Questions 20
to 23 are based on the following
passage
.
White
rice is the world’s most popular form of rice. But
it goes through a milling process that removes
many nutrients
(营养成分)
. As a result, people
who eat a poor diet based on white rice may not
get enough vitamin A.
Each year about
250,000 to 500,000 children go blind from vitamin
A deficiency
. The World
Health Organization
(
WHO
)
says half of them die within a year of
losing their sight. Vitamin A deficiency is a
problem especially in Africa
and
Southeast Asia.
So scientists thought
of an answer. They combined white rice with plant
compounds that the body can change into
vitamin A. These plant colorings give
the rice a golden color.
The scientists
also thought of a plan to give away this Golden
Rice for free to poor farmers. But the rice cannot
be made
using traditional methods. The
scientists worked for ten years, until 1990, to
develop the technology to add genes to rice.
Then it took nine more years to get the
genes they wanted into the seed.
Professor Ingo Potrykus says rice with
two added genes will be available in 2013. One
gene comes from maize, or corn,
and the
other from a soil
bacterium
(细菌)
.Opponents say
such crops may cause environmental damage by
breeding with
other plants. Opponents
also question the safety of Golden Rice. However,
Mr. Potrykus says Golden Rice has never been
shown to be
unsafe for the environment or people. Many
agricultural organizations support the project.
20. What is the probable reason why
some people do not get enough Vitamin A?
A. Because they are short of food
C. Because white rice contains no
vitamin
B. Because they feed on white
rice
D. Because white rice has no
nutrients
.
D. shortage
21. The underlined word “deficiency” in
paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
A. addition
B. average
C. increase
22. When did the
scientists begin to develop the technology to add
genes to Golden Rice?
A. In 1980
B. In 1990
C. In 2000
D. In 2004
23. What is
professor Potrykus’s attitude towards the breeding
of Golden Rice?
A. Doubtful
B. Negative
C. Neutral
D. Positive
Question 24 to 27 are based on the
following passage.
Scientists can learn
about man by studying animals, such as mice, rats
and monkeys. The scientists in a laboratory are
experimenting on mice and they are
studying the relationship between diet and health.
In this experiment, the scientists are
studying the relationship between the amount of
food the mice can eat and their
health.
The mice are in three groups. All these groups are
receiving the same healthy diet. But the amount of
food that each
group is receiving is
different. The first group is eating one cup of
food each day, the second two cups, and the third
three
cups.
After three
years, the healthiest group is the one that is
only eating one cup of food each day. The mice in
this group are
thinner than normal mice
but they are more active. Most of the day, they
are running, playing with one another, and using
the
equipment in their cages. Also,
they are living longer. Mice usually live for two
years, while most of the mice in this group
are still alive after three years.
The second group of mice is of normal
weight. They are healthy, too. They are active,
but not as active as the thinner
mice.
But they are only living about two years.
The last group of mice is receiving
more food than the other two groups. Most of the
day, these mice are eating or
sleeping.
They are not active. These mice are living longer
than the scientists
thought
—
about a year and a
half, but they are
not healthy. The are sick more often
than the other two groups.
24. The
first group is the thinnest mainly because
run and play all day long
live longer than the other groups
.
eat only one
cup of food a day
are bored with the
kind of food in the cup
25. How long do
normal mice live according to the passage?
one year
a year and a half
two years
three years
26. What can we learn from the
experiment?
amount of food may
influence our health
ng may have
nothing to do with weight
27. This
passage is mainly about the relationship between
exercise may make us live longer
g with others may help us sleep better
.
and exercise
se and equipment
and health
and

Questions 28 to 31 are based on
the following passage.
The number of
international students at colleges and
universities in the United States has increased
continually for fifth
year.
The Institute of International
Education in New York released its annual”Open
Doors”
report this week. It says a
record of
more than 720,000 students
from other countries were studying in America
during the last school year. The number was 5%
higher than the year before and almost
one-third higher than ten years ago.
There were big increases from China,
Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Iran and Venezuela. Almost
22% of international students
were
Chinese, with increases especially at the
undergraduate level. Together, almost half of all
international students came
from China,
India and South Korea.
Peggy Blumenthal
at the institute says that Chinese students are
now studying throughout the United States. Twenty
years
ago, students from China only
knew of a handful of the US institutions, but now
they are admitted into the US community
colleges, small liberal arts
institutions, and research
universities
—
really spread
across the US. Ms. Blumenthal suggests that
one reason for the increase is a lack
of space in Chinese colleges for everyone who
wants an education. She says students
and their parents are also looking for
a different educational experience.
More international students study in
California than in any other states. For ten years
in a row, the University of Southern
California in Los Angeles led the
country, with more than 8,600 foreign students.
The most
popular area of study for international students
is business and management, followed by
engineering.
increases in the number of international students
were mainly from

passage?

Students in the US

Question 32 to 35 are based on the
following passage.
Step 1: Use open-
ended questions
For a conversation to
flow well, it’s important to ask open questions,
these often start with “how”,”when”,”why”, etc.
Try
to avoid asking closed
questions that can be answered with yes or no
answer, because closed question tend to kill the
conversation.
Step 2: Listen
actively
People speak at 100 to 175
words per minute, but they can listen
intelligently at up to 300 words per minute. Since
only
a part of our mind is paying
attention. It is easy to go into mind
drift
—
thinking about other
things while listening to someone.
The
cure for this is active listening, which involves
listening with a purpose.
Step 3:
Create a “cocoon”
If you’re
finding it particularly difficult to concentrate
on what someone is saying, try to imagine a
“cocoon” arou
nd
you and the
person you’re listening to. Imagine that the
cocoon is blocking out all outside
distractions(
干扰
), so you can
really focus on what they are saying.
Step 4: Engage with the other person
When someone is trying to get your
attention, or engage you in a conversation, don’t
turn your back on them, or answer
over your shoulder. Instead, turn and
face them, engage with them. Good communication is
when you really engage. When
you are
talking to people, observe your body language and
your tone of voice. Remember to use gestures, look
people in the
eye and smile when you talk unless you
are complaining about something.
of
the following questions tends to kill a
conversation according to the passage?
do you like reading novels?
do you
improve your reading skills?
do you
usually read?
you like reading science
fiction?
t does the
underlined phrase “mind drift”in Step 2 most
probably mean?
ng about
something else
g comfortable
ing with a purpose
ng slowly
is your purpose to engage with the
speaker in a conversation?
A. for the
tone of your voice
blocking
distractions
is the passage mainly
about?
