21、Two scientists won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for developing a way of editing genes (基因), which offers the promise of one day curing inherited (遗传的)diseases. Working on opposite sides of the Atlantic, French woman Emmanuelle Charpentier and American Jennifer A. Doudna came up with a method known as CRISPR-Cas9 that can be used to change the DNA of animals and plants.

It was the first time two women had won the chemistry Nobel together—adding to the small number of female winners in the sciences, where women have long received less recognition for their work than men. The scientists’ work allows researchers to precisely edit specific genes to remove errors that lead to disease.

“There is great power in this genetic tool, which affects us all,” said Claes Gustafsson, chair of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry, “It has not only made huge progress in basic science, but also led to advances in new medical treatments.”

Charpentier, 53, spoke of the shock of winning. “Strangely enough I was told a number of times that I’d win, but when it happens you’re very surprised. And I wish that this will provide a positive message to young girls who would like to follow the path of science.”

Doudna told The Associated Press, “I actually just found out I’m in shock. And my greatest hope is that it’s used for good, to uncover new mysteries in biology and to benefit humankind.”

The Broad Institute at Harvard and MIT have been in a long court fight over patents (专利)on CRISPR technology, and many other scientists did important work on it, but Doudna and Charpentier have been most consistently (一致地)honored with prizes for turning it into an easily usable tool.

【1】What do we know about the two scientists from the first two paragraphs?

A．They both work in America.

B．They work harder than other females.

C．They provide a new way to edit genes.

D．They are the first women to win the Nobel Prize.

【2】What is Claes Gustafsson’s attitude towards the genetic tool?

A．Supportive.

B．Indifferent.

C．Dissatisfied.

D．Doubtful.

【3】What did Charpentier and Doudna think of their winning the prize?

A．They didn’t deserve the honor.

B．They thought it good for them.

C．They were both surprised at it.

D．They would be examples to young girls.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Two Nobel Prize winners surprise the world.

B．Female scientists do better than male scientists.

C．There is research for developing a way of editing genes.

D．Two scientists win the Nobel Prize for gene-editing discovery.

22、   Ready to give up long showers, water parks, and unlimited water gushing out of your taps? A new study says more than three-hundred-thirty-five-million people are faced with water shortage now. The oceans are full, of course. But the liquid—fresh, clean water for drinking and watering crops is in short supply in many parts of the world. Rivers are running low, lakes are shrinking, streams have stopped flowing, and groundwater is being pumped dry. However, the demand for water keeps increasing. So there comes unavoidably the water crisis!

What is causing the crisis? Experts say it is a complex combination of climate change and rapid population growth. On the one hand, global climate change threatens to reduce water supplies due to decreased rainfall. On the other hand, population growth is driving explosive demand for water, prompting rivers in thirsty countries to be tapped for nearly every drop and driving governments to pump out so-called fossil water.

Lack of water may result in several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking waters are not safe. Lack of water may also result in more international conflict. Countries may have to compete for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries. And lack of water would affect the ability of developing to improve their economies. This is because new industries often need a large amount of water when they are beginning.

One partial answer to the world water shortage, at least for countries near the sea, is to build more desalination plants that change seawater into fresh water. Another suggested solution is for water-rich countries, such as Canada, to sell water to countries which are poor in water.

【1】Why does the author say the water crisis is unavoidable?

A.Because the oceans are full B.Because the rivers are running low

C.Because demand for water keeps decreasing D.Because many countries are competing

【2】According to the text, __________ may cause the water crisis.

A.long showers and water parks B.climate change and population growth

C.health problems and international conflict D.economy development and population growth

【3】Water shortage may result in the following problems EXCEPT___________.

A.health problems B.international conflict

C.the inability to improve economies D.the illegal selling of water

【4】What is the author’s suggestion to solve the water shortage problem?

A.Change seawater into fresh water B.Buy water from rich countries

C.Develop new industries D.Plant more trees

23、   Besides walking the red carpet and living the glamorous life, these celebrities, including Angelina Jolie, Lauren Conrad, Prince William and Kate Middleton and Matt Damon, are working hard to make the world a better place. Read up on their charities!

Angelina Jolie

It's safe to bet that the mother of six has headlined more humanitarian efforts than her acting credits. “I came into this business young and only worried about my own experiences, my own pain. And it was only when I began to travel and look at life beyond my home that Icame up with an idea to start a worthwhile program,” she said when receiving the Humanitarian Award.

Lauren Conrad

After traveling to markets around the world, Lauren Conrad and her friend founded The Little Market, an organization that works with female artisans across the globe to “lessen poverty, empower communities, and create social justice”. “We have been traveling all over the world to find local female craftsmen in the communities and sell their handmade products through our online store,” Lauren wrote on her blog.

Prince William and Kate Middleton

Instead of asking their wedding guests to buy them fine china or stock their wine collection, the couple requested that donations be made to the Royal Wedding Charitable Gift Fund. According to the Palace, approximately $1.7 million was raised through their generosity.

Matt Damon

Matt Damon and Gary White co-founded non-profit Water.org, an organization pioneering solutions to provide people across the world with access to safe water and sanitation (卫生设备). “I hope to raise global consciousness about the importance of this challenge and the solutions,” says Damon. “I have four girls of my own and I want them to be proud of the impact I'm making in the world.”

24、Do you feel like an outsider, like you don’t belong anywhere or that you just don’t fit in? Here are some tips for you to deal with these feelings.

【1】 Often it’s really only your own mind and emotions that tell you that you don’t fit in. Actually, you may fit in fine. Feeling like you don’t belong isn’t always a bad thing either. Remember, it’s the people that are unique in this world that make the biggest impact. You don’t want to change yourself just to fit in with a certain group of people. 【2】 They end up wanting to gain approval from others and end up losing themselves in the process.

Let go of past anger. We’re so angry at people that we can’t relate to anyone or only expect the worst from others. Once I figured out how to let go of my past, I became much more comfortable being me. 【3】 Maybe because I didn’t care as much what they thought of me but more likely just because I think people are more affected by the “aura” you give off.

Focus on your wants and desires. Instead of focusing on the problem that you don’t feel like you fit in, try turning it around. What do you want to explore, what goals do you have, or what do you want to learn? 【4】 There are so many incredible and inspiring things in this world to explore. Focus on the positive and the beauty of the world rather than getting caught up in a negative situation.

The key to handling the situation of “I feel like an outsider” is really all in how you react to that feeling. 【5】 As those who have gone through the same feelings show, there can definitely be an advantage to being unique. You truly are special and there is no one else quite like you. You just need to be willing to share the real you with the world.

A．Don’t be so hard on yourself.

B．Appreciate what makes you so unique.

C．That’s where a number of people go wrong.

D．Ask yourself these questions and then go and do it.

E．I found it was easier to get along with other people.

F．You have so much more to offer by being true to yourself.

G．You can beat yourself up over it or you can become stronger for it.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。

When I was in middle school, my family moved to Seattle, where my parents started their new business — a small grocery store downstairs my house. As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the city life.

One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement filled the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.”

Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show?” She grinned (笑), “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can’t help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune.

“You two? The talent show for the food bank?” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “A big occasion.” Then a light bulb seemed to go in her head. “Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike.

Emma and I embarked on rehearsing (排练) almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform.
