Kicking the Habit
What is a bad habit? The most definition is that it is something that we do regularly, almost without thinking about it. and which has some sort of negative consequence. This consequence could affect those around us, or it could affect us personally. Those who deny having bad habits are probably lying. Bad habits are part of what makes us human.
Many early habits, like sucking out thumb, are broken when we are very young. We are either told to stop doing it by our parents, or we consciously or subconsciously observe that others do not have the same habit, and we gradually grow out of it. It is when we intentionally or unintentionally pick up new habits in our later childhood or early adulthood that it becomes a problem. Unless we can break that habit early on, it becomes a part of our life, and becomes "programmed" into our brain.
A recent study of human memory suggests that no matter how hard we try to change out habits, it is the old ways that tend to win, especially in situations where we are rushed, stressed or overworked. Habits that we thought we had got rid of can suddenly come back. During the study program, the researchers showed a group of volunteers several pictures, and gave them words to associate with them. They then showed the volunteers the same picture again, and gave them new words to associate with them.
A few days later, the volunteers were given a test. The researchers showed them the pictures, and told them to respond with one of the words they had been given for each one. It came as no surprise that their answers were split between the first set of words and second. Two weeks later, they were given the same test again. This time, most of them only gave the first set of words. They appeared to have completely forgotten the second set.
The study confirms that the responses we learn first are those that remain strongest over time. We may try to change out ways, but after a while, the response that comes to mind first is usually the first one we learned. The more that response is used, the more automatic it becomes and the harder it becomes to respond in any other way.
The study therefore suggests that over time, our bad habits also become automatic, learned behavior. This is not good news for people who pick up bad habits early in life and now want tochange or break them. Even when we try to put new, good intentions into practice, those previous learned habits remain stronger in more automatic, unconscious forms of memory.
Boys usually develop bad habits when they are very young.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
17、We can only break bad habits if others tell us to do.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
18、Bad habits may return when we are under pressure.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
19、Researchers were surprised by the answer that the volunteers gave in the first test.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
20、The volunteers found the test more difficult when they did it the second time.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
21、The study suggests that it is more difficult to respond what to get rid of.
A.Right

C.Not mentioned
22、If we develop bad habits early in life, they are harder to get rid of.

Traffic Jams -- No End in Sight
1. Traffic congestion (擁堵) affects people throughout the world. Traffic jams cause smog in dozens of cities across both the developed and developing world. In the U. S. , commuters(通勤人員) spend an average of a full working, week each year sitting in traffic jams,according to the Texas Transportation Institute. While alternative ways of getting around are available, most people still choose their cars because they are looking for convenience,comfort and privacy.
2. The most promising technique for reducing city traffic is called congestion pricing, whereby cities charge a toll to enter certain parts of town at certain times, of day. In theory, if the toll is high enough, some drivers will cancel their trips or go by bus or train. And in practice it seems to work: Singapore, London and Stockholm have reduced traffic and pollution in city centres thanks to congestion pricing.
3. Another way to reduce rush-hour traffic is for employers to implement flextime, which lets employees travel to and from work at off-peak traffic times to avoid the rush hour. Those who have to travel during busy times can do their part by sharing cars. Employers can als0 allow more staff to telecommute (work from home) so as to keep more cars off the road altogether.
4. Some urban planners still believe that the best way to ease traffic congestion is to build more roads, especially roads that can take drivers around or over crowded city streets. But such techniques do not really keep cars off the road; they only accommodate more of them.
5. Other, more forward-thinking, planners know that more and more drivers and cars are taking to the roads every day, and they are unwilling to encourage more private automobiles when public transport is so much better both for people and the environment. For this reason, the American government has decided to spend some $ 7 billion on helping to increase capacity on public-transport systems and upgrade them with more efficient technologies. But environmentalists complain that such funding is tiny compared with the $ 50 billion being spent on roads and bridges.

