B.difficultC.personalD.longn解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第二段Greene对这个问题的解释以及他说需要未来的物理学家去解决可知,作者提出的这个问题非常难。2.ThebooksbyWeinbergandSusskind________.A.areboringtoreadB.aremainlyaboutmathC.arepopularsciencebooksD.areonlypopularamongkids解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第三段的“...booksby...makeitagreattimeforpeoplewhowanttolearnaboutbigideasbutaren’tyetready,perhaps,tolearnmath”可知,Greene认为Weinberg和Susskind等物理学家写的书浅显易懂,适合普通大众阅读,故这些书属于科普读物。3.AccordingtoParagraph4,whichofthefollowingdoesGreeneagreewith?A.Modernphysicsisaboringsubject.B.Interestplaysanimportantroleinstudying.C.Itisnotnecessarytolearnallaboutphysics.D.ItiseasytodescribeblackholesandtheBigBang.解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第四段可知,当作者指出一些学生觉得物理无聊时,Greene说重要的是向孩子们讲述一些稀奇古怪的事,并描述一些诸如黑洞和宇宙大爆炸的现代物理现象,如果孩子们知道了这些,他们就愿意了解更多详细的内容。因此他认为兴趣在学习过程中起着非常重要的作用。4.Inthelastparagraph,Greenehopesthat________.A.kidscanlovescienceandphysicsB.kidscandowellinphysicsexamsC.kidscanhavefunwithexperimentsD.kidscanfindmorestrangethingsinlife解析:选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“GreenehasfollowedAlbertEinstein’sleadintryingtosolvethemysteriesoftheuniverse.Nowhewantskidstodothesame.”可知,Greene希望孩子们可以像他一样对科学和物理感兴趣,去探索宇宙的奥秘。BSirJohnGurdon,aBritishscientist,whowontheNobelPrizeinPhysiologyorMedicinein2012,saidhehadpredictedatthetimeofhisfrogexperimentsthatthesuccessfulcloningofamammalwouldhappenwithin50years,andthat“maybethesameanswerisappropriate”forthesteptohumancloning.Parentswholosenchildreninaccidentsmaybeabletoclone“copies”toreplacethemthen.Althoughanyattempttocloneanentirehumanwouldraisecomplexmoralissues,thebiologistclaimedpeoplewouldsoonovercometheirconcernsifthetechniquebecamemedicallyuseful.CloningwasregardedwithextremedoubtswhenitwasfirstdevelopedbutbecamewidelyacceptedafterthebirthofLouiseBrown,thefirst“testtubebaby”.Hesaid,“Whenmyfirstfrogexperimentsweredone,anAmericanreporteraskedhowlongitwouldbebeforethesethingscouldbedoneinmammalsorhumans.Isaid,’Well,itcouldbeanytimebetween10yearsand100years—howabout50years?’Itturnedoutthatitwasn’tfaroffthemarkasfarasDollywasconcerned.Maybethesameanswerisappropriate.”SirJohnaddedthatcloningahumanbeingeffectivelymeansmakinganidenticaltwin,anddoctorswouldthereforesimplybe“copyingwhatnaturehasalreadyproduced”.Theaveragevoteonallowingparentsofdeceasedchildren,whoarenolongerfertile(能生育的),tocreateanotherbyusingthemother’seggsandskincellsfromthefirstchild,thinkingthetechniquewassafeandeffective,is60percentinfavor.Thereasonsfor“no”areusuallythatthenewchildrenwouldfeeltheyaresomesortofreplacementsforsomething.语篇解读:诺贝尔生理学或医学奖得主、英国科学家约翰·格登爵士称,那些在事故中失去子女的父母将能在未来50年内借助克隆技术,让他们的子女得到“重生”。5.SirJohnpredictedthehumancloningwouldbearealityin________atmost.A.about100years B.about60yearsC.about50yearsD.about10years解析:选C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段可知,格登爵士表示,在未来50年内,那些在事故中失去孩子的父母将有可能通过克隆技术得到孩子的“复制品”。故选C项。6.Accordingtothetext,whichstatementisNOTtrue?A.LouiseBrownisthefirst“testtubebaby”.B.Humancloningisstillacontroversialtopic.C.SirJohnispositiveaboutthefutureofhumancloning.D.Humancloningiscreatingsomethingthatdidn’texistbefore.解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“afterthebirthofLouiseBrown,thefirst’testtubebaby’”可排除A项;文章尾段说明赞成者占6成,故排除B项;根据第二段中格登爵士的话可知,他对克隆人充满了希望,故排除C项;根据第二段的尾句可知,D项表述不正确。n7.Theunderlinedword“identical”probablymeans“______”.A.sameB.specialC.newD.clear解析:选A 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“twin”和文中的“doctorswouldthereforesimplybe’copyingwhatnaturehasalreadyproduced’”可知,A项正确。8.Itcanbeinferredfromthepassagethat________.A.mostpeoplecastdoubtonJohn’sexperimentsB.humancloningisandwillbeonlyadreamC.fewchildrenlovetobeclonedinthefutureD.humancloningmayberealizedsomeday解析:选D 推理判断题。根据文章第二段的第一句可知,虽然克隆人类的尝试将引起复杂的道德问题,但是生物学家声称如果克隆技术变得有医学价值,人们很快就会消除他们的担心,因此可推断D项正确。