【答案】

【1】Growing

【2】a

【3】whose

【4】call/should call

【5】had gone

【6】coming

【7】weeks

【8】Eventually

【9】more

【10】his

【解析】

试题分析:文章大意:作者认为我们应该和陌生人说话。通过与陌生人之间进行意外的友好谈话,我们的人生将会受到非比寻常的影响

【1】考查非谓语动词。句中逻辑主语为I,与grow up为主动关系,故用现在分词作状语句意:从小到大,我一直习惯了诸如“别和陌生人说话”这样的话

【2】考查冠词。这里考查短语as a result结果。句意:结果,我不会和不认识的人说话。

【3】考查定语从句。句中先行词为new guest,在从句中作定语,故用关系代词whose句意:我与我的新客人开始了一些简短的对话他叫罗杰斯先生

【4】考查虚拟语气。句中insist作坚持要求,后接从句用should + v原形的虚拟语气,should可以省略句意:但他坚持让我称他为唐。

【5】考查时态。根据前句可知这里用过去完成时句意:我了解到他和妻子以前每个周六都会在外共进晚餐,并且一起去看电影。

【6】考查短语固定搭配。短语look forward to盼望,to为介词句意:我开始盼望着他来就餐,告诉我他的电影观后感。

【7】考查名词。名词week为可数名词,故用复数形式句意:时间一周一周地过去,我开始坐下来认真地和唐聊天。

【8】考查副词。副词eventually最后,注意首字母大写句意:后来,我们开始谈我的宏图大志,上学以及我对未来的期望。

【9】考查比较级。这里用比较级句意:变得更快乐。

【10】考查代词。名词之前用代词的所有格句意:我可不只是他的服务员,我成了他的朋友。

【题目】Scientists have discovered a special biological behavior in dolphins(海豚) that could lead to a treatment for late-onset diabetes(晚发的糖尿病) in humans. Studies on dolphins found that healthy dolphins switch into a diabetic-like state overnight when they are not feeding, but return to normal when they eat the following morning.

The extraordinary finding has led scientists to suggest that dolphins have genetic switch that allows them to imitate diabetes while they are not feeding for a night, without suffering any ill effect.

If researchers can identify a similar genetic pathway in human, they may be able to develop drugs to effectively switch off diabetes. Some 2.2 million people in Britain have type 2 (or late-onset) diabetes, a figure that is expected to reach 4 million by 2025 as a consequence of rising levels of obesity(肥胖).

The tissues of people with type 2 diabetes have become resistant to insulin(胰岛素)so they lose the ability to control sugar levels in their blood. The condition can damage the heart, eyes, kidneys(肾脏) and nerves and contribute to 5% of all deaths, according to the World Healthy Organisation.

Dolphins appear to imitate diabetes to keep high levels of blood sugar when food is rare. Like humans, dolphins need some sugar in their blood for their brains to function normally. Venn-Watson’s team analysed 1,000 blood samples(样本) from 52 dolphins while they didnt eat anything overnight and fed in the morning. At night time, the dolphins’ metabolism(新陈代谢)changed greatly and showed similar characteristics to that seen in people with type 2 diabetes.

“It is our hope that this discovery can lead to new ways to prevent, treat and maybe even cure diabetes in humans,” said Stephanie Venn-Watson, director of clinical research at the National Marine Foundation in San Diego.

A. Humans get some idea of treating diabetes from dolphins.

B. Dolphins can switch into a diabetic-like state overnight.

C. Humans can suffer the same disease as dolphins.

D. Dolphins should be fed regularly to avoid diabetes.

【2】The key to applying the finding to curing human diabetes lies in ____________.

A. producing insulin in a larger amount

B. developing drugs from healthy dolphins

C. identifying a similar genetic pathway in human

D. analysing more blood samples from hungry dolphins

【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Scientists have found a similar genetic switch in humans.

B. More British people will suffer type 2 diabetes due to obesity.

C. 2.2 million people with type 2 diabetes die in Britain every year.

D. Dolphins imitate diabetes to avoid a high blood sugar level.

【4】What will happen to dolphins if not fed for a night according to Venn-Watson?

A. Their metabolism breaks down.

B. They become resistant to insulin.

C. Their heart and kidneys are damaged.

D. They keep high levels of blood sugar.
