He examined my face, “Hmmm,” he said quietly. “Are you a model?” Is he kidding? No way would anyone ever confuse me with a fashion model. I was ugly. After all, had the scar.
The accident happened in fourth grade, when a neighbour boy threw a sharp stone through the side of my face. After a three-hour operation, a huge bandage covered half of my face for several months.
“You’ll always be pretty to me,” Dad sighed, “even if you aren’t to the rest of the world.” Right Thanks. As if I couldn’t hear the unkind words of the other kids at school. As if I couldn’t see how different I looked from the pretty girls the teachers often paid attention to. As if I didn’t look at myself in the bathroom minor from time to time. In a culture that values beauty, an ugly girt is not accepted.
“Of course I’m not a model,” I replied. The doctor crossed his arms over his chest and looked at me. “Since you’re not a model, what brought you here today?” The room began to swim before me, as my eyes were full of tears.
The doctor sat down beside me. His voice was low and soft. “Let me tell you what I see. I see a beautiful woman. Not a perfect woman, but a beautiful woman. Even Elizabeth Taylor has a tiny scar on her forehead,” he said in a low voice. Then he paused a while. “When a person falls in love, if their mate has an imperfection, that imperfection becomes special.” As tears were rolling down my face. He said. “You are a very attractive woman with a very small imperfection. Whether you know it or not, it makes you special.”
I left his office, not with the scar removed from my face, but with a tear removed from my heart.

Genetic engineering is the scientific change of the genetic material in a living organism. It allows scientists to identify specific genes, to remove them from an organism’s chromosomes (染色体), improve them, analyze them, and possibly clone them, and to then reinsert the changed gene into the original organism, or a completely different organism. Unlike traditional breeding (繁殖), where a desired quality would be bred within the same species, genetic engineering can insert desired ones into organisms of different species.
Genetic engineering creates many positive contributions to agriculture. For example, by genetically engineered (GE) foods, anti-cancer agents, minerals and vitamins can be increased. Improved taste, shelf life, and better transport are all possible. Also, GE plants can increase pest and bacterial resistance, therefore, making the food safe for consumers.But some argue that the possible negative effects outweigh the positives, and critics are starting to voice their concerns. Unlike Europe, in the United States labelling is not required on genetically engineered foods or on foods that contain genetically engineered products. Most Americans do not realize that they are, in fact, eating GE foods.
The public is also concerned about the unknown health risks. With limited understanding of genes, scientists cannot predict possible effects. Because most genes introduced into GE plants come from sources not introduced into the human body, it is impossible to know if they will cause reactions. Moreover, due to the lack of labelling if allergies (过敏) develop, it will be extremely difficult to find the origin of them.
There is also a major moral question in many minds. For many, the conflict is not whether it is safe or not, but it disturbs them because it is unnatural and unnecessary. We are currently producing one and a half times the amount of food needed to feed the world, yet one in seven people are starving. GE food is unnecessary, and fails to address the root of hunger. Many believe that the only people who will benefit are the corporations that produce it.
Scientists cannot foresee the possible effects of GE foods, yet we eat them every day without even knowing it. We already have enough food, so why create more that could be potentially harmful to us, to the Earth and to all wildlife? I think that the benefits arc amazing, but until we know for sure how these foods will affect us, they are not worth the risk.
62. According to the passage, traditional breeding is different from genetic engineering because ________.
A. traditional breeding is more scientific
B. traditional breeding takes place within the same species
C. traditional breeding changes the genes in the same species
D. traditional breeding changes the genes in different species
63. The underlined phrase “the lack of labelling” in Paragraph 4 indicates ________.
A. the US government is responsible for GE food
B. scientists try to hide potential dangers from customers
C. it is currently possible to find the origins of some allergies
D information concerning gene sources is unavailable to customers
64. According to Paragraph 5, GE food is unnecessary because ________.
A. we’re now producing more food than before
B. there are potential dangers in producing GE food
C. it won’t help solve the problem of hunger in the world
D. neither customers nor corporations benefit from GE food
65. What is the author’s attitude towards genetic engineering?
A. Optimistic. B. Welcoming. C. Disapproving. D. Unconcerned.
Section C (4’)
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
What I Think of Boxing as a Sport
Boxing is a popular sport. Newspapers, magazines and sports programmes on TV frequently cover boxing matches. It could be the toughest of all sports to survive. It takes boxers hours in the gym and years to develop the specific characteristics needed to be a great boxer. ____66____
It seems to me that some people, especially men, find it appealing because it is an aggressive sport. When they watch a boxing match, they can identify with the winning boxer. This gives them the feeling of being a winner themselves. ____67____ They do that because the boxer comes from their own country, and if “their” boxer loses, they often feel as if they have lost a fight themselves. It is a fact that many people have feelings of aggression from time to time, but they cannot show their aggression in their everyday lives. Watching a boxing match gives them a way of expressing it.
