Maybe you’re eating a sandwich or drinking fruit juice. Should you eat while reading?There aren’t many reliable numbers, but we do know the number of people who eat while sitting in front of some type of screen is growing. A recent study found that 33 percent of families always have the TV on during meal time and another 27 percent people have it on at least half the time. Another 10 percent may be texting, emailing or talking on a cell phone while eating.Any type of these behaviors is bad, considering the following evidence:A Canadian study found that children who watch more than three hours of television a day are 50 percent more likely to be fat than children who watch fewer than two hours. The researchers concluded that more than 60 percent of overweight incidents can be connected with watching too much TV.A three-week study found that adults who watch less TV burned 119 more calories(热量) per day.One Chicago researcher found that people eat more potato chips while watching TV than when they have the TV turned off.There has been very little investigation(调查研究) into eating with your eyes staring at a screen or reading a book, but it is likely that this mindless eating is connected with weight gain. Simply speaking, your brain has no idea what is going on with your mouth because it is occupied by other things. You don’t notice how full your stomach is, and you often don’t even notice the taste or the act of chewing and swallowing.So if you are fighting to lose weight, turn off your TV, switch off your computer screen and put your phone on vibration(振动). Just pay attention to what you are eating.51.The underlined word “reliable” in Paragraph 2 has the similar meaning to .A.believableB.suitableC.possibleD.enjoyable52.The author answers the question raised in the first paragraph with .A.stories and an explanationB.evidence and an argumentC.examples and an investigationD.facts and a description53.When you eat while reading, .A.you burn more calories.B.you feel hungry all the timeC.you don’t notice how much you have eatenD.you chew and swallow food faster54.Which of the following statement is TRUE?A.This text can be found on a website.B.Adults’ weight is not affected by their eating habits.C.There have been many investigations into eating while reading.D.Being focused while eating is a good way to lose weight.55.What can be the best title of the text? and EatingB.How Should You Lose Weight?C.Eating on the ComputerD.Should You Do Other Things While Eating?三、七选五(10 分)Color symbolismColor conveys meanings in two primary ways —natural association and cultural symbolism. It is not mind control. The truth is that we are comfortable when colors remind us of similar things.56.Natural associationsThe occurrence of color in nature is universal and timeless. 57. the source of these meanings can be obvious, such as those found in nature —red is the color of fire and blood, blue the color of cooling water and the sky, and the green the color of most plants, which can be considered universal and timeless associations.Cultural symbolism58. This symbolism arises from cultural and historical context. As such, it is not universal and may be unrelated to its natural associations. For example, green’s association with nature communicates growth, fruitfulness and freshness. 59. .Color can have both positive and negative symbolism. For example, although blue is the color of the sky on a sunny day, it can also symbolize sadness. Some American English reflects these traits in phrases such as, “singing the blues”. Red is another example: as the color of fire and blood, it is an energizing color. 60. .A.On the other hand, green can also symbolize good luck, sea-sickness and money, none ofwhich has anything to do with green plants.B.Successful design requires an awareness of how and why colors communicate meaning.C.Color can also have another level of meanings in our minds.D.Because color stereotypes are culture-dependent, they can be quite different in other areas ofthe world.E.For example, a soft shade of blue reminds us of the sky and gives us a psychological senseof calm.F.This is what psychologists tell us, and they have been seriously studying the meaning ofcolor preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings.G.In direct contrast, red is used for “STOP”signs throughout the world today, showingpossible danger.四、完形填空(1.5 分/题共30 分)Everybody knows that Edison is a famous scientist who 61 the electric light bulb. But maybe fewer people have 62 his being kind and forgiving towards others.

He went back to his work table and set to work once more to make _72 bulb.A few days later, a new bulb was finally ready. There it 73 on the table in front of its maker, fully 74 . Then Edison did a very big thing. With a smile, he handed the new bulb to Jimmy. “Be_75 this time,”he said. He was giving the young man another _76 . Jimmy did not break it, so we have millions of _77 in the world today.As a proverb says, “Not the power to _78 , but its very opposite, the power to forget, is a necessary condition for our existence.” Life is too short and no one is _79 . If we can forgive those who have _80 us, we will have a better life.61.A. discovered B.

