C. Give pro golfers one-on-one instruction.
【答案】17. B 18. B 19. A 20. B
【解析】
【原文】Although the average golfer is a bit older, I started playing the game when I was 12 years old. At that time, I was fortunate to have youth golf camps available at my school. A group of friends and I practiced at these camps to be able to join our school team and play against others. Afterwards, I was invited to play in my first amateur tournament. Then, I taught my dad how to play while we toured the world for amateur tournaments. We played at famous golf courses like St. Andrew’s in Scotland, which is regarded as the place where the game was invented. Meanwhile, I played in tournaments like the junior British Open in England. Still, I had no idea where my athletic career would take me. Upon returning to the US, my dad became my manager and we invested all of our time into the sport. Then I worked my way up to play in the most essential tournament in the world — the Master’s Tournament. And in the US Open tournament, I won a total prize amount of $15 million. I owe all my successes to two things: my father’s constant effort and having a golf camp available to me when I was a child. No matter what happens, I will support my father and will provide groups of children with that same opportunity that benefited me so much.

Matt Stutzman, the American from Iowa, is a world champion archer who was born with no arms. He is also someone who, since childhood, has been in determined pursuit of what he calls a “Michael Jordan moment”, the point where one person not only changes their sport but the perception of it.
Stutzman is known as the “Armless Archer”. When he first entered competition at the turn of the 2010s, he was the first person to try shooting a bolt (弩箭) at a target without using fingers, wrist or triceps (三头肌). His technique involves picking up an arrow and loading it with his toes, using a release mechanism attached to his shoulder to connect his body to his bow, then leaning back in his seat to re. It was with this technique that, in 2015, Stutzman hit a target from 310 yards, setting a world record for the longest accurate shot taken in archery, whether by someone with a disability or not.
Stutzman says he learned about the sport watching TV one night and sprang into action when he Googled “teach an armless man to shoot a bow” and came up with nothing. “I remember going to an archery store and telling a guy I wanted to buy a bow,” Stutzman says with a faint smile flashing across his face. “The guy said to me, ‘you need a crossbow, because a crossbow is like a gun and easier.’ ”
Stutzman bought the bow anyway and was soon entering competitions alongside non-disabled athletes using a technique he had created himself. Within a year of focusing on his new passion, Stutzman was at the Paralympic Games in London winning silver in the men’s individual event. He was the world’s top-ranked para archer for the next four years. After the interruption of the pandemic, Stutzman won his first individual World Para Archery title in February last year, scoring a perfect 30 in his final round.
This is Stutzman’s Jordan moment: he has made change happen. But an increase in armless archers speaks not just to the 40-year-old’s power as a role model, but to the growth of para sport more broadly. So when it comes to Paris next year, Stutzman is clear as to what he would like to see happen. “Winning is OK,” he says, “but you know how good it would be to have one, two and three all armless archers. We’re trying to grow the sport, trying to grow the Paralympics as a whole.”
24. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The perception of the archery competition.
