A
We talk about people being “colourblind” but very few of us are.Even those who describe themselves as colourblind are normally just colour lack.A strongly colourblind person will still be able to tell 20 different colours,compared to the 100 or so that normalsighted people see.
Pingelap,a tiny island in the Pacific,is a beautiful spot but one that has a genetic trouble.It is known as Colourblind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only see in black and white.
Not being able to see in colour is bad enough.But one islander,Herrol,who's a fisherman,also struggles in full sunlight because all he sees is a painful burntout image.“I find it difficult to go outside in the sun because when it's sunny I cannot see to do my work.”
But if being truly colourblind is rare,why is it that around 10% of the population of Pingelap live in a totally black and white world?
Well,we know that in 1780 the population of Pingelap was all but wiped out by a tsunami(海啸).As few as 20 people survived,one of whom was the king.It's believed that he had a genetic fault that caused colourblindness and he passed this fault on to his many generations.
There is one advantage.Herrol can see well,really well,in the dark.So when it gets dark,Herrol and his friends get in their boats and hunt flying fish.They hang up flaming torches and the fish are attracted to the flames.“This type of fishing is fun,”Herrol says,“especially if we catch plenty.So even though it's hard work we enjoy it.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。平格拉普岛因很多居民是色盲而闻名。由于统治该岛海啸后幸存下来的国王是色盲,他将这一基因遗传给了后代。
1.What is Pingelap famous for?
A.A tiny island.
B.A beautiful island.
C.A mentally troubled island.
D.A colourblind island.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“It is known as Colourblind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only see in black and white.”可知,Pingelap因为岛上很多居民是色盲而出名,故D项正确。
2.What can we infer about Herrol?
6
A.He may stay at home when it's sunny.
B.He is interested in burntout images.
C.He likes taking photos very much.
D.He doesn't live in Pingelap any more.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句Herrol所说的话“I find it difficult to go outside in the sun because when it's sunny I cannot see to do my work.”可知,Herrol发现在阳光下他无法看清东西,所以无法工作;据此可以判断,阳光充足时他可能会待在家里,故A项正确。
3.Why are about onetenth of people in Pingelap seriously colourblind?
A.Because Pingelap often suffers from tsunamis.
B.Because the king had an unlucky marriage.
C.Because the king's genetic fault played a role.
D.Because the king made a serious mistake.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的最后一句“It's believed that he had a genetic fault that caused colourblindness and he passed this fault on to his many generations.”可知,该岛海啸后幸存下来的国王是色盲,他将这一基因遗传给了后代,故岛上很多人是色盲,故C项正确。
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A.The Island of Colourblindness
B.The Disadvantage of Herrol
C.The History of Pingelap
D.The Advantage of Colourblindness
解析:选A 标题归纳题。通读全文尤其是第二段的第二句“It is known as Colourblind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only see in black and white.”可知,本文主要介绍了色盲岛——Pingelap,故A项最适合作本文标题。

Smoking is harmful.But as soon as you quit the habit,everything will be OK,right?
Wrong.New research has found that even if you give up smoking,the damage it has done to your genes(基因) will stay there for a much longer time.In the research,a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people.Among them,some were smokers,some used to smoke,and the rest were nonsmokers.Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed—a
6
number that is onethird of known human genes.
According to NBC News,both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes.Some people may have had the changes when they were born,but most people get them in their daytoday lives while doing things like smoking.
When you stop smoking,a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years.
This means your body is trying to heal(治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking.But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer.They can stay for as long as 30 years.It's almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement(水泥)—it will always be there,even when you've walked away and when the cement becomes dry.
Although the study results may make people unhappy,there is a bright side:the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.
【解题导语】 新的调查研究发现,由于吸烟而引起的基因突变在戒烟后并不会马上消失,而是会在体内保留一段时间,这些基因突变大部分会在五年内恢复正常,但有一些甚至三十年都不会恢复。
5.The function of Paragraph 1 is to ________.
A.show the main idea of the passage
B.give an example
C.make an argument
D.introduce the topic of the passage
解析:选D 篇章结构题。第一段提出了这样一个问题:“吸烟是有害的,但是只要你戒烟,一切都会恢复正常,对吗?”第二段给出了回答,接着下文便从一些调查研究的结果开始解释这个问题。文章围绕这一问题展开,所以第一段的作用是引出本文的主题。故选D。
6.Most genetic changes happen because of________.
A.people's condition at birth
B.people's bad living habits
C.environmental pollution
D.heart disease and cancer
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知,一些人的基因突变是生下来就有的,但大部分人的基因突变是由于日复一日地做一些(有害身体的)事,比如吸烟,而积累下来的。故选B。
7.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to “________”.
6
A.the genetic change
B.the cement
C.the harmful effect
D.the footprint
解析:选D 代词指代题。根据画线词所在句可知,这就像在水泥上留下的脚印——即使你走开,即使水泥变干的时候,脚印将一直留在那里。故it指代“脚印”。
8.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.The findings are the fruit of more than three years' research.
B.The findings have prevented more people from starting smoking.
C.The findings help to find cures for genetic damage caused by smoking.
D.The findings offer evidence that a damaged gene can heal itself.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking”可知,这些发现有助于科学家发明用于治疗由于吸烟引起的基因破坏的药物。故选C。
