(2016·东北三省三校第一次联考)Scientists in Argentina have created the world's first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce humanlike milk.
Genetic engineering was used to introduce the “mothers' milk” genes into the animal before birth, according to the National Institute of Agribusiness Technology in Buenos Aires.
As an adult, the cloned cow “will produce milk that is similar to that of humans”， which will prove “a development of great importance for the nutrition of infants (婴儿)”， said the institute. “The cloned cow, named Rosita ISA, is the first in the world with two human genes that contain the proteins present in human milk，” said the statement.
In April, scientists in China published details of research showing that they had created dairy cows which produced milk containing proteins found in human breast milk. But the Argentine team said the Chinese only introduced one human gene, while their research involved two, meaning the milk will more_closely_resemble that of humans.
“Our goal was to raise the nutrition value of cows' milk by adding two human genes, which do good to the immune system of infants，” said Adrian Mutto, from the National University of San Martin which worked with the institute.
Cristina Kirchner, President of Argentina, said the scientific institute made all Argentines proud. She also said that she had rejected the “honor” of having the cow named after her. “They came to tell me that the name is Cristina, but what woman would like to have a cow named after her? It appeared to me to be more proper to call it Rosita.”

A．She was quite satisfied with the research done by the institute.

(2016·石家庄市教学质量检测)We don't always get a second chance to achieve our dreams. But some people are lucky, like Matthew McConaughey. Once almost unknown, the actor has recently found himself back on the list of the best actors in Hollywood. His new movie Interstellar is just another sign that his career reinvention has been an incredible success.“The film relies on McConaughey's
performance to hold together the emotional story of a father and his daughter against the background of space travel and the end of the world，” Forbes commented.
But only years ago, the Texas native was often the butt of jokes (笑柄) about being too handsome. In 1993, after meeting with director Richard Linklater, McConaughey starred in Dazed and Confused. And a Hollywood career was born, mostly in romantic comedies. For a long time, the whole world believed McConaughey was just a handsome guy with comic talent.
But McConaughey stopped starring in that type of movie, and began to use his looks differently. Slowly he built up his reputation as a serious actor. In 2017, McConaughey was offered to play an AIDS activist in Dallas Buyers Club. The role saw the normally muscular actor losing 50 pounds in order to appear sick. His performance won him an Oscar for Best Actor.
The actor gave thanks to someone he has always looked up to as a hero during his Oscar acceptance speech. When he was 15, the actor said, he decided that his hero would be himself in 10 years. But 10 years later, he pushed the deadline ahead another decade. Then 10 years later, another decade.“My hero's always 10 years away，” he said. “I'm never going to attain that. That keeps me with somebody to keep on chasing.” Or perhaps constantly chasing the chance to be his own hero has given him a second chance to pursue his dreams.
语篇解读：本文是一篇人物介绍。主要讲述了演员McConaughey因不满足自己所取得的成绩，不断挑战自我，努力向前，最终成为闻名好莱坞的著名演员，成就了自己梦想的故事。

7．Which of the following can be the best title?
A．McConaughey, a Romantic Comedian
B．McConaughey, a Man Making a Hit

(2016·江西八所重点中学联考)Lily, a student of Cambridge University, has bought a bicycle and is worried about safety. Her friend, Cathryn, found this article and sent it to her.
How to make your bicycle safe?
A number of crimes are against bicycles. About 150,000 bicycles are stolen every year and most of them are never found. You can prevent this from happening by following a few careful steps.
Basic Security
Never leave your bicycle in outoftheway places. Always lock your bicycle when you leave. Secure it to lamp posts or trees. Take off smaller parts and carry them with you, for example lights and saddles (车座)．
Locks
There are various types of locks. Buy one that has been tested against attack. Ask for a recommendation from a bike shop owner.
Marking
The security marking of your bike can act as an obstruction to thieves, which can also help the police find your bicycle. Your postcode and your house or flat number should be included and clearly recorded. This will provide a simple way to identify your bicycle.
Registration
There are many companies that will offer the security marking to your bicycle. They will then store your registration number and personal details in their computer database. If your bicycle is found, it will be easy to contact you.
Attention
Keep a record of the bicycle by yourself: its production place, model and registration number. You can even take a photograph of it. This will prove the bicycle belongs to you.
语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。Lily的朋友 Cathryn为她找了一篇文章，文章提供了一些保护自行车安全的建议。

A．Basic Security.

D．The security marking database makes it easy to get in touch with the owner.
解析：选A 正误判断题。Marking部分提到“The security marking of your bike ... police find your bicycle.”，由此可知security marking能帮助警察找到你被偷的自行车，但不能保证贼不偷你的车子，故A项表述错误。
14．The article advises you to keep a record of your bicycle ________.
A．both in the bike shop and your computer
B．either in a security company or your university
C．by yourself and in a company that will offer security marking as well

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述一家人在一起吃饭时发生的一件事。作者的儿子刚开始不愿意吃没吃过的菜，但是在尝了一口之后，却对这道菜赞不绝口。
1.preparing 因为prepare与这句话的主语“the family and I”之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系，所以此处应用prepare的现在分词形式作伴随状语。故填preparing。
2．Immediately 此处所填词修饰后面整个句子，故应用副词immediately。immediately位于句首，首字母要大写。故填Immediately。
3．consumed “he had ever______(consume)”是定语从句，主句为过去时，从句意为“他曾经吃过的”，故从句时态应为过去完成时，所以此处应用consume的过去分词形式，即consumed。
4．different 根据空格前的系动词“was”，并结合语境可知，此处应用difference的形容词形式，即different，构成系表结构。
5．of instead of 是固定搭配，意为“代替，而不是”，后接名词、代词或动名词，符合题意。故填of。
6．continued 因为这句话的主语“The debate”和continue之间是主谓关系，而且根据上下文语境可知，此处描述的是过去发生的动作，应用一般过去时。故填continued。
7．a bite 作名词意为“一口”时是可数名词，且此处泛指“咬了一口”，故此处应用不定冠词 a。
8．and 因为本句中的“smiled”，“started”和“could not stop”是三个并列的谓语动词，它们之间是顺承关系，所以此处应用and。
9．mine 根据语境可知，作者的儿子想吃作者盘子里的菜，所以此处所填词应是指代作者盘子里的菜，故应用名词性物主代词，即mine。
10．presented 句子主语“the same meal”和present 之间是动宾关系，空格前已有was，所以此处只需填present的过去分词形式，即presented。
Ⅱ.短文改错
(2016·哈尔滨市第三中学一模)As I was leaving the grocery store this afternoon, I saw a poor family — a mother and her four kid sitting in the cold, it brought back memories from when I was a child. The little girl, about 13, told me he liked my Under Armour sweater. I said, “thank you”. When I am walking to my car, I started to feel sadly. Put the groceries in my car, I suddenly thought the little girl might need a sweater at the school. So I went back to find the little girl, take
my sweater off but gave it to her. I knew she would get much use out of it than me.
答案：第一句：kid→kids; it→which
第二句：he→she
第四句：am→was; sadly→sad
第五句：Put→Putting; 去掉school前的the
第六句：take→took; but→and
第七句：much→more
