Students from a jewellery school once came to Brush’s studio, a loft in mid-Manhattan, awed to be meeting a figure who, to them, was a worker of miracles.For 45 years in that loft, he had pursued his calling. His wife Olivia was the only company. He produced hundreds of objects of all sorts, most of them exquisite and many astonishingly small. Rather than use electricity, he laboured alone in a forest of antique machines and when tools frustrated him, he made his own, displaying them in cupboards as art in themselves.Above all else, he worked in gold. His obsession took fire when at 13 he saw an Etruscan gold bowl in the Victoria and Albert Museum. The ancient technique of applying gold beads as fine as sand-grains to a curved gold surface without solder (焊接), was stunning, but so was the lightness of spirit.He resolved then that he would make such a bowl, and gold became the study of his life. Simply to watch it melt, turn to red-hot and white-hot, then glow purple, was magical. To hold pure gold grain and let it move slowly through his fingers restored his calm of spirit. His chief motivation, he said, was to understand the material and, through that, himself. He wondered why his heart had beaten so fast in the museum that day. Gold in particular had a message for him. His contact with this glorious metal might focus all his attention and help him to hear it.He developed delicate craftsmanship, with each object virtually a museum piece. For Daniel Brush, he loved the idea that one might take a piece made by Brush out of a pocket, let its beauty pass from mind to mind, and smile. That too was what its maker was after.24. What can we learn about Daniel Brush?A. Students visited him regularly.B. He began to live in his loft in 1975.C. He tended to use ancient crafts to produce objects.D. Most objects he produced were of a surprisingly small size.25. What is the main reason for his lifelong study of gold?A. He wanted to learn more about both gold and himself.B. He wondered why his heart had beat fast in the museum.C. His calm was restored when gold grain moved through fingers.D. Gold had a particular message for him and he was eager to hear it.26. Which of the following can best describe Daniel Brush?A. Stubborn.B. Wealthy.C. Dedicated.D. Lonely.27. What does the author try to emphasize in the last paragraph?A. Brush’s valuable works.B. The admirers Brush expected.C. Brush’s desire for fame.D. The artistic ideal Brush pursued.CWe all know that unpleasant feeling when we’re talking about something interesting and halfway through our sentence we’re interrupted. But was that really an interruption? The answer depends on whom you ask, according to new research led by Katherine Hilton from Stanford University.Using a set of controlled audio clips (录音片段), Hilton surveyed 5,000 American English speakers to better understand what affects people’s perceptions of interruptions. She had participants listen to audio clips and then answer questions about whether the speakers seemed to be friendly andengaged, listening to one another, or trying to interrupt.Hilton found that American English speakers have different conversational styles. She identified two distinct groups: high and low intensity speakers. High intensity speakers are generally uncomfortable with moments of silence in conversation and consider talking at the same time a sign of engagement. Low intensity speakers find it rude to talk at the same time and prefer people speak one after another in conversation.The differences in conversational styles became evident when participants listened to audio clips in which two people spoke at the same time but were agreeing with each other and stayed on topic, Hilton said. The high intensity group reported that conversations where people spoke at the same time when expressing agreement were not interruptive but engaged and friendlier than the conversations with moments of silence in between speaking turns. In contrast, the low intensity group perceived any amount of simultaneous (同时) chat as a rude interruption, regardless of what the speakers were saying.“People care about being interrupted, and those small interruptions can have a massive effect on the overall communication,” Hilton said.“Breaking apart what an interruption means is essential if we want to understand how humans interact with each other.”28. What does Hilton’s research focus on?A. What interruptions mean to people.B. Whether interruption is good or not.C. How to avoid getting interrupted.D. Why speakers interrupt each other.29. What do participants of the study need to do?A. Record an audio clip.B. Answer some questions.C. Listen to one another.D. Have a chat with a friend.30. What do low intensity speakers think of simultaneous chat?A. It’s important.B. It’s interesting.C. It’s inefficient.D. It’s impolite.31. What can we learn from Hilton’s research?A. Human interaction is complex.B. Communication is the basis of life.C. Interruptions promote thinking.D. Language barriers will always exist.DSwot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth’s vital resource. By using advanced microwave radar technology it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe. It’s really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface.The major mission is to explore how oceans help to minimize climate change by absorbingatmospheric heat and carbon dioxide in a natural process. Oceans are estimated to have absorbed more than 90% of the extra heat trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere by human-caused greenhouse gases. Swot will scan the seas from the orbit and precisely measure fine differences in surface elevations (高度) around smaller currents and eddies (漩涡), where much of the oceans’ decrease of heat and carbon is believed to occur. “Studying the mechanism will help climate scientists answer a key question: What is the turning point at which oceans start releasing, rather than absorbing, huge amounts of heat back into the atmosphere and speed up global warming, rather than limiting it,” said Nadya Shiffer, Swot’s program scientist.By comparison, earlier studies of water bodies relied on data of rivers or oceans taken at specific points, or from satellites that can only track measurements along a one-dimensional line, requiring scientists to fill in data gaps through extrapolation (外推法). Thanks to the radar instrument, Swot can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth. This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible.“Rather than giving us a line of elevations, it’s giving us a map of elevations, and that’s just a total game changer,” said Tamlin Pavelsky, Swot freshwater science leader.32．What does the underlined expression “vital resource” in the first paragraph refer to?A. Technology.B. Climate.C. Oceans.D. Water.33．What is the major mission of Swot?A. To explore the influences of greenhouse gases.B. To explain the consequence of global warming.C. To identify the causes of water absorbing heat and CO2.D. To study the mechanism of oceans influencing climate.34．What makes it possible for Swot to measure precisely?A. The high-definition computer.B. Advanced radar technology.C. The three-dimensional image.D. An accurate map of elevations.35．Which is the most suitable title for the text?A. A Solution to Climate ChangeB. A Breakthrough in Space TravelC. First Global Water Survey from SpaceD. The Successful Launch of Swot Satellite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。

