Tia Wimbush and Susan Elis have been co-workers for a decade, and while they didn't know each other well, they had something in common, both dealing with the same medical stress at home. Their husbands each needed a kidney transplant(肾脏移植). They were willing to donate one of theirs, but previous tests showed theirs weren't apposite to their respective husbands.
When they knew each other's condition and met in the washroom, the women paused for a moment and had a short conversation. Then they had tests again. Tests showed that each woman was an excellent match for the other's husband. And seven months after that chance conversation, Tia donated one of her kidneys to Susan's husband Lance Ellis, and Susan donated one of hers to Tia's husband Rodney Wimbush.
“It is extremely rare for two people to suggest exchanging their own paired organ and actually be a match for each other. I've personally never seen this happen,” Christina Klein, a medical director of Piedmont Atlanta Hospital’s kidney transplant program, says. “When we put patients' information into large databases for national paired kidney exchange programs, some patients wait months or even years for a match.”
The couples met a few days before the surgeries when they came to the hospital for the final round of testing. Before that, they had chatted on social media a bit. The surgeries lasted about three to four hours each and were beyond their expectations, with no one developing complications. “It's really just a story about simple kindness,” Susan says, “For us, it started with two people just being good humans. Now we'd like to tell people they can do the same. ”
Rodney says he will be forever grateful to his wife and Susan. “Susan and Lance are going to come with us to North Carolina for our son's first college football game,” his wife adds, “We've skipped the friendship. We're family now.”
4、What does the underlined word "apposite” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Sensitive. B. Relevant. C. Suited. D. Comparable.
5、How does Christina Klein find Tia and Susan's story?
A. It is touching. B. It is inspiring.
C. It is worrying. D. It is surprising.
6、What is the change in the two families after the transplant operations?
A. They bond with each other closely. B. They become interested in football.
C. They interact more regularly online. D. They are motivated to do good deeds.
7、Which can be the best title of the text?
A. A Different Family B. An Unimaginable Match
C. A Funny Coincidence D. An Unforgettable Kindness
Mosquitoes can spread a range of potentially life-threatening diseases. Existing methods of controlling the insect can be inefficient. For example, mosquitoes can develop a resistance to insecticides(杀虫剂).
Now, Kevin Gorman at the biotechnology firm Oxitec in Abingdon, UK, and his colleagues have genetically modified(基因改造) males of the mosquito species Aedes aegypti in a way that will greatly cut the insect's population. Among all mosquito species, only females bite. So the team modified males to create so-called OX5034 mosquitoes. They have a gene that allows young male mosquitoes to live, but prevents the females from surviving into adulthood.
In the peak season for reproducing, OX5034 males were released into four heavily populated places in the city of Indaiatuba in Brazil. Within two of these neighborhoods, 100 modified mosquitoes were released at a time, while the remaining test areas were exposed to up to 500 of the insects at a time. Compared with a nearby community that wasn't exposed to any of these mosquitoes, the places where the modified insects were released saw an 88 percent to 96 percent decline in their mosquito population.
The researchers particularly focus on controlling dengue—a disease caused by a virus carried by mosquitoes. Globally, the number of dengue cases has grown significantly in the past three decades, with 100 million to 400 million cases now occurring annually. While the study didn't look at whether suppressing(抑制) the mosquitoes led to a lower rate of dengue, there was evidence of this elsewhere. Similar efforts in Australia saw fewer cases of locally spread dengue compared with previous years. A study also found a 77 percent reduction of dengue in Indonesia after modified mosquitoes were introduced there.
According to Dawn Wesson at the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, Louisiana, Oxitec's effort is a step up from previous insect control strategies in which mosquito sexual selection wasn't done by genetic means. That's the beauty of this method. As well as dengue, Oxitec is making plans for developing modified mosquitoes to reduce other diseases like malaria, says Nathan Rose at Oxitec.
8、How does Kevin Gorman's team try to control mosquitoes?
A. By decreasing the males’ population.
B. By transforming all mosquitoes’ genes.
C. By shortening the females’ life.
D. By improving the insecticides’ effect.
9、Which aspect of the research is mainly discussed in paragraph 3?
A. The target and site. B. The process and findings.
C. The data and report. D. The preparations and methods.
10、Why are Australia and Indonesia mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To state the potential use of the method.
B. To explain the background of the study.
C. To draw attention to the severity of dengue.
D. To show the method's effect on reducing dengue.
11、What may Oxitec work on next?
A. Widening the applications of the method.
B. Engineering other species of mosquitoes.
C. Exploring better mosquito control strategies.
D. Finding cures for mosquito-related diseases.
Do milestones aid growth and quality of life? Or do they construct barriers? This is what I often struggle with, especially when constructing a vision of my life in the future.
On the one hand, milestones can be a really helpful tool for igniting(激起) motivation and a sense of purpose. Particularly in times of depression, I can find myself examining life and how I would like it to look I set myself goals and targets in the hopes of reaching the lifestyle I want to create for myself. However, I usually end up setting unrealistic targets. I get frustrated when my life takes a different course of action, and my milestones are missed, adapted or just changed.
We need to remember that convenience is not comprehensive. Life will sometimes not go the way you want it to. There is no straight pathway. Both people and our lives are completely unique, and are in constant evolution—so why put so much pressure on ourselves to reach targets by a certain point?
Society consistently sets unrealistic standards upon us all. As such, we feel we should therefore conform to(遵从) the general standard presented to us, without considering what is right for ourselves as individuals. The pressure to act and look a certain way based on your age is unhealthy and exhausting, particularly when society chooses not to see each individual as just that—an individual.
So, do milestones help or slow growth?
