Scientists have known for many years that houseplants benefit people’s well-being. Now researchers have found a way to make plants even better for human health. Using a method called genetic modification(基因编辑), they raised plants that reduce indoor air pollution. GM means changing a plant or animal by fixing its DNA, including adding DNA from another species(物种).
Indoor air pollution is produced by cleaning products, cooking, and dust, among other things, and it can be bad for people’s health. In 1989, research done by NASA found that houseplants could clean the air in a home. Later studies, however, showed that plants actually made too small a difference to help much. Since then, scientists have been experimenting with the DNA of certain houseplants to try to create one that will reduce more air pollution.
In 2018, scientists from the University of Washington decided to adapt a houseplant called pothos, or devil’s ivy, which is popular and easy to care for. The team added new DNA based on a chemical found in a rabbit’s liver. In the animal, the chemical breaks down harmful matter. The team found that the new DNA made the plant better at taking in pollution.
More recently, a company called Neoplants added more DNA, from two types of bacteria(细菌). As the devil’s ivy grow, the team studied it carefully. Tests suggested that it was up to 30 times better at taking in pollution than the non-GM plants that NASA tested back in 1989. The company is also planning to add bacteria to the soil that comes with the plant, which could help break down even more polluting gases.
There is more work to be done, but the team at Neoplants plans to use this technology in other types of houseplants. If all goes well, the company hopes people in the US will be able to decorate their homes with pollution-busting plants by next year. Another company, Origen Air, sells a plant-based system that cleans the air in businesses and homes. It has already appeared on the market in Canada.
39. How can houseplants benefit people’s health according to the text?
A. By relaxing people’s minds. B. By producing more oxygen.
C. By cutting down air pollution. D. By killing the bacteria in the air.
40. What do we know about pothos from the text?
A. It is a rare and high-demanding houseplant.
B. NASA was the first to study its health benefits.
C. The plant itself can break down harmful chemicals.
D. GM technology betters its ability to reduce air pollution.
41. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. No similar plant-based system has been put into use up till now.
B. Further improvements are needed before the system goes into service.
C. Application of the technology to other types of houseplants is already underway.
D. Neoplants’ genetically modified houseplants are sure to appear on the market soon.
42. In which section of a magazine may this text appear?
A. Health and sport. B. Arts and entertainment.
C. Science and technology. D. Animals and the environment.
C
Very few people will challenge you if you say that the world seems to be changing faster and faster. Of course, some people will. They will mention how change has occurred throughout history. We may be on an up cycle right now, but things will slow down again, as they have over and over for thousands of years. But I don’t think most people — even those who agree that change is coming faster — really appreciate the consequences of the high speed of that change.
The speed of everything is going up and up. And this is now demanding that we run organizations in a different way. However, the number of public or private firms who are trying to adopt new ways is very small. Why should this be so? I think the answer lies in the fact we believe. For the most part, it is highly influenced by our own personal experiences. And when it comes to change, the world we see today and the world we saw two or three or four months ago are rarely very different. Indeed our experiences can be literally 99.5% the same.We get up, get ready for work, and get on the subway, not paying attention to the depth of the seawall (海堤), because it doesn’t affect us today.
So even if we know that things are changing and changing faster, what we see and feel is very different. And our experiences, and the feelings that we get from them, are very influential in determining our behavior. So if we don’t feel things are changing that much, we won’t actively and aggressively (有冲劲地) look for new ways to adapt to that change. It’s really that simple. And increasingly, it’s really that dangerous.
The way we absorb information, and the way we act on it, are not going to change because the structure of our brains or bodies will not suddenly change. The latter only happens over very long periods of time. What can help? Big ideas that produce big light bulbs over our heads can help. A constant focus on change — opportunities and risks — can help. A sense of urgency (紧迫) to find and use new opportunities might help.
43. What is most people’s attitude towards the changing world in the author’s opinion?
A. Negative. B. Objective. C. Indifferent. D. Appreciative.
44. Why do only a few firms try to operate new ways?
A. Most firms are cautious about choosing a right way.
B. Most firms consider the world always the same.
C. Most firms feel very few changes in daily life.
D. Most firms prefer more efficient old ways.
45. Which order can show the CORRECT relationship among experiences, feelings and actions?
A. Feelings→actions→experiences. B. Actions→feelings→experiences.
C. Experiences→actions→feelings. D. Experiences→feelings→actions.

五、书面表达
第一节:阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,用英语回答问题
Putting on weight could be a side-effect of loneliness, research suggests. Women, who feel lonely, are hungrier, and they even find a big meal less satisfying. This could be the body’s way of telling them to seek company, for eating has been a sociable activity throughout human evolution.
