第Ⅰ卷

第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分)略

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。

A

A freshly baked roll is as delightful as a soft, light cloud on a summer’s day. What gives bread much of its appealing texture is gluten(麸质), a group of proteins found in wheat. But in people with celiac disease(乳糜泻), gluten damages the small intestine(肠). Many others may have milder gluten intolerance and avoid foods that contain it.

Most gluten-free bread is made from alternative flours such as rice or potato, so it tastes and feels different from wheat bread. Now, however, researchers say that they have found a way to genetically engineer wheat that contains far less of the most troublesome type of gluten — but still has other proteins that give bread its characteristic taste and springiness.

Genetically modified crops are the subject of fierce debate around the world. The biggest concern involves the practice of inserting DNA from one species into another, says Francisco Barro, a plant biotechnologist. To avoid this genetic crossover, Barro and his colleagues used the gene-editing technique CRISPR／Cas9 to cut selected genes from a wheat genome(基因组).

Their study zeroed in on alpha-gliadins(α-胶质蛋白), gluten proteins believed to be wheat’s major troublemakers in the immune system. The researchers designed bits of genetic material that directed the scissor-like Cas9 protein to cut out 35 of the 45 alpha-gliadin genes.When the modified wheat was tested in a Petri dish, it produced an 85 percent weaker immune response, the team reported online last September in Plant Biotechnology Journal.

Wendy Harwood, a crop geneticist at the John Innes Center in England, who was not part of the study, notes that the engineered wheat has a long way to go before it can be turned into anything marketable. “I don’t think it’s the end of the story.” she says. “This is just a really important step in maybe producing something that is going to be incredibly useful.” To develop a completely safe strain of wheat for celiac patients，the researchers may need to target more of the gluten genes. Barro says his team is working on that.

21. What’s the text mainly about?

A. Making gluten-free bread.

B. Advantages of gluten-free wheat.

C. Debate about genetically modified crops.

D. Developing genetically engineered wheat.

22. Why is bread mentioned in paragraph 1?

A. To advertise a new study.

B. To raise the topic to be written about.

C. To provide some advice for the readers.

D. To popularize some information about medicine.

23. What concerns people most according to paragraph 3?

A. Genetic crossover.        B. Gene-editing technique.

C. The practice of using DNA.      D. The subject of fierce debate.

24. What’s Wendy Harwood’s attitude towards engineered wheat?

A. A little alarmed.         B. Mildly surprised.

C. Somewhat opposed.        D. Cautiously optimistic.

British Women Writers in different periods of time

The English Renaissance

The English Renaissance began in the later part of the fifteenth century and lasted until the 1660s. Among the most famous women writers of this period is Aphra Behn, who is seen as the first professional woman writer in English. Aphra Behn’s works include also the plays The Amourous Prince, The Town Fop, The Dutch Lover and her only tragedy, Abdelazer.

The neoclassical period

Among the well-known women in British literature during the neoclassical period, from 1660 to the end of the eighteenth century, is Anne Finch. She wrote poetry and tried to express all that she saw and experienced. Another woman was recognized for her contribution to neoclassical British literature: Mary Astell. Mary Astell was a philosopher and a feminist writer. She is best known now for her theories on the education of women.

The Romantic period

Jane Austen is one of the most famous women writers that worked during the Romantic period (1798-1832). Her works include several novels, most of which focus on marriage as a way for young women to secure social standing and economic security. Her most famous novels are Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Emma.

The Victorian period

The Victorian period, between the 1830s and 1900, was the time when the Bronte sisters, George Eliot and Elizabeth Gaskell lived and wrote. Charlotte Bronte, Emily Bronte and Anne Bronte produced many British literary classics. Mary Anne Evans adopted the male pen name George as she wanted to set herself apart from the feminine genre(女性主义流派) of cookbooks and domestic moral tales. Her most famous novel is The Mill on the Floss published in 1860.