Operation Migration
If you look up at the sky in the early fall in the northern part of North America, you may see groups of birds. These birds are flying south to places where they can find food and warmth for the winter. They are migrating (遷徙). The young birds usually learn to migrate from their parents. They follow their parents south, in one unusual case, however, the young birds are following something very different. These birds are young whooping cranes, and they are following an airplane!
The whooping crane is the largest bird that is native to North America. These birds almost disappeared in the 1800s. By 1941, there were only about 20 cranes alive. In the 1970s, people were worded that these creatures were in danger of disappearing completely. As a result, the United States identified whooping cranes as an endangered species that they needed to protect.
Some researchers tried to help. They began to breed whooping cranes in special parks to increase the number of birds. This plan was successful. There were a lot of new baby birds. As the birds became older, the researchers wanted to return them to nature. However, there was a problem: These young birds did not know how to migrate. They needed human help.
In 2001, some people had a creative idea. They formed an organization called Operation Migration. This group decided to use very light airplanes, instead of birds, to lead the young whooping cranes on their first trip south. They painted each airplane to look like a whooping crane. Even the pilots wore special clothing to make them look like cranes. The cranes began to trust the airplanes, and the plan worked.
Today, planes still lead birds across approximately 1,200 miles (1,931 kilometers), from the United States-Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico. They leave the birds at different sites. If a trip is successful, the birds can travel on their own in the future. Then, when these birds become parents, they will teach their young to migrate. The people of Operation Migration think this is the only way to maintain the whooping crane population.
Operation Migration works with several other organizations and government institutes. Together, they assist hundreds of cranes each year. However, some experts predict that soon,this won't be necessary. Thanks to Operation Migration and its partners, the crane population will continue to migrate. Hopefully, they won't need human help any more.

A.find warmth and food.
B.raise baby whooping cranes.
C.get human help.
D.lay eggs.
32、Whooping cranes are native to_____

On the Trial of the Honey Badger
On a recent field trip to the Kalahari Desert, a team of researchers learnt a lot more about honey badgers (獾). The team employed a local wildlife expert, Kitso Khama, to help them locate and follow the badgers across the desert. Their main aim was to study the badgers' movements and behavior as discreetly (謹(jǐn)慎地) as possible frightening them away or causing them to change their natural behavior. They also planned to trap a few and study them close up before releasing them in view of the animal's reputation, this was something that even Khama was reluctant to do.
"The problem with honey badgers is they are naturally curious animals, especially when they see something new. " He says. "That, combined with their unpredictable nature, can be a dangerous mixture. If they sense you have food, for example, they won't be shy about coming right up to you for something to eat. They're actually quite sociable creatures around humans,but as soon as they feel they might be in danger, they can become extremely vicious ( 兇惡的). Fortunately this is rare, but it does happen. "
The research confuaned many things that were already known. As expected, honey badgers ate any creatures they could catch and kill. Even poisonous snakes, feared and avoided by most other animals, were not safe from them. The researchers were surprised, however, by the animal's fondness for local melons, probably because of their high water content. Previously researchers thought that the animal got all of its liquid requirements from its prey (獵物). The team also learnt that, contrary to previous research findings, the badgers occasionally formed loose family groups. They were also able to confirm certain results from previous research, including the fact that female badgers never socialized with each other.
Following some of the male badgers was a challenge, since they can cover large distances in a short space of time. Some hunting territories cover more than 500 square kilometers.Although they seem happy to share these territories with other males, there are occasional fights Over an important food source, and male badgers can be as aggressive towards each other as they are towards other species.
As the badgers became accustomed to the presence of people, it gave the team to get up close to them without being the subject of the animals' curiosity - or a sudden aggression. The badgers' eating patterns, which had been disrupted, to normal. It also allowed the team to observe more closely some of the other that form working associations with the honey badger,as these seemed to badgers' relaxed attitude when near humans.
Why did the wild life experts visit the Kalahari Desert?
A.To find where honey badgers live.
B.To observe how honey badgers behave.
C.To catch some honey badgers for food.
D.To find out why honey badgers have a bad reputation.

