Scientists can help us to have more and better meats to eat by cloning only the superior animals. I don’t think that we should worry so much about genetically-engineered food. Angela Fernandez from Mexico I don’t know whether the tomatoes we find in supermarkets are genetically manipulated or not. What I do know is that they are very bad! A tomato grown with sun and soil is much better. In the case of strawberries, actually, most strawberries we can find are very tasty. I guess, however, they have been genetically manipulated, too. Vera Sorokina from Russia If we manipulate vegetable genes, we can also do with human genes. So, it may be possible that a substance which is left in food could get into a human body while the person is eating. Then, is it possible that this substance could modify the person’s genetic structure? Pinar Müfftler from Turkey I don’t agree with the idea that scientists should not grow genetically-engineered food because it is not safe. If they want to make progress, they should do experiments. It’s important to keep trying. If they don’t keep trying, they will never be able to develop new technologies. Maybe these technologies won’t be successful in the beginning, but if scientists keep trying, they will develop new ways. 21．Of the people above, who is obviously against genetically-engineered food? A．Pinar Müfftler from Turkey. B．Martín Ramírez from Argentina. C．Vera Sirotkina from Russia. D．Angela Fernandez from Mexico. 22．As far as Pinar Müfftler is concerned, 　　　. A．developing such food is a better way to solve world hunger B．experimenting on such food shouldn’t be allowed C．new technologies will make such food safer to eat D．this kind of food is much better and tastier 23．What do we infer about Martín Ramírez? A．He doubts whether such food is safe. B．He worries that the crops will spoil. C．He doesn’t like vegetables and fruits. D．He is in favour of cloning animals. B One summer day as I was heading to the teaching building, I heard someone call my name. I turned around and saw Philip, a counselor (顾问) at our admissions office, standing with another young man. Philip introduced me to him, Stephen, and reminded me that Stephen would be taking one of my classes. Stephen looked at me. With a somewhat painful expression, he asked if my class was going to be hard and if he would be able to pass. I introduced all the things that he would be expected to learn. As we talked, I saw Stephen’s eyes getting big with fear. I told him to do all of his assignments, and to hand them in on time. Rather than being overwhelmed (压倒) by all of the work, I told him the most successful students made a master calendar of all the assignments so they could plan their workload. As the fall semester went on, I learned more of Stephen’s story. It had taken him longer to finish the assignments than most young people. Family members, including his mother, kept reminding him that he was a failure. But he kept at it and didn’t take them to heart. He told me that before coming to our college, no one believed he could manage it. Stephen didn’t become an A student. Still, he managed to pass most of his courses by being in class every day, turning in all of his assignments on time and breaking down his studying into bite-sized parts. By passing course after course, he began to gain a measure of self-esteem. On his graduation day, he walked up to me, and said, “Thank you.” 24．What can we learn about the author according to the passage? A．He wouldn’t have met Stephen without the introduction of Philip. B．He told Stephen how to deal with his studies. C．He helped Stephen get an A in his class. D．He didn’t believe that Stephen could study in college. 25．What does the passage mainly tell us about Stephen? A．He was an average student but hard-working. B．He was an excellent student, but didn’t have self-esteem. C．He was a little stupid and didn’t do well at school. D．He was far from a top student because of his failure. 26．What lesson can we learn from the passage? A．A good beginning is half done. B．One bite at a time. C．Haste makes waste. D．Look before you leap. 27．According to Stephen’s questions to the author, what do we know about Stephen? A．He wasn’t very confident about himself. B．He didn’t want to attend the author’s class. C．He had never been an A student. D．He couldn’t pass the author’s exam. C Last month, a study was published that examined climate change’s direct effects on the Earth’s seasons. Scientists found a connection between climate change and the temperature and duration of the summer season. Summers in the Northern hemisphere(北半球) could last nearly six months by the year 2100 if global warming continues, according to the study. With the seasons off-balance, there will be harmful effects on human health and agriculture. Yuping Guan, a physical oceanographer at the State Key Laboratory of Tropical Oceanography at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and his colleagues combined daily climate data from 1952 to 2011 to get a sense of the start and end of each season in the Northern hemisphere. Over the nearly 60-year period, they discovered that, on average, summers grew from 78 to 95 days, while winters shortened from 76 to 73 days. The spring and autumn seasons also shortened. Guan and his team used the findings from the data to create a model to hypothesize (假设) about how the seasons would possibly change in the future. They found that if left untouched, summers in the Northern hemisphere could last nearly six months, while winters could contract to less than two months. If the Earth’s seasons continue to shift, it will bring negative effects to human health and agriculture. Longer and hotter summers, for example, can cause mosquitoes and other disease-carrying insects to potentially expand their scope and land in places where they’re usually not found. “Because seasons influence the life cycles of plants and animals, climate change could disturb species’ ability to adapt,” said Scott Sheridan, a climate scientist. “If seasons continue to change, everything isn’t going to change perfectly as they should. If we take the example of flowers coming out of the ground, those flowers could come out, but bees aren’t there to pollinate them yet or they’re already past their peak.” With negative effects like these, human health and agriculture will face hardship while moving forward. This study further demonstrates how cruel climate change is to humans, plants and animals, reminding us how much we are all connected with the environment we share. 