Reading Comprehension (40’)AA company planning to open the first hotel in space says it is on target to accept its first paying guests in 2012 despite critics questioning the investment and the length of time for the multibillion-dollar project.The Barcelona-based architects of the Galactic Suite Space Resort say it will cost $4.4 million for a three-night stay at the hotel. This price also includes an eight-week training course on an island. During their stay, guests would see the sunrise 15 times a day and travel around the world every 80 minutes.Galactic Suite Ltd's CEO Xavier Claramunt says the project will put his company in a leading position of a new industry with a huge future ahead of it, and forecasts space travel will become c ommon in the future. “It's very normal to think that your children, possibly within 15 years, could spend a weekend in space” hetold Reuters Television.A promising space tourism industry is beginning to take shape with construction in progress in New Mexico of Spaceport America, the world's first facility built specifically for passengers. British industrialist Richard Branson's space tours firm, V irgin Galactic, will use the facility to send tourists to space at a cost of $200,000 a ride.Galactic Suite Ltd, set up in 2007, hopes to start its project with a single pod (分离舱) in orbit 280 miles above the earth. “It will take a day and a half to reach the pod, and the passengers will join it for three days,” Claramunt said. More than 200 people have expressed an interest in traveling to the space hotel and at least 43 people have already reserved it.The numbers are similar for V irgin Galactic with 300 people already paid or signed up for the trip, but unlike Branson, Galactic Suite says they will use Russian rockets to transport their guests into space from a spaceport to be built on an island in the Caribbean. But critics have questioned the project, saying the length of time that will be used is unreasonable and also where the money is coming from to support the project.16. What's Xavier Claramunt's attitude towards the space tourism industry?A. Quite critical.B. Slightly worried.C. Highly optimistic.D. Fully satisfied.17. Virgin Galactic's guests will be transported into space by using rockets produced in________.A. SpainB. AmericaC. BritainD. Russia18. Which of the following is one of the critics' concerns about this project?A. It is hard to ensure the safety of tourists.B. There are many technical difficulties.C. It will be a waste of resources.D. It may lack support in money.19. According to the passage, traveling to the space hotel ________.A. will soon be possible for common peopleB. has attracted the attention of some peopleC. is sure to make a large profit for the tourist industryD. is considered an industry with a huge future by many people20. What's the best title for the passage?A. The world's first space hotel is to open in 2012.B. The world's first commercial spaceport is being built.C. Space tourism：a surprising new industry.D. Space travel will become common in 15 years.B“Benjamin Franklin,” Walter Isaacson tells us at the beginning of his long (but never boring) new biography, “is the founding father who winks at us.” By that, Isaacson explains, he means Franklin is the most human—and most modern—of the men who shaped the American republic. We admire Washington, Jefferson and Adams, but they remain creatures of the 18th century. The man we encounter in “Benjamin Franklin”—funny, pragmatic and self-aware — seems like one of us, or at least someone we'd like to be.Unlike Washington's cherry tree, Franklin's kite was real. His experiments with electricity made him one of the great scientists of his day. He was a middle-class businessman whose success as a printer and a journalist allowed him to retire at 42—and he devoted the rest of his life to his country. He was diplomat who persuaded the French to back the American Revolution and the author of the first great American autobiography. He was an excellent swimmer. There was almost nothing he couldn't do well, except write poetry. But what truly distinguished Franklin was his talent of being great and human at the same time. He owned slaves as a younger man, but in his last years became an abolitionist(废奴主义者).When he fatheredan illegitimate(私生的) son, he acknowledged his fatherhood and took the responsibility of raising the boy.He seems strange today in the joy he took in compiling and creating all those self- improvement maxims he published in Poor Richard's Almanac(年鉴) —“early to bed, early to rise” and so on. Generations of lazy boys could have been happier without that. But he was no hypocrite(伪君子). Isaacson tells us Franklin practiced what he preached, and often laughed at himself while he did so.By a happy accident, this is the second excellent biography of Franklin to appear in two years, after Edmund S.Morgan's inspiring “Benjamin Franklin.”21. What type of literature does this passage belong to?A. Research paper.B. Book review.C. Biography.D. Short story.22. The underlined word “maxims” in Paragraph 3 probably means________.A. proverbsB. standardsC. requestsD. orders23. With the fact that Franklin shouldered the responsibilities of raising his illegitimate son, the authorwants to prove that________.A. Franklin had made a big fortune in his business before he got devoted to politiesB. Franklin might be the only parent to support the child at that timeC. Franklin was a great man who seems human to usD. Franklin was improving his character when he got on in ages24. The underlined word “himself” in Paragraph 3 refers to________.A. Richard's AlmanacB. Walter isaacsonC. anyone of the readers.D. Benjamin Franklin25. In which part of a magazine can we most probably find this article?A. Society and the Arts.B. Current Affairs.C. Business Report.D. Advertisement.CMany private institutions of higher education around the country are in danger. Not all will be saved, and perhaps not all deserve to be saved. There are low-quality schools just as there are low-quality businesses. We have no duty to save them simply because they exist.But many promising institutions that deserve to continue are threatened. They are doing a fine job educationally, but they are caught in a financial squeeze, with no way to reduce rising cost or increase income significantly. Raising tuition doesn‟t bring in more income, for each time tuition goes up, the enrollment goes down, or the amount that must be given away in student aid goes up. Schools are bad businesses, whether public or private, not usually because of mismanagement but because of the nature of the enterprise. They lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students. Even a very good college is a very bad business.It is such colleges, promising but threatened, that I worry about. Low enrollment is not their chief problem. Even with full enrollment, they may go under. Efforts to save them, and preferably to keep them private, are a national necessity. There is no basis for arguing that private schools are inherently (固有地) better than public schools. There are many examples to the contrary. Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world. It is now inevitable that public institutions will be domin ant, and therefore diversity is a national necessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms of education. In an imperfect society such as ours, uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous, In an imperfect society, diversity is a positive good. Supporters of public higher education know the importance of sustaining private higher education.26. According to the author‟s opinion schools are bad businesses because of ________.A. mismanagementB. too few studentsC. too many studentsD. the nature of schools27. The author used the phr ase “go under” (Sentence 3, Para. 3) to mean ________.A. get into difficultiesB. have low enrollmentC. have low tuitionD. bring in more money28. We can reasonably conclude from this passage that the author made an appeal to the public in order tosupport _______A. public institutionsB. private schoolsC. uniformity of educationD. high quality of education29. