廣東省高考真題英語參考答案(2)
(B)
Care for a zoom-in observation of animals with no bars between you and the observed opposed to ordinary zoos? Where to have close-up encounters with some of the world’s most rare animals.? We are revealing for you:
1. Right whales, Bay of Fundy, Canada
Northern right whales are on the brink of extinction, but survivors arrive in the Bay of Fundy each summer (May through October) to feed east of Grand Manan Island. They are recognized by a broad back and no dorsal fin, which distinguish them from other whales entering the bay.
Planning: Whale-watching tours operate out of Digby Neck peninsula on Nova Scotia and nearby islands, such as Brier Island, St. Andrews, Grand Manan Island, and Deer Island.2. Grizzly bears, Alaska
Grizzlies like salmon. In mid-July and again in mid-August, grizzlies make for Alaskan rivers to hook out the fish with their formidable claws. The bears gather in large numbers at rapids and pools, sometimes fighting for the best sites. Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park, and Fish Creek, near Hyder, have viewing platforms.
Planning: Most fishing sites are accessed by chartered light aircraft and a hike. Hyder is off the Stewart-Cassiar Highway.
3. Monarch butterflies, Sierra Chincua, Mexico
Each fall, millions of North American monarch butterflies migrate thousands of miles to the oyamel fir forests of the Transvolcanic Mountain Range, in the state of Michoacán. They flock intimately on tree trunks, bushes, and on the ground, fully showing their gregariousnature and occupy Sierra Chincua and four neighboring hills that make up the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve.
Planning: Chincua is one of two hills in the reserve open to the public from November through March.
4. Komodo dragons, Komodo Island, Indonesia
Landing on Komodo, you would feel like stepping back to a time when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, as park maps reported, “Here be dragons!” This mountainous volcanic island is home to the world’s largest living lizard—the Komodo dragon. Weighing 79 to 91 kg, the Komodo dragon has a tail as long as its body. You can hike to a viewpoint at Banugulung and watch as park rangers feed food to the lizards, some of which are more than 10 ft (3 m) long.
Planning: Komodo is reached solely by boat from Bima (on eastern Sumbawa) or Labuan Bajo (on western Flores).
5. Wildebeest migration, Serengeti, Tanzania
Undoubtedly the world’s most spectacular wildlife sight is the annual wildebeest migration, when 1.4 million wildebeest and 200,000 zebras and gazelles are on the move across the Serengeti plains. The animals are trekking to chase the clean water and fresh grass. Along the way, lions and hyenas stalk them, and crocodiles lie in wait.
Planning: The herds migrate across Tanzania from December through July, and then pass through the Masai Mara in Kenya in August and September.
70. In which place can a variety of types of animals be viewed?
A. Alaska. B. Sierra Chincua C. Komodo Island D. Serengeti
71. The underlined word gregarious is closest in meaning to ______.
A. being able to climb. B. preferring group living
C. migrating in huge numbers D. moderate in temper
72. Which of thefollowing statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Right whales are distinguished from other whales by unique appearance features.
B. Viewing spots for grizzly bears can be reached through air and on foot.
C. Komodo dragons are similar to dinosaurs in living period.
D. Wildebeest herds travel to pursue favourable food conditions.
73. The target readers of the passage are probably ______.
A. adventurous visitors longing for closer look at animals
B. mountain hikers who seek unique hiking trails
C. experienced hunters who are aimed at rare animals
D. average zoo visitors looking for animal contact at safe distance
(C)
Genetic testing offers people insight into the types of diseases they are most likely to develop — but a new study suggests most people do not alter their lifestyles based on this information. These tests — known as genome sequencing — analyze a person's DNA, telling patients about their known risk for diseases like cancer or diabetes. But being told you’re at a higher risk for lung cancer doesn’t seem to motivate anyone to quit smoking or alcohol, this study suggests. Because of this, the scholars argue that genetic testing should be banned as a tool for improving people's health.
Today’s finding came from pulling data from 18 other studies that followed people after they received the results of genetic tests. Receiving information about genetic risks didn’t inspire people to eat differently, exercise more, or stop smoking, "Expectations have been high that giving people information about their genetic risk will empower them to change their behavior, but we have found no evidence that this is the case," study author Theresa Marteau, director of behavior and health research said in a press release.

Genetic testing offers people insight into the types of diseases they are most likely to develop — but a new study suggests most people do not alter their lifestyles based on this information. These tests — known as genome sequencing — analyze a person's DNA, telling patients about their known risk for diseases like cancer or diabetes. But being told you’re at a higher risk for lung cancer doesn’t seem to motivate anyone to quit smoking or alcohol, this study suggests. Because of this, the scholars argue that genetic testing should be banned as a tool for improving people's health.
