After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically

correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other

blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

It’s interesting when you think about how Japan is a nation (21) ______ appreciates the virtues of silence

and good manners, and yet when it comes to eating noodles, Japanese people can be (22) ______ (loud) in the

world.

According

to

lifestyle

website

,

slurping

(

发出

哧溜

声

)

when

eating

noodles

(23)

______

(encourage) in Japanese culture. It’

s believed that taking air into your mouth (24) ______ enhance the flavor of

the noodles, and that it helps cool down the noodles. It’s also considered to be a way to show appreciation for the

dish. Sometimes, just making the noise alone seems to make the noodles more enjoyable.

It wasn’t until a new expression –

“noodle

harassm ent

（骚扰）

”

-- came out last year on social media (25)

______ Japanese people started to realize that the slurping noise is making some foreign visitors uncomfortable.

(26) ______ a response, Japanese instant noodle maker Nissin introduced a so-called noise-canceling fork

last month. The fork, which looks like an electric toothbrush, is connected wirelessly to a smart phone. When the

person using the fork starts to slurp, the fork sends

a signal to the person’s phone, (27) ______ (make) it play a

sound to mask the slurping noise.

But is it really necessary? Dining traditions do vary. (28) ______ is considered to be proper table manners in

one country is likely to be seen as rude in another. In India, people eat with their hands (29) ______ they think in

this way they build a connection with the food. However, people who are used to eating with forks might find it

uncomfortable to get their hands (30) ______ (cover) in oil and bits of food. But this eating method is part of

Indian's culture, just like Japan's slurping is part of its own.

“So, if your are eating noodles, whether that’s ramen, uudon, or soba, please slurp,” wrote reporter Brian

Ashcraft on blog Kotaku. “If anyone gets annoy

ed while you are doing that, pay them no mind because they're

missing the point entirely.”

Scientists

have

developed

a

new

surgical

glue

that

could

transform

emergency

treatments

by

sealing

up

critical wounds in the skin or the organs, without the need for

staples or sutures

（钉合或缝合）

.

It’s called MeTro. It was developed by researchers from both Harvard Medical School and the University of

Sydney, led by Nasim Annabi, an assistant professor of chemical __31__. The glue is made from a

modified

（改

良的）

human protein that responds to UV light, allowing the application and drying of the gel-like substance in

just a minute.

According

to

the

international

team

of

researchers

behind

the

glue,

it

could

quite

literally

be

a

lifesaver,

sealing up wounds in 60 seconds without stopping the natural __32__

and relaxing of the organ or the skin it’s

applied

to.

Wounds

__33__

with

MeTro

can

heal

up

in

half

the

time

compared

with

stitches

or

staples,

the

researchers claim, and if surgery is required then MeTro can simplify that

__34__ too. It's also one of several

ways researchers are exploring to engineer our body's own natural substances to help repair it when needed.

3

The __35__ applications are powerful

–

from treating serious __36__ wounds at emergency sites such as

following car accidents and in war zones, as well as improving hospital surgeries.

MeTro

is

simple

to

apply,

can

be

easily

stored,

and

works

closely

with

natural

__37__

to

heal

a

wound.

What’s more, it degrades without leaving any kind of poisonous leftovers in the body.

For now the trials are __38__ to animal models. But human trials are in the works, and the results to date are

incredibly __39__. If the MeTro can be further developed into a __40__ product, it could become an essential

part of a first responder’s toolkit.

Section B

Directions:

Read

the

following

three

passages.

Each

passage

is

followed

by

several

questions

or

unfinished

statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according

to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

A Swedish power plant is taking reuse and recycle to the next level by burning unusable clothing instead of

coal, Bloomberg reports.

Retail giant Hennes & Mauritz, more commonly known as H&M, is helping the utility transition away from

coal through its

moldy

(

发霉的

) or otherwise unsalable clothing.

The

multi-fuel

power

and

heating

station

in

V?

ster?

s,

central

Sweden,

is

planning

to

be

completely

fossil-

fuel free by 2020. It’s the largest station of its kind and Sweden claims it’s one of Europe’s cleanest. To

kick its coal habit, the station is turning instead to other burnable materials including recycled wood, rubbish and

yes, clothes.

“Our

goal

is

to

use

only

renewable

and

recycled

fuels,”

Jens

Neren,

head

of

fuel

supplies

at

the

utility

company which owns and operates the V?

ster?

s plant, told Bloomberg.

Johanna Dahl, head of communications for H&M in Sweden, told Bloomberg that the company allows only

the burning of clothes which are no longer safe to use.

“It is our legal obligation to make sure that cloth

es that contain mold or do not meet the requirements of our

strict restriction on chemicals are destroyed,” she said.

