Virus will disappear from T-cells because of them．24.Kamel Khalili's words in the last two paragraphs indicate that ______ ．A. his new method is bound to be a perfect cure for AIDSB. antiretroviral drugs will be dropped in the near futureC. their discovery has made great contributions to human beingsD. they will succeed curing AIDS if they aren't lacking in money．【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】C 【小题3】D【解析】BCD62．B 根据Researchers have developed a method to cut the viral （病毒）DNA from a person's infected cells．可知，新的方法是把患者感染细胞内的病毒DNA去除，故选B 63．C 根据They keep the virus from growing．But they do not remove the memory of the virus from the cells．可知antiretroviral drugs不能完全治愈艾滋病患者，故选C64．D 根据And hopefully，there will be funding to take us toward this exciting moment for developing the cure strategy by getting rid of viral DNA using editing techniques．"如果不缺少资金的资助，他们对早日战胜艾滋病毒充满了信心，故选D本文讲述了自从上世纪90年代艾滋病爆发以来，科学家已经在寻找治疗艾滋病的方法，现在终于有了新的突破研究人员发现一种新的方法，能够阻止艾滋病病毒DNA在人体细胞内继续复制，这种方法叫做CRISPR/Cas9．尽管这种方法还没有治愈任何人，但科学家想象不久的将来可以攻克艾滋病这一难题．本文是新闻题材，关注此类文章的特征：新闻的主题往往在第一段，最后常常有总结的段落．中间部分是对新闻细节的展开说明．所以在阅读时要关注首段和尾端，把握主旨；解题时要关注中间的细节，根据题干和选项中的关键词或句定位细节，比对选项和文章细节确定答案．DLast summer，after 16 years in the United States，I traveled to the city in Russia where I grew up．I was the first in my family to return after all those years．My mom gave me a hand-drawn map showing the location of my grandfather's tomb at the local cemetery，and she asked me to visit it．It was really important to her that I go there．My grandfather died when I was little，and she wanted me to remember him．He was still very much alive in her mind，and she wanted him to continue to live in my mind as well．So I promised that the first thing I'd do when I arrived would be to visit the cemetery．However，I got caught up in work，and I had a lot of catching up to do with my childhood friends．It wasn't until a day before I was leaving that I found time to go to the cemetery．It was late in the afternoon，and right by the entrance was a lady who was selling flowers．By then she had only seven carnations left in her bucket．I bought them all，but when I reached for my wallet，I realized I didn't have the map with me．I had no idea what had happened to that map．And I had no idea where my grandfather's tomb was located．I could call my mom and ask her．But the problem was that I had already told her I'd gone to the cemetery．What was I going to say？I found the main office．Fortunately it was open，and inside was a small office．Behind the counter was an old woman，and she said she'd help me locate my grandfather's records．A couple of minutes later，she came back with a printout．It turned out there were 17Abraham Pikarskis on the list．I chose the two whose age I believed closely matched my grandfather's．I set off to look for them．I hoped that at least one would have a portrait on the tombstone．This way I'd know which tomb was mine．I found the first tomb and it said Abraham Pikarski on it，but there was no portrait．Only an inscription （碑铭）：From the Loving Wife and Children．I had no idea whether this was the right one，so I went off to look for the other one．I found it，too，and it was virtually indistinguishable from the first one．It said Abraham Pikarski，no portrait．The inscription was slightly different．It said：From the Grieving Family．I had no idea what to do．Was my family the loving one or the grieving one？I was standing there waiting，thinking maybe some sort of special feeling would come to me．Maybe I'd feel some sort of close relationship with the person who was lying there．I put three carnations on that tomb，and I went back to the first one．I stood there，too，for a while，and again I was hoping that I'd feel something special．But it was getting late，and I had to pack for the trip back to New York，so I put three carnations on this tomb．I stood there with the last flower in my hand．Which Abraham Pikarski should it go to？Should I just throw it away？I had to come up with some sort of a solution．Then，suddenly，I knew what to do．I put that flower on that same tomb where I was standing．I thought if this is really my grandfather who is lying there，then all is good，and he got the most．But if not，then let this be kind of comfort to the stranger，because somebody else's grandson came all the way from America to pay his respects．I went back to the hotel and flew home to New York the next day．I never found that map again．Mom and Dad picked me up at the airport．On the way home from the airport，my mom started crying，"I'm so happy that you took the time to visit your grandfather's tomb．It really means so much to me．You know when you called and told me you went there，I thought you were just saying it to make me feel good．"When I was still in the air this morning，her cousin who lives in Russia had called and told my mother that she had just come from the cemetery and had seen my flowers there．So my mom knew that I had really done this．Should I ask her how many flowers her cousin saw？Three or four？But then I decided that maybe I should not say anything at all．25.The author visited his grandfather's tomb just before he returned to America because______ ．A. he lost the map his mother drew for himB. he occupied himself with many thingsC. he wasn't well familiar with the cemeteryD. he didn't have affection for his grandfather26.The reason why the author didn't turn to his mother is that ______ ．A. he was unwilling to be regarded as a liarB. he couldn't make up a reasonable excuseC. he intended to recover the map by himselfD. he was able to locate grandfather's tomb27.The author chose the two tombs out of the 17according to ______ ．A. their appearanceB. their inscriptionC. their ageD. their location28.Why did the author's mother cry on the way home？______A. He paid respect to a stranger．B. The author kept his promise．C. She kept grandfather in mind．D. Her cousin found the flowers．29.From the last two paragraphs we can know that ______ ．A. he was ashamed of having telling a lie to his motherB. he was content to have presented the followers to a strangerC. he was aware of which tomb was his grandfather's in the endD. he thought it made no sense to figure out the location of the tomb30.What might be the best title for the passage？______A. A journey to hometownB. A tomb embarrassmentC. A pleasant coincidenceD. A hand-drawn map．【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】A 【小题3】C 【小题4】B 【小题5】D 【小题6】B【解析】65．B 细节理解题．根据文章第三段第二句However，I got caught up in work，and I had a lot of catching up to do with my childhood friends．It wasn't until a day before I was leaving that I found time to go to the cemetery可知作者之前忙于工作，因此没有时间去墓地，因此答案选B．66．A 推理判断题．根据文章第四段最后三句话I could call my mom and ask her．But the problem was that I had already told her I'd gone to the cemetery．What was I going to say？可以推断作者告诉了他的母亲他已经去过墓地了，因此他不想让母亲认为自己撒谎．67．C 细节理解题．根据文章第五段最后两句话It turned out there were 17Abraham Pikarskis on the list．I chose the two whose age I believed closely matched my grandfather's．可知作者是根据年龄选了其中的两个坟墓，因此答案选C．68．B 推理判断题．根据文章倒数第二段后两句话On the way home from the airport，my mom started crying，"I'm so happy that you took the time to visit your grandfather's tomb．It really means so much to me．You know when you called and told me you went there，I thought you were just saying it to make me feel good．"可知作者的母亲是因为作者的确花时间去看望了外祖父的坟墓，而不只是说说而已，因此这让母亲因高兴而哭了．因此答案选B．。
