21、MANCHESTER, England — Here’s some good news that vegetarians (素食者) can really sink their teeth into: Researchers in UMA Group have developed genetically (转基因地) engineered fruit trees that produce real meat!

Fruit from the new Meat Trees, developed by British scientists using the gene technology, is closely like ordinary grape-fruit. But when you cut the fruit open, inside is fresh beef!

“Our trees may sound like something out of a science fiction movie, but it’s really true,”declares Dr. Vincent, director of the UMA Group, which created the amazing trees. “Vegetarians have been complaining for years that in spite of their firm belief against eating meat, they still desire the taste of meat once in a while. Now they can have their cake and eat it too.”

Although it’s taken 12 years to develop the trees, the idea is simple. “We take the genes from cattle and put them into the cells (细胞) of grape-fruit trees,” Dr. Vincent says. “When the seeds grow into trees, they produce meat instead of ordinary fruit. You get the taste — even the smell.”

Those who’ve tried the meat agree it tastes like the real thing. “I was a bit unwilling to believe at first when I sank my teeth into a hamburger after they told me it grew on a tree,” says Londoner Mark, who took part in a taste-test. “But it was juicy and delicious ─ nothing leafy about it at all.”

Meat Tree products could be on the market in Great Britain by the end of the year and on dinner plates in the U.S. by 2020. Some vegetarians insist they should never eat meat — even if it grew on a tree. Others love the idea. “My mouth is watering already,” says a devoted vegetarian of 20 years.

【1】According to what Dr. Vincent said, we know that ________.

A．vegetarians like to make a cake and enjoy it later

B．the idea of Meat Trees came from a science fiction movie

C．vegetarians can eat meat from the new trees

D．vegetarians can taste and even smell fruit from Meat Trees

【2】The passage tells us that ________.

A．Meat Tree products are sure to be popular with vegetarians

B．most vegetarians like the taste of fruit from Meat Trees

C．you can buy fruit from Meat Trees in the supermarket in Great Britain now

D．it’s hard to tell fruit on Meat Trees from ordinary fruit without cutting in

【3】In paragraph 5, the author took Mark for example to ________.

A．show he is one of the devoted vegetarians

B．prove the real taste of fruit from Meat Trees

C．tell how a vegetarian eats the new fruit

D．to explain how the taste-test is given

【4】By writing this passage, the author wants to ________.

A．show readers a new achievement in gene technology

B．encourage people to eat fruit from Meat Trees

C．explain how meat is produced on trees

D．tell vegetarians good news about Meat Trees

22、Skipping classes violates school rules and a poor attendance record will damage your final mark. But some college students still try every means to escape classes. The number of these rebels may be much bigger than you think. Three students from Anhui Normal University established Itaoke. Com in June. The website quickly attracted 2000 registered members in three months. On the website, students share their experiences of skipping classes and even post ads to look for someone to stand in for them to attend courses. It’s embarrassing for universities to see this shameful behavior discussed.

However, it’s good for schools and teachers to know via the website the reasons why students skip classes, according to Professor Xiao Haitao from Shenzhen University. Xao pointed out that some students skip classes because of laziness. Others play truant because the teaching is truly dissatisfactory, “Universities can seek improvements to give a cure to the class-skipping problem,” said Xiao.

Chen Yang, 21, thinks that he is “forced” to skip some courses because of the poor teaching.  The senior, majoring in English at Yangtze University, thinks that he’s wasting time in the classroom when the teacher reads the textbook word for word or hands him outdated reading materials. He would rather skip classes to study in the library, watch online videos of Harvard or Yale lectures, or sit in on(旁听）other courses he is interested in. Chen draws a clear line between himself and those who skip classes in order to get more sleep or fool around on campus. He emphasized: “I skip classes with a clear goal, which is to probe into areas I’m interested in and broaden my horizons.”

Li Sicen, president of the National Taiwan University, seems to be on Chen’s side. Li claimed that he supported those students who skip classes for good reasons.

However, Professor Xiao warns students that Li is not giving permission for students to skip classes. Xiao suggests that Li was just showing his understanding of truancy in a limited number of cases.

In Professor Pan Cuiqiong’s opinion, students tend to jump to the conclusion that a certain course is boring and useless. “To clear students’ misunderstanding, teachers should use materials closely related to students’ lives and adapt interactive teaching methods,” said Pan.