As far as I am concerned, the answer is both yes and no. Milestones help bring a sense of calm to the disorder of somebody's life, but they also have the potential to create confusion and frustration when life takes you on a different path, forcing you to miss determined targets for new unexpected ones.
Life is ultimately personal and full of many individual choices that both open and close varying pathways—the choice of how to move forward in life is yours. The key needed, however, is knowing yourself well enough to evaluate and decide which milestones are needed and when.
12、What is the author's purpose in mentioning his own goal-setting experience?
A. To explain the advantages of milestones.
B. To introduce effective ways to set goals.
C. To highlight the necessity of setting goals.
D. To show milestones are a double-edged sword.
13、Why can social standards have a negative effect on us?
A. They ignore that each of us is unique.
B. They fail to guide us to do the right things.
C. They are too general for us to follow.
D. They constantly change and thus exhaust us.
14、Why can milestones slow growth according to the author?
A. They can take us on a wrong path.
B. They can disturb our pace of life.
C. They can discourage us when we miss goals.
D. They can force us to change our targets constantly.
15、What is the authors suggestion on making a decision on milestones?
A. Stick to our decisions. B. Examine ourselves well.
C. Stay positive and calm. D. Be prepared for the unexpected.

34、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My husband and I enjoy seeing life through the eyes of our children. It's amazing to watch as they discover their world.
While we were outdoors last summer enjoying the sunshine, our oldest daughter, Kaytlin, called me to the doorway. Beneath the steps was a baby red squirrel.
We watched it from a distance, not wanting to disturb it or scare off its mother. But after a long wait - and looking all around our house for signs of a nest or a mother—we realized the tiny squirrel was lost.
Shaking terribly, he was weak, thin, and hungry. We tried to find an expert to help, but the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website showed that there were no wildlife experts in our area. After some quick research, we concluded that the best way to give the squirrel a fighting chance was to care for him ourselves. So a trip to the local store for milk and supplies was in order.
More research taught us how much to feed him, how to estimate his age, how and when to wean (断奶) him, and that we should let him go as soon as he could survive on his own.
Our daughters and I took turns in feeding “Squirt.” Kaytlin took on the most responsibility. She taught him to eat from a bottle, and she woke in the night for his feeds.
To our relief, Squirt soon became healthy and strong. Within a few weeks he became more active. He would chatter(吱吱叫) for his next meal, playfully go around the girls, and lie down on them for sleep. It wasn’t long before he was weaned onto solid food and reintroduced to the wild.
His first few visits to the great outdoors were funny. Just like a child, he would play in the grass some and then run back to Kaolin for safety. Soon she had him climbing trees and finding nest material.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One day in the trees, Squirt met up with a family of gray squirrels.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One night, Squirt didn’t come back to our house and it rained hard.

参考答案
1、答案：C
解析：根据第一段第二句Schools were evaluated based on their research performance and their ratings by members of the academic community around the world and within Europe.可知，对学校的评估是基于每所大学的研究成果和世界各地及欧洲学术界成员的评分。故选C项。
2、答案：D
解析：根据每所大学简介中ENROLLMENT(入学人数）部分提供的数据可知，伦敦大学学院招收了最多学生。故选D项。
3、答案：B
解析：根据每所大学简介中出现的READMORE可知，文章来自可以点击继续阅读的网页。故选B项。
4、答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。根据划线单词上一句Their husbands each needed a kidney transplant(肾脏移植). They were willing to donate one of theirs(她们的丈夫都需要肾脏移植。她们都愿意捐出自己的一个肾脏)可知,她们俩人的丈夫都需要肾脏移植,而她们也都乐意捐出自己的一个肾脏。然而,划线单词所在句句首的“but”则说明情况有变。根据划线单词后的“to their respective husbands.(她们各自的丈夫)”可判断,划线单词意思和“匹配、适合”相似。故选C。
