17、ment. D. Advertisement.BThat morning, I dropped our eldest at kindergarten and returned home to let our two younger children play while I worked on my medical report. It was wonderful, but it hit me that my career in hospital wasnt making a difference in anyones life. I needed something that would s
18、tretch my limits and push me to grow. My career enabled me to work from home. I could work from home, and become a foster（领养）mother, providing safety for a child who needed it desperately.On Monday morning, I picked up the phone and dialed the number I had googled for the nearest Department of Child
19、ren Services. The man on the other end was receptive to my questions and explained the next step of training, involving eight weeks of classes designed to prepare and educate foster parents. We continued through all the classes, the home visits , background checks, and seemingly endless steps.Five l
20、ong months after we were approved , the phone rang. In the middle of the night , I woke my husband and rushed to East Tennessee Childrens Hospital. Our placement was waiting for us in the emergency room, sick and lack of nutrition. It didnt take long for us to realize the full depth of her suffering
21、. Six months later, her half-brother came to us by our request. We now had five children under our care.On August 12, 2016, our family of seven walked into a small courtroom. The childrens lawyer and social worker were there. With just a few words, our adoption was finalized. These two amazing child

25、re.B. To receive another adopted child.C. To begin the kids adoption in her home .D. To make the adoption officially legal.CScientists have discovered that rats have adapted to modern human life, even adapting their diets to the cities they live in.The scientists claim that it could be possible that
26、 humans and rats have had similar changes in their genetic make-up, due to modern city life. The downside of the changes in the DNA is that they could make rats susceptible to the same health problems as humans, such as pollutants and sugary foods.The study showed that rats diets have also adapted t
27、o their environment. In New York, you can see them eat bagels and beer; in Paris, they like croissants and butter. They adapt in amazing ways. The scientists also analyzed the genomes of 29 New York rats and compared them with those of nine brown rats from Heilongjiang Province, north-east China. Th
28、e finding showed that dozens of rat genes had been through major DNA changes over the centuries, as the rats spread from Asia to Europe and America, and from the countryside and into cities.The changed genes were associated with diet, behavior, and movement, which added pressures and challenges for
29、the rat to overcome. This could reflect the fact that urban rats have to move through highly artificial environments that are very different from natural habitats. So these gene changes might have evolved to help them move more easily through underground channels and pipes.As the rats are closely as
30、sociated with city-living humans, the scientists believe that it is possible that similar changes have happened in both species. In October 2019, scientists used rats to successfully test an enzyme(酶) that could be used to help people quit smoking. Two groups of rats were trained to self-administer
31、nicotine, and over two weeks their nicotine intakes increased, suggesting addiction. Then, one group of rats was given the enzyme, which led to a decreased nicotine intake. The scientists say that the enzyme could be developed for human use in the future.28. Which of the following best explains the
32、underlined phrase “susceptible to” in paragraph 2? A. Not likely to be cured.B. Being disease-resistant.C. Very likely to be affected.D. Being thoroughly exposed.29. What does the author intend to show in the third paragraph? A. Rats in the city are particular about their food.B. Rats in different c
33、ities have different genetic make-up. C. Rats are distributed in every continent of the earth.D. Rats have been adapting to the environment since ancient times.30. What is the purpose of testing an enzyme on rats? A. To explore rats survival ability. B. To help people stop smoking. C. To learn more
34、about city rats. D. To tell apart nicotine and enzyme. 31. What is the best title of this text? A. Rats Have Adapted to Modern Human Life B. Rats in the City Have Varieties of DietsC. Rats Are More Adaptable than HumansD. Rats Have Similar Genetic Make-up to HumansDThe values of artistic works, acco
35、rding to cultural relativism(相对主义), are simply reflections of local social and economic conditions. Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean pl
36、ays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries. Unique works of this kind are different from todays popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart
37、 in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future.In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because“the general principles of taste are uniform(不变的) in human nature,”the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer
38、 was still admired after two thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology
39、is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the disc
40、overy by a great scientist.32. According to the passage, what do we know about cultural relativism?A. It introduces different cultural values.B. It explains the history of artistic works.C. It relates artistic values to local conditions.D. It excites the human mind throughout the world.33. In Paragr
41、aph 2, the artists are mentioned in order to show that _. .A. great works of art can go beyond national boundariesB. history gives art works special appeal to set them apartC. popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great artsD. great artists are skilled at combining various cultures34. Accordi
42、ng to Hume, some works of art can exist for centuries because _. .A. they are results of scientific studyB. they establish some general principles of artC. they are created by the worlds greatest artistsD. they appeal to unchanging features of human nature35. Which of the following can best serve as
43、 the title of the passage?A. Are Artistic Values Universal?B. Are Popular Arts Permanent?C. Is Human Nature Uniform?D. Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Learning matters in living a full and rich life. You can take your passing interest
