新郑市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空类训练（17）及答案阅读理解 with fifteen years britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes of the recy cling of waste. the word rubbishcould lose its meaning be- cause everything which goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else. the latest project is to take a city of around half a million citizens and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. the aim is to find out how much of these raw ma terials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. this plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well. another new-project is being set up to discover the best way of sorting and separating the rubbish. when this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: first, it will pass through sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that founders and rollers will break up everything that can be broken. finally. the rubbish will pass under magnets (磁铁), which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.the first full-size giant recycling plants are perhaps fifteen years away. indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long. 1. the underlined part should be well on with(para. 1 ) most probably means_. a. complete b. get ready to start c. achieve a great deal in d. put an end to 答案：c

similar to what a texas a & m university researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “noahs ark”. noahs ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and dna of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. if certain species should become extinct, dr. duane kraemer, a professor in texas a & ms college of veterinary medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future. it is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds, reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years. the panda, native only to china, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years. this week, chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a japanese white rabbit. they are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal. the entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete. “the nuclear transfer of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available(capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem,” kraemer believes. “they will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). it takes a long time and its difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. they are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the project at texas a & m, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog. “they are trying to do something thats never been done, and this is very similar to our work in noahs ark. were both trying to save animals that face extinction. i certainly appreciate their effort and theres a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. its a research that is very much needed.” 53. the aim of “noahs ark” project is to _.a. make efforts to clone the endangered pandas b. save endangered animals from dying outc. collect dna of endangered animals to study d. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another54. according to professor kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of _.a. available panda eggs b. host animals c. qualified researchersd. enough money55. the best title for the passage may be _.a. chinas success in pandas cloning b. the first cloned panda in the worldc. exploring the possibility to clone pandas d. china the native place of pandas forever56. from the passage we know that _.a. kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dogb. scientists try to implant a pandas egg into a rabbitc. kraemer will work with chinese scientists in clone researchesd. about two thousand of species will probably die out in a century参考答案53、-bac 56、d *结束 完形填空.（重庆卷）完形填空my father brought home a sailboat

cbbcd*结束far from the land of antarctica (南极洲), a huge shelf of ice meets the ocean. at the underside of the shelf there lives a small fish, the antarctic cod.for forty years scientists have been curious about that fish. how does it live where most fish would freeze to death? it must have some secret. the antarctic is not a comfortable place to work and research has been slow. now it seems we have an answer. research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish. scientists studied the fishs blood and measured its freezing point. the fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of -1.88c and many tiny pieces of ice floating in it. the blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to -2.05c. that small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice-salt mixture.the scientists next research job was clear: find out what in the fishs blood kept it from freezing. their search led to some really strange thing made up of a protein (蛋白质) never before seen in the blood of a fish. when it was removed, the blood froze at seawater temperature. when it was put back, the blood again had its antifreeze quality and a lowered freezing point.study showed that it is an unusual kind of protein. it has many small sugar molecules held in special positions within each big protein molecule. because of its sugar content, it is called a glycoprotein. so it has come to be called the antifreeze fish glycoprotein, or afgp.57. what is the text mainly about?a. the terrible conditions in the antarctic. b. a special fish living in freezing waters.c. the ice shelf around antarctica. d. protection of the antarctic cod.58. why can the antarctic cod live at the freezing temperature?a. the seawater has a temperature of -1.88c. b. it loves to live in the ice-salt mixturec. a special protein keeps it from freezing. d. its blood has a temperature lower than -2.05c.59. what does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to?a. a type of ice-salt mixture. b. a newly found protein.c. fish blood. d. sugar molecule.60. what does “glyco-” in the underlined word “glycoprotein” in the last paragraph mean?a. sugar b. ice c. blood d. molecule参考答案57-60、bcba*结束 both warm-blooded and cold-blooded desert animals have ways to escape the desert heat. warm-blooded desert animals, such as rats and mice, rest during the day, often staying in cool underground burrows. at night they search for food. animals that are out during the day, such as cold-blooded lizards and snakes, are active only for short periods. as their body tem- perature rises, these reptiles move into the shade in order to cool down. in the early evening, when the sun grows weaker, the reptiles become more active and begin their search for food again. getting enough water to survive is a major problem for all desert animals. some desert animals, like desert birds, manage to find water holes. other desert animals, such as the kangaroo rat and the related jerboa, get water only from the food that they eat. because these animals eat mainly dry seeds, they must survive on a tiny amount of water. most deserts have only a small number of frogs and toads because these animals must be near water to survive. yet even these creatures have adapted (适应) to desert conditions. when small amounts of water collect in temporary streams, the desert-living frogs and toads become active. after a rainfall, they lay their eggs. the eggs grow into tadpoles in a few days and into adults in just four weeks, when the puddles (7(t7i;) dry up, the adult frogs or toads dig into the ground. their metabolism (新陈代谢) slows, and they stay beneath the ground until the next rain, which may be as good as a year away. until then, their bodily activities continue at a reduced rate.the camel-often called the ship of the desert-is one of the most successful desert animals. camels can go for long pe- riods without water, but eventually they must drink. when water becomes available to them after a long drought, they may drin