"Lucky" Lord Lucan —Alive or Dead?
On 8th November 1974 Lord Lucan, a British aristocrat (貴族), vanished. The day before, his children's nanny had been brutally murdered and his wife had been attacked too. To this day the British public are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found. Now, over 30 years later, the police have reopened the case, hoping that new DNA techniques will help solve this murder mystery.
People suspected that "lucky", as he was called by friends, wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived with. They say that Lucan entered his old house and in the dark, killed the nanny by mistake. His estranged (分居的 ) wife heard noises, came downstairs and was also attacked, but managed to escape. Seven months after the murder, a jury concluded that Lucan had killed the nanny.
What happened next is unclear, but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories : he may have killed himseff, he could have escaped or he might have been killed. It appears that the night after the murder, "lucky" borrowed a car and drove it. Lucan's friend Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan had committed suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel.
Another version of events says that "lucky" left the blood-soaked car on the coast and took a ferry to France. He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in another country.However, after a time, his rescuers became worded that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed.
A further fascinating theory was made in the book Dead Lucky by Duncan Maclaughlin, a former detective. He believes that Lucan travelled to Goa, India, where he assumed the identity of a Mr. Barry Haplin. Lucan then lived in Goa till his death in 1996. In the end the claim turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. The man who died in 1996 was really Haplin, an ex-schoolteacher turned hippy. So what is the truth about "lucky"? DNA testing has solved many murder cases, but who knows if it can close the book on this one.
The British public are still interested in the murder case because______
A.the murder was a aristocrat.
B.the murder's DNA has been found.
C.the murder was a famous man.
D.the murder has not been caught.
42、It was suspected that Lucan killed the nanny because______
A.she was cruel to his children.
B.she attacked his car.
C.she stole his car.
D.she was mistaken for his wife.
43、Aspinall thought lucan killed himself______
A.by sinking his boat
B.in a car accident.
C.on the night 30 years after murder.
D.by jumping into the English Channel.
44、According to the version in Paragraph 4, Lucan______
A.has escaped but was killed later.
B.was involved in a murder in France.
C.was caught in another country.
D.met his partners on a ferry.
45、The word "assumed" in last paragraph means______

The Tough Grass that Sweetens Our Lives
Sugar cane was once a wild grass that grew in New Guinea and was used by local people for roofing their houses and fencing their gardens. Gradually a different variety evolved which contained sucrose (蔗糖) and was chewed on for its sweet taste. Over time, sugar cane became a highly valuable commercial plant, grown throughout the world. (46)
Sugar became a vital ingredient in all kinds of things, from confectionery (糖果點(diǎn)心) to medicine, and, as the demand for sugar grew, the industry became larger and more profitable.(47) Many crops withered (枯萎) and died, despite growers' attempts to save them,and there were fears that the health of the plant would continue to deteriorate.
In the 1960s, scientists working in Barbodos looked for ways to make the commercial species stronger and more able to resist disease. They experimented with breeding programmes,mixing genes from the more delicate, commercial type. (48) This sugar cane is not yet ready to be sold commercially, but when this happens, it is expected to be incredible profitable for the industry.
(49) Brazil, which produces one quarter of the world's sugar, has c~ordinated an international project under Professor Paulo Arrudo of the Universidade Estaudual de Campinas in Sao Paulo. Teams of experts have worked with him to discover more about which parts of the genetic structure of the plant are important for the production of sugar and its overall health.
Despite all the research, however, we still do not fully understand how the genes in sugar cane. (50) This gene is particularly exciting because it makes the plant resistant to rust,a disease which probably originated in India, but is now capable of infecting sugar cane across the world. Scientist believes they will eventually be able to gro.w a plant which cannot be destroyed by rust.

【解 析】考查形容詞。劃線(xiàn)詞rigid意為“嚴(yán)格的,死板的”,與D同義。
【考點(diǎn)延伸】flexible的意思是“靈活的”,in一是否定前綴。這種構(gòu)詞法在考試中非常常見(jiàn),因此大家復(fù)習(xí)的時(shí)候要關(guān)注最核心的單詞和常見(jiàn)的構(gòu)詞法。
4. B
系統(tǒng)解析:【題 干】真讓人難以置信,她已經(jīng)在那里待了一個(gè)星期了。
A,正確的B.不可置信 C.顯然’D.不清楚
【解 析】考查形容詞。劃線(xiàn)詞incredible意為“難以置信的,驚人的”,故選擇8。
【考點(diǎn)延伸】本題仍然是in一(否定前綴)+credible的構(gòu)詞方式,正確選項(xiàng)也采取同樣 的方式un一(否定前綴)+believable=不可置信的。常用的否定前綴有un-/
in-/dis-/mis-/non等。常見(jiàn)的否定后綴有.1ess。
5. B
系統(tǒng)解析:【題 干】這些動(dòng)物每年向南遷徙以尋找食物。
A.探索 B.旅行 C.把……嵌入 C.更喜歡
【解 析】考查動(dòng)詞。劃線(xiàn)詞migrate為“遷徙”,即“移動(dòng)”的意思,因此與B選項(xiàng)意思相近。
【考點(diǎn)延伸】同義替換的詞匯題中,并非所有劃線(xiàn)單詞都能找到特別恰當(dāng)?shù)耐x詞,只能通過(guò)上下文語(yǔ)意來(lái)選擇意思相近的單詞。migrate與travel的含義略有差別,但基本意思都含有“移動(dòng)”,因此本題最好的選項(xiàng)為B。
6. A

