19、sly sipping the bitter liquid five times stronger than my normal Americano and trying hard not to reveal my uncultured tastes, while lab chatter （闲聊）filled the air.Coffee breaks are a routine part of work life here. The chatter sometimes turns to serious scientific topics. But mostly, the meetups of

I went into the
21、 lab each morning with set goals for my day. At lunch, Id keep my eyes glued to my computer while I shoveled（大量送入）forkfuls of salad into my mouth, trying to power through my to-do list.Our lab held weekly meetings where wed take turns presenting our latest, work and getting feedback from colleagues.
22、 But we didnt take daily coffee breaks. My labmates and I were too busy collecting data and publishing papers.Looking back now, I realize how much we were missing. Researchers need community because good ideas dont just come from reading literature and thinking deep thoughts; its helpful to bounce i

But if we could change our genome，would we still be human？Recently，a group of scientists from the US and South Korea worked together to successf
28、ully“edit”a human embryo（胚胎）and remove a genetic mutation（变异）that would have led to heart disease. This was achieved with the help of CRISPR-a gene editing tool that allows scientists to edit the genome by cutting，changing or adding to parts of it.Scientists involved in DNA editing are certain about
29、 the good of their work，and hope that in the future，diseases could simply be“edited out”.However，others arent so sure. People are worried that the science could be used not only to remove life-threatening illness，but also to make a“perfect”baby whose DNA has been chosen to improve its intelligence o
30、r other qualities. They say that this is a shallow way of thinking about raising children.“It makes you think about who we are as people，and it makes you ask if humans should use the kind of powerthat is changing human evolution（进化），”Jennifer Doudna of the University of California said.Still，others
31、worry that DNA editing could be turned into an expensive service that would only be available to the people who could afford it.

35、, if not sooner, the worlds oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms(海洋微生物) called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colourful patt
36、erns at the ocean surface. Ocean colour varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the oceans appearance.Phytoplankton live at the oce
37、an surface, where they pull carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the oceans warming trend. Warming changes key cha
38、racteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MITs Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century
39、. In a world that warms up by 3, it found that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur. The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplan
40、kton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing. ” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz s
41、aid, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to survive.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever colour changes the ocean experiences in the coming decades will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “Itll be a while before
42、we can statistically show that the changes are happening because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the colour of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”32What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?AThe various patterns at
43、the ocean surface.BThe cause of the changes in ocean colour.CThe way light reflects off marine organisms.DThe efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.33What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?ASensitive.BBeneficial.CSignificant.DUnnoticeable.34What can we learn fr
44、om the passage?APhytoplankton play a declining role in the marine ecosystem.BDutkiewiczs model aims to project phytoplankton changes.CPhytoplankton have been used to control global climate.DOceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.35What is the main purpose of the passage?ATo assess the con
45、sequences of ocean colour changes.BTo analyse the composition of the ocean food chain.CTo explain the effects of climate change on oceans.DTo introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.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。Its a nightmare to have to wait for exam results.