B. The accomplishments Stutzman has achieved.
C. The unique method applied by Stutzman as an archer.
D. The interaction with Michael Jordan as a world champion.
25. How does Stutzman feel when he recalls his experience in an archery store
A. Bitter. B. Amused. C. Excited. D. Embarrassed.
26. Which of the following statements may Stutzman agree with
A. He is overjoyed with his being a role model.
B. There is no more happier thing than winning a game.
C. It is the growth of para sport that makes him satisfied.
D. Michael Jordan has made change happen to para sport.
27. Which of the following best describe Stutzman as a world champion archer
A. Optimistic and cautious. B. Ambitious and creative.
C. Committed and humorous. D. Warm-hearted and conservative.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍的是来自爱荷华州的美国残疾射箭手——Matt Stutzman的经历以及所取得的成就。
【24题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“Stutzman is known as the “Armless Archer”. When he first entered competition at the turn of the 2010s, he was the first person to try shooting a bolt (弩箭) at a target without using fingers, wrist or triceps (三头肌). ( Stutzman被称为“无臂射手”。当他在2010年代初首次参加比赛时，他是第一个尝试在不使用手指、手腕或三头肌的情况下向目标射击的人。)”以及下文中的介绍的他利用这种技术所取得分成绩可知，他不使用手指、手腕或三头肌的情况下射箭，由此可知，本段主要讲述的是Stutzman作为一名弓箭手所采用的独特方法。故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的““I remember going to an archery store and telling a guy I wanted to buy a bow,” Stutzman says with a faint smile flashing across his face. “The guy said to me, ‘you need a crossbow, because a crossbow is like a gun and easier.’ ” (“我记得我去了一家箭店，告诉一个家伙我想买一把弓，” Stutzman说，脸上闪过一丝微笑。“那个人对我说，‘你需要一把弩，因为弩就像一把枪，而且更容易。’”)”可知，在他回忆在箭店的经历时，他的脸上闪过一丝微笑，因为当时卖箭的家伙认为Stutzman是残疾人，不适合射箭，所以建议他买一把弩，由此可知，他觉得自己被那个卖箭的家伙逗笑了。故选B项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据尾段中的“So when it comes to Paris next year, Stutzman is clear as to what he would like to see happen. “Winning is OK,” he says, “but you know how good it would be to have one, two and three all armless archers. We’re trying to grow the sport, trying to grow the Paralympics as a whole.” (因此，当谈到明年的巴黎时，Stutzman很清楚他希望看到什么。“赢是可以的，”他说，“但你知道如果有一个、两个或三个全无臂的弓箭手该有多好。我们正在努力发展这项运动，努力发展整个残奥会。”)”可知，Stutzman认为在残奥会上有更多的全无臂弓箭手有多好，人们正在努力发展整个残疾人运动，由此可知，残疾人运动的发展让他更满意。故选C项
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段中的“He is also someone who, since childhood, has been in determined pursuit of what he calls a “Michael Jordan moment”, the point where one person not only changes their sport but the perception of it. (他也是一个从小就坚定追求他所谓的“迈克尔·乔丹时刻”的人，一个人不仅改变了他们的运动，而且改变了人们对这项运动的看法。)”可知，虽然Stutzman是一个残疾人，但是他是一个从小就坚定追求他所谓的“乔丹时刻”的人，由此可知，Stutzman是一个有雄心的人；根据第二段中的“When he first entered competition at the turn of the 2010s, he was the first person to try shooting a bolt (弩箭) at a target without using fingers, wrist or triceps (三头肌). His technique involves picking up an arrow and loading it with his toes, using a release mechanism attached to his shoulder to connect his body to his bow, then leaning back in his seat to re. (当他在2010年代初首次参加比赛时，他是第一个尝试在不使用手指、手腕或三头肌的情况下向目标射击的人(弩)。他的技术包括拿起一支箭，用脚趾装箭，用肩膀上的释放装置将身体连接到弓上，然后靠在座位上射击。)”可知，作为一个无臂残疾人，他发明创造了适合残疾人射箭的技术，由此可知，Stutzman是一个有创造力的人，由此可知，Stutzman是有雄心有创造力的人。故选B项。
C
A form of gene therapy that is already being trialled in patients with Parkinson’s disease might provide a treatment for severe alcohol addiction.
Alcohol misuse is the biggest risk factor for death, disability and ill health among people aged 15 to 49 in the UK, responsible for 9,641 deaths during 2021. Like other addictive substances, alcohol triggers the release of a feelgood chemical in the brain called dopamine. However, long-term drinking decreases dopamine release, and people who are addicted to alcohol don’t tend to feel pleasure in drinking it any more. “It seems that they’re drinking more because they feel a need to maintain a drunk state,” said Prof Kathleen Grant at Oregon Health and Science University.
The idea of the gene therapy was to try to reset this dopamine reward pathway by enhancing the function of brain cells that synthesize dopamine. Like humans, some macaque monkeys are more likely to drink heavily than others: if you begin to offer them the choice of 5% alcohol alongside their regular food and water, some monkeys will eventually almost always choose the alcohol. Grant and her colleagues wondered whether resetting their dopamine reward pathways might contain their desire to drink alcohol. To do this, they used a harmless virus to deliver the gene for a protein called glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) to an area of the brain that is involved in addiction and reward. “We targeted the cell bodies that produce dopamine with this gene to increase dopamine synthesis, thus supplementing or restoring what long-term drinking has taken away,” Grant said.
The research, which was published in Nature Medicine, found that the macaques permanently started overexpressing dopamine and decreased their alcohol consumption by up to 90%. “We are entering an era of gene therapy for neurological disorders and perhaps mental disorders, and I think this study is very promising in that direction.” Grant said.
