三、阅读
The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means. Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true.
Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.
The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.
21. _______, our world is becoming much smaller.
A. Because of the rise in pollution
B. Thanks to science development
C. Because the earth is being polluted day and night
D. Because the earth is blown away by the wind every year
22. Hundreds of years ago, life was __________ it is today.
A. much easier than B. as easy as
C. much harder than D. as hard as
23. Pollution comes in many ways. We can even hear it. Here “it” means _______.
A. rubbish(垃圾) B. noise pollution
C. air pollution D. water pollution
24. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution because _______.
A. it makes much noise
B. it makes us angry more easily
C. it makes our rivers and lakes dirty
D. it’s bad for all living things in the world
25. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution.
B. The pollution of the earth grows as fast as the world population does.
C. The problem of pollution is not so serious because there are not so many people living on the earth.
D. If people could go to work by bus or bike instead of car or motorbike, it would be helpful in fighting against the problem of SO2.
【答案解析】 本文谈到全球环境污染这个问题，同时号召人们来为我们的家园——地球出一份力，减少污染。
21. B。由文章的首句我们得知：世界变小是由于modern traffic and modern communication means(现在的交通运输工具和沟通工具的使用)，而这一切都要靠科学技术的发展，据此我们可以推出答案是B。
22. C。原文的第2句告诉我们Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago(今天的生活比以前容易得多)，反过来说，以前的生活一定比今天的艰难，所以答案是C。
23. B。在众多选项中，只有选项B(noise pollution噪音污染)是听得见的。
24. D。我们根据第4段的第1, 2句Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world…，可以得知空气污染之所以最为严重，正如选项D(它是危害全世界生物的)所说的那样。
25. C。选项C可以在原文第2段的第2句找到，但它缺少了前提条件many years ago(以前不严重而现在严重)，所以选项C是错误的。
B
Can people change their skin colour without suffering like pop king Michael Jackson? Perhaps yes. Scientists have found the gene that determines skin colour.
The gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 per cent of Europeans. The other is found in 93 to 100 per cent of Africans, researchers at Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science.
Scientists have changed the colour of a dark-striped zebrafish to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment(色素) gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebrafish skin colour is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanosomes(黑色素). The number, size and darkness of melanosomes per pigment cell determines skin colour.
It appears that, like the golden zebrafish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation(变异) in the gene for melanosome production. This results in less pigmented skin.
However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebrafish genes.
Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun(太阳光紫外线), which can cause skin cancer.
But when modern humans leave Africa to live in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin D. So the related gene changes, according to Cheng.
Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin colour, said Cheng.
The new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer. It also could lead to research into ways to change skin colour without damaging it like chemical treatment did on Michael Jackson.
26. The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A. people can not change their skin colour without any pain
B. the new discovery could lead to search into ways to change skin colour safely
C. pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin colour as he liked
D. scientists have found out that people’s skin colour is determined by the gene
27. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. nowadays people who want to change their skin colour have to suffer a lot from the damage caused by the chemical treatment
B. Europeans and Africans have the same gene
C. the new discovery could help to find medical treatments for skin cancer
D. there are two kinds of genes
28. Scientists have done an experiment on a dark-striped zebra fish in order to ________.
A. find the different genes of humans’
B. prove the humans’ skin colour is determined by the pigment gene
C. find out the reason why the Africans’ skin colour is dark
D. find out the ways of changing peopl’s skin colour
29. The reason why Europeans are light-skinned is probably that ________.
A. they are born light-skinned people
B. light-skinned Europeans have mutation in the gen for melanosome production
C. they have fewer activities outside
D. they pay much attention to protecting their skin
30. The writer’s attitude towards the discovery is ________.
A. neutral B. negative C. positive D. indifferent
【答案解析】 本文主要讲述基因决定人的肤色。
26. D 主旨大意题 根据全文讲述的主要内容得知：科学家们发现人的肤色是由基因决定的。
27. A 推理判断题 从文章最后一句话得知，人们改变肤色会象迈克尔·杰克逊那样受到化学药品对皮肤的伤害。
28. B 细节理解题 根据第三段得知，因为斑马鱼和人类一样肤色中含有黑色素，所以科学家们以此来证明之。
29. B 推理判断题 根据第四段得知，因为欧洲人体内黑色素的基因发生了变异，所以他们的皮肤为浅肤色。
30. C 推理判断题 根据作者对基因决定人的肤色的论述以及文章首尾段可知，作者对此的态度是肯定的。 |
