Laurent Simons, who is studying electrical engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology, is set to finish his degree by December, CNN reported. The young genius will then go for his PhD in electrical engineering, while also working for a degree in medicine. Prestigious universities like Cambridge, Harvard around the world have already reached out to recruit Laurent, but his parents, Lydia and Alexander Simons, wouldn’t say where the youngster plans to pursue his next degree. Laurent’s grandparents were the first to recognize he had a gift, his parents told CNN. “They noticed something very special about Laurent,” Lydia said. Then his teachers confirmed he was no ordinary student. “They told us he is like a sponge,” Alexander told CNN. The absorption of information is no problem for Laurent. Laurent comes from a family of doctors — but his parents are still grappling to explain how he absorbs knowledge so quickly. “I ate a lot of fish during the pregnancy,” Lydia joked. Sjoerd Hulshof, an education director for the electrical engineering bachelor’s program at the university, told CNN that Laurent is “simply extraordinary.” “Laurent is the fastest student we have ever had here,” he said. “Not only is he hyper intelligent but also a very sympathetic boy.” The university has allowed Laurent to complete his studies faster than others — which Hulshof said is “not unusual.” 24. What does the underlined word “prestigious” most probably mean? A. respected and admired B. meaningful and expensive C. ideal and unforgettable D. valuable and luxurious 25. Who first discovered that Laurent Simons was gifted? A. his parents B. his teachers C. his grandparents D. his peers 26. Which of the following best describes Laurent Simons EXCEPT ___________? A. intelligent B. sympathetic C. extraordinary D. stubborn - 6 - 27. We can learn from the passage that ___________. A. Laurent will continue his schooling for his PHD in Eindhoven University of Technology. B. Eindhoven University of Technology absolutely lies in Belgium. C. The reason for Laurent’s being smart is that his mother ate enough fish before giving birth to him. D. Besides electrical engineering, Laurent is also interested in other science fields. C The hands of nature have always sculpted works of breathtaking beauty, creating an unusual sight at the home of Santa Claus. A rare collection of “ice eggs” recently took over a beach in Finland, the result of highly particular conditions according to The Guardian. Amateur photographer Risto Mattila was among those who came across the icy balls on Hailuoto Island in the Gulf of Bothnia between Finland and Sweden. “The biggest of the eggs was about the size of a football,” Mattila told The Guardian. “It was an amazing view. I have never seen that phenomenon before.” The “eggs” are created by a rare process in which small pieces of ice are rolled over by wind and water, experts said. It needs the right air temperature (below zero, but only a bit), the right water temperature (near freezing point), a shallow and gently sloping sandy beach and calm waves, maybe a light swell, said Jouni Vainio, an ice specialist at the Finnish Meteorological Institute. It also needs something to act as the core. The core begins to collect ice around it and the swell moves it along the beach, forward and backward. A small ball’s surface gets wet, freezes and becomes bigger, Vainio added. Autumn is the perfect season to observe the phenomenon, according to James Carter, emeritus professor of geography-geology at Illinois State University, as this is when ice starts to form on the surface of water, causing a form of slush when moved by waves. Similar sights have also been found in Russia and on Lake Michigan near Chicago. Back in 2016, local residents of Nyda in Siberia saw giant balls of ice and snow covering an 18-kilometer stretch of coastline, ranging from the size of a tennis ball to almost 1 meter across. Chinese netizens, stunned by the magic of nature, said everyone is duty-bound to protect the environment so nature will reward us with more surprises. Some would like to touch these icy balls themselves, joking - 7 - that “If there are ice eggs, there are ice chickens.” 28. How are the ice eggs formed? A. Small pieces of ice are rolled over by wind and water. B. They are set by photographer Risto Mattila. C. Little cores begin to collect snow around them and the swell moves them along the beach. D. Drops of cold rain get frozen and then roll to the beach. 29. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. People can enjoy the unusual sights in different parts of the world. B. The formation of ice eggs needs a lot of conditions. C. The appearance of ice eggs shows a disastrous phenomenon. D. Some specialists began to do some research about the unusual phenomenon. 30. What do people suggest by saying “If there are ice eggs, there are ice chickens.” ? A. Chickens hatch out of eggs. B. If everyone protects the environment, nature will reward us with more surprises. C. Nature can create both eggs and chickens. D. In future, ice eggs and ice chickens will appear at the same time. 31. Where is this text most likely from? A. A diary. B. A guidebook. C. A novel. D. A web page. D AIDS may be one of the most undesirable diseases in the world. Luckily, there is now hope for AIDS patients. According to a recent paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine, Chinese scientists have successfully used CRISPR technology – a method of gene editing – to treat a patient with HIV. While it may not have cured the patient fully, it still represents a huge step forward in fighting the disease. The patient was a 27-year-old Chinese man who was diagnosed with both AIDS and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (急性淋巴细胞白血病), a type of blood cancer. Despite his hopeless situation, doctors offered him a glimmer of hope: a bone marrow (骨髓) transplant to treat his cancer and an experimental treatment for his HIV. - 8 - They used this opportunity to edit the DNA in bone marrow stem cells from a donor before transplanting the cells into the patient. Specifically, the treatment involved using the gene-editing tool CRISPR-Cas9 to delete a gene known as CCR5, which encodes a protein that HIV uses to get inside human cells. Without the gene, HIV is unable to infiltrate cells. Talking about the gene, lead scientist Deng Hongkui told CNN, “After being edited, the cells — and the blood cells they produce — have the ability to resist HIV infection.” Nineteen months after the treatment, the patient’s leukemia was in complete remission (缓 解) and donor cells without CCR5 remained, according to the research paper. Though the transplant did not cure the man’s HIV, it still showed the effectiveness of gene-editing technology, as there was no indication of any unintended genetic alterations – a major concern with past gene therapy experiments. Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Centre for Health Security in the United States, who was not involved in the study, praised the treatment. “They did a very innovative experiment. It was safe,” he told Live Science. “It should be viewed as a success.” Deng believes gene-editing technology could “bring a new dawn” to blood-related diseases such as AIDS and sickle cell anemia (镰刀形细胞性贫血). “Thanks to this new technology, the goal of a functional cure for AIDS is getting closer and closer,” he said. 32. The technology of CRISPR is to ___________. A. transplant cells B. encode genes C. remove proteins D. produce cells 33. What was the result of the treatment? A. CCR5 and other genes in the patient’s cells were changed. B. The number of cells infected by HIV decreased. C. Some of the patient’s blood cells could resist HIV infection. D. HIV no longer existed in the patient’s cells. 34. What do we know about the experiment? A. It provided an innovative way to cure AIDS patients. B. It pointed out the problems of gene therapy. C. It could offer a safe treatment for blood-related diseases. - 9 - D. It’s the first experiment to use gene-editing technology to treat AIDS. 35. Which is the best title of the passage? A. A New Treatment to Patients B. New Hope for HIV Patients C. A New Medical Invention D. New Technology, New Hope 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。 It is an issue that is constantly being discussed in the media by politicians, scientists and activists. 36 Essentially, climate change is a long-term shift in average weather patterns and temperatures on a large and global scale. The huge increase in human contribution to the release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases means that there has been a global temperature rise and consequently changes to our global climate. 37 It saw a boom in large-scale industries and manufacturing but ultimately also saw widespread pollution across the majority of more economically developed countries. According to the Met Office, the global temperature was stable around 11,000 years before the Industrial evolution. 38 However, since this, the level of carbon dioxide in the air has risen due to the burning of fossil fuels releasing harmful greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane into the air, causing them to build up in the Earth’s atmosphere. 39 How does climate change affect the Earth? Climate change has been seen to contribute to rising ocean levels, increased acidification of our oceans, and more frequent extreme weather events such as droughts, heatwaves, and flooding. 40 As such, the need to make changes to human activity must be addressed in the near future. A. These can all contribute to food insecurity, global conflicts, migration and so on. B. Therefore, global warming is seen as a major component of climate change. C. It was 14°C on average. D. But what exactly is climate change? E. So what can humans do to prevent climate change? - 10 - F. The Industrial Revolution brought humans lots of benefits. G. It became more of an issue as a result of the Industrial Revolution in the 1800s. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分 45 分) 第一节 (共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Learning any language is hard, but learning English can be especially 41 . Why? Because native speakers use the language in ways that 42 could never describe. 43 , words that British people use cause many language students to 44 their heads. Here’s a/an 45 : You overhear a Briton calling someone a “wazzock”. But what 46 is a wazzock? This word, in fact, 47 a foolish person, although there’s nothing about it that would help you guess that. There are many strange 48 like this in British English—the Oxford English Dictionary would be much smaller without these peculiar(古怪的) usages filling its pages. How can these odd words be 49 ? Part of the answer is the British sense of humor. Britons don’t like to 50 things too seriously, and this is evident through many British words and phrases. For example, to “spend a penny” means to use the 51 . It refers to the days when people had to 52 a penny to use a public toilet. In an interview for the BBC’s website, British linguist David Crystal 53 there might be 54 reasons for the sheer number of odd words and phrases in British English. He thinks that they began in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. This was a great 55 for the theater, when Shakespeare and other writers worked hard to 56 the demand for new plays. The theater’s popularity also created an incentive(刺激) to 57 new words. With this in 58 , perhaps Shakespeare and his peers are to blame for 59 British words such as “codswallop” and “balderdash” — which both, ironically, mean “nonsense”. While these strange words may be 60 to non-native speakers, they certainly make studying English a lot more interesting. 41. A. demanding B. challenging C. caring D. promising 42. A. handbooks B. storybooks C. textbooks D. notebooks 43. A. In short B. In particular C. In despair D. In public - 11 - 44. A. scratch B. nod C. touch D. raise 45. A. idea B. reason C. problem D. example 46. A. simply B. punctually C. extremely D. exactly 47. A. shows B. means C. illustrates D. expresses 48. A. idioms B. sayings C. terms D. sounds 49. A. originated B. commented C. explained D. condemned 50. A. take B. make C. set D. put 51. A. bedroom B. living room C. waiting room D. bathroom 52. A. hit B. pay C. cost D. get 53.
