　　(2017皖南八校第三次联考，C)

　　BEIJING—China's Beijing and Shanghai cities and Guangdong Province on Sunday published plans to gradually allow migrant workers'(外来务工人员) children to enter senior high schools and sit college entrance exams locally.

　　They are the latest in a total of 13 provinces and municipalities(市) to formulate plans to ensure that rural children who have followed their parents to cities can enjoy the same rights as their urban peers in education.

　　Beijing will allow migrant workers' children to attend local vocational schools in 2017 and allow them to be matriculated by universities after graduating from the vocational programs in 2017, said a statement from the city's commission of education.

　　Shanghai took a step further, saying it will allow migrant children in the city to enter local senior high schools, vocational schools and sit college entrance exams (commonly known as gaokao) locally starting in 2017.

　　Guangdong has asked its cities to start recruiting(招收)migrant workers' children in local senior high schools in 2017. The province will allow these children to sit gaokao and compete with local residents on an equal feeting in college entrance starting in 2016, Luo said the restrictions would be relaxed gradually and “step by step” as the province must solve the conflict between its gigantic migrant population and a scarcity of education resources.

　　Migrant workers, whose children could be benefited by the new plans of the three regions, must have residential permits, stable jobs and incomes, and meet other local requirements, according to the plans.

　　China's hukou, or household registration system, used to confine children to attending schools in their home provinces. A 2003 regulation amended this by allowing migrant workers' children to receive the nineyear compulsory education in cities where their parents work.

　　Official figures show that China has more than 250 million farmersturnedworkers living in cities. An estimated 20 million children have migrated with their parents to the cities.

　　文章大意：在北京、上海和广东的务工子女，能够就地入学或高考了。

　　12．What's the best title of this passage?

　　A.China's educational reform on the way

　　B.Migrants' dreams come true

　　C.Reform plans published for migrant children's education

　　D.Migrants ask for equal rights in education

　　C.Beijing will allow migrant workers' children to enter

　　the local school in 2017.

　　D.Migrant workers' children began to receive senior high school education in cities where their parents work in 2003.

　　答案：B　细节理解题。由第二段的第一句得知B正确、A错误；由第三段得知C错误；由第七段中的A 2003 regulation ...to receive the nineyear compulsory education in cities where their parents work.得知D错误。

　　14．Which of the following words can the underlined word“confine” be replaced by?

　　A.limit

　　B．prevent

　　C．protect

　　D．resist

　　阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

　　(2017·深圳市二模，D)

　　Expensive perfumes (香水) come in tiny bottles, but many hide a whalesized secret.

　　To perfect a particular smell, perfumemakers often use an ingredient that comes from

　　sperm whales, called ambergris.

　　But using ambergris, which helps a perfume last longer, is

　　strongly opposed by many people who think it is wrong to kill whales just so we can smell sweet.

　　Joerg Bohlmann is neither a perfumer nor a whale expert. He's a plant biologist at the University

　　of British Columbia in Canada. But his discovery of a new plant gene (基因) might push whales

　　out of the perfume business.

　　The gene comes from fir trees, found throughout North America and commonly used as

　　Christmas trees.

　　The trees produce a chemical that can be used in perfume in place of

　　ambergris—but with_a_catch.

　　“There's a problem that many people wouldn't consider. In the tree, the chemical is mixed

　　with many others. That makes separation a challenge，” Bohlmann says. “It's like trying to isolate

　　sugar from a biscuit.”

　　This is where science becomes useful. When Bohlmann learned that fir trees produce the

　　ambergrislike chemical, he decided to use his gene knowhow to find the instructions for how to

　　make the ambergrissubstitute.

　　Bohlmann found that gene and took it out of the tree cells. Then he did something that might

　　sound strange to someone who doesn't work in genetics: Bohlmann put the gene from the tree

　　into yeast (酵母) cells.

　　Yeast may sound familiar because it's used to make things like bread, wine and beer.

　　Biologists like to work with yeast because it easily adopts new genes and changes its features and

　　behaviour. When Bohlmann put the fir tree gene into the yeast, the yeast started making the

　　same chemical that had been produced by the tree.

　　Perfumers pay big money for ambergris because it is a fixative, which means it holds a smell

　　in place on a person's body.

　　?Cheap perfumes smell good in the first hour or so and then everything is gone，” explains

　　Bohlmann. “But expensive perfumes are much more stable. Their smell lasts much longer, for

　　hours or even a day after you apply them.”

　　The new chemical, made from the tree genes, can be used as a fixative, too. And using

　　yeast to make it is far cheaper than acquiring ambergris.

　　Bohlmann admits he never thought he'd get into the perfume business. But now, he says,

　　producers have been calling to find out how to use his technology in new perfumes.

　　文章大意：本文是一篇科普说明文。介绍了一种使香水香味持久的物质——龙涎香，因这一物质来自于鲸，所以遭到人们的反对。科学家们发现一些树中的化学物质可以用来取代它，他们利用酵母菌成功制造出了这些化学物质。

　　16．It can be inferred from the passage that if a perfume contains ambergris, ________.

