Shelby, the star o
36、f “A Dogs Way Home,” has a hard-luck tale that could top them all. Before her big break, she was living in a landfill, rooting through garbage for her next meal. 我们都听过演员在事业上取得突破之前挣扎故事:过着艰苦的生活,兼职工作,在得到那个主要角色之前成为一个电视迷。一条狗的回家之路中的明星谢尔比有一个倒霉的故事,可能会超过所有人。在她的重大突破之前,她住在垃圾堆里,翻着垃圾寻找下一顿饭。由此可知,作者在一开始就提到了一个演员在事业
37、取得突破之前的挣扎,并介绍了一只狗的类似但更引人注目的经历。故选B。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中One day, Miller spotted Baby Girls adoption photo. “Honestly, it was a really good picture, and she was flat-out smiling,” Miller said.

40、可能是指狗狗生活的巨大变化并没有改变她的内在品质。故选D。【7题详解】主旨大意题。文章介绍了一只垃圾小狗到成为一名电影明星的引人注目的经历。所以B项From a Landfill Puppy to a Movie Star.(从垃圾小狗到电影明星)为最佳标题。故选B。COne of the unforgettable experiences in California is to go whale watching in Monterey Bay. Nancy Black, a licensed marine biologist, is one of the scientists who le
41、ad these commercial outings, besides doing her own whale research. As Lawrence Biegel, her lawyer, puts it, one day Ms Black was in her research boat with assistants when killer whales attacked grey whales and killed a calf. Its blubber (鲸脂) floated to the surface, and the killer whales were about t
42、o feed on it. Seizing this opportunity to film their behavior, Ms Black threaded ropes through some pieces of blubber, then lowered a camera underwater.For this, Ms Black might now face up to 20 years in prison and half a million dollars in fines, after a federal grand jury indicted her this month.
43、Little about the accusations makes common sense. The federal law in question is the 1972 Marine Mammal Protection Act, which was intended to save whales from being killed and harassed. The law also banned feeding these animals, on the theory that doing so might damage their ability to seek food natu
44、rally in future. Feeding is what Ms Black is now accused of. She says she was using whatshe had learned from the federal agencies that are now investigating her to observe a natural feeding that was already in progress.Just as ridiculous, says Mr Biegel, is the accusation, increasingly common in fed
45、eral cases, that Ms Black lied to the authorities, which carries its own prison terms. Ms Black always edits the commercial videos of her whale outings to make them more interesting. When investigators demanded footage (连续镜头), she gave them one of these edited videos. Prosecutors now claim that she
46、had changed evidence intentionally.To Harvey Silverglate, the author of Three Felonies a Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent, this is common in Americas federal justice system today. A couple of trends have combined to threaten justice and freedom. First, federal regulations are often so poorly wr
47、itten and so vague that they are not understandable in effect. This gives too much discretion (自由裁量权) to bureaucrats and prosecutors (检察官), with their own career ambitions, who apply them randomly. Second, federal law has been moving away from mens rea (guilty mind), a common-law tradition that sugg
48、ests that a person who had no idea he was breaking a law should not be accused of doing so. With swollen federal law system and without mens rea you can accuse most people of something or other, says Mr Silverglate. The question should be, he says, whether charges are reasonable when they run agains