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. High-quality private schools deserve to be saved.B. If the tuition is raised, the enrollment goes down.C. There are many cases to show that public schools are better that private schools.D. Private schools have more money than public schools.30. Which of the following ways could possibly save private schools?A. Raising tuition.B. Full enrollment.C. National awareness and support.D. Reduction of rising cost.DThey may be just passing your office, computer bag slung (悬挂) over one shoulder. Or they may be sitting in a car outside it, causally tapping away at a laptop. They look like innocent passers-by. In fact, they are stealing your corporate secrets.Drive-by hacking is the trendy term given to the practice of breaking into wireless comput er networks from outside the buildings that house them. A recent study in the UK, sponsored by RSA Data Security, found that two-thirds of organizations with wireless networks were risking their data in this way. Security experts patrolled (巡逻) several streets in the City of London seeking evidence of wireless networks in operation.Of 124 that they identified, 83 were sending data without encrypting（加密）them. Such data could readily be picked up by a passer-by armed only with a portable computer, a wireless modem and a few pieces of software that can be freely down-loaded from the Internet.The data could include sensitive company documents containing valuable information. Or they could be e-mail identities and passwords that could be used by hackers to log into corporate networks as if they were legal users.Most companies using wireless networking technology do not take even the simplest of precautions to protect their data. Nearly all wireless network technology comes with some basic security features that need only to be activated in order to give a minimum level of security, for example, by encrypting the data being passed over the network.Raymon Kruck, business development manager at Check Point Software, a security technology specialist, believes this could be partly a psychological problem. People see the solid walls of their building as safeguards and forget that wireless networks can extend up to 200 meters beyond physical walls.Companies without any security at all on their wireless networks make it ridiculously easy for hackers to break in. Switching on the security that comes with the network technology should be automatic. Then there are other basic steps a company can take, says Mr. Kruck, such as changing the passwords on the network from the default (默认) setting.Companies can also install firewalls, which form a barrier between the internal network and the public Internet. They should also check their computer records regularly to spot any abnormal activity, which might betray the presence of a hacker.31. According to the study sponsored by RSA Data Security, two thirds of the subjects _______.A. had their corporate data stolenB. depended on wireless computer networksC. were exposed to drive-by hackingD. were entirely unaware of the risk of wireless hacking32. Which of the following is not considered in the study?A. The number of wireless hacking incidents.B. The number of wireless computer networks.C. The way in which data are sent and received.D. The way in which data are hacked and stolen.33. Most wireless network technology comprises _________.A. data encryption programsB. password security programsC. illegal-user detectionD. virus-intrusion detection34. Raymond Kruck most probably agrees that wireless network security involves ________.A. wireless signal administrationB. changes in user‟s awarenessC. users‟ psychological healthD. stronger physical walls35. Without firewalls, companies using wireless networks __________.A. cannot operate normallyB. should turn to passwordsC. will be easily attacked by hackersD. can still spot the activities of hackersIII. Passage completion (10’)With the reform of Chinese higher education, more and more colleges and universities put emphasis on nurturing students' abilities. 36 a consequence, elective courses are 37(avail) not only for excellent academic performers but also for students of the average level.

She knows first-hand the importance of art to maintaining native traditions. In 2015 she turned that knowledge into her own brand: B．Yellowtail. A year later, she created the B．Yellowtail Collective, made up of native artists, to foster economic opportunities for their communities. Many of those artists are women from different tribes but all of them preserve their culture and move it forward through their medium of choice.Yellowtail and her team work for the native-owned business that’s rooted in community. Artists within the Collective typically receive 70% of profit from retail sales, and for a portion of the pandemic (流行病) the brand has upped that to 100%. The extra money has, ofcourse, increased artists’ income in the past year, but the relationship is interdependent: without the work of those artists, B．Yellowtail wouldn’t exist and native culture would feel the loss.Dewanda Little Coyote is Yellowtail’s mother. Family is deeply important to their tribe. So is art, which often runs in the family — and along the matriarchal (母系的) side. Little Coyote picked up her entrepreneurial spirit from her parents, who owned a gift shop. “My parents said, ‘If you have hands, create something. Do something, and make a living off of that,’” she said. After her parents passed away, the artist began learning beading (串珠) earrings herself. Dentalium, a tusk shell often used in native jewelry, caught her eye in particular. “I love it, because back in the day, our Cheyenne women wore a lot of dentalium,” she said. “So I wanted to give a contemporary look to that — to what our ancestors wore.”Yellowtail herself learned sewing from her aunts and grandmothers before moving to Los Angeles in 2007 to study fashion design. Now, native women support native women — and matriarchal art evolves.44．Why did Bethany Yellowtail set up B．Yellowtail?A．To make their culture continue.B．To become rich as soon as possible.C．To reflect the modem fashions.D．To inspire more women to work. 45．What can we learn from the third paragraph?A．Native-owned businesses make money more easily.B．The profit from the Collective has fallen sharply.C．Local artists love to work in their community.D．Artists, income is related to the development of native culture.46．Why is Dewanda Little Coyote mentioned in the text?A．To prove she loves her daughter deeply.B．To show how native culture is handed down.C．To praise her efforts to help the young.D．To appeal to more women to join in jewelry design.47．What kind of person is Bethany Yellowtail?A．Humorous, modest and cooperative.B．Traditional, cautious and outgoing.C．Independent, competitive and creative.D．