　　A．its user probably supports whale hunting

　　B．its smell will last for about an hour

　　C．there will be a whale symbol on the bottle

　　D．it is probably very expensive

　　答案：D　推理判断题。根据第二段第二句中“But using ambergris, which helps a perfume last longer...”以及倒数第三段中“But expensive perfumes are much more stable.”可知，含有龙涎香的香水价格昂贵，故D项正确；根据倒数第三段中“Their smell lasts much longer, for hours or even a day after you apply them.”可知，B项错误；根据第二段第二句中“is strongly opposed by many people who think it is wrong to kill whales...”可知，A项错误；C项文中未提及相关信息。

　　17．The underlined expression “with a catch” in Paragraph 3 means ________.

　　A．being difficult to hold

　　B．having a hidden problem

　　C．needing further testing

　　D．being too similar

　　答案：B　词义猜测题。根据第四段中“There's a problem that many people wouldn't consider.”可知，该词组意为“有隐含的问题”，故B项正确。

　　18．According to the passage, why are yeast cells often used in genetic research?

　　A．They can take on the characteristics of other genes.

　　B．They can reproduce much faster than other cells.

　　C．They share some of the qualities of plant genes.

　　D．They're much cheaper to use than ambergris.

　　答案：A　细节理解题。根据第七段第二句中“it easily adopts new genes and changes its features and behaviour.”可知，由于酵母菌容易吸收其他基因，并将目的基因成功表达出来，故常被用于基因工程研究中，故A项正确。

　　19．What can we learn about Joerg Bohlmann from the passage?

　　A．He is opposed to whale hunting.

　　B．He made his discovery during Christmas.

　　C．He has worked in the perfume industry for many years.

　　D．He has previously done genetic research.

　　答案：D　推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“But his discovery of a new plant gene (基因)．.. the perfume business.”及第三段表达的语境可知，Joery Bohlmann已经意识到，这些树中某些基因所产生的化学物质可以被用于香水中以代替龙涎香，但是这些化学物质和其他物质混合在一起，难以分离，故可以断定，Joerg Bohlmann曾经做过基因研究，故D项正确。

　　20．What is the best title for the passage?

　　A．The Christmas tree's secret.

　　B．The sweet smell of success.

　　C．Whalefree perfume.

　　D．Save the whale.

　　答案：C　标题概括题。根据文章第一段“Expensive perfumes (香水) come in tiny bottles, but many hide a whalesized secret.”及文章最后一句中“producers have been calling to find out how to use his technology in new perfumes.”可知，本文主要介绍了在香水中使用的龙涎香，这种价格昂贵的物质，最终被树中的某种化学物质成功取代。故C项为最佳标题。

　　每逢假期，清华、北大等多所国内知名高校都会迎来大批游客。不少高校为了限制客流不得不采取收费、规定开放日等各种措施，但这些闭门措施却引来不少争议。

　　请你以“Should universities limit the number of visitors？”为话题，写一篇英语短文，陈述你的观点，并给出合理的解释。

　　注意：词数100左右。

　　One Possible Version

　　Nowadays, it is becoming increasingly popular for tourists to visit famous universities such as Peking

　　University and Tsinghua University during the holidays. However,

　　some universities decide to limit the number of visitors，which has caused heated argument in China.

　　I think the number of tourists should be limited.

　　Here are my reasons:

　　first of all，there are too many tourists wandering through the school yard, teaching buildings, or even the library，which has a negative effect on the students who are absorbed in learning. Second，with so many tourists coming, it is harder for security guards to keep order. Third,

　　universities are designed to provide education rather than tourism service.

　　In summary, universities should limit the number of tourists to ensure a good

　　learning

　　environment.

　　How to Deal with the Garbage

　　With the improvement of the living standards of the people, more garbage is being produced in our life.

　　How to deal with it has become a serious challenge to

　　us.

　　Obviously, people seem to have got accustomed to littering in the streets.

　　In my opinion, the reason for the bad habit is that they haven't realized the

　　decrease of resources on earth. As a student, we should start from ourselves to

　　protect the earth and our limited resources. First, we should sort the garbage according to its nature.

　　In this way we can make full use of the renewable waste, thus enhancing the waste recovery rate. Second, it is essential to attach importance to environmental education, so that every child will become environmentally friendly. Finally, to encourage garbage classification, the government should seek better means.

　　It is high time that we made a joint effort to well deal with rubbish. Otherwise, we will run into trouble in the near future.

　　One possible version：

　　This_year,a_continuous_and_deadly__heat_wave_was_cooking_the_southern_parts_of_China.Since early July, about 19 provinces and regions including Anhui Province and Zhejiang Province were experiencing extreme heat，covering almost a third of the country.With temperatures in most areas of the south over 40℃，as many microblog posts and TV reports showed，it had been literally hot enough to fry an egg on the street, which is joked by the netizens as the “Sauna Days” or “Barbeque Days”．

　　In such extreme weather，however，it is wise and reasonable for us to stay in especially between 10 a．m. and 4 p．m.. But if we have to go out，we are supposed to take some effective measures such as putting on some sunscreen lotion or taking some special medicine to avoid the sunshine and heat. In addition，it is students' safety that also counts.Therefore，I sincerely suggest that students in the cities and in the countryside as well should keep away from the rivers and lakes.
