The reason the tyres dont explode is because they are made of natural rubber. The tyres of cars, motorbikes and trucks are also often made of the sam
20、e stuff.Natural rubber comes from trees, Workers cut the trunks of the trees and collect a white liquid called latex. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, huge numbers of rubber trees were planted in countries including Malaysia, Burma and Brazil. More than a century ago, scientists disc
21、overed how to make man-made rubber, but natural rubber is much stronger and can last much longer. Nearly half the rubber which is produced each year is natural rubber and there is always a need for more.Rubber trees are not easy to grow. They are affected by changes in temperature, to much or not en
22、ough rain, high winds and disease. Some trees survive while others die and its all down to their genes. Two British organizations, the Tun Abdul Razak Research Center (TARRC) and The Genome Analysis Center (TGAC), have been working together to look at rubber trees. This is the genes fit together in
23、very long chains of DNA. The genome for a plant such as a rubber tree or animal needs to grow. The genome contains all the information the plant or animal needs to grow. The genome for a plant such as a rubber tree is smaller than a human genome but it is still very long, which is why it has been so
24、 difficult to find. As Ewan Mollison of TARRC says, the work has been like putting a picture puzzle together where all the pieces show blue sea and blue sky.Now scientists can use the rubber tree genome to produce stronger trees. By understanding the genome, they can change the DNA in rubber trees i

29、因很难被识别。现在科学家们可以利用橡胶树的基因组来生产更强壮的树。通过了解基因组，他们可以用有用的方式改变橡胶树的DNA。【4题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段Next time your plane lands, listen to the sound of the tyres hitting the ground. The reason the tyres dont explode is because they are made of natural rubber. The tyres of cars, motorbikes and trucks are also often made of
30、 the same stuff.可知下次你的飞机着陆时，听听轮胎撞击地面的声音。轮胎不会爆炸的原因是因为它们是由天然橡胶制成的。汽车、摩托车和卡车的轮胎通常也是用同样的材料制造的。由此可推知，天然橡胶有灵活性。故选B。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中More than a century ago, scientists discovered how to make man-made rubber, but natural rubber is much stronger and can last much longer. Nearly half the rubber which is pro
31、duced each year is natural rubber and there is always a need for more.可知一个多世纪前，科学家发现了制造人造橡胶的方法，但是天然橡胶更结实，使用寿命也更长。每年生产的橡胶几乎有一半是天然橡胶，而且总是需要更多。由此可知，天然橡胶比人造橡胶更坚韧更持久，让天然橡胶每年都如此需求量巨大。故选D。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中The genome for a plant such as a rubber tree is smaller than a human genome but it is still very long
32、, which is why it has been so difficult to find. As Ewan Mollison of TARRC says, the work has been like putting a picture puzzle together where all the pieces show blue sea and blue sky.可知橡胶树等植物的基因组比人类的基因组要小，但仍然很长，这就是为什么很难找到它的原因。就像TARRC的Ewan Mollison说的，这项工作就像把拼图拼在一起，所有的碎片都展示了蓝色的大海和蓝色的天空。由此可推知，Ewan M
33、ollison的话表明橡胶树的基因组不容易被识别。故选C。【7题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段Now scientists can use the rubber tree genome to produce stronger trees. By understanding the genome, they can change the DNA in rubber trees in useful ways. They can also do it much faster than before. In the future, it will be possible to grow trees w
34、hich survive climate change and disease.可知现在科学家们可以利用橡胶树的基因组来生产更强壮的树。通过了解基因组，他们可以用有用的方式改变橡胶树的DNA。他们也能比以前做得更快。在未来，人们有可能种植能够抵御气候变化和疾病的树木。结合文章主要介绍了天然橡胶这种物质，因为其更坚韧更持久的特性，每年都需求量巨大，但是橡胶树不容易生长。它们会受到温度变化、雨量多或少、强风和疾病的影响。有些树能活下来，有些则会死去，这都取决于它们的基因。但是天然橡胶的基因很难被识别。现在科学家们可以利用橡胶树的基因组来生产更强壮的树。通过了解基因组，他们可以用有用的方式改变橡胶树
35、的DNA。由此可知，C选项“天然橡胶：全靠基因”最符合文章标题。故选C。CAs humanity has got richer, animals roles have changed. People need their services less than before. Fewer wolves and thieves meant less demand for dogs for protection; the internal combustion engine（内燃机）made horses unneeded; modern sanitation（卫生设备）kept rats in c