郑州市2016年高中毕业年级第二次质量预测阅读理解AJumanji(勇敢者的游戏)is a story for children about a very strange game—a game that becomes far too real and frightening for the players. It was a story by Chris Van Allsburg, which was later filmed in 1996, starring the famous American actor Robin Williams.The story begins in 1869 in New Hampshire, America. Two young brothers bury a box under some trees. A hundred years later, in 1969, a boy, Alan Panisb, finds the box, and takes it home. He is unhappy that his father may want to send him to a boarding school. Alan’s friend, Sarah, arrives, and they open the box. Inside is a board game. At the start of the game, some words appear:” Do you want to leave the world behind and go back to the past? Then this is the game for you,” Suddenly Alan finds that he is disappearing into the game.The story has a deep meaning. Through his adventures Alan learns something important—if you face your fears, your problems will go away. Alan turns to face Van Pelt, the hunter who is trying to kill him. In doing so, he completes the game and returns to reality. Then he finds that his father is not going to send him to a boarding school after all.In Jumanji, time is flexible. The film director Spielberg’s “Back to the Future”films play with time in the same way. Top scientists even tell us now that time travel is theoretically possible!21. From the story we learn that Alan is a boy who .A. dislikes his study at schoolB. is afraid of his serious fatherC. was born a hundred years agoD. goes back to the past in the game22. Through the game Alan has realized that whenever he has difficulties he should .A. escape into the pastB. face them bravelyC. ask for his father’s adviceD. read the words on the box23. What does the author mean when he says time is flexible?A. One can travel in time.B. Science can change the limit of time.C. Time travel is impossible in space.D. Time is a common topic in film-making.BIt’s that time of year when people need to lock their cars. It’s not because there are a lot of criminals running around stealing cars. Rather, it’s because of good-hearted neighbors who want to share their harvest. Especially with this year’s large crop, leaving a car unlocked in my neighborhood is an invitation for someone to fill it with zucchini(西葫芦).My sister, Sharon, recently had a good year of tomatoes. She and her family had eaten and canned so many that they had begun to feel their skin turn slightly red. That’s when she decided it was time to share her blessings. She started calling everyone she knew. When that failed, she began asking everyone in the neighborhood, eventually finding a neighbor delighted to have the tomatoes. “Feel free to take whatever you want,” Sharon told her. Later that day, Sharon found that her garden had indeed been harvested. She felt happy that she could help someone and that the food didn’t go to waste.A few days later, Sharon answered the door. There was the neighbor, holding a hot loaf of bread. The neighbor smiled pleasantly,” I wanted to thank you for all of the tomatoes, and I have to admit that I took a few other things and hoped you wouldn’t mind.”Sharon couldn’t think of anything else in her garden that had been worth harvesting and said so,” Oh, but you did,” the neighbor said. “You had some of the prettiest zucchini I’ve ever seen.”Sharon was confused. They hadn’t even planted any zucchini. But her neighbor insisted that there really were bright-green zucchini in her garden. Sharon felt curiousand decided to go to see where the zucchini had grown. The two of them walked together into the backyard. When the neighbor pointed at the long green vegetables, Sharon smiled,” Well, actually, those are cucumbers(黄瓜)that we never harvested, because they got too big, soft and bitter for eating.”The neighbor looked at Sharon, shock written all over her face. She gulped(哽住)a few times, and then, smiling, held out the bread, part of a batch she had shared all over the neighborhood. “I brought you a nice loaf of cucumber bread. I hope you like it.”24.Why does the author warn people in the neighborhood to lock their cars?A. They might be stolen by thieves at night.B. They might be moved away by the police.C. Their neighbors might fill them with their harvest.D. Their neighbors might throw cucumbers into them.25. How did Sharon’s friends react to the invitation to take her tomatoes?A. They did not accept her kind offer.B. They were all delighted to have the tomatoes.C. They said they would go when they were free.D. They began to tell everyone they knew about it.26. What did the neighbor do in Sharon’s garden?A. She only harvested some tomatoes.B. She took some cucumbers mistakenly.C. She took something with Sharon’s help.D. She harvested a few zucchini by accident.27. We can infer that the neighbor’s bread would taste .A. soft and sweetB. hard and sourC. funny and bitterD. fragrant and deliciousCLand Art, sometimes referred to as Earth Art or Earthworks, is a form of art which involves using physical landscapes to create art, taking art out of the museum and into the outside world. Modern Land Art movement really got going in the 1960swhen American artists began creating Land Art on a large scale. Today, works of modern Land Art can be seen all over the world, sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago.Land Art, which is not necessarily unchangeable, can take a number of forms. For examples, in 1970 Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty(螺旋状防波堤), made of a collection of stones and mud, in the Great Salt Lake. The American artist made a large jetty in a spiral shape which sticks out into the waters of the lake.Reshaping the landscape is a common characteristic of Land Art, which can be created by moving parts around. People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art, like salt, which is added to the Spiral Jetty. It is possible to use plants. In all cases, Land Art is immovable.Land Art is designed to gradually form, change, and eventually decay(衰落). That’s one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums. Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days. Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they develop and decay over time, which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artists.28. What can be learned from the first paragraph?A. Land Art was the most popular art in the 1960s.B. Land Art aims to get people interested in nature.C. American artists were the first to create Land Art.D.

A team at the University of Chicago, Us has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors(肿瘤)developing. To be precise, they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species, including humans, only carry one copy.According to the research, the extra copies of the gene improved the animal’s sensitivity to DNA damage, which lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can go on to form deadly tumors.“An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals,”the study author Dr Vincent Lynch told The Guardian. If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous(癌变的), large creatures with a long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass.This phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named “Peto’s paradox(悖论)”. Biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller animals do not. In the elephant’s case, the making of TP53 is nature’s way of keeping this species alive.The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice, they had the same cancer resistance as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancers spreading or even developing in the first place.“Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,” said Joshua Schiffman, abiologist at the School of Medicine, University of Utah, Us. “It’s up to us to learn how different animals deal with the problem so that we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.”32. Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer?A. They have a rather large body size.B. Their genes suffer no DNA damage.C. Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors.D. They carry many genes to prevent tumors developing.33. According to the passage, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals?A. Deadly tumors.B. The huge body mass.C. Cells killing themselves.D. Sensitivity to DNA damage.34. What does the underlined part” This phenomenon” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?A. larger animals have protection from TP53.B. The risk of cancer is not related to body size.C. larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones.D. The huger animals are, the biggest risk of cancer they will have.35. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Depending on nature is surely enough to fight against cancer.B. The TP53 genes have proved useful in stopping cancer in people.C. Humans are expected to prevent cancer with the making of TP53.D. The extra copies of elephants’ genes are used to cure cancer patients.七选五Study Links Video Game Use to Problems in schoolA new study warns that too much time spent playing computer games could affect a child’s performance at school. 36 They show that too many hours spent playing games can reduce students’ chances of success in school.More than 600 teenagers between the ages of 14 and 16 took part in the research project. 37 It is said to be the first ever long-term study in Northern Ireland onthe influence of information technology on school test results.The study found that teenagers who played computer games less than once a week were more successful in school than those who played them twice a day or more. 41% of the students who used gaming devices two or more times a day received passing grades on school exams. 38The study found that social media use did not affect school performance.Caline McStravick is the director of the National Children’s Bureau Northern Ireland. She says the study showed no connection between social media and test results. “39 I think that’s more because social media is part of every child’s life. It’s the way they communicate. It’s the way they keep in touch with their friends.”Many parents say their children are becoming increasingly dependent on computer games. Some have compared gaming to a drug addiction. 40 It suggested that computer games can cause children to stay awake late at night. Less sleep makes children tired and unable to pay attention in school the next day.A. However, the study did not explore addiction.B. The new games are much different from older ones.C. It was clear that social media didn’t have any effect.D. It took place over a period of three years from 2013 to 2015.E. That compared with 77% of those who rarely played the games.F. Drug addiction does great harm to their health and performance at school.G. Britain’s National Children’s Bureau Northern Ireland reported the results of the study.完形填空I had just started my second year studying at Cambridge University when I was faced with the news I had never expected.