Besides offering teachers more training, schools also need to give students different optional courses and ensure that they can attend the courses they are interested in, according to  Professor Xiao. Many Chinese students have the experience of being kicked out of an optional course because its size is limited. They are then forced to choose courses they dislike and are likely to skip them. We may learn from Sydney University in Australia. There aren’t any problems with numbers—if a course is popular then there will be more than one class per week.

【1】The underlined word “rebels” in Paragraph 1 refers to________________.

A. students who embarrass their universities   B. students who skip classes

C. students who quarrel with their parents   D. students who establish websites

【2】Chen Yang Skips some courses because________________．

A. the teaching style needs much improvement

B. he wants to get more sleep

C. he wants to fool around on campus

D. his school is more student-centered

【3】According to the passage, we learn that Professor Xiao________________．

A. is giving permission for students to skip classes

B. thinks it’s embarrassing for the three students to establish Itaoke. Com

C. claimed that he supported those students who skip classes for good reasons

D. thinks the website will help to know why students skip classes

【4】Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to stop students skipping classes?

A. Teachers should adopt practical materials and flexible teaching methods.

B. Schools should offer teachers more training.

C. Students should be punished if they skip classes.

D. Schools need to ensure that students can attend various courses they are interested in.

23、A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.

A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.

Men often discover their affinity (密切关系) to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, “Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this: “Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.

A good book is often the best urn(瓮) of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world ofa man’s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, if remembered and cherished, become our constant companions andcomforters.

Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort.

Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effects of time have been to filter out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.

【1】A good book may be among the best of friends because_____.

A. it changes over the past of time

B. it contains all kinds of knowledge

C. it doesn’t betray us when we are in trouble

D. it comforts us in youth and instructs us in age

【2】“Love me, love my book” in paragraph 3 probably means _______?

A. If you love me, you must reading books.

B. The book can be a bond between friends.

C. I love books as much I love friends.

D. If you love the author, you will love his books.

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Time can tell whether a literature is good or bad.

B. All books are our constant companions and comforters.

C. Temples, statues and books cannot stand the test of time.

D. The world of a man’s thoughts is what his life is all about.

【4】The best title for this passage can be.

A. Reading Books

B. A Good Book

C. Our Best Friend

D. Companionship of Books

24、   Previous researches show that you can change, through behavior, your sensitivity to different diseases based on your genetics, In other words, when you live in an environment that supports healthy aging, it likely affects your ability to successfully beat your genetic disadvantages through lifestyle changes. However, there was a blank in knowledge as to the exact environmental and social factors (因素）that make for an environment that best supports living to age 100,which a new study helped to address.

Researchers looked at state-provided data about the deaths of nearly 145, 000 Washingtonians who died at age 75 or older between 2011 and 2015. They found that neighborhood walkability, higher socioeconomic status, and a high percentage of working age population were positively connected with reaching age 100. These findings indicate that mixed-age communities are very beneficial for everyone involved. They also support the big push in growing urban centers toward making streets more walkable, which makes exercise more accessible to older adults and makes it easier for them to access medical care and grocery stores.

Finally, the researchers wanted to see in which areas of the state people had a higher probability of reaching age 100. For each neighborhood, they calculated the years of potential life lost (YPLL) ,or the average number of years dead individuals would have had to continue living to reach age 100. Neighborhoods with lower values for years of potential life lost were considered to have a higher likelihood of reaching age 100. When they mapped the years of potential life lost for all neighborhoods across the state, they saw groups with high likelihood of living to age 100 in higher socioeconomic areas in urban centers and small towns across the state.

While more research is needed to expand upon their findings, the researchers said the study findings could eventually be used to create healthier communities that promote lifetime in older adults.

【1】What is the purpose of the study?

A.To find the longest-living people.

B.To discover people's sensitivity to diseases.

C.To learn about the genes of long lifetime.

D.To identify the external factors in living long.

【2】How did the researchers carry out their study?

A.By experimenting in the lab.

B.By conducting some surveys.

C.By analyzing the previous data.

D.By comparing the young and the old.

【3】Which of the following disagrees with living a long life?

A.Good genes. B.Walking often.

C.Mixed-age neighbors. D.Living alone remotely.

【4】What can be learned from the text?

A.People with higher values for YPLL are more likely to reach age 100.

B.People with lower values for YPLL are more likely to reach age 100.

C.People with higher socioeconomic status are less likely to reach age 100.

D.People with lower socioeconomic status are more likely to reach age 100.
