1、Stephen Hawking’s final fear was that DNA manipulation would lead to a master race of superhumans. The physicist, who died aged 76 in March, 2018, 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 children’s 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 won’t 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.

3、     Created in 1998 by Casey and Shelley Black, the Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Center focuses on not only rescuing young abandoned wolves but educating the public. Unlike other centers, you can actually walk with the wolves and have exciting, hands-on interaction with them here. And so, we gathered one late winter morning to learn, prepare and walk.

     Scrappy and Flora,our wolves that day,were brought to the center when only a few days old. “They lived in the house with us for the first several months. We treated them like human babies, fed them and slept with them,” said Shelley. So, they are totally used to people. However, these are wild animals. For that reason, Shelley and Casey explained, the walk is totally on the wolf’s terms. “We don’t approach them, but if they come up to us, we can touch them. ”

     With all this in mind, we headed for the woods. We were walking on a logging road when suddenly,Flora, all 60 pounds of her,hurried up to me and raised up on her legs. She was almost as tall as me. As she leaned in, put her huge muddy paws on my shoulders and sniffed my face, apparently she was saying hello in wolf talk.

     We walked farther, maybe half a mile, while Scrappy and Flora dashed in and out of the woods stopping to occasionally roll in the snow,dig for this or that and just play. Then we all headed into the trees to a picturesque stream where the wolves splashed,drank and had a great time.

      One could point out that this whole adventure was staged and quite artificial. But the purpose, Casey and Shelley said,is to explain the wolves' place in the environment and,primarily,to let people know wolves don' t have to be universally feared—they really don' t hide secretly in the woods just waiting to eat people,but they' d rather avoid people,for the most part.

1.How is the Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Center different from others?

A.It trains and educates wild wolves.

B.It aims to rescue young abandoned wolves.

C.It raises wolves for commercial purposes.

D.It allows visitors to take a walk with wolves

2.What can be inferred from Shelley and Casey’s explanation in Paragraph 2?

A.The walk can be potentially dangerous.

B.The wolves have lost all their wildness.

C.People should get close to the wolves actively.

D.The wolves can read people’s mind like human babies.

3.Why did Flora behave like that when she saw the author on the logging road?

A.To express curiosity.

B.To show friendliness.

C.To attract attention.

D.To seek companionship.

4.Why do Casey and Shelley organize such an adventure?

A.To advertise the center.

B.To publicize wolf hunting.

C.To promote environmental protection.

D.To clarify some conventional views of wolves.

4、    I am often homesick. I have learned something about myself from it. I moved from Long Island to Florida three years ago. Even though I own a home in Port St. Lucie just minutes from the ocean, an uncontrollable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south. I guess I am a snowbird stuck in reverse. Instead of enjoying Florida’s milder winters, I willingly bear the severe weather on Long Island, the place I called home for 65 years.

    I’m like a migratory bird (候鸟) that has lost its sense of timing and direction, my wings flapping against season.

    So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbirds? The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am. Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees, I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire. I also long for the bright display of colors-first in the fall trees, and then in the lights around homes and at Rockefeller Center. Floridians decorate, too, but can’t create the special feel of a New England winter.

    I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I haven’t seen in months. What could be better than sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, or watching neighbors’ children excitedly open gifts on Christmas? Even the first snowfall seems special. I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snow-covered branch. (My wife and I spend winters at a retirement community in Ridge, and I’m grateful that I don’t have to shovel.)

    While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island, they are some of the reasons why I come back. Who says you can’t go home?

1.What’s the difference between Florida and Long Island?

A.Winters in Florida are milder.

B.The snowbirds in Florida are rarer.

C.Weather in Florida is severer.

D.Florida is nearer to the ocean.

2.What does the underlined word “reluctance” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.Coincidence.

B.Expectation.

C.Unwillingness.

D.Motivation.

3.Which of the following words can best describe the author?

A.Homesick and easy-going.

B.Hard-working and serious.

C.Imaginative and outspoken,

D.Anxious and painful.

4. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A.To describe his dream to be a free bird.

B.To express his feeling of missing his hometown.

C.To praise the beauty and warmth of his family life.

D.To explain the reasons for moving from his hometown.

5、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。

    I did not go on my first hike until my mid-30s. I could blame it on the fact that I grew up on the Great Plains of South Dakota and North Dakota. ①__________Having never gone, I dicing see the value and always shook my head when asked.

    ②__________At the urging of my wife, and with my two young kids, we walked a beautiful forest path on a cool August morning. 1 carried a small backpack with water and snacks (小吃). When we reached the top, we ate lunch together overlooking a perfectly still pond and a scenic Vemiont.

    A few weeks ago, my 11 -year-old son, my 61 -year-old dad, and I hiked Camelback Mountain in Phoenix. Last weekend, I hiked down the Grand Canyon with my son along the South Kaibab Trail. And later this week, my wife and daughter will join us lo walk the Waterfall Trail in the White Tank Mountains. ③__________

    Now, just to be clear, by no means would I classify myself  as an expert hiker. ④__________And I have no plans to climb Mount Kilimanjaro or walk the Appalachian Trail, But waking early on a Saturday morning to walk 3 —5 miles along a forest path with lunch in the backpack is a joumey I'd recommend to anyone.

    It is healthy physical exercise that creates wonderful memories. ⑤__________And given the chance, hiking teaches us important truths about life.

A. Mosl of our hikes only last 2 hours.

B. Fve fallen in love with climbing mountains.

C. I love the stillness and calm of an empty path.

D. But mostly, to be honest, I just wasn't interested.

E. If you can climb a mountain, you can do anything.

F. It provides an opportunity to slow down and disconnect.

G. I went on my first hike a few years back while living in Vermont.

9答案：

I wish to choose Mulan as my favorite cartoon character.

As a famous cartoon character in china, Mulan has enjoyed long lasting popularity among children, teenagers and even adults. Her story has been adapted into movies at home and abroad.

Living in the Wei Dynasty, a time of continuous war, every family was forced to send a man to join the army. However, Mulan's father was too old to fight, while her brother was too young to join. Thus, Mulan decided to conceal her gender and take her father's place to join the army. To her credit, she managed to integrate into the army without being recognized and even served better than most of her comrades. After years of fighting, Mulan returned to her hometown and cared for her elderly parents.

I have been fascinated by Mulan since the first time I read her story. With her bravery, sense of responsibility and deep love for her family, she has deeply influenced and greatly inspired me. No other characters are more encouraging than Mulan in my mind.

I would strongly recommend everyone to read Mulan's story or watch the movie about it.
