27、 and the thanksgiving of the people to the goddesses who provided them with life sustaining grains.Late July and early August mark the middle of summer and the beginning of the harvest season. Famine (饥荒) was common during July as the previous years harvest supplies were almost totally used up. Harv
28、esting grains in August ensured the continuance of life and was recognized by many cultures as a time of thanksgiving.In ancient Rome the grain goddess Ceres was honored on the first harvest called Ceresalia in her honor. Our modern word cereal comes from her name. Other goddesses celebrated at the
29、first harvest were Demeter, Persephone, Venus and the Corn Mother. Many native American tribes honor the Corn Grandmother during the Festival of Green Corn. It was held during the full moon when the corn was ready to be harvested. The celebration lasted for several days and was a time to be thankful
30、 and a time of forgiveness.Lughnasadh was a happy time regarded as the first of three harvest festivals. Lughnasadh honors the god Lugh, and his fostermother Taillte who died while clearing the fields of Ireland for agriculture. In Old Irish Lunasa means “August”. The Celts celebrate this day from s
31、unset of August 1 to sunset on August 2 as the wake of Lugh, the SunKing whose light began to decline after the summer solstice(夏至). At_this_time_oaths(誓言)_were_taken_and_contracts_were_signed.This day was known to the Saxons as Lammas, or loafmass, a time when grains were harvested and baked into b
32、read. The grain was harvested, giving its life so that people might live. The grain was made into bread, and the bread was symbolic of the gods. Christians later adopted this holiday as a day when bread, made from the first fruits of the harvest, was brought to the church to be blessed.August is a t
33、ime to reflect on the past year, on things that have come to fruition and things that failed. A time to let go of regrets and say farewell to things that have passed and preserve all the fruits that have been gathered to hold onto for future memories.5The passage should be entitled _.A. August Harve
34、st FestivalsB. August TraditionC. Gathering GrainD. Special August Time6What was the significance of harvesting grains in August?A. It welcomed the death of the crops.B. It provided the chance of thanksgiving.C. It guaranteed the continuance of life.D. It marked the middle of summer.7Which of the fo
35、llowing is NOT a close relationship according to the passage?A. Ancient Romansthe grain goddess Ceres.B. Native Americansthe Corn Grandmother.C. Christiansthe god Lugh and his fostermother Taillte.D. The CeltsLugh, the SunKing.8From the last sentence of the 4th paragraph “At this time oaths were tak
36、en and contracts were signed”， we can infer that the Celts are _.A. happy at that time B. serious about the dayC. are full of hope D. thankful at that time答案七月底八月初是收获季节的开始，此时收获的粮食保证了生命的延续，人们把这个时候看做是向诸神表示感激的时机，感谢神灵给他们维系生命的粮食。本文介绍古罗马人、土著美洲人、爱尔兰人、凯尔特人、撒克逊人和基督徒为感谢诸神、欢庆丰收而举行的各种丰收节日。5A。考查主题大意。全文介绍了不同地方、不同
37、文化的人们在八月收获季节开展的各种庆祝丰收的节日，从全文内容可知本文的标题应该选A，八月丰收节日。6C。考查细节理解。第二段说，每年七月，饥荒很普遍，因为此时头年收获的粮食已几乎吃完了，而七月底八月初的粮食丰收确保了生命的延续，因此在很多文化里被视为感恩的时候。7C。考查推理判断。第五段说基督徒采用了凯尔特人的节日，而凯尔特人的节日与Taillte没有关系，Taillte是爱尔兰人在丰收节祭祀的神，因此C项搭配不对，而其他选项都符合文章的叙述：古罗马祭祀司粮女神Ceres，土著美洲人缅怀Corn Grandmother，凯尔特人感激Lugh, the SunKing。8B。考查推理判断。第四段
38、的语境说到誓言、签署合同、契约，由此判断，他们是非常虔诚地对待这个节日的。*结束 DNA(Deoxyribonucleic acid)is one of the most important discoveries in science. DNA is the plan for the human being, as a blueprint is the plan for a building. DNA makes a person look the way he does. A persons DNA comes from a mixing of his parents DNA. Thats
39、 why a child looks like his parents. But, besides controlling things such as height and hair color, DNA can also give people diseases. Scientists are now studying DNA to cure diseases.In the seventies, scientists developed a process called recombinant (重新组合) or RDNA. Although it sounds difficult to
40、understand, RDNA simply means taking DNA from one animal or plant and putting it into another. By doing so, scientists can create new beings. In so doing, scientists can better understand DNA, especially what parts of DNA do what. After they understand DNA, scientists can begin to cure diseases. Oft
41、en, the new being created will itself be the cure.Besides curing diseases, RDNA research can also do other things. For example, scientists in Japan have already created “supertrees”. Trees help humans, because they take CO2, which poisons humans, from the air and turn it into oxygen, which lets huma
42、ns breathe. “Supertrees” do this too, but do it much faster. As things such as cars and factories have already put much CO2 in the area, “supertrees” are badly needed.Unfortunately, there is a serious danger in RDNA research. Scientists want to create animals to cure old diseases, but these new anim
43、als may also create new diseases. It will be a serious problem if the animals escape from the science laboratory and into nature. As these animals are not natural, they may let_loose many new powerful diseases.As a result, RDNA research will create many solutions(解决方案), but it will also create many
44、problems.5From the passage, we can know that a boy looks like his parents because _.A. he is son of his parentsB. his parents DNA decides his appearanceC. he has received DNA from his father or his motherD. scientists have put some of his parents DNA into him6What does the underlined expression “let
45、 loose” probably mean?A. let.go free B. get rid ofC. absorb D. survive7What is the best title for the passage?A. The DAN Research in Japan.B. A New Way of DNA Research in Japan.C. The Causes and Effects of DNA Research.D. The Advantages and Disadvantages of RDNA.8The following statements are true ab
46、out RDNA research EXCEPT _.A. the research has been stopped because the created animals carry virusesB. “supertrees” might be widely planted around the worldC. scientists have not completely understood DNAD. RDNA research will benefit human beings a lot答案说起DNA，大家都知道它指的是遗传基因，可你知道什么是RDNA吗？本文将带你去探索这个神秘
47、的微观世界。5B。细节理解题。根据第一段第四句和第五句可知孩子之所以看起来像父母是由于父母的DNA决定了他的相貌。父母不是把他们的DNA以外在形式传递给孩子，因而D项错误。6A。词义猜测题。本段前面提到这种被科学家们创造出来的动物可能会产生新的疾病，所以如果它们从实验室中逃脱，可能会“传播”很多新的可怕的疾病。后三项分别表示“除掉”“吸收”“幸存”，都不符合语境。7D。主旨大意题。文章从第二段开始叙述的都是RDNA的优点和缺点，因此本部分内容是文章的中心。8A。细节理解题。此项在文章中没有信息支持。由于“supertrees”能比普通的树更快地吸收二氧化碳，所以能在全世界种植；根据第一段最后一句可知科学家还没有完全理解DNA；根据第二段后半部分和第三段前半部分可知D项本身没有错误。