The researchers asked 42 women not to eat overnight, and then gave them a large breakfast. The women rated their hunger before and after their meal and blood samples which revealed their levels of ghrelin --- the “hunger hormone (激素)”. As expected, levels of ghrelin fell after eating and then started to rise. However, the rise was much quicker in the lonely women, and they made much more of the hormone. They also said they felt hungrier. They said: “The need for social connection is essential to human nature. As a result, people may feel hungrier when they feel socially disconnected.”
Interestingly, loneliness only makes thin women hungrier. It has no effect on the appetite of those who are corpulent. It isn’t clear why this is, but it is possible that the shame related with being fat makes socializing less valuable for them. Other studies suggest you should choose your company carefully at mealtimes. It has been shown that we tend to mimic (模仿) our dining companion’s eating habits, taking mouthfuls at the same time and eating more when our companion does. The link with appetite could help explain the range of devastating effects loneliness can have on health.
Being cut off from friends and family can raise blood pressure, stress and the risk of depression, as well as weakening the immune system (免疫系统) and a person’s resistance to disease (早老性痴呆). Overall, loneliness is as damaging as smoking or not exercising.
46. How will the lonely people react, according to Paragraph 1? (no more than 5 words)

Scientists have known for many years that houseplants benefit people’s well-being. Now researchers have found a way to make plants even better for human health. Using a method called genetic modification(基因编辑), they raised plants that reduce indoor air pollution. GM means changing a plant or animal by fixing its DNA, including adding DNA from another species(物种).
Indoor air pollution is produced by cleaning products, cooking, and dust, among other things, and it can be bad for people’s health. In 1989, research done by NASA found that houseplants could clean the air in a home. Later studies, however, showed that plants actually made too small a difference to help much. Since then, scientists have been experimenting with the DNA of certain houseplants to try to create one that will reduce more air pollution.
In 2018, scientists from the University of Washington decided to adapt a houseplant called pothos, or devil’s ivy, which is popular and easy to care for. The team added new DNA based on a chemical found in a rabbit’s liver. In the animal, the chemical breaks down harmful matter. The team found that the new DNA made the plant better at taking in pollution.
More recently, a company called Neoplants added more DNA, from two types of bacteria(细菌). As the devil’s ivy grow, the team studied it carefully. Tests suggested that it was up to 30 times better at taking in pollution than the non-GM plants that NASA tested back in 1989. The company is also planning to add bacteria to the soil that comes with the plant, which could help break down even more polluting gases.
There is more work to be done, but the team at Neoplants plans to use this technology in other types of houseplants. If all goes well, the company hopes people in the US will be able to decorate their homes with pollution-busting plants by next year. Another company, Origen Air, sells a plant-based system that cleans the air in businesses and homes. It has already appeared on the market in Canada.
39. How can houseplants benefit people’s health according to the text?
A. By relaxing people’s minds. B. By producing more oxygen.
C. By cutting down air pollution. D. By killing the bacteria in the air.
40. What do we know about pothos from the text?
A. It is a rare and high-demanding houseplant.
B. NASA was the first to study its health benefits.
C. The plant itself can break down harmful chemicals.
D. GM technology betters its ability to reduce air pollution.
41. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. No similar plant-based system has been put into use up till now.