CElizabethBlackwellwasbornonFebruary3,1821inEngland.Whileshewasgrowingup,twoofherbrothersandsixofhersistersdied.Elizabethdecidedtobecomeadoctor.Herfatherwasasugarbusinessman.Heencouragedequality(平等)betweenboysandgirlsso,unlikemostgirls,Elizabethhadthesameeducationasboys.Onenight,whenElizabethwaseleven,afiredestroyedherfamily’sbusiness.ThefamilybecamesopoorthatMr.BlackwelldecidedtogotoAmerica.WhenthefamilyreachedNewYork,Mr.Blackwelltriedtostartanewbusiness,butfailed.In1837,hedied.Afterbeingrefusedseveraltimesbymedicalschools,ElizabethwasfinallyacceptedbyGenevaMedicalCollegeinNewYork,largelyasajoke.Peoplethere,evenwomen,thoughtshewasindecent(下流的)andaskedhertoleave.Butwithgreatdetermination,Elizabethgraduatedwithhighhonors.Aftergraduation,ElizabethwenttoParistolearnmoreaboutmedicine.ElizabethreturnedtoAmericain1851.Thereshehelpedotherwomenbecomedoctorsandopenedamedicinestore.Then,shebeggedherrichfriendstogivemoneytobuildahospital.Elizabeth’sdreamcametruein1857whentheNewYorkInfirmaryForWomenandChildrenopeneditsdoors.Itwasthefirsttruehospitalforwomen,runbywomendoctorsintheworld.In1868,thehospitalopenedamedicalcollegeforwomen.Afterthat,ElizabethreceivedaletterfromEuropeaskinghertocometoherhomelandnanddoforthewomenofEuropewhatshehaddoneinAmerica.ShereturnedtoEnglandin1869.Theresheservedforfortyyears,whichmadeherahero.语篇解读:本文介绍了美国首位取得医学博士学位的伟大女性ElizabethBlackwell。9.WhatmadeElizabethwanttobeadoctor?A.Herpoorfamily.B.Herfather’sadvice.C.Herfamilymembers’earlydeath.D.Theinequalitybetweengirlsandboys.解析:选C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段的内容可知,Elizabeth年幼时她的兄弟姐妹相继死亡,这让她产生了当医生的想法。10.WhydidElizabeth’sfamilymovetoAmerica?A.Tosellmoresugar.B.Tolookforchancestolive.C.Toopenahospitalforwomen.D.TohelpElizabethstudymedicine.解析:选B 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的内容可知,Elizabeth一家搬到美国是为了寻找生存的机会。11.ItcanbeinferredfromPara.4thatinAmerica________.A.hardlyanywomenstudiedmedicineB.studyingmedicinewasconsidereddecentC.womenwerenotallowedtoreceiveeducationD.womenandchildrensufferedalotfrompoorhealth解析:选A 推理判断题。文章第四段讲到Elizabeth一开始遭到很多家医学院的拒绝,在她被纽约的一家医学院录取后,当地的人们甚至是妇女都认为她学医很下流,都斥责她让她离开,由此可知当时几乎没有女性学医,因为在人们看来女性学医是一件下流的事情。12.WhichistherightorderofthefollowingeventsaboutElizabeth?a.Sheopenedthefirsthospitalforwomen.b.SheopenedamedicinestoreinAmerica.c.HerfamilymovedtoNewYork.d.Shegraduatedfromamedicalschool.e.ShereturnedtoEnglandtoserve.f.Herfamily’sbusinesswasdestroyed.g.ShewenttoParistostudymedicine.A.cfdgbaeB.fcdgbaenC.fcgdbaeD.fcgdbea解析:选B 事件排序题。根据文章内容可知所列事件的正确顺序是:Elizabeth家的生意因火灾而破产→她全家搬到纽约谋生→她从医学院毕业→她到巴黎进修→她在美国开了一家药店→她开了第一家妇幼医院→她返回家乡做贡献。Ⅱ.阅读七选五HowteenscanstayfitAnytypeofregular,physicalactivitycanimproveyourfitnessandyourhealth.__1__Exerciseshouldbearegularpartofyourday,likebrushingyourteeth,eatingandsleeping.Itcanbeingymclass,joiningasportsteam,orworkingoutonyourown.Keepthefollowingtipsinmind:__2__Agoodattitudeisimportant.Findanactivitythatyouthinkisfun.Youaremorelikelytostickwithitifyouchoosesomethingyoulike.Alotofpeoplefindit’smorefuntoexercisewithsomeoneelse,soseeifyoucanfindafriendorfamilymembertobeactivewithyou.Takeitonestepatatime.__3__Forexample,walkorrideyourbiketoschool.Getonoroffthebusseveralblocksawayandwalktherestoftheway.Usethestairsinsteadoftakingtheelevator.Getyourheartpumping(跳动).Whateveryouchoose,makesureitincludesaerobic(有氧的)activitythatmakesyoubreatheharderandincreasesyourheartrate.Thisisthebesttypeofexercisebecauseitincreasesyourfitnesslevelandmakesyourheartworkbetter.__4__Examplesofaerobicactivitiesarebasketball,running,orswimming.Don’tforgettowarmup.Withsomeeasyexercisesorstretching(拉伸)beforeyoudoanyphysicalactivity.__5__Itisalsoimportanttostretchoutafteryouexercisetocooldownyourmuscles.A.Italsoburnsoffbodyfat.B.Staypositiveandhavefun.C.Makephysicalactivityahabit.D.Smallchangescanadduptobetterfitness.E.Themostimportantthingisthatyoukeepmoving!F.Thiswarmsyourmusclesupandmayhelpprotectagainstinjury.G.Dotheactivityasoftenaspossible,butdon’texercisetothepointofpain.n语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章向青少年介绍了几条如何保持身体健康的建议。1.选E
