21、odeFDA OKs Genetically Modified Salmon for Human ConsumptionThe Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Thursday approved genetically modified salmon (转基因的三文鱼), the first such altered animal allowed for human consumption in the United States.The government had tried to 31 approving the fast-growing sa
22、lmon for more than five years due to consumer concerns about eating genetically modified foods. But the agency said Thursday the fish is safe to eat.In announcing the approval, the FDA said that there are “no biologically 32 differences in the nutrition of AquAdvantage Salmon compared to that of oth
23、er farm-raised Atlantic salmon.”AquAdvantage Salmon was created by the Massachusetts-based company AquaBounty. Ron Stotish, the companys CEO, said in a statement that the fish is a “game changer that brings healthy and nutritious food to consumers in an environmentally 33 manner without damaging the
24、 ocean and other marine habitats.”The fish grows twice as fast as normal salmon, so it reaches 34 size more quickly. It has an added growth hormone (激素) from the Pacific Chinook salmon that allows the fish to produce growth hormone all year long. The engineers were able to 35 the hormone active by u
25、sing another gene from an ocean pout (a kind of fish) that acts like an “on” 36 for the hormone. Typical Atlantic salmon produce the growth hormone for only part of the year.There is no evidence that the foods would be unsafe, but for some people, its an ethical (伦理的) 37 . Some people have promised
26、not to sell the salmon, and its still unclear whether the public will 38 an appetite for the fish if it is approved. Genetic engineering is already widely used for crops, but the government until now has not considered allowing the consumption of modified animals. Although the potential benefits and
27、 profits are huge, many people have doubts about controlling the genetic 39 of other living creatures.Critics worry that it could cause human allergies (过敏) and the eventual extinction of the 40 salmon population if it escapes and breeds in the wild.

W
29、orking nights and weekends meant she rarely put her 3-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter to bed, or spent Saturdays at the park. So, three years ago, Demos began testing the waters to see if operating her own business making marketing videos would create an option for more 41 time.Last month, Demo
30、s took a leap. Instead of renegotiating her 42 , she left her job to take her venture to the next level building her own video production/media training company. Its a career shift on a path to work-life balance that more 43 are making. New research shows the top reason why people leave their jobs i
31、s to 44 opportunities with a better work-life balance. Those who make the 45 say there almost always is a main cause, either work- or home-related. It could be a life-changing event like the birth of a child, or it could be a new demanding boss, change in job responsibilities, or too many missed mil
32、estone events. It might even be a more 46 job offer.For Denie Harris, the main cause was the attraction of a better 47 situation for a mom with young daughters. Harris had been marketing director for two companies in South Florida when an opportunity came her way to hold a similar position at her da
33、ughters school. It was a decision that required 48 all factors. The upside included seeing her children during the workday and sharing the same 49 with them. The downside was leaving the corporate world and earning less. “Everything in life is a give-and-take,” Harris says. “For a mom, working at yo
34、ur childrens school is the best possible place to be.”In the 50 to achieve work-life balance, working mothers having been “quitting” jobs for more than a decade, choosing to stay at home with their children when 51 possible. But today, both men and women are making job changes, choosing work options
35、 that better fit their 52 lifestyle. The shift often means serious consideration of 53 , including salary, advancement and fulfillment.Doug Bartel, who left his job as a TV news producer more than a decade ago, says that what working fathers often look for is predictability and control over their sc

40、ee passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read. (A)Like many other people, I love my smart phone, which keeps
41、 me connected with the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop，because it holds all of my writing and thoughts. In spite of this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices and truly communicate with others.On occasion, I teach
42、 a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the materials and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule no laptop, iP
43、ads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. Theres a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-t
44、echnology. Theres no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it, so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. I
45、nterruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course materials and
46、the class discussion.Ive been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course materials beyond t
47、he classroom.Im not saying that I wont ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, Im sticking to my plan.