5、答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第三段“It is extremely rare for two people to suggest exchanging their own paired organ and actually be a match for each other. I've personally never seen this happen,” Christina Klein, a medical director of Piedmont Atlanta Hospital's kidney transplant program, says. “When we put patients 'information into large databases for national paired kidney exchange programs, some patients wait months or even years for a match.”(两个人建议交换自己的配对器官,并真正成为对方的配对器官,这是极其罕见的。“我个人从未见过这种情况发生,”皮埃蒙特亚特兰大医院肾脏移植项目的医学主任克里斯蒂娜克莱因说。“当我们把病人的信息输入国家配对肾脏交换项目的大型数据库时,一些病人要等几个月甚至几年才能得到匹配。”)可知,这种巧合几率太小了,所以这两个女士的故事真的是太令人惊讶了。故选D。
6、答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段Rodney says he will be forever grateful to his wife and Susan. “Susan and Lance are going to come with us to North Carolina for our son's first college football game,” his wife adds, “We've skipped the friendship. We're family now.”(罗德尼说,他将永远感激他的妻子和苏珊。“苏珊和兰斯要和我们一起去北卡罗来纳看我们儿子的第一场大学橄榄球比赛,”他的妻子补充道,“我们已经放弃了友谊。我们现在是一家人了。”)可知,这两家人现在关系很密切,就像家人一样。故选A。
7、答案：B
解析：主旨大意题。根据文章第二段When they knew each other's condition and met in the washroom, the women paused for a moment and had a short conversation. Then they had tests again. Tests showed that each woman was an excellent match for the other's husband. And seven months after that chance conversation, Tia donated one of her kidneys to Susan's husband Lance Ellis, and Susan donated one of hers to Tia's husband Rodney Wimbush.(当她们知道彼此的病情并在洗手间见面时,两位女士停顿了一会儿,进行了简短的交谈。然后他们又做了一次测试。测试表明,两位女士都非常适合对方的丈夫。在那次偶然交谈的七个月后,蒂亚把自己的一个肾捐给了苏珊的丈夫兰斯·埃利斯,苏珊把自己的一个肾捐给了蒂亚的丈夫罗德尼·温布什。)以及文章主要内容可知,这篇文章主要讲述了两位女同事的丈夫都需要肾脏移植,但是她们俩的肾脏和各自丈夫的都不匹配,反而和对方丈夫肾脏相匹配。最终,她们决定为对方丈夫捐赠自己的一个肾脏,而这样的几率太小了。所以“An Unimaginable Match(难以想象的匹配)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B。
8、答案：C
解析：推断题。根据第二段的"So the team modified males...prevents the females from surviving into adulthood"可知,Kevin Gorman和他的团队对雄性蚊子进行基因改造,创造了OX5034蚊子。它们拥有一种基因,允许年轻的雄性蚊子存活,但阻止雌性蚊子存活到成年。由此可推知,他们是通过缩短雌性蚊子的寿命来控制蚊子数量的。故选C。
9、答案：B
解析：理解主旨要义题。通读第三段可知,在繁殖高峰季节,OX5034雄性蚊子被释放到巴西因达亚图巴的四个蚊子众多的地点。在其中两个地方,研究人员一次释放了100只基因被改造的蚊子,而他们在其余测试区域一次释放了最多500只蚊子。与附近没有接触这些蚊子的社区相比,释放有基因被改造的蚊子的地方的蚊子数量下降了88%到96%。由此可知,本段主要讨论的是实验的过程和结果。
10、答案：D
解析：推断题。本题问的是"第四段作者为什么提及澳大利亚和印度尼西亚"。根据第四段的"While the study didn't look at whether suppressing(抑制) the mosquitoes led to a lower rate of dengue... were introduced there"可知,虽然这项研究并没有探究抑制蚊子的数量是否会降低登革热的发病率,但在其他地方有这样的证据。与前几年相比,澳大利亚采取的类似措施使当地传播的登革热的病例有所减少。一项研究还发现,在印度尼西亚引入基因被改造的蚊子后,登革热的发病率降低了77%。由此可知,作者提及澳大利亚和印度尼西亚是为了说明改造蚊子的基因这种方法在减少登革热病例方面的效果。A项"说明该方法的潜在用途";B项"解释这项研究的背景";C项"使人们关注登革热的严重性";D项"说明该方法在减少登革热方面的效果"。故选D。
11、答案：A
解析：推断题。本题问的是"Oxitec下一步会做什么"。根据最后一段的"As well as dengue, Oxitec is making plans for developing modified mosquitoes to reduce other diseases like malaria"可知,除了登革热,Oxitec还计划开发基因被改造的蚊子来减少疟疾等其他疾病。由此可推知,Oxitec接下来会扩大基因改造方法的应用范围。A项"扩大(基因改造)这种方法的应用范围";B项"对其他种类的蚊子进行基因改造";C项"探索更好的蚊虫控制策略";D项"寻找与蚊子有关的疾病的治疗方法"。故选A。
12、答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段“On the one hand, milestones can be a really helpful tool for igniting(激起) motivation and a sense of purpose. Particularly in times of depression, I can find myself examining life and how I would like it to look I set myself goals and targets in the hopes of reaching the lifestyle I want to create for myself. However, I usually end up setting unrealistic targets. I get frustrated when my life takes a different course of action, and my milestones are missed, adapted or just changed.(一方面,里程碑可以是点燃动机和使命感的非常有用的工具。尤其是在抑郁的时候,我可以发现自己审视生活,以及我希望它是什么样子。我为自己设定目标,希望达到我想为自己创造的生活方式。然而,我通常会设定不切实际的目标。当我的生活采取了不同的行动路线,我的里程碑错过了,适应了,或者只是改变了,我就会感到沮丧。)”可知,作者以自己的经历表明里程碑既有好处也有缺陷。故选D。
13、答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Society consistently sets unrealistic standards upon us all. As such, we feel we should therefore conform to(遵从) the general standard presented to us, without considering what is right for ourselves as individuals. The pressure to act and look a certain way based on your age is unhealthy and exhausting, particularly when society chooses not to see each individual as just that -an individual.(社会总是给我们设定不切实际的标准。因此,我们觉得我们应该遵循呈现给我们的一般标准,而不考虑什么对我们个人是正确的。根据你的年龄来呈现自己行为举止的压力是不健康和令人疲惫的,特别是当社会选择不把每个人都看作是一个个体的时候。)”可知,社会标准忽略了每个人都是独立的个体,都具有自己的独特性,这对我们产生了消极的影响。故选A。
14、答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“As far as I am concerned, the answer is both yes and no. Milestones help bring a sense of calm to the disorder of somebody's life, but they also have the potential to create confusion and frustration when life takes you on a different path, forcing you to miss determined targets for new unexpected ones.(在我看来,答案既是肯定的,也是否定的。里程碑有助于给人们混乱的生活带来一种平静的感觉,但当生活带你走上不同的道路时,它们也有可能造成困惑和沮丧,迫使你为了新的意想不到的目标而错过既定的目标。)”可知,当我们错过既定的目标时,我们会感到气馁。而这就是所谓的里程碑会减缓我们的成长。故选C。
