and cats are pletely colorblind and can only see things as black and white ones In fact， scientists also believed this for many yearsBut how could they know？ Its not like you can give a dog or a cat a vision test and ask them to tell you what colors they see，right？Scientists actually use plicated tests involving food and colored panels(金属板) to test whether animals can sense different colorsFor example，if a dog could tell the difference between colors enough to choose a lightcolored panel，it would receive a treatThese tests showed scientists that dogs and cats can indeed see colorsjust not all the same colors that humans can seeScientists now believe that dogs and cats can see blue and greenThis means that a dog，for example，could tell the difference between blue and yellow but not red and greenSo，if you see a dog run a red light，its not his fault！ He might have thought it was green！Like dogs and cats，humans can also have colorblindnessalso called color vision deficiencyThis doesnt necessarily mean that colorblind people can only see things as black and white onesIt usually means that they cant see certain colors and therefore have a hard time telling the difference between those colorsBeing colorblind can make it difficult to match your clothes，but its rarely a serious problemMost colorblind people can do everything they want to doSometimes they just have to e up with special adaptationsFor example，people who cant tell the difference between red and green can still drive，because they know the red light is usually on the top and that the green light is usually on the bottom文章大意：很长时间以来人们都认为，狗和猫是彻底的色盲。然而测试表明，它们也能分辨出一些颜色。和它们一样，人类也有色盲的问题。24For a long time，the scientists agree that dogs and cats_Aare different from each otherBcan tell all kinds of colorsCcant tell the difference in colorDonly see white and black things答案：C细节理解题。根据第一段前两句可知，科学家们和许多人一样，认为在狗和猫的眼中所有东西都是黑白色的，它们分辨不出其他颜色。25The scientists carry out some tests in order to find out_Awhen the animals are more cleverBwhy the animals choose a colored panelChow the animals get along with each otherDwhether the animals can tell the different colors答案：D推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句及第二段中科学家们所做的实验可推知，他们的目的是弄清楚动物是否能够分辨出其他颜色。26In what way are humans the same as the animals according to the text？AThey all can be colorblindBBlack and white colors are easy to judgeCThey can only tell blue from green clearlyDSome of them have no concept of colors at all答案：A细节理解题。根据第四段第一句中的Like dogs and cats，humans can also have colorblindness可知，与狗和猫一样，人类同样也有色盲的问题。也就是说，在这方面人类和动物是相同的。27How do people who are colorblind drive across the street？ABy seeing the color of the lightBBy getting the help of the policemenCBy judging the position of the lightDBy reading the traffic rules答案：C细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，患有色盲症的人是根据交通灯的位置判断是否可以通行的。CThe United States government wants to know what the public thinks about its findings on the safety of cloned animalsThe Food and Drug Administration says meat and milk from clones of adult cattle，pigs and goats are safe to eatAn FDAofficial called them “as safe to eat as the food we eat every day”And when those clones reproduce sexually (有性繁殖)，the agency says，their offsprings (后代) are safe to eat as wellBut research on cloned sheep is limitedSo the FDAproposes that sheep clones can not be used for humans foodThe United States this year could bee the first country to approve the sale of food from cloned animalsFirst，however，the public will have ninety days to ment on three proposed documentsOn December 28th the FDAreleased a long report，called a draft risk assessment，along with two policy documentsThe agency says it must receive ments by April 2ndThe FDAseemed ready to act several years ago，but an advisory mittee called for more researchFor now，the government will continue to ask producers to honor a request that they will not sell food from cloned animalsClones are still rareThey cost a lot and are difficult to produceThe FDAsays most food from cloning is expected not to e from clones themselves，but from their sexually reproduced offspringsIt says clones are expected to be used mostly as breeding animals to spread good qualitiesPublic opinion studies show most Americans do not like the idea of food from cloned animalsBut this research also shows the public knows little about cloningCloning differs from genetic engineeringA cell taken from a socalled donor animal is grown into an embryo(胚胎) in the laboratoryNext，the embryo is placed into the uterus(子宫) of a female animalIf the process is successful and the pregnancy reaches full term，a genetic copy of the donor animal will be born文章大意：本文讲述了美国食品及药物管理局想要通过调查来了解人们对于以克隆动物作为食物的安全性的态度。