____68____ Although boxers wear gloves during the fights, and amateur boxers even have to wear helmets, a kind of strong hard hat, there have frequently been accidents in both professional and amateur boxing, sometimes with dramatic consequences. Boxers have suffered from head injuries, and occasionally, fighters have even been killed as a result of being knocked out in the ring. Besides, studies have shown that there are often long-term effects of boxing. They are usually in the form of serious brain damage, even if a boxer has never been knocked out.
To conclude, I am personally not at all in favor of aggressive sports like boxing. ____69____. We can celebrate more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes in our society. I believe that the world is aggressive enough already! Of course, people like competitive sports, and so do I, but I think that hitting other people in an aggressive way is not something that should be regarded as a sport.
A. However, boxing can be a very dangerous sport.
B. Sometimes fans are supporting a particular boxer.
C. In boxing, fighters are required to hit a moving target.
D. Many fans are drawn to the sport because they love the competition.
E. Perhaps that is the reason why successful boxers are treated as big heroes.
F. I think it would be better if less time was given to aggressive sports on TV.

【详解】考查连词短语。句意:欢迎你借我新买的山地车,只要你保证好好爱护它,并完好无损地归还给我。空格处引导条件状语从句,且意义为“只要”,所以应该用连词短语as long as。故填as;long;as。
17. __________ (work) in the company for ten years, he has rich experience. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Having worked
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:他在这家公司工作了十年,经验丰富。句中已有谓语动词has,空处应用非谓语动词;非谓语work发生在谓语动作之前,且与he为主动关系,故用现在分词的完成式having done,首字母大写。故填Having worked。

【答案】to be discussed
【解析】

【答案】comparing
【解析】

Section B (18’)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
He examined my face, “Hmmm,” he said quietly. “Are you a model?” Is he kidding? No way would anyone ever confuse me with a fashion model. I was ugly. After all, had the scar.
The accident happened in fourth grade, when a neighbour boy threw a sharp stone through the side of my face. After a three-hour operation, a huge bandage covered half of my face for several months.
“You’ll always be pretty to me,” Dad sighed, “even if you aren’t to the rest of the world.” Right Thanks. As if I couldn’t hear the unkind words of the other kids at school. As if I couldn’t see how different I looked from the pretty girls the teachers often paid attention to. As if I didn’t look at myself in the bathroom minor from time to time. In a culture that values beauty, an ugly girt is not accepted.
“Of course I’m not a model,” I replied. The doctor crossed his arms over his chest and looked at me. “Since you’re not a model, what brought you here today?” The room began to swim before me, as my eyes were full of tears.
The doctor sat down beside me. His voice was low and soft. “Let me tell you what I see. I see a beautiful woman. Not a perfect woman, but a beautiful woman. Even Elizabeth Taylor has a tiny scar on her forehead,” he said in a low voice. Then he paused a while. “When a person falls in love, if their mate has an imperfection, that imperfection becomes special.” As tears were rolling down my face. He said. “You are a very attractive woman with a very small imperfection. Whether you know it or not, it makes you special.”
I left his office, not with the scar removed from my face, but with a tear removed from my heart.

【57题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“The doctor sat down beside me. His voice was low and soft. “Let me tell you what I see. I see a beautiful woman.”(医生在我身边坐下。他的声音低沉而柔和。“让我来告诉你我看到的是什么。我看到的是一个美丽的女人。”)”以及后文医生的鼓励和启发可知,医生以直率而富有启发性的方式帮助作者认识并接受自己的不完美,因此最适合用“直率且富有启发性”来形容他。故选D。

(C)
Genetic engineering is the scientific change of the genetic material in a living organism. It allows scientists to identify specific genes, to remove them from an organism’s chromosomes (染色体), improve them, analyze them, and possibly clone them, and to then reinsert the changed gene into the original organism, or a completely different organism. Unlike traditional breeding (繁殖), where a desired quality would be bred within the same species, genetic engineering can insert desired ones into organisms of different species.
