The physicist, who died aged 76 in March, 2020, thought the development could destroy the rest of human beings. His last prediction is revealed in a new book of his collected articles and essays called Brief Answers to Big Questions.Hawking feared rich people would soon be able to edit their childrens DNA to improve attributes like memory and disease immunity. And he said that would pose a crisis for the rest of the world even if politicians tried to illegalize the practice. In an extract(摘录)published by The Sunday Times, he wrote： I am sure that during this century people will discover how to modify both intelligence and instincts such as aggression. Laws will probably be passed against genetic engineering with humans. But some people wont be able to resist the temptation to improve human characteristics, such as memory, resistance to disease and length of life. And he said that would cause huge problems for humans who have not undergone the same process, leaving them unable to compete. The professor even warned it could lead to the extinction of humanity as we know it. He said of normal humans： Presumably they will die out, or become unimportant. Instead, there will be a race of self-designing beings who are improving at an ever-increasing rate. The Brief History of Time author also refers to techniques like Crispr, which enables scientists to modify harmful genes and add in others. And although such procedures could be a boost for medical science, some critics are worried that they could cause a eugenics-style(优生方式)movement, where the weak are weeded out of society.The new book, published by Hodder & Stoughton on Tuesday, also collects his writings on what he thought were the big questions facing science and wider society. In it, he examines whether aliens exist, colonize space and whether humans will ever go beyond our Solar System.8. Stephen Hawkings views dont include _ .A.

Favorable.D. Concerned.11. What does the text mainly want to tell us？ _A. Crispr can enable scientists to get harmful genes changed.B. DNA manipulation will create a master race of superhumans.C. Humans will colonize space and go beyond our Solar System.D. DNA manipulation may lead to the extinction of human beings.DMy first introduction to Chinese art was an early morning walk in Beihai Park in Beijing. There, I saw elderly people writing on the pavement with paintbrushes which were a metre long! I soon learned that they were doing water calligraphy - writing in water. The words have meanings, but they are also art. The calligraphy quickly disappears, of course. But tomorrow, the old people will be back.Temporary art like this is very popular in China. Every winter, Harbin, in northern China, is visited by sculptors and tourists from around the world. They come for the Harbin Ice Festival, when the city has huge sculptures made out of ice. The sculptures are bigger than houses, and they take weeks to make. Harbins freezing winter temperatures make it very difficult for the artists to work outside. But the weather also means that the sculptures will be protected until the spring.Of course, not all Chinese art is temporary - some of it has been around for a very long time! Near the city of Xian, I visited the amazing terracotta warriors, or soldiers. In 200BC, 8,000 statues of soldiers were made by sculptors out of a material called terracotta. They are as big as real people and they all have different faces. An important king had the statues produced to protect his body after he died. They stayed under the ground with the dead king for over 2,000 years, until they were discovered by a farmer in 1974.At the China Art Museum, in Shanghai, I saw wonderful 16th-century Chinese paintings of tall mountains, trees and cliffs. The paintings were beautiful, but they didnt look very realistic to me at the time. Mountains arent like that, I thought. But that was before the last stop on my trip: the mountains of Zhangjiajie National Park.These mountains were used by film director James Cameron in his sci-fi film Avatar because they look like something from another planet. On my last weekend in China, I took a cable car up into the mountains there. Trees grew on the sides of hundred-metre cliffs, and strange towers of rock appeared out of the morning fog. It looked just like the pictures in the China Art Museum. For a moment, I felt like I was inside a Chinese painting!12. According to the passage, what is true about the people in Beihai Park？ _A. They introduced themselves to the writer.B. Some of them were writing graffiti(涂鸦）.C. Their art didnt last very long.D. They use paint and big brushes.13. What does the author say about the ice festival in Harbin？ _A. The sculptures dont last long.B. Its only popular with local people.C. Its easy to make sculptures out of ice.D. The winter weather both helps and causes problems.14. What is true about the terracotta soldiers of Xian according to the passage？ _A. They all look exactly the same.B. They stayed under the ground for a long time.C. Many people died making them.D. They are bigger than real people.15. Which statement describes the authors feelings about Chinese art？ _A. She particularly liked Chinese paintings made long time ago.B. She was impressed by different types of Chinese art.C. She did not think it was very realistic.D. She was surprised that it was so old.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题,共10.0分）How to Fight Laziness?Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.(16).Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work.
