第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40 分）
第一节（共15 小题；每小题2分，满分30 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳答案。

A
Bigger isn’t always better. People who are skeptical about this argument just need to look at personal computers. It is the continual shrinkage of components that have brought about the explosion of computing power and enabled these computers to be accessible to people across the world.
Inspired by this, researchers have been working on areas where making things small may mean big results. And this year, the Nobel Prize has challenged the convention of celebrating big by presenting the biggest prizes to discoveries on the smallest scales.
The committee presented the Nobel Prize for medicine to Yoshinori Ohsumi of the Tokyo Institute of Technology, for his research on “autophagy”, which is a “self-eating” process seen in cells.
What’s more, in recognition of their working on the unique nature of matter in extreme states and taking their research all the way down to an atomic scale, the Nobel Prize for physics was awarded to three British-born scientists who presently work in the US.
Another exceptional new field is that of nanotechnology（纳米技术）. The Nobel Prize for chemistry was awarded to a scientist who managed to build the world’s tiniest machines out of molecules（分子）, including a nano-sized car, which are so small that they are not seen by the human eye.
Small as the subjects are, the benefits of the scientists’ research are set to be huge. More importantly, their inventions may even eventually be turned into products that benefit mankind.
Ohsumi’s research on “autophagy” shines a light on common diseases such as Parkinson’s and diabetes. As for the molecular motors, they’re preparing to bring huge potential to the fields of medicine and energy. “Th e
ground-breaking discoveries in physics have lighted a firestorm of research, and it’s only a matter of time before their research leads to advances as unimaginable to us now as computer chips were a hundred years ago,” Laura H. Greene, president-elect of the American Physical Society told The New York Times.
21. The underlined word “shrinkage” in Paragraph 1 probably means .
A. reducing the size
B. cutting down the cost
C. improving the quality
D. strengthening the function
22. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Nano-sized cars are now popular all over the world.
B. Ohsumi's research has helped cure some common diseases.
C. Three scientists have made a great breakthrough in atomic energy.
D. The Nobel Prize used to have a preference for findings on big scales.
23. What is Laura H. Greene’s attitude to the new discoveries in physics?
A. Positive
B. Doubtful
C. Reserved
D. Concerned.
24. What is the message the passage conveys?
A. Great minds think alike.
B. Small things make a big difference.
C. Many small streams make a great river.
D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
B
Romy McCloskey’s mother who has passed away once said that butterflies were a sign she would always be with her. Decades later, those words helped McCloskey to perform a great act. As a fashion designer, she used her skills to repair the broken wing of a Monarch butterfly and shared the results online.
McCloskey started caring for Monarch butterflies this past autumn after finding a number of them in her backyard, and then she began to raise Monarch butterflies in memory of her mother. Recently, she found a three-day-old Monarch with a badly damaged wing, suffering the injury during its development. Most butterflies depend on their wings being the same shape to help in their flight, and with a lifespan of just two to six weeks, this Monarch had little chance of survival. Determined to help the broken Monarch, McCloskey thought she was up to the task after watching an ins tructional video on the procedure. “I figured, since I do so much designing, cutting and putting together of costumes… I could give this a go,” she told .
McCloskey goes on to secure the Monarch with a bent wire hanger, cutting away the damaged pieces, which she says is “like cutting hair or nails” and causes no pain to the butterfly. After applying the wing from a dead butterfly she had found the week before, McCloskey shows the Monarch almost as good as new. “A quick spin around the backyar d, then a little rest on one of the bushes… and then off he flew!” the designer said. “My heart soared with him, for sure!”
McCloskey said that she hopes the instructions will encourage others to help injured butterflies, but warns “that you have a steady hand or you could cause more harm than good.”
25.Why did McCloskey raise Monarch butterflies?
A.To earn much more money.