Today’s finding came from pulling data from 18 other studies that followed people after they received the results of genetic tests. Receiving information about genetic risks didn’t inspire people to eat differently, exercise more, or stop smoking, "Expectations have been high that giving people information about their genetic risk will empower them to change their behavior, but we have found no evidence that this is the case," study author Theresa Marteau, director of behavior and health research said in a press release.
Genetic testing, which the National Institutes of Health says costs anywhere from $100 to $2,000, has become much more accessible as commercial testing companies such as 23andMe and Sure Genomics have sprung up. These companies are not allowed to share disease risk estimates with consumers thanks to the Food and Drug Administration. However, today’s study didn’t specify whether the genetic testing were purely from academic sequencing, or if any of these companies had had a role in supplying the data.
Genetic testing doesn’t get people to change their behavior for the better, but it doesn't have any known negative effects either. Knowing the results of these tests didn't change people's depression or anxiety levels. And there's no indication that testing inspires people to pick up risky or dangerous health habits either, the study found.
Actually a genetic predisposition toa certain disease is common among people. Some people are born weak in heart. Some are innately vulnerable in digestive system. But these most common risk factors usually don't raise a person's chances of getting the disease by a significant amount. It's possible that some of the patients in the study had substantially high disease risks based on their DNA profile, but those patients tend to be rather rare. "It’s still likely that communicating this type of information is very valuable to some people, but it’s just that there aren’t that many of those people," Zikmund-Fisher from the University of Michigan said. "The idea that providing genetic risk information is going to be transformative to everyone seems unlikely."
74. Why did some experts suggest stopping genetic testing?
A. Genome sequencing aren’t accurate in detecting certain disease risks.
B. Genetic testing results fail to encouragepeople to remove bad habits.
C. Genetic testing does neither good nor harm to people’s behaviorial improvement.
D. Genetic testing results are offered by commercial testing companies.
75. The underlined word predisposition to in the passage is closest in meaning to _____.
A. testing on B. prediction about
C. sensitivity to D. insight into
76. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Theresa Marteau believes genetic testing helps to change people’s behaviors.
B. Sure Genomics is forbidden to deliver illness risk expectations to patients.
C. Genetic testing results are totally coming from academic sequencing.
D. Genetic testing results in a way worsen the patients’ moods and emotions.
77. It’s said that people’s unconcerned response to genetic testing doesn’t cause much harm because ______.
A. getting rid of bad life habits doesn’t do much good to people’s health
B. almost all people have certain disease risks based on genetic testing
C. providing genetic risk information interferes with the medical treatment
D. genetic testing shows few people are at a high risk of getting certain diseases
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
When California lawmakers voted this month to raise the legal age to buy cigarettes from 18 to 21, they joined Hawaii and other areas in seeking a way in age change to prevent vulnerable teenagers from getting hooked. And now other avenues of unlawful teen cigarettes obtaining are also drying up: vending machines are vanishing, and online sales to minors are decreasing.
The respected Institute of Medicine projected that if the legal age were raised to 21, by the time today’s teenagers became adults smoking prevalence would be cut by 12%. The greatest impact, the IOM found, would likely be among teens 15 to 17.
Given the current fruits the campaign against teen-smoking has yielded, campaigners still have more reasons to try to cut further years into youth smoking, though in vain for now. Adolescents are more prone to addiction than adults because parts of the brain most responsible for decision-making, impulse control and susceptibility to peer pressure are still developing. As for the health effects, the rise for smoking-related illness though in part with the number of cigarettes smoked per day, is mainly associated with the number of years a person smokes.
The most persistent argument against raising the age is that at 18, people have the right to marry, to vote and to serve in the military, which means the age is normally considered the threshold for maturity. Therefore, they are able to decide for their own whether to smoke. But society does set 21 as the age for another dangerous activity, drinking alcohol — a change that has prevented about 900 drunken driving deaths per year. Smoking is the public's business, too.
In Finland, daily smoking dropped significantly among 14- to 16-year-olds after the legal age was raised from 16 to 18 and enforcement was bolstered. There's no comparable research in the United States, which is precisely the point. Given the tobacco industry's success in getting young people hooked, teenagers deserve to find out whether the U.S. has been missing a powerful tool to save their lives.
Some people warn that parents and public health advocates shouldn’t get their hopes too high. Teenage behavior is unpredictable and resourceful; many teens use fake IDs to buy alcohol and it’s likely they would do the same for tobacco. But unless more states follow the suit of California and Hawaii, the ultimate value of the age raise can't be obvious, can it? So take action now.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)
78. Underage teenagers can get cigarettes illegally from ______.
79. What primarily causes the increase of cigarette-related diseases?
80. The reason given by people to keep the age of 18 as legal smoking age is that ______.
81. According to the author, what would show clearly the benefits of raising smoking age?
