22．（8分） We humans are a curious species． As NASA says on its website，"Humans are driven to explore the unknown， discover new worlds， push the boundaries of our scientific and technical limits，and then push further． "
And space exploration is where we\e been "pushing" our furthest curiosity．
The year 2019 began with two pieces of exciting space exploration news． On Jan． 3， China landed a spacecraft，Chang′e 4，on the moon's far side﹣the side we can′t see from Earth﹣for the first time in human history． And according to a report published on Jan． 9 in Nature， scientists from the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment （CHIME） detected repeated radio signals from a galaxy 1.5 billion light years away， possibly sent by intelligent aliens．
However， what，s even more exciting than the news is the fact that whenever speaking of space exploration we forget our political and cultural differences﹣the things that so obsess us．
"When you go into space， you become part of this overall collective （集体）called ‘humanity， Ken Liu， Chinese﹣American sci﹣fi writer and translator，told Quartz website． "You′re no longer Chinese， American， Russian …Your culture is left behind． You're now just ‘humanity' with a capital ‘H'． "
This magic has worked all the way along our journey into space． When US astronaut Neil Armstrong （1930﹣2012）became the first human to set foot on the moon in 1969， for example，he told the world： "That's one small step for man， one giant leap for mankind， "Now， with Chang'e 4 touching down on new moon territory， China′s aim is to help scientists from around the world find out more about Earth's only satellite． And with the discovery of the CHIME astronomers， we ' re one step closer to answering a common question in science "Are humans alone in the universe？"
It's true that we are a curious species． But instead of being curious about the "unknown"， perhaps we're really more eager to "push further" our own human "boundaries" and "limits"．
1、Which of the following is the discovery of the CHIME scientists？
A．A galaxy with intelligent aliens．
B．Repeated radio signals sent by intelligent aliens．
C．Repeated radio signals from a distant galaxy．
D．Radio signals from a galaxy several years ago．
2、Why does the author quote Ken Liu's words ？
A．To introduce the famous writer， Ken Liu．
B．To show that in space we are just humanity．
C．To emphasize that culture is not important．
D．To introduce the things that obsess us very much．
3、What does the author intend to do in paragraph 6？
A．Further confirm his opinion．
B．Add some background information．
C．Summarize the previous paragraphs．
D．Introduce a new topic for discussion．
4、What's the main idea of the text？
A．China takes the lead in space exploration．
B．Humans are not alone in the universe．
C．Space exploration is a common cause of mankind，
D．Humans desire to push the boundaries of scientific limits．
23．（8分）Joy Mangano was 33 and divorced. She had three kids under age 7, and was barely keeping up payments on her small two-bedroom home by working extra hours as a waitress. “There were times when I would lie in bed and think, I don’t know how I’m going to pay that bill,” Mangano says.
But he had a special ability for seeing the obvious thing. She knew how hard it was to mop the floor. “I was tired of bending down, putting my hands in dirty water, wringing (拧) out a mop,” Mangano says. “So, There s gotta be a better way.
How about a “self-wringing” mop? She designed a special tool you could twist in two directions at once, and still keep your hands clean and dry. She set out to sell it, first a few at flea markers.
Then Mangano met with the media. But would couch potatoes (电视迷）buy a mop? The experts on shopping TV were less than certain. They gave it a try, and it failed. Mangano was sure it would sell if they’d let her do the on-camera display. She said, “Get me on that stage, and I will sell this mop because it’s a great item.”
So QVC, a multinational corporation specializing in televised home shopping, took a chance on her. “ I got onstage and the phones went crazy. We sold every mop in minutes.”
Today she’s president of Ingenious Designs, a multimillion-dollar company, and one of the stars of HSN, the Home Shopping Network. Talking about the household invention, Mangano says, “It is as natural for me as it is for a parent to talk about their child.”
1、What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A．Mangano’s small home.
B．Mangano’s work experience.
C．Mangano’s unhappy marriage.
D．Mangano’s hard living conditions.
2、Mangano said the mop successfully with the help of .
A．HSN B．QVC
C．couch potatoes D．experts on shopping TV
3、What does Mangano think of her invention?
A．Special. B．Normal.
C．Dissatisfied D．Unbelievable.
4、What can we learn from the text?
A．HSN is a business organization that sells goods on the Internet.
B．The experts on shopping TV were confident about Mangano's mop.
C．Mangano got the idea of self-wringing mop from her own experience.
D．Mangano once had to work seven days a week to support her family.
24．（8分）The researchers say a person loses two months for every kilogram overweight they are— and seven years for smoking a packet of cigarettes a day.
Unusually, the Edinburgh university team found their answers by analysing differences in people’s genetic code or DNA．Finally they think it will show new ways of helping us to live longer.
The group used the genetic code of more than 600, 000 people who are taking part in a natural experiment. If someone smokes, drinks, drops out of school and is overweight, it can be difficult to identify the impact of one specific unhealthy behavior.
Instead, the researchers turned to the natural experiment. Some people carry mutations(变异) in their DNA that increase(食欲) or make them more likely to put on weight, so researchers were able to compare those programmed to eat more with those who were not. The research team also found specific mutations in human DNA that alter lifespan (寿命).
●Mutations in a gene (a set of instructions in DNA) that is involved in running the immune system could add seven months of life on average.
●People with a mutation that increased levels of bad cholesterol knocked eight months off lifespan.
●A rare mutation in a gene—APOE—linked to dementia reduced lifespan by 11 months.
●And one that made smoking more appealing cut lives by five months.
Dr Joshi says that while genes do influence lifespan, “you’ve got even more influence” through the choices you make. Dr Joshi said, “We hope to discover genes affecting lifespan to give us new information about ageing and construct treatment tor ageing.”
There are also some disease mutations that clearly affect lifespan and to destructive effect, such as the Huntington’s gene. People with Huntington’s often die in their 20s.
However, in order to follow people until the end of their lives, many of the people studied were born before 1940.
1、What is the most difficult for the researchers to find?
A．The differences in people’s genetic code.
B．The reasons why people put on weight very easily.
C．The results of many natural and massive experiments.
D．One bad behaviour’s effect on people with many bad behaviours.
2、Which of the following mutations affects lifespan most greatly?
A．One linked to controlling immune system.
B．One increasing unhealthy cholesterol.
C．One called APOE involved in dementia.

D．One making smoking more attractive.
3、What’s the meaning of Dr Joshi’s study?
A．To help stop mutations. B．TO find diseases earlier.
C．TO make people live longer. D．TO reduce the effects of genes.
4、Why did researchers mainly study people born before 1940?
A．To follow them until they die. B．TO educate them an extra year.
C．To show they are more important. D．To make them live happier.