15、答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Life is ultimately personal and full of many individual choices that both open and close varying pathways—the choice of how to move forward in life is yours. The key needed, however, is knowing yourself well enough to evaluate and decide which milestones are needed and when.(生活最终是个人的,充满了许多个人的选择,这些选择既可以打开也可以关闭不同的道路—如何在生活中前进的选择是你的。然而,关键是要充分了解自己,以评估和决定需要哪些里程碑以及何时需要。)”可知,当我们在做出关于里程碑的决定时,我们应该要充分了解自己,好好审视自己再做决定。故选B。
16、答案：DAFGC
解析：①根据段落小标题"Give yourself plenty of time"可知,本段给出的建议是要给自己充足的时间。结合空后提到的确保你留出足够的时间做好准备，并前往面试地点可知，空处内容应是该建议下的具体做法，故D项"你最不需要的就是惊慌失措，四处奔走"符合语境。
②根据段落小标题"Keep things as normal and calm as possible"可知，本段给出的建议是尽可能保持一切正常和平静。空后提到以正常方式洗澡、穿衣和吃早饭。由此可知，空处内容还是在说要一切如常。A项"像往常一样开始你的一天"承上启下，符合语境。
③空前提到如果你想简单地看一下你的申请，可以看，没关系。但是不要超过十分钟。由此可知，空处介绍的应是前面所述做法的原因或结果。F项"花太多时间在这上面会让你变得有压力，浪费你的精力"与上文衔接紧密，符合语境。
④本段建议"找人开车送你去面试地点"。空后提到但是，不要让对方问你假想的面试问题，这会让你倍感压力，耗尽你宝贵的精力。相反，谈论任何能帮助你放松的事情。由此可知，空处内容应涉及与同车的人交谈，且所填内容能够与空后内容构成转折。G项"此外，在路上有人可以聊天会使你的注意力从面试上转移开"符合语境。
⑤空处是段落的小标题，对最后一段内容起总结概括的作用。根据最后一段内容可知，可在面试前10-15分钟吃点零食。如果你的胃是空的，你会被打扰，不能在整场面试中集中精力。在面试前快速浏览一下面试内容，让你能量满格。前两句说明的是要补充体力，后一句说明的是要保存精力，故C项符合语境。

32、答案：①is struck②particularly③building④performance⑤before⑥have shown⑦a⑧to explain⑨but⑩related/relative
解析：①考查时态语态。句意:许多电影观众对它赞不绝口,几乎每个人都被其中的科学技术所打动,尤其是将人们送上太空的太空电梯。空处为and并列句的谓语动词,陈述客观事实,用一般现在时,主语every one of them是第三人称单数,其与谓语动词strike之间是被动关系,故用一般现在时的被动语态。故填is struck。
②考查副词。句意同上。此处用副词particularly“尤其”作评注性状语。故填particularly。
③考查非谓语动词。句意:建造太空电梯的关键是找到一种可以用作电梯电缆的超强材料。短语the key to“……的关键”中to是介词,其后接build的动名词形式作宾语。故填building。
④考查名词。句意:当材料暴露在太空中的特殊条件下时,需要保持良好的性能。空处应填名词作宾语,performance“性能”符合题意,不可数。故填performance。
⑤考查连词。句意:太空电梯可能要过很多年才能真正成为现实。it be+短时间+before“要过……才……”是固定句型,其中before引导时间状语从句。故填before。
⑥考查时态。句意:在过去的几周里,许多观众对电影中的细节和技术表现出了极大的兴趣。结合语境和时间状语over the past weeks可知,本句使用现在完成时,主语audiences是复数,助动词用have。故填have shown。
⑦考查冠词。句意:许多科学家和研究人员加入了在线讨论,试图解释电影中技术的可能性。结合句意表达“许多”用a number of, number的发音是辅音音素开头,故填a。
⑧考查非谓语动词。句意同上。名词attempt后常用不定式作后置定语,in an attempt to do sth.“试图做某事”。故填to explain。
⑨考查并列连词。句意:电影的科学顾问说:“关于这部电影的讨论不仅表明了对中国电影的支持,而且激发了更多人对科技的热情,让他们有机会了解电影背后的科学技术相关知识。”结合句意表达“不但……而且……”用not only...but (also)...。故填but。

33、答案：
This online concert is absolutely fantastic. The performers from the two schools have done their best in entertaining the audience with one song after another. Their performances are undoubtedly of high quality, which makes the concert almost no different from a live one. I enjoyed every second of the concert and was particularly attracted when the boys and girls from Britain started to sing the traditional Chinese song “Liang Zhu”. They performed the song in a way that touched my heart and gave me a feeling of connection. I hope there will be more opportunities in the future for the students from China and our international friends to learn about and from each other.

34、答案：
One day in the trees, Squirt met up with a family of gray squirrels. At first, he was hesitant to approach them, but soon he realized that they were friendly. He chattered and played with them, and they even shared some nuts with him. Kaytlin and our other daughters were delighted to see Squirt making new friends in the wild. It was clear that he had adapted well and was thriving on his own. We felt proud and happy to have helped him survive those difficult early weeks of his life.
One night, Squirt didn’t come back to our house and it rained hard. We were worried sick about him. The next morning, we searched the yard and the trees for any signs of him, but there was no trace of him. We wondered if he had found a new family or if something had happened to him. But just when we had given up hope, we saw him on a nearby tree, safe and sound. He was wet and shivering, but he was alive. We took him in and dried him off, and he snuggled up with Kaytlin, as if to say thank you. From that day on, Squirt visited us less frequently, but he would always come back every now and then to say hello and share some nuts with us. We will always cherish the memories of our time with Squirt, and we will never forget the lessons he taught us about love, compassion, and the beauty of nature.