36、heck and made cats less useful. No longer necessities, domestic animals became luxuries. Pet-keeping seems to kick in when household incomes rise above roughly $5,000. It is booming.The trend is not a new one. Archaeologists（考古学家）have found 10,000-year-old graves in which dogs and people are buried
37、together. Some cultures - such as in Scandinavia, where dogs have long been both working dogs and companions - have kept pets for thousands of years. But these days the pet-keeping urge has spread even to parts of the world which have no tradition of sinking into a comfortable chair with a furry cre
38、ature.The pet business is growing even faster than pet numbers, because people are spending more and more money on them. No longer are they food - waste - recyclers, fed with the remains that fall from their masters tables. Pet - food shelves are full of delicacies crafted to satisfy a range of appe
39、tites, including ice cream for dogs and foods for pets that are old, diabetic or suffer from sensitive digestion; a number of internet services offer food, tailored to the pets individual tastes.In the business this is called “pet humanisation” - the tendency of pet owners to treat their pets as par
40、t of the family. This is evident in the names given to dogs, which have evolved from Fido, Rex and Spot to - in America - Bella, Lucy and Max. It is evident in the growing market for pet clothing, pet grooming and pet hotels.People still assume that pets must be working for humanity in some way, per
41、haps making people healthier or less anxious. But the evidence for that is weak. Rather, new research suggests that dogs have evolved those irresistible “puppy - dog eyes” precisely to affect human emotions. It has worked. The species that once enslaved others now works very hard to pay for the care
42、 of its pets. Sentimental（多愁善感的）Americans often refer to themselves not as cat-owners but as the cats “mommy” or “daddy”. South Koreans go one further, describing themselves as cat “butlers”. Watch an unlucky dog-walker trailing “his” hound（猎犬）, plastic bag in hand to pick up its mess, and you have
43、to wonder: whos in charge now?8. Which of the following trends is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. Peoples needs for animal services are decreasing.B. Both the pet number and the pet business are growing.C. Pets are increasingly making their owners less anxious.D. Pet foods are more various and
44、customized than before.9. Which of the following is referred to as evidence of “pet humanization?”A. The names given to pets in American families nowadays.B. Pets inbuilt ability to affect emotions of their owners.C. Human beings ever rising urge for pet-keeping.D. Pets roles as both working staff a
45、nd companions.10. Which of the following statements is the author most likely to agree with?A. Pets should be treated as equals of their human masters.B. Human beings are getting much benefit from their pets.C. Pet-keeping is still restricted within certain parts of the world.D. Some pet owners spen
46、d too much money on their pets.11. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. The Changing Roles of AnimalsB. The Urge for Pet-keepingC. Who Owns WhomD. Love Me, Love My Dog【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，主要抨击了如今人们养宠物的现象，一些人甚至已经沦为了宠物的奴隶。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“People sti
47、ll assume that pets must be working for humanity in some way, perhaps making people healthier or less anxious. But the evidence for that is weak. Rather, new research suggests that dogs have evolved those irresistible “puppy - dog eyes” precisely to affect human emotions.”可知，人们仍然认为宠物必须以某种方式为人类工作，使人们