A.經(jīng)過(guò),路過(guò) B.注意 c.醒來(lái) D.偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)
【解 析】考查動(dòng)詞詞組。劃線(xiàn)詞come across意為“偶遇,無(wú)意中發(fā)現(xiàn)”。B選項(xiàng)沒(méi)有“偶然”之意,是混淆選項(xiàng)。
【解 析】表示“偶遇,碰到”的單詞和詞組有:meet by chance,l'an int0,encounter等。
8. C
系統(tǒng)解析:【題 干】至于說(shuō)她是否適合這個(gè)職位,我無(wú)可奉告。
A.在 B.和……一起 C.關(guān)于 D.從……

【考點(diǎn)延伸】有關(guān)常見(jiàn)介詞的基本含義和用法,在考試中不少見(jiàn)。復(fù)習(xí)要注意兩點(diǎn):第一,基本含義;第二,常見(jiàn)的介詞搭配。

【解 析】考查動(dòng)詞。劃線(xiàn)詞manipulate意為“操縱,操作”,influence可以用來(lái)代替劃線(xiàn)詞。voice可以做名詞,表示“嗓音”,也可以做動(dòng)詞,意思是“說(shuō)出”。 【考點(diǎn)延伸】mani(u).表示“人工,做”,比如manufacture“制造”,manual“操作 手冊(cè)”。再次提醒,本題不是同義詞或者近義詞的考點(diǎn),而是基本含義相 同、同時(shí)能使句子通順的單詞替換。
10. B
系統(tǒng)解析:【題 干】他是被這個(gè)公司提供的高工資所透惑。
A.教授 B.吸引 C.保持,保留 D.改變
【解 析】考查動(dòng)詞。劃線(xiàn)詞tempt意為“誘惑,引起”,與B選項(xiàng)含義相同。

11. A
系統(tǒng)解析:【題 干】他停了一會(huì)兒,等她慢慢領(lǐng)會(huì)這一信息。
A.理解,領(lǐng)會(huì) B.握住,堅(jiān)持 C.交換 D.聯(lián)系
【解 析】考查動(dòng)詞。劃線(xiàn)詞digest意為“理解,領(lǐng)會(huì)”,與understand同義。故選A。
【考點(diǎn)延伸】digest 2012年的詞匯題中作為正確選項(xiàng)出現(xiàn)過(guò),對(duì)應(yīng)的劃線(xiàn)詞組為take in(吸收)。本題的考點(diǎn)仍然是理解句子上下文的含義,進(jìn)行合理選擇。
12. D
系統(tǒng)解析:【題 干】務(wù)必把桌子固定好。
A.修理 B.清除 C.預(yù)訂 D.固定
【解 析】考查動(dòng)詞。劃線(xiàn)詞anchor意為“使固定”。故選D。
【考點(diǎn)延伸】很多考生對(duì)anchor不太熟悉,無(wú)法直接進(jìn)行單詞的對(duì)應(yīng)。針對(duì)這種題型,
可以根據(jù)句子的語(yǔ)意走向來(lái)進(jìn)行推測(cè)。句子中有securely(安全地),可以推理得知此處選擇“固定”是最合理的。
13. C
系統(tǒng)解析:【題 干】當(dāng)她喝醉的時(shí)候會(huì)變得愛(ài)尋釁惹事。
A.擔(dān)憂(yōu)的 B.困倦的 C.攻擊性的 D.焦慮的