Genetic engineering creates many positive contributions to agriculture. For example, by genetically engineered (GE) foods, anti-cancer agents, minerals and vitamins can be increased. Improved taste, shelf life, and better transport are all possible. Also, GE plants can increase pest and bacterial resistance, therefore, making the food safe for consumers.But some argue that the possible negative effects outweigh the positives, and critics are starting to voice their concerns. Unlike Europe, in the United States labelling is not required on genetically engineered foods or on foods that contain genetically engineered products. Most Americans do not realize that they are, in fact, eating GE foods.
The public is also concerned about the unknown health risks. With limited understanding of genes, scientists cannot predict possible effects. Because most genes introduced into GE plants come from sources not introduced into the human body, it is impossible to know if they will cause reactions. Moreover, due to the lack of labelling if allergies (过敏) develop, it will be extremely difficult to find the origin of them.
There is also a major moral question in many minds. For many, the conflict is not whether it is safe or not, but it disturbs them because it is unnatural and unnecessary. We are currently producing one and a half times the amount of food needed to feed the world, yet one in seven people are starving. GE food is unnecessary, and fails to address the root of hunger. Many believe that the only people who will benefit are the corporations that produce it.
Scientists cannot foresee the possible effects of GE foods, yet we eat them every day without even knowing it. We already have enough food, so why create more that could be potentially harmful to us, to the Earth and to all wildlife? I think that the benefits arc amazing, but until we know for sure how these foods will affect us, they are not worth the risk.
62. According to the passage, traditional breeding is different from genetic engineering because ________.
A. traditional breeding is more scientific
B. traditional breeding takes place within the same species
C. traditional breeding changes the genes in the same species
D. traditional breeding changes the genes in different species
63. The underlined phrase “the lack of labelling” in Paragraph 4 indicates ________.
A. the US government is responsible for GE food
B. scientists try to hide potential dangers from customers
C. it is currently possible to find the origins of some allergies
D. information concerning gene sources is unavailable to customers
64. According to Paragraph 5, GE food is unnecessary because ________.
A. we’re now producing more food than before
B. there are potential dangers in producing GE food
C. it won’t help solve the problem of hunger in the world
D. neither customers nor corporations benefit from GE food
65. What is the author’s attitude towards genetic engineering?
A. Optimistic. B. Welcoming. C. Disapproving. D. Unconcerned.
【答案】62. B 63. D 64. C 65. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了基因工程在农业中的应用及其带来的积极贡献,同时也探讨了公众对基因工程食品的担忧和道德质疑。
【62题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Unlike traditional breeding (繁殖), where a desired quality would be bred within the same species, genetic engineering can insert desired ones into organisms of different species.(与传统育种不同,传统育种是在同一物种内培育出理想的品质,而基因工程可以将理想的品质插入到不同物种的生物体中)”可知,传统育种是在同一物种内进行的。故选B项。
【63题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Unlike Europe, in the United States labelling is not required on genetically engineered foods or on foods that contain genetically engineered products. Most Americans do not realize that they are, in fact, eating GE foods.(与欧洲不同,在美国,转基因食品或含有转基因产品的食品不需要标注。大多数美国人实际上并没有意识到他们在食用转基因食品)”和划线词所在句“Moreover, due to the lack of labelling if allergies (过敏) develop, it will be extremely difficult to find the origin of them.(此外,由于the lack of labelling,如果出现过敏反应,将极难找到过敏的源头)”可知,在美国转基因食品不要求标注,导致消费者无法知晓食物的基因来源信息。所以“the lack of labelling”指的是消费者无法获取关于基因来源的信息。故选D项。
【64题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“We are currently producing one and a half times the amount of food needed to feed the world, yet one in seven people are starving. GE food is unnecessary, and fails to address the root of hunger.(我们目前生产的粮食是养活世界所需粮食的1.5倍,但仍有七分之一的人在挨饿。转基因食品是不必要的,也无法解决饥饿的根源问题)”可知,转基因食品并不能帮助解决世界饥饿问题,所以没有必要。故选C项。
【65题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I think that the benefits are amazing, but until we know for sure how these foods will affect us, they are not worth the risk.(我认为转基因食品的好处惊人,但在我们确定这些食品将如何影响我们之前,它们不值得冒险)”可推断,作者认为基因食品不值得冒险,所以他对基因工程持不赞成的态度。故选C项。
Section C (4’)
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
What I Think of Boxing as a Sport
Boxing is a popular sport. Newspapers, magazines and sports programmes on TV frequently cover boxing matches. It could be the toughest of all sports to survive. It takes boxers hours in the gym and years to develop the specific characteristics needed to be a great boxer. ____66____
It seems to me that some people, especially men, find it appealing because it is an aggressive sport. When they watch a boxing match, they can identify with the winning boxer. This gives them the feeling of being a winner themselves. ____67____ They do that because the boxer comes from their own country, and if “their” boxer loses, they often feel as if they have lost a fight themselves. It is a fact that many people have feelings of aggression from time to time, but they cannot show their aggression in their everyday lives. Watching a boxing match gives them a way of expressing it.
