　　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.”

　　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.

　　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

　　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.

　　.【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.C　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.B　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.A　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。

　　.【语篇导读】一位善良的老人用剪刀帮蝴蝶破茧而出,但他不知这样做反而使蝴蝶再也不能飞翔。有时候,挣扎正是我们需要经历的,它会使我们变得强壮。

　　1.B　根据下文中的“who loved everything”及第二段中的“the nice old man”可知,他是一位心地善良的老人,应选B项。

　　2.C　此处指老人在树林里散步的时候发现了一个蝴蝶的茧,因此使用while引导时间状语从句。

　　3.A　此处表示老人把茧带回家,故选A项。take sth.home“把某物带回家”,符合语境。

　　4.D　根据下文的“to force its body through that little hole”及倒数第三段的“the tiny opening”可知,几天后茧裂开了一道小缝,应选择D项。

　　6.A　根据下文“It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could”可知,蝴蝶好像已经用尽了全部力气,此处表示它好像“停”了下来,因此选择A项。

　　7.C　此处表示蝴蝶不能继续前进了,应选择C项,表示否定。

　　8.B　由文章内容可知,老人决定帮助“蝴蝶”从茧里出来,应选B项。

　　9.D　根据“so he took a pair of scissors”可知,老人用剪刀把茧剩余的部分剪破了。cut open“切开”,符合语境。

　　10.B　因老人把茧剪开了,所以蝴蝶很“容易”就出来了。

　　11.D　根据“it had a swollen body and small,shriveled wings”可知,此处表示转折,因此选择D项。

　　12.C　根据第三段中的“he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours”可知,此处指老人剪开茧后“继续”观察。

　　14.C　本句句意:事实上,这只蝴蝶在它的余生中只能拖着肿胀的身体和小而皱缩的翅膀爬行。

　　15.B　根据前文可知,这只蝴蝶永远也不能飞了。fly“飞,飞翔”,符合语境。

　　16.D　此处指茧的束缚和挣扎是必要的,应选D项。

　　17.B　此处指蝴蝶穿过(get through)小裂缝,破茧而出。

　　.【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　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　考查形容词。所填词在句中做表语,且主语I为表示人的词,所以填surprised,表示“吃惊的”。

　　3.including　考查。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。including“包括”符合句意。

　　4.one　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　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　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　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　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做heard的宾语,故应填what。

　　9.illness　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　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”。
