The book consists of 23 chapters with thousands of stories made up of paragraphs, words and letters on different levels. There are one billion words in the book, which makes it longer than 5, 000 volumes the size of this book, or as long as 800 Bibles. If I read the genome out to you at the rate of one word per second for eight hours a day, it would take me a century. If I wrote out the human genome, one letter per millimeter, my text would be as long as the Danube River. This is an enormous document, a huge volume, a cook book of great length, and it all fits inside the extremely small nucleus (核) of a tiny cell that fits easily upon the head of a pin.The idea of the genome as a book is not, strictly speaking, even a metaphor(比喻). It is true to a great extent. A book is a piece of digital information, written in onedirectional form and defined by a code that translates a small alphabet of signs into a large dictionary of meanings through the order of their groupings. So is a genome. The only complication is that all English books read from left to right while some parts of the genome read from left to right, and some from right to left, though never both at the same time.While English books are written in words of different lengths using twentysix letters, genomes are written entirely in threeletter words, using only four letters. And instead of being written on flat pages, they are written on long chains of DNA molecules(分子). The genome is a very clever book, because in the right conditions it can both photocopy itself and read itself.本文主要介绍了基因的基本知识，把基因比作一本书，能让人容易理解基因这一复杂难懂的科学知识。21. How do human genomes read according to the passage?A. Only from left to right.B. Only from right to left.C. From both directions at the same time.D. From one direction at a time.答案：D细节理解题。从第二段最后一句话“The only complication is that all English books read from left to right while some parts of the genome read from left to right, and some from right to left, though never both at the same time.”可以看出，部分基因组是从左向右读的，部分是从右向左读的，虽然两者不同时发生。所以，基因组在某个时间内是向一个方向读的。22. We can learn from the passage that the human genome_.A. is as long as the Danube RiverB. can be easily placed on the head of a pinC. is coded with an alphabet of four lettersD. is smart enough to read and take photos of itself答案：C细节理解题。从最后一段第一句话“While English books are written in words of different lengths using twentysix letters, genomes are written entirely in threeletter words, using only four letters.”可知，人类的基因组以四个字母为代码。23. It can be concluded that the passage is mainly written for _.A. specialists in the fieldB. general readersC. natural scientistsD. readers with academic backgrounds答案：B推理判断题。这篇短文以书籍作比喻，深入浅出地介绍了有关人类基因组的知识，所以不是一篇专著，而是为普通读者写的。24. The real purpose of the authors comparison of the genome to a book is _. A. to focus on the differences between the two B. to lay emphasis on the similarities between the two C. to simplify the concept of the human genome D. to give an exact description of the human genome答案：C推理判断题。人们十分熟悉书籍，把人类的基因组比作书籍，可以使基因组这个复杂的概念变得十分简单。B2014重庆高考 The idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly. Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aidwe simply weigh too much, and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus, a lizard (蜥蜴) native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the waters surface with its feet. The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans to do this, wed need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate “hitting”But fortunately there is an alternative: cornflour. By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a “nonNewtonian” liquid that doesnt behave like normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles (粒子) in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick liquid of cornflour.Fun though all this may sound, its still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice. If you must do it, then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sinkand take a shower afterward!本文为说明文，题材为科普知识类。能在水上行走是人类一直以来感兴趣的话题，虽然有方法能实现这一想法，但所有这些都只是理论上的，并不切合实际。25. Walking on water hasnt become a reality mainly because humans_. A. are not interested in it B. have biological limitations C. have not invented proper tools D. are afraid to make an attempt答案：B细节理解题。根据第一段的Sadly, biological facts prevent us.可知是人类自身生理结构的限制阻止了我们在水上行走，所以答案为B项。26. What do we know about Basilicus basilicus from the passage? A. It is light enough to walk on water. B. Its huge feet enable it to stay above water. C. It can run across water at a certain speed. D. Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in water.答案：C细节理解题。根据第二段中的The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward.可知这种蜥蜴是通过保持一定的前进速度确保自己能在水上前行的，所以答案为C项。27. What is the function of the cornflour according to the passage? A. To create a thick liquid. B. To turn the water into solid. C. To help the liquid behave normally. D. To enable the water to move rapidly.答案：A细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句话中的the surface of an adequately thick liquid of cornflour可知，cornflour的作用就是创造出一种足够厚的液面让我们能够在上面行走，所以答案为A项。28. What is the authors attitude toward the idea of humans walking on water? A. It is risky but beneficial. B. It is interesting and worth trying. C. It is crazy and cannot become a reality. D. It is impractical though theoretically possible.答案：D观点态度题。根据最后一段的描述：这个听起来可能很有趣，但是要想付诸实践还是不太实际，所以答案为D项。