s.InColorado,forinstance,27buildingshousescary-soundingchemicalelementssuchascesium137andcobalt60.Thesematerialsarenotthereforriskypurposes,though.Theyplayapartincancertreatment,bloodirradiation,medicalandfoodsterilization,structureandequipmenttesting,geologicexploration,etc.(我们的星球是许多放射性物质的家园——不仅存在于地质内部，而且存在于医院、工业场所和食品加工厂。例如，在科罗拉多州，27栋建筑里存放着听起来可怕的化学元素，比如铯137和钴60。不过，这些材料并不是用于危险目的。它们在癌症治疗、血液辐照、医疗和食品灭菌、结构和设备测试、地质勘探等方面发挥作用)”可推知，作者在第一段中似乎想传达的信息是放射性物质基本上到处都是。故选C。18．【答案】D【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段中“Theradioactivematerialisnotalwaysbadinablackand-whiteway:itcanbeausefultool.Theraysgivenoffbycesiumandcobaltcankillgermsmultiplyinginyourmeatandmakeyourappleslastlonger.Radiographicinstrumentscandetect,say,cracksinacity’spipesinasimilarwaytoanx-raypickingupahairlinefractureinyourknee.Apracticecalled“welllogging”usessealedradioactivesourcestomapthegeologyofholesoilseekersdrillintotheearth.(放射性物质并不总是以黑白分明的方式有害：它可以是一种有用的工具。铯和钴释放出的射线可以杀死肉中繁殖的细菌，让苹果的寿命更长。比如说，放射设备可以探测到城市管道的裂缝，就像X光检查出膝盖的细微骨折一样。一种被称为“测井”的方法使用密封的放射源来绘制石油勘探者在地球上钻的洞的地质图)”可推知，作者在第二段提到“well-logging”是为了支持放射性物质可以是一种有用的工具这样一个观点，故选D。19．【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段“AninitiativecalledRadSecure100waslaunchedtoremoveandbettersecureenergeticmaterialin100U.S.cities.(一项名为RadSecure100的倡议发起了，目的是在100个美国城市移除并更好地保护含能材料)”可知，RadSecure\n100的用途是确保放射性物质的安全。故选B。20．【答案】B【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段中“Theradioactivematerialisnotalwaysbadinablackand-whiteway:itcanbeausefultool.(放射性物质并不总是以黑白分明的方式有害：它可以是一种有用的工具)”以及倒数第二段中“Theriskarisesbecausethesameradioactivematerialthatisbeneficialcouldalsobestolenormisplacedandfinditswayintotraffickingringsordirtybombs.(风险之所以会增加，是因为同样有益的放射性物质也可能被偷或放错地方，进入贩运团伙或脏弹)”可知，作者说明了放射性物质的好处和坏处，即可推知，作者对放射性物质的态度是客观的。故选B。Passage6（2022·陕西·宝鸡中学模拟预测）Forthousandsofyears,mankindhasbredplantsandanimalstocreatemoredesiredandusefulplantsandanimals.Forinstance,moderncornhasbeenbredtosuchalargesizethatitisnolongerabletoreproducewithoutman’sassistance.Moderndairycowsproducetoomuchmilk;andiftheyarenotoftendrainedofmilk,theycouldleak,burst,becomeinfected,andpossiblydie.Furthermore,mostdomesticateddogscannotsurviveinthewildevenwithspecialtraining.Sincenaturalevolutionisextremelyslowandmankind’sselectivebreedingprogramsonlytakeafewgenerationstoproduceacompletelynewspecies,naturalevolutionhasalreadytakenabackseattomankind’sbreedingprograms.Additionally,mankindhassuccessfullykilledoffseveralspeciesalltogether.Forinstance,therearenomoreEuropeanwolvesinexistenceandmammothsprobablybecameextinctbecauseofmankind.Evencertaindiseaseshavebeenpermanentlyeradicated(根除)fromtheplanet,anddozensofotherdiseaseswillsoonfollow.Again,naturalevolutiondidnotcausemostextinctionduringhumanity’sreign.Currently,scientistsarecreatingnewspecieswithdesiredcharacteristicsinthelabsignificantlyfasterthanevolutioncreatesnewspecies.Inasinglegeneration,newspeciescanbeartificiallycreatedanddestroyed,whilenaturalevolutioncouldtakethousandsofyearstodothesamebutonlyhaphazardly(偶然地).Scientistsareevenabletoreplaceflawed(有缺陷的)ordamagedgeneswithdifferentgenesinanattempttocuregeneticdefects.Thisissomethingthatnaturalevolutioncouldpossiblynevercorrect.Eventuallyscientistswillbeabletoenhanceevenpeople.Forexample,imaginenotonlycorrectingyoureyesightwithgenetherapy,butalsoensuringthatallofyourdescendantsdonotinherityouroldgenesofpooreyesightto.Scientistswillonedaybeabletoenhancethememoryandintelligenceofyourchildren,sothattheywilldobetterinschoolandachievemoreinlife.Doctorsandscientistswillbeabletocustomizebabiesbeforetheyarebornjustlikepickingoptionsatacardealership.Inthenearfuture,naturalevolutioninthegeneticcodeofanyspeciescanbequicklyfixedifdesired.Asaresult,naturalevolutionisdoomed.\n21．FromParagraph1welearnthat______.A．