But Americans do not support changing the genetic structure, or DNA of children so that they can be faster, taller or more intelligent.The research was carried out by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, which suggests that 81% of Americans approve of using gene editing to prevent killer diseases such as Huntington's disease, and 65% agree to use gene editing to prevent conditions like blindness. However, 66% oppose using gene editing to change qualities such as intelligence or athletic ability. They are also against changing physical qualities such as eye color or height.Gene editing takes out a part of DNA to remove, replace or repair a gene. Changes to adult cells only affect the person being treated. But editing genes in embryos (胚胎) can change the resulting children in ways that can be passed to future generations. Due to its important effects, the International Council for Science says gene editing should not yet be tested on humans. Scientists say more laboratory research is needed to prove whether it is safe or not.Dr. Robert Klitzman, who studies biological research rules, noted that if fertility (生育) clinics start to edit the genes of embryos, there will be hard choices to make about what conditions can be changed. “It's one thing to look at the extremes of deadly diseases versus surface things, but in the middle are going to be these very different issues.” he said.The study suggests a lack of trust in the technology. Nearly 90% of the people in the study worry whether it will be used in a moral way.8．In which aspect do most Americans approve of using gene editing?A．Running swifter.B．Preventing deadly diseases.C．Changing eye color.D．Improving intelligence.9．What do we know about gene editing from the text?A．It tends to influence the future generations.B．It will become widely used in a moral way.C．It edits all parts of DNA in a new way.D．It has been tested safe to use on human beings.10．What is Dr. Robert's attitude to the use of gene-editing technology to create babies?A．Uninterested. B．Supportive.C．Cautious. D．Disappointed.11．From which is the text probably taken?A．A biology textbook. B．A social web page.C．A medicine brochure. D．A science report.D[2019·长沙一模]When she first started learning about the climate change from one of her elders, Fawn Sharp was invited on a helicopter flight over the Olympic Mountains to survey the Mount Anderson glacier. But the glacier was gone, melted by the warming climate. Sharp had a deep sense of loss when she discovered the glacier wasn't there anymore.Loss is a growing issue for people working and living on the front lines of climate change. And that gave Jennifer Wren Atkinson, a full-time lecturer at the University of Washington Bothell, US, an idea for a class.This term, she taught students on the Bothell campus about the emotional burdens of environmental studies. She used the experiences of Native American tribes (部落), scientists and activists, and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy fix — that “this is such an intractable problem that they're going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.”Student Cody Dillon used to be a climate science skeptic (怀疑论者). Then he did his own reading and research, and changed his mind.Dillon wasn't going into environmental work —he was a computer-science major. Yet, the potential for a worldwide environmental catastrophe seemed so real to him five years ago that he quit his job and became a full-time volunteer for an environmental group that worked on restoration (恢复) projects.Six months into the work, he decided that Atkinson's class was just what he was looking for — a place where he could discuss his concerns about a changing climate.Atkinson said she hopes the class helped her students prepare themselves for the amount of environmental loss that will happen over their lifetimes.“We are already changing the planet — so many species are going to be lost, displaced or massively impacted，”she said. “The future isn't going to be what they imagined.”12．Why did the author mention the case of Fawn Sharp?A．To lay a basis for Fawn Sharp's further research.B．To prove Fawn Sharp's work is similar to Atkinson's.C．To lead into the issue of loss caused by climate change.D．To show scientists' concern about the Mount Anderson glacier.13．What's the main purpose of Atkinson's class?A．To explore how different people deal with climate change.B．To get students more concerned about the environmental issue.C．To find solutions to the environmental issue of OlympicMountains.14．Which of the following best explains “intractable” underlined in Paragraph Three?A．Simple. B．Difficult.C．Common. D．Interesting.15．How did Atkinson's class influence Dillon?A．It made him work as a part-time volunteer for restoration projects.B．It made him realize a planet-wide climate disaster would happen.C．It encouraged him to be more involved in environmental protection.D．It discouraged him to work on restoration projects for the environment.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)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。
