第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和D)中，选出最佳选项。AA British scientist whose schoolmasters told him he was too stupid to study science has been awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine for his pioneering work on cloning. At the age of 15, John Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys in his school at biology, and was in the bottom set in every other science subject. Sixty-four years later he has been recognized as one of the finest minds of his generation after being awarded the ￡750,000 prizes, which he shares with Japanese stem cell (干细胞)researcher Shinya Yamanaka.John revealed that his school report, which noted that for him to study science at University would be a waste of time, still sits on his desk at the Gurdon Institute in Cambridge. After receiving the report he switched his attention to classics and was offered a place to study at Christ Church, Oxford, but was allowed to switch courses and read zoology instead. It was at Oxford as a postgraduate student that he published his research on genetics and proved for the first time that every cell in the body contains the same genes. He did so by taking a cell from an adult frog’s intestine (肠), removing its genes and putting them into an egg cell, which grew into a clone of the adult frog. The idea was controversial at the time because it contradicted previous studies, and it was a decade before his work became widely accepted. But it later led directly to the cloning of Dolly the Sheep by Prof Ian Wilmut in 1996.He received a call from the Swedish Academy telling him he had won the prize, but he was initially suspicious that the call was a trick by a friend or colleague speaking in a Swedish accent. 56. When John Gurdon was fifteen, he________. A. performed badly in science subjects. B. ranked last in every subject in his school C. showed great interest in working on cloning D. was not clever enough to go on with his study57. According to the passage, the school report________. A. meant nothing to John Gurdon B. had a long-term effect on John Gurdon C. encouraged John Gurdon to work harder on science D. advised John Gurdon to study classics at Christ Church58. How did John Gurdon prove that his idea is right? A. By reasoning. B. By questioning. C. By doing experiments D. By quoting(引用) others’ research59. When John Gurdon was informed of his winning the Nobel Prize, he felt________. A. excited B. calm C. relaxed D. doubtful

CMore and more people are taking their iPads to bed with them to surf the web, check Facebook or send emails before switching off the light. But researchers are warning that the blue light their screens give off can stop users getting a good night’s sleep. That is because this type of light is similar to daylight, convincing the brain that it is still daytime. Blue light prevents the production of a brain chemical called melatonin (褪黑激素)，which helps us fall asleep. By contrast, light which is more orange or red does not prevent melatonin production, perhaps because our brains recognize it as a cue (暗示)that the day ends. Scientists have known for years that staring at screens late in the evening can affect sleep – be they television screens, computer screens or mobile phone screens. However, because mobiles and iPads are by nature portable – not to say addictive – more people are taking them into the bedroom. Users also tend to hold them much closer to their eyes than a computer or television screen. Researchers are warning that looking at iPad displays for more than two hours leads to lower natural melatonin levels as the devices give off blue light. They say, “Turning off the devices at night is the final solution. But if you have to use these devices at night, dim the display to cut down irritation (刺激) of the eyes and limit the time you spend on them before bed.”They wrote in the journal Applied Ergonomics that iPad makers should adjust the spectral power distribution (光谱功率分布) of the devices so that they affect the sleep patterns of users less. It is not just a good night’s sleep that could be harmed by too much late night screen time. Researchers know that long-term harm to sleep patterns can lead to an increased risk of obesity and even cancers. 64. Blue light prevents iPad users from sleeping well because ________. A. it makes the brain more active B. it can help decrease the production of melatonin C. it is brighter than light that is more orange or red D. it is the same as daylight which keeps people awake65. The underlined phrase “dim the display” means ________. A. turn off the display B. keep away from the display C. clean the display carefully D. make the display less bright66. In the last paragraph, the author intends to ________. A. show the danger of obesity and cancers B. call on researchers to study sleep patterns C. warn of the seriousness of long-term poor sleep D. show how sleep is harmed by using iPads too much67. What’s the main idea of the text? A. People should limit the use of electronic devices. B. Using iPads before bed can cause a poor night’s sleep. C. Scientists are warning that blue light is bad for our health. D. Looking at screens of iPads increases chances of sleeplessness.