CHow to Make the Most of Your TimeTime management is important in our daily life. There never seems to be enough hours in the day to accomplish all you need to do. Here are some tips that might be of some help to you.1. Set up a plan. Go through a week at a time, and prioritize the things you want to accomplish. Focus mostly on the things that are important to you.2. Control your stress. No matter what kind of pressure mounts on you, try to keep cool. Stressing out can lead to an early breakdown, which is definitely counterproductive when you have a list of things to do. Its easier to take a 10minute break and cool off than work all week with stress.3. Shut your door. When working under a schedule, perform your important tasks with your door shut to get them done. This will ensure the time of a higher quality to get what needs to be done.4. Focus on one thing at a time. Forget trying to multitask! You will lose concentration, and it will take you longer to accomplish what you set out to do.5. Just say “no”. If you are constantly interrupted, and you really dont have the time to help out, just say “no”. Youre only one person, and you can t save the world by yourself!6. Stop wasting time on the phone. While talking on the phone, keep your conversations short and to the point, and youll waste much less time.7. Be realistic. You can only do what you can do. Dont set out to accomplish the impossible. Do your best, but keep realistic expectations of yourself.8. Relax. The most important thing is to remember to take time to relax, and regroup. You need a break every now and then to keep working efficiently. Even if its a 10minute walk, get away from your list and get refreshed.As people today get busier and busier, its important for your own mental health to keep things on track. Dont delay; get your life in order now.时间都去哪了？人们常常感叹时间太有限、过得太快，还没干些什么，就已经花了不少时间。那么如何才能充分利用有限的时间做尽可能多的事情呢？读了这篇文章，你就会有所收获。29. What does the underlined word “prioritize” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Choose something by thinking carefully.B. Recognize the difference between things.C. Put many things in order of importance.D. Get rid of something that is unwanted.答案：C词义猜测题。根据第二段可知，我们每次应安排一周的工作计划，把自己想完成的事情按重要性排列出来，把注意力大部分集中在重要的事情上。prioritize意为”按重要性排列；划分优先顺序”。30. We should avoid stressing out because _.A. it may cause us to fail to work normallyB. it may limit the speed to get things doneC. we dont have energy to keep workingD. we are supposed to have a break while working答案：A细节理解题。文章第三段中的“Stressing out can lead to an early breakdown.”表明，压力过大可导致身体垮掉，使我们不能够正常地工作。31. Which statement would the author agree to?A. Try to multitask, and we can get more done.B. It is impolite to refuse to help others at work.C. Having breaks regularly may delay our tasks.D. It is wise to be aware of what we can achieve.答案：D推理判断题。根据文中第七点的内容可知，我们应该现实一点，尽力做好力所能及的事情，故D项切题。由第四点、第五点和第八点可知A、B、C三项是作者所不赞成的。32. By writing the text, the author would like to_.A. ask readers to share their time management skillsB. offer some advice on how to make full use of timeC. invite readers to discuss how to improve life qualityD. persuade readers to spend less time on daily routine答案：B意图推断题。根据文章的内容，特别是第一段和最后一段可判断，作者写这篇文章的目的是为读者提出如何高效利用时间的建议。DA private group of scientists has announced plans to make an exact copy of a human being. An American member of the team says he and the others will soon begin a serious effort to clone humans. Panos Zavos says the team hopes to manufacture the worlds first cloned baby within the next two years.In recent years, scientists have produced exact genetic copies of sheep and a few other animals. They created these clones from a single cell of an adult animal.Three years ago, another American doctor, Richard Seed, announced plans to clone a human being. However, there is no evidence that he has been successful.Doctor Zavos says the new international group plans to offer human cloning only to women who are currently not able to become pregnant or produce children. He says the aim is to assist people who want to have their own biological child.The technology would be similar to that used to clone animals. It would involve cleaning genetic material from a womans egg. Doctors then would place genetic material from the womans husband into the egg before putting it into the womans uterus(子宫)Doctor Zavos says his group plans to do the work in a country near the Mediterranean Sea. He did not name the country. He says an Italian reproductive expert, Sevorino Antinori, is leading the team. Doctor Antinori has led the efforts to help many older women become pregnant. He is known for establishing pregnancies in women as old as sixty.Many medical experts and other groups are opposed to the idea of cloning humans. Several countries ban or restrict work on human cloning. Several doctors criticize the announcement by Doctor Zavos. They say doctors do not know if cloning humans is possible or safe. They say it would be irresponsible to attempt to clone a human being. That is because the chances of success are too small and the risks are too great.文章主要讲述一些科学家宣布要利用克隆技术克隆胚胎。针对这一宣布人们发起热议，不同的人发表了不同看法。33. The underlined word “manufacture” in the first paragraph means “_”A. produce B. opposeC. attempt D. experiment答案：A词义猜测题。由第一段第一句A private group of scientists has announced plans to make an exact copy of a human being.和第二段第一句In recent years, scientists have produced exact genetic copies of sheep and a few other animals.可知manufacture与produce意思相同。34. According to the passage, _ has helped many older women become pregnant.A. Panos Zavos B. Richard SeedC. Sevorino Antinori D. an American scientist答案：C细节理解题。由第六段中的第三、四句He says an Italian reproductive expert, Sevorino Antinori, is leading the team. Doctor Antinori has led the efforts to help many older women become pregnant.可知C项正确。35. According to the passage, why does the new international group plan to clone a human being?A. To prove that human cloning is possible.B. To help women who are currently not able to produce children.C. They want to be the first to clone a human being.D. The reason isnt mentioned in the passage.答案：B细节理解题。根据第四段的两个句子可知答案为B。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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Robots are smart.