53、n dollars in fines,”(为此,布莱克女士如今可能面临最高二十年的有期徒刑及五十万美元的罚款)及“ Little about the accusations makes common sense.”(这些指控没什么道理。)可推知,划线词此处指的是布莱克女士遭到一个联邦大陪审团的“指控”,选项A符合题意。故选A。2. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Feeding is what Ms Blackis now accused of”(布莱克女士现在被指控的罪名是喂食)排除A选项;根据第三段中“When investigators demanded footage(连续镜头),she g
54、ave them one of these edited videosProsecutors now claim that she had changed evidence intentionally”(当调查人员要求提供录像时,她给了他们其中一个经过编辑的视频, 检察官现在声称她故意改变了证据),排除B选项;根据第二段中“ The federal law in question is the 1972 Marine Mammal Protection Act, which was intended to save whales from being killed and harassed.
55、The law also banned feeding these animals, on the theory that doing so might damage their ability to seek food naturally in future. ”(联邦法律是1972年的海洋哺乳动物保护法,旨在保护鲸鱼不被捕杀和骚扰。法律还禁止喂养这些动物,理由是这样做可能会损害它们未来自然寻找食物的能力。)排除D选项,选项C在文中未被提及,故选C。3.推理判断题。根据第二段中“She says she was using what she had learned from thefeder
56、al agencies that are now investigatingher to observe a natural eeding that was already in progress” (她说她当时观察鲸鱼捕食所遵循的规则正是从正在调查她的各联邦机构处获得的。)可以推断,一样的规则不一样的看法,选项D与文意相符,故选D。4. 推理判断题,根据第四段“To Harvey Silverglate, the author of Three Felonies a Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent, this is common in Americ
57、as federal justice system today. ”(作为一 天三宗罪联邦政府如何攻击无辜之人的作者,Harvey Silverglate认为,这在今天的美国联邦司法系统中很常见。)及“ First, federal regulations are often so poorly written and so vague that they are not understandable in effect. This gives too much discretion (自由裁量权) to bureaucrats and prosecutors (检察官), with thei
58、r own career ambitions, who apply them randomly.”(首先,许多联邦法令行文拙劣、含糊其辞,以至于实际上难以理解这就给了官僚和检查官们过度的决定权,这些各自怀有职业抱负的人会滥用这种权力)可推知,他对对美国联邦司法系统的态度是不赞成的。选项C符合题意。故选C。DThe scientists who re-engineered the plastic-eating enzyme(酶) PETase have now created a new enzyme called “cocktail” , which can digest plastic up
59、 to six times faster.PETase breaks down PET back into its building blocks, creating an opportunity to recycle plastic and reduce plastic pollution. PET is the most common thermoplastic(热塑性塑料) used to make single-use drinks bottles, which takes hundreds of years to break down in the environment, but
60、PETase can shorten this time to days. The initial discovery set up the prospect of a revolution in plastic recycling, creating a potential low-energy solution to tackle plastic waste.Now, the same trans-Atlantic team have combined PETase and its “partner”, a second enzyme called MHETase, to generate
61、 much bigger improvements: simply mixing PETase with MHETase doubled the speed of PET breakdown, and engineering a connection between the two enzymes to create a “super-enzyme”, increased this activity by a further three times.The team was co-led by the scientists who engineered PETase, Professor Jo
62、hn McGeehan and Dr Gregg Beckham. Professor McGeehan said: “Gregg and I were chatting about how PETase attacks the surface of the plastics and MHETase chops things up further, so it seemed natural to see if we could use them together. Our first experiments showed that they did work better together,
63、so we decided to physically link them. It took a great deal of work, but it was worth the effort we were delighted to see that our new enzyme is up to three times faster than the separate enzymes.”The original PETase enzyme discovery indicated the first hope that a solution to the global plastic pol
64、lution problem might be within grasp, though PETase alone is not yet fast enough to handle the tons of PET bottles. Combining it with a second enzyme, and finding together they work even faster, means another leap forward has been taken towards finding a solution to plastic waste. PETase and the new
65、 combined MHETase-PETase both work by digesting PET plastic. This allows for plastics to be made and reused endlessly, reducing our reliance on fossil(化石) resources.12. What can we learn about “cocktail” from the text?A. It doubles the breakdown of plastics.B. It takes hundreds of years to break dow
66、n.C. It contributes to breaking down plastic quickly.D. It deals with the plastic waste three times faster.13. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. A new study of PET.B.

D【解析】【分析】这是一篇科普说明文。文章介绍了一种用于加速塑料制品降解的新的酶cocktail的原理、研发过程和产生的效应。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“which can digest plastic up
69、to six times faster. (它能以快六倍的速度消化塑料。)”可知, cocktail这种新的酶可以使塑料的降解快六倍。因此,从文中我们能了解到 “cocktail” C 项 “It contributes to breaking down plastic quickly(它有助于快速分解塑料) ”符合题意。故选C项。【13题详解】主旨大意题。通读文章第二段尤其是“PET is the most common thermoplastic(热塑性塑料) used to make single-use drinks bottles, which takes hundreds of y
70、ears to break down in the environment, but PETase can shorten this time to days(PET是最常见的热塑性塑料,用于制造一次性饮料瓶,在环境中分解需要几百年的时间,但PETase可以将这个时间缩短到几天)”可知,主要介绍了科学家研究的第一种酶PETase的作用:即快速降解PET。因此,第二段主要讲解的是 D项“The functions of PETase(PETase的作用)”符合题意。故选D项。14题详解】词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“Our first experiments showed that they di
71、d work better together, so we decided to physically link them(我们的第一个实验表明,他们确实在一起更有作用,所以我们决定从根本上连接他们)”可知,科学家们想结合PETase和 MHETase,使其产生更好的效果,划线词it所在句子的意思是“这需要大量的工作,但值得付出努力”,it 指的是PETase和MHETas的结合工作。因此,本文第四段划线词 it 指的是 B 项“Combining PETase and MHETase.(结合PETase和MHETase)”符合题意。故选B项。【15题详解】推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“
72、The scientists who re-engineered the plastic-eating enzyme(酶) PETase have now created a new enzyme called “cocktail” , which can digest plastic up to six times faster(科学家们重新设计了“吃”塑料的酶PETase,现在他们创造了一种新的酶,叫做“cocktail”,它能以快六倍的速度消化塑料)”可知,本文是一篇科普说明文,介绍了科学家们通过研究,把两种用于降解塑料的酶结合,产生一种新的酶cocktail,它会更快地分解塑料废物,大
73、大降低其对环境的污染。因此,我们从文中推断出D项“Plastic-eating enzyme “cocktail” promises new hope for plastic waste.(“吃”塑料的酶“cocktail”为塑料垃圾带来了新的希望)”,故选D项。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Give yourself a test.

Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. _17_
76、One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized
77、it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted theyd felt cold water at first._18_ I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a ruby-crowned kinglet and checked it off.