The V?

ster?

s plant has burned around 15 tons of old H&M clothes so far this year, compared with about

400,000 tons of rubbish, Neren told Bloomberg.

Sweden

has

one

of

the

world’s

greener

energy

generating

systems,

and

has

invested

in

bioenergy,

solar

power and electric buses. In 2015, the Scandinavian country announced an ambitious aim to become one of the

first nations in the world to end its dependence on fossil fuels. According to the Swedish government, the country

has already heavily reduced its dependence on oil, which accounted for 75% of the energy supply in 1970, and

now makes up a 20% share.

56.

Which of the following can serve as fuel in the V?

ster?

s plant?

A. Fashionable coats in H&M chain store.

B. Old TV sets deserted as rubbish.

C. Wooden furniture in second- hand shop.

D. H&M clothes unsuitable for sale.

57.

The underlined word in the last paragraph “generating” is closest in m

eaning to ______.

A. eliminating

B. adjusting

C. producing

D. circulating

58.

What can we learn from the passage?

A. The Swedish government discourages the development of bioenergy.

B. Clothes only take up a small proportion of the burning material.

C. Sweden’s fossil

-fuel free plan is almost accomplished by now.

D. Sweden has an ambition to be the cleanest country in the world.

59.

What is the main idea of the passage?

5

A. A Swedish power plant is burning unusable H&M clothes for fuel.

B. The Swedish government aims high and is taking effective action.

C. H&M is looking for a new way to strengthen its position in fashion.

D. Coal and oil are no longer regarded as the primary fuels in Sweden.

(C)

The largest genetic study of mosquitoes has found their ability to resist insecticides is evolving rapidly and

spreading across Africa, putting millions of people at higher risk of contracting

malaria

（疟疾）

.

British scientists

who

led

the

work

said

mosquitoes'

growing

resistance

to

control

tools

such

as

insecticide-treated

bed

nets

and

insecticide

spraying,

which

have

helped

cut

malaria

cases since 2000,

now

threatens “to disturb malaria control” in Africa.

“Our

study highlights

the severe challenges

facing

public

efforts

to

control

mosquitoes

and

to manage and limit insecticide

resistance,” said Martin Donnell

y of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine,

who worked on the study with a team from Britain’s Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.

Latest World Health Organization (WHO) data show that 216 million people were infected last year with the

malaria

parasite

(

寄生虫

), which is transmitted by blood-sucking Anopheles mosquitoes.

The disease killed 445,000 people in 2016, and the majority of them were children in sub-Saharan Africa.

To understand how

mosquitoes

are

evolving,

the

researchers

sequenced

the

DNA

of

765

wild

Anopheles

mosquitoes taken from 15 locations across eight African countries. Their work, published in the journal Nature

on Wednesday, created the largest data resource on natural genetic variation for any species of insect.

Analyzing

the data,

the

scientists found that

the

Anopheles

gambiae

mosquitoes

（

比

亚

疟

蚊

）

were extremely genetically

diverse

（多样化的）

compared

with

most

other animal species.

This

high

genetic

diversity enables rapid evolution, they said, and helps to explain how mosquitoes develop insecticide resistance

so quickly.

The data also showed the rapid evolution of insecticide resistance appeared to be due to many previously

unknown genetic

v ariants

（变体）

within certain genes. The scientists said these genetic variants for insecticide

resistance were not only emerging independently in different parts of Africa, but were also being spread across

the continent by mosquito migration.

Michael Chew, an expert at Britain’s Wellcome Trust global health charity which helped fund the research,

said the finds underlined the importance of pushing scientific research ahead to control malaria.

Global

efforts

to

control

malaria

through

effective

vaccine,

insecticides

and

the

best

drug

combinations

require urgent, united action by scientists, drug companies, governments and the WHO.

63.

Which of the following is scientists’ headache?

A. The number of mosquitoes in Africa is growing rapidly.

B. Some genetic variants of mosquitoes are still unknown.

C. The existing insecticides aren’t as effective as they

used to be.

D. Millions of African people have resistance to medicines for malaria.

64.

Malaria cases can be cut by ______.

7

65.

66.

A. threatening drug companies

B. spraying insecticides

C. limiting blood donation

D. transmitting data

What

CANNOT

be concluded from the passage?

A. Children are more likely to be bit by mosquitoes.

B. Many previously unknown variants are found in the study.

C. The mosquito migration contributes to the spread of variants.

D. Anopheles mosquitoes have great genetic diversity.

Which is

FALSE

about the genetic study of mosquitoes?

A. It created the largest data on natural genetic variation for any insect species.

B. It found the possible causes for the rapid evolution of insecticide resistance.

C. It discovered where the genetic variants emerged and how they were spread.

D. It highlighted the public efforts and appealed to limit the use of insecticides.