B. To memorize her late mother.
C. To get inspiration from butterflies.
D. To perform a good act of kindness.
26. What did McCloskey decide to do after seeing the injured Monarch?
A. Help it by doing an operation.
B. Let it fly by setting it free.
C. Watch an instructional video.
D. Design a new wing for it.
27. What did McCloskey feel seeing the Monarch fly?
A. Heart broken.
B. Too regretful.
C. Much excited.
D. Very helpless.
28. What does the last paragraph suggest?
A. People good at designing can give a butterfly an operation.
B. Anyone should have a health check before raising butterflies.
C. Everyone can help Monarch butterflies by using her method.
D. People with a shaking hand can do more harm to the butterflies.
C
The museum reflects the important role Mail Rail played in the distribution of the country’s post with an underground train ride and exhibitions.
Few visitors to London realize that the Underground isn’t the only subway train beneath the streets of the British capital. 70 feet below ground level was built as a vital artery( 干线 ) for Britain’s postal system for 75 years. The service was the world’s first driverless electric railway when it opened in 1927—an ancient DLR of sorts—introduced as a response to heavy traffic on the streets of London, which was delaying the delivery of post. The railway was closed in 2003 but a section of it will reopen on 28 July as part of the new Postal Museum.
In contrast to the letters and packages the former railway transported, the new version will carry visitors through the tunnels, providing them with a 15-minute underground ride. The tunnels are a site of history and mystery: urban legend says that they were used to hide the Rosetta Stone during the first world war, and more recently they were discovered and illegally explored by the Consolidation Crew, a group of “place hackers” committed to discovering and doc umenting the world’s restricted spaces. The reopening provides an opportunity for the public to learn about the city’s underground heritage(遗产) first hand.
The Postal Museum features an exhibition on Mail Rail, explaining its beginning, maintenance and legacy and also spotlighting the stories of individuals whose lives were connected to the system. The museum serves up a healthy dose of nostalgia( 怀旧 ), particularly in an age of almost immediate communication via email, messages and various social netwo rks. It’s now been opened up to the paying public.
Admission(exhibitions and mail ride) adults £14.50, children (1-15) £7.25, . Open daily
10am-5pm (except 24-26 December)
29. For what reason was the first driverless electric railway built in London?
A.Delivering the post without delay.
B. Reducing the heavy traffic on the streets.
C. Attracting more tourists to London.
D. Promoting the rate of employment.
30. What effect does the reopening of the railway have?
A.The delivery of letters and packages in London will be delayed.
B.Children will be educated about the museum in the play places.
C.People will learn about the city’s underground heritage first hand.
D.A lot of treasures will be illegally explored by some place hackers.
31. How much should you pay if you and your 12-year-old son enter the museum?
A. £14.50.
B. £21.75.
C. £29.
D. £7.25.
D
When Noah Shulman was born a few days after Christmas 2016, his parents Kristelle and Evan had no reason to worry about him. Everything went smoothly. But within a few days of taking his first breath, Noah began to struggle. After a painful month of medical emergencies, the Shulmans learned that their son had a rare genetic disease that affected his mitochondria (线粒体). Unfortunately, there are no treatments for mitochondrial disorders, as it’s not yet possible to repair or alter the affected mitochondrial genes using gene therapy (疗法).
Although told by doctors that they wouldn’t have a healthy biological child, and exploring options like adopting, the Shulmans weren’t ready to give up on having biological children. Then they learned about mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT), a promising innovation in fertility (生育) treatments which is considered as a form of genetic editing. It involves replacing just the mutated (突变) mitochondria with healthy mitochondrial DNA from a donor, while keeping the biological mother’s and father’s DNA complete.
“We are breaking down a barrier that has certainly never been crossed before,” says Dr. Michio Hirano, medical director of the laboratory of molecular genetics at Columbia University, who plans to perform MRT for the Shulmans as part of a study. “Clearly biologically the embryo or person generated has three different sources of DNA, and that’s a unique or novel concept.”
Scientists like Hirano and families like the Shulmans are far more comfortable with that than are policymakers. Federal policy not only prevents scientists from using government money for research on human embryos, but also prohibits the Food and Drug Administration from even accepting applications to consider approving the procedure. That’s why Hirano found private funding for his study, which the Shulmans and five other couples have joined. Even so, he can only perform MRT; he cannot transfer the embryos for pregnancy ( 受孕). They remain frozen until policies change. “Right now we are in suspension with these embryos,” he says. “We can’t move forward until we have permission to move forwar d.”
