He knows the child loves Peppa Pig but has no clue what it is. So he goes around the village, asking everyone if they know anything about Peppa Pig. Then using the little information he gets as well as his imagination, he welds (焊接) metal together to resemble the face of Peppa Pig though he has never seen it.The most touching thing for many viewers is the story of how a “leftbehind” old man accomplishes an impossible task.“The grandfather doesnt stop or complain，” Ju Shiyi, a public relations manager said. “He asks as many people as he knows, analyzes their answers and works on them.”The British cartoon series has been popular in China as well since it began to be shown in the country in 2015.

But Americans do not support changing the genetic structure, or DNA of children so that they can be faster, taller or more intelligent.The research was carried out by the Associated PressNORC Center for Public Affairs Research, which suggests that 81% of Americans approve of using gene editing to prevent killer diseases such as Huntingtons disease, and 65% agree to use gene editing to prevent conditions like blindness. However, 66% oppose using gene editing to change qualities such as intelligence or athletic ability. They are also against changing physical qualities such as eye color or height.Gene editing takes out a part of DNA to remove, replace or repair a gene. Changes to adult cells only affect the person being treated. But editing genes in embryos (胚胎) can change the resulting children in ways that can be passed to future generations. Due to its important effects, the International Council for Science says gene editing should not yet be tested on humans. Scientists say more laboratory research is needed to prove whether it is safe or not.Dr. Robert Klitzman, who studies biological research rules, noted that if fertility (生育) clinics start to edit the genes of embryos, there will be hard choices to make about what conditions can be changed. “Its one thing to look at the extremes of deadly diseases versus surface things, but in the middle are going to be these very different issues.” he said.The study suggests a lack of trust in the technology. Nearly 90% of the people in the study worry whether it will be used in a moral way.体裁：议论文题材：科普知识主题：对基因编辑的讨论【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了“基因编辑”的相关内容，以及美国人对于该技术应用前景的不同看法。【难句分析】Dr. Robert Klitzman, who studies biological research rules, noted that if fertility clinics start to edit the genes of embryos, there will be hard choices to make about what conditions can be changed.分析：本句为主从复合句。其中主语为Dr. Robert Klitzman，who引导的定语从句修饰前面的Dr. Robert Klitzman，that引导宾语从句，从句中if引导条件状语从句，what引导宾语从句。译文：研究生物学研究规则的罗伯特克利茨曼博士指出，如果生育诊所开始编辑胚胎的基因，将会很难抉择哪些状况是可以改变的。8In which aspect do most Americans approve of using gene editing?ARunning swifter. BPreventing deadly diseases.CChanging eye color. DImproving intelligence.答案与解析：B考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“8l% of Americans approve of using gene editing to prevent killer diseases such as Huntingtons disease”可知，大部分美国人赞同使用基因编辑技术来预防某些致命疾病，例如亨廷顿病，故选B项。9What do we know about gene editing from the text?AIt tends to influence the future generations.BIt will become widely used in a moral way.CIt edits all parts of DNA in a new way.DIt has been tested safe to use on human beings.答案与解析：A考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“But editing genes in embryos can change the resulting children in ways that can be passed to future generations.”可知，编辑胚胎的基因能够改变出生的孩子，这种改变可以传递给后代，由此可知基因编辑会影响后代，故选A项。10What is Dr. Roberts attitude to the use of geneediting technology to create babies?AUninterested. BSupportive.CCautious. DDisappointed.答案与解析：C考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段罗伯特克利茨曼博士的话，特别是hard，very different issues等，可推测他认为应慎重地将基因编辑技术用于人类，故选C项。11From which is the text probably taken?AA biology textbook.

