一、阅读理解
George Daniels lives in London. He is a watchmaker. His work continues the tradition of the English watchmakers of the 18th and 19th centuries. Today this tradition is almost dead. Daniels is the only man in the world who designs his own watches makes all the pars himself and then puts them together.
A Daniels watch is the product of his hands alone. One of his watches which is now in an American museum took 3500 hours to complete. He usually makes one watch a year. Each one is inscribed (刻) with “Daniels London” and costs about $10,000. Of course these are not ordinary watches—they are very beautiful and will last three centuries.

He is now internationally famous and many people would like him to make watches for them. But most of them will be disappointed. He chooses his customers very carefully indeed.

Alpha, Beta, Delta... these Greek letters used to only appear in our math classes but are now in use in news headlines.
Now, it’s Lambda. As the Delta variant (变 体) spreads throughout communities in Asia, Europe and the United States, another variant, Lambda, is spreading rapidly throughout South America, Forbes reported on Aug 10.
On May 31, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced a naming system for variants of COVID-19 that uses letters of the Greek alphabet (字母表). Before that, the public had to call a variant its scientific name or refer to it based on where it was identified.
For example, a variant of COVID-19 identified in South Africa in late 2020 was called variant 501Y.V2 or B.1.351. Media also called the same virus “the South African variant”. Now, everyone calls it “Beta”.
Compared to complicated scientific names, the Greek letters are much easier to remember. “It is a lot easier for a radio newsreader to say ‘Delta’ than bee-one-six-one-seven-two,” Jeffrey Barrett, a UK statistical geneticist told Nature.
WHO hopes this change will help stop the stigma (污名) associated with geography-based names. “I can understand why people just call it ‘the South African variant’ — they don’t mean anything by it,” Salim Abdool Karim, an epidemiologist in South Africa, told Nature. “The problem is, if we allow it to continue, some ill-intentioned people may take advantage of it.” “No country should be stigmatized for detecting and reporting variants,” Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO’s COVID-19 technical lead, wrote on Twitter.
As the virus is still evolving, 11 variants have been named so far. What if the 24 Greek letters are not enough? “We will possibly run out of the Greek alphabet, but we’re already looking at the next series of names,” Van Kerkhove told The Telegraph. “We’re actually considering star constellations(星座).”
Currently, the Virus Evolution Working Group and WHO’s legal team are double checking proposals to “make sure we don’t upset anyone with these names”, Van Kerkhove told The Telegraph.
11、What do Lambda and Delta have in common?
A.They are both chosen by Greek scientists.
B.They are both confusing to understand.
C.They are both Greek names of varieties of COVID-19.
D.They are both the places where COVID-19 was found.
12、What does Salim Abdool Karim probably agree with?
A.The virus should be named after the place where it is found and spread.
B.No country should detect or study COVID-19 without WHO’s permission.
C.People felt uncomfortable when they call COVID-19 “the South African variant”.
D.Some people with bad intention may judge other countries reporting COVID-19.
13、Why are scientists looking for the next series of names?
A.Because the naming system in use is not convenient.
B.Because the variants may outnumber the Greek letters.
C.Because people are more curious about star constellations.
D.Because it is illegal to rename the variants with letters.
14、What’s the purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce new ways of renaming COVID-19 varieties.
B.To describe how scientists identified the varieties of COVID-19.
C.To explain why some people prefer geography-based names.
D.To arouse people’s awareness of more COVID-19 varieties.
15、In which part of a magazine could you find this passage?
A.Science. B.Travel. C.Sports. D.First Aid.
Welcome to your future life.

36、答案：①increasing；②helps；③largest；④permanently；⑤that/which；⑥activities；⑦for；⑧starvation；⑨to control；⑩but/yet
解析：①increasing 考查非谓语动词。increasing population意为“正在增长的人口”。
②helps 考查主谓一致。从句的主语是having a large variety of plants,故谓语动词用单数形式helps。
③largest 考查形容词最高级。表示世界上“最大的”用最高级largest。
④permanently 考查副词。用副词形式修饰动词disappear。
⑤that/which 考查定语从句。先行词是genes,且从句中缺少主语,故用关系代词that或which。
⑥activities 考查名词复数。activity为可数名词,故用名词复数形式。
⑦for 考查介词。be responsible for意为“对……负有责任”。
⑧starvation 考查名词。介词from后跟starve的名词形式作宾语。
⑨to control 考查非谓语动词。表示目的“为了控制病虫害”,用动词不定式作状语。
⑩but/yet 考查连词。表示转折用but或yet。