Tia Wimbush and Susan Elis have been co-workers for a decade, and while they didn't know each other well, they had something in common, both dealing with the same medical stress at home. Their husbands each needed a kidney transplant(肾脏移植). They were willing to donate one of theirs, but previous tests showed theirs weren't apposite to their respective husbands.
When they knew each other's condition and met in the washroom, the women paused for a moment and had a short conversation. Then they had tests again. Tests showed that each woman was an excellent match for the other's husband. And seven months after that chance conversation, Tia donated one of her kidneys to Susan's husband Lance Ellis, and Susan donated one of hers to Tia's husband Rodney Wimbush.
“It is extremely rare for two people to suggest exchanging their own paired organ and actually be a match for each other. I've personally never seen this happen,” Christina Klein, a medical director of Piedmont Atlanta Hospital’s kidney transplant program, says. “When we put patients' information into large databases for national paired kidney exchange programs, some patients wait months or even years for a match.”
The couples met a few days before the surgeries when they came to the hospital for the final round of testing. Before that, they had chatted on social media a bit. The surgeries lasted about three to four hours each and were beyond their expectations, with no one developing complications. “It's really just a story about simple kindness,” Susan says, “For us, it started with two people just being good humans. Now we'd like to tell people they can do the same. ”
Rodney says he will be forever grateful to his wife and Susan. “Susan and Lance are going to come with us to North Carolina for our son's first college football game,” his wife adds, “We've skipped the friendship. We're family now.”
4、What does the underlined word "apposite” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Sensitive. B. Relevant. C. Suited. D. Comparable.
5、How does Christina Klein find Tia and Susan's story?
A. It is touching. B. It is inspiring.
C. It is worrying. D. It is surprising.
6、What is the change in the two families after the transplant operations?
A. They bond with each other closely. B. They become interested in football.
C. They interact more regularly online. D. They are motivated to do good deeds.
7、Which can be the best title of the text?
A. A Different Family B. An Unimaginable Match
C. A Funny Coincidence D. An Unforgettable Kindness
Mosquitoes can spread a range of potentially life-threatening diseases. Existing methods of controlling the insect can be inefficient. For example, mosquitoes can develop a resistance to insecticides(杀虫剂).
Now, Kevin Gorman at the biotechnology firm Oxitec in Abingdon, UK, and his colleagues have genetically modified(基因改造) males of the mosquito species Aedes aegypti in a way that will greatly cut the insect's population. Among all mosquito species, only females bite. So the team modified males to create so-called OX5034 mosquitoes. They have a gene that allows young male mosquitoes to live, but prevents the females from surviving into adulthood.
In the peak season for reproducing, OX5034 males were released into four heavily populated places in the city of Indaiatuba in Brazil. Within two of these neighborhoods, 100 modified mosquitoes were released at a time, while the remaining test areas were exposed to up to 500 of the insects at a time. Compared with a nearby community that wasn't exposed to any of these mosquitoes, the places where the modified insects were released saw an 88 percent to 96 percent decline in their mosquito population.
The researchers particularly focus on controlling dengue—a disease caused by a virus carried by mosquitoes. Globally, the number of dengue cases has grown significantly in the past three decades, with 100 million to 400 million cases now occurring annually. While the study didn't look at whether suppressing(抑制) the mosquitoes led to a lower rate of dengue, there was evidence of this elsewhere. Similar efforts in Australia saw fewer cases of locally spread dengue compared with previous years. A study also found a 77 percent reduction of dengue in Indonesia after modified mosquitoes were introduced there.
According to Dawn Wesson at the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, Louisiana, Oxitec's effort is a step up from previous insect control strategies in which mosquito sexual selection wasn't done by genetic means. That's the beauty of this method. As well as dengue, Oxitec is making plans for developing modified mosquitoes to reduce other diseases like malaria, says Nathan Rose at Oxitec.
8、How does Kevin Gorman's team try to control mosquitoes?
A. By decreasing the males’ population.
B. By transforming all mosquitoes’ genes.
C. By shortening the females’ life.
D. By improving the insecticides’ effect.
9、Which aspect of the research is mainly discussed in paragraph 3?
A. The target and site. B. The process and findings.
C. The data and report. D. The preparations and methods.
10、Why are Australia and Indonesia mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To state the potential use of the method.
B. To explain the background of the study.
C. To draw attention to the severity of dengue.
D. To show the method's effect on reducing dengue.
11、What may Oxitec work on next?
A. Widening the applications of the method.
B. Engineering other species of mosquitoes.
C. Exploring better mosquito control strategies.
D. Finding cures for mosquito-related diseases.
Do milestones aid growth and quality of life? Or do they construct barriers? This is what I often struggle with, especially when constructing a vision of my life in the future.
On the one hand, milestones can be a really helpful tool for igniting(激起) motivation and a sense of purpose. Particularly in times of depression, I can find myself examining life and how I would like it to look I set myself goals and targets in the hopes of reaching the lifestyle I want to create for myself. However, I usually end up setting unrealistic targets. I get frustrated when my life takes a different course of action, and my milestones are missed, adapted or just changed.
We need to remember that convenience is not comprehensive. Life will sometimes not go the way you want it to. There is no straight pathway. Both people and our lives are completely unique, and are in constant evolution—so why put so much pressure on ourselves to reach targets by a certain point?
Society consistently sets unrealistic standards upon us all. As such, we feel we should therefore conform to(遵从) the general standard presented to us, without considering what is right for ourselves as individuals. The pressure to act and look a certain way based on your age is unhealthy and exhausting, particularly when society chooses not to see each individual as just that—an individual.
So, do milestones help or slow growth?
