When I started writing words with pencils, I would twist them inside a sharpener to see if the pencil lead went all the way through the body. Growing up, I saw my television taken apart to reveal the inner workings that only made sense when I did a degree in physics.Then I landed a career in engineering, spending six years as part of the team that designed the Shard, a famous building in London. Actually, whether I knew it or not, I was already on a mission to understand how things are formed.After exploring the big, I decided to turn to the small. I realized whatever matter forms human-made objects, complex devices are made up of fundamental building blocks, without which our complex machinery wouldn’t exist.It is this idea that inspired my book where I select what I believe are seven core elements that form the basis of the world — the nail, the wheel, the spring, the magnet, the lens, the pump and the string. Together they compose a vast range of innovations in terms of their underlying scientific principles and the fields of engineering they touch. They’ve changed our technology and had a wide-ranging impact on our history, arts, culture, communication, political and power structures, etc.The blender we use to make baby’s food relies on gears, which couldn’t exist without the wheel. The speaker on the phone relies on a magnet. Even when we think of larger and more complex objects, diggers, skyscrapers, satellites, we come back to the same seven foundational innovations.So, look around you and ask questions about what you see: reignite that childhood curiosity. Hopefully, that will inspire you to investigate and lead you to a better understanding of the building blocks of our world.41. The author mentions crayons in Paragraph 1 in order to ________.A．explain his choice of college majorB．show his early passion for the insides of objectsC．highlight his disappointment at the discoveryD．demonstrate his fascination with tools42. What made the author’s book possibleA．His experience in designing buildings.B．His understanding of the origin of things.C．His finding of the components of machinery.D．His perspective on the operation of the world.43. What do we know about the seven core elementsA．They throw light on scientific principles.B．They have a profound influence on society.C．They mark an era of technological innovation.D．They represent the advancement in engineering.44. The underlined word “reignite” means ________A．to repeat B．to ignore C．to keep unchanged D．to make something strong again45. What can be the best title for the textA．Unlocking Basic Formation of the WorldB．The Importance of Asking QuestionsC．A Book on the Value of Big DreamsD．The Application of Core ElementsCYou are what you eat and what you eat may be encoded in your DNA. Studies have indicated that your genes play a role in determining the foods you find delicious or disgusting. But exactly how big a role they play has been difficult to figure out. “Everything has a genetic component, even if it’s small,” says Joanne Cole, a geneticist at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. “We know that there is some genetic contribution to why we eat the foods we eat. Can we take the next step and actually locate the regions in the genome (基因组) ”New research led by Cole has gotten a step closer. Through a large-scale genomics analysis, her team has identified 481 genome regions that were directly linked to dietary patterns and food preferences. The findings, which have not yet been peer-reviewed, were presented last month at the American Society for Nutrition’s annual conference.The team based the new study on a 2020 Nature Communications study by Cole and her colleagues that used data from the U. K. Biobank, a public database of the genetic and health information of 500,000 participants. By scanning genomes, the new analysis was able to identify 194 regions associated with dietary patterns and 287 linked to specific foods such as fruit, cheese, fish, tea and alcohol. Further understanding how genetics impacts how we eat could reveal differences in nutritional needs or disease risks.“One of the problems with a lot of these genomics studies is that they’re very small. They don’t have enough people to really be able to identify genes in ways that are credible (可信的). This study had a huge group of people, so it’s really powerful,” says Monica Dus, a geneticist at the University of Michigan. “The other thing that I think is really great is that there are so many different traits that they’re measuring related to diet, including cholesterol (胆固醇).” As the research advances, Dus says, such genome analysis could potentially assist health care providers and even policymakers to address larger issues that affect food access and health.It’s definitely true that it may contribute to making sure there aren’t food deserts — areas which have limited access to fresh, healthy and affordable food — or to making sure that there’s a higher minimum wage so that everyone can afford to eat, although the journey ahead remains lengthy and challenging.46. According to the passage, what influences a person’s food preferencesA．Genetic factors within a person’s DNA.B．A person’s knowledge about nutrition.C．Cultural background and traditions.D．The region where a person lives.47. The researchers conducted the present study by ________.A．involving a substantial number of participantsB．directly analyzing the data from a public databaseC．building on a previous study based on large-scale dataD．Identifying genome regions associated with dietary patterns48. Monica Dus will probably agree that ________.A．powerful participants were involved in the current studyB．the methods employed for the previous studies were credibleC．the genome analyses have helped address larger social issuesD．various features linked to diet were considered in the present study49. What’s the author’s attitude towards the present studyA．Critical. B．Optimistic. C．Skeptical. D．Indifferent.50. What is the text mainly aboutA．The benefits of latest large-scale diet-related genome analyses.B．The contribution of genes to diet patterns and food preferences.C．The significance of a newly published diet-related genome discovery.D．The introduction of a study on identifying diet-related genome regions.四、阅读表达Maggie was living an average comfortable life. It was made even better when a beautiful baby girl came her way.Maggie was a partner in her husband’s business. They both had a different set of duties which kept everything in balance. One day a hard blow came to her husband’s business and over a three-year period the business dropped out of sight. Her husband had to totally reinvent himself and fulfill a dream with a new job.

She was self-employed with her husband for almost 20 years. It felt as though that didn’t count for anything.One of the first applications she had filled out finally came through. She passed the interview with flying colors and was told she was exactly what they were looking for. Although it was only part time, it was exactly what she wanted. It was important for her to be home when her daughter arrived home from school. She was told they would be in touch when the schedule was ready.Within a few weeks though, she received an e-mail saying that the company had changed the job into a full-time position and she was not qualified. Maggie was so upset. She began to cry, softly at first just from the pure pain of being rejected. Three years of struggle had finally caught up with her. Then she cried harder and yelled.Finally, she calmed down and an idea came to her. She decided to offer the old home care assistance since she had helped her mom. She printed off some cards and distributed them. Within a week, she had two new employers. Now, even though she’s not a CEO of a major company, she feels happy and productive again.51.

However, they are facing severe threats nowadays. Many wetlands are shrinking sharply, and wetland biodiversity has decreased greatly due to human activities.Two main factors account for the worsening situation. First, rapid urbanization and industrial expansion occupy large areas of wetland. Second, industrial wastewater and domestic pollution destroy wetland habitats, killing various creatures living there.It is high time that we took effective measures to protect wetlands. The government should make strict laws to prevent wetland destruction. Besides, public awareness of wetland protection should be raised. Only by joint efforts can we preserve precious wetlands for future generations.
