阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

Everyone gets anxious when the world takes an uncertain turn.And often,we treat that anxiety with a little panic buying.

A study published last year in theJournal of Consumer Researchfound that people buy things in troubled times as a means of keeping control over their lives.The researchers noted that utility items—specifically,cleaning products—tend to move most quickly from store shelves.The hoarding(囤积)of toilet paper,as perhaps the most fundamental clean⁃ing product,may represent our most fundamental fears.An invisible enemy moves slowly and quietly towards us.We need to hold on to something in uncertain times.Maybe a hoard of toilet paper brings promises.

The thing is that it's not actually going anywhere.For all the sharp words and even sharper elbows thrown around by the crazy toilet paper shoppers,they seem to be missing one essential fact:There is no toilet paper shortage.

AsThe New York Timespoints out,shop owners that see their shelves emptied often fill up the shelves again in a day,often in just a few hours.

“You are not using more of it.You are just filling up your closet with it,”Jeff Ander⁃son,president of paper product manufacturer Precision Paper Converters,tellsThe Times.

The thing is that the toilet paper⁃obsessed shoppers have been infected with some⁃thing many times more contagious(传染性的)than any coronavirus:fear.

“People are social creatures.We look to each other for cues for what is safe and what is dangerous,”Steven Taylor,a clinical psychologist at the University of British Columbia,tellsFox News.“And when you see someone in the store panic⁃buying,that can cause a fear contagion effect.People become anxious ahead of the actual infection.They haven't thought about the bigger picture,like what are the consequences of hoarding toilet paper.”

1.Why do shoppers have a little panic toilet paper buying?

A.The world is at a turning point.

B.It guarantees their victory over the coronavirus.

C.There is no adequate supply in the store at all.

D.It comes as a way of anxiety relief.

2.What's the purpose of paragraph 2?

A.To explain the reasons for a little panic toilet paper buying.

B.To warn us of the danger of an enemy.

3.What is the author's attitude toward the hoarding of toilet paper?

A.Uninterested. B.Negative. C.Supportive. D.Curious.

When people sit together at night and enjoy the glorious moon,an ancient poem,Pre⁃lude to Water Melody,is often read for this occasion.Critics say it's probably the best po⁃em about the Mid⁃Autumn Festival.Let's just focus on its most famous five lines to make some analysis.

In the first two lines of the five,the writer is comparing the life of a man to the chang⁃ing face of the moon.In Chinese culture the moon is always considered to be a perfect carri⁃er of emotions like nostalgia(怀旧)and longing for family reunion.A full moon symbolizes perfection and unity,while a gloomy night may remind people of their misfortunes.When the moon is round and fair but people are separated from their loved ones,such moments can be even more heartbreaking.

Before the comparison,the poet actually complains about the seemingly“ruthless(无情的)”moon and asks her:You should have no spite(怨恨)against man,but why then when people part,are you often full and bright?However,he soon realizes that no one has an easy ride,just like the moon may not always be bright.The imperfections have been go⁃ing on since the beginning of time.That's why he says“There has been nothing perfect since the olden days.”

But should we get bogged down(陷入)by the suffering of things which we can't change?The poet gives his answer:Change your attitude and stay positive.So,we have this everlasting line,“__________”The poet hopes that people appreciate the fact that no matter where they are,as long as the ones they love and miss are healthy and happy,they can all admire the same moon high in the sky.

To his day people still use this verse to express their good will and wishes for family members and friends who can't be with them,especially during major festivals.

8.What does the text mainly talk about?

A.How we can appreciate Chinese poetry about the Mid⁃Autumn Festival.

B.When we must recite the best Chinese poem about the Mid⁃Autumn Festival.

C.What made a poet write the best ever Chinese Mid⁃Autumn Festival poem.

D.Why a poem is the peak of Chinese poetry about the Mid⁃Autumn Festival.

9.Why did the poet write“There has been nothing perfect since the olden day.”in the poem?

A.He didn't understand why the moon hates humans.

B.He knew eventually the moon will become full again.

C.He realized life is always accompanied by imperfections.

D.He understood life is too ruthless and lost his interest in it.

10.Which of the following lines is the most suitable for the blank in paragraph 4?

A.How long will the full moon last?Wine cup in hand I ask the sky.

B.Looking up,I find the moon bright;bowing,in homesickness I'm drowned.

C.In spring the river rises as high as the sea;with the river's tide uprising the moon brightens.

D.May we all be blessed with a long life;miles apart,we'll share the beauty of the moon together.

11.What can we infer from the text according to the author?

A.The author is a very optimistic poet.

