【題目】 One thing that most of us probably can agree on: just about every parent thinks that his or her kid is special. 1. Good intentions, however, do not often lead to good outcomes: people who particularly dislike their name-and also if other people think it's an odd (怪異的) and unlikeable name-tend not to be as well-adjusted.

2, maybe even something fairly significant, about your parents' religious or ethnic (種族的) background, their level of income or education, maybe even their politics. From what we can tell, your name is not your destiny (命運(yùn)). The story goes that two brothers in New York were named Loser and Winner by their parents. Loser turned out to have a great life as an upstanding citizen. He was a police detective. 3 .

Just think about it for a minute. 4 -your intelligence, your taste, your health, your work morals and decision-making-to say nothing of luck.

Now, considering all of those heavyweight forces, how much could something as surface as a name really affect your life's outcome? 5 , it isn't that hard to change it.

A.Your life is determined by yourself

B.And Winner had been a career criminal

C.A name contains a rich set of information

D.Think about all the things that make you

E.It is true that your name may tell the world something

F.Plus which: if you really think your name is holding you back

G.And part of what makes each of our kids special is the names we give them

【答案】

1G

2E

3B

4D

5F

【解析】

這是一篇議論文。很多人的名字包含了美好的的寓意,但是名字并不能決定一個(gè)人的的命運(yùn)。

1

前一句提到“我們大多數(shù)人可能都會(huì)同意一件事:差不多每個(gè)父母都認(rèn)為他或她的孩子是特別的”,G項(xiàng)“讓每個(gè)孩子與眾不同的部分原因是我們給他們?nèi)〉拿帧背薪由衔模忉屔弦痪渲懈改赣X(jué)得孩子與眾不同的原因,G項(xiàng)中“special”與上一句中的“special”呼應(yīng)。故選G項(xiàng)。

2

空后一句“甚至是一些相當(dāng)重要的事情,關(guān)于你父母的宗教或種族背景,他們的收入或教育水平,甚至可能是他們的政治立場(chǎng)”是舉例說(shuō)明名字中傳達(dá)的信息,所以E項(xiàng)“的確,你的名字可能向世界表明一些事情”切題,且E項(xiàng)中“something”與空后一句中的“something”呼應(yīng),故選E項(xiàng)。

3

上文提出觀點(diǎn)“your name is not your destiny(你的名字不是你的命運(yùn))”,接下來(lái)舉了分別名為“Loser”和“Winner”的例子,空前一句提到“Loser結(jié)果作為一個(gè)正直的公民過(guò)著很好的生活。他是一個(gè)警察偵探”,由此推知空處應(yīng)是說(shuō)Winner的命運(yùn),所以B項(xiàng)“Winner成為一個(gè)職業(yè)罪犯”切題,與上文Loser的命運(yùn)形成對(duì)比,印證上文的觀點(diǎn)。故選B項(xiàng)。

4

空前提到“花一分鐘的時(shí)間想想它”,D項(xiàng)中“Think about”與空前一句“think about”呼應(yīng),D項(xiàng)“想想是什么構(gòu)成了現(xiàn)在的你”承接上句,且下一句“——你的智力,你的品位,你的健康,你的工作道德和決斷能力——與運(yùn)氣無(wú)關(guān)”是思考的具體內(nèi)容,D項(xiàng)中“all the things”與下一句中“your intelligence, your taste, your health, your work morals and decision-making”呼應(yīng),上下句銜接自然。故選D項(xiàng)。

5

空前“現(xiàn)在考慮一下這些重要的影響力量,像一個(gè)名字一樣淺顯的事情能真的對(duì)你的生活結(jié)果有多少影響呢?”是用用問(wèn)句的形式表達(dá)觀點(diǎn)“名字不會(huì)決定命運(yùn)”,再由空后“改變它并不是那么難”可推知,空處內(nèi)容應(yīng)是與上文觀點(diǎn)相反,F項(xiàng)“另外:如果你真的認(rèn)為是名字阻礙你”切題。故選F項(xiàng)。

From the “Roman Warm Period” to the “Little Ice Age” that began in the 14th century, periods of hot and cold weather1 (extend) for centuries. As a result, many have argued that the current period of global warming2(be) part of a natural pattern and the human role in creating3 has been exaggerated.

This new study suggests that is not4 case. Scientists reconstructed the major climate events of the past 2,000 years by looking around 700 records, tree rings, ice cores and lake sediments(沉淀物) 5 (include).

【題目】 As a famous doctor, Sigmund Freud has problems telling his left from his right. He writes in his diary: I do not know whether it is obvious to other people which is their own or other’s right or left. In my case, I have to think which is my right and no organic feeling tells me. To make sure which is my right hand, I have to make a few writing movements quickly.

Neuroscientist Eric Chudler at the University of Washington referred to a recent study where 71 of 364 (19.5 percent) college professors and 311 of 1,185 (26.2 percent) college students said that they occasionally, frequently or all of the time had difficulty when they had to quickly identify right from left. Chudler told The Washington Post that 95 percent of the 3,719 people who tried his test reported more difficulty with left/right than with up/down.

In most cases, left/right confusion is rarely a big deal. But knowing your directions obviously can be critical if you’re a surgeon or a pilot. That’s why in key situations, there are plans in place to minimize(使減到最少)the chance of problems. In a health care situation, someone may write “not this leg” on a limb(肢), for example. And in the air, because distractions(分心)can cause any number of errors, pilots must avoid all non—essential conversation during the critical phases of flight.

Experts say that right/left confusion doesn’t mean you’re not smart. But scientists aren’t totally sure what causes the right/left confusion. There does, however, seem to be a link between right/left confusion and brain lateralization(偏側(cè)性)—the fact that the right and left halves of the brain each control unique functions.

