entered,a little blonde haired girl about 5 years of age opened one of the cubicle(小隔间)doors and ran out of the washroom,hot pants in hand and looking upset and overwhelmed.I went after her.Her dad was standing outside.She quickly gave him the hot pants to dress her.Little sweetheart.She obviously couldnt manage to button up her hot pants.Even though she had her little white tights on,she must have felt embarrassed about the lack of hot pants.I tried to calm and reassure her,saying,“When I saw dad standing outside I knew he was waiting for someone very pretty,but I just hadnt realized how,pretty she was going to be.”She didnt bite;dad smiled though.I offered to bring her back to wash her hands.She was too tiny to squeeze soap out of the dispenser,so I helped her.I could see poor dad out of the side of my eyes.He was right at the door looking in.I went with her to the hand dryer,but she was so tiny that the sensor couldnt even detect her little hands.I lifted her up and her hands were properly dried,well at least a little.I was moved by this little girls helplessness in an adult world.I also felt for dad having to trust that his little girl would feel safe and secure for the few minutes out of his sight.I reached out for help.I tried to bridge the gap when a little helpless girl was a few minutes without a trusted adult and a concerned father had to for a moment

study,scientists have found a way to hack a plants 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 plants genes,the scientists were able to increase the amount of leaf growth on plants between 14 and 20 percent.Scientists hacked the plants 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 plants 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 the yield（产量）might not be quite so high for conventional food crops.Still,she added in an email,“this study remains a breakthrough,”1、Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 1?AWe can find hacking only in digital devices.BA plants genes can be changed by hacking.CHacking has been used in improving food production.DHacking can be used to change whatever you want.2、Why did scientists choose tobacco plants to study?ABecause they are very easy to get.BBecause their genes are easy to change.CBecause they are larger than other plants.DBecause they can absorb sunlight quickly.3、What do we know about photosynthesis?AIt helps plants to produce energy.BIt is regarded as a productive system for plants.CIt can increase leaf growth on plants by 14 percent.DIt is made up of sunlight，water and carbon dioxide.4、We can learn from Paragraph 4 that changing the plants genes proved _.Auseless Bdeadly Ceffective Dunrealistic 5、What is Tala Awandas attitude toward the study?ADoubtful.BNeutral.CObjective.DCritical.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 26（30 分）The most important lesson I learned in