Most caves are formed 61 nature under the ground, but some have entrances people can find. That’s just what happened one day in 1940. Four boys were taking 62 walk in the woods near Montignac. As they walked along, one of them noticed an unusual rock. 63 they got closer, they found it wasn’t a rock but an opening in the ground. This opening led to a cave, so they decided to have a look around it. The walls of the cave were 64 (cover) with ancient art. The boys didn’t know it, but the cave was the find of the century!Over the years, many historians and artists came to study the art. They wanted to understand who painted the pictures and 65 they might mean. They soon realized some of the art indicated animals that were on Earth a long time ago. Many of the pictures also showed people 66 (follow) animals and trying to kill them for food. In the end, historians agreed that this was likely to be the art of a civilization that existed over 15,000 years ago.By 1950, over a thousand people from all over the world were visiting the cave every day. But by 1955, the paintings were beginning to become difficult 67 (see). Many people were passing through the cave, so the paintings were losing their color. 68 (sad), people can no longer visit the cave. However, another set of cave paintings has been created. These paintings look exactly the same 69 the Lascaux Cave Paintings. People 70 (make) the paintings so that everyone can still learn about this great ancient civilization.短文改错Have you ever been to Wuzhen? It is so beautiful a village that I had already visited it many times. Locating in Jiaxing, Zhejiang province, it has a history of about 6,000 years. Like many small towns in the southern area, which has a lot of small bridges going through clean streams. Local people live in old houses, they are very friendly. During the day, you can walk or sit on a boat to enjoying the natural scenery along the stream. The scene at night is attractively as well. There are all kinds ofround and square light. Every time I look at the pictures for which I took, I will remember the water, the bridges and the houses. I love an amazing water country!书面表达假设你校学生会定于4月10日组织一次高三学生的登山活动,请根据下面表格内容,以学生会的名义用英语写一则通知,欢迎同学们积极参加。

It’s the finest in the world, and if you bought a suit made of this material at many department stores, you would pay about two thousand dollars.M: Uh-huh…but isn’t that the point of coming to a market like this, to get a discount compared to the expensive department stores? Besides, I saw a suit just like this one a few stalls down, and they were selling it for $600. I still thought that was too expensive.W: It’s possible that the suit you saw was the same color as this one but made of a different material.Unfortunately, our prices are final, and we think they’re the lowest anywhere in the city.M: Could I try it on first?W: Of course, sir. The dressing room is down there to your left.M: Yes, I see it. Could I also take a tie to try on? I’m not actually looking to buy one, but I do want to see how the suit looks on me if I wear a tie.W: No problem. I’ll have my assist ant bring you a few ties that we give our customers for this exact purpose.M: Great. I’ll be back in a minute… So, how do I look?W: You look very handsome, sir. This suit is made for you!M: Thank you. I like it very much. It fits perfectly, and the style will never go out of fashion. The only thing is that I still think it is a bit too expensive. Couldn’t you lower the price by just a little?W: I’m not the owner of the shop, sir. Otherwise, I might be able to reduce the price.Text 10Good evening to yo u, and a good evening it is! In fact, it’s absolutely beautiful outside. Of course, it’s all due to the winds of March! Yes, if you were outside around 2:00 p.m., you were probably blown right off your feet. We had wind this afternoon that was blowing at 50 mph! You could see large umbrellas from food carts rolling down the sidewalks — a few of them blew right into traffic and caused a few accidents. Fortunately, though, the wind died down to a more reasonable 15 mph by 4:30 p.m.Now, the forecast for tonight is for the temperature to stay around 60 degrees Fahrenheit with a light breeze — just enough for a light sweater. It should be a clear night, great for all you astronomers and star gazers. Enjoy it while you can because the clouds will begin to roll in again tomorrow, and they will be staying for a while.Yes, for the next three days, you can expect clouds, the daytime temperature to drop to around 50, and a 90 percent chance of light rain on and off throughout the day. The temperature at night will be about 36-40 degrees, so you should expect some frost in the early mornings. Well, that’s all. Go out there and enjoy a lovely, warm, star-filled evening tonight. Tomorrow, take your raincoat and umbrella as you head out the door!参考答案听力:1—5 BCBAA 6—10 BCBCC 11—15 BABBA 16—20 BBABB 阅读理解:21—25 DCADB 26—30 CBBCA 31—35 DDBAC 36—40 DGBEF 完形填空:41—45 BCABD 46—50 DABCD 51—55 CBAAD 56—60 ADBCC 语法填空:61. fifth 62. got 63. an 64. smiling 65. what66. like 67. which 68. wonderfully 69. returning 70. languages短文改错:Dear Bob ,How are things going?