Creative, determined and selfless.When faced with the decision to get out of bed or have a few more minutes of sleep,which do you choose? Believe it or not, that decision could make a world of difference in the rest of your day.About 85 percent of Americans use an alarm clock to wake up in the mornings, according to sleep researcher Till Roennenber. And while there are no official numbers on snoozing (打盹), a quick survey of social media makes it clear that hitting the snooze button is a popular pastime.As to how the snooze button will affect your day, scientists have mixed opinions. Some scientists think people who hit the snooze button in the mornings are actually clever, creative and happy while some said that hitting the snooze button will ruin your life, or at the very least your day. "I feel that hitting the snooze button has got to be one of the worst things that ever happened to human sleep,” researcher Jonathan Horowitz said. "The chances of you ‘snoozing’ and actually experiencing a meaningful rest are close to zero.”According to some sleep experts, when hitting the snooze button，you are in fact confusing your body and mind, and throwing yourself into a deep state of being sleepy. The body needs some time to wake up, so, when returning to what will be a light sleep for a brief period of time, you are putting your body back into a sleep mode before waking it again. At that point your body won’t know what it wants, resulting in a sort of half awaken state.If you really want to take advantage of an alarm clock, the key is to form a healthy sleep cycle. Focus your efforts on getting enough sleep each night and waking up at the same time each day so that when your alarm goes off you feel rested.48．What can we infer about hitting the snooze button from Paragraph 2?A．People do it just for fun.B．It is a common practice.C．People take it seriously.D．It is a bit childish.49．What do some sleep experts think of hitting the snooze button?A．It is meaningful in the long term.B．It makes people become lazy.C．It brings us a sense of satisfaction.D．It affects our body and mind.50．What’s the author’s suggestion on getting the best out of alarms?A．Forming a good sleep habit.B．Trying to relax ourselves.C．Making use of willpower.D．Using an extra alarm.51．What is the best title for the text?A．Ways to keep refreshed in the morning.B．The snooze button and people's character.C．Should you rely on the snooze button?D．How to avoid the light sleep mode?From the engine in your car to the CPU in your laptop, mechanical systems tend to heat up when they’re working harder. Now new research has revealed that the same can be said of the brain -and it runs hotter than was previously thought.This isn’t a sign of malfunctioning though, researchers think, and may actually be evidence that the brain is operating healthily. Unusual heat signatures could potentially be used in the future to look for signs of brain damage or disorder.“To me, the most surprising finding from our study is that the healthy human brain can reach temperatures that would be diagnosed as fever anywhere else in the body,” says biologist John O’Neill from the Medical Research Council (MRC) Laboratory of Molecular Biology in the UK. “Such high temperatures have been measured in people with brain injuries in the past, but had been assumed to result from the injury.”Previously, those measurements taken from people with brain injuries had been the primary insight scientists had into brain temperatures which isn’t the same as capturing the state of the brain during everyday life.Here, the team used a technique called magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS)-measuring chemical patterns through magnetic fields to measure brain temperature in 40healthy volunteers, aged from 20 to 40 years old. What’s more, they combined this information with data on circadian rhythms (生理节奏) and time of day.The average brain temperature was38. 5℃ (101.3F) the researchers found, more than2degrees higher than under the tongue. The highest brain temperature recorded was40. 9℃(105. 6℃). Daily variations averaged around1℃(1.8F), with the outer parts of the brain generally cooler.“We found that brain temperature drops at night before you go to sleep and rises during the day, “says O’Neill. “There is good reason to believe this daily variation is associated with long-term brain health—something we hope to investigate next.”52．What does the underlined word “malfunctioning” in paragraph 2 mean？A．Having different functions.B．Failing to work correctly.C．Heating up while working.D．Operating in high temperatures. 53．What surprises John O’Neill most in the study according to paragraph 3？A．Brain injuries usually lead to high temperatures.B．High temperatures are the signs of brain damage.C．Healthy human brains can be infected with a fever.D．Human brains have higher temperatures than bodies.54．What is paragraph 5 mainly about？A．What result the research led to.B．How the research was conducted.C．How the research differed from the previous ones.D．What influence the research had on the volunteers.55．What may the researchers work on next according to the last paragraph？A．The drop of brain temperature at night.B．The rise of brain temperature at dawn.C．The relationship between temperature changes and brain health.D．The different causes of the daily variation in brain temperatures.五、七选五Einstein’s Opinions on Creative Thinking“The greatest scientists are artists as well,” said Albert Einstein, one of the greatest physicists and an amateur pianist and violinist.For Einstein, insight did not come from logic or mathematics. 56 “All great achievements of science must start from intuitive (直觉的) knowledge. Imagination is more important than knowledge.”57 Surprisingly, it wasn’t the content of an idea, or its subject, that determined whether something was art or science, but how the idea was expressed. If what is seen and experienced is described in the language of logic, then it is science. If it is communicated and recognized intuitively, then it is art. 58 That’s why he said that great scientists were also artists.59 “If I were not a physicist,” he once said, “I would probably be a musician. I often think in music and I see my life in terms of music. I get most joy in life out of music.”Music provided Einstein with a connection between time and space, which both combine spatial (空间的) and structural aspects. “The theory of relativity occurred to me by intuition and music is the driving force behind this intuition,” said Einstein. “My parents had me study the violin from the time I was six. 60 ”A．But how did art differ from science for Einstein?B．Instead, it came from intrusion (直觉) and inspiration.C．My new discovery is the result of musical insight.D．There is no doubt that my theory was a great breakthrough then.E．Einstein himself worked intuitively and expressed himself logically.F．Einstein also owed his scientific insight and intuition mainly to music.G．For Einstein, it was the humanities that mainly contributed to his achievements.六、完形填空The stage lights dimmed (变昏暗), and I took a quick look from behind the heavy blackFortunately, I made it.

Through the project, Jahkil looks to raise awareness for reducing homelessness in Chicago and beyond.Even at a very tender age, his deeds already drew the recognition of former U. S. President Barack Obama in 2017. Jahkil also pushes to motivate and influence fellow kids to get more active and useful in their communities. When he was five years old, Jahkil assisted his aunt in distributing food to the homeless in Chicago. Then the little boy was unhappy to find out that people could not afford a home. He was always eager to find out how he could offer help to people. And he would be mad for not being able to give money to anyone asking for help on the streets. He was determined to help the homeless in every way he could.That strong desire later gave birth to the Project I Am, his nonprofit organization, which focused on helping the homeless people. He founded it at the age of eight, and has since then never looked back on his journey of charity.Through Project I Am, Jahkil Jackson reaches out to the homeless by distributing “Blessingbags”. Provided in the blessing bags are diverse kinds of materials to help the needy, including wipes, hand sanitizers, toothbrushes, toothpaste, socks, bottled water, among other things.Jahkil Jackson is also one of the key workers in Dream for Kids, another nonprofit organization founded by Tom Tuohy, a social entrepreneur. Jahkil met with Tuohy at a Holiday for Hope event organized by the Dream for Kids.

