11、und in wheat.But in people with celiac disease(乳糜瀉)，gluten damages the small intestine(腸).Many others may have milder gluten intolerance and avoid foods that contain it.Most gluten-free bread is made from alternative flours such as rice or potato，so it tastes and feels different from wheat bread.Now

12、，however，researchers say that they have found a way to genetically engineer wheat that contains far less of the most troublesome type of glutenbut still has other proteins that give bread its characteristic taste and springiness.Genetically modified crops are the subject of fierce debate around the

13、world.The biggest concern involves the practice of inserting DNA from one species into another，says Francisco Barro，a plant biotechnologist.To avoid this genetic crossover，Barro and his colleagues used the gene-editing technique CRISPRCas9 to cut selected genes from a wheat genome(基因組).Their study z

14、eroed in on alpha-gliadins(-膠質(zhì)蛋白)，gluten proteins believed to be wheats major troublemakers in the immune system.The researchers designed bits of genetic material that directed the scissor-like Cas9 protein to cut out 35 of the 45 alphagliadin genes.When the modified wheat was tested in a Petri dish

15、，it produced an 85 percent weaker immune response，the team reported online last September in Plant Biotechnology Journal.Wendy Harwood，a crop geneticist at the John Innes Center in England，who was not part of the study，notes that the engineered wheat has a long way to go before it can be turned into

16、 anything marketable.“I dont think its the end of the story.”she says.“This is just a really important step in maybe producing something that is going to be incredibly useful.”To develop a completely safe strain of wheat for celiac patients，the researchers may need to target more of the gluten genes

17、.Barro says his team is working on that.1、Whats the text mainly about?AMaking glutenfree bread.BAdvantages of gluten-free wheat.CDebate about genetically modified crops.DDeveloping genetically engineered wheat.2、Why is bread mentioned in paragraph 1?ATo advertise a new study.BTo raise the topic to b

20、o this end he has created a simple accessory called the Focus CapOpen work spaces definitely have their benefits，but they come with the drawback of offering employees little to no control over visual distractions(干擾)With so many people around and so much going on，some of us can easily get disturbed

21、by this information overload and lose focus in whats really importantThats where the Focus Cap comes into play“As we are still cavemen or mammals kept in an unnatural environment，I believe that only by reclaiming(收回) the normal，stress-free human state through simple tools and techniques can we final

22、ly release our actual creative potential and create our meaningful work for a brighter future，”says German designer Hannes Greblin，inventor of the Focus CapAfter looking at other products designed at minimizing visual distractions，Greblin decided that most of them were either too expensive or too un

23、comfortable to become mainstream，so he decided to go with something much simpler a simple cap with a retractable visor(可伸縮的帽沿)Greblins Focus Cap is really straightforwardYou just wear it like a regular cap with the sides of the visor retracted，and just collapse the sides whenever you need to focus o

28、d their parents should be there to help them.A proper book classification system would be of great help in this regard, since most parents do not know which books suit their childrens reading levels the most. An effective classification system for childrens books would help overcome this problem.Chi

29、nese bookstores, online or offline, still prefer to use age rather than reading ability to categorize what they sell. In fact, reading ability and interests vary from child to child even when they are at the same age. This early form of classification is accepted by most bookstores and publishers, y

30、et many young readers get books that are nowhere near their targeted reading levels.China has at least 200 million children under the age of 14, and their enthusiasm for reading has increased over the years. The publishers of childrens books should try to introduce a juvenile-centered classification

31、 system to help their readers choose books that are suitable for their reading abilities.Some dont trust the call for more effective book classification, mentioning the need for youngsters to read extensively and avoid restricting themselves to one or two categories. There is a strong case for resis

32、ting selective reading, but not book classification, which is designed to help young children develop good reading habits and hold onto them in the long run.Studies have found that kids are less likely to be into reading if they have not developed such a habit before the age of 10. That said, it is

33、in their best interests to adopt targeted reading during childhood, as this can greatly improve their comprehension abilities. So greater efforts should be put into designing a book classification system that meets the needs of young readers.1、A proper book classification system should _.Abe on an a

DUnconcerned.24（8分）Not so long ago,most people didnt know who Shelly Ann Francis Pryce was going to become.She was just an average high school athlete.There was every indication that she was just another American teenager without much of a future.However,

37、one person wants to change this.Stephen Francis observed then eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann as a track meet and was convinced that he had seen the beginning of true greatness.Her time were not exactly impressive, but even so,he seemed there was something trying to get out,something the other coaches

38、had overlooked when they had assessed her and found her lacking.He decided to offer Shelly Ann a place in his very strict training seasons. Their cooperation quickly produced results,and a few year later at Jamaicas Olympic games in early 2008,Shelly Ann,who at that time only ranked number 70 in the

39、 world,beat Jamaicas unchallenged queen of the sprint（短跑）.Where did she come from?asked an astonished sprinting world,before concluding that she must be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time,only to disappear again without signs.But Shelly Ann was to prove that she was anythi