閱讀判斷
16. C
系統(tǒng)解析:【題 干】男孩通常在他們非常年輕時(shí)形成壞習(xí)慣。
【解 析】本題的關(guān)鍵詞為boys和bad habits,回到原文定位發(fā)現(xiàn)全文沒(méi)有提及boys,故只能選擇“未提及”。
17. B
系統(tǒng)解析:【題 干】如果別人告訴我們?nèi)プ?,我們才能改掉不良?xí)慣。
【解 析】從第二段第二句可知改掉壞習(xí)慣有兩個(gè)途徑:有人阻止或者潛意識(shí)地觀察其他人沒(méi)有相同的壞習(xí)慣,我們就會(huì)逐漸擺脫壞習(xí)慣。因此題干內(nèi)容有誤,故選B。
【考點(diǎn)延伸】grow out of是個(gè)固定搭配,意思是“超過(guò),超越”。
18. A
系統(tǒng)解析:【題 干】當(dāng)我們有壓力時(shí),壞習(xí)慣可能會(huì)回來(lái)。
【解 析】從第三段第一句“…it is the old ways that tend to win,especially in situations where we are rushed。stressed or overworked.”可知在面對(duì)壓力的時(shí)候,有些我們以為已經(jīng)改掉的壞習(xí)慣又會(huì)回來(lái)。因此題干內(nèi)容正確,故選A。
【考點(diǎn)延伸】tend to的意思是“傾向于,將要”,rush的本意是“奔跑”,在這里引申含義為“匆忙做……”,rushed,stressed,overworked都是表達(dá)“壓力”的意思,因此此處是一個(gè)同義替換的考題。
19. B
系統(tǒng)解析:【題 干】研究人員對(duì)志愿者在第一個(gè)測(cè)試中給出的答案感到驚訝。
【解 析】從第四段第三句“It came as no surprise that their answers were split between the first set of words and second.”可知研究人員對(duì)志愿者在第一個(gè)測(cè)驗(yàn)中得出的結(jié)果一點(diǎn)都不感到驚訝。因此題干內(nèi)容有誤,故選B。
【考點(diǎn)延伸】:It can'le as no surprise…that…是一個(gè)主語(yǔ)從句后置的結(jié)構(gòu),真正的主語(yǔ)是that從旬的內(nèi)容,it是形式主語(yǔ)。這樣的句式很多,比如:
It is important that we work hard.
It is believed that the president will come tomorrow.
20. C
系統(tǒng)解析:【題 干】志愿者們發(fā)現(xiàn)第二次測(cè)試更加困難。
【解 析】文章沒(méi)有提及志愿者是否發(fā)現(xiàn)更難。因此答案為C未提及。
【考點(diǎn)延伸】find+名詞+形容詞的結(jié)構(gòu)中,形容詞為補(bǔ)語(yǔ)。
21. B
系統(tǒng)解析:【題 干】研究表明,對(duì)已經(jīng)改掉的習(xí)慣很難做出反應(yīng)。
【解 析】從第五段第二句“We may try to change our ways,but after a while,the response that comes to mind first is usually the first one we learned.”可知我們嘗試改變方式,但首先出現(xiàn)在我們腦海中的通常是我們最開(kāi)始學(xué)的。由此可推理,要擺脫最先認(rèn)知的內(nèi)容是更困難的。因此題干內(nèi)容有誤,故選B。
【考點(diǎn)延伸】這是一個(gè)由細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行推理的題目,需要根據(jù)原文回現(xiàn)與題干內(nèi)容進(jìn)行對(duì)應(yīng)并進(jìn)一步推理后才能做出選擇。
22. A
系統(tǒng)解析:【題 干】如果我們形成壞習(xí)慣越早,就越難改掉。
【解 析】從最后一段“The study therefore suggests that over time.our bad habits also become automatic.1earned behavior.This is not good Ilews for people who pick up bad habits early in life and now want to change or break them.” 可知壞習(xí)慣慢慢就變成了自動(dòng)的習(xí)得行為,一旦早期養(yǎng)成了什么壞習(xí)慣.在后期要改變或打破他們就很難。因此題干內(nèi)容正確,故選A。
【考點(diǎn)延伸】learned behavior的意思是“通過(guò)學(xué)習(xí)得到的行為”,即“習(xí)得行為”,
learned的近義詞為acquired。pick up意思是“撿起,養(yǎng)成”,常跟habit連用。

26. D
系統(tǒng)解析:【題 干】第四段的主要內(nèi)容是 _______

【考點(diǎn)延伸】句式的改寫(xiě)是考查的重要內(nèi)容。原文中是if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語(yǔ)從句,對(duì)應(yīng)到題干中為if引導(dǎo)的分詞結(jié)構(gòu)充當(dāng)條件狀語(yǔ)。經(jīng)常用when/if/because/ unless 4-分詞結(jié)構(gòu)來(lái)充當(dāng)狀語(yǔ)從句的功能。比如:
If the toll is high enough,some drivers will cancel their trips or go by bus or train.等于 If charged high enough,some drivers will cancel their trips or go by bus or train.此時(shí)要注意,在這種情況下,主旬的主語(yǔ)要與分詞結(jié)構(gòu)中的邏輯主語(yǔ)一致。
29. A
系統(tǒng)解析:【題 干】修建更多的道路不是______的有效方式。
【解 析】根據(jù)第四段,很多人認(rèn)為緩解交通壓力最好的辦法是多修路,但作者認(rèn)為這種辦法并不能真正解決問(wèn)題。故選A。

