A foreign student graduated with honors from a finely university in Germany. He expected to find a good job and have a bright future. But in his disappointment, he wasn't even giving the chance for an interview! The third time he was refused, he phoned the company to ask how. "We don't employ dishonest people in Germany" is the answer. What was wrong? Shortly before he arrived in Germany, he found easy to steal subway rides. But he often rode without a ticket and was caught up three times. Now he had to pay a high price for his own behavior. We should all keep in minds: honesty is the best policy.

【答案】①finely---fine ②in---to ③giving---given ④how---why ⑤is---was ⑥before---after ⑦found ^ easy---it ⑧But---So ⑨up去掉 ⑩minds---mind


【解析】第一处:finely---fine 考查形容词。Finely为副词,这里需用形容词来修饰名词university,故需将finely改为fine。

第二处:.in---to 考查固定搭配。To one's disappointment令某人失望的是,为固定短语,所以这里需将in改为to。

第三处:giving---given 考查被动语态。由 句中的wasn't可知 该句需用被动语态,表示被给机会,所以这里give需用过去分词given。

第四处:how---why 考查疑问词。该句的意思是:我打电话询问为什么在德国不雇佣诚实的人。所以这里询问的是原因,而不是方式,所以需将how改为why。

第五处.is---was 考查时态。由前文phoned可知,该句时态为一般过去时,所以这里be动词is需改为was。

第六处:before---after 考查连词。考查连词。这里的意思是:她到达德国不久后,所以需将before改为after。

第七处:found ^ easy---it 考查形式宾语。Find it +adj+to do sth发现……怎么样,所以这里需用it作形式宾语。

第八处:But---So 考查连词。该句的意思是:他发现在德国很容易逃地铁票,所以他经常不买票就上车,还被抓了三次。所以这里表示因果关系,而不是转折关系。

第九处:up去掉 考查动词。Be caught被抓住,catch up追上,赶上,这里指的是被抓住,所以需将up去掉。

第十处:minds---mind 考查短语。Keep in mind牢记,为固定短语,所以这里需将minds改为mind。

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
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(婴儿)", 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 that 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.”
(1)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.
(2)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
(3)What can be inferred from Cristina Kirchner's statements?
A.She was quite satisfied with the research done by the institute.
B.She considered it an honor to name the special cow.
C.She felt it improper to be named after the cow.
D.She refused to give a name to the cow out of self-respect.

【题目】For years,Hagelin has studied what role scents(气味)play in wild birds’ behavior.In 2010,Hagelin heard Jan Straley,a marine biologist,talk about the behavior of whales.Straley mentioned that whales often leap into the air,but nobody knew why.

The mystery interested Hagelin.So Hagelin asked Straley whether they might leap to smell the air—maybe to locate food or look for danger.Straley replied that it was an interesting idea but there wasn't much evidence that whales have a sense of smell.To investigate the idea further,the two scientists teamed up.

In the summer of 2011,they set up a post on the coast of southern Alaska.The researchers spent hours monitoring the direction of the whales and of the wind.The whales headed into the wind half of the time.This didn't prove that whales leap to smell,but it suggested that it is possible.

Meanwhile,other researchers in Alaska were studying a region of the brain called the olfactory bulb(嗅觉球)in whales.Olfaction means the ability to smell.Humans also process smells in the olfactory bulb.

In identifying a scent,you might think the nose does all of the work.However,the major role of a nose is to draw chemicals on the air and pass them across sensing cells.As chemicals come into contact,they give signals that travel directly to the bulb and then in the brain for further interpretation.

The researchers discovered that the bulb in a whale was more complex than the one in a human.In whales,this smell-processing center takes up a share of the brain six times larger than it does in humans.

The brain research suggested that whales probably can smell just as well as people—and possibly better than humans can.It is supposed that a good sense of smell could help them find food more easily.

However,Hagelin is not sure of that.Now he is planning a new study that will examine whether whales do use the sense of smell to find food.

A. is smaller than the one in a human

B. doesn't know whether whales hunt their food in groups

C. isn't sure that the sense of smell can help whales find food

D. isn't sure whether humans can smell as well as whales