But the glacier was gone, melted by the warming climate. Sharp had a deep sense of loss when she discovered the glacier wasnt there anymore.Loss is a growing issue for people working and living on the front lines of climate change. And that gave Jennifer Wren Atkinson, a fulltime lecturer at the University of Washington Bothell, US, an idea for a class.This term, she taught students on the Bothell campus about the emotional burdens of environmental studies. She used the experiences of Native American tribes (部落), scientists and activists, and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy fix that “this is such an intractable problem that theyre going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.”Student Cody Dillon used to be a climate science skeptic (怀疑论者). Then he did his own reading and research, and changed his mind.Dillon wasnt going into environmental work he was a computerscience major. Yet, the potential for a worldwide environmental catastrophe seemed so real to him five years ago that he quit his job and became a fulltime volunteer for an environmental group that worked on restoration (恢复) projects.Six months into the work, he decided that Atkinsons class was just what he was looking for a place where he could discuss his concerns about a changing climate.Atkinson said she hopes the class helped her students prepare themselves for the amount of environmental loss that will happen over their lifetimes.“We are already changing the planet so many species are going to be lost, displaced or massively impacted，” she said. “The future isnt going to be what they imagined.”体裁：夹叙夹议文题材：环保主题：冰川融化，环境亟待保护【语篇解读】Fawn Sharp通过一次搭乘直升机飞行的经历认识到了冰川融化和环境污染问题的严重性，同时Jennifer Wren Atkinson决定给学生开设课程，教学生如何面对环境污染。她的课程让很多学生关注环境问题。【难句分析】Yet, the potential for a worldwide environmental catastrophe seemed so real to him five years ago that he quit his job and became a fulltime volunteer for an environmental group that worked on restoration (恢复) projects.分析：这是一个主从复合句。句中使用了so. that句型，意为“如此以至于”；“that worked on restoration (恢复) projects”为that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词“an environmental group”。译文：然而，五年前，潜在的全球性环境灾难对他来说似乎是如此真实以至于他放弃了自己的工作，成为一名致力于环境恢复工程的环保组织的全职志愿者。12Why did the author mention the case of Fawn Sharp?ATo lay a basis for Fawn Sharps further research.BTo prove Fawn Sharps work is similar to Atkinsons.CTo lead into the issue of loss caused by climate change.DTo show scientists concern about the Mount Anderson glacier.答案与解析：C考查推理判断。通读第一段可知，Fawn Sharp在一次直升机飞行中意识到气候变化导致了冰川融化。由此可推知，作者在第一段中提及Fawn Sharp的例子是为了引出下文气候变化导致环境问题的话题，故选C。13Whats the main purpose of Atkinsons class?ATo explore how different people deal with climate change.BTo get students more concerned about the environmental issue.CTo find solutions to the environmental issue of Olympic Mountains.DTo teach students how to conduct research about environment.答案与解析：B考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy fix that this is such an intractable problem that theyre going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.”可知，她让她的24个学生面对这个事实没有简单的解决方法，这是一个很难解决的问题，学生们将用他们的余生来解决这个问题。由此可知，Atkinson的课程的目的是让学生更加关注环境问题，故选B。14Which of the following best explains “intractable” underlined in Paragraph Three?ASimple. BDifficult.CCommon. DInteresting.答案与解析：B考查词义猜测。根据上文可知，Atkinson用美洲土著部落、科学家以及积极分子们的经历让她的24个学生面对这个事实没有简单的解决方法，并结合该句“this is such an intractable problem that theyre going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives”可知，这是一个如此困难的问题以至于学生们要用他们的余生来解决它，故选B。15How did Atkinsons class influence Dillon?AIt made him work as a parttime volunteer for restoration projects.BIt made him realize a planetwide climate disaster would happen.CIt encouraged him to be more involved in environmental protection.DIt discouraged him to work on restoration projects for the environment.答案与解析：C考查推理判断。根据倒数第三段“Six months into the work. discuss his concerns about a changing climate”可知，Dillon在环保组织做了六个月志愿者之后，他认为在Atkinson的课堂上他可以讨论他对气候变化的担忧；由此可推知，Atkinson的课鼓励Dillon参与环境保护，故选C。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。2019绵阳市诊断How to Choose a DogDogs have always been considered as the most popular pet animals and loyal friends of humans.