【解 析】根據(jù)第五段第二句可知,美國(guó)政府打算花70億來(lái)更新公共交通體系。故選D。
【考點(diǎn)解析】此題是對(duì)原文中的某些信息進(jìn)行概括的對(duì)應(yīng),比如$50 billion被概括成為a lot of money,5 people被概括為a few people等。這樣的解題技巧對(duì)閱讀理解題目的解答也是適用的。

【解 析】細(xì)節(jié)題。回到原文Aspinall和Lucan同時(shí)出現(xiàn)的地方,文中第三段的最后一句“Lucan’s friend Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan had committed suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel.”可知盧肯的朋友皮諾爾在一次采訪中表示他覺(jué)得盧肯伯爵在英吉利海峽中弄沉了自已坐的船,自殺了。故A是正確答案。
【考點(diǎn)延伸】commit suicide的意思是“自殺”,commit crime“犯罪”。commit的名詞形式為commitment,意思是“承諾,委托,獻(xiàn)身”。
44. A
系統(tǒng)解析:【題 干】根據(jù)文章第四段的說(shuō)法,盧肯______。

C.在另一個(gè)國(guó)家被抓住了

系統(tǒng)解析:【題 干】最后一段的“assumed”一詞是什么意思?
A.發(fā)現(xiàn)。 B.建立。 C.呈現(xiàn),承擔(dān)。D.改變。
【解 析】詞匯題。assumed一詞出現(xiàn)在“He believes that Lucan travelled to Goa,India,where he assumed the identity of a Mr.Barry Haplin.”大意是:他
霧確信盧肯逃到了印度的果阿,在那里他使用了Barry Haplin這個(gè)人的身份,所以“assumed”是“利用,冒用”的意思,四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中take on的意思是“承擔(dān),呈現(xiàn),采用”,與其意思最接近,帶入后語(yǔ)意通順,意為“使用了Mr.Barry Haplin的身份”。故C是正確答案。

46. E
系統(tǒng)解析:空格前一句中講到,甘蔗成了一種極具價(jià)值的商業(yè)作物,在全世界種植。根據(jù)因果關(guān)系和關(guān)鍵詞“commercial plant”, “grown throughout the world”,E選項(xiàng)(現(xiàn)在世界上大部分糖都是產(chǎn)自這個(gè)特殊的商業(yè)作物)符合文義,故E為最佳選項(xiàng)。

48. A
系統(tǒng)解析:空格前提到了科學(xué)家在20世紀(jì)60年代開(kāi)始尋找方法讓甘蔗這個(gè)植物更壯抗病能力更強(qiáng),并進(jìn)行不同植物基因混合的實(shí)驗(yàn)??崭窈筇岬浆F(xiàn)在這種甘蔗植物還不準(zhǔn)備用作商業(yè)用途??崭袂昂缶哂袝r(shí)間順序,先是開(kāi)始研究新的甘蔗品種,后是新的甘蔗品種還不打算商用,所以中間應(yīng)該是新的甘蔗5品種已經(jīng)研究出來(lái)了。故A(最后,一種經(jīng)濟(jì)作物被開(kāi)發(fā)出來(lái),不僅僅甜度上升了5%,同時(shí)更為強(qiáng)壯,抗病性更強(qiáng))是正確答案。
49. D
系統(tǒng)解析:這個(gè)空格位于段首,應(yīng)該是這個(gè)段落的總起句。空格后列舉了例子來(lái)說(shuō)明“Teams of experts have worked with him to discover more about which
Darts of the genetic structure of the plant are important for the production ofi sugar and its overall health.’’即科學(xué)家為了發(fā)現(xiàn)更多的基因結(jié)構(gòu)。提到“基因結(jié)構(gòu)”的選項(xiàng)只有D,故D(自20世紀(jì)60年代起,科學(xué)家就一直在研究甘蔗基因代碼的奧秘)是正確答案。
