21、   Extinctions are seldom a cause for celebration. Humans are wiping out species at a frightening rate, whether hunting them into history or, far more threateningly, damaging the habitats on which they depend. How, then, to think about a new technology that will make driving a species to extinction far easier?

That technology is known as a gene drive, so called because it uses genetic engineering to drive certain features through a population. Those characteristics need not be harmful: they might become stronger against disease among crops or, perhaps, greater tolerance to warming waters on the part of corals. And if the species in question were the three types of mosquito responsible for spreading malaria(疟疾), it could save close to half a million lives a year, many of them children. The same approach could be used against other diseases such as Lyme disease, and Zika. Gene drives also offer us a potential weapon against foreign species such as foxes, mice, rabbits and rats, which are threatening native species in some parts of the world.

Normally genes have a 50:50 chance of being passed on during reproduction. Gene drives tip the evolutionary scales. One area of research focuses on genes that can copy themselves to the second, ensuring that they will be passed on by all offspring(后代). Like many technologies, however, gene drives may lead to bad outcomes as well as good. They could in theory make a species extinct. One concern is practical: removing a species from the food chain could have unintended consequences, particularly if gene drives can move to a closely related species. Another relates to governance. Genetically modified crops can be kept relatively contained; animals carrying gene drives could be mobile and respect no borders. One country’s decision to use gene drives will have consequences for its neighbors. A third worry concerns improper uses of the technology, and not only by states. A mosquito, engineered to inject toxins(毒素), could be used as a weapon. But putting the brakes on research may pay real costs: not just the annual rising number of deaths taken by malaria and other killers before an answer is found, but also slower progress towards making gene drives safer.

【1】What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?

A. Diseases spread among crops. B. The definition of gene drives.

C. The bright sides of gene drives. D. The possible ways against diseases.

【2】What does the underlined word “governance” in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Management. B. Adjustment. C. Instructions. D. Relevance.

【3】What attitude does the author have towards gene drive research?

A. Unconcerned. B. Disapproving. C. Ambiguous. D. Supportive.

【4】What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Pros and Cons of Gene Drives

B. Gene Drives Make Our Life Safer

C. Dangers Gene Drives Bring to Us

D. One Concern We don’t Ignore

22、

Babbel is an excellent language tool to help you progress step by step with learning a new language. It helps you learn grammar along the way as you work your way through the tasks and assignments.

24、The koala(考拉) is possibly one of the best known Australian animals, and is found in four states: Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.

The word “koala” comes from an Australian word meaning “no drink”. Sometimes people call them “koala bears” but koala is not a bear. It belongs to a special group of Australian mammals, called marsupial(有袋类). Female marsupials have a pouch where the baby animals live after they are born.

Koalas have soft, thick, gray or brown fur on their backs. The fur on the stomach is white. The Koala in the south have thicker fur than those in the north because of the cold winters. However, the koalas in the northern part live in warm to hot weather most of the year, so they have thinner fur.A koala has a large nose and round ears. Koalas don’t have tails. Adult koalas weigh between 7kg and 14 kg.

Koalas spend nearly all their time in the trees. They sleep most of the day, but feed and move from tree to tree mainly at night.The reason koala sleep for much of the day is because their food, eucalyptus(桉树) leaves, are so hard that they need a lot of energy(能量;精力)to digest. Sleeping saves energy.

Each koala has a home made up of several trees that they visit regularly. They normally do not visit another koala’s home trees except that a male is looking for a female to mate with.

【1】Which of the following statements is NOT true about the name “koala bear”?

A. The name was given by the native in Australia

B. The word “koala” is an English word

C. The name describes one of its living habits

D. The name is partly wrong.

【2】Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “pouch”？

A. House   B. Cave   C. Bag   D. Nest

【3】. Why do the koalas live in the south have thicker fur than those in the north?

A. The thick fur can protect them from the colder weather

B. It’s always hot in summer in the north

C. It’s always cold in the winter in the south

D. They have to move to the north in the winter

【4】Why do koalas sleep much in the day?

A. Their foods are poisonous

B. Their food needs too much energy.

C. They want to save energy for the activities at night

D. They can’t get enough water from their leaves

25、One hot summer night, it occurred to me that it would be wise to buy a life insurance. I called the insurance agent for some information. From the questions I asked him, he could tell I knew______about insurance, so he kindly offered to help me______the kind of insurance I ought to be considering.

That night he appeared at my door at 7:30; without wasting time he spread his papers out on the kitchen table and began a_______explanation. I listened_______as he felt I ought to. After three or four hours of______, he kindly helped me fill out an form for a $50,000 insurance, and then asked if I could go to a Dr. Luther’s office on Friday for a_____   examination.

I don’t know why, but it was not until the_______of the doctor’s appointment that I realized fully what was happening. Suddenly I felt sure that I really did not want to buy the insurance. However,_______he had spent so much time with me, I didn’t want to make him feel that he had wasted his time. So I invented an______about things I had to do on Friday, and I promised I would call him in a few days. Actually, I had no______ of going to see Dr. Luther or of calling the agent again.

I wanted to______ the whole thing—it’s been over three months now since our meeting, and my friendly insurance agent still calls at my office_______two or three times a week. My secretary knows that I don’t want to talk to him, so when he calls she tells him that I’m in a meeting or that I’m away on a business trip. I realize now that it was a   ____ not to tell him that first night that I didn’t want the insurance. Since I still can’t bring myself to tell him directly that I’m not______, and please not to bother me anymore, all I can do is______ his calls and hope I don’t run into him some place.
