27、g WomanC. Ruiz-a Woman of Achievements D. Ruiz-a Woman with Two DegreesCWith oil prices rising sharply this year, it seems remarkable to argue that water might one day be more expensive than oil. Jean-Louis Chaussade, the chief executive of the French utility company Suez, argues that water scarcity
28、(不足)is now one of the most pressing challenges facing many industries. He told the Financial Times last year that he foresaw one day water would be more precious than oil.It isnt only a growing world population that places demands on water-industries such as energy and agriculture are also consuming
29、 more and more. The 2030 Water Resources Group, believes that by 2030 global demand will be 40 percent higher than it is today.The threat is now so acute that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in the US warned that disputes over water may lead to armed conflicts, particularly in ar
30、eas such as Africa and the Middle Fast. A three-year drought in South Africa caused a water crisis earlier this year, with officials warning they may have to shut off most of Cape Towns taps.The most valuable water in the world is what we actually consume. With petrol at roughly1.29 a liter in the U
31、K today, a bottle of water from some of big-name branded companies can already be about three times more. And it is not going to get any cheaper. The days of relying on water flowing through our taps are coming to an end. Around the world, 2. 1 billion people do not have immediate access to clean dr
32、inking water. And this isnt only a developing-world problem.

To tell us the situation of water stress.DCreating a new gene in a single day could soon be possible. The technology could one day let researchers speedily rewrite genes, enabling them to make new medicin
36、es and fuels on the fly.Researchers have been able to make DNA since the 1970s. The traditional approach takes DNA nucleotides(核苷酸)and adds them, one by one, to a growing chain called an oligo (寡核苷酸). But the process is typically slow and error-prone, limiting oligos to about 200 letters-a tiny part
37、 of the thousands of letters that make up most genes.Over the decades, most researchers have settled on one particular polymerase(聚合酶), called TdT, because unlike others, it can attach new nucleotides to an oligo strand without following a DNA template strand. Scientists have tried for years to make
38、 TdT add one nucleotide at a time and stop, before repeating the process with a different nucleotide. But TdT doesnt work well with these modified nucleotides. TdT is very picky. Says Sebastian Palluk, a Ph. D. student. One such system, for example, required about an hour to add each modified base,
39、far too slow to be practical.Ultimately. the approach should be cheap, because TdT is easy to manufacture in bacteria. Its also fast. Most new nucleotides attach to the growing oligo in 10 to 20 seconds. For now, the step still takes a minute. So synthesizing a whole gene will still likely take the
40、better part of a day.The new approach is not quite ready. So far, the group has made oligos only 10 bases long. And there are still a few writing problems, as the approach was only 98%accurate at writing DNA, below the 99%accuracy of the traditional approach. In order to write oligos up to 1000 base
41、s long, the approach will likely need to be 99.9%accurate.32. What is the drawback of the traditional way of making DNA?A. It is too expensive. B. It is too hard to be carried out.C. It increases oligos to about 200 letters. D. It is too slow and there may be mistakes.33. Why have most researchers s
42、ettled on TdT?A. Because it is cheap. B. Because it is easy to get.C. Because it is harmless to people. D. Because it is easy to control.34. What can we learn from the text?A. Researchers have been able to make DNA recently.B. The new approach is quite ready without any problem.C. There is still som
43、e work to do before the new approach is practical.D. To write oligos 1000 bases long, the approach needs to be 99% accurate.35. Where is this text most likely from?A. A magazine. B. A diary. C. A novel. D. A guidebook.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。Daily Habits of