As far as I am concerned, the answer is both yes and no. Milestones help bring a sense of calm to the disorder of somebody's life, but they also have the potential to create confusion and frustration when life takes you on a different path, forcing you to miss determined targets for new unexpected ones.
Life is ultimately personal and full of many individual choices that both open and close varying pathways—the choice of how to move forward in life is yours. The key needed, however, is knowing yourself well enough to evaluate and decide which milestones are needed and when.
12、What is the author's purpose in mentioning his own goal-setting experience?
A. To explain the advantages of milestones.
B. To introduce effective ways to set goals.
C. To highlight the necessity of setting goals.
D. To show milestones are a double-edged sword.
13、Why can social standards have a negative effect on us?
A. They ignore that each of us is unique.
B. They fail to guide us to do the right things.
C. They are too general for us to follow.
D. They constantly change and thus exhaust us.
14、Why can milestones slow growth according to the author?
A. They can take us on a wrong path.
B. They can disturb our pace of life.
C. They can discourage us when we miss goals.
D. They can force us to change our targets constantly.
15、What is the authors suggestion on making a decision on milestones?
A. Stick to our decisions. B. Examine ourselves well.
C. Stay positive and calm. D. Be prepared for the unexpected.

34、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My husband and I enjoy seeing life through the eyes of our children. It's amazing to watch as they discover their world.
While we were outdoors last summer enjoying the sunshine, our oldest daughter, Kaytlin, called me to the doorway. Beneath the steps was a baby red squirrel.
We watched it from a distance, not wanting to disturb it or scare off its mother. But after a long wait - and looking all around our house for signs of a nest or a mother—we realized the tiny squirrel was lost.
Shaking terribly, he was weak, thin, and hungry. We tried to find an expert to help, but the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website showed that there were no wildlife experts in our area. After some quick research, we concluded that the best way to give the squirrel a fighting chance was to care for him ourselves. So a trip to the local store for milk and supplies was in order.
More research taught us how much to feed him, how to estimate his age, how and when to wean (断奶) him, and that we should let him go as soon as he could survive on his own.
Our daughters and I took turns in feeding “Squirt.” Kaytlin took on the most responsibility. She taught him to eat from a bottle, and she woke in the night for his feeds.
To our relief, Squirt soon became healthy and strong. Within a few weeks he became more active. He would chatter(吱吱叫) for his next meal, playfully go around the girls, and lie down on them for sleep. It wasn’t long before he was weaned onto solid food and reintroduced to the wild.
His first few visits to the great outdoors were funny. Just like a child, he would play in the grass some and then run back to Kaolin for safety. Soon she had him climbing trees and finding nest material.

1.续写词数应为150左右；

One day in the trees, Squirt met up with a family of gray squirrels.

参考答案
1、答案：C
解析：根据第一段第二句Schools were evaluated based on their research performance and their ratings by members of the academic community around the world and within Europe.可知，对学校的评估是基于每所大学的研究成果和世界各地及欧洲学术界成员的评分。故选C项。
2、答案：D
解析：根据每所大学简介中ENROLLMENT(入学人数）部分提供的数据可知，伦敦大学学院招收了最多学生。故选D项。
3、答案：B
解析：根据每所大学简介中出现的READMORE可知，文章来自可以点击继续阅读的网页。故选B项。
4、答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。根据划线单词上一句Their husbands each needed a kidney transplant(肾脏移植). They were willing to donate one of theirs(她们的丈夫都需要肾脏移植。她们都愿意捐出自己的一个肾脏)可知,她们俩人的丈夫都需要肾脏移植,而她们也都乐意捐出自己的一个肾脏。然而,划线单词所在句句首的“but”则说明情况有变。根据划线单词后的“to their respective husbands.(她们各自的丈夫)”可判断,划线单词意思和“匹配、适合”相似。故选C。
5、答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第三段“It is extremely rare for two people to suggest exchanging their own paired organ and actually be a match for each other. I've personally never seen this happen,” Christina Klein, a medical director of Piedmont Atlanta Hospital's kidney transplant program, says. “When we put patients 'information into large databases for national paired kidney exchange programs, some patients wait months or even years for a match.”(两个人建议交换自己的配对器官,并真正成为对方的配对器官,这是极其罕见的。“我个人从未见过这种情况发生,”皮埃蒙特亚特兰大医院肾脏移植项目的医学主任克里斯蒂娜克莱因说。“当我们把病人的信息输入国家配对肾脏交换项目的大型数据库时,一些病人要等几个月甚至几年才能得到匹配。”)可知,这种巧合几率太小了,所以这两个女士的故事真的是太令人惊讶了。故选D。