She added that animal studies are needed before the technique could be tested on humans. Also, because the gene therapy procedure involves brain surgery, it would probably only ever be used in the most severe cases of alcohol addiction.
28. Why do severe alcohol addicts drink more
A Because they long for desired pleasure.
B. Because they have a form of gene defect.
C. Because they want to escape from reality.
D. Because they suffer from deadly disability.
29. The underlined word “synthesize” in paragraph 3 can best be replaced by ________.
A. Stimulate. B. Produce. C. Charge. D. Delay.
30. What did Grant’s study focus on
A. The life habit of macaque monkeys.
B. The way to control alcohol addiction.
C. The working mechanism of dopamine.
D. The function of the protein called GDNF.
31. What did Grant suggest about the gene therapy
A. Employ it to treat severe alcohol addiction only.
B. Replace it with more efficient methods if necessary.
C. Confirm its effectiveness with more tests on humans.
D. Put it into widespread use on other common species.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一种已经在帕金森氏症患者身上进行试验的基因疗法可能为严重的酒精成瘾提供治疗。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Like other addictive substances, alcohol triggers the release of a feelgood chemical in the brain called dopamine. However, long-term drinking decreases dopamine release, and people who are addicted to alcohol don’t tend to feel pleasure in drinking it any more. “It seems that they’re drinking more because they feel a need to maintain a drunk state,” said Prof Kathleen Grant at Oregon Health and Science University.”（像其他成瘾物质一样，酒精会引发大脑释放一种叫做多巴胺的感觉良好的化学物质。然而，长期饮酒会减少多巴胺的释放，而且嗜酒的人往往不会再从饮酒中感到快乐。俄勒冈健康与科学大学的凯瑟琳·格兰特教授说：“似乎他们喝得更多是因为他们觉得有必要保持醉酒状态。”）可推知，重度嗜酒者喝得更多是因为他们渴望想要的快乐。故选A项。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词句中“The idea of the gene therapy was to try to reset this dopamine reward pathway by enhancing the function of brain cells…”（基因疗法的想法是试图通过增强……脑细胞的功能来重置多巴胺奖励通路。）由此可知，此处为通过增强合成多巴胺的脑细胞的功能。故可猜测划线单词synthesize为“合成”的意思，结合选项B项Produce“生产，产生”意思一致。故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Grant and her colleagues wondered whether resetting their dopamine reward pathways might contain their desire to drink alcohol. To do this, they used a harmless virus to deliver the gene for a protein called glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) to an area of the brain that is involved in addiction and reward.”（格兰特和她的同事们想知道，重置多巴胺奖励通路是否会抑制他们喝酒的欲望。为了做到这一点，他们使用了一种无害的病毒，将一种叫做神经胶质源性神经营养因子(GDNF)的蛋白质基因传递到大脑中与成瘾和奖励有关的区域。）可知，格兰特的研究重点是控制酒瘾的方法。故选B项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Also, because the gene therapy procedure involves brain surgery, it would probably only ever be used in the most severe cases of alcohol addiction.”（此外，由于基因治疗过程涉及脑部手术，它可能只会用于最严重的酒精成瘾病例。）可知，格兰特对基因疗法的建议是仅用于治疗严重的酒精成瘾。故选A项。
D
California is speeding up the launch of its robotaxi. Cars without drivers are already becoming a common sight on San Francisco’s winding and foggy streets with a lot of hills. But they’ve been limited in their areas and time of operation, and in some cases have had human safety monitors on board. Last week, California officials voted to remove most restrictions for the two leading self-driving car companies, Waymo and Cruise, letting them charge for rides anywhere in the city 24/7. It’s a critical moment for the industry, which has grown to more than 40 companies reaching millions of miles on public roads every year.
If this is the future, it’s still a tough nut in progress. One San Francisco driverless vehicle rolled into an active fire scene and prevented firefighters from carrying out their work. Others have stopped dead in the middle of traffic. There were 93 reported traffic incidents involving robotaxis in March alone. California regulators shouldn’t be giving robotaxis a free pass. Driverless cars could make a difference to the city streets the way gas-powered automobiles did a century ago. The objection to driverless cars has been similar, too. In San Francisco, one activist group has begun coning self-driving taxis—placing a simple orange cone (圆锥体) on the metal cover of the engine, which seems to “paralyze” an autonomous vehicle.