Books have bec
58、ome well-respected tools for creating a better Hollywood. However, films should be just as respected for their ability to create better writers. The main skill films help writers develop is attention to progress. Most directors andscreenwriters know that the majority of people are not willing to sit
59、 through a five-hour film. Thus, every scene must have a purpose. This is a vital objective to keep in mind when writing a novel or short story. With most writing courses placing emphasis on literary techniques, it is easy to become more invested in diction than with actually moving the plot forward
60、. Films remind the writer that while a novel ought to have some degree of literary complexity, the goal at the end of each chapter, page, or sentence is simple: keep the story moving. Films not only help writers develop a plot, but also help writers develop specific moments within their stories. Alt
61、hough writing is a means of expression, not all things are easy to express in writing, especially facial expressions and emotions. Films allow writers to study the bodily and emotional actions that make characters read more realistically and make stories more tempting. Lastly, sometimes it takes a f
62、ilm to bring about a story idea in the first place. Stop using a horribly specific or extremely uninteresting prompt. A pleasing theme or aesthetic one can be enough to inspire a character or setting. As writers, whether fiction or independent, our works often arise from the things we see around us
63、or the things we wish we could see. Nonetheless, our works also arise from the visuals that have been created for us. As literature continues to enter the film industry, perhaps we should make use of film techniques in our literature.63. Reminded by films, a writer can move the plot forward by _. A.
64、 keeping in mind that every word should mean something. B. providing a description of as many details as possible. C. paying attention to further enhancing literary complexity. D. choosing the perfect word to go with his/her thought.64.According to the passage, films help writers develop in many asp
65、ects except_. A. getting an improved expressiveness. B. focusing on keeping the story moving. C. complicating their thinking and life. D. bringing in inspiration for new works.65. The word prompt”( paragraph 3 )probably means_. A. a reason to write. B. a topic to start from. C. an excuse to put off
66、working. D. an element to attract relationship.66. Which of the following statements best represents the authors thoughts in this passage? A. book writers are the ones promoting the growth of the film industry. B. directors and screenwriters are more respected than fiction writers. C. writers should
67、 spend more time on wording rather than on other things. D. filmmaking technique could help book writers to improve themselvesSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more
68、sentences than you need. A. Clear solutions already exist for reducing greenhouses gas emissions.B. Despite this, how our dietary choices affect climate change is often underestimated.C. Food, especially livestock, also takes up a lot of room.D. In developed countries, vegetarianism would bring all
69、sorts of environmental and health benefits.E. No matter how much their carnivorous(食肉的) friends might deny it, vegetarians have a point: cutting out meat delivers multiple benefits.F. Though a relatively small increase in agricultural land, this would more than make up for the loss of meat.What woul
70、d happen if the world suddenly went vegetarian? People become vegetarians for a variety of reasons. Some do it to make animal suffering, others because they want to pursue a healthier lifestyle. Still others are fans of sustainability or wish to reduce greenhouse gas emissions._ 67_ And the more who
71、 make the switch, the more those perks would manifest on a global scale. Jarvis and other experts at Colombias International Centre for Tropical Agriculture carried out researches to see what might happen if meat dropped off the planet s menu overnight.First, they examined climate change. Food produ
72、ction accounts for one-quarter to one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions from human activities worldwide, and the worst of responsibility for those numbers falls to the livestock industry._ 68_ In the US, for example, an average family of four emits more greenhouse gases because of the meat they
73、eat than from driving two cars - but it is cars, not steaks, that regularly come up in discussions about global warming. _69_ Of the worlds approximately 12 billion acres of agricultural land, 68% is used forlivestock. Should we all go vegetarian, ideally we would give at least 80% of that pasturela
74、nd(牧 场) to the restoration of grasslands and forests, which would capture carbon and further alleviate climate change.The remaining 10 to 20% of former pastureland could be used for growing more crops to fill gaps in the food supply. _ 70_ Thats because one third of the land currently used for crops
75、 is dedicated to producing food for livestock - not for humans.Summary Writing:Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.There are various means consumers can do if they find th
76、at an item they bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturers claims. A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In s
77、uch a case, it is usually settled in the consumers favor, assuming he or she has a just claim.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective whe
78、n it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left
79、speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo does not work”. The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible. If a po
80、lite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go to a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers rights.V.