6、答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段Rodney says he will be forever grateful to his wife and Susan. “Susan and Lance are going to come with us to North Carolina for our son's first college football game,” his wife adds, “We've skipped the friendship. We're family now.”(罗德尼说,他将永远感激他的妻子和苏珊。“苏珊和兰斯要和我们一起去北卡罗来纳看我们儿子的第一场大学橄榄球比赛,”他的妻子补充道,“我们已经放弃了友谊。我们现在是一家人了。”)可知,这两家人现在关系很密切,就像家人一样。故选A。
7、答案：B
解析：主旨大意题。根据文章第二段When they knew each other's condition and met in the washroom, the women paused for a moment and had a short conversation. Then they had tests again. Tests showed that each woman was an excellent match for the other's husband. And seven months after that chance conversation, Tia donated one of her kidneys to Susan's husband Lance Ellis, and Susan donated one of hers to Tia's husband Rodney Wimbush.(当她们知道彼此的病情并在洗手间见面时,两位女士停顿了一会儿,进行了简短的交谈。然后他们又做了一次测试。测试表明,两位女士都非常适合对方的丈夫。在那次偶然交谈的七个月后,蒂亚把自己的一个肾捐给了苏珊的丈夫兰斯·埃利斯,苏珊把自己的一个肾捐给了蒂亚的丈夫罗德尼·温布什。)以及文章主要内容可知,这篇文章主要讲述了两位女同事的丈夫都需要肾脏移植,但是她们俩的肾脏和各自丈夫的都不匹配,反而和对方丈夫肾脏相匹配。最终,她们决定为对方丈夫捐赠自己的一个肾脏,而这样的几率太小了。所以“An Unimaginable Match(难以想象的匹配)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B。
8、答案：C
解析：推断题。根据第二段的"So the team modified males...prevents the females from surviving into adulthood"可知,Kevin Gorman和他的团队对雄性蚊子进行基因改造,创造了OX5034蚊子。它们拥有一种基因,允许年轻的雄性蚊子存活,但阻止雌性蚊子存活到成年。由此可推知,他们是通过缩短雌性蚊子的寿命来控制蚊子数量的。故选C。
9、答案：B
解析：理解主旨要义题。通读第三段可知,在繁殖高峰季节,OX5034雄性蚊子被释放到巴西因达亚图巴的四个蚊子众多的地点。在其中两个地方,研究人员一次释放了100只基因被改造的蚊子,而他们在其余测试区域一次释放了最多500只蚊子。与附近没有接触这些蚊子的社区相比,释放有基因被改造的蚊子的地方的蚊子数量下降了88%到96%。由此可知,本段主要讨论的是实验的过程和结果。
10、答案：D
解析：推断题。本题问的是"第四段作者为什么提及澳大利亚和印度尼西亚"。根据第四段的"While the study didn't look at whether suppressing(抑制) the mosquitoes led to a lower rate of dengue... were introduced there"可知,虽然这项研究并没有探究抑制蚊子的数量是否会降低登革热的发病率,但在其他地方有这样的证据。与前几年相比,澳大利亚采取的类似措施使当地传播的登革热的病例有所减少。一项研究还发现,在印度尼西亚引入基因被改造的蚊子后,登革热的发病率降低了77%。由此可知,作者提及澳大利亚和印度尼西亚是为了说明改造蚊子的基因这种方法在减少登革热病例方面的效果。A项"说明该方法的潜在用途";B项"解释这项研究的背景";C项"使人们关注登革热的严重性";D项"说明该方法在减少登革热方面的效果"。故选D。
11、答案：A
解析：推断题。本题问的是"Oxitec下一步会做什么"。根据最后一段的"As well as dengue, Oxitec is making plans for developing modified mosquitoes to reduce other diseases like malaria"可知,除了登革热,Oxitec还计划开发基因被改造的蚊子来减少疟疾等其他疾病。由此可推知,Oxitec接下来会扩大基因改造方法的应用范围。A项"扩大(基因改造)这种方法的应用范围";B项"对其他种类的蚊子进行基因改造";C项"探索更好的蚊虫控制策略";D项"寻找与蚊子有关的疾病的治疗方法"。故选A。
12、答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段“On the one hand, milestones can be a really helpful tool for igniting(激起) motivation and a sense of purpose. Particularly in times of depression, I can find myself examining life and how I would like it to look I set myself goals and targets in the hopes of reaching the lifestyle I want to create for myself. However, I usually end up setting unrealistic targets. I get frustrated when my life takes a different course of action, and my milestones are missed, adapted or just changed.(一方面,里程碑可以是点燃动机和使命感的非常有用的工具。尤其是在抑郁的时候,我可以发现自己审视生活,以及我希望它是什么样子。我为自己设定目标,希望达到我想为自己创造的生活方式。然而,我通常会设定不切实际的目标。当我的生活采取了不同的行动路线,我的里程碑错过了,适应了,或者只是改变了,我就会感到沮丧。)”可知,作者以自己的经历表明里程碑既有好处也有缺陷。故选D。
13、答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Society consistently sets unrealistic standards upon us all. As such, we feel we should therefore conform to(遵从) the general standard presented to us, without considering what is right for ourselves as individuals. The pressure to act and look a certain way based on your age is unhealthy and exhausting, particularly when society chooses not to see each individual as just that -an individual.(社会总是给我们设定不切实际的标准。因此,我们觉得我们应该遵循呈现给我们的一般标准,而不考虑什么对我们个人是正确的。根据你的年龄来呈现自己行为举止的压力是不健康和令人疲惫的,特别是当社会选择不把每个人都看作是一个个体的时候。)”可知,社会标准忽略了每个人都是独立的个体,都具有自己的独特性,这对我们产生了消极的影响。故选A。
14、答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“As far as I am concerned, the answer is both yes and no. Milestones help bring a sense of calm to the disorder of somebody's life, but they also have the potential to create confusion and frustration when life takes you on a different path, forcing you to miss determined targets for new unexpected ones.(在我看来,答案既是肯定的,也是否定的。里程碑有助于给人们混乱的生活带来一种平静的感觉,但当生活带你走上不同的道路时,它们也有可能造成困惑和沮丧,迫使你为了新的意想不到的目标而错过既定的目标。)”可知,当我们错过既定的目标时,我们会感到气馁。而这就是所谓的里程碑会减缓我们的成长。故选C。
