　　[2024·河北唐山一模]I am a taxi driver. One Monday morning, I had stopped at New York Hospital when I spied a_well-dressed_man dashing down the steps. He was hailing (招手) me. I waited until he jumped into the cab. “LaGuardia Airport, please，” he said.

　　As always, I wondered about my passenger. “What do you do？” “I'm in the neurology department (神經內科) at this hospital.” For some unknown reason， I decided to ask for his help.

　　“Could I ask a favour of you？” He didn't answer.

　　“I have a son, 16.

　　He's doing well in school.

　　He wants a job this summer. Is there any possibility that you might get him a summer job？” After a pause, he said, “The medical students have a research project. Maybe he could fit in.

　　Have him send me his school records.”

　　He searched his pocket and handed me a card.

　　That evening,

　　I pulled the card from my pocket. “Robbie，” I announced proudly, “this could be a summer job for you. Send him your school records.” He read it out loud, “Fred Plum, New York Hospital.”“Is this a joke？” he said in disbelief.

　　After I yelled and threatened to cut off his allowance, Robbie promised to send off his grades the next morning.

　　Two weeks later, when I arrived home, my son handed me a letter from Plum. He was to phone Plum's secretary for an interview.

　　Robbie got the job. The white coat he wore made him feel more important than he really was.

　　As high school graduation neared, Plum was kind enough to write letters of recommendation for universities. To our delight， Robbie was admitted to New York Medical College.

　　It never occurred to me that a stranger should transform my son's future.

　　一名出租車司機向他的乘客求助，希望對方能為自己上高中的兒子提供一份暑期工作。正是這位陌生人的幫忙改變了出租車司機兒子的未來。

　　1．Who does the underlined phrase “a well-dressed man” in the first paragraph refer to?

　　A．The author.

　　答案：B　考查推理判斷。由第一、二段可知，這位穿著體面的人上了作者的出租車，作者想請他幫個忙；由第三、四段可知，該乘客同意幫忙并留下自己的名片，名片上的名字為Fred Plum，由此推知，這個穿著體面的人就是Plum。

　　2．The author threatened to cut off Robbie's allowance probably because ________.

　　A．he was tired after a day's work

　　B．he didn't earn enough money

　　C．Robbie was unwilling to work

　　3．It can be inferred from the passage that Plum is ________.

　　A．patient and selfless B．generous and respectful

　　C．kind and helpfulD．wealthy and handsome

　　答案：C　考查推理判斷。Plum愿意幫助一個陌生人，給Robbie提供了一份暑期工作，又為Robbie寫了推薦信，由此可推知，Plum心地善良且樂于助人，應選擇C項。

　　4．What message does the passage convey?

　　A．A stranger may change your life.

　　B．One must be friendly to strangers.

　　C．A father should be responsible for his son.

　　D．Doctors may have great influence over people.

　　1．announce v. 宣布；述說　2.threaten v. 威脅；恐嚇

　　3．interview v．/n. 接見；面試

　　B

　　[2024·吉林長春質檢二]Scientists in Argentina have created the world's first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce human-like milk.

　　Genetic engineering was used to introduce the “mothers' milk” genes into the animal before birth, according to the National Institute of Agribusiness Technology in Buenos Aires.

　　As an adult, the cloned cow “will produce milk that is similar to that of humans”， which will prove “a development of great importance for the nutrition of infants (嬰兒)”， said the institute. “The cloned cow, named Rosita ISA, is the first in the world with two human genes that contain the proteins present in human milk，” said the statement.

　　In April, scientists in China published details of research showing that they had created dairy cows which produced milk containing proteins found in human breast milk. But the Argentine team said the Chinese only introduced one human gene. While their research involved two, meaning the milk will more_closely_resemble that of humans.

　　“Our goal was to raise the nutrition value of cows' milk by adding two human genes, which do good to the immune system of infants，”said Adrian Mutto, from the National University of San Martin which worked with the institute.

　　Cristina Kirchner,

　　President of Argentina,

　　said the scientific institute made all Argentines proud. She also said that she had rejected the “honor” of having the cow named after her. “They came to tell me that the name is Cristina, but what woman would like to have a cow named after her? It appeared to me to be more proper to call it Rosita.”

　　阿根廷國家農業綜合科技研究所的科學家們日前宣布，他們已成功培育出一頭能夠產類似人奶的奶牛。

　　5．What is the passage mainly about?

　　A．The importance of genetic engineering.

　　B．Ways to improve mothers' milk.

　　C．A cloned cow to produce human-like milk.

　　D．Advanced agricultural technology in Argentina.

　　答案：C　考查主旨大意。根據文章第一段“Scientists in Argentina have created the world's first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce human-like milk”可知，阿根廷的科學家們已成功培育出一頭能夠產類似人奶的奶牛。故選C項。

　　6．Which of the following can best replace “more closely resemble” in Paragraph 4?

　　A．have more varieties than

　　B．be more similar to

　　C．have more nutrition than

　　D．be more different from

　　答案：B　考查詞義猜測。根據第四段的第二、三句可知，阿根廷的研究組稱中國研究組僅放入了一個人類基因，而他們的研究包含了兩個，這意味著產出的牛奶將和人奶更相似。故選B項。

　　7．What can be inferred from Cristina Kirchner's statements?

　　A．She was quite satisfied with the research done by the institute.
