第1、2、3、4、5题: The Tough Grass That Sweetens Our Lives Sugar cane was once a wild grass that grew in New Guinea and was used by local people for roofing their houses and fencing their gardens. gradually a different variety evolved which contained sucrose (蔗糖) and was chewed on for its sweet taste. Over time, sugar cane became a highly valuable commercial plant, grown throughout the world. ______(46) Sugar became a vital ingredient in all kinds of things, from confectionery(糖果点心) to medicine, and, as the demand for sugar grew, the industry became larger de more profitable. ______(47) many crops withered(枯萎) and died, despite growers attempts to save them and there were fears that the health of the plant would continues to deteriorate. In the 1960s, scientists working in Barbados looked for ways to make the commercial species stronger and more able to resist disease. They experimented with breeding programs, mixing genes from the wild species of sugar cane, which tends to be tougher, with genes from the more delicate, commercial type. ______(48) this sugar cane is not yet ready to be sold commercially, but when this happens, it is expected to be incredibly profitable for the industry. _______(49) brazil, which produces one quarter of the world’ s sugar, has coordinated an international project under professor Paulo Arrudo of the Universidade Estaudual De Campinas in Sao Paulo. Teams of experts have worked with him to discover more about which parts of the genetic structure of the plant are important for the production of sugar and its overall health. Despite all the research, however, we still do not fully understand how the genes in sugar cane. ______(50) this gene is particularly exciting because it makes the plant resistant to rust, a disease which probably originated in India, but is now capable of infecting sugar cane across the world. Scientists believe they will eventually be able to grow a plant which cannot be destroyed by rust. A. The majority of the world’s sugar now comes from this particular commercial species. B. Unfortunately, however, the plant started to become weaker and more prone to disease. C. Eventually, a commercial plant was developed which was 5 percent sweeter than before, but also much stronger and less likely to die from disease. D. Since the 1960s, scientists have been analyzing the mysteries of the sugar cane’s genetic code. E. One major gene has been identified by Dr Angélique D’Hont and her team in Montpelier, France. F. Sugar cane is now much more vigorous and the supply of sugar is therefore more guaranteed. |

第25、26、27、28、29题: 第二篇 Shopping at Second-hand Clothing Stores When 33-year-old Pete Barth was in college, shopping at second-hand clothing stores was just something he did - “like changing the tires on his car.” He looked at his budget and decided he could save a lot of money by shopping for clothes at thrift shops. “Even new clothes are fairly disposable (可丢掉的) and wear out after a couple of years,” Barth said. “In thrift shops, you can find some great stuff whose quality is better than new clothes.” Since then, Barth, who works at a Goodwill thrift shop in the US state of Florida, has found that there are all kinds of reasons for shopping for second-hand clothing. Some people, like him, shop to save money. Some shop for a crazy-looking shirt. And some shop as a means of conserving energy and helping the environment. Pat Akins, an accountant at a Florida Salvation Army (SA) (救世军) thrift shop, said that, for her, shopping at thrift shops is a way to help the environment. “When my daughter was little, we looked at it as recycling,” Akins said. “Also, why pay 30 dollars for a new coat when you can get another one for a lot less?” Akins said that the SA has shops all over the US - “some as big as department stores.” All of the clothes are donated (捐赠), and when they have a surplus (盈余), they'll have “stuff a bag” specials, where customers can fill a grocery sack With clothes for only 5 or 10 dollars. Julia Slocum, 22, points out, however, that the huge amount of second-hand clothing in the US is the result of American wastefulness. I'd say that second-hand stores are the result of our wasteful, materialistic culture,“ said Slocum, who works for a pro-conservation organization, the Center for a New American Dream. ”Thrift shops prevent that waste from going to landfills (垃圾填埋场); they give clothing a second life, provide cheaper clothing for those who can't afford new ones and generate (生成) income for charities. They also provide a way for the wealthy and middle classes to shed (摆脱) some of the guilt for their level of consumption.“ 36 Which statement about Barth is NOT true? A He is 33 years old now. B He works at a Goodwill thrift shop. C He works at a Salvation Army thrift shop. D He was a college student many years ago 37 When Barth was a college student, he often shopped at thrift shops A to save money. B to save energy. C to help the environment. D to make friends with poor people. 38 What does Akins do? A She is a soldier. B She is an accountant C She is a saleswoman. D She is a road sweeper. 39 Thrift shops can do everything EXCEPT A give clothing a second life. B generate income for charities. C provide cheaper clothes for the poor D stop rich people from wasting money 40 The word “thrift ”in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by A charity. B one dollar. C first class. D two dollars. |

第31、32、33、34、35、36、37、38题: Alcoholism ( 酗酒) 1 Yes, alcoholism can be treated. Alcoholism treatment programs use both counseling and medication ( 药物治疗) to help a person stop drinking. Most alcoholics need help to recover from their disease. With support and treatinent, many people are able to stop drinking and rebuild their lives. 2 A range of medication is used to treat alcohoism. Benzodiazepines ( 苯二氮平类药物) are sometimes used during the first days after a person stops drinking to help him or her safely withdraw from alcohol. However, these medications are not used beyond the first few days because they may be highly addictive. Other medications help people remain sober ( 清醒) . One medication used for this purpoce is naltrexone ( 环丙甲羟二羟吗啡酮) , When combined with counseling, naltrexone can reduce the strong desire for alcohol and help prevent a person from returning to heavy drinking. Another medication, disulfiram ( 戒酒硫 ) , discourages drinking by making the person feel sick if he or she drinks alcohol. Though several medications help treat alcoholism, there is no "magic bullet. " Developing new and more effective medications to treat alcoholism remains a high priority for researchers. 3 Alcoholism treatment works for many people. But just like any chronic disease, there are different levels of success in treatment. Some people stop drinking and remain sober. Others cannot stop drinking for any length of time. With treatment, one thing is clear, however, the longer a person stops drinking alcohol, the more likely he or she will be able to stay sober. 4 No, alcoholism cannot be cured at this time. Even if an alcoholic hasn't been drinking for a long time, he or she can still return to the drinking habit. To guard against it, an alcoholic must continue to avoid all alcoholic drinks. 23 Paragraph 1 24 Paragraph 2 25 Paragraph 3 26 Paragraph 4 A Does alcoholism treatment woric? B What is alcoholism? C Can alcoholism be cured? D Can alcoholism be treated? E What are drinking problems? F What medications treat alcoholism? 27 Medication can help some people 28 Disulfiram can prevent drinking by making the alcoholic 29 For alcoholism treatment, there is no single medication that works 30 The key to cure alcoholism is to avoid all A feel sick B in every person C medical treatment D stop drinking E alcoholic drinks F stay confused |
