For British scientist Robert Edwards，the answer is having a child.“Nothing is more special than a child，” he told the BBC.Edwards, the inventor of the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)technology more commonly known as “testtube (试管) baby” technology passed away on April 10,2013 at the age of 87.“Edwards changed the lives of millions of ordinary people who now rejoice (高兴) in the gift of their own child，” said Peter Braude, a professor at Kings College London.“He leaves the world a much better place.”Edwards started his experiments as early as the 1950s，when he had just finished his PhD in genetics.At that time，much of the public viewed testtube babies as “scary”， according to Mark Sauer, a professor at Columbia University, US.Edwards and his colleague Patrick Steptoe faced opposition from churches, governments and media, not to mention attacks from many of their fellow scientists.“People said that we should not play God and we should not interfere with nature，” Edwards once told Times. He said that he felt “quite alone” at the time.“But Edwards was a fighter, and he believed in what he was doing，” said Sauer. Without support from the government，the two struggled to raise funds to carry on.And in 1968 they finally developed a method to successfully fertilize human eggs outside the body.The first testtube baby was born on July 25,1978.Her name was Louise Brown.Despite peoples safety concerns，Brown was just as healthy as other children.“IVF had moved from vision to reality and a new era in medicine had begun，” BBC commented.Ever since then, public opinion has evolved considerably.Couples who were unable to have babies began thronging (涌向) to Edwards clinic.Nowadays, Reuters reports, some 4.3 million other “testtube”children exist. Edwards received a Nobel Prize in 2010 and was knighted (封为爵士) by Queen Elizabeth the following year.Before his death, Edwards was still in touch with Louise.“He is like a granddad to me，” she said in an interview with the Daily Mail.He is a granddad to millions, in fact.语篇解读：本文介绍了IVF技术的发明者Edwards。4Whats the article mainly about?AThe first testtube baby.BA new era in medicine.CThe inventor of IVF technology.DThe changes IVF technology has brought.解析：选C主旨大意题。根据第三段的内容及下文内容可知文章主要讲的是IVF技术的发明者。故选C。5The writer quoted Peter Braude to _.Ashow how difficult it was for Edwards to do his workBdescribe what kind of person Edwards was Cexplain why he is loved by all childrenDcomment on his achievement解析：选D推理判断题。根据文章第四段 Peter Braude 所说的话可知，Edwards改变了数百万普通人的生活，这些人因拥有了自己的孩子而高兴不已，他让这个世界更美好。根据句意可知引用的话是对Edwards成就的高度评价。故选D。6The underlined word “opposition” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to “_”Aattack BsupportCtest Dinfluence解析：选A词义猜测题。根据第六段第一句以及下文提到了同事的攻击(attacks)，说明opposition的意思和“攻击”(attack)是相似的。故选A。7What is the correct order of events in Edwards life?aHe received a Nobel Prize.bHe struggled to raise funds.cThe first testtube baby was born.dHe was knighted by Queen Elizabeth .eHe succeeded in fertilizing human eggs outside body.fHe started his experiments on IVF technology.Afebcad BfbecdaCfbecad Dfedacb解析：选C细节理解题。根据短文的时间线索可知先是f开始实验，然后b筹集资金，然后e成功，然后c第一个试管婴儿出现，然后a得到诺贝尔奖，最后d受嘉奖，故选C。C(2019河北五校联考)Imagine this scene: its blowing outside, and you snuggle (蜷伏) up on the sofa under a warm quilt, chatting and recalling with your closest friends.That content, cosy feeling, has a name in Danish hygge. And, as Denmark recently won the title of “the happiest country in the world”， the concept of hygge is known to more and more people interested in finding ways to understand this concept.Hygge originally from a Norwegian word meaning wellbeing doesnt have an exact equivalent (对应物) in English. Its often translated as coziness, or as blogger Anna West told the BBC, “coziness of the soul”. But, professor Maren Spark explains, “Hygge_was_never_meant_to_be_translated._It_was_meant_to_be_felt.”Basically, hygge involves creating a warm, cosy atmosphere and enjoying it with your loved ones. Danish winters are long and dark, so achieving hygge is particularly relevant during this season. A typical hygge activity during winter could be enjoying delicious homemade food and lighthearted conversation with friends preferably in the warm glow of candlelight, or maybe sipping a glass of wine in the hot tub after a day spent skiing.However, hygge isnt only limited to the cold winter months it can also describe that warm, fuzzy feeling you get after a walk through a forest with friends on a summers day or a family barbecue in the park. Hygge is meant to be shared.