　　Scientists in Argentina have created the world’s first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce human-like 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.”

　　【语篇导读】阿根廷国家农业综合科技研究所的科学家们日前宣布,他们已成功培育出一头能够产类似人奶的奶牛。

　　1.What is the passage mainly about?

　　A.The importance of genetic engineering.

　　B.Ways to improve mothers’ milk.

　　C.A cloned cow to produce human-like milk.

　　D.Advanced agricultural technology in Argentina.

　　答案:C

　　解析:主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Scientists in Argentina have created the world’s first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce human-like milk.”可知,阿根廷的科学家们已成功培育出一头能够产类似人奶的奶牛。故选C项。

　　2.Which of the following can best replace “more closely resemble” in Paragraph 4?

　　A.have more varieties than

　　B.be more similar to

　　C.have more nutrition than

　　D.be more different from

　　答案:B

　　解析:词义猜测题。根据第四段的第二、三句可知,阿根廷的研究组称中国研究组仅放入了一个人类基因,而他们的研究包含了两个,这意味着产出的牛奶将和人奶更相似。故选B项。

　　3.What can be inferred from Cristina Kirchner’s statements?

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

　　B.She considered it an honor to name the special cow.

　　C.She felt it improper to be named after the cow.

　　D.She refused to give a name to the cow out of self-respect.

　　答案:A

　　解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段Cristina Kirchner的话“made all Argentines proud”可推知,她对这个研究感到非常满意。故选A项。

　　(2015·河南洛阳统考)

　　Tom:Sandy,it seems that only half of the students passed the final exam.

　　Sandy:Really?The exam must 1.　(be)very difficult this time. 

　　Tom:Well,I’m really 2.(surprise)too.There are many students who definitely didn’t fail.According to Jack,there are eight boys in his class who failed,3.(include)himself and Scott. 

　　Sandy:Oh!Scott is 4. of the top students in the college.What about his sister,Kate?Did she pass?

　　Tom:It seems unfair,doesn’t it?But,from 8. I’ve heard,perhaps he worked too hard.He was ill during the week of the exam.

　　Sandy:Oh,I see.These things happen,sometimes.I suppose the teacher will take his 9.(ill)into account and give him a pass. 

　　Tom:Well,there is a rumor going around that the head of the department is leaving.

　　Sandy:Because 10. the bad result,you mean?  

　　Tom:Well,I suppose so.I’m not sure.Maybe Mr.Smith is going to be the new head of the department.

　　答案与解析:

　　【语篇导读】这是一段对话,对话以期末考试仅有一半的同学及格这件事而展开。

　　1.have been　解析:考查情态动词表推测。因为期末考试已经结束,这是对过去事情的肯定推测,应用“must+have done”。

　　2.surprised　解析:考查形容词。所填词在句中作表语,且主语I为表示人的词,所以填surprised,表示“吃惊的”。

　　3.including　解析:考查介词。本句句意:按照杰克所说的,他班里有八位男生没有通过考试,包括他自己和斯科特。介词including“包括”符合句意。

　　4.one　解析:考查代词。本句句意:斯科特是大学里最优秀的学生之一。

　　5.got　解析:考查动词的时态。根据语境可知,期末考试已经结束,凯特得到了很好的分数一事发生在过去,应用一般过去时。

　　6.absolutely　解析:考查副词。本句句意:这绝对令人难以置信。修饰形容词unbelievable应用副词absolutely。

　　7.better　解析:考查形容词的比较级。空格后面的than说明这里应用比较级,good的比较级为better。

　　8.what　解析:考查名词性从句。介词from后接宾语从句,空格处在宾语从句中作heard的宾语,故应填what。

　　9.illness　解析:考查词性转换。take sth into account “把某事考虑进去”;take后接宾语,故应用ill的名词形式。

　　10.of　解析:考查固定搭配。空格前为Because,其后的the bad result为名词短语,故应用of,because of“因为,由于”。