In contrast to rushing past overcrowded tourist landmarks, the new trend has emerged as a popular alternative to explore bustling markets, ancient streets, and charming alleys at a leisurely pace.The appeal of Citywalk caters particularly to the younger generation often caught up in demanding work schedules. As evidenced by the increasing popularity of hash tags like “City walk for vacation” on lifestyle sharing platform Xiaohong shu, with a staggering 465 million views and nearly 464, 600 engagements, the trend is truly capturing unbelievable attention.Citywalk, or meandering through the urban landscapes, means the act of walking freely along city streets unburdened by exhaustive plans. It offers people an avenue to intimately experience urban culture and local traditions. Citywalk is not merely about sightseeing. It createsan opportunity for social interactions and deep connections with the cities. Citywalk routes are tailored to the specific interests of both out-of-town tourists and locals. For tourists, the focus is on sharing local customs and traditions, while for locals, discussions revolve around the city’s past, present, and future. The growing trend of Citywalk reflects a changing attitude towards life, embracing a warmer, more relaxed, and slower-paced lifestyle.As Citywalk expands beyond first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, to second-and third-tier cities across the county, it brings fresh opportunities for the tourism industry, in such areas as dining, shopping, and accommodation.Governments in Beijing and Shandong have recognized the potential of Citywalk, incorporating it into their action plans to promote cultural tourism and leisure activities. In Shanghai, public bus lines specially designed have been introduced to elevate the overall Citywalk for participants.“By slowing down and delving into the narrow alleys, observing the lives of city residents, and immersing oneself in the context of museums and art galleries, one is entitled to embrace the pleasure of life,” said Luo Jun, a cultural tourism enthusiast.23．What’s the main reason for the popularity of Citywalk among young people?A．It mainly focuses on urban sightseeing.B．Social media offer many tempting videos.C．Busywork schedule limits the choice of people.D．Conventional tourist landmarks are losing charm.24．What’s the meaning of underlined word “staggering” in the second paragraph?A．Astonishing.B．Rewarding.C．Embarrassing.D．Shrinking. 25．Which of the following statements is NOT Citywalk?A．An immersive route for foreigners to enjoy the alleys in Chengdu.B．A holiday travel to hurriedly visit crowded landmarks in Shanghai.C．A free walk including visiting museums and old towns in Qingdao.D．A leisurely tour along Qiantang River to experience city transformation.26．What have some governments done to promote Citywalk?A．Facilities in the museums have been enhanced.B．Cooperation has been strengthened among cities.C．Opportunities have been offered to third-tier cities.D．Specific public transportation routes have been introduced.Painting one blade of a wind turbine （涡轮机）black could cut bird strikes at wind farms, a study published in the journal Ecology and Evolution suggests.Birds crashing with the structures has long been considered as one of the main negative impacts of onshore wind energy development. In Norway, 6-9 white-tailed eagles are killed annually within the Smøla wind-power plant, which has caused opposition and conflict. The Smøla wind farm is located on the west coast of Norway, consisting of 68 turbines over 18 square kilometers, making it one of the largest onshore wind farms in Norway.Dr May, a senior researcher from the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research in Trondheim, said, “The expectation is that this design reduces so-called motion smear （运动视觉模糊）, making the blades more visible to birds.”Dr May said the concept of reducing the motion smear was based on laboratory experiments carried out in the US at the beginning of the century. The authors of the study observed that the annual death rate was significantly reduced at the turbines with a painted blade by over 70%, relative to the unpainted turbines.According to researchers, the findings were encouraging but further testing at different wind farms was needed in order to make the findings more persuasive. Dr May observed: “Although we found a significant drop in bird collision rates, its effect may well be site -and species-specific. What hasn’t been tested yet, is whether other blade patterns (e. g. red blade tips as used to warn flights) might be equally effective.Martin Harper, the RSPB’s director for conservation, welcomed the research. Meanwhile, a spokesman for manufacturer Siemens Gamesa said the issue was one for developers and operators of wind farms to consider, rather than producers. She said: “Our approach to wind farm development takes account of the local bird population right from the very start.”27．What is the intention of painting wind turbines?A．To avoid potential collisionsB．To beatify the surface of wind turbine.C．To collect more wind energy for turbine.D．To make wind turbine more visible for workers.28．What does the fourth paragraph imply?A．Painting blades was the top priority.B．The design promoted the motion smear.C．The practice of painting came into effect.D．Painted turbines performed better than unpainted.29．What is researchers’ attitude towards the findings?A．Doubtful.B．Cautious.C．Indifferent.D．Optimistic. 30．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Increasing the population of birds is the first mission.B．Painting the blades of turbines facilitates the production.C．Constructing a well-functioned farm appeals to more birds.D．Blacking wind turbines contributes to the decrease of birds’ crash.Cultural intelligence, or cultural quotient (CQ) is the ability to manage cultural diversity.31 It also involves understanding and appreciating cultural differences and being able to adapt to those differences.32 For one thing, it can help you avoid misunderstandings and communication breakdowns with people from other cultures. For another, it enables you to build strong relationships with them. Want to improve your CQ? Try the following tips.If you’re unfamiliar with the culture, chances are you’re not going to adapt well to it. So the first practical aspect of CQ you need to improve is your CQ drive. 33 This drive is the first step towards higher CQ that may help you be open to new possibilities. All you have to do is explore the new situation you find yourself in.After you’ve motivated yourself to get a bit more familiar with the culture, it’s time to go one step further. 34 Of course, this doesn’t mean you need to become an expert in the said culture. Simply, you should try to get to know the ways in which that culture forms and influences its people’s values and behavior.Lastly, you need to use what you have learned and come up with a strategy that will help you improve your CQ. You can expose yourself to various media. This is a useful and easilyaccessible way to learn about how culture affects behavior. Again, it helps if you learn the language of the culture. This may open a whole new world for you. 35A．You should broaden your CQ knowledge.B．There are many benefits of having high CQ.C．To be culturally intelligent is no easy matter.D．This means your motivation to learn about a different culture.E．Seek out opportunities to interact with people from other cultures.F．This ability is not limited to your cultural sensitivity and awareness.G．It can help you better understand people from other cultures as well.三、完形填空The doorbell rang one mid-December evening.

