Ⅰ.閱讀理解(共兩節)
第一節 閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中,選出最佳選項。
British MPs (國會議員) have voted in favour of the creation of babies with DNA from two women and one man,in a historic move.The UK is now set to become the first country to introduce laws to allow the creation of babies from three people.In a free vote in the Commons,382 MPs were in favour and 128 against the technique that stops genetic diseases being passed from mother to child.During the debate,ministers said the technique was “light at the end of a dark tunnel” for families.
A further vote is required in the House of Lords.If everything goes ahead then the first such baby could be born next year.Supporters said it was “good news for progressive medicine” but critics say they will continue to fight against the technique that they say raises too many ethical (倫理的) and safety concerns.Estimates suggest 150 three-person babies could be born each year.
Prime Minister David Cameron said,“We’re not playing god here;we’re just making sure that two parents who want a healthy baby can have one.” The method,which was developed in Newcastle,should help women like Sharon Bernadi,from Sunderland,who lost all seven of her children to mitochondrial (線粒體的) disease.Ms Bernadi said she was “overwhelmed” by the decision.
Mitochondria are the tiny compartments (隔間) inside nearly every cell of the body that transform food into useable energy.They have their own DNA,which does not affect characteristics such as appearance.Defective mitochondria are passed down only from the mother.They can lead to brain damage,muscle wasting,heart failure and blindness.The technique uses a modified version to combine the DNA of the two parents with the healthy mitochondria of a donor woman.It results in babies with 0.1% of their DNA from the second woman and is a permanent change that would be passed down through the generations.

2.The underlined word “defective” is closest to the meaning of

解析:選D。詞義猜測題。defective“有缺陷的,不能完全適應變化的”;strangely-made“制造得很奇怪的”;normally developed“正常發展的”;functioning perfectly“完美運轉的”;
not functioning properly“運行不正常的”。故答案為D。

4.Prime Minister David Cameron
the creation of such babies.
A.is in favour of B.throws doubt on
C.objects to D.is indifferent to
解析:選A。細節理解題。根據第三段中的“Prime Minister David Cameron said,‘We’re not playing god here;we’re just making sure that two parents who want a healthy baby can have one.’”(首相卡梅隆說:我們并不是在挑戰上帝,只是希望那些想要一個健康的孩子的夫妻能夠如愿。)可知,卡梅隆是支持這個議案的。故答案為A。

We want to be happy and live our life to the fullest,but we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.2.

If someone’ s life is in trouble,do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine?Of course not!4.

【解題導語】 本文是一篇哲理類短文。在遇到生命中的挫折和失敗時,很多人都會認為這就是命運,不會采取任何措施,但這難道是正確的做法嗎?不!每個人都應該拼盡全力地為自己的目標奮斗,并幫助別人戰勝挫折。
1.解析:選B。前句說到作者發現很多人在遭遇挫折后,會認為是命運使然;但后句You don’t have to suffer needlessly.“你并不需要承受這些。”可知此處是否定前句的內容。故選B。
2.解析:選F。前句...but we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life,of our dreams.“……但是我們必須盡全力實現我們的夢想。”故選F“請記住有所付出才會有所回報”。
3.解析:選D。根據句意可知,此處的內容與Our time will come.是并列關系,故句意應該是相同的。Our time will come.“我們的機會就來了。”故選D“未來的某一天,事情都會好的。”
4.解析:選G。前句句意:“如果有的人生活陷入了麻煩,你所做的是否僅僅是祈禱或是希望事情能好轉?當然不是這樣的!G選項提出了正確的解決方法,并起到了承上啟下的作用。故選G。
5.解析:選E。前句句意:“僅僅祈禱當然是不夠的,但是你應該盡自己的全力去給予幫助。換言之,不要僅僅是站或坐在那兒。故選E“號召大家行動起來改善生活”。