语篇解读：每年，丹麦人都会经历漫长而阴沉的冬日，可是丹麦却被认为是世界上最幸福的国家。文章向我们介绍了丹麦人是如何通过创造舒适的环境来提高幸福指数的。8The author asks the readers to imagine the scene in the first paragraph to _.Ahelp the readers to calm downBintroduce the topic of the passageCpresent the main idea of the passageDremind the readers of their past memories解析：选B推理判断题。由文章第一段和第二段可知，作者让读者想象这个情景是为了引出文章所要介绍的话题“hygge”。9What do the underlined sentences by Maren Spark mean?AThe translation of the word “hygge” is not good enough.BOnly Danish speakers know what “hygge” means.C“Hygge” is easy to translate but hard to feel.DWe can get the true meaning of “hygge” by feeling it.解析：选D句意理解题。根据第三段可知，“hygge”这个词常被解释为“coziness”，下文由“But”引出Maren Spark教授的观点“hygge不应该被翻译，而应用来感受”。由此可知，我们只有通过感受才能理解“hygge”的真正内涵。 10Which of the following can be best described as a “hygge” activity?ASkiing in the cold winter months.BLiving through long dark winters.CTaking afternoon tea with friends.DWalking alone in the forest.解析：选C推理判断题。由倒数第二段的第一句可知，“hygge”与创造一个温暖舒适的氛围并与你爱的人一起分享有关，故选C项。11The author writes this passage to_.Aexplain BpersuadeCcomment Dadvertise解析：选A写作目的题。纵观全文可以看出，文章采用情景介绍、概念介绍、举例说明的方式向我们介绍了一种通过创造舒适的环境来提高幸福指数的生活方式：hygge。故选A项。D(2019广州调研)Petrol and diesel cars may still dominate our roads, but their days are numbered. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 per cent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 per cent by 2020.One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety” drivers concerns about running out of juice on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. That said, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA. Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed quite considerably over the last few years. Not that long ago, electric cars were met with distrust, and their large price tags drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars is starting to persuade critics. Plugin cars will soon give internal combustion engine models a run for their money.As well as advancements on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrolpowered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery powered planes. The experiments could soon make commercial electric flight a reality.Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions. Were the US to act on the studys findings and replace 87 per cent of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 per cent. However, because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles, they cannot claim to be completely emissionfree. That said, as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了汽油和柴油车将逐步被电动汽车代替以及电动交通工具在未来的发展。12Which is the best title for this passage?AMy Dream CarBHistory of Electric CarsCProblems with Petrol CarsDDriving into the Future解析：选D标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了汽油和柴油车将逐步被电动汽车代替以及电动交通工具在未来的发展。D项“驶向未来”形象地概括了文章的主旨，故选D项。13As used in Paragraph 2, the underlined word “hurdle” means “_”AaimBbarrierCconsequence Dstep解析：选B词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“drivers concerns about running out of juice on a journey”可知，司机担心在路上没电的问题。因此，这是电动汽车普及的一个障碍，故选B项。14In the past, why did many people refuse to buy the electric cars?AThey were not good value.BThey were very poorly made.CThey were not widely promoted.DThey couldnt travel at a high speed.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“their large price tags drove customers away”可知，人们是被当时这种电动汽车的价格吓跑的；根据该段中的“Thanks to improvements in .is starting to persuade critics”可知，随着电池容量的增大、可充电次数的增加、汽车性能的改善和价格的优化，这一代电动汽车已经开始吸引消费者购买了。这说明以前的电动汽车在各方面还不够完善，人们认为不值那个价钱。故选A项。15What is the function of Paragraph 4?ATo introduce the history of electric travel.BTo explain why the world needs more electric cars.CTo show why more people have interest in electric cars.DTo describe different ways electric vehicles can be used.解析：选D推理判断题。根据第四段中的“electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies”可知，除了在公路上，其他地方也可以使用电动交通工具。故选D项。.阅读七选五History is a record of what has happened in the past._16_ The really fascinating thing is that much of history has been repeated time and again.It allows us to learn from the past, both the mistakes made and the successes achieved.One of the benefits of history is reading how other people both famous and totally unknown have overcome tremendous challenges in their life.