“I wanted to love robotaxis,” said Elaine Moore in the Financial Times. “Eliminating human error would undoubtedly make roads safer. But then came the time I hailed a Cruise car. A few minutes into the journey, the car suddenly changed course, extending the estimated time to arrival for no reason. Then the car just stopped. We tried to exit but the doors remained locked. Although it was only for a few seconds, it still made me pause before I hopped in another robotaxi anytime soon.”
“These horror stories remain the exception” said Benjamin Schneider in the MIT Technology Review. “Over the past few years, Cruise and Waymo have added up to over a million driverless miles without accidents in major American cities.” At certain times in San Francisco, he estimated that 1 in 10 cars on the road has no driver behind the wheel. He was amazed that so few people are aware of how quickly this industry is advancing, or have considered the near-term labor and transportation impacts. Like it or not, robotaxis are here.
32. What does “this” refer to in the second paragraph
A. Restrictions will be cancelled for the self-driving cars.
B. Francisco’ streets will be upgraded by California regulators.
C. Robotaxis will be in full wings in California around the clock.
D. Millions of miles on public roads will be monitored every year.
33. Why has one activist group begun coning self-driving taxis
A. To fight against the San Francisco government.
B. To make the robotaxis unable to function properly.
C. To push for technological progress in driverless cars.
D. To imitate what gas-powered automobiles did a century ago.
34. What is Benjamin Schneider’s attitude towards robotaxis
A. Favorable. B. Unclear. C. Skeptical. D. Opposed.
35. What’s the best title of the passage
A. Robotaxis: a perfect replacement of gas cars
B. Robotaxis: an immediate launch of driverless cars
C. Robotaxis: an advanced technology around the world
D. Robotaxis: a tough issue of transportation in America
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. B

词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“California is speeding up the launch of its robotaxi.(加利福尼亚州正在加快推出其自动驾驶出租车。)”和“Last week, California officials voted to remove most restrictions for the two leading self-driving car companies, Waymo and Cruise, letting them charge for rides anywhere in the city 24/7.(上周，加州官员投票决定取消对Waymo和Cruise这两家领先的自动驾驶汽车公司的大部分限制，允许他们在城市的任何地方全天候收费。)”可知，加利福尼亚州加快推出自动驾驶出租车，解除了对自动驾驶汽车的大部分限制，由此可推测出，this指代前文内容，在这里表示自动驾驶出租车即将在加利福尼亚州全力前进。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In San Francisco, one activist group has begun coning self-driving taxis—placing a simple orange cone(圆锥体) on the metal cover of the engine, which seems to ‘paralyze’ an autonomous vehicle.(在旧金山，一个激进组织已经开始用圆锥形路标封闭自动驾驶出租车——在发动机的金属盖上放置一个简单的橙色锥形，这似乎会使自动驾驶汽车‘瘫痪’。)”可知，该激进组织用圆锥形路标封闭自动驾驶出租车是为了不让它正常运转。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Over the past few years, Cruise and Waymo have added up to over a million driverless miles without accidents in major American cities.(在过去的几年里，Cruise和Waymo在美国主要城市累计行驶了100多万英里无人驾驶里程，没有发生事故。)”和“He was amazed that so few people are aware of how quickly this industry is advancing, or have considered the near-term labor and transportation impacts.(令他惊讶的是，很少有人意识到这个行业的发展速度有多快，或者考虑过近期对劳动力和交通的影响。)”可知，Benjamin Schneider说在过去的几年里，Cruise和Waymo在美国主要城市累计行驶了100多万英里且没有发生事故，而且这一行业发展迅速，对劳动力和交通也产生了影响。由此可推测出，他对自动驾驶出租车持支持态度。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段首句“California is speeding up the launch of its robotaxi.(加利福尼亚州正在加快推出其自动驾驶出租车。)”引出了话题，接着谈论了自动驾驶汽车行业面临的问题和质疑，以及支持者的意见，由此可推测出，B项“自动驾驶出租车：无人驾驶汽车的立即推出”最适合作文章标题，简单陈述了推出自动驾驶出租车的现象，不含评论和意见。故选B。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In high school, I was a straight-A student, a member of many school clubs, and a receiver of many rewards. However, I had been subjected to peer pressure. Wanting to be “Cool”, I started going to parties and drinking, drunk beyond recognition. My life took a turn for the worse. However, the experience in one summer program taught me a lesson: never do something you believe is wrong just to gain the approval of others.
