an organ from a baboon.( 最早的异种器官移植尝试发生在20世纪初，涉及兔子、山羊和其他动物的肾脏，比第一次成功的人对人移植早了几十年。当受者的身体系统将供体器官识别为异物并对其进行攻击时，就会发生排异反应，排异反应会在数小时或数天内发生。20世纪60年代，一些特殊药物问世后，效果有所改善，但大多数接受者仍在几周后死亡。异种心脏移植的记录是在1983年创造的，当时一个名叫“费伊宝宝”(Baby Fae)的婴儿用狒狒的器官存活了20天)”可知，第三段主要介绍了异种移植的历史。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Pigs could be ideal for this purpose, because they’re easy to raise and reach adult human size in months.(猪可能是这个目的的理想选择，因为它们很容易饲养，几个月内就能达到成年人的体型)”可知，猪易养且生长速度快，是异种移植的理想供给品。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In recent years, however, advances in gene editing have opened a new possibility: re-edit some genes in animals to provide user-friendly spare parts.(然而，近年来，基因编辑的进步开辟了一种新的可能性：重新编辑动物的一些基因，以提供用户友好的备件)”及最后一段“This medical breakthrough provided an alternative for the 20% of patients on the heart transplant waiting list who die while waiting or become too sick to be a good candidate.(这一医学突破为20%在心脏移植等待名单上的患者提供了另一种选择，这些患者在等待期间死亡或因病情严重而无法成为良好的候选者)”可推知，贝内特的手术被认为是一个突破，因为它提供了通过基因编辑替代器官的前景。故选D。 D Around 40 million tonnes of electronic waste, known as e-waste, is produced every year. This includes electrical or electronic equipment that has been discarded. But where does it all go? In the US alone, 100 million mobile phones, 41 million computers and over 20 million televisions are thrown into landfills in a year. Even for standard waste this is a big headache, because any materials that are buried in the ground can’t be easily recovered and recycled. Recycling electronics can save energy and means that less of Earth’s natural resources need to be mined. Failing to recycle e-waste is extremely damaging the environment due to the nature of the materials used in modern devices. While heavy metals and chemicals improve a device’s safety and user experience, these components become poisonous if they’re not dealt with properly. Your old phones, Game boys, kettles, microwaves and more can end up in landfills, leaking their harmful contents into the soil, water and air. Not only does this kill wildlife and destroy ecosystems, but the accumulation of poison can impact human health too. As heavy metals and chemicals flow into lakes and rivers, drinking water becomes polluted. These poisons spread through the soil, impacting the health of crops and animals that people also rely on. In some western countries, e-waste isn’t hidden out of sight in landfills but is burnt in giant, open junkyards. They even ship waste electronics to other countries to deal with, and this often ends up in dumps across Africa and Asia. Workers in these places are exposed to polluted lands and chemical gas. It is urgent that we should reduce the damaging and unsustainable side of e-waste production. Rare earth metals, some plastics and chemicals can be fed into the next generation of electronics. The steps to proper recycling of e-waste are extensive and need large investment, but more and more countries around the world are turning to e-waste recycling. 32. What does the underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Defended. B. Abandoned. C. Applied. D. Repaired 33. What can be learned from Paragraph 2? A. Burying e-waste into landfills is an effective way to recycle. B. E-waste has a permanent effect on the environment. C. E-waste may do harm to both ecosystems and humans. D. Heavy metals and chemicals are poisonous to the users. 34. As for some western countries’ actions, the author is ________. A. optimistic B. concerned C. supportive D. objective 35. What might the author continue to talk about? A. Applications of recycled materials. B. Investments in restoring ecosystems. C. Solutions to destroying e-waste. D. Ways to recycle e-waste properly. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是电子垃圾造成环境污染，现在很多国家正通过回收电子垃圾来减少电子垃圾带来的危害。