She made important discoveries about genes and chromosomes (染色体). Barbara McClintock was born in 1902 in Hartford, Connecticut. She studied science at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Barbara was among a small number of undergraduate students to receive training in genetics in 1921. Years later, she noted that few college students wanted to study genetics. Barbara McClintock decided to study botany, the scientific study of plants, at Cornell University. She completed her undergraduate studies in 1923. McClintock decided to continue her education at Cornell. She completed a master’s degree in 1925. Two years later, she finished all her requirements for a doctorate degree. McClintock stayed at Cornell after she completed her education. She taught students botany. The 1930s were not a good time to be a young scientist in the United States. The country was in the middle of the great economic Depression. Millions of Americans were unemployed. Male scientists were offered jobs. But female geneticists were not much in demand. An old friend from Cornell, Marcus Rhoades, invited McClintock to spend the summer of 1941, working at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. It is a research center on Long Island, near New York City. McClintock started in a temporary job with the genetics department. A short time later, she accepted a permanent position with the laboratory. This gave her the freedom to continue her research without having to teach or repeatedly ask for financial aid. By the 1970s, her discoveries have had an effect on everything from genetic engineering to cancer research. McClintock won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1983 for her discovery of the ability of genes to change position s on chromosomes. She was the first American woman to win an unshared Nobel Prize. 39. When did McClintock get a doctorate degree? A. In 1921. B. In 1923. C. In 1925. D. In 1927. 40. In the middle of the great economic Depression in the US, . A. male geneticists were in great demand B. young scientists might have trouble finding a job C. female geneticists were not in demand at all D. male scientists lost their jobs and were out of work 41. Which of the following jobs was beneficial to McClintock’s research? A. A job as a botany teacher. B. A temporary job in the genetics department. C. A permanent position in the laboratory. D. A job to research cancer. 【答案】39. D 40. B 41. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇人物传记类阅读。本文主要讲述了著名女科学家Barbara McClintock的经历以及她在基因和染色体研究方面取得的重大成就。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“She completed a master’s degree in 1925. Two years later, she finished all her requirements for a doctorate degree.(她于1925年获得硕士学位。两年后，她完成了博士学位的所有要求。)”可知，她在1927年取得博士学位，故选D。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The 1930s were not a good time to be a young scientist in the United States. The country was in the middle of the great economic Depression. Millions of Americans were unemployed.(在美国，20世纪30年代并不是年轻科学家的好时代。这个国家正处于经济大萧条的中期。数百万美国人失业。)”可知，在此期间，年轻的科学家很难找到工作，故选B。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“A short time later, she accepted a permanent position with the laboratory. This gave her the freedom to continue her research without having to teach or repeatedly ask for financial aid.(不久之后，她接受了实验室的一个永久职位。这给了她继续研究的自由，而不必教书或反复要求经济援助。)”可知，在实验室的永久职位对McClintock的研究有帮助，故选C。 C Scientists may have worked out how to turn a switch on in the brain to stop people overeating and getting fat. Certain cells in the brain could be “turned on” to make someone feel full, driving away their hunger or desire for food. Researchers say they have discovered for the first time which cells need to be stimulated to imitate the effect of eating a meal. And making people feel full could stop them eating so much,helping them to lose weight or avoid becoming fat in the first place. Although drugs already exist to prevent obesity, this discovery could make it easier to be more specific when targeting the area of the brain which controls appetite. A research team experimented on mice to see how the appetite could be controlled by targeting specific cells in the brain. The cells are found in a part of the brain which receives information from the gut (肠道) about how much food has been eaten. This could be used by doctors to tackle obesity, which is a growing problem around the world. In the study, when scientists activated this area of the brain, mice ate less food. “Our discovery opens doors to new appetite medications” Scientists on the study said, “Our discovery opens the door to new medicine that could be developed to control appetite and improve health. We used new techniques that allowed us to turn on these cells with drugs and, by doing this, we were able to reduce food intake.” Drugs could now target specific appetite-controlling brain cells Although pills used in the past to restrict appetite worked by controlling levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin (神经质血清素) , this important chemical has other functions in the body that led to unwanted side effects. Reducing appetite could prevent obesity and its health risks The technique able to reduce someone’s appetite using a medicine to limit how much they eat could help people lose weight, therefore reducing their risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, strokes and cancer. 42. How do the cells work to make people feel full and eat less? A. They send information to make people feel full. B. They are controlled by a machine to limit people’s appetite. C. They are activated to make people feel as if they had enough. D. They produce a chemical to reduce people’s appetite. 43. What is the author’s attitude toward the new technique of controlling appetite? A. Unconcerned. B. Doubtful. C. Enthusiastic. D. Passive. 44. What do we know from the passage? A. The author shows great concern over the worldwide problem of obesity. B. Fat people will have a new way to lose weight very soon. C. Pills used in the past to reduce people’s appetite are proved very healthy. D. A mouse’s brain works the same way as that of a human being. 