because Andrew is a nonspeaking autistic(自闭)and prefers shopping when its not busy.After choosing the desired shoes,we paid and thanked the clerks.“Its Andrews birthday today.Fifteen!”I said.“Happy birthday!”they said.“Have fun!”Instead of having Andrew point to the“thank you”symbol on his picture chart,I hold up his letter board.For 10 years,Andrew has used a picture chart to communicate.The images represent important and common words;people,places,food,greetings and activities.Years ago,we discovered that Andrew could communicate more than just his basic needs via a letter board.He can point to the letters and spell out words,statements,thoughts.Using the letter board requires significant time and effort for Andrew,but it gives him an opportunity to share far more of who he is than he can convey through pictures and basic words.So instead of dashing out,I hold up the letter board and ask Andrew how hed like to respond.The store clerks are quiet,watching.Andrew points to each letter,one by one:“Thank you.”I smile and turn to leave.One of the clerks,a man about my age,speaks up:“Um,can I ask you.what is that?Because I have a brother-in-law.and he doesnt talk.”“Oh!This is an alphabet board that Andrew uses to communicate,”I reply.“Weve practiced it for years.Its quite incredible,as we just didnt know Andrew was so in there.We didnt even know this tool existed-its relatively uncommon.Its changed everything for us,for our family,for Andrew.”This is what happens when we invite others into our humanness,and we allow them to share theirs.“Let me give you my contact info,as well as the website of the spelling-to-communicate organization,”I continue.I ask the clerk about his brother-in-law.He tells us that Jason is 30 and doesnt prefer to speak,but he can do a lot for himself.Still,no one really knows him.Maybe theres more,the clerk wonders.“Amazing!”I say.“Weve met people-havent we,Andrew?who started using this method when they were 50 or 5 or 15!Andrew,what do you think?”Andrew starts pointing to letters:“Tell Jason”I choke up.Sometimes I forget how powerful the letter board is.How powerful Andrew is.“Tell Jason he will change everyones opinion of him in 26 letters.”We are all moved,inspired,thrilled.“Wow,”the clerk says.“Thank you.”Andrew smiles.24.What is the purpose of the letter board mentioned in the passage?A.To display birthday messages.B.To communicate using pictures.C.To spell out words and convey thoughts.D.To create an alphabet chart.25.Why does the store clerk inquire about the letter board?A.He is curious about the authors shopping preferences.B.He wants to know if the letter board is for sale.C.He has a relative who doesnt prefer to speak.D.He is trying to sell a similar communication device.26.What does Andrew mean when he points to the letters and says,“Tell Jason he will change everyones opinion of him in 26 letters”?A.Jason should learn to use the letter board.B.Jason has the power to influence people.C.Jasons opinions about others will change.D.Jason needs to express himself in 26 words.27.What is the best title for the passage?A.The Power of 26 LettersB.Uncommon Communication MethodsC.Communication Tools and AutismD.The Power of A Birthday PresentCIn Shark Bay,Australia,bottlenose dolphins that arent related have been observed teaching each other a new way to use a tool,a behavior that until now scientists have found only in humans and other great apes.Its also the first known example of dolphins transmitting such knowledge within the same generation,rather than between generations.In a practice called shelling,dolphins will chase fish into abandoned giant snail shells on the seafloor,then bring the shells to the surface,and shake them with their noses,removing the water and catching the fish that fall out.“The fact that shelling is socially transmitted among dolphin peers rather than between mother and child sets an important milestone,”senior study author Michael Krutzen said.In 2007,Krutzen launched a study of Shark Bays dolphins,identifying more than a thousand individual dolphins over 11 years.During this time,scientists observed shelling 42times among 19 dolphins.Half of these events occurred after a marine heatwave in 2011,which may have caused a die-off among giant sea snails,leading to more shells on the seafloor.Because of the length of their study,scientists had very detailed knowledge of the individual dolphins family histories,ages,sexes and behavior,making it easier for them to study the 19 dolphins that practiced shelling.For instance,they observed that the dolphins that practised shelling hung out with other shellers,so its likely that they copied from those they spent time with,says study lead author Sonja Wild.The team knew that environmental factors-specifically,whether shelling dolphins did so simply because they lived in a shell-rich area-could explain this peer-to-peer transmission.A genetic characteristic among a family group was another possible reason.So the researchers combined their data on the dolphin sightings,as well as genetic and environmental data,into a computer model that proposed various ways shelling could be transmitted between dolphins.The model that supported horizontal(横向的)transmission was the strongest outcome,according to the study.28.What is the function of the first paragraph?A.To make a comment on the main topic of the passage.B.To draw readers attention to the main topic of the passage.C.To give a brief introduction to the main topic of the passage.D.To present the background of the main topic of the passage.29.What is the second paragraph mainly about?A.What shelling is.B.Why dolphins do shelling.C.What happened to the fish.D.How dolphins deal with abandoned snail shells.30.According to the scientists,shelling dolphins _.A.usually hunt aloneB.live around areas rich in shellsC.conduct shelling about four times a yearD.acquire shelling skills from other shellers31.The computer model is to _.A.further confirm how shelling actually spreadsB.explain why shelling only spreads between peersC.look for new possible ways for dolphins to spread shellingD.find out how environmental and genetic factors affect shelling transmissionDDNA testing is one of modern medicines most significant breakthroughs.Today,anyone can receive personalized information about their genes and ancestry with just a little saliva(唾液).Now,a Seattle-based company is working to bring equally deep analysis to the trillions of proteins within our bodies.Nautilus Biotechnology,a company founded in 2016 by Seattles Sujal Patel and the San Francisco Bay Areas Parag Mallick,is developing a device to identify and count 95%of the different types of proteins in a biological sample.Human cells can contain roughly 20,000 different types of proteins,with crucial functions ranging from digestion to disease protection.Each cell has a varying amount of each protein.The company wants to measure the key machinery(系统)inside cells with a level of detail that has never been done before.Existing tools,it says,can only measure up to 8%of the different types of proteins in blood samples.So why do people count proteins?Research shows healthy cells and diseased cells have differing amounts and forms of each protein.For example,cancer cells may have more of Protein A than ProteinB.Knowing that might help in two ways.First,doctors could look for higher Protein A levels to detect cancer early.Second,researchers could better design drugs to target Protein A.Nautilus says such protein measurements,which are unique to every person and change throughout peoples lives,will not only help doctors identify more specific forms of disease but also help pharmaceutical(制药的)companies find more precise drugs with fewer side effects.While other companies also are building new protein analysis machines,experts and prospective customers have expressed excitement over Nautiluss approach.Mallick,chief scientist of Nautilus and the brains behind its technology,is confident.“Its not every day that you get.to work on something thats the opportunity to change all of biology.”32.What is the Seattle-based company doing?A.Trying to count the amounts of blood cells.B.Examining DNA for personalized information.C.Developing a device to analyze peoples proteins.D.Revealing more about our ancestries with DNA testing.33.What makes the invention of the device possible?A.Precise drugs are guaranteed.B.Cell analysis techniques develop fast.C.Proteins are much easier to be analyzed.D.Protein amounts and forms vary from cell to cell.34.In which area will the device be helpful?A.Disease monitoring and machine design.B.Disease detection and drug development.C.Disease prevention and targeted treatment.D.Disease treatment and the prevention of side effects.35.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.Combining DNA Testing with Protein AnalysisB.Setting a New Example of Medical SolutionsC.Creating Opportunities for Changing BiologyD.Analysing Proteins for New Medical Breakthroughs第二节第二节(共共 5 小题小题;每小题每小题 2.5 分分,满分满分 12.5