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“But where does it all go? In the US alone, 100 million mobile phones, 41 million computers and over 20 million televisions are thrown into landfills in a year.(但这些电子垃圾都去哪儿了呢？仅在美国，每年就有1亿部手机、4100万台电脑和2000多万台电视被扔进垃圾填埋场)”可知，每年有很多的电器和电子产品被扔进了垃圾填埋场，是对电子垃圾去向的回答。由此可知，有很多的电器或者电子产品被丢弃，所以划线单词的意思与“丢弃”意义相近。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Failing to recycle e-waste is extremely damaging the environment due to the nature of the materials used in modern devices.(由于现代设备中使用的材料的性质，未能回收电子垃圾对环境造成了极大的破坏)”可知，未能回收电子垃圾会对环境造成极大的破坏，结合下文中的“Not only does this kill wildlife and destroy ecosystems, but the accumulation of poison can impact human health too. As heavy metals and chemicals flow into lakes and rivers, drinking water becomes polluted. These poisons spread through the soil, impacting the health of crops and animals that people also rely on.(这不仅会杀死野生动物和破坏生态系统，而且毒素的积累也会影响人类的健康。由于重金属和化学物质流入湖泊和河流，饮用水受到污染。这些毒物通过土壤传播，影响人们赖以生存的农作物和动物的健康)”可知，电子垃圾带来的污染会破坏生态系统，影响人类健康，而且还会用向人们赖以生存的农作物和动物的健康。由此可知，电子垃圾可能对生态系统和人类都有害。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“They even ship waste electronics to other countries to deal with, and this often ends up in dumps across Africa and Asia. Workers in these places are exposed to polluted lands and chemical gas.(他们甚至把废弃的电子产品运往其他国家处理，而这些电子产品最终往往被倾倒在非洲和亚洲各地。这些地方的工人暴露在被污染的土地和化学气体中)”可知，一些西方国家把废弃的电子产品运往其他国家处理而最终被倾倒在非洲和亚洲各地，而这些地方的工人暴露在被污染的土地和化学气体中，这会给这些工人带来伤害。由此推知，作者对一些西方国家的做法表示担忧。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The steps to proper recycling of e-waste are extensive and need large investment, but more and more countries around the world are turning to e-waste recycling.(合理回收电子垃圾的步骤广泛，需要大量的投资，但世界上越来越多的国家开始转向电子垃圾的回收)”可知，现在世界上越来越多的国际开始转向电子垃圾的回收。由此推知，作者接下来应会谈论恰当回收电子垃圾的方法。故选D。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Health Benefits of Rollerblading (滑旱冰) Rollerblading is a popular sport nowadays. ___36___ .

Every time she visited her grandmother with her family she would be treated to lots of delicious food — buttery shortbread cookies and plates of crispy cheese crackers to snack on; piles of pancakes for breakfast; golden fried chickens and thick, hearty soups for dinner. No one would ever leave hungry or sad when they visited grandmother’s house. But, as Judy grew older, she started to notice that her grandmother had begun to cook less and less.The complicated meals grew simpler, and the visits to her grandmother’s beautiful life-filled home grew fewer. Eventually, Samantha’s parents told her the truth: her grandmother had arthritis (关节炎) in her hands, which meant it was too painful for her to cook the elegant dishes. “Why don’t we visit grandmother and just get food from a restaurant?” she asked. It seemed to her too cruel just to visit when her grandmother could cook for them and to pay no visit when her grandmother was sick. Her parents smiled, appreciating their daughter’s kind heart, and told her they had suggested this but the idea had been rejected, “Your grandmother loves cooking. It saddens her to be reminded that she can’t share her food any more because of her illness.” Judy told her parents she understood, but she silently determined to find a way to help. A few weeks later, Judy stopped by her grandmother’s house to deliver some groceries. As she carefully put away the boxes and cans in the kitchen cabinets, Judy discovered something she had never seen before. Sitting on one of the highest shelves was a small wooden box. Her curiosity aroused, Judy took the box down from the shelf and opened the lid. Inside were hundreds of index cards and on each one was a hand-written recipe (食谱)! Her hands shaking with excitement, Judy flipped through the cards. She recognized all of her grandmother’s classic recipes — the cookies, the pancakes, the soups. They were all here! 