America’s innovation (创新) capital mainly consists of many small towns and cities on the San Francisco peninsula (半岛) squeezed between the coastal mountain range to the west and the bay to the east. It is traditionally made up of the top of Santa Clara County as well as the very bottom of San Mateo County.Not long ago, this place was known as the Valley of Heart’s Delight, famous for its plentiful fruit yards. The circumstances that turned the countryside into a technological center have been studied carefully, and many haveattempted to replicate the magic in Silicon Valley. Would-be followers would be right to conclude that access to basic research and start-up capital. But for the past two decades, photographer Beth Yarnelle Edwards has been documenting the one aspect often unnoticed by these observers: Silicon Valley’s fundamentally suburban (郊区的)character.Edwards’Suburban Dreams project was born in 1997. “I felt lonely and trapped, but I realized that the people around me really loved being there, ” she recalled. She began by photographing friends and acquaintances near her home in San Carlos. The project grew as she interviewed her subjects to understand how their environment shaped their hopes and dreams. “It’s really important to me that the pictures are true to what is happening in the home,” she says. In 2016, Edwards began revisiting her subjects to see the effects of the growth and the wealth. But she was surprised by how little had changed in the lives of those still there.Many Silicon Valley natives do not recognize much of what they see there nowadays. It’s true that modest bungalows have been replaced by very large houses. Almost everything is more crowded and more expensive. But a lot will never change. The main roads — Highway 101, the El Camino — are the same. So too the freestanding oak trees and gentle hills surrounded by golden grass. And at the heart of it all, as Edwards’ photos illustrate, the suburban dream is still alive.24. Where is Silicon Valley?A. In the center of San Francisco.B. On the San Francisco Peninsula.C. On top of Santa Clara County.D. At the bottom of San Mateo County.25. Which of the following best explains “replicate” underlined in paragraph 2?A. Copy.B. Replace.C. Study.D. Report.26.

What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Crazy Changes, Crazy FollowersB. Wild Dream, Successful projectC. Lively City, Major InnovationD. Unchanging life, Unchanging DreamCAs I wash dishes at the kitchen sink, my husband, Scott, paces behind me, annoyed. “Have you seen my keys?” he asks. In the past I would have turned off the tap and joined the hunt while trying to comfort my husband. But that only made him angrier. Now, I focus on the wet dish in my hands. I don’t turn around. I don’t say a word. I’m using a technique I learned from a dolphin trainer.For a book I was writing about animal trainers’school, I started spending my days watching professional trainers do the seemingly impossible: teaching dogs to dance on command and chimps to skateboard. Eventually it hit me that the same techniques might work on that stubborn but lovable species, the American husband. The central lesson I learned is that I should reward behaviour I like and ignore behaviour I don’t. After all, you don’t get a sea lion to balance a ball on the end of its nose by talking. The same goes for the American husband.I began thanking Scott if he threw one dirty shirt into the laundry basket. If he threw in two, I’d kiss him. I was using what trainers call “approximations”, rewarding the small steps toward learning a whole new behaviour. With Scott the husband, I began to praise every small act every time: if he drove just a mile an hour slower, or was on time for anything.I followed the students to Sea World San Diego, where a dolphin trainer introduced me to Least Reinforcing Scenario (L. R. S.). When a dolphin does something wrong, the trainer doesn’t respond in any way. The idea is that any response, positive or negative, fuels a behaviour. If a behaviour causes no response, it typically dies away. It was only a matter of time before he was again searching for his keys, at which point I said nothing and kept at what I was doing. It took a lot of discipline to maintain my calm, but results were immediate. I felt as if I should throw him a small fish.28. What can we infer about the writer?A. She treats her husband like animals.B. She often quarrels with her husband.C. She behaves differently to her husband.D. She’s determined to learn from the dolphin.29. How did the writer get the idea of treating her husband?A. By rewarding her husband.B. By writing a book on animals.C. By watching professional training.D. By focusing on washing the dishes.30. What will happen if the trainer doesn’t respond to the dolphin’s mistake?A. It will feel embarrassed.B. It will forget the mistake.C. It will remember its mistake.D. It will repeat the wrong action.31. What is the tone of the text?A. Humorous.B. Serious.C. Aggressive.D. Doubtful.DPolice recently caught the suspected Golden State Killer using a tool they could only have dreamed of decades ago, when a shocking series of murders shook California: a database filled with people’s genetic data (基因数据).Police used an open-source database called GEDmatch to find relatives who matched genetic material taken from an old crime scene, then worked backward to identify and catch 72- year-old former police officer Joseph James DeAngelo.GEDmatch’s 950, 000 users voluntarily upload and share their genetic information, making it accessible to others who share their own data — including law enforcement (执法). More than a dozen other similar platforms also exist. “If your relatives have contributed and you are part of even a family tree that appears online in one of these shared resources, you can be indirectly tracked through the combination of their DNA and the publicly available family history,” says Dr. Robert Green, a medical geneticist at Harvard Medical School.Data sent to commercial companies like 23andMe, which has over 5 million customers, is much tougher for outsiders to access, but the case has still highlighted the issue of genetic privacy.Although many genetic-testing companies have been asked to cooperate with legal investigations (调查), and clearly warn customers of this possibility, not all requests are honored. “23andMe has never given customer information to law-enforcement officials, ” a company representative told TIME.The risks of keeping such sensitive data private are high. The potential for abuse exists; for example, insurance companies could theoretically use genetic data to refuse coverage (保险项目), Green says. But the systems in place to prevent misuse appear to be working. One is the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, a 2008 law that protects consumers from employment and insurance discrimination related to genetics. As long as that’s the case, Green says, the good of genetic tests outweighs the bad.Sharon Zehe, a lawyer for the department of laboratory medicine and pathology at the Mayo Clinic, takes amore cautious approach. “Family tree services can be fun, but make sure you are using a reputable organization that has strong privacy policies in place, ” she says. “Genetic dat a is biologically as important as a fingerprint.”32. Who is the Golden State Killer?A. Robert Green.B. Joseph James De Angelo.C. The author.D. Sharon Zehe.33. What drives the users to upload their genetic data?A. The Police’s force.B. Their relatives’ advice.C. The boss’s order.D. Their own willingness.34. Who might misuse customers’ genetic data?A. The police.B. GEDmatch.C. Insurance companies.D. 23andMe.35. What is the main idea of the text?A. Genetic data is equal to a fingerprint.B. A 72-year-old killer was put into prison.C. Murders causes concern for genetic privacy.D. Genetic information is shared on the Internet.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。