B.The author likes the first two lines of the five most.

C.The author appreciates the poet's optimism in the poem.

D.The author believes a positive state of mind is a must to a good poet.

D

While scientists have been modifying(修改)plant genes for years in biotechnology,they usually focus on a few specific genes in order to get a particular result.Plants have tens of thousands of genes.The genetically modified product(GMP)won't be dramatically different from its natural one.It may have a few features that the natural version doesn't have,but otherwise will remain identical.

Some people worry that genetic modification,which introduces genes from one species into an entirely different species,could create new allergens(过敏原).In fact,it may turn out that the opposite is true.Depending on the food,scientists might be able to remove or prevent the proteins that act as allergens for some people.This isn't true for every food,but genetic markers scientists use could lead to developing bacteria with a built⁃in resistance to antibiotics(抗生素).Scientists use antibiotic gene markers to link genes for the desired features.Also,by exposing modified plants'cells to antibiotics,a scientist can confirm whether or not the genetic modification is successful.

But what if that resistance could be passed on the bacteria?It's possible that bacteria in the soil around a plant with antibiotic resistance could pick up the DNA.The bacteria could,in theory,pass this feature to other types of bacteria harmful to humans.So far,how⁃ever,scientistshavebeenunabletotransferantibioticresistancegenesfromplantstobacteria.

In the United States,farmers don't have to label genetically modified foods or prod⁃ucts.Both the Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration have very strict regulations that products must pass before they can go to the market.

It's possible that the foods that come from biotechnology are not only safe to eat,but they're actually safer than their natural counterparts.While the controversy around geneti⁃cally modified food is far from resolved,it appears that you shouldn't worry if the ear of corn you're about to enjoy got its start in a laboratory.

12.How could scientists deal with a plant in biotechnology?

A.By changing some cells. B.By adding some foreign genes.

C.By producing some natural proteins. D.By removing some of its branches.

13.Why do scientists expose modified plants'cells to antibiotics?

A.To promote their resistance. B.To get their unexpected features.

C.To see the effect of the modification. D.To improve the ability against bacteria.

14.What can be concluded from the text?

A.It takes time for customers to accept bioengineered food.

B.The laws in America are far from strict in regulating the GMP.

C.American farmers only care about improving their food produce.

D.Scientists have developed certain food beneficial to human health.

15.What attitude does the author hold to the GMP?

A.Positive. B.Negative. C.Ambiguous. D.Indifferent.

I experienced years of loneliness as a child.His friends teased him about baby⁃sitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine.With no other kids of my age in the neighborhood,I had to spend hours by myself.

A bright spot for me turned out to be reading.My love of the written word began early as my mother read to me every evening.I started reading books on my own before age 5 and my mother took me to the public library once a week to borrow several books.I quickly graduated from typical children's books to ones with fewer pictures and longer chapters.Reading opened new worlds to me.

My mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted.I tried making toy cars with cardboard boxes and constructing buildings from leftover cardboard and bits of wood my fa⁃ther gave me.When my mother saw my creations,she told me how creative my designs were.I learned a lot about how to extend the life of objects and transform them into something new and useful.It was a trait(特点)others found helpful,and I soon had friends who wanted to make things with me.

A.I wasn't alone any longer.

B.I enjoyed reading stories aloud.

It was January 24.I had finally completed my last radiation treatment.It had been a long journey—eight months in total since my initial diagnosis of breast cancer—and I had been looking forward to this day for a very long time.My husband Casey,who was wearing a pink ribbon on his jacket,was waiting for me in the lobby at Sunnybrook hospital in To⁃ronto.As a symbol to raise people's awareness of breast cancer,the pink ribbon had be⁃come a part of our life.On the way back home,we reflected on the past months and dis⁃cussed what lay ahead for our family.

We arrived home in time to have dinner with our three children—Tyler,eleven,Brady,nine,and Eve,six.The kids greeted me with hugs that I think were a little bit tighter and lasted a little bit longer than usual.

We were heading to the skating rink(溜冰场)that night.My son Brady had a hockey game and if his Tiger team won,they would move onto the next round.As a typical Canadi⁃an hockey mom,I had always loved going to the rink to watch my kids play.But since my diagnosis,the rink and the Tiger players had come to mean even more to me:it was my hap⁃py time in those painful months.

When we arrived at the rink,we were greeted with warm hellos.You could tell it was a big game as there was a large crowd of Tiger parents gathering in the lobby outside the dressing room.About ten minutes before game time,Brady's coach came out to the lobby and invited all the parents to come into the dressing room.