注意：(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Judy knew now what she would do to cheer her grandmother up. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Judy smiled at her grandmother, who was looking at the scene in surprise. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Judy knew now what she would do to cheer her grandmother up. She searched through the box of cards until she found her grandmother’s recipe for pancakes — everyone’s favorite. Then, moving quietly so that she wouldn’t disturb her grandmother in the next room, she began to gather the ingredients and cook her first pancake. As the wonderful smell of fresh pancakes began to fill the kitchen, Judy smiled. She couldn’t cook any of the more complicated dishes, but pancakes were always a wonderful treat. There came a soft sound from the door to the kitchen. It was her grandmother. Judy smiled at her grandmother, who was looking at the scene in surprise. “Cooking food for someone is a way to say I love you,” Judy chuckled but was shocked to see tears glistening in the corners of her grandmother’s eyes. Her grandmother hurried to reassure her these were tears of joy. As they sat down to enjoy their plates of pancakes together, her grandmother offered to teach Judy how to cook the rest of the elegant dishes in the recipe box. Cooking together is, after all, just as much of an expression of love as cooking for someone. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Judy小时候觉得祖母是最好的厨师，随着她长大祖母因关节炎做饭减少，Judy得知真相后决定帮忙。一次去祖母家，她发现装满食谱的木盒，便按食谱做煎饼，香味引来祖母，祖母很感动，还提出教她做其它菜肴，一起向他人表达爱。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Judy现在知道该怎么做才能让祖母高兴起来了”可知，第一段可描写Judy找到了一道菜的食谱，跟着食谱做菜，享受烹饪的愉快，然后祖母出现，发现了Judy在做菜。 ②由第二段首句内容“Judy微笑着看着祖母，她的祖母正惊讶地看着这一幕”可知，第二段可描写Judy向祖母解释自己在做什么，祖母深受感动，然后两人一起享用这道菜，祖母还提出要教Judy做更多的菜肴。 2. 续写线索：Judy想到让祖母高兴的方法——Judy跟着食谱做菜——Judy享受做菜的快乐——祖母惊讶地出现——Judy解释，祖母感动——两人享用菜肴，祖母要教Judy做菜 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①找到：find/discover ②收集：gather/collect ③轻声笑：chuckle/giggle ④闪烁：glisten/glitter 情绪类 ①震惊的：shocked/astonished/stunned ②喜悦：joy/delight/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] She searched through the box of cards until she found her grandmother’s recipe for pancakes — everyone’s favorite.

Inside, though, is a typical mall and office building. People can shop in the stores, eat in the restaurants, and get their hair cut in a salon. A favorite feature is the Wall of Fame, with signatures from Polish celebrities. It’s modeled after the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Cube Houses Rotterdam, Netherlands Completed: 1984 Inspiration: Trees in a forest Size: About one-fourth the size of a basketball court The 38 Cube Houses are a popular attraction, but they are also real houses that people live in! Architect Piet Blom designed the homes based on the idea of “living as an urban roof”, with the housing above and the courtyards, shops, and even a museum below. WonderWorks Pigeon Forge, Tennessee Completed: 2006 Inspiration: A laboratory in an Italian-style house. What if an experimen inside threw the building into the air and made it land upside down? Size: About nine-tenths the size of a football field This indoor amusement park is actually pretty normal. The upside-down features are just for show. Inside are more than 100 hands-on science exhibits and activities, including a hurricane-force wind tunnel, a zero-gravity astronaut-training ride, and a three-story ropes course. Guangzhou Opera House Guangzhou, China Completed: 2010 Inspiration: Erosion of rocks and landscapes Size: About 13 times the size of a football field The Guangzhou Opera House was designed by Iraqi-born architect Zaha Hadid.