____68____ Although boxers wear gloves during the fights, and amateur boxers even have to wear helmets, a kind of strong hard hat, there have frequently been accidents in both professional and amateur boxing, sometimes with dramatic consequences. Boxers have suffered from head injuries, and occasionally, fighters have even been killed as a result of being knocked out in the ring. Besides, studies have shown that there are often long-term effects of boxing. They are usually in the form of serious brain damage, even if a boxer has never been knocked out.
To conclude, I am personally not at all in favor of aggressive sports like boxing. ____69____. We can celebrate more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes in our society. I believe that the world is aggressive enough already! Of course, people like competitive sports, and so do I, but I think that hitting other people in an aggressive way is not something that should be regarded as a sport.
A. However, boxing can be a very dangerous sport.
B. Sometimes fans are supporting a particular boxer.
C. In boxing, fighters are required to hit a moving target.
D Many fans are drawn to the sport because they love the competition.
E. Perhaps that is the reason why successful boxers are treated as big heroes.
F. I think it would be better if less time was given to aggressive sports on TV.
【答案】66. E 67. B 68. A 69. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了拳击作为一项运动的吸引力及其危险性,作者表达了对这种攻击性运动的不支持态度,并提倡减少电视上的相关节目时间,推崇非攻击性运动英雄。
【66题详解】
上文“It takes boxers hours in the gym and years to develop the specific characteristics needed to be a great boxer. (拳击手需要在健身房花费数小时的时间,并且要历经数年才能培养出成为一名伟大拳击手所需要的特定特质)”描述了拳击手要成为优秀选手所付出的巨大努力和漫长过程,突出了成为优秀拳击手的不易,空处承接上文,E选项“Perhaps that is the reason why successful boxers are treated as big heroes. (也许这就是为什么成功的拳击手被视为大英雄的原因)”中“that”指代上文提到的成为优秀拳击手的不易,成功的拳击手因为付出了很多努力所以被视为英雄,与上文衔接紧密,符合语境。故选E。
【67题详解】
上文“When they watch a boxing match, they can identify with the winning boxer. This gives them the feeling of being a winner themselves. (当他们观看拳击比赛时,他们会认同获胜的拳击手。这会让他们感觉自己就是赢家)”提到观众会因认同获胜拳击手而有自己是赢家的感觉,及下文“They do that because the boxer comes from their own country, and if “their” boxer loses, they often feel as if they have lost a fight themselves. (他们这么做是因为拳击手来自他们自己的国家,而且如果“他们的”拳击手输了,他们常常会觉得仿佛自己也输掉了一场战斗)”具体阐述了他们支持特定拳击手的原因。空处承上启下,B选项“Sometimes fans are supporting a particular boxer. (有时粉丝们会支持某个特定的拳击手)”中“fans”与上文中的“they”相呼应,“supporting a particular boxer”引出下文对支持特定拳击手原因的解释,起到了很好的过渡作用。故选B。
【68题详解】
下文“Although boxers wear gloves during the fights, and amateur boxers even have to wear helmets, a kind of strong hard hat, there have frequently been accidents in both professional and amateur boxing, sometimes with dramatic consequences. (尽管拳击手在比赛中会戴上手套,业余拳击手甚至必须佩戴头盔这种坚固的硬质帽子,但在职业和业余拳击中仍然经常发生意外,有时后果十分严重)” 提到拳击比赛中拳击手可能遭遇的各种危险情况,空处需引出下文关于拳击危险性的内容,A选项“However, boxing can be a very dangerous sport. (然而,拳击可能是一项非常危险的运动)”中“dangerous”与下文的“accidents”和“dramatic consequences”等相呼应,自然地引出了下文对拳击运动负面因素的讨论。故选A。
【69题详解】
上文“To conclude, I am personally not at all in favor of aggressive sports like boxing. (总之,我个人一点也不喜欢像拳击这样的攻击性运动)”表明了作者对拳击这类攻击性运动的不喜欢,下文“We can celebrate more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes in our society. (我们可以在社会中把更多来自非攻击性运动的男女当作英雄来庆祝)”提出了对非攻击性运动的倡导,空处承上启下,F选项“I think it would be better if less time was given to aggressive sports on TV. (我认为如果电视上少花些时间在攻击性运动上会更好)”中的“less time was given to aggressive sports on TV”与上文作者不喜欢攻击性运动的态度相呼应,同时引出下文对关注非攻击性运动的倡导,进一步阐述了作者对于攻击性运动在社会中呈现方式的看法,使上下文逻辑连贯,符合语境。故选F。
Ⅳ. Translation (32+3+4’+52=15’)
Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.
