12、ked A,B,C and D, choose thebest and mark your answer on the ANSEWR SHEET.Passage OneHave you ever heard of a pawpaw(木瓜)? If not, do not feel bad. Many Americans do notknow of the fruit, although it is native to the U.S.Once, however, it was one of the most popularfruits in North America. Happily, th
13、ose who love the pawpaw are trying to return it to its formerposition in American foods.A pawpaw is a tropical fruit that used to be grown along the East Coast from New York toFlorida and all over the eastern U.S.At one time, it could be found as far west as Nebraska.The pawpaw was an important food
14、 for Native Americans and even early European settlers.Pawpaws reportedly were a favorite treat of George Washington, the first U.S. president, whoespecially liked them cold. Thomas Jefferson, the third U.S. president, was also s fan of the fruit.He planted papaws at his home in Virginia. He also se
15、nt pawpaw seeds to his friends in France,American explorers Lewis and Clark wrote in their journals about the pawpaw.The pawpaw is difficult to be sold commercially. The fruit requires a very specialenvironment-low, wet areas that sometimes flood. It has a very short harvest season, from twoto three
16、 weeks in September and October. In addition, the fruit is good to eat for only two to threedays after harvesting. This makes it hard to sell anywhere distant from the pawpaw tree it comesfrom.Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit. In several states farmershave organized “
17、pawpaw festivals” to reintroduce people to food. At such a festival in Marylandrecently, farmers displayed different products made with pawpaws, like pawpaw jams, pies,ice-cream and beer.16.

20、anized in some states _A. As a way of celebrating harvestB. As part of the traditional cultureC. To display pawpaw growing techniquesD. To reintroduce people to the fruitPassage TwoThroughout history, humans have suffered from a condition that they have never been ableto escapeageing. Some researche
21、rs, however, believe we may be thinking about it in thewrong way. They say we should start treating ageing itself as a diseaseone that can beprevented and treated.Their hopes are founded on recent discoveries that suggest biological ageing may be entirelypreventable and treatable. From a biological
22、preventive, the body ages at different ratesaccording to genetic and environmental factors. Tiny errors build up in our DNA and our cellsbegin developing faults that can grow into tissue damage, which leads to ageing andageingrelated diseases.One of the leading figures in human life research, Aubrey
23、 De Grey, explains in an interviewthat their goal is to develop a set of therapies for middle-aged and older people that will leavethem physically and mentally equivalent(相当的) to someone under the age of 30. “Of course,without wiping their memories,” he adds. But he doesnt think that is will be poss
24、ible to stopageing altogether. He sees a future where “rejuvenation technologies” can be applied to oldpeople in order to revert their cells to what they were like when they were in their youth, buyingthem extra time. The idea is that someone who is treated at the age of 60 will be biologicallyrever
25、ted to 30. But because the therapies are not permanent fixes. Their cells will end upbecoming 60 years old again in another 30 years time.21.

What will happen if someone is treated with De Greys technology?A. He will stay young for a longer timeB. He will no longer grow old.C. He will
28、live up to at least 60 years old.D. He will not get ageing-related diseases.Passage ThreeWhen jack Davis, 9, looks up at the night sky, he doesnt see just the stars. He sees hisfuture. The fourth grader from New Jersey has a deep interest in outer space and the alien(外星的) beings he thinks might live
29、 there.In July, Jack heard that NASA was looking for a new planetary protection officer and decidedhe was the right person for the job.

38、ice, defeating thepurpose.The research, by Northwestern University and published in the journal PsychologicalScience in the public interest, found that the processes involved dont lend themselves to formingstrong relationships. The findings also indicated that the concept of an online profile(介绍) is
39、 notentirely useful and “can result in treating potential partners as mere objects”.7Lead author Eli J Finkel explained: “Online dating is a terrific addition for singles to meet.However, there are two problems.” First, studying over seemingly endless lists of profiles ofpeople one does not know, as

41、lso questioned the algorithms(算法) employed by sites such aseH to match people based on their interests or personalitycomparing it to having areal estate agent of love. While the algorithm may reduce the number of potential partners fromthousands to a few, they may be as unsuitable for each other as
42、two people meeting at random,Dr Finkel explained, adding the chances are no better than finding a relationship by walking intoany bar. “Theres no better way to figure out whether youre a match with somebody than talkingto them over a coffee or beer,” Dr Finkel said.31.