But y o ¥l t h also has negative associations - impulśiveness, trouble-maki ng, and irresponsibil(ty. This negative side seems to be what society focuses on more, which ìs why young people have mostlyb'een considered as idle and di cult.But when it comes to Generation Z — those born between 1996 and 2010 — this stereotype doesn’t seem to apply anymore.In Japan, for example, Gen Z-ers are less likely to huy on impulse, but take into consideration more a product's true value. “They’re looking at the companies, not just the products,” Masahiko Uotani, CEO of J apanese cosmetics company Shiseido, told Bloomberg.'‘They’re.asking,‘Are they really delivering value to the society7 Are they promoting diversity and inc1usion?'1’Gen Z-ers are also more groun4ed than we’ve expected them to be. According to a recent survey by Bank of America; more than half of young adults aged between 18 and 23 said they were planning to buy a house within five years.

Wanda Changbaishan International Ski Resort.D. Songhua Lake Ski Resort.I stare at the row of jars filled with my parents’ homemade tomato sauce. Every time I wonder: Should I really use one? I have been saving these jars like precious treasures. No matter how hard I try to find something instead, nothing compares. Store-bought sauces? It just doesn’t taste right. It doesn’t taste like home.During the tomato season all my family were a lot busier than usual. My parents would use the basement as an area for letting the tomatoes they had collected locally ripen. Like the other Italian families in the area, we would then take them to the garage when they were ripe enough. There they were cleaned and boiled. Once stewed, whole tomatoes were passed through my father’s homemade ma chine used to separate the sauce from the skins. Jars at the ready, we filled them with sauce and seasoning. They would then be lined up and ready to use.My parents would make more than just sauce every fall. I loved it when they would season all the pork sausage. We would fry the meat, tasting it before making the separate sausages. My parents expertly hand-tied the sausages while I would poke (戳) them all over. These were my family’s traditions.These traditions were hard to maintain when my father got ill. After being diagnosed with cancer in 2019, he spent most of his time in hospital. In September that year he came home, on the same weekend we decided to continue the tradition. I have glorious memories of that day as they once again made the sauce. It was a beautiful but short-lived moment. My father died soon after.Every time I go to reach for one of the jars, something stops me. My mother, ever practical, was visiting us recently and just stared at them. “You should use these or they will go to waste.”What will it feel like to use that last jar? It would mean the end of an era. Who knows? Maybe it’s time to bring new traditions to life.24．Why does the author value the jars containing the tomato sauce so much?A. They are precious and expensive.B. Store-bought sauces taste weird.C. It always reminds him of family.D. It took great patience to make it.25．What do paragraph 2-3 mainly talk about?A. Why the tomato seasons were much busier than usualB. How homemade and store-bought sauces differ from one anotherC. The valuable family traditions of making tomato saucesD. The happy time of getting together for homemade food26．What stops the author from reaching for the jars?A. His father’s unexpected death.B. The hope of bringing new traditions.C. His mother’s practical attitude.D. The concern of losing shared memories. 27．What is the purpose of writing the passage?A. To recall his family traditions of the past.B. To cherish his memory for his late father.C. To introduce his family and the secret recipe.D. To share his tough past experience at home.Plastic fishing nets, the so-called ghost nets, abandoned yearly in the sea—about 1 million tons—are more than just rubbish; they’re a killer. Fish, sea birds, and turtles get caught in the netting and die, with more species at risk.materials R&D manager at Samsung, and his team set themselves the task of giving new life to the deadly nets. Last month, Samsung revealed a new line of Galaxy products made in part from recycled plastic fishing nets for the first time. The company estimates this year alone it can recycle over 50 tons of ocean-bound plastic into the key components that will go into its smartphones, tablets, and computers, thus taking a bite out of the global ghost nets problem.It’s no small task to give waste fishing nets a second act. The nets are typically made of a substance called nylon which tends to dramatically degrade (降解) the longer it sits in the ocean and is exposed to the sun. “This makes it nearly impos sible to use abandoned fishingnets directly,” Rathore explains. Besides, high-performance smartphone, tablet, or PC has to be waterproof and can survive severe weather. The nylon in the fishing nets falls far short of that level of durability (耐用).To deal with that problem, Samsung last summer teamed up with two partners: one to collect and transform the nets into tiny nylon pellets (颗粒) while the other to strengthen their toughness and durability. The end result: The partners hit upon an eco-friendly and high-performance plastic material that’s being used to build the component parts for its latest line of products. For example, two parts of the Galaxy S22 mobile phone—the key bracket and the inner cover—are made of these fishing-net plastic materials. Samsung aims to use even more upcycled materials in future product lines.“That’s the hope for the globe and our mission,” Rathore smiles.A. Rubbish in the sea.B. Recycling the deadly nets.C. Ocean species’ extinction.D. Ghost nets’ threat to sea life.29．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The low level of durability of nylon.B. The second act of waste fishing nets.C. The great difficulty in reusing ghost nets.D. The positive comment on Samsung’s products.30．What is special about Samsung’s new Galaxy products?A. They are made from tiny nylon pellets.B. They put an end to the problem of fishing nets.C. They can stand up to water and severe weather.D. They contain materials recycled from ghost nets.31．What can we learn about Rathore’s work?A. It makes plastic easier to break down.B. It marks the shift of Samsung’s mission.C. It protects the planet from choking on plastic.D. It raises public awareness of ocean exploration.In the late 1960s, the anthropologist (人类学家) Edmund Carpenter arrived in New Guinea armed with mirrors, videos and Polaroid cameras, and a mission: to disrupt (扰乱) the minds of members of the Biami tribe, who had never seen full reflections or images of themselves. "After their first astonished response—covering their mouths and ducking theirheads—they stood frozen, staring at their images." Carpenter's devices disturb that inner image, causing discomfort. But not for long. Within days, the villagers groomed (打扮) themselves openly before mirrors and began taking Polaroid shots of each other.It's unclear if the People of Biami were really as unfamiliar with mirrors as Carpenter thought. But in any case, what's striking isn't how strange their reaction seems, but how related. Do you know how it feels when you make a pleasant remark in a lift, but nobody responds? Or when two people greeting each other misjudge whether to go for a handshake, a hug or a social kiss? That's the same awkwardness: "self-consciousness tinged (带有) with uncertainty", as Dahl defines it. Suddenly, I see I'm viewed not as a friendly conversationalist, but as a strange person who talks in the lift.As awkwardness feels unpleasant, it's natural to want to overcome it. Dahl's initial motivation for writing her book Cringeworthy: A Theory of Awkwardness, was to get over her own awkwardness. But after a journey through various awkward experiences, she makes a persuasive case for celebrating it. We live in an era with more opportunities than ever to do so. But awkwardness breaks that false appearance, exposing the imperfect life behind it. It creates a strange kind of social bond—how much in common we have when seeing that behind the disguise —we're all just trying our best to seem perfect.The awkward you, then, are the real you, the one without the defensive performance. Dahl even indicates that taking a friendlier attitude toward awkwardness might help us make the connections with people holding different ideas.32．