In June, I worked part-time at a restaurant. The day before I left for the program, one co-worker offered me his driver’s license, telling me to have fun in Quebec since we two almost looked the same. I’d seen friends walk into liquor (酒) stores with fake licenses and come out carrying a twelve-pack of beer, smiling proudly. So I took the license, but I promised myself that I wouldn’t use it. However, I easily got carried away.
On the first night of the program, while walking around, my new friends and I came across a liquor store. Kai asked if anyone had a fake license. After everyone shook his head, I cleared my throat and declared, “I do.” With everyone’s admiration and Kai’s twenty dollars and instruction, I boldly agreed to take on the task without thinking. I managed to buy a case of beer. The boys cheered and gave me pats on the back. “You’re the man,” someone said to me. The praise boosted my self-confidence.
The last night there was a party. A few of my friends insisted that we drink before the dance. They asked me, the “ID man,” to buy alcohol. To earn their admiration, I took the cash and bought what they wanted. Later that night, I was enjoying myself when Kai said nervously, “Cristian isn’t okay.” Worried for my friend, I went to assess the situation. Clearly, Cristian was overly drunk and almost unconscious.
注意：

Paragraph 1:
Suddenly, something went wrong: Cristian fell to the ground.

Paragraph 2:
The next day, I was called to the program director’s office.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Suddenly, something went wrong: Cristian fell to the ground. His face was pale, his body was limp, his eyes rolled back, and his breaths were frighteningly slow. Panic spread through the room as we realized the severity of the situation. We gathered around him, desperately trying to figure out what to do next. Quickly, someone called 911 and Cristian was rushed into the hospital. Later I was told Cristian’s condition was serious, but fortunately he didn’t suffer any permanent damage as a result of timely rescue. The whole night found me tossing and turning, uneasy about the mess I had caused.
The next day, I was called to the program director’s office. I knew that there was no point in denying the truth. So I admitted everything. Like a caught criminal, I was overcome with guilt, drooping my head in shame. Then came the punishment that I lost the chance to join in the program, which was less severe than what I’d expected. Back home, I realized that I couldn’t continue down this path of seeking approval at any cost. It was time to prioritize my values and I vowed not to let peer pressure cloud my judgment and lead me astray again.

Some new museums are opening around the world. Here are four of them deserving to be visited.
Maison Gainsbourg, Paris
The Parisian townhouse where the French singer Serge Gainsbourg lived has been closed off to the public since his death in 1991. This spring, though, it’ll finally open as a museum focusing on his life and work. The project has been led by his daughter—the actor and singer Charlotte—and the main attraction will surely be Serge’s living area, with his piano, art deco bar and a huge collection of sculptures.
National Museum of Norway, Oslo
This year, the National Museum of Norway will open on Oslo’s waterfront, becoming the largest museum in the Nordic countries. The museum collection includes 100,000 objects, with highlights including the Norwegian Baldishol tapestry(挂毯) and an array of Golden Age Flemish landscapes.
Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney
The expansion of the Art Gallery of New South Wales has cost a cool $177 million. That’s a lot of money. But it is properly amazing. Visitors enter via a vast glass facade(幕墙), which hangs above a pair of oil tanks from the Second World War period. Torres Strait Islands’ artists’ artworks are given priority in the new gallery spaces.
Museum of Art & Photography, Bengaluru

Matt Stutzman the American from Iowa, is a world champion archer who was born with no arms. He is also someone who, since childhood, has been in determined pursuit of what he calls a “Michael Jordan moment”, the point where one person not only changes their sport but the perception of it.
Stutzman is known as the “Armless Archer”. When he first entered competition at the turn of the 2010s, he was the first person to try shooting a bolt (弩箭) at a target without using fingers, wrist or triceps (三头肌). His technique involves picking up an arrow and loading it with his toes, using a release mechanism attached to his shoulder to connect his body to his bow, then leaning back in his seat to re. It was with this technique that, in 2015, Stutzman hit a target from 310 yards, setting a world record for the longest accurate shot taken in archery, whether by someone with a disability or not.
