Scientists are debating how to limit their newly-discovered power to change
genetic structure. Scientists already modify the genes of farm animals and agricultural plants to make them more productive or stronger. But now they can also change genes in wild animals and plants. These genes would continue into later generations. For example, it may be possible for scientists to remove from existence the kind of mosquitoes that carry the Zika virus. They might also be able to permanently remove species of plants and animals that are destructive to other species.
In a report published last week, the U. S. National Academies of Sciences,
Engineering and Medicine (NAS) said it supports continued research on this kind of gene control. But it warned that it is not possible to know what will happen when these changed plants and animals are released into the wild.
Sixteen biologists, ethicists(伦理学家) and policymakers are on an NAS
committee that is examining the issue. They say that there is value to the new technology. But, they say, there is not enough evidence to support the release of modified organisms (生物体) from the laboratory into nature.
Many people would support stopping mosquitoes and rats from carrying diseases.
But scientists say we must understand the possible scientific, ethical, legal and
5
social results of such action before we decide whether to take it. Gene modification is spread through reproduction(繁殖).
Changed genes will continue to spread as long as an animal or plant continues
to reproduce. They cannot be limited to a farm or kept within a country’s borders. Scientists are wondering what may happen if a modified organism mates with another species. They are not yet sure how the modified genes would affect the other species. It is possible that those genes could harm those creatures or even lead to their disappearance from our planet.
12．What possible advantage does gene control in wild animals and plants have?
A. Changing the Zika virus permanently. B. Removing the destructive species for ever. C. Having changed genes in their next generations. D. Making all the species more productive and stronger.
13．As for genetically changed wild animals and plants ,what are scientists worried about?
A. They may become weaker or die out. B. They may be more productive.
C. They may cause damage to their living habitat. D. Their genes may spread to later generations.
14．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Scientists are not sure what exact results gene modification leads to. B. Scientists won’t modify any genes before they make the final decision. C. Gene modification has benefited some farm animals and agricultural plants. D. Scientists have not applied gene modification to wild animals and plants in
case of possible danger.
15．What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Stop research on gene control B. How to change genetic structure C. Power and danger of gene control
D. Advantages of gene control in wild animals and plants

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and
6
go where we’ve never been before. But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line.
16 Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes. For
anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, ＂Would I say this to the person’s face?＂ If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 17
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire
back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 18 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
19 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to
do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. 20 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended. It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.
A. It’s natural that there’re some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online. B. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.
C. Everyone was new to the network once.
D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated. E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.
F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.
G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely. 第二部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)