How did the people of Biami feel when they first saw themselves in the mirror?A. Shocked at their reflections.B. Satisfied with their images.C. Curious about their look.D. Ashamed of their appearance.33．Which of the following awkwardness is "self-consciousness tinged with uncertainty"?A. You slip over just to the face of your girl in dream.B. You are caught cheating but get nothing in an exam.C. You are found standing in pubic with your trousers zip open.D. You’re refused when offering your seat to a seemingly pregnant woman.34．What causes you to feel embarrassed from time to time?A. Not knowing anything novel.B. Seeking perfection.C. Avoiding pressure from others.D. Lacking courage to face some problems. 35．What can be inferred to solve our awkwardness?A. Treat others in a friendly way.B. Connect with your friends regularly.C. Express yourself honestly with no defensive cover.D. Get ready to guard against any threat from others.三、七选五36．Moving into a new home in a new neighborhood is an exciting experience.

Your essay should be structuredwith an introduction, at least two body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Ensure to provide specific examples and arguments to support your ideas.Sample Essay:The Importance of Time Management in High SchoolIn the fast-paced and demanding environment of high school, where academic rigor meets the pressures of adolescence, the art of time management emerges as a crucial skill. It is not merely a matter of organization but a testament to one’s ability to prioritize, balance, and ultimately, excel. This essay delves into the paramount significance of time management in high school, emphasizing its impact on academic success, personal growth, and stress reduction.Firstly, effective time management is the cornerstone of academicachievement. High school curriculum is broad and deep, requiring students to master various subjects simultaneously. Without a strategic approach to scheduling study hours, assignments, and exam preparations, the task can seem overwhelming. By breaking down complex tasks into manageable chunks and allocating dedicated time slots, students can maintain a steady pace and avoid last-minute rushes. This not only ensures that work is completed on time but also enhances the quality of learning as focused attention leads to deeper understanding. For instance, a student who schedules regular revision sessions for challenging subjects like math or science will find themselves more confident and prepared during exams.Secondly, time management fosters personal development and self-discipline. High school is a crucial period of life where individuals begin to shape their identities and develop essential life skills. Learning to balance schoolwork with extracurricular activities, social interactions, andself-care requires a high level of self-awareness and discipline. By setting realistic goals, creating routines, and adhering to them, students cultivate resilience and a strong work ethic. This mindset carries far beyond the classroom, preparing them for the challenges and opportunities that await in college and beyond. For example, a student who actively manages their time to participate in sports or debate clubs alongside rigorous academics learns the value of commitment and teamwork, skills that are invaluable in any field.Lastly, effective time management significantly reduces stress and promotes mental wellbeing. High school can be stressful, especially with the looming pressure of college admissions and future career prospects. When time is not managed wisely, students often find themselves drowning in a sea of deadlines and unfinished tasks, leading to anxiety and burnout. By taking control of their schedules and ensuring sufficient rest and relaxation, students can maintain a healthy work-life balance. This not only improves their overall mood but also enhances their cognitive function, allowing them to perform better academically. Regular exercise, hobbies, and quality time with friends and family become feasible when time is well-managed, nurturing a sense of fulfillment and happiness.In conclusion, the importance of time management in high school cannot be overstated. It is a pivotal skill that underpins academic success, personal growth, and mental wellbeing. By mastering the art of time management, students empower themselves to navigate the complexities of high school life with grace and poise, setting a solid foundation for future endeavors. As they journey through these formative years, they will come to appreciate that time is indeed the most precious resource, and how they choose to spend it shapes who they become.。

Reading Comprehension: (40’)AScientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have reported evidence that Mars was warmer and wetter long ago than it is today. The Caltech scientists say they have directly established the temperature of Mars four billion years ago. At least, they established the surface temperature on part of the planet at that time. The researchers say it is the first such evidence to be discovered and presented.The Caltech scientists say carbonate（碳酸盐）minerals formed on Mars at about eighteen degrees Celsius. They reached the finding after studying a meteorite（陨石）that had its beginnings near the Martian surface.Today, the average temperature on Mars is sixty-three degrees below zero Celsius.The finding was reported on the website of the National Academy of Sciences. Caltech Assistant Professor W oody Fischer helped to prepare the report. He says eighteen degrees Celsius is not especially cold or hot. He says this makes the finding extremely interesting. Knowing the temperature can give scientists an idea of the climate on Mars long ago. It can also help them decide whether the planet had liquid water. Spacecraft orbiting Mars have shown what appear to be rivers, lakebeds and mineral deposits. These pictures suggest that, at one time, water did flow there. Mars Rover vehicles and other spacecraft have proved the information.Caltech Geology Professor John Eiler was another writer of the report. He says knowing the temperature of Mars from long ago provides valuable information. It shows that early in the planet's history, at least part of Mars could support a climate like that of Earth.The meteorite the scientists examined is one of the oldest known rocks in the world. It is called the Allan Hills meteorite. Its name came from the place in Antarctica where it was found in 1984. The meteorite is believed to have blown loose from the Mars' surface when another space rock struck its "home."16. The underlined word “establish” in Paragraph 1 probably means “___________”.A. to set upB. to make people accept a beliefC. to discover or proveD. to start having a relationship with others17. How did the scientists reach the finding?A. By studying Allan Hills meteorite.B. By using spacecraft orbiting Mars.C. By studying minerals gathered on Mars.D. By studying a meteorite on the Martian surface.18. According to the fourth paragraph, what have spacecraft orbiting Mars done?A. Measuring the