AJumanji(勇敢者的游戏)is a story for children about a very strange game—a game that becomes far too real and frightening for the players. It was a story by Chris Van Allsburg, which was later filmed in 1996, starring the famous American actor Robin Williams.The story begins in 1869 in New Hampshire, America. Two young brothers bury a box under some trees. A hundred years later, in 1969, a boy, Alan Panish, finds the box and takes it home. He is unhappy that his father may want to send him to a boarding school. Alan’s friend, Sarah, arrives, and they open the box. Inside is a board game. At the start of tile game, some words appear “Do you want to leave the wor ld behind and go back to the past? Then this is the game for you.” Suddenly Alan finds that he is disappearing into the game.The story has a deep meaning. Through his adventures Alan learns something important—if you face your fears, your problems will go away. Alan turns to face Van Pelt, the hunter who is trying to kill him. In doing so, he completes the game and returns to reality. Then he finds that his father is not going to send him to a boarding school after all.In Jumanji, time is flexible. Th e film director Stephen Spielberg’s “Back to the Future” films play with time in the same way. Top scientists even tell us now that time travel is theoretically possible !21. From the story we learn that Alan is a boy who ________.A. dislikes his study at schoolB. is afraid of his serious fatherC. was born a hundred years agoD. goes back to the past in the game22. Through the game Alan has realized that whenever he has difficulties he should _______.A. escape into the pastB. face them bravelyC. ask for his father’s adviceD. read the words on the box23. What does the author mean when he says time is flexible?A. One can travel in time.B. Science can change the limit of time.C. Time travel is impossible in space.D. Time is a common topic in film-making.BIt’s that time of year when people need to lock their cars. It’s not because there are a lot of criminals running around stealing cars. Rather, it’s because of good-hearted neighbors who want to share their harvest. Especially with this year’s large crop, leaving a car unlocked in my neighborhood is an invitation for someone to fill it with zucchini(西葫芦).My sister, Sharon, recently had a good year for tomatoes. She and her family had eaten and canned so many that they had begun to feel their skin turn slightly red. That’s when she decided it was time to share her blessings. She started calling everyone she knew. When that failed, she began asking everyone in the neighborhood, eventually finding a neighbor delighted to have the tomatoes. “Feel free to take whatever you want,” Sharon told her. Later that day, Sharon found that her garden had indeed been harvested. She felt happy that she could help someone and that the food didn’t go to waste.A few days later, Sharon answered the door. There was the neighbor, holding a hot loaf of bread. The neighbor smiled pleasantly, “I wanted to thank you for all of the tomatoes, and I have to admit that I took a few ot her things and hoped you wouldn’t mind.”Sharon couldn’t think of anything else in her garden that had been worth harvesting and said so. “Oh, but you did,” the neighbor said. “You had some of the prettiest zucchini I’ve ever seen.”Sharon was conf used. They hadn’t even planted any zucchini. But her neighbor insisted that there really were bright-green zucchini in her garden. Sharon felt curious and decided to go to see where thezucchini had grown. The two of them walked together into the backyard. When the neighbor pointed at the long green vegetables, Sharon smiled. “Well, actually, those are cucumbers(黄瓜)that we never harvested, because they got too big, soft and bitter for eating.”The neighbor looked at Sharon, shock written all over her face. She gulped(哽住)a few times, and then, smiling, held out the bread, part of a batch she had shared all ove r the neighborhood. “I brought you a nice loaf of cucumber bread. I hope you like it.”24. Why does the author ware people in the neighborhood to lock their cars?A. They might be stolen by thieves at night.B. They might be moved away by the police.C. Their neighbors might fill them with their harvest.D. Their neighbors might throw cucumbers into them.25. How did Sharon’s friends react to the invitation to take her tomatoes?A. They did not accept her kind offer.B. They were all delighted to have the tomatoes.C. They said they would go when they were free.D. They began to tell everyone they knew about it.26. What did the neighbor do in Sharon’s garden?A. She only harvested some tomatoes.B. She took some cucumbers mistakenly.C. She took something with Sharon’s help.D. She harvested a few zucchini by accident.27. We can infer that the neighbor’s bread would taste ________.A. soft and sweetB. hard and sourC. funny and bitterD. fragrant and deliciousCLand Art, sometimes referred to as Earth