1．阅读理解
Gene technology to benefit people
Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(寿命) can be prolonged.
Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial(皇室) family being a good example, have hereditary(遗传的) diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep; therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.
（1）What does "these two killers" in the second paragraph refer to?
A. Gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.
B. The two murderers who killed the cloned baby.
C. The two diseases of cancer and heart disease.
D. Hereditary diseases and cancer.
（2）What's the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. How gene technology can be applied in the field of treating hereditary diseases.
B. Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.
C. Gene technology can help people to give birth of a baby.
D. Gene technology can help the English imperial family out.
（3）In what way gene technology can help to treat hereditary diseases?
A. Using gene technology, people with hereditary diseases can have more living days.
B. Using gene technology, scientist finds the wrong gene and corrects it.
C. Using gene technology, human babies can be cloned.
D. Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology.
（4）What is the main purpose of writing this passage?
A. Expressing the writer's idea that gene technology will benefit people
B. Telling people the advantages of gene technology
C. Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit people
D. Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity
【答案】（1）C
（2）A
（3）B
（4）A
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了基因技术，详细讲述了基因技术的好处。

（1）考查词义猜测。

根据第二段中的“The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease.”基因技术所能做的最伟大的事情就是治愈严重的疾病，而这些疾病是目前医生们几乎无能为力的，比如癌症和心脏病，及划线词所在句“Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers.”每年都有数百万人被这两名杀手杀害，可知，每年造成数百万人死亡的元凶就是癌症和心脏病。

由此可知，these two killers 指的是上文做的cancer and heart disease.故选C。

（2）考查主旨大意。

根据第三段中的“In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correc t it and a healthy child will be born.”在过去，医生对遗传病无能为力。

但是基因技术可以完美地解决这个问题。

科学家只需要找到错误的基因并加以纠正，一个健康的孩子就会诞生。

可知，第三段主要介绍了基因技术可以被应用于治愈家族病。

故选A。

（3）考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的“The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born”科学家只需要找到错误的基因和纠正它,和一个健康的孩子将出生，可知，利用基因技术，科学家发现错误的基因并加以纠正，这样就可以治愈家族病了。

故选B。

（4）考查推理判断。

根据标题“Gene technology to benefit people”基因技术造福人类；及最后一段中的“But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.”但我相信克隆婴儿不会大量出现，因为世界上大多数夫妇可以用非常正常的方式生育。

当然，政府必须小心控制基因技术，可知，文章主要表达作者了认为基因技术将造福人类的观点。

故选A。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测，推理判断和主旨大意四个题型的考查，是一篇科技类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

A science teacher from rural Kenya who gives away most of his salary to help poorer students has been awarded the world's best teacher and $ 1 million, beating 10,000 nominations from 179 countries. Peter Tabichi, 36, a maths and physics teacher at Keriko secondary school in Pwani
Village, has won the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize 2019.
Tabichi gives away 80% of his income to help the poorest students at the poorly-equipped and overcrowded school who could not otherwise afford uniforms and books. More than 90% of his students are from poor families and almost a third are orphans or have only one parent. Drug abuse, teenage pregnancies, leaving off their studies, young marriages and suicide are common. Students have to walk 7 km along roads that can become impassable in the rainy season to reach the school and the area can be affected by drought and starvation.
Despite only having one computer, a poor Internet connection and a student-teacher ratio of 58:1, Tabichi started a "talent nurturing club" and expanded the school's science club, helping students design research projects of such quality that many now qualify for national competitions. His students have taken part in international science competitions and won an award from the Royal Society of Chemistry after using local plant life to generate electricity. Tabichi and four colleagues also give struggling students one-to-one tuition in maths and science, visiting students' homes and meeting their families to identify the challenges they face.
Accepting the prize, Tabichi said Africa's young people would no longer be held back by low expectations." Africa will produce scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs whose names will be one day famous in every corner of the world." he said.