There may, however, be an association with gender(性別). Several studies have found that women are more likely than men to say they are sometimes unable to distinguish between their right and their left. But some researchers say that’s only because women are more likely than men to admit they may have a problem.

1According to Sigruund Freud’s diary, he .

A.can’t tell the right directly

B.doesn’t know which is his right hand

C.is more foolish than other people

D.isn’t satisfied with his organic feeling

2Eric Chudler mentions the numbers in Paragraph 2 to tell us that .

A.it is easy to tell up from down

B.left/right is as important as up/down

C.many people have trouble with left/right

D.most people can judge left/right easily

3Which of the following may be the important moment of flight according to the text?

A.When the plane is taking off.

B.When the plane is coming down.

C.When the pilot is talking with others.

D.When the pilot is judging the directions.

4Where can you probably read the text?

A.In a private diary.B.In a science fiction.

C.In a latest newspaper.D.In a fashion magazine.

【題目】 AIDS may be one of the most undesirable diseases in the world. Luckily, there is now hope for AIDS patients. According to a recent paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine, Chinese scientists have successfully used CRISPR technology-a method of gene editing-to treat a patient with HIV. While it may not have cured the patient fully, it still represents a huge step forward in fighting the disease.

The patient was a 27-year-old Chinese man who was diagnosed with both AIDS and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a type of blood cancer. Despite his bleak situation, doctors offered him a glimmer of hope: a bone marrow (骨髓) transplant to treat his cancer and an experimental treatment for his HIV.

They edited the DNA in bone marrow stem cells from a donor before transplanting the cells into the patient. Specifically, the treatment involved using the gene-editing tool CRISPR-Cas9 to delete a gene known as CCRS, which encodes a protein that HIV uses to get inside human cells. Without the gene, HIV is unable to enter cells. Talking about the gene, lead scientist Deng Hongkui told CNN, “After being edited, the cells-and the blood cells they produce-have the ability to resist HIV infection.” Nineteen months after the treatment, the patient’s leukemia was in complete relief and donor cells without CCR5 remained, according to the research paper.

Though the transplant did not cure the man’s HIV, it still showed the effectiveness of gene-editing technology, as there was no indication of any unintended genetic alterations (改變) -a major concern with past gene therapy experiments.

Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in the United States, who was not involved in the study, praised the treatment. “They did a very innovative experiment, it was safe,” he told Live Science. “It should be viewed as a success.”

Deng believes gene-editing technology could “bring a new dawn” to blood-related diseases such as AIDS and sickle cell anemia. Thanks to this new technology, “the goal of a functional cure for AIDS is getting closer and closer,” he said.

1How did the new treatment fight against HIV?

A.By preventing HIV from entering cells.B.By changing the structure of HIV.

C.By removing a protein that HIV feeds on.D.By identifying and killing HIV.

2What was the result of the treatment?

A.CCR5 and other genes in the patient’s cells were changed.

B.Some of the patient’s blood cells could resist HIV infection.

C.HIV could no longer get into the patient’s cells.

D.The donor cells without CCR5 disappeared finally.

3What do we know about the experiment?

A.It has provided an innovative way to cure AIDS patients.

B.It pointed out the problems of gene therapy for AIDS.

C.It’s the first experiment to use gene-editing technology to treat AIDS.

D.It could offer a safe treatment for blood-related diseases.

【題目】 The Swedish Academy has named Polish writer Olga Tokarczuk winner of the 2019 Nobel Prize for Literature. It also announced that it was honoring Austrian Peter Handke with the 2018 Nobel Prize for Literature. The Academy cancelled the prize last year after many members fled the organization following sexual abuse accusations linked to it.

The Academy said it awarded Tokarczuk for imaginative writing that “represents the crossing of boundaries as a form of life.”

The Polish writer’s first published work came in 1989, a book of poetry called Cities in Mirrors. Her first novel, The Journey of the Book-People, was published in 1993. Last year, Tokarczuk became the first Polish writer to win Britain’s Man Booker Prize for International Literature for her novel Flights. Her novel Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, was on the short list of nominees for the 2019 prize as well. That prize went to another writer. Tokarczuk spoke Thursday with readers hours after she won the Nobel. “I can only write.” She said.

The Swedish Academy said it named Peter Handke winner of the 2018 prize for “influential work that with linguistic gift has explored the boundary and the specificity of human experience.” Handke’s first novel was published in 1966. He also writes plays and is a political organizer. The Austrian writer was an opponent(反對(duì)者) of NATO’s air attacks against Serbia in the Kosovo war of thelate1990s.He was a supporter of the Serbian government under the leadership of Slobodan Milosevic. He has denied that Bosnian Serb troops carried out a campaign killing of 8, 000 locals in Srebrenica during the Bosnian war in the 1990s. As a result, some critics are angry that he was given the Nobel Prize.

At home in Paris Thursday, Handke called the decision to give him the literature award “courageous.” He said the recognition gave him “a strange kind of freedom.”

1Which of Tokarczuk’s works won Britain’s Man Booker Prize?

A.Cities in Mirrors.B.Flights.

C.The Journey of the Book-PeopleD.Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead.

2What does the underlined word “nominees” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A.A candidate to be selected to an office.B.A candidate seeking a kind of position.

C.A candidate chosen by a political party.D.A candidate being considered for an honor.

3How does Peter Handke find the Nobel committee?

A.Fearless.B.Awesome.C.Strange.D.Embarrassed.

4What’s the best title of the text?

A.Peter Handke from Austria Win 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature.

B.Olga Tokarczuk from Poland Win 2019 Nobel Prize in Literature.

C.Writers from Austria and Poland Win 2018, 2019 Nobel Prize in Literature.

D.Writers from Poland and Austria Win 2018, 2019 Nobel Prize in Literature.