28．What did scientists find according to the study? A．Some seasons will disappear in their tracks. B．Global warming will be at its worst in 2100. C．Climate change affects the days of summers. D．Human health remains unharmed by climate change. 29．What does the underlined word "contract" in the second paragraph mean? A．Add. B．Extend. C．Keep. D．Shorten. 30．What can we infer about the effects of longer and hotter summers? A．Mosquitoes can survive in more places. B．The environment will change as we wish. C．Human health and agriculture are hardly affected. D．Some species are more able to adapt to the change. 31．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．Is the Earth getting warmer? B．Is climate change bringing hardship? C．Is mankind to blame for longer summers? D．Is summer taking over from all other seasons? D A decade ago, I attended a banquet in Guangzhou where the food was exceptional. The bird’s nest soup, made from chicken and possibly ham with dried scallops(千贝), was gentle and slippery. The sea cucumber was rich and sticky, and the fish was sparklingly fresh and steamed to perfection. However, what stood out was the plain white soup of broth(肉汁), served at the end. It was simple, plain, and perfect. Ending a banquet with soup may seem odd to Westerners, who are used to sweets at the end of meals. But as an English food writer named Fuchsia Dunlop explains in her book “Invitation to a Banquet”, soup is a unique expression of a chefs art, much like a singer's voice. The transparent, almost invisible soup is an ideal conclusion to a banquet, with its luxury and strong flavors. “Invitation to a Banquet” is Dunlop’s seventh book. Unlike her other books on Chinese cuisine such as “The Food of Sichuan” and “Revolutionary Kitchen”, this one is not a cookbook. Instead, she has chosen 30 dishes from different regions of China to illustrate different aspects of Chinese cuisine and history. What makes Dunlop’s writing unique is her perspective. She argues that Chinese cuisine is superior(更胜一筹的)not only in taste but also in its ability to incorporate foreign influences while still maintaining its own identity. Furthermore, Dunlop makes an equally compelling case that what Westerners think of as “Chinese food” is neither false nor wrong. It is merely a diasporic (离散的)branch that reflects local tastes and is representative of the cuisine’s diversity. Immigration and adventurousness have made authentic Chinese food more accessible outside China than ever before. In conclusion, “Invitation to a Banquet” by Fuchsia Dunlop provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Chinese cuisine. Through her well-researched book and insightful discussions, she encourages readers to appreciate the complexity and richness of Chinese food. 32. To the author, what is the most memorable dish about the banquet in Guangzhou? A. A sweet dessert. B. A bowl of plain white soup. C. A dish made from expensive ingredients. D. A fish that was rich and strong-flavoured. 33. What does the underlined word “incorporate” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Include. B. Reject. C. Strengthen. D. Reduce. 34. What is the unique perspective of Chinese cuisine in her book “Invitation to a Banquet”? A. Chinese desserts are the highlight of Chinese cuisine. B. Immigration makes little difference to Chinese dishes. C. Chinese food is limited to traditional ingredients and flavors. D. Chinese food is influenced by foreign elements while preserving its own identity. 35. What's purpose of writing the passage? A. To introduce a dish. B. To recommend a book. C. To share an experience. D. To compare different cultures. 第二节（共5小题, 每小题2. 5分, 共12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to help your cat lose weight There’s perhaps nothing cuter than a chubby (圆胖的) cat. 36 Obesity (肥胖) in cats can lead to some health problems. Researchers at Virginia-Maryland College just launched their findings of a study on how to keep indoor cats at a healthy weight. 37 Just like humans, cats need to eat less and move more. In a “food is love” culture, it often happens that you overfeed your cats. So you should stop “free feeding” — only feed your cat the vet (兽医)-suggested amount at the same time every day. 38 If you have a cat that’s screaming for food, you still need to keep their food under control and try feeding them vegetables. 39 Cats are most playful early in the morning or late in the afternoon, so try to schedule your playtime when they’re most active. You don’t need to try hard to find anything fancy — an empty box or old newspapers might be all your cat needs to get moving. The most successful weight loss involves a meaningful connection between you and your cat. Dodd, one member of the study, actually dieted with her cat. 40 So it was kind of like that social support, where if she couldn’t eat, the cat couldn’t eat either. A．There are no magic ways. B．Besides dieting, consider giving them some toys. C．Her cat needed to lose weight and she needed, too. D．But extra weight is keeping your cat from living its best life. E．It turns out that the weight loss improved cats’ living experience. F．They always depend on their owners to have the best self-control. G．This will discourage your cat from expecting too many extra treats. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节, 满分45分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分, 共15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 From the time I was seven, I had a dream of becoming a member of the students’ union.