3．阅读理解
If you love eating and drinking for free and are looking to make some pocket money, there's a job in China with your name on it. A new type of online service allows people to hire others to eat or drink their favorite treats, either to cure their boredom or satisfy their appetite without the calories that usually come with it.
Chinese media recently reported on an increasingly popular service on online platform Taobao that's as startling as it is appealing. People can now go online and hire others to consume certain foods and drinks, and ask them to provide video evidence of them eating or drinking the said treats.
Fees usually range from two to nine yuan ($0.30 - $1.35) plus the cost of the food. It's not exactly a get-rich-quick job, but there are quite a rot of people willing to do it for the free treats alone.
"Bubble tea drinking" is a particularly popular service, as the chewy tapioca(木薯粉)balls and popping drink is all the rage in Asia these days, but there are also ads from people willing to eat
fried chicken or hot pot for anyone willing to pay for them.
Advertised as being "fat-free" and "free of queues" those who pay for the service will receive the full experience, which includes a 360-degree video of the drink, photos, and a detailed description. Prices of the service are based on the drink's sweetness level, its price, and popularity. Some clients even require a short written review to be sure that the person they hired actually does what they are supposed to.
Sellers explained that most customers buy their "Bubble tea drinking" service maybe because they're trying to shake off desires while they're on a diet. Drinking bubble tea by proxy may help customers avoid high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and other health problems that the sugar-laden drink may cause.
So why would anyone pay a total stranger to enjoy a treat rather than consume it themselves? Well, apparently, the online service is so cheap that some people simply do it out of boredom, while others get satisfaction from watching others indulge in their favorite treats.
This indulging-by-proxy service(代享受服务)has received a lot of attention on social media in China, with some people describing it as the job of their dreams.
（1）What kind of people may buy the new type of online service?
A. Those who are boring.
B. Those who are trying to lose weight.
C. Those who love eating and drinking for free.
D. Those who are looking to make some pocket money.
（2）Which is the reason for many people being willing to be hired for the new job?
A. That they can make a fortune.
B. That the foods and drinks are cheap.
C. That they can consume the treats for free.
D. That they can realize their dreams.
（3）Why does the author mention "bubble tea drinking" in Paragraph 4?
A. To prove that the new type of service online is popular.
B. To list an example of the new type of service online
C. To show bubble tea is greatly welcome in Asia.
D. To promote the new type of service online.
（4）What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Indulging-by-proxy service online helps lose weight.
B. Boredom leads to indulging-by-proxy service online.
C. People hold different opinions on indulging-by-proxy service online.
D. Indulging-by-proxy service online is getting increasingly popular.
【答案】（1）B
（2）C
（3）B
（4）D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一种代享受服务在中国的社交媒体上引起了很多关注，网上代享受服务越来越受欢迎。

（1）考查推理判断。

根据第一段中的“A new type of online service allows people to hire others to eat or drink their favorite treats, either to cure their boredom or satisfy their appetite
without the calories that usually come with it.”一种新型的在线服务允许人们雇佣他人来吃或喝他们最喜欢的食物，既可以治愈他们的无聊，也可以满足他们的胃口，而不需要那些通常伴随而来的卡路里。

可知，那些试图减肥的人可能会购买这种新型的在线服务，故选B。

（2）考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的“It's not exactly a get-rich-quick job, but there are quite a rot of people willing to do it for the free treats alone.”这并不是一个快速致富的工作，但有相当一部分人愿意为了免费的款待而去做。

可知，许多人愿意接受这份新工作的原因是他们可以免费享用美食，故选C。

（3）考查推理判断。

根据第四段中的“Bubble tea drinking" is a particularly popular service, as the chewy tapioca(木薯粉)balls and popping drink is all the rage in Asia these days, but there are also ads from people willing to eat fried chicken or hot pot for anyone willing to pay for them.““泡茶喝”是一项特别受欢迎的服务，因为这种耐嚼的木薯球和弹出式饮料最近在亚洲风靡一时，但是也有一些广告是关于愿意吃炸鸡或火锅的人的。

由此推断出，作者在第四段中提到“泡茶喝”是举出了一个新的网上服务的例子，故选B。

（4）考查主旨大意。

最后一段”This indulging-by-proxy service（代享受服务）has received a lot of attention on social media in China, with some people describing it as the job of their dreams.“这种代享受服务在中国的社交媒体上引起了很多关注，一些人把它描述为他们梦想中的工作，是全文的主题句，结合全文内容，可知这篇文章主要讲了网上代享受服务越来越受欢迎，故选D。

