17、ord or phrase for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D on ANSWER SHEET 1. 25 Sugar cane was once a wild grass that grew in New Guinea and was used by local people for roofing their houses and fencing their gardens. Gradually a different variety evolved which contained sucrose (蔗糖 )and was chewe
18、d on for its sweet taste. Over time, sugar cane became a highly valuable commercial plant, grown throughout the world.【 B1】 _ Sugar became a vital ingredient in all kinds of things, from confectionery (糖果点心 )to medicine , and, as the demand for sugar grew, the industry became larger and more profita
19、ble. 【 B2】 _ Many crops withered (枯萎 ) and died, despite growers, attempts to save them, and there were fears that the health of the plant would continue to deteriorate. In the 1960s, scientists working in Barbados looked for ways to make the commercial species stronger and more able to resist disea
20、se. They experimented with breeding programmes, mixing genes from the wild species of sugar cane, which tends to be tougher, with genes from the more delicate, commercial type.【 B3】 _ This sugar cane is not yet ready to be sold commercially, but when this happens, it is expected to be incredibly pro
21、fitable for the industry. 【 B4】 _ Brazil, which produces one quarter of the worlds sugar, has coordinated an international project under Professor Paulo Arrudo of the Universidade Estaudual de Campinas in Sao Paulo. Teams of experts have worked with him to discover more about which parts of the gene
22、tic structure of the plant are important for the production of sugar and its overall health. Despite all the research, however, we still do not fully understand how the genes function in sugar cane.【 B5】 _ This gene is particularly exciting because it makes the plant resistant to rust, a disease whi
23、ch probably originated in India, but is now capable of infecting sugar cane across the world. Scientists believe they will eventually be able to grow a plant which cannot be destroyed by rust. A Unfortunately, however, the plant started to become weaker and more prone to disease. B Sugar cane was no
24、w much vigorous and the supply of sugar is therefore more guaranteed. C One major gene has been identified by Dr Angelique D Hont and her team in Montpelier, France. D The majority of the worlds sugar now comes from this particular commercial species. E Since the 1960s, scientists have been analysin
25、g the mysteries of the sugar canes genetic code. F The sugar canes genetic code has been found by a farmer in 1950. G Eventually, a commercial plant was developed which was 5 percent sweeter than before, but also much stronger and less likely to die from disease. 26 【 B1】 27 【 B2】 28 【 B3】 29 【 B4】

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 40 An embarrassing experience It was the small hours of the morning when we reached London Airport. I had cabled London fro
32、m Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happening before I reached my flat. In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by the British customs to open a single bag or to do more than state that I carried no goods liable to duty. It was,
33、 of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed my diplomacy. I was, for whichever reason, so tired that T could hardly stand, and to the question, “have you read this?“ I replied with extreme foolishness,“ Yes, hundreds of times. “ “And you have nothing
34、to declare?“ “Nothing. “ “How long have you been out of this country?“ “About three months. “ “And during that time you have acquired nothing?“ “Nothing but what is on the list I have given you. “ He seemed momentarily at a loss, but then he attacked. The attack, when it came, was utterly unexpected
35、. “Where did you get that watch?“ I could have kicked myself. Two days ago, when playing water games with a friend in the bath, I had forgotten to take off my ROLEX OYSTER, and it had, not unnaturally, stopped. I had gone into the market and bought, for twelve shillings and six pence, an ugly time p
36、iece that made a strange noise. It had stopped twice, without any reason, during the journey. I explained, but I had already lost face. I produced my own watch from a pocket, and added that I should be grateful if he would confiscate the replacement. “It is not a question of confiscation,“ he said,
37、“there is a fine for failing to declare dutiable goods. And now may I please examine that Rolex?“ It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband; then he began to search my luggage. 41 When did the writer arrive at London airport? （ A） In the early morning. （ B）
38、 Late at night. （ C） At noon. （ D） Late in the morning. 42 What can we conclude from the questions asked by the customs officer? （ A） He was just doing his duty by asking the passenger some usual questions. （ B） He must have noticed the writers ugly watch. （ C） He wanted to embarrass the writer. （ D
39、） He must have noticed the writer s tiredness. 43 What did the writer think of the watch he bought in the market? （ A） He was fond of the watch because it was a Rolex. （ B） He found the watch useful though it was very cheap. （ C） He didnt like the watch at all. （ D） He was indifferent to the watch.
40、44 What must have happened to the writer in the end? （ A） He must have spent a long time at the customs and must have been let go without any punishment. （ B） He must have been given a fine as a punishment. （ C） His Rolex must have been confiscated. （ D） His cheap watch must have been confiscated. 4
41、5 What do you think is the tone of the story? （ A） Humorous. （ B） Sarcastic. （ C） Solemn. （ D） Matter-of-fact. 45 You must have been troubled by when to say “I love you“ because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life. What if you say it first and your partner doesnt love you back? Or if they
42、do say it but you dont feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be nerve-racking(紧张 ) and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesnt it pay to hold back, play it cool and wai
43、t until the other half has shown their hand first? “A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal,“ says psychologist Sidney Crown. “But love is seldom equal.“ All relationships go through power struggles but, he says, if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set
44、 in. “That feeling of Ive always loved you more may be subverted (颠覆，破坏 ) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling (大声争吵 ). “In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. “The strongest one in a relationship is often the pers
45、on who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings,“ says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees. “The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who says I love you first may also be the one who says I
46、m bored with you first. “ Hall believes that much depends on how “I love you“ is said and the motivation of the person saying it. “Is it said when theyre drunk? Is it said before their partner flies off on holiday, and what it really means is Please don t be unfaithful to me ? By saying I love you ,
47、 they really saying Do you love me? If so, wouldn t it just be more honest to say that?“ Collins agrees that intention is everything. “It s not what is said, but how it s said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker. “ 46 What is the main idea of this passage? （ A） The importance of “
48、I love you“. （ B） The meaning of “I love you“. （ C） The time of saying “I love you“. （ D） The place of saying “I love you“. 47 In the first sentence the author means that_. （ A） it is easy to say “I love you“ （ B） it is hard to say “I love you“ （ C） we have many troubles in our life （ D） people usua