此外，文章对克隆的过程进行了简要介绍，以期区分克隆技术与基因工程。28From the passage we know that_Afood from cloned animals is popular in AmericaBcloned adult animals are safe to eat except sheepCcloned animals will be easy to produceDmost food from cloning is expected to take place of other food答案：B细节理解题。从文中第二段可知，除克隆绵羊外，其他克隆动物吃起来是安全的。29The main purpose of the text is to_Atell an interesting storyBgive some advice on foodCgive a reportDpare different opinions答案：C主旨大意题。本文是关于克隆食物的安全问题的报道。30Who believes that most food from cloning is safe to eat？AMost AmericansBAn advisory mitteeCCriticsDThe FDA答案：D细节理解题。由第二段第一句The Food and Drug Administrationare safe to eat可知答案。31Where will the embryo stay before a cloned animal is born？AIn the uterus of the donor animalBIn the laboratoryCIn the uterus of a female animalDIn the cell of the donor animal答案：C细节理解题。根据最后一段中the embryo is placed into the uterus of a female animal可确定答案。DOur entire modern world is constructed to keep you sitting downWhen we drive，we sitWhen we work at an office，we sitWhen we watch TV，well，you get the pictureAnd yet，a new study thats running in the Annals of Internal Medicine has found that this kind of sedentary behavior increases our chances of getting a disease or a condition that will kill us prematurely，even if we exerciseResearchers from Toronto came to this conclusion after analyzing 47 studies of sedentary behaviorThey adjusted their data to include the amount someone exercises and found that the sitting we typically do in a day still outweighs the benefit we get from exerciseThe studies showed sedentary behavior can lead to death from cardiovascular issues and cancer as well as cause chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetesPhysical inactivity has been identified as the fourth leading risk factor for death for people all around the world，according to the World Health OrganizationProlonged sitting，meaning sitting for 8 to 12 hours or more a day，increases your risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 90%So what can you do to reduce the time you spend on an activity that is not good for you？The study authors did make some simple suggestions to help you sit lessOne is to just be aware of how much you are sittingThat way you can make a goal of reducing that number a little bit each weekIf you are at work，you could try a standing desk or make it a goal to stand up or walk around for a minute or three once every half an hourIf you watch TV at night，walk around or at least stand up during the show break or the mercials文章大意：如今整个现代世界就是让你坐下来。当我们开车时，我们坐着。当我们在办公室工作时，我们坐着。当我们看电视时，好吧，你可以想象，也是这样的画面。然而，在内科医学年鉴上发表的一项新的研究显示，这种久坐行为会增加我们患病的概率，从而使人们过早丧失生命，即使锻炼也于事无补。32We can learn from the passage that_Aphysical inactivity is the first leading risk cause for deathBsitting less than 12 hours has no bad effect on healthCsensing how much time we are sitting helps us sit lessDexercising more can decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes by 10%答案：C细节理解题。根据文中第八段提到“to help you sit lessOne is to just be aware of how much you are sitting”可知意识到自己坐了多长时间有助于我们减少坐着的时间，C项所述符合语境。误解分析：根据文中第五段提到的“Physical inactivity has been identified as the fourth leading risk factor for death”可以得知A项错误；根据第六段的内容可以得知B项所述错误，D项文中没有提到。33From the third paragraph we can infer that_AToronto researchers analyzed 4 studies of long sittingBthere is not any benefit from exercise if you sit more every dayClong sitting will have no bad effect if we exerciseDthe more we exercise，the less the impact of sitting long is答案：D推理判断题。第三段末句提到“the sitting we typically do in a day still outweighs the benefit we get from exercise”，由此可知虽然久坐的危害大于锻炼带来的益处，但锻炼依然还是有效果的，故可以推知D项所述“锻炼得越多，久坐的影响就越少”符合语境。34Whats the best title for the passage？AFollow the Suggestions to Decrease Health RisksBSitting Long Will Kill You Even If You ExerciseCExercise More to Reduce Health RisksDDo Something to Improve Our Health答案：B主旨大意题。本文主要论述了一天当中久坐超过8小时以上会对身体造成致命的伤害，其危害大于锻炼所带来的好处，B项所述符合原文主旨。35The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means“_”Aearlier than usualBlater than expectedCmore than usualDfarther than expected答案：A词义猜测题。此处表示久坐不动使我们提前结束生命，prematurely表示“过早地，提前地”，故选择A项。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。Always CareDuring the course of a lifetime，we all make mistakesAnd，often we take for granted what we have thinking that either we deserve what we already have，or believing that we will never need anyone to help us out from under difficult and challenging