Art orEarthworks, is a form of art which involves using physicallandscapes to create art, taking art out of the museum andinto the outside world. Modern Land Art movement reallygot going in the 1960s, when American artists begancreating Land Art on a large scale. Today, works of modernLand Art can be seen all over the world, sometimes rightalongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago.Land Art, which is not necessarily unchangeable, can take a number of forms. For example, in 1970 Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty (螺旋状防波堤), made of a collection of stones and mud, in the Great Salt Lake. The American artist made a large jetty in a spiral shape which sticks out into the waters of the lake.Reshaping the landscape is a common characteristic of Land Art, which can be created by moving parts around. People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art, like salt, which is added to the Spiral Jetty. It is possible to use plants. In all cases, Land Art is immovable.Land Art is designed to gradually form, change, and eventually decay(衰落). That’s one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums. Some works of art can exist onlyfor a few hours or days. Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they develop and decay over time, which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artists.28. What can be learned from the first paragraph?A. Land Art was the most popular art in the 1960s.B. Land Art aims to get people interested in nature.C. American artists were the first to create Land Art.D. People have been creating Land Art for thousands of years.29. What do we know about Robert Smithson?A. He is a great creative artist.B. He lives near the Great Salt Lake.C. He made the most famous Land Art.D. He was a pioneer in creating Land Art.30. One of the unique characteristics of Land Art lies in ________.A. it shows the extreme beauty of natureB. it develops and decays gradually over timeC. it combines the landscapes around completelyD. it offers the artists a chance to get close to nature31. What is the passage mainly about?A. Works of Land Art.B. History of Land Art.C. Changes of Land Art.D. Introduction of Land Art.DPeople have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer even though they have lifespans(寿命)that are similar to humans, living for around 50 to 70 years.Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago, US has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors(肿瘤)developing. To be precise, they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species, including humans, only carry one copy.According to the research, the extra copies of the gene i mproved the animal’s sensitivity to DNA damage, which lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can go on to form deadly tumors.“An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals ,” the study author Dr Vincent Lynch told The Guardian. If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous(癌变的), large creatures with a long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass.This phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named “Peto’s paradox(悖论)”. Biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller animals do not. In the elephant’s case, the making of TP53 is nature’s way of k eeping this species alive.The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice, they had the same cancer resistance as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancers spreading or even developing in the first place.“Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,” said Joshua Schiffman, a biologist at the School of Medicine, University of Utah, US. “It’s up to us to learn how different animals deal with theproblem so that we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.”32. Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer?A. They have a rather large body size.B. Their genes suffer no DNA damage.C. Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors.D. They carry many genes to prevent tumors developing.33. According to the passage, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals?A. Deadly tumors.B. The huge body mass.C. Cells killing themselves.D. Sensitivity to DNA damage.34. What does the underlined part “This phenomenon” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?A. Larger animals have protection from TP53.B. The risk of cancer is not related to body size.C. Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones.D. The larger animals are, the bigger risk of cancer they will have.35. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Depending on nature is surely enough to fight against cancer.B. The TP53 genes have proved useful in stopping cancer in people.C. Humans are expected to prevent cancer with the making of TP53.D. The extra copies of elephants’ genes are used to cure cancer patients.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