B. Further improvements are needed before the system goes into service.
C. Application of the technology to other types of houseplants is already underway.
D. Neoplants’ genetically modified houseplants are sure to appear on the market soon.
42. In which section of a magazine may this text appear?
A. Health and sport. B. Arts and entertainment.
C. Science and technology. D. Animals and the environment.
【答案】39. C 40. D 41. B 42. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了研究人员发现通过基因改造的室内植物,可以更好地降低室内空气污染。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“Using a method called genetic modification(基因编辑), they raised plants that reduce indoor air pollution.( 通过一种叫做基因改造的方法,他们种植了可以减少室内空气污染的植物。)”可知,室内植物通过削减空气污染有利于人们的健康。故选C。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In 2018, scientists from the University of Washington decided to adapt a houseplant called pothos, or devil’s ivy, which is popular and easy to care for. The team added new DNA based on a chemical found in a rabbit’s liver. In the animal, the chemical breaks down harmful matter. The team found that the new DNA made the plant better at taking in pollution.(2018年,华盛顿大学的科学家们决定改造一种名为pothos或魔鬼常春藤的室内植物,这种植物很受欢迎,也很容易照顾。研究小组根据在兔子肝脏中发现的一种化学物质添加了新的DNA。在动物体内,这种化学物质分解有害物质。研究小组发现,新的DNA使植物更好地吸收污染。)”可知,基因科技提高了pothos减少空气污染的能力。故选D。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“There is more work to be done, but the team at Neoplants plans to use this technology in other types of houseplants. If all goes well, the company hopes people in the US will be able to decorate their homes with pollution-busting plants by next year.(还有更多的工作要做,但Neoplants的团队计划将这项技术应用于其他类型的室内植物。如果一切顺利,该公司希望到明年,美国人就能在家里装饰能破坏污染的植物。)”可推断,在该体系投入使用之前,还需要进行进一步的改进。故选B。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Now researchers have found a way to make plants even better for human health. Using a method called genetic modification(基因编辑), they raised plants that reduce indoor air pollution. (现在,研究人员发现了一种让植物对人类健康更有益的方法。通过一种叫做基因改造的方法,他们种植了可以减少室内空气污染的植物。)”以及下文可知,文章讲述了研究人员发现通过基因改造的室内植物,可以更好地降低室内空气污染,因此推断文章最有可能来自科学与技术,故选C。

Very few people will challenge you if you say that the world seems to be changing faster and faster. Of course, some people will. They will mention how change has occurred throughout history. We may be on an up cycle right now, but things will slow down again, as they have over and over for thousands of years. But I don’t think most people — even those who agree that change is coming faster — really appreciate the consequences of the high speed of that change.
The speed of everything is going up and up. And this is now demanding that we run organizations in a different way. However, the number of public or private firms who are trying to adopt new ways is very small. Why should this be so? I think the answer lies in the fact we believe. For the most part, it is highly influenced by our own personal experiences. And when it comes to change, the world we see today and the world we saw two or three or four months ago are rarely very different. Indeed our experiences can be literally 99.5% the same.We get up, get ready for work, and get on the subway, not paying attention to the depth of the seawall (海堤), because it doesn’t affect us today.
So even if we know that things are changing and changing faster, what we see and feel is very different. And our experiences, and the feelings that we get from them, are very influential in determining our behavior. So if we don’t feel things are changing that much, we won’t actively and aggressively (有冲劲地) look for new ways to adapt to that change. It’s really that simple. And increasingly, it’s really that dangerous.
The way we absorb information, and the way we act on it, are not going to change because the structure of our brains or bodies will not suddenly change. The latter only happens over very long periods of time. What can help? Big ideas that produce big light bulbs over our heads can help. A constant focus on change — opportunities and risks — can help. A sense of urgency (紧迫) to find and use new opportunities might help.
43. What is most people’s attitude towards the changing world in the author’s opinion?
A. Negative. B. Objective. C. Indifferent. D. Appreciative.
44. Why do only a few firms try to operate new ways?
A. Most firms are cautious about choosing a right way.
B. Most firms consider the world always the same.
C. Most firms feel very few changes in daily life.
D. Most firms prefer more efficient old ways.
45. Which order can show the CORRECT relationship among experiences, feelings and actions?
A. Feelings→actions→experiences. B. Actions→feelings→experiences.
C. Experiences→actions→feelings. D. Experiences→feelings→actions.
【答案】43. A 44. C 45. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了人们因日常经验的影响而对快速变化的世界缺乏紧迫感,导致适应缓慢。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“But I don’t think most people — even those who agree that change is coming faster — really appreciate the consequences of the high speed of that change.(可在我看来,大多数人 —— 即便他们也认同变化正在加速 —— 都并未真正意识到这种高速变化背后潜藏的种种影响)”可推知,作者认为大多数人对世界不断发展变化带来的后果持消极态度。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“I think the answer lies in the fact we believe. For the most part, it is highly influenced by our own personal experiences. And when it comes to change, the world we see today and the world we saw two or three or four months ago are rarely very different. Indeed our experiences can be literally 99.5% the same. We get up, get ready for work, and get on the subway, not paying attention to the depth of the seawall (海堤), because it doesn’t affect us today.(我认为答案在于我们所相信的事物。在大多数情况下,这很大程度上受到我们个人经历的影响。而谈到改变时,今天我们所看到的世界与两三个月前我们所看到的世界,很少有太大差异。事实上,我们的经历可能几乎完全相同,高达99.5%。我们起床、准备上班、登上地铁,却对海堤的深度毫不在意,因为这对我们今天毫无影响)”可推知,很少有企业采用新的运营方式,是因为在日常生活中多数企业很少能切实感受到世界正在发生变化。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“So even if we know that things are changing and changing faster, what we see and feel is very different. And our experiences, and the feelings that we get from them, are very influential in determining our behavior.(因此,即使我们知道事情正在发生变化,而且变化速度越来越快,但我们所看到和感受到的却大不相同。我们的经历以及由此产生的感受,在决定我们的行为方面具有非常大的影响力)”可知,我们的经历影响我们的感受,而这些感受又决定了我们的行为。因此,正确的顺序是:Experiences→Feelings→Actions。
第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)
五、书面表达
第一节:阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,用英语回答问题
Putting on weight could be a side-effect of loneliness, research suggests. Women, who feel lonely, are hungrier, and they even find a big meal less satisfying. This could be the body’s way of telling them to seek company, for eating has been a sociable activity throughout human evolution.