Many researchers argue that universal dismissal of any research involving genetic alteration of human embryos, like MRT, closes off valuable work that could lead to treatments for diseases. But they also acknowledge that some fast-moving scientists overseas, who are already introducing permanent genetic changes in embryos, may be going too far, as it’s not yet clear how safe and effective these interventions are. In November, a Chinese bioengineer alarmed both the scientific community and the public when he announced he had used a powerful but still untested gene-editing tool called CRISPR to introduce a genetic change in twin girls when they were embryos to make them resistant to HIV infection. CRISPR’s developers noted that the long-term implications of editing the human genome aren’t known, and stood by their previous call for a voluntary moratorium ( 暂停) on work on genetically editing human embryos that will be transferred for pregnancy.
Kristelle and Evan will still have to wait but they believe that time will have been well spent if it leads to new ways for people to have families. “Even if it doesn’t work out for us now, we hope one day it will for everyone affected by mitochondrial disease s,” says Kristelle.
32. Which of the following about MRT is TRUE according to the passage?
A. A person doesn’t necessarily need a donor to receive MRT.
B. It edits the biological parent s’DNA completely.
C. An embryo is produced by using three sources of DNA.
D. It successfully helps couples like the Shulmans have healthy babies.
33. What can we learn from Paragraph 4 ?
A. Scientists can’t use government fund to do research on human embryos.
B. The Shulmans and five other couples have funded Hirano’s study.
C. It has a long way to go before human embryos are created.
D. Significant changes will soon be made to federal policy.
34. Why does the author mention what the Chinese bioengineer has done?
A. To criticize the Chinese bioengineer for his irresponsibility.
B. To prove that genetic editing can prevent some deadly diseases.
C. To justify the universal dismissal of any research on altering genes.
D. To show researchers’concern over the long-term influence of editing genes.
35. The passage is mainly about .
A. an appeal against genetic editing
B. a new frontier in fertility treatment
C. a controversial policy under discussion
D. an anxious couple seeking fertility treatment

Why Video Games Can Be Beneficial to Kids
As parents, we focus more attention on the potential dangers than on the potential benefits of electronic video games. 36 If you know what to look for, video games can be a powerful tool to help children develop certain life skills.
37 They can help children’s brain development. When a young adolesc ent play Legend of Zelda games, he had to search, negotiate, plan, and try different approaches to advance. Many recent games, such as Bakugan: Defenders of the Core, involve planning and problem-solving.
In contrast to their parents, most young kids see video games as a social activity, not an isolating one. 38 They allow kids to hang out and provide structured time with friends. Boys were more likely to play video games with a group of friends, either in the same room or online.
Video games provide an opportunity to teach. Roughly one-third of the children said they played video games in part because they liked to teach others how to play. Some children gain status as the “go-to” kid who knows how to beat the toughest parts of a game. 39
Recently, I watched a friend’s 10-year-old daughter teach her how to play Guitar Hero. The game happened to include favorite songs from my friend’s teen and college years, which helped draw her in. The best part was seeing the daughter become an expert and share gaming skills with her mom. 40 In turn, it may encourage your child to share her problems and successes with you.
A.Video games teach problem-solving skills and creativity.
B.However, these games are a normal part of modern childhood.
C.Playing a video game side-by-side encourages easy conversation.
D.Boys at school mostly talked about “girls and games—the two Gs.”
E.Video games can be beneficial to your child’s growth and e ducation.
F.Video games create a common ground for young kids to make friends.
G.Teaching others builds social and communication skills, as well as patience.

Dear Peter,
How is everything? I am glad to receive your letter and I am writing to offer some advice.
In your letter, you said that you are going to take part in a Chinese speech contest, and you are a little nervous. I think it would help you if you prepared fully in advance because it is of great importance to do so. You can make a speech in front of the mirror or your family members to reduce your nervousness. And during the speech you should have confidence in yourself and keep smiling. In order to give the judges a good impression, you should use concise language and continue to speak even if you forget some words. The judges will prefer speakers who are confident in themselves. I hope you will succeed in the contest. I firmly believe you are the b est.
I would be very happy if my advice could be helpful. Wish you good luck!
You