45. The underlined word in Paragraph 3 most probably means“ ”. A. find out B. pick out C. bring in D. deal with 【答案】42. C 43. C 44. A 45. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。科学家发现可通过激活大脑特定细胞让人产生饱腹感、减少进食，这为研发新食欲药物奠基，有助应对肥胖及相关健康风险。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Researchers say they have discovered for the first time which cells need to be stimulated to imitate the effect of eating a meal.(研究人员表示，他们首次发现了哪些细胞需要被刺激，以模拟进食后的效果。)”及第四段“In the study, when scientists activated this area of the brain, mice ate less food.(在研究中，当科学家激活大脑的这个区域时，老鼠吃得更少了。)”可知，这些细胞被激活后，能让人产生吃饱的感觉，从而减少进食。故选C项。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Our discovery opens the door to new medicine that could be developed to control appetite and improve health.(我们的发现为开发控制食欲和改善健康的新药打开了大门。)”及最后一段“The technique able to reduce someone’s appetite using a medicine to limit how much they eat could help people lose weight, therefore reducing their risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, strokes and cancer.(这项技术可以通过药物限制饮食量来降低食欲，从而帮助人们减肥，从而降低患2型糖尿病、心脏病、中风和癌症的风险。)”可知，作者对这种新技术持积极支持的态度。故选C项。 44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“This could be used by doctors to tackle obesity, which is a growing problem around the world.(医生可以利用这一点来解决肥胖问题，而肥胖在全球范围内正成为一个日益严重的问题。)”可知，作者关注全球肥胖问题。故选A项。 【45题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“This could be used by doctors to tackle obesity,which is a growing problem around the world.(医生可以利用这一点来tackle 肥胖问题，而肥胖在全球范围内正成为一个日益严重的问题。)”可知，“tackle”针对的是“日益严重的肥胖问题”，意为“解决、应对”。D选项deal with(处理、应对)语义一致。故选D项。 V.阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。 Volunteering takes up our time, energy, and sometimes money. It can be hard work. It can find us doing and seeing new things, which can be challenging and even a little scary. So why does anyone even go there? On the one hand, volunteering is good for others. The world is not a perfect place, and many people, animals, places, and communities need help. Governments and professionals try to meet everyone’s needs, but it’s impossible for them to do it all. This is why people become volunteers: they can make a difference where someone or something needs help. If people never help each other and only care about themselves, the world becomes a crueler, sadder place. But when we volunteer our time, money or talents, we help to make our planet a better, happier home where people cooperate to make life easier for all. Actually, volunteers and volunteer groups can do many things. They can bring food to hungry people; they can find homes or clothes for those who need them; they can protect wildlife and natural areas; they can bring comfort and happiness to lonely people; and they can help people learn to read or do better in school. On the other hand, volunteering is good for you. Are you thinking, “What’s in it for me?” The answer is, plenty! Here are some of the things you might get in return for your giving. You may make new friends; you may gain important skills and experience that will help you later in life; you may make connections that can lead to a job or career; you may have fun. And most importantly, you may feel like you are part of a community! Hey…it looks like being a volunteer gives as much good stuff to you as it does to the people, places, or animals you’re trying to help! That’s the secret of volunteering. People who become volunteers usually lead richer, happier, and more satisfying lives than those who don’t volunteer. 46. Why do some people want to be volunteers according to Paragraph2? (no more than10 words) 47. What’s the 3rd paragraph mainly about? (no more than 10 words) 48. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “cooperate” in paragraph 2? (no more than 5 words) 49. What will a volunteer’s life be like compared with those who don’t volunteer? (no more than 10 words) 50. What do you think of volunteering? (no more than 20 words) 【答案】46. To make a difference where someone or something needs help. 47. Volunteers and volunteer groups can do many things / Things people can do as volunteers. 48. Work together. 49. Richer, happier, and more satisfying./ It will be richer, happier, and more satisfying. 50. I think it’s good. Being volunteers, we can get a lot in return for our giving. 【解析】 【分析】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了成为志愿者和参与志愿组织的好处。 【详解】1.考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“This is why people become volunteers: they can make a difference where someone or something needs help.（这就是为什么人们成为志愿者：当某人或某事需要帮助时，他们可以发挥作用。）”可知，人们想要成为志愿者是希望自己能在某人或某物需要帮助时发挥作用。故答案为To make a difference where someone or something needs help. 2.考查主旨大意。根据文章第三段“Actually, volunteers and volunteer groups can do many things.（事实上，志愿者和志愿者组织可以做很多事情。）”可知，第三段描述志愿者和志愿组织能做许多事情，并描述了对应的事情。故答案为Volunteers and volunteer groups can do many things / Things people can do as volunteers. 3.考查词义猜测。根据文章第二段“If people never help each other and only care about themselves, the world becomes a crueler, sadder place. But when we volunteer our time, money or talents, we help to make our planet a better, happier home（如果人们从不互相帮助，只关心自己，这个世界就会变得更加残酷，更加悲伤。但当我们自愿奉献我们的时间、金钱或才华时，我们帮助我们的地球成为一个更美好、更幸福的家园）”可知，cooperate与only care about themselves意思相反，此处表示与他人一起“协作、合作”。故答案为Work together. 4.考查细节理解。根据文章最后一段“People who become volunteers usually lead richer, happier, and more satisfying lives than those who don’t volunteer.（那些成为志愿者的人通常比那些不做志愿者的人过着更富有、更快乐、更满意的生活。）”可知，与不进行志愿活动的人相比，志愿者的生活会变得更富有、更快乐、更令人满意。故答案为Richer, happier, and more satisfying./ It will be richer, happier, and more satisfying. 5.考查推理判断。根据文章最后一段“Hey…it looks like being a volunteer gives as much good stuff to you as it does to the people, places, or animals you’re trying to help!（ 嘿... 看起来志愿者给你的好东西，和给你想帮助的人，地方，动物的一样多 ）”并结合全文大意可知，本文描写了做志愿活动的好处，因此，可以先说明志愿活动是有好处的，并说明原因，如，作为志愿者，我们可以从付出中得到很多回报。故答案为I think it’s good. Being volunteers, we can get a lot in return for our giving.

