Each passage is followed by several questions. Respond to the questions using inf

17、ormation from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Section A (10 marks)Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Smallpox is an acute, highly infectious disease, producing high fever and a pinkish rash of spots.When they dry up, they leave ugly scars on the skin

18、. For centuries it killed the rich and poor alike, spreading fast when it took hold in an area, and often seriously disfiguring or blinding those sufferers who escaped death. It was not until 1980 that the World Health Organization declared that the disease was eradicated, after the final recorded c

19、ase in Somalia in 1977.(56) ( ) It eventually offered reliable protection and caused smallpox to disappear completely. Jenner was born in 1749 and, after studying medicine, lived and worked as a doctor in a small village, Berkeley； in rural Gloucestersh ire. There he saw people suffering both from s

20、mallpox and from cowpox, a weaker, much less dangerous form of infection, frequently found in cows. He made the interesting observation that the local people who caught cowpox because of their daily contact with cattle did not catch smallpox, even if close friends and family were infected. By experi

21、menting on local people, therefore, Edward Jenner was able to prove, in 1796z that injections of the cowpox virus could provide protection against smallpox. (57)( )Although other studies were being carried out elsewhere in Britain during the eighteenth century, Jenner made the clinical breakthrough.

22、 The immunity he provided against one of historys most terrifying diseases brought him fame and fortune. (58) () He was also given the freedom of the City of London in 1805,an honour not lightly granted. He died in 1823.Smallpox was not finally wiped out, however, until over a century later. By this

23、 time, vaccination had become a compulsory part of many countries1 public health programmes. (59) ( ) This can be partly explained by the fact that complete eradication required a concerted effort from all countries.In the village of Berkeley； there is a museum which aims to remind people of Edward

24、Jenners pioneering achievement. (60)()Questions 56 to 60Choose from the sentences A 一 G the one which best fits each gap of 56 一 60.There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.A.

25、ifetime of hard work, Jenner finally retired to the country, still hoping for the recognition he felt he had earned.C. He was paid generous sums by the government when the authorities realized the importance of his achievement.D. It may seem surprising that Jenners great discovery was not fully expl

26、oited at the time.E. This process was called vaccination, from vacca, the Latin word for cow.F. The first symptoms of smallpox usually appear 12 to 14 days after you a re infected.G. Over two hundred years ago the English physician Edward Jenner discovered the process of vaccination.Section B （10 ma

27、rks）Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.As the supply of genetically modified （GM） food increases, many people are unaware that some food they are eating is a product of the GM process. Scientists in a laboratory have artificially changed food by copying genes from one cell and put

28、ting them into another cell in order to achieve some supposedly desirable result.Nowadays, there are a variety of GM foods being produced一such as soybean, nuts, and potato. The reason for the modification process is to make these foods resistant to insects and viruses so that farmers dont need to us

29、e much herbicide （除草剂J ）. Taking the example of tomatoes, which are sensitive to the weather, they can be inserted with genes from a type of fish that lives in very cold seas so as to survive frost.Its supporters argue that GM technology is the future of food and has many advantages. They assert tha

30、t because of GM foods stronger resistance to nature; s forces, farmers can produce better harvests.Moreover, it can increase the worldwide supply of food, which can in turn help those areas suffering from food shortages. In addition, common food such as bananas and tomatoes can be injected with vacc

31、ines for illnesses to help prevent the spread of serious diseases.Nevertheless, there has been increased concern about the dangers of GM food. Some people have an unusual reaction to specific proteins called allergens （过敏原）. Nuts and soybeans are two of the major sources of these allergies, and reac

32、tions to these foods can be life threatening. In addition, the ecosystem might be destroyed by the GM processthe practice of feeding animals with GM crops could lead to health problems related to growth or metabolism （新陈代谢）.The U.S., Canada, and Argentina, the worlds three largest producers of GM fo

33、ods, have challenged countries that protect against GM products. Meanwhile, the EU has urged for a wise and careful approach to this matter, labeling products containing GM elements, and some European companies have stopped using GM ingredients. GM food is a complex issue associated with both benefi

34、ts and risks.The debate on it will continue until we fully examine the long-term consequences.Questions 61 to 65Answer the following questions according to the passage.61. How are genetically modified food produced?62. What is the function of the modification process?63. Where are the genes of GM to

35、matoes from?64. In what way is the ecosystem destroyed by the GM process?65. Which countries are the worlds three largest producers of GM foods?Section C (10 marks)Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage.Do you think youre a good listener? Chances are you do. But studies show that most

36、 people seriously overestimate their ability to listen. The truth is we are generally not good at listening, and our listening comprehension declines as we age.This was proven by Dr. Ralph Nichols, a pioneer in the scientific study of listening behaviour. With the help of school teachers in Minnesot

37、a, he conducted a simple experiment to test students listening skills.He had teachers stop what they were doing mid- class, and then askedstudents to describe what their teachers had been talking about. You might assume that older kids, with more developed brains, would be better listeners.The resul

38、ts, however, showed otherwise: While 90 percent of first- and second-graders gave correct responses, this percentage dropped rapidly as the students got older. A little under half of junior high students could remember correctly, and only 25 percent of high school students got the answers right.So w

39、hy arent we good at listening? One reason concerns the speed at which we think. The adult brain can process up to around 400 words per minute, more than three times faster than the speed an average person speaks. This means that we can easily think about something else while someone is talking to us

40、z allowing our mind to wander or get sidetracked. Thinking about how you will reply while someone is still talking is one of the most common barriers to effective listening. The younger students in Dr. Nicholss experiment were better listeners partly because their brains were less developed一they lac

41、ked the extra brain power to be distracted.Another factor that contributes to our poor listening is our ever-decreasing attention span. According to a study conducted by Microsoft, the age of smartphones has had a negative impact. In 2000around the time the mobile revolution beganthe average human a

42、ttention span was 12 seconds. By 2013, it had fallen to 8 seconds.Our mobile devices also provide constant distractions, which can be very disruptive to listening. Test results have shown that being interrupted by a cell phone message lowers listening comprehension by 20 percent.Interruptions and ot

43、her distractions, whether digital or more traditional, can cause a dramatic decline in listening abilitybut they dont have to. More and more people now realize that listening is a skill that can be developed through practice. Learning to observe a speaker s body language and emotions, for example, c

44、an improve our active listening. Even the simple act of note-taking or making eye contact can help us stay focused while listening.Questions 66 to 70Complete the summary below with information from the passage, using no more than three words for each blank.Most people are not good at listening and t

45、heir listening comprehension declines as they get older. It was confirmed by Dr. Ralph Nichols, a great scientist in (66) () . The results of his experiment indicated that the older thestudents, (67)() their listening skills. He thinks that the following factors (68)() poor listening: the speed at w

46、hich we think and our ever-decreasingattention span. Moreover, the mobile devices, which provide constant distractions, (69) () listening as well.But practice can make our listening skills improve,such as (70) ( ) a speaker s body language and emotions, the act of notetaking or making eye contact.Pa