I was so excited that I did a countdown every single day leading up to move in day at the university. However, just a few weeks after I got there, I found it very difficult to adapt to a different country, culture, and a strict curriculum. I knew studying in a foreign university was going to be hard, but the first exam still shocked — me I got a 58%, the lowest in my life. Worse still, since my day-to-day experiences and interests were so different from the American students’, I was struggling to make friends. I felt like a complete loser and kept thinking maybe I should just give up. But then it occurred to me that I was not studying just for myself, but to live up to my family’s expectations. Having made up my mind to push myself forward, I came up with a plan to make improvements. The plan was not only about study, but also about my eating and leisure time. I also planned weekly goals on how to make friends, such as “you will talk to someone at the dining hall, and you will not be scared!” Looking back, I find it was definitely embarrassing to plan my days like this, but I did it and made it. I was able to interact with others without looking like an outsider and even made some friends. I even began to teach others about my country, Panama. I told them about typical cultural differences between Panama and the US. It was really exciting to see them eager to learn more about my country. Now I am a senior, confident, strong and smart. My freshman-year self is extremely proud of how far I have come. The coming graduation surely makes me sad, but I’m sure it’s not the ending, but the beginning of the many more goals I will accomplish. 24. How did the author feel after entering college? A. Thrilled. B. Stressed. C. Disappointed. D. Proud. 25. What stopped the writer from giving up? A. His interest in knowledge. B. His longing for friends. C. His sense of responsibility. D. His desire for a degree. 26. How did the writer overcome the difficulties? A. By turning to his parents. B. By interacting with outsiders. C. By carrying out an overall plan. D. By engaging in leisure activities. 27. Which of the following best describes the writer? A. Proud and productive. B. Sensitive and cautious. C. Optimistic and warm-hearted. D. Determined and self-motivated. C Desperately ill and seeking a miracle, David Bennett Sr. took the last bet on Jan. 7. when be became the first human to be successfully transplanted with the heart of a pig. “It creates the beat; it creates the pressure; it is his heart,” declared Bartley Griffith, director of the surgical team that performed the operation at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Bennett, 57, held on through 60 tomorrows, far longer than any previous patient who’d received a heart from another species. His remarkable run offered new hope that such procedures, known as xenotransplantation (异种移植), could help relieve the shortage of replacement organs, saving thousands of lives each year. The earliest attempts at xenotransplantation of organs, involving kidneys from rabbits, goats, and other animals, occurred in the early 20th century, decades before the first successful human-to-human transplants. Rejection, which occurs when the recipient’s body system recognizes the donor organ as a foreign object and attacks it, followed within hours or days. Results improved after some special drugs arrived in the 1960s, but most recipients still died after a few weeks. The record for a heart xenotransplant was set in 1983, when an infant named Baby Fae survived for 20 days with an organ from a baboon (狒狒). In recent years, however, advances in gene editing have opened a new possibility: re-edit some genes in animals to provide user-friendly spare parts. Pigs could be ideal for this purpose, because they’re easy to raise and reach adult human size in months. Some biotech companies. including Revivicor, are investing heavily in the field. The donor pig was offered by Revivicor from a line of animals in which 10 genes had been re-edited to improve the heart’s condition. Beyond that, the pig was raised in isolation and tested regularly for viruses that could infect humans or damage the organ itself. This medical breakthrough provided an alternative for the 20% of patients on the heart transplant waiting list who die while waiting or become too sick to be a good candidate. 28. What does the underlined word “run” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Donating his heart to a patient. B. Performing the heart operation. C. Living for 60 days after the operation. D. Receiving a new heart from a pig. 29. Which aspect of xenotransplantation does paragraph 3 mainly focus on? A. Its history. B. Its procedure. C. Its consequence. D. Its significance. 30. What makes pigs ideal for providing spare parts in xenotransplantation? A. Their growth rate and health condition. B. Their life pattern and resistance to viruses. C. Their easiness of keeping and rapid growth. D. Their investment value and natural qualities. 