The husband worked day and night to support the family but gave no care of his wife. So she thought, “He doesn't love me any more. He just cares about his business ... not me”.One day, she was about to take a shower when he stopped her at the door, “Let me take it first, okay?”“Why not me first?”she asked. “I am tired, honey, you take it later, okay?”She was entirely unhappy.One day, she found nothing to do and turned on his computer. A few words came into her sight. Reading them, she burst into tears. It was his diary: Today, I was quite sad. She asked me why I was always taking the shower first, and I said to her, “I was exhausted.”She was unhappy. In her mind, I treated her not as well as usual, but what could I do? I was not as rich as before! We moved to the small apartment, and there was only one shower in the bathroom. It was so cold to take a shower in such a cold winter. But I found that if one person took the shower first, the room could get a little warmer. So every day I rushed to the bathroom first. I was thinking that, when she took the shower, the room would get warmer, even if it was only 1℃.Now I cannot give her a comfortable life, take her to good restaurants, or buy expensive dresses for her, but at least, I can give her 1℃love.1.Why did the couple move to the small apartment _______?A.Both of them were out of work.B.They wanted to live a better life.C.The man could take better care of his business.D.They were too poor to live in the former house.2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “exhausted”_______?A.Devoted.B.Worried.C.Tired.D.Injured.3.What can be inferred from the passage_______?A.They would live a richer life soon.B.The woman misunderstood her husband.C.The man would care less about his business.D.The woman would get angry after reading the diary.4.What's the best title of the passage_______?A.A Love StoryB.1℃LoveC.A Suffering CoupleD.Fight for the Bathroom3、A recent study, while showing a generally positive attitude toward science, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be "running out of control ". This idea is dangerous.Science can be a force for evil(邪恶）as well as for good. Its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions. The decisions we make, personally or collectively will determine the outcomes of science. But here is real danger. Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.Some people go even further. They say that despite the moral and legal objections ( 反对) whatever is scientifically possible will be done—-somewhere, sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in the end. This belief is dangerous too, because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages them from making efforts to build a safer world.In our interconnected（互联的）world，the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science. Without a common understanding, the challenges of "controlling" science in this century will be really tough. Take human cloning for example. Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact(影响)on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques. The outcomes are hard to predict. The outcomes are hard to predict. Therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only through the united efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse science and can science best serve mankind in the future.1. According to the passage, what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control?A. The development of science will hopelessly slow down.B. Businesses will have an even greater influence on science.C. The public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future.D. People will work more actively to put science under control.2. The discussion should reach beyond scientific societies becauseA. scientists have failed to predict the outcomesB the ties between different areas need strengtheningC. united efforts are necessary for the development of scienceD. people need to work together to prevent the bad use of science3. What can we conclude from the recent study?A. People think highly of science. B People hold mixed opinions about science.C. Science is getting dangerously out of controlD. Science is used for both good and bad purposes4. What is the main idea of the passage?A Science and its applications bring us many dangers.B. The development of science mostly lies in people’s attitudes.C Mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts.D The future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas4、 People have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer even though they have lifespans(寿命)that are similar to humans, living for around 50 to 70 years.Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago, US has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors(肿瘤)developing. To be precise, they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species, including humans, only carry one copy. According to the research, the extra copies of the gene improved the animal’s sensitivity to DNA damage, which lets the cells quickly kill themselves whendamaged before they can go on to form deadly tumors.“An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals ,”the study author Dr Vincent Lynch told The Guardian. If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous(癌变的), large creatures with a long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass.This phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named “Peto’s paradox(悖论)”. Biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller animals do not. In the elephant’s case, the making of TP53 is nature’s way of keeping this species alive. The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice, they had the same cancer resistance as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancers spreading or even developing in the first place.“Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,”said Joshua Schiffman, a biologist at the School of Medicine, University of Utah, US. “It’s up to us to learn how different animals deal with the problem so that we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.”1.Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer?A.They have a rather large body size.B.Their genes suffer no DNA damage.C.Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors.D.They carry many genes to prevent tumors developing.2.According to the passage, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals?A.Deadly tumors.B.The huge body mass.C.Cells killing themselves.D.Sensitivity to DNA damage.3.What does the underlined part “This phenomenon”in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?rger animals have protection from TP53.B.The risk of cancer is notrelated to body size.rger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones.D.The larger animals are, the bigger risk of cancer they will have.4.What can be concluded from the passage?A.Depending on nature is surely enough to fight against cancer.B.The TP53 genes have proved useful in stopping cancer in people.C.Humans are expected to prevent cancer with the making of TP53.D.The extra copies of elephants’genes are used to cure cancer patients.5、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。