Stutzman says he learned about the sport watching TV one night and sprang into action when he Googled “teach an armless man to shoot a bow” and came up with nothing. “I remember going to an archery store and telling a guy I wanted to buy a bow,” Stutzman says with a faint smile flashing across his face. “The guy said to me, ‘you need a crossbow, because a crossbow is like a gun and easier.’ ”
Stutzman bought the bow anyway and was soon entering competitions alongside non-disabled athletes using a technique he had created himself. Within a year of focusing on his new passion, Stutzman was at the Paralympic Games in London winning silver in the men’s individual event. He was the world’s top-ranked para archer for the next four years. After the interruption of the pandemic, Stutzman won his first individual World Para Archery title in February last year, scoring a perfect 30 in his final round.
This is Stutzman’s Jordan moment: he has made change happen. But an increase in armless archers speaks not just to the 40-year-old’s power as a role model, but to the growth of para sport more broadly. So when it comes to Paris next year, Stutzman is clear as to what he would like to see happen. “Winning is OK,” he says, “but you know how good it would be to have one, two and three all armless archers. We’re trying to grow the sport, trying to grow the Paralympics as a whole.”
24. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The perception of the archery competition.
B. The accomplishments Stutzman has achieved.
C. The unique method applied by Stutzman as an archer.
D. The interaction with Michael Jordan as a world champion.
25. How does Stutzman feel when he recalls his experience in an archery store
A. Bitter. B. Amused. C. Excited. D. Embarrassed.
26. Which of the following statements may Stutzman agree with
A. He is overjoyed with his being a role model.
B. There is no more happier thing than winning a game.
C. It is the growth of para sport that makes him satisfied.
D. Michael Jordan has made change happen to para sport.
27. Which of the following best describe Stutzman as a world champion archer
A. Optimistic and cautious. B. Ambitious and creative.
C. Committed and humorous. D. Warm-hearted and conservative.
C
A form of gene therapy that is already being trialled in patients with Parkinson’s disease might provide a treatment for severe alcohol addiction.
Alcohol misuse is the biggest risk factor for death, disability and ill health among people aged 15 to 49 in the UK, responsible for 9,641 deaths during 2021. Like other addictive substances, alcohol triggers the release of a feelgood chemical in the brain called dopamine. However, long-term drinking decreases dopamine release, and people who are addicted to alcohol don’t tend to feel pleasure in drinking it any more. “It seems that they’re drinking more because they feel a need to maintain a drunk state,” said Prof Kathleen Grant at Oregon Health and Science University.
The idea of the gene therapy was to try to reset this dopamine reward pathway by enhancing the function of brain cells that synthesize dopamine. Like humans, some macaque monkeys are more likely to drink heavily than others: if you begin to offer them the choice of 5% alcohol alongside their regular food and water, some monkeys will eventually almost always choose the alcohol. Grant and her colleagues wondered whether resetting their dopamine reward pathways might contain their desire to drink alcohol. To do this, they used a harmless virus to deliver the gene for a protein called glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) to an area of the brain that is involved in addiction and reward. “We targeted the cell bodies that produce dopamine with this gene to increase dopamine synthesis, thus supplementing or restoring what long-term drinking has taken away,” Grant said.
The research, which was published in Nature Medicine, found that the macaques permanently started overexpressing dopamine and decreased their alcohol consumption by up to 90%. “We are entering an era of gene therapy for neurological disorders and perhaps mental disorders, and I think this study is very promising in that direction.” Grant said.
She added that animal studies are needed before the technique could be tested on humans. Also, because the gene therapy procedure involves brain surgery, it would probably only ever be used in the most severe cases of alcohol addiction.
28. Why do severe alcohol addicts drink more
A. Because they long for desired pleasure.
B. Because they have a form of gene defect.
C. Because they want to escape from reality.
D. Because they suffer from deadly disability.
29. The underlined word “synthesize” in paragraph 3 can best be replaced by ________.
A. Stimulate. B. Produce. C. Charge. D. Delay.
30. What did Grant’s study focus on
A. The life habit of macaque monkeys.
B. The way to control alcohol addiction.
C. The working mechanism of dopamine.
D. The function of the protein called GDNF.
31. What did Grant suggest about the gene therapy
A. Employ it to treat severe alcohol addiction only.
B. Replace it with more efficient methods if necessary.
C. Confirm its effectiveness with more tests on humans.
D. Put it into widespread use on other common species.
D
California is speeding up the launch of its robotaxi. Cars without drivers are already becoming a common sight on San Francisco’s winding and foggy streets with a lot of hills. But they’ve been limited in their areas and time of operation, and in some cases have had human safety monitors on board. Last week, California officials voted to remove most restrictions for the two leading self-driving car companies, Waymo and Cruise, letting them charge for rides anywhere in the city 24/7. It’s a critical moment for the industry, which has grown to more than 40 companies reaching millions of miles on public roads every year.