B Barbara McClintock was one of the most important scientists of the twentieth century. She made important discoveries about genes and chromosomes (染色体). Barbara McClintock was born in 1902 in Hartford, Connecticut. She studied science at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Barbara was among a small number of undergraduate students to receive training in genetics in 1921. Years later, she noted that few college students wanted to study genetics. Barbara McClintock decided to study botany, the scientific study of plants, at Cornell University. She completed her undergraduate studies in 1923. McClintock decided to continue her education at Cornell. She completed a master’s degree in 1925. Two years later, she finished all her requirements for a doctorate degree. McClintock stayed at Cornell after she completed her education. She taught students botany. The 1930s were not a good time to be a young scientist in the United States. The country was in the middle of the great economic Depression. Millions of Americans were unemployed. Male scientists were offered jobs. But female geneticists were not much in demand. An old friend from Cornell, Marcus Rhoades, invited McClintock to spend the summer of 1941, working at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. It is a research center on Long Island, near New York City. McClintock started in a temporary job with the genetics department. A short time later, she accepted a permanent position with the laboratory. This gave her the freedom to continue her research without having to teach or repeatedly ask for financial aid. By the 1970s, her discoveries have had an effect on everything from genetic engineering to cancer research. McClintock won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1983 for her discovery of the ability of genes to change position s on chromosomes. She was the first American woman to win an unshared Nobel Prize. 39. When did McClintock get a doctorate degree? A. In 1921. B. In 1923. C. In 1925. D. In 1927. 40. In the middle of the great economic Depression in the US, . A. male geneticists were in great demand B. young scientists might have trouble finding a job C. female geneticists were not in demand at all D. male scientists lost their jobs and were out of work 41. Which of the following jobs was beneficial to McClintock’s research? A. A job as a botany teacher. B. A temporary job in the genetics department. C. A permanent position in the laboratory. D. A job to research cancer. C Scientists may have worked out how to turn a switch on in the brain to stop people overeating and getting fat. Certain cells in the brain could be “turned on” to make someone feel full, driving away their hunger or desire for food. Researchers say they have discovered for the first time which cells need to be stimulated to imitate the effect of eating a meal. And making people feel full could stop them eating so much,helping them to lose weight or avoid becoming fat in the first place. Although drugs already exist to prevent obesity, this discovery could make it easier to be more specific when targeting the area of the brain which controls appetite. A research team experimented on mice to see how the appetite could be controlled by targeting specific cells in the brain. The cells are found in a part of the brain which receives information from the gut (肠道) about how much food has been eaten. This could be used by doctors to tackle obesity, which is a growing problem around the world. In the study, when scientists activated this area of the brain, mice ate less food. “Our discovery opens doors to new appetite medications” Scientists on the study said, “Our discovery opens the door to new medicine that could be developed to control appetite and improve health. We used new techniques that allowed us to turn on these cells with drugs and, by doing this, we were able to reduce food intake.” Drugs could now target specific appetite-controlling brain cells Although pills used in the past to restrict appetite worked by controlling levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin (神经质血清素) , this important chemical has other functions in the body that led to unwanted side effects. Reducing appetite could prevent obesity and its health risks The technique able to reduce someone’s appetite using a medicine to limit how much they eat could help people lose weight, therefore reducing their risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, strokes and cancer. 42. How do the cells work to make people feel full and eat less? A. They send information to make people feel full. B. They are controlled by a machine to limit people’s appetite. C. They are activated to make people feel as if they had enough. D. They produce a chemical to reduce people’s appetite. 43. What is the author’s attitude toward the new technique of controlling appetite? A. Unconcerned. B. Doubtful. C. Enthusiastic. D. Passive. 44. What do we know from the passage? A. The author shows great concern over the worldwide problem of obesity. B. Fat people will have a new way to lose weight very soon. C. Pills used in the past to reduce people’s appetite are proved very healthy. D. A mouse’s brain works the same way as that of a human being. 45. The underlined word in Paragraph 3 most probably means“ ”. A. find out B. pick out C. bring in D. deal with V.阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。 Volunteering takes up our time, energy, and sometimes money. It can be hard work.