48、更健康或更少焦虑，但这方面的证据并不充分，相反，新的研究表明狗狗进化出了那些不可抗拒的眼神，正是为了影响人类的情绪，因此“宠物越来越让主人不那么焦虑”这一说法是错误的，故C项正确。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In the business this is called “pet humanisation” - the tendency of pet owners to treat their pets as part of the family. This is evident in the names given to dogs, which have evolved from
49、Fido, Rex and Spot to - in America - Bella, Lucy and Max.”可知，在这个行业中，这被称为“宠物人性化”宠物主人将宠物视为家庭的一部分的趋势，这一点在给狗起的名字中很明显，狗的名字从菲多、雷克斯和斯波特演变成在美国的贝拉、露西和麦克斯，因此，现在美国家庭给宠物起的名字可以作为宠物人性化的证据，故A项正确。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The pet business is growing even faster than pet numbers, because people are spending more and more
50、 money on them.”可知，宠物生意的增长速度甚至超过了宠物数量，因为人们在宠物身上花费的钱越来越多，由此可知，作者认为一些宠物主人在他们的宠物身上花了太多的钱，故D项正确。【11题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据文章最后一句话“and you have to wonder: whos in charge now?”可知，本文主要抨击了如今人们养宠物的现象，一些人甚至已经沦为宠物的奴隶，故C项（谁是老大？）最适合做文章标题。【点睛】文章标题形式的主旨大意题难度在于被选选项要具有高度的概括性，准确全面地体现出文章内容，因此抓住文章主题是关键，社会生活类文章通常作者会在文章最后表明
51、自己的态度，而作者的态度一般即为文章主题，例如本篇第4题，通读全文，特别是根据文章最后一句话“and you have to wonder: whos in charge now?”可知，本文主要抨击了如今人们养宠物的现象，一些人甚至已经沦为宠物的奴隶，这种现象不禁让人怀疑宠物和主人到底谁才是老大，言外之意，作者认为人们这种饲养宠物的方式是不可取的，故C项（谁是老大？）最适合做文章标题。DLearning a second language is tricky at any age and it only gets tougher the longer you wait to open tha

63、什么孩子比大人更容易学会一门新的语言。【12题详解】词义猜测题。根据第一段划线词所在句Now, in a new study, scientists have pinpointed the exact age at which your chances of reaching fluency in a second language seem to plummet: 10. 现在，科学家们在一项新的研究中精确地指出了你达到流利水平的第二语言的机会_确切年龄：10岁。再根据第二段中The study, published in the journal Cognition, found that
64、its “nearly impossible” for language learners to reach native-level fluency if they start learning a second tongue after 10. 这篇发表在认知杂志上的研究发现，如果语言学习者从10岁以后才开始学习第二语言，他们就“几乎不可能”达到母语水平的流利程度。可知，此处表示的是10岁以后才学习第二语言想达到流利水平的机会就会下降，因此猜测划线词plummet意为“下降，降低”。故选A项。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中“It turns out youre still lear
65、ning fast. Its just that you run out of time, because your ability to learn starts dropping at around 17 or 18 years old,” says study co-author Joshua Hartshorne, an assistant professor of psychology at Boston College.该研究报告的联名作者、波士顿学院心理学助理教授乔舒亚哈特肖恩说：“事实上，你还是能学得很快。问题在于这时候你的时间已经不多了，因为到了1718岁左右，人的学习能力就
66、会开始下降。”以及第三段中“All learning involves the brain changing,” Hartshorne says, “and childrens brains seem to be a lot more skilled at changing.” 哈特肖恩说：“所有学习都跟大脑的改变有关，而孩子的大脑对改变的适应能力似乎比成年人强得多。”可知，乔舒亚哈特肖恩认为成年人已经错过了学习第二语言的关键时期。故选C项。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“People fared better when they learned by immersion (沉浸),
67、 rather than simply in a classroom. And moving to a place where your desired language is spoken is the best way to learn as an adult.” Hartshorne says.乔舒亚哈特肖恩说：“通过浸入式学习，而不是简单地在教室里学习，人们的表现会更好。一个成年人学外语的时候，最好的学习方法是搬到一个使用你想学的语言的地方去”。可知，成年人在学习第二语言时更应该选择身临其境的环境而不是在教室里。故选D项。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段中Now, in a new
68、 study, scientists have pinpointed the exact age at which your chances of reaching fluency in a second language seem to plummet: 10. 现在，科学家们在一项新的研究中精确地指出了你达到流利的第二语言的机会下降的确切年龄：10岁；第二段中The study, published in the journal Cognition, found that its “nearly impossible” for language learners to reach nati

77、通过做一些小的、渐进的改变来实现自己的梦想。【16题详解】空前说如果你想追求你的梦想，一下子改变一切会让你灰心丧气，此处承接这一话题，并与上文形成转折，提到一种正确的做法，G 项中的make small, gradual changes与空前的change everything形成对比，故G项（相反，做一些小的、渐进的改变来准备通往梦想生活的道路，让这个过程更容易）符合语境。【17题详解】空后说不要漏掉任何事情，无论它听起来多么的小，因此此处是说要列出一些事情，故F项（列出你想在生活中完成的事情，包括个人的和职业的）符合语境。【18题详解】空后说根据你目前的情况和生活方式，选择一个相对容易完成
78、的，一个是可行但将需要工作，一个似乎不可能的，C项中的three与空后的三个并列的定语从句相一致，故C项（找出能让你离梦想生活更近的三件事）符合语境。【19题详解】空后说每次完成其中一步时，将其划掉，这样除了最终结果之外，还可以庆祝这个过程，这说明此处是说要如何一步一步完成目标，D项中的achieve与空后的complete相一致，故D项（从最小的一步开始，直到你完成你的目标）符合语境。【20题详解】空后具体举例説如果你的大梦想是辞掉工作，环游世界，那就开一个储蓄账户，专门存一笔钱，每周存一小笔钱，存上三年。像这样计划你的步骤，它们将是可行的，并顺利地融入你的生活，这说明要为自己的目标设置一个
79、期限并严格去执行，故E项（为每一个目标选择一个截止日期，不管是一年还是五年）符合语境。第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项Christmas was near a season that we took seriously in our house.