If this is the future, it’s still a tough nut in progress. One San Francisco driverless vehicle rolled into an active fire scene and prevented firefighters from carrying out their work. Others have stopped dead in the middle of traffic. There were 93 reported traffic incidents involving robotaxis in March alone. California regulators shouldn’t be giving robotaxis a free pass. Driverless cars could make a difference to the city streets the way gas-powered automobiles did a century ago. The objection to driverless cars has been similar, too. In San Francisco, one activist group has begun coning self-driving taxis—placing a simple orange cone (圆锥体) on the metal cover of the engine, which seems to “paralyze” an autonomous vehicle.
“I wanted to love robotaxis,” said Elaine Moore in the Financial Times. “Eliminating human error would undoubtedly make roads safer. But then came the time I hailed a Cruise car. A few minutes into the journey, the car suddenly changed course, extending the estimated time to arrival for no reason. Then the car just stopped. We tried to exit but the doors remained locked. Although it was only for a few seconds, it still made me pause before I hopped in another robotaxi anytime soon.”
“These horror stories remain the exception,” said Benjamin Schneider in the MIT Technology Review. “Over the past few years, Cruise and Waymo have added up to over a million driverless miles without accidents in major American cities.” At certain times in San Francisco, he estimated that 1 in 10 cars on the road has no driver behind the wheel. He was amazed that so few people are aware of how quickly this industry is advancing, or have considered the near-term labor and transportation impacts. Like it or not, robotaxis are here.
32. What does “this” refer to in the second paragraph
A. Restrictions will be cancelled for the self-driving cars.
B. Francisco’ streets will be upgraded by California regulators.
C. Robotaxis will be in full wings in California around the clock.
D. Millions of miles on public roads will be monitored every year.
33. Why has one activist group begun coning self-driving taxis
A. To fight against the San Francisco government.
B. To make the robotaxis unable to function properly.
C. To push for technological progress in driverless cars.
D. To imitate what gas-powered automobiles did a century ago.
34. What is Benjamin Schneider’s attitude towards robotaxis
A. Favorable. B. Unclear. C. Skeptical. D. Opposed.
35. What’s the best title of the passage
A. Robotaxis: a perfect replacement of gas cars
B. Robotaxis: an immediate launch of driverless cars
C. Robotaxis: an advanced technology around the world
D. Robotaxis: a tough issue of transportation in America

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In high school, I was a straight-A student, a member of many school clubs, and a receiver of many rewards. However, I had been subjected to peer pressure. Wanting to be “Cool”, I started going to parties and drinking, drunk beyond recognition. My life took a turn for the worse. However, the experience in one summer program taught me a lesson: never do something you believe is wrong just to gain the approval of others.
In June, I worked part-time at a restaurant. The day before I left for the program, one co-worker offered me his driver’s license, telling me to have fun in Quebec since we two almost looked the same. I’d seen friends walk into liquor (酒) stores with fake licenses and come out carrying a twelve-pack of beer, smiling proudly. So I took the license, but I promised myself that I wouldn’t use it. However, I easily got carried away.
On the first night of the program, while walking around, my new friends and I came across a liquor store. Kai asked if anyone had a fake license. After everyone shook his head, I cleared my throat and declared, “I do.” With everyone’s admiration and Kai’s twenty dollars and instruction, I boldly agreed to take on the task without thinking. I managed to buy a case of beer. The boys cheered and gave me pats on the back. “You’re the man,” someone said to me. The praise boosted my self-confidence.
The last night there was a party. A few of my friends insisted that we drink before the dance. They asked me, the “ID man,” to buy alcohol. To earn their admiration, I took the cash and bought what they wanted. Later that night, I was enjoying myself when Kai said nervously, “Cristian isn’t okay.” Worried for my friend, I went to assess the situation. Clearly, Cristian was overly drunk and almost unconscious.
