People have often worked together to collect and save the worlds art treasures.Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries.The Louvre has not always been a museum. The first building was a fort(炮台).In 1190, it was the kings castle with high walls and a round tower. It had a moat to prevent his enemies from walking in.Over the years, the number of buildings around the castle grew. By 1350, the castle was no longer needed as a fort. The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens.During times of peace, new treasures were brought in. During days of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged. When Francis I became king of France in 1515, he brought in artists from many countries. One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy. Da Vincis "Mona Lisa" is the best known painting in the museum today.In 1793, the Louvre became a public museum, just as it is now. It is a place where art treasures have been saved for everyone to enjoy.28On the whole, this passage is mainly about_A. an art museum called the Louvre B. an Italian artist named Leonardo da VinciC. a king of France named Francis I D. the best known painting in Louvre 29Why is it good for great art to be kept in public museums？A.

Is it our thoughts? Our emotions? Our behavior?All of these things make us who we are, but at the center of it all lies the genome (基因组)the genes inside our bodies that determine everything from our hair color to our intelligence. But if we could change our genome, would we still be human?Recently, a group of scientists from the United States and South Korea worked together to successfully “edit” a human embryo (胚胎) and remove a genetic mutation (变异) that would have led to heart disease, reported The Guardian.This was achieved with the help of CRISPRa gene-editing tool that allows scientist to edit the genome by cutting, changing or adding to parts of it.Scientists involved in DNA editing are certain about the good of their work, and hope that in the future, diseases or birth defects could simply be “edited out”.However, others arent so sure. People are worried that the science could be used not only to remove life-threatening illness, but also to make a “perfect” baby whose DNA had been chosen to improve their intelligence or other qualities. It might make having a baby similar to choosing a new house or car. Critics (评论家) say that this is a shallow way of thinking about raising children.“It makes you think about who we are as people, and it makes you ask if humans should be using the kind of power. that is changing human evolution (进化),” Jennifer Doudna of the University of California, Berkeley told MIT Technology Review.Still, others worry that DNA editing could be turned into an expensive service that would only be available to the people who could afford it. That might mean the rich would be given another advantage in a world where they already have plenty of them.“You could find wealthy parents buying the latest upgrades for their children, leading to even greater inequality than we already live with,” Marcy Darnovsky, director of the San Francisco Center for Genetics, told BBC News.32. Which of the following helped the scientists edit the genome successfully?A. A human embryo B. A genetic mutationC. DNA D. CRISPER33. Which of the following will Jennifer Doudna most probably agree with?A. Having a perfect baby is not so good for the family.B. Life-threatening illnesses should be removed before birth.C. DNA editing might cause unexpected problems to humans.D. DNA editing may enlarge the gap between the rich and the poor.34. What does the underlined word “them” most probably refer to?A. Advantages.B. Expensive services.C. Perfect children.D. Qualities. 35. What does the author think of DNA editing?A. Its good for human evolution.B. It will make humans look similar.C. Its influence is still quite uncertain.D. It can only be afforded by the rich.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 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。 Are you new to experiencing relationships?