temperature of Mars.B. Taking photos of the surface of Mars.C. Confirming that there is water flowing on Mars.D. Finding where human beings will probably land on Mars.19. How did Allan Hills meteorite get its name?A. From its original place on Mars.B. From where it was found on the earth.C. From the name of the scientist who found it.D. From the name of the aircraft that discovered it.20. Where can we most probably read this passage?A. In a biography of scientists.B. In a geography magazine.2C. In an environment report.D. In a science report.BGrowing up, I remember my father as a silent, serious man—not the sort of person around whom one could laugh. As a teenager arriving in America, knowing nothing, I wanted a father who could explain the human journey. In college, when friends called home for advice, I would sink into deep depression for what I did not have.Today, at twenty-seven, I have come to rediscover them in ways that my teenage mind would not allow — as adults and as friends with their own faults and weaknesses.One night after my move back home, I overheard my father on the telephone. There was some trouble. Later, Dad shared the problem with me. Apparently my legal training had earned me some privileges in his eyes. I talked through the problem with Dad, analyzing the purposes of the people involved and offering several negotiation strategies. He listened patiently before finally a dmitting, “I can’t think like that. I am a simple man.”Dad is a brilliant scientist who can deconstruct the building blocks of nature. Y et human nature is a mystery to him. That night I realized that he was simply not skilled at dealing with people, much less the trouble of a conflicted teenager. It’s not in his nature to understand human desires.And so, there it was—it was no one’s fault that my father held no interest in human lives while I placed great importance in them. W e are at times born more sensitive, wide-eyed, and dreamy than our parents and become more curious and idealistic than them. Dad perhaps never expected me for a child. And I, who knew Dad as an intelligent man, had never understood that his intelligence did not cover all of my feelings.It has saved me years of questioning and confusion. I now see my parents as people who have other relationships than just Father and Mother. I now overlook their many faults and weaknesses, which once annoyed me.I now know my parents as friends: people who ask me for advice; people who need my support and understanding. And I’ve come to see my past clearer.21. What was the author’s impression of her father when she was a teenager?A. Friendly but irresponsible.B. Intelligent but severe.C. Cold and aggressive.D. Caring and communicative.22 Why did the author feel depressed when her friends called home?A. She did not have a phone to call home.B. Her father did not care about her human journey.C. Her father was too busy to answer her phone.D. Her father couldn’t give her appropriate advice.23. After the author overheard her father on the telephone, _________ .A. he blamed her for impolitenessB. he rediscovered human natureC. he consulted with her about his problemD. he changed his attitude towards the author24. The author realized that _________ .A. her father had too many faults and weaknessesB. her father was not as intelligent as she had thoughtC. her father was not good at interpersonal relationships3D. her father placed too much importance in social activities25. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A. My Parents as Friends.B. My Parents as advisors.C. My father—a serious man.D. My father—an intelligent scientist.C“If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives — the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do — as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted electronically from Fleet S treet and printed out in our own home. In fact, I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. Y ou will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read — sports and international news, etc.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the print ed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.26. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Best Way to Get NewsB. The Changes of MediaC. Make Y our Own NewspaperD. The Future of Newspaper27. In the writer’s opinion, in the future, _______.4A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make newsB. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longerC. newspapers will cover more scientific researchD. more and more people will watch TV28. What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?A. Sports and international news.B. A menu of important news.C. The most important news.D. What you are interested in.29. From the passage, we can infer _______.A. newspapers will win the competition among the different mediaB. newspapers will stay with us together with other mediaC. television will take the place of newspaperD. the writer believe some media will die out30. The phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means _______.A. depend onB. compete withC. fight withD. kill offDJune 26, 2000 —the Human Genome(基因组) Project, a great $3 billion, 15-year task aimed at drawing the genetic map of humans, is now more than 90 percent completed. The scientific and medical communities are very excited about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging(延长) human life. But those communities and policy(政策) makers also are careful about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of life.For the last few years, the genetic advances in the developing field of biotechnology(生物技术) have provides material for all kinds of work, but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of the human genetic code have opened a world of possibilities for human health, as well as for the popular imagination.5While European and Japanese researchers are making rapid progress in decoding human DNA, the leading organization for genetic research is in the United States, which began in 1990, is “unlocking the code” of the human body to learn how to defeat fatal(致命的)diseases. Already, the Human Genome Project has become widely known and praised for finding the genes connected with terrible diseases as yet, and making progress toward separating the genes that show a sign of breast cancer or AIDS.Once these genes are found and studied, researchers can develop new ways to attack infections , and genetic diseases. Medical companies are very interested in mapping the human genome, as they expect to develop a lot of new drugs for these illnesses.31. Why did the scientists work hard at mapping the human genome?A. Because the human genome can destroy many illnesses.B. Because the human genome's completion can help them get rid of many diseases.C. Because they wanted to be better known than others.D. Because the human genome can provide a lot of chances of work.32. Which country studied the genes most rapidly in the world?A. Japan.B. Germany.C. The United States.D. China.33. Which of the following is NOT true?A. If the genes can be found, scientists can study many new ways to cure illnesses.B. The scientists have made great progress in connecting the genes with the cancers.C. Many medical companies show great interest in drawing the human genome map.D. The United States began the Genes Study early in the 19th century.34. The author suggests that the Human Genome Project can cause _______.A. the policy makers to feel very worried and carefulB. the scientists to work harderC. many people to find work easilyD. a lot of companies to produce many new drugs635. The main idea of this article is about _______.A. unlocking genetic codeB. the genes' discoveryC. the great human genomeD. the genes and the scientistsIII.