The researchers asked 42 women not to eat overnight, and then gave them a large breakfast. The women rated their hunger before and after their meal and blood samples which revealed their levels of ghrelin --- the “hunger hormone (激素)”. As expected, levels of ghrelin fell after eating and then started to rise. However, the rise was much quicker in the lonely women, and they made much more of the hormone. They also said they felt hungrier. They said: “The need for social connection is essential to human nature. As a result, people may feel hungrier when they feel socially disconnected.”
Interestingly, loneliness only makes thin women hungrier. It has no effect on the appetite of those who are corpulent. It isn’t clear why this is, but it is possible that the shame related with being fat makes socializing less valuable for them. Other studies suggest you should choose your company carefully at mealtimes. It has been shown that we tend to mimic (模仿) our dining companion’s eating habits, taking mouthfuls at the same time and eating more when our companion does. The link with appetite could help explain the range of devastating effects loneliness can have on health.
Being cut off from friends and family can raise blood pressure, stress and the risk of depression, as well as weakening the immune system (免疫系统) and a person’s resistance to disease (早老性痴呆). Overall, loneliness is as damaging as smoking or not exercising.
46. How will the lonely people react, according to Paragraph 1? (no more than 5 words)
_____________________________________________________________
47. What does the body want to tell by being hungry? (no more than 7 words)
_____________________________________________________________
48. What is essential to human nature? (no more than 5 words)
_____________________________________________________________
49. What does the underlined word “corpulent” probably mean? (1 word )
_____________________________________________________________
50. What do you tend to do while feeling lonely? (no more than 30 words)
________________________________________________________________
【答案】46. They will feel hungry.
47. You should go to seek company.
48. The need for social connection.
49. Fat. / Overweight.
50. (open) I’d like to call up my best friend, and have a good talk with each other.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。旨在阐明孤独和饥饿之间的关系,以及带来的害处。
【46题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段第二句“Women, who feel lonely, are hungrier, and they even find a big meal less satisfying.(感到孤独的女人会更饿,甚至会觉得一顿大餐不太令人满意。)”可知,孤独的人会产生的一个反应是饥饿。故答案为They will feel hungry。
【47题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段最后一句“This could be the body’s way of telling them to seek company, for eating has been a sociable activity throughout human evolution.(这可能是身体告诉他们寻求陪伴的方式,因为在人类进化过程中,吃饭一直是一种社交活动。)”可知,人体通过饥饿感告诉人类应该去吃东西、去社交获得陪伴。故答案为You should go to seek company。
【48题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段倒数第二句“The need for social connection is essential to human nature.(对社会联系的需求对人的天性至关重要。)”可知对人类天性至关重要的是对社会联系的需求。故答案为The need for social connection。
【49题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据第三段第二句“It isn’t clear why this is, but it is possible that the shame related with being fat makes socializing less valuable for them.(目前尚不清楚这是为什么,但可能是因为与肥胖相关的羞耻感降低社交对他们的价值。)”可知那些没有因为孤独而感到饥饿的人是肥胖的人。在句中corpulent作表语,故可推测其为形容词,意为“肥胖的,超重的”。故答案为Fat或者Overweight。
【50题详解】
考查推理判断。根据最后一段第一句“Being cut off from friends and family can raise blood pressure, stress and the risk of depression, as well as weakening the immune system (免疫系统) and a person’s resistance to disease (早老性痴呆).(与朋友和家人断绝联系会增加血压、压力和患抑郁症的风险,还会削弱免疫系统和一个人对疾病的抵抗力。)”可知,与家人朋友失去联系、处于孤独状态对人有很大的害处。故因此我们要尽量杜绝这种情况的出现,如果感到孤独就应该寻求社交,那么和好朋友打个电话好好聊聊就是一个好办法。故答案为I’d like to call up my best friend, and have a good talk with each other。