70. 到底是什么让在场的学者们强烈反对这一方案?(object) (汉译英)
________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】What on earth made the scholars present strongly object to this plan?
What was it that made the scholars present strongly object to this plan?
【解析】
【详解】考查特殊疑问词、动词时态短语。分析句子可知,句子描述的是过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时。句子为特殊疑问句,特殊疑问词“什么”为what,置于句首,首字母大写;表示“到底”使用短语on earth;表示“使某人做某事”使用make sb. do sth. 结构,过去时为made sb do sth;表示“在场的”应用形容词present后置,修饰“学者们”,“在场的学者们”即the scholars present;表示“强烈反对”使用副词strongly修饰动词短语object to;表示“这一方案”为this plan,表示“强烈反对反对这一方案”使用strongly object to this plan。故整句翻译为What on earth made the scholars present strongly object to this plan?
71. 直到考试结束,许多学生才意识到复习单词的重要性。(until) (汉译英)
________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Many students didn’t realize the importance of reviewing words until the exam ended.
【解析】
【详解】考查从句和时态。根据所给中文和英文提示可知,本句整体结构应使用not...until...句式,意为“直到……才……”引导时间状语从句,陈述过去的动作,时态应使用一般过去时。“许多学生”可翻译为many students;“意识到”使用动词realized,在否定句中,借助助动词didn't来构成一般过去时的否定形式didn’t realize;“……的重要性”用the importance of...来表达,“复习单词”可翻译为review words,因of是介词,review需用动名词形式;“直到考试结束”可翻译为until the exam ended。故整句话可译为Many students didn’t realize the importance of reviewing words until the exam ended.
72. 尽管面临学业压力,我们还是积极参与志愿者活动,为社会和谐做出贡献。(despite; contribute) (汉译英)
________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Despite the academic pressure we are facing/we are faced with, we still take an active part in volunteer activities/work, contributing to social harmony.
Despite facing the academic pressure, we still take an active part in volunteer activities/work, contributing to social harmony.
【解析】
【详解】考查介词、动词短语和非谓语动词(答案二解析)。“尽管”用介词despite,位于句首,首字母大写,“面临”用face,despite是介词,后接动名词形式facing,“学业压力”翻译为 academic pressure;“我们”用代词we作句子主语,“积极参与”用动词短语take an active part in,“志愿者活动”可译为volunteer activities或volunteer work;“为……做出贡献”用contribute to,应用现在分词形式作状语,表伴随,“社会和谐”翻译为social harmony。句子陈述客观情况,用一般现在时。故翻译为Despite facing the academic pressure, we still take an active part in volunteer activities/work, contributing to social harmony.
73. 虽然人工智能的发展对传统教育构成威胁,但它也能为个性化学习提供支持,帮助学生适应未来社会。(pose) (汉译英)
________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Although the development of artificial intelligence poses a threat to traditional education, it can also support personalized learning, helping students to adapt to future society.
【解析】
【详解】考查让步状语从句、名词短语、动词短语和非谓语动词。根据句意以及句子的提示词可知,该句应为连词although表示“虽然”引导的让步状语从句,表示“人工智能的发展”应为名词短语the development of artificial intelligence;陈述客观事实,为一般现在时,从句主语为不可数名词,所以为动词三单形式,表示“对传统教育构成威胁”应为动词短语poses a threat to traditional education;表示“为个性化学习提供支持”应为动词短语support personalized learning;后接非谓语动词作状语,表示“帮助学生适应未来社会”应为动词短语help students to adapt to future society,help和逻辑主语it为主动关系,所以为现在分词形式。故翻译为:Although the development of artificial intelligence poses a threat to traditional education, it can also support personalized learning, helping students to adapt to future society.