5．阅读理解
When you live in total messiness—cookies in your pants draws, and some old New Yorkers or apple seeds in your bed—it's hard to know where to look for when you lose your keys. The other day, after two weeks of searching, I found my keys in the refrigerator. I can't say I was surprised. But I was surprised when I was diagnosed with ADHD(多动症), when I was a junior at Yale.
According to a new study, 11% of school-age children have received an ADHD diagnosis, a 16% increase since 2007. And rising diagnoses mean rising treatments—drugs like Adderall are more accessible than ever. However, the consequences of misuse and abuse of these drugs are dangerous.
Yet also harmful are the consequences of ADHD undiagnosed, an all-too-common story for women like me, who have symptoms, like disorganization and forgetfulness, which look different from those typically expressed in males.
Dr. Ellen, author of Understanding Girls with ADHD, has found around 4 million females with ADHD are not diagnosed. "The main reason is that the diagnostic criteria were developed based on those hyperactive（过度活跃）young boys taken to clinics, making it difficult for girls to be diagnosed unless they behave like hyperactive boys." Ellen says.
Besides, the idea that young women actually have ADHD often causes skepticism. As a top student, I didn't believe my diagnosis at first. My friends were also confused, and rather certain my doctor was misguided.
"Often, if girls are smart or in supportive homes, symptoms are masked," Dr.Ellen says. "Girls will hide their inability to meet social expectations. They see their trouble organizing, and concentrating as character flaws(缺陷)."
These years, I am both embarrassed and exhausted by my struggles to keep track of objects, but drug has helped it and made it more bearable.
（1）The writer presents the first paragraph to .
A. air her view with an example
B. bring up the topic of the passage
C. show young people's messiness
D. prove Yale also has ADHD students
（2）Many female with ADHD are not diagnosed mainly because .
A.the diagnostic criteria are made according to male ADHD
B.they are smart enough to mask their ADHD symptoms
C.they don't view their trouble as symptoms of ADHD
D.women ADHD are more hyperactive than young boys
（3）What does the word "skepticism" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.panic.
B.stubbornness.
C.debate.
D.doubt.
（4）What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.Why female ADHD patients develop the disease.
B.Why many female ADHD patients are undiagnosed.
C.How young ADHD patients are cured of the disease.
D.How much help ADHD patients can get from medication.
【答案】（1）B
（2）A
（3）D
（4）B
【解析】【分析】文章借由作者的亲身经历讲述女性多动症不容易被诊断出来的原因。

（1）推理判断题。

根据文章第一段的结构和But I was surprised when I was diagnosed with ADHD（多动症）,when I was a junior at Yale.以及下文关于多动症的内容可知，作者讲述第一段的目的是为了引出下文关于多动症的话题，故选B项。

（2）细节理解题。

根据文章第四段的The main reason is that the diagnostic criteria were developed based on those hyperactive（过度活跃）young boys taken to clinics, making it difficult for girls to be diagnosed unless they behave like hyperactive boys.可知诊断多动症的标准是基于过度活跃的年轻男孩来制定的，所以很难诊断出女孩，除非她们的行为像过度活跃的男孩，故选A项。

（3）词义猜测题。

根据画线部分后面的As a top student, I didn't believe my diagnosis at first.My friends were also confused, and rather certain my doctor was misguided.可知作者一开始不相信多动症的诊断结果，她的朋友也很困惑，认为是医生诊断错误，即她们都怀疑医生的诊断，故推测画线部分的意思是"怀疑"，故选D项。

（4）主旨大意题。

文章第三段主要讲述女性多动症的症状和男性不同；第四段主要讲述女孩很难被诊断出多动症，因为诊断标准是按男性制定的；第五段主要讲述女性自己会怀疑诊断结果；第六段主要讲述女性会把多动症症状隐藏起来。

综上所述，本文主要讲述女性不容易被诊断出多动症的原因，故选B项。

【点评】考查阅读理解。

本文涉及细节理解题、推理判断题、词义猜测题和主旨大意题，细节理解题要注意从文中寻找答案；推理判断题需要联系上下文，推断出需要的信息；词义猜测题要结合划线词所在语境，推测词义；主旨大意题需要通读全文，了解大意之后找出中心思想
6．阅读理解
For most of us, work is the central, dominating fact of life. We spend more than half our conscious hours at work, preparing for work, traveling to and from work. What we do there largely determines our standard of living and our status to a considerable extent. It is sometimes said that because leisure has become more important, the injustices of work can be pushed into a corner, and that because most work is pretty intolerable, the people who do it should compensate for its boredom, frustrations and humiliations by concentrating their hopes on the
other parts of their lives. For the foreseeable future, however, the material and psychological rewards which work can provide will continue to play a vital part in determining the satisfaction that life can offer.
Yet only a small minority can control the pace at which they work or the conditions where their work is done; only for a small minority does work offer scope for creativity, imagination or initiative.
Inequality at work is still one of the most glaring (明显的) forms of inequality in our society. We cannot hope to solve the more obvious problems of industrial life, many of which arise from the frustrations created by inequality at work, unless we handle it determinedly.
The most glaring inequality is that between managers and the rest. For most managers, work is an opportunity and a challenge. Their jobs engage their interest and allow them to develop their abilities. They are constantly learning. They are able to exercise responsibility. They have a considerable degree of control over their own and others' working lives. Most important of all, they have opportunities to initiate. By contrast, for most manual workers, work is a boring, dull, even painful experience. They spend all their working lives in intolerable conditions. The majority have little control over their work. It provides them with no opportunity for personal development. Many jobs are so routine that workers feel themselves to be mere cogs (齿轮) in the bureaucratic machine. As a direct consequence of their work experience, many workers feel alienated (疏远) from their work and their firm.
（1）In the writer's opinion, people judge others mainly by ________.
A. the type of work they do
B. the place where they work
C. the time they spend at work
D. the amount of money they earn
（2）According to the writer, to solve problems in an industrial society, we ________.
A. should create more working opportunities for the poor
B. have to get rid of the unequal aspects in work
C. had better cancel all managing positions in a company
D. should encourage the manual workers to promote efficiency
（3）What advantage does the writer say managers have over workers?
A. They won't be out of work.
B. They get time off to learn constantly.
C. They can work at what interests them.
D. They have complete control over themselves.【答案】（1）A
（2）B
（3）C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，工作是人们生活的中心和主导，工作也给人们带来很多的问题。