DFishes are expected to be reduced in size by up to 24% because of global warming, say scientists. Scientists believe that global warming has a greater effect on marine ecosystems (海洋生态系统) than previously thought. Previous researches have suggested that increasing ocean temperatures would affect both the distribution and the reproductive abilities of fishes. Now scientists believe that fish size would also be heavily affected. Researchers built a model to see how fishes would react to the lower level of oxygen in water. Ocean temperatures increase and so do the body temperatures of fishes. But, according to the leading scientist Dr William Cheung, the lower level of oxygen in water is the key. Warmer waters could reduce the ocean oxygen level and greatly reduce fishes’ body weight. On the other hand, rising temperature directly increase the metabolic (新陈代谢的) rate of fishes’ body function. This leads to an increase in oxygen demand for normal body activities. So fishes will run out of oxygen for growth at a smaller body size. The research group also used its model to predict fishes’ movements as a result of warming waters. The group believes that most fishes’ populations will move towards the Earth’s poles at a rate of up to 3.3 km per year. Taking these factors into consideration, the research team concludes that fishes’ body size will be reduced by between 14% and 24%, with the largest reduction in the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. When compared with the actual study of fish size, the model seems to make a lower judgment of what’s actually happening in the seas. The researchers made actual studies on some kinds of fishes living in the Atlantic Ocean. They found that the recorded data on these fishes showed greater reduction in body size than the models had predicted. Scientists believe smaller-sized fishes could seriously affect the ability of fishes to reproduce (繁殖). Dr Alan Baudron, from the University of Aberdeen, the UK, thinks that smaller fishes produce fewer and smaller eggs and it could affect the reproductive potential of fishes. 68. From Paragraph 2 we can know that ________. A. scientists have made two researches on the influence of global warming by now. B. researchers suggest that the ocean temperature is increasing at a high rate. C. researches suggest that global warming would change fishes’ inner structure D. scientists have known three aspects of the influence that global warming has on fishes69. Which is the most important factor that makes fishes smaller? A. Higher body temperatures of fishes. B. Lower oxygen level in water. C. Slower heart beats of fishes. D. Higher pressure in water. 70. According to the group, in 30 years, most fish populations will move about ________. A. 30 kilometers B. 60 kilometers C. 100 kilometers D. 200 kilometers71. Which of the following in the best title for the passage? A. Climate change may make fishes smaller. B. Global warming has a bad effect on fishes. C. Global warming affects the distribution of fishes. D. Climate change may affect the ability of fishes to reproduce.
EAn American program called the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) helps millions of people infected with HIV, the virus responsible for AIDS. PEPFAR is considered one of the most successful programs created during the presidency of George W. Bush. Its goal is to make HIV/AIDS change from a death sentence to a disease that, while serious, could be treated. And for millions of people around the world, that is just what has happened. But researchers say it was not until PEPFAR started using generic drugs (非专利药) that major progress was made in fighting HIV/AIDS. Generic drugs are copies of medicines developed by large drug companies. But they often cost a lot less. Kartik Venkatesh was the lead author of a report on the study. He says the high cost of patented drugs had an immediate influence on the program after it began. American officials considered whether to provide patented drugs for HIV-infected patients, both in the United States and overseas. Dr. Venkatesh says some people believe that the drug industry wanted the government-financed program to use patented drugs. But generic drugs were shown to be effective in treating HIV as far back as 2003. Using generic drugs helped cut the cost of treating a person from about 1,100 dollars a year to about 300 dollars a year. PEPFAR has also been able to save millions of dollars by reducing transportation costs – for example, using ships instead of airplanes to move the drugs. Dr. Venkatesh says, “The PEPFAR model could be used in the fight against other diseases as developing countries begin seeing health problems that until recently had only been seen in richer countries. Maybe the real and perhaps potentially larger burden in the future is going to the chronic diseases (慢性病) like heart disease and cancer. And those are also diseases that require long-term treatment. A lot can be learned form the experience in accessing generic drugs for the treatment for HIV.”72. Why was PEPFAR established? A. To make it possible to cure AIDS. B. To study how people are infected with HIV. C. To warn people that AIDS is serious. D. To help people develop patented drugs. 73. According to Dr. Venkatesh, generic drugs ________. A. must be used with the permission of drug companies B. contribute more to curing AIDS than patented drugs C. are provided for people with AIDS for free D. are copies of cheap medicines74. Which of the following is TRUE about generic drugs? A. Generic drugs are much easier to transport. B. Generic drugs were created as far back as 2003. C. Generic drugs don’t belong to the government-financed program. D. Generic drugs can reduce the economic pressure of AIDS patients. 75. From the passage we can know that________. A. HIV is considered as a burden larger than any other disease B. new health problems will first be seen in developed countries C. the PEPFAR model offers lessons for people to treat other diseases D. people ought to understand more about fighting long-term diseases

The students held different opinions about it. About 90 percent of the students think it is not right to raise the prices of some scenery spots. They think those places are public resources, which should be shared by more people. If the prices go up too much, people will have to pay more money. Maybe some people can’t afford it. However, 10 percent of the students think that it is acceptable to raise the prices a little. For one thing, construction and maintenance of scenery sports need more money. For another, raising prices can be an effective way of avoiding too many tourists rushing there in peak time. That may cause some damage to scenery spots. From my point of view, there is a balanced way that can be considered – raise prices during holidays and lower prices in other time.
