According to a study, scientists have found a way to hack a plant's genes in order to make it use sunlight more quickly. Someday, the results could increase the number of food produced around the world.Scientists used tobacco plants in the study because it is easy to change the plants' genes. Hacked plants are larger than normal plants.Photosynthesis is the word used to describe how plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to make their own food. Scientists say this is a very slow process. Plants use less than 1 percent of the energy. But by hacking a plant's genes, the scientists were able to increase the amount of leaf growth on plants between 14 and 20 percent. Scientists hacked the plant's protective system. Normally, this system starts when a plant gets too much sunlight. When the plant senses the light, it creates more leaves. When the plant is in shade, the protective system is turned off. But the process is slow.The new study sped up the process by changing the plant's genes, the protective system turned on and off more quickly than normal. As a result, leaf growth on the plants scientists used in the study increased. Leaf growth on two plants increased by 20 percent, while leaf growth on a third plant increased by 14 percent. Scientists conducted the study on tobacco plants. But they think the genetic changes would produce the same results in corn and rice.Agriculture professor Tala Awanda said the study makes sense, but cautioned (he yield (产量) might not be quite so high for conventional food crops. StilL she added in an e-mail, "(his study remains a breakthrough."Which of the following is true according to Paragraph I?A. We can find hacking only in digital devices.B. A plant, s genes can be changed by hacking.C. Hacking has been used in improving food production.D. Hacking can be used to change whatever you want.(1) Why did scientists choose tobacco plants to study?A. Because they are very easy to get.B. Because their genes are easy to change.C. Because they are larger than other plants.D. Because they can absorb sunlight quickly.(2) What do we know about photosynthesis?A. It helps plants to produce energy.B. It is regeirded as a productive system for pkints.C. It can increase leaf growth on plants by 14 percent.D. It is made up of sunlight, water and carbon dioxide.(3) We can learn from Paragraph 4 (hat changing the plants' genes proved .A. uselessdeadlyB. effectiveunrealistic(4) What is Tala Awanda's attitude toward the study?A.

Actually, (here is the endless potential benefit about it, but researchers have found one area that being pretty makes life a challenge securing yourself a boring, low-paying job.This stands in contrast to a large body of research that attractiveness, in general, helps candidates in the selection process. For the most part good looks is a blessing. We treat pretty people more favorably in general, often vote for them more in elections, and pay them more in their professions. The research suggests that attractive people may be discriminated against in selection for relatively less desirable jobs.Researchers carried out four experiments involving more than 750 participants, including university students and managers who make hiring decisions in the real world. Participants were shown photos of (wo potential job candidates, one attractive and the other unattractive. Participants were then asked a series of questions designed to measure their opinions of the job candidates and whether they would hire these candidates for a Icss-than-desirablc job.The less desirable jobs included a warehouse worker, housekeeper, customer service representative and the more desirable jobs included things like a manager, project director, IT elite (精英).In all experiments where they were asked, participants were significantly less likely to hire the attractive candidate for the less desirable job and more likely to hire the attractive candidate for the more desirable job.Ms. Lee said, "In the selection decision fbr an undesirable job, decision makers were more likely to choose the unattractive individual over the attractive individual." Co-author Dr. Madan Pillutla said, “It is interesting that decision makers consider others' opinions in (heir decisions. They thought (hat attractive individuals would want better outcomes, and therefore would be less satisfied, so they favored unattractive candidates when selecling lor a less desirable job."The research also suggests the established view that attractive candidates are favored when applying for jobs might be limited to high-level jobs.(1) What do people generally think of being attractive?A. It is a disadvantage.B. It is a blessing.C. it is not important.D. It has nothing to do with jobs.(2) What does Paragraph 3 mainly (alk about?A. The participants of the experiment.B. . The importance of the experiment.C. The process of the experiment.D. The result of the experiment.(3) An ordinary-looking graduate may have an advantage when applying for .A. a managera project directorB. a warehouse workeran IT elite(4) Why are less attractive applicants preferred for less desirable jobs?A. Because they arc more hardwork i ng.B. Because they will be more satisfied.C. Because they have no requirements at all.1) . Because they will want better outcomes.(5) Which of the following agrees with the research?A. Attractive people are more fit for high-level jobs.B. Less attractive people are easy to find high-level jobs.C. Attractive people can always be hired when applying for jobs.D. Less attractive people can easily get highly paid if they work hard.四、任务型阅读(本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分)21、【来源】2019年天津高三二模(五区联考)第5660题10分(每题2分)At the age of forty-five, my usually well-ordered life became full of changes. After twenty-two years of working in a bank, a plan to use less staff led to the unemployment of over one hundred people. Unluckily, I was one of them.My once secure future became uncertain. However, I was not a single parent, so the family did not depend only on my income and my husband can support the family. My motto has always been, "Change is good; change is progress", but when it affected my livelihood, I had to change it. "Accept change and make the most of it." From the beginning, I chose to look at this matter not as bad hick, but as a welcome chance. I refused to become sorry; instead, I actively planned to do something new and different.Having a positive attitude made all the difference in the way I pursued the future. First, I decided to return to college and graduate many years later than I should have. Doing (his at my age took more (han a little courage. Not being a graduate had never held me back in my career in the bank, but now it's a personal goal I longed to achieve. With a lol of determination, I went to evening classes and became an adult student. In the class, I became more and more confident. During this time, I realized that no matter what life throws in our way, nothing can TAL#NBSPhjnder our personal growth.The second thing I did to improve my inner self was to reevaluate my past life. It used to be filled with endless, and sometimes meaningless events. But now, my heart and life are completely around people I care fbr.The loss of my job led to some positive changes in my life.