作者论述了这些问题。

（1）考查推理判断。

根据第一段中的”What we do there largely determines our standard of living and our status to a considerable extent.“我们在那里的所作所为在很大程度上决定了我们的生活水平和地位，可推知，别人会根据我们的工作来评判我们。

故选A。

（2）考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的”We cannot hope to solve the more obvious problems of industrial life, many of which arise from the frustrations created by inequality at work, unless we handle it determinedly.“我们不能指望解决工业生活中更明显的问题，其中许多问题是由
工作中的不平等造成的挫折引起的，除非我们坚决地处理它，可知，我们的工作存在很多不公平的现象，除非我们坚决抵制。

故选B。

（3）考查细节理解。

根据最后一段中的”Their jobs engage their interest and allow them to develop their abilities.“他们的工作激发了他们的兴趣，使他们得以发展自己的能力，可知，他们可以从事自己感兴趣的工作。

故选C。

7．阅读理解
Families around the country are finding new options for their children's midday meal thanks to a growing number of delivery options catering to students. Kiddos Catering in Chicago adopts a method of providing restaurant meals to schools that contract with it. Owner Michelle Moses and her staff work with area restaurants to create a variety of kid-friendly choices and deliver the meals to the schools five days a week. Parents select the lunches from an online order form that lists the day's featured restaurant and its menu choices.
"Each day is a different restaurant with six to 10 menu options," she said. "It offers so much choice to kids." The service appeals to parents because they think their children are less likely to toss out restaurant food than a packed lunch, Ms. Moses said. The schools appreciate that Moses handles the ordering, payment, pickup, and food distribution in the cafeteria. "Schools really want to be in the business of educating kids," she said. "They don't want to be in the food and beverage(餐饮) business."
That doesn't mean that schools always like it when teens (or parents) take it upon themselves to order food through phone apps. Many schools have banned that practice, citing safety concerns about delivery drivers showing up at school unannounced and the burden of tracking down students to alarm them that their meals have arrived.
"These types of deliveries pose an unnecessary security risk for students and staff," said Bernard Watson, director of community relations for Gwinnett County Public Schools in Suwanee, Ga. "In addition, our award-winning school nutrition program provides students with a wide variety of tasty, nutritious meals on-site, so there is no need to order food from outside."
Jacob Levin, a recent graduate of Bexley High School in Bexley, Ohio, relied on a sub shop to deliver a sandwich to him during lunchtime meetings or other appointments that conflicted with his lunch period. "It was a convenient option. In most cases, I would not have been able to eat at school if it weren't for the delivery option," he said. "Having a restaurant-quality sub also was much more enjoyable than cafeteria food."
（1）What can we learn about Kiddos Catering?
A. It should be ordered online.
B. It is a non-profit food program.
C. It delivers the meals to the schools twice a day.
D. It mainly offers the featured dishes of a restaurant.
（2）What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The aim of the food and beverage business.
B. A suitable time for school meals.
C. Advantages of the delivering school lunch.
D. An alternative to the school cafeteria.
（3）What is Bernard Watson's concern for delivering food?
A. It's less healthy than that in the school cafeteria.
B. It causes a potential danger to students.
C. It attracts students' attention to study.
D. Its arrival is usually not punctual.
（4）What is Jacob Levin's attitude to the change of the school lunch?
A. Neutral.
B. Careless.
C. Supportive.
D. Unfavorable.
【答案】（1）A
（2）C
（3）B
（4）C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文。