15、答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Life is ultimately personal and full of many individual choices that both open and close varying pathways—the choice of how to move forward in life is yours. The key needed, however, is knowing yourself well enough to evaluate and decide which milestones are needed and when.(生活最终是个人的,充满了许多个人的选择,这些选择既可以打开也可以关闭不同的道路—如何在生活中前进的选择是你的。然而,关键是要充分了解自己,以评估和决定需要哪些里程碑以及何时需要。)”可知,当我们在做出关于里程碑的决定时,我们应该要充分了解自己,好好审视自己再做决定。故选B。
16、答案：DAFGC
解析：①根据段落小标题"Give yourself plenty of time"可知,本段给出的建议是要给自己充足的时间。结合空后提到的确保你留出足够的时间做好准备，并前往面试地点可知，空处内容应是该建议下的具体做法，故D项"你最不需要的就是惊慌失措，四处奔走"符合语境。
②根据段落小标题"Keep things as normal and calm as possible"可知，本段给出的建议是尽可能保持一切正常和平静。空后提到以正常方式洗澡、穿衣和吃早饭。由此可知，空处内容还是在说要一切如常。A项"像往常一样开始你的一天"承上启下，符合语境。
③空前提到如果你想简单地看一下你的申请，可以看，没关系。但是不要超过十分钟。由此可知，空处介绍的应是前面所述做法的原因或结果。F项"花太多时间在这上面会让你变得有压力，浪费你的精力"与上文衔接紧密，符合语境。
④本段建议"找人开车送你去面试地点"。空后提到但是，不要让对方问你假想的面试问题，这会让你倍感压力，耗尽你宝贵的精力。相反，谈论任何能帮助你放松的事情。由此可知，空处内容应涉及与同车的人交谈，且所填内容能够与空后内容构成转折。G项"此外，在路上有人可以聊天会使你的注意力从面试上转移开"符合语境。
⑤空处是段落的小标题，对最后一段内容起总结概括的作用。根据最后一段内容可知，可在面试前10-15分钟吃点零食。如果你的胃是空的，你会被打扰，不能在整场面试中集中精力。在面试前快速浏览一下面试内容，让你能量满格。前两句说明的是要补充体力，后一句说明的是要保存精力，故C项符合语境。

32、答案：①is struck②particularly③building④performance⑤before⑥have shown⑦a⑧to explain⑨but⑩related/relative
解析：①考查时态语态。句意:许多电影观众对它赞不绝口,几乎每个人都被其中的科学技术所打动,尤其是将人们送上太空的太空电梯。空处为and并列句的谓语动词,陈述客观事实,用一般现在时,主语every one of them是第三人称单数,其与谓语动词strike之间是被动关系,故用一般现在时的被动语态。故填is struck。
②考查副词。句意同上。此处用副词particularly“尤其”作评注性状语。故填particularly。
③考查非谓语动词。句意:建造太空电梯的关键是找到一种可以用作电梯电缆的超强材料。短语the key to“……的关键”中to是介词,其后接build的动名词形式作宾语。故填building。
④考查名词。句意:当材料暴露在太空中的特殊条件下时,需要保持良好的性能。空处应填名词作宾语,performance“性能”符合题意,不可数。故填performance。
⑤考查连词。句意:太空电梯可能要过很多年才能真正成为现实。it be+短时间+before“要过……才……”是固定句型,其中before引导时间状语从句。故填before。
⑥考查时态。句意:在过去的几周里,许多观众对电影中的细节和技术表现出了极大的兴趣。结合语境和时间状语over the past weeks可知,本句使用现在完成时,主语audiences是复数,助动词用have。故填have shown。
⑦考查冠词。句意:许多科学家和研究人员加入了在线讨论,试图解释电影中技术的可能性。结合句意表达“许多”用a number of, number的发音是辅音音素开头,故填a。
⑧考查非谓语动词。句意同上。名词attempt后常用不定式作后置定语,in an attempt to do sth.“试图做某事”。故填to explain。
⑨考查并列连词。句意:电影的科学顾问说:“关于这部电影的讨论不仅表明了对中国电影的支持,而且激发了更多人对科技的热情,让他们有机会了解电影背后的科学技术相关知识。”结合句意表达“不但……而且……”用not only...but (also)...。故填but。
⑩考查形容词。句意同上。修饰名词词组knowledge of science and technology应用所给词的形容词形式,related/relative“有关的,相关的”符合题意。故填related/relative。
33、答案：
This online concert is absolutely fantastic. The performers from the two schools have done their best in entertaining the audience with one song after another. Their performances are undoubtedly of high quality, which makes the concert almost no different from a live one. I enjoyed every second of the concert and was particularly attracted when the boys and girls from Britain started to sing the traditional Chinese song “Liang Zhu”. They performed the song in a way that touched my heart and gave me a feeling of connection. I hope there will be more opportunities in the future for the students from China and our international friends to learn about and from each other.

34、答案：
One day in the trees, Squirt met up with a family of gray squirrels. At first, he was hesitant to approach them, but soon he realized that they were friendly. He chattered and played with them, and they even shared some nuts with him. Kaytlin and our other daughters were delighted to see Squirt making new friends in the wild. It was clear that he had adapted well and was thriving on his own. We felt proud and happy to have helped him survive those difficult early weeks of his life.
One night, Squirt didn’t come back to our house and it rained hard. We were worried sick about him. The next morning, we searched the yard and the trees for any signs of him, but there was no trace of him. We wondered if he had found a new family or if something had happened to him. But just when we had given up hope, we saw him on a nearby tree, safe and sound. He was wet and shivering, but he was alive. We took him in and dried him off, and he snuggled up with Kaytlin, as if to say thank you. From that day on, Squirt visited us less frequently, but he would always come back every now and then to say hello and share some nuts with us. We will always cherish the memories of our time with Squirt, and we will never forget the lessons he taught us about love, compassion, and the beauty of nature.