25. According to the passage, Aphra Behn was famous for ________.

A. novels       B. poetry        C. plays        D. cookbooks

26. According to the passage, why did Mary Anne Evans publish her stories under the name of George Eliot?

A. Women were forbidden to write novels then.     B. Her works would be different.

C. It helped promote her works.        D. It sounded more popular.

27. If a reader is interested in women’s education, whose works can be the best choice?

A. Anne Finch’s.           B. Mary Astell’s.

C. Mary Wortley Montagu’s.         D. Mary Shelley’s.

C

Regardless of how far we’d like to believe gender(性别) equality in the workplace has come, there’s still a yawning gap between male and female leaders in the professional world. A 2018 statistic shows that women nowadays hold just 5.8 percent of CEOs positions at S&P 500 companies, according to Catalyst.

While it’s not a huge shock that women are somewhat underrepresented in leadership positions, what is surprising though, is the fact that females may actually be better suited to lead in almost every area, at least according to new findings from the BI Norwegian Business School.

In their research, Professor Oyvind L. Martinsen and Professor Lars Glas surveyed (调查) 2,900 managers with a special focus on personality types. The results were clear: Women scored higher than men in four of the five major leadership-centric categories.

While some people believe that men inherently make better leaders — probably because they picture a leader with a commanding voice, which is more typical of men than women — this piece of research suggests that women are better at methodical management and goal-setting, openness, sociability and supportiveness, as well as ability to communicate clearly.

There was one area in which men scored higher than women, though, and that was on emotional stability and ability to face job-related pressure and stress. The results suggest that women are more sensitive to the effects of high-pressure or highly emotional situations.

Obviously, it’s important to consider individual (个人的) differences. Anyone, regardless of gender, may be an inspiring leader and a competent boss. But next time you’re hiring for a management position, you just might want to give the resumes (简历) from female candidates a harder look.

28. What makes us shocked much at leadership positions?

A. Women are worse than men.

B. Men take almost all high positions.

C. There is a huge gap between genders.

D. Women might behave better in nearly every field.

29. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “inherently” in Paragraph 4?

A. properly          B. potentially

C. naturally          D. normally

30. Which of the following may be the best title of this text?

A. How We Can Figure Out The Boss

B. Why Women Are Better Than Men

C. Why Women Make The Best Bosses

D. How We Can Tell Gender Difference

31. Who might have special interest in this article?

A. Job hunters.      B. Employers.

C. Employees.       D. Male bosses.

University of New South Wales has launched its new 12-month Women in Maths & Science Champions Program designed to give women the skills and confidence to build their public recognition and set up a connected network of women in maths and science. The first group of 30 female PhD students started in August this year, and the second group of 19 early-career researchers was formally announced yesterday.

Over the 12 months, the champions complete at least 20 hours of related activities as part of a community of representatives who will influence and inspire women to pursue a career in maths and science. The activities are varied, ranging from visiting schools and conducting science presentations, to attending conferences and creating content for social media. At the end of the program, PhD champions have the chance to apply everything they’ve learned to the Postgraduate Research Competition. Above all, participating is a requirement for program completion.

Rose O’Dea, a member of the first group, is a PhD candidate at the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences. She said, “I’m excited about the opportunity to work with school children. I hope to inspire some girls so they see not all scientists are older men in lab coals and that science is quite diverse and means different things depending on who you are.”

Dr. Mariana Mayer Pinto is an early-career researcher at the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences, where she mainly works with marine(海洋的) ecologists. She is originally from Brazil and said that being a woman from a developing country meant she knew the struggles that lack of role models can create. “You can’t be what you can’t see! I always have the hope that I can change the world bit by bit, and if one little girl says she can become a scientist because I talked to them, that’d be awesome, and that would make everything worth it.”

32. What is the program intended to do?

A. Test female PhD’s learning results.

B. Promote the equality of men and women.

C. Set up an organization for women scientists.

D. Improve women’s participation in math and science.

33. What is required if a participant want to complete the program?

A. To persuade as least one female to take up science.

B. To participate in at least 20 hours of related activities.

C. To apply what they have learnt to their graduation paper.

D. To work as a representative to give presentations.

34. What does Rose O’Dea think about science?

A. Varied. B. Inspiring.

C. Unchangeable. D. Exciting.

35. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph?

A. To share how family background matters.

B. To show the overall(全面的) results of this program.

C. To add an example of how a participant(参与者) feels.

D. To tell of role models to encourage female students.