31. Why was Bennett’s operation regarded as a breakthrough? A. It introduced new medications to prevent organ rejection. B. It proved the potential for using organs from various animals. C. It guaranteed a sufficient supply of donor pigs for transplants. D. It offered a prospect of replacement organs through gene editing. D Around 40 million tonnes of electronic waste, known as e-waste, is produced every year. This includes electrical or electronic equipment that has been discarded. But where does it all go? In the US alone, 100 million mobile phones, 41 million computers and over 20 million televisions are thrown into landfills in a year. Even for standard waste this is a big headache, because any materials that are buried in the ground can’t be easily recovered and recycled. Recycling electronics can save energy and means that less of Earth’s natural resources need to be mined. Failing to recycle e-waste is extremely damaging the environment due to the nature of the materials used in modern devices. While heavy metals and chemicals improve a device’s safety and user experience, these components become poisonous if they’re not dealt with properly. Your old phones, Game boys, kettles, microwaves and more can end up in landfills, leaking their harmful contents into the soil, water and air. Not only does this kill wildlife and destroy ecosystems, but the accumulation of poison can impact human health too. As heavy metals and chemicals flow into lakes and rivers, drinking water becomes polluted. These poisons spread through the soil, impacting the health of crops and animals that people also rely on. In some western countries, e-waste isn’t hidden out of sight in landfills but is burnt in giant, open junkyards. They even ship waste electronics to other countries to deal with, and this often ends up in dumps across Africa and Asia. Workers in these places are exposed to polluted lands and chemical gas. It is urgent that we should reduce the damaging and unsustainable side of e-waste production. Rare earth metals, some plastics and chemicals can be fed into the next generation of electronics. The steps to proper recycling of e-waste are extensive and need large investment, but more and more countries around the world are turning to e-waste recycling. 32. What does the underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Defended. B. Abandoned. C. Applied. D. Repaired 33. What can be learned from Paragraph 2? A. Burying e-waste into landfills is an effective way to recycle. B E-waste has a permanent effect on the environment. C. E-waste may do harm to both ecosystems and humans. D. Heavy metals and chemicals are poisonous to the users. 34. As for some western countries’ actions, the author is ________. A. optimistic B. concerned C. supportive D. objective 35. What might the author continue to talk about? A. Applications of recycled materials. B. Investments in restoring ecosystems. C. Solutions to destroying e-waste. D. Ways to recycle e-waste properly. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Health Benefits of Rollerblading (滑旱冰) Rollerblading is a popular sport nowadays. ___36___ .

Every time she visited her grandmother with her family she would be treated to lots of delicious food — buttery shortbread cookies and plates of crispy cheese crackers to snack on; piles of pancakes for breakfast; golden fried chickens and thick, hearty soups for dinner. No one would ever leave hungry or sad when they visited grandmother’s house. But, as Judy grew older, she started to notice that her grandmother had begun to cook less and less.The complicated meals grew simpler, and the visits to her grandmother’s beautiful life-filled home grew fewer. Eventually, Samantha’s parents told her the truth: her grandmother had arthritis (关节炎) in her hands, which meant it was too painful for her to cook the elegant dishes. “Why don’t we visit grandmother and just get food from a restaurant?” she asked. It seemed to her too cruel just to visit when her grandmother could cook for them and to pay no visit when her grandmother was sick. Her parents smiled, appreciating their daughter’s kind heart, and told her they had suggested this but the idea had been rejected, “Your grandmother loves cooking. It saddens her to be reminded that she can’t share her food any more because of her illness.” Judy told her parents she understood, but she silently determined to find a way to help. A few weeks later, Judy stopped by her grandmother’s house to deliver some groceries. As she carefully put away the boxes and cans in the kitchen cabinets, Judy discovered something she had never seen before. Sitting on one of the highest shelves was a small wooden box. Her curiosity aroused, Judy took the box down from the shelf and opened the lid. Inside were hundreds of index cards and on each one was a hand-written recipe (食谱)! Her hands shaking with excitement, Judy flipped through the cards. She recognized all of her grandmother’s classic recipes — the cookies, the pancakes, the soups. They were all here! 注意：(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Judy knew now what she would do to cheer her grandmother up. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Judy smiled at her grandmother, who was looking at the scene in surprise. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