40、ng but a one-hit wonder.At the Beijing Olympic she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold.She did it again one year on at the World Championship in Briton,becoming world champion with a time of 10.7

41、3the fourth record ever.Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile.She has a mental toughness that did not come about by chance. Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but smooth and effortless,She grew up in one of Jamaicas toughest inner-city communities known as W

42、aterhouse,where she lived in a one-room apartment, sleeping four in a bed with her mother and two brothers.Waterhouse,one of the poorest communities in Jamaica,is a really violent and overpopulated place.Several of Shelly-Anns friends and family were caught up in the killings;one of her cousins was

43、shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived.Sometimes her family didnt have enough to eat.She ran at the school championships barefooted because she couldnt afford shoes.Her mother Maxime,one of a family of fourteen,had been an athlete herself as a young girl but,like so many other girls

44、in Waterhouse,had to stop after she had her first baby.Maximes early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouses roundabout of poverty.One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her

45、to the track,and she was ready to sacrifice everything.It didnt take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports could be her way out of Waterhouse.On a summer evening in Beijing in 2008,all those long,hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit.The barefoot kid who just a few years previous

46、ly had been living in poverty,surrounded by criminals and violence,had written a new chapter in the history of sports.But Shelly-Anns victory was far greater than that.The night,she won Olympic gold in Beijing,the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped.Th

47、e dark cloud above one of the worlds toughest criminal neighbourhoods simply disappeared for a few days.“I have so much fire burning for my country,”Shelly said.She plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in Waterhouse.She hopes to inspire the Jamaican

48、s to lay down their weapons.She intends to fight to make it a womans as well as a mans world.As Muhammad Ali puts it,Champions arent made in gyms.Champions are made from something they have deep inside them.A desire,a dream,a vision.One of the things Shelly-Ann can be proud of is her understanding o

49、f this truth.1、Why did Stephen Francis decide to coach Shelly-Ann?AHe had a strong desire to free her family from trouble.BHe sensed a great potential in her despite her weaknesses.CShe had big problems maintaining her performance.DShe suffered a lot of defeats at the previous track meets.2、What can

50、 we infer from Shelly-Anns statement underlined in Paragraph 5?AShe was highly rewarded for her efforts.BShe was eager to do more for her country.CShe became an athletic star in her country.DShe was the envy of the whole community.3、By mentioning Muhammad Alis words,the author intends to tell us tha

51、t_.Aplayers should be highly inspired by coachesBgreat athletes need to concentrate on patienceChard work is necessary in ones achievementsDmotivation allows great athletes to be on the top4、What is the best title for the passage?AThe Making of a Great AthleteBThe Dream for ChampionshipCThe Key to H

52、igh PerformanceDThe Power of Full Responsibility25（10分）Scientists have long been interested in the impact of early-life experiences on adult behavior, studying the phenomenon in monkeys and people. But hardly any studies had been done in dogs.Guide dogs presented a useful group to study for several

53、reasons. First, at The Seeing Eye, guide dog school in America, many puppies（幼犬）are raised in a single location under fairly controlled conditions. Second, the dogs have a clear measure of success: Either they graduate from the program to become a working guide dog or they are released. And third, s

54、uccess as a guide dog isnt easy; the dog must be willing and able to navigate a complex and often-unpredictable environment while remaining attentive to its owner.To gather information about the puppies early-life experiences, Emily Bray and a team of researchers at The Seeing Eyes breeding center t

55、ook video and closely observed 23 mothers and their 98 puppies for their first five weeks of life. “We wanted to know if we could separate the moms based on how they interacted with their puppies,” Bray said. “We recorded things like her nursing position, how much time she spent looking away from th

56、e puppies and how much time she spent in close proximity（臨近）to her puppies or licking them.”When the researchers tracked the puppies a couple of years down the line, they found that those with mothers that were more attentive were less likely to graduate from The Seeing Eyes training program to beco

57、me guide dogs. In particular, those dogs whose mothers nursed more often lying down, as opposed to sitting or standing up, were less likely to succeed.“If a mother is lying on her stomach, the puppies basically have free access to milk, but if the mother is standing up, then the puppies have to work

58、 to get it,” said Bray. “It seems that you have to provide your kids with minor obstacles（障礙）that they can overcome for them to succeed later in life because, as we know, life as an adult involves obstacles.”1、What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?AThe steps in training guide dogs.BHow the S

59、eeing Eye came into being.CWhy guide dogs are idea objects for study.DThe various features of dogs at the Seeing Eye.2、What did Bray and his team focus on in their study?AThe diets of the puppies.BThe body weights of the puppies.CThe way moms reacted to their puppies.DThe moms sensitiveness to surro

60、undings.3、Which puppies were more likely to become guide dogs?AThose with attractive mothers.BThose who were raised in a quiet place.CThose who were fed while lying down.DThose who were poorly attended by their mothers.4、Which of the following sayings does Bran seem to believe in?ANo sweet without s