selectivebreedinghasimprovedallspeciesB．onlyselectivebreedingcanmakeupfornaturallossesC．moderncorncan’tabletoreproduceitselfduetoselectivebreedingD．naturalevolutioncan’tdowithoutman’sassistance22．Theunderlinedword“backseat”inParagraph1probablymeans“______”.A．powerfulassistanceB．importantpartC．badfortuneD．secondaryposition23．Whatdoweknowfromthepassage?A．Selectivebreedingispartlybeneficialtohumans.B．Geneticdefectswon’tbeinheritedduetonaturalevolution.C．Naturalevolutioncan’tcreatenewspecies.D．Selectivebreedingcandeterminethesexofbabies.24．Theauthormainlywantstotellusthat______.A．selectivebreedingwillcausetheextinctionofmanyspeciesB．naturalevolutionisalmostdeadwiththedevelopmentofselectivebreedingC．selectivebreedinghasarousedattentionfromallovertheworldD．naturalevolutionsurvivesstronglyalthoughitisindanger【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章讲述了人为进化的好处，如奶牛可以专门产奶，玉米的产量比以前也高很多，但是离开人类的照料那些动植物都不会很好的生存。在不久的将来，任何物种的遗传密码中的自然进化都可以在需要的情况下迅速得到修复。因此，自然进化是注定的。21．【答案】C【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中“Forinstance,moderncornhasbeenbredtosuchalargesizethatitisnolongerabletoreproducewithoutman’sassistance.(例如，现代玉米已经被培育到如此大的尺寸，以至于没有人类的帮助它无法自己繁殖)”可知，由于选择性育种，现代玉米无法自己繁殖。故选C项。22．【答案】D【解析】词句猜测题。根据划线词前“Sincenaturalevolutionisextremelyslowandmankind’sselectivebreedingprogramsonlytakeafewgenerationstoproduceacompletelynewspecies(由于自然进化极其缓慢，而人类的选择性繁殖程序只需要几代人就能产生一个全新的物种)”可知，人类的选择性繁殖速度比自然进化快得多，由此可推知，“naturalevolutionhasalreadytakenabackseattomankind’sbreedingprograms”意为：自然进化已经让位于人类的繁殖计划，backseat意为“次要位置”。故选D项。\n23．【答案】A【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段中“Forthousandsofyears,mankindhasbredplantsandanimalstocreatemoredesiredandusefulplantsandanimals.(几千年来，人类一直在培育植物和动物，以创造出更理想、更有用的植物和动物)”及第二段中“Additionally,mankindhassuccessfullykilledoffseveralspeciesalltogether.(此外，人类还成功地消灭了几个物种)”和“anddozensofotherdiseaseswillsoonfollow(其他几十种疾病也将接踵而至)”可知，选择性繁殖可以为人类带来财富，但也会导致物种灭绝，产生新的疾病，所以选择性繁殖只在一定程度上对人类有益。故选A项。24．【答案】D【解析】推理判断题。根据文章内容，结合最后一段“Inthenearfuture,naturalevolutioninthegeneticcodeofanyspeciescanbequicklyfixedifdesired.Asaresult,naturalevolutionisdoomed.(在不久的将来，任何物种的遗传密码中的自然进化都可以在需要的情况下迅速得到修复。因此，自然进化是注定的)”可知，文章讲述了人为进化相比自然进化的好处及随之而来的问题，最后作者指出，自然进化可以在需要的情况下迅速得到修复，因而自然进化是注定的，所以文章想告诉我们，自然进化虽然处于危险之中，但仍会顽强地幸存下来，故选D项。Passage7（2022·安徽·合肥市第八中学模拟预测）Weareaculturedrowninginourpossessions.Wetakeinmoreandmore(holiday,birthdays,sales,needs),butrarelyfindanopportunitytogetridofit.Asaresult,ourhomesfillupwithsomuchstuff.Andbecausewebelievethebestsolutionistofindorganizationaltoolstomanageallofit,weseekoutbiggercontainersormoreefficientorganizationaltipsandtricks.Butsimplyorganizingourstuffmustberepeatedoverandover.Atitsheart,organizingissimplyrearranging.Andthoughwemayfindstoragesolutionstoday,wearequicklyforcedtofindnewonesasearlyastomorrow.Additionally,organizinghassomeothermajorshortcomingsthatarerarelyconsidered.Forexample,itdoesn’tbenefitanyoneelse.Thepossessionswerarelyusesitonshelvesinourbasementsorgarages,evenwhilesomeofourclosestfriendsdesperatelyneedthem.Ontheotherhand,theactofgettingridofstufffromourhomeaccomplishesmanypurposes.Itisnotatemporarysolution.Itisanactionofpermanence—onceanitemhasbeenremoved,itisremovedcompletely.Whetherwere-sellourpossessions,donatethemtocharity,orgivethemtoafriend,theyareimmediatelyputtousebythosewhoneedthem.Removingpossessionsbeginstoturnbackourdesireformoreaswefindfreedomandhappinessinowningless.Andremovingourselvesfromtheall-consumingdesiretoownmorecreatesopportunitiesforsignificantlifechangestotakeplace.Ifyou’restrugglingwithhowtogetridofstuff,youcanfirstchallengeyourselftoremovetheunneededthingsinyourhome,carryatrashbagfromroom-to-room,seehowbigofa\ndonationpileyoucanmake,andeveneliminatedebtbysellingwhatyounolongerneed.Itdoesn’tmatterhowyouremovethem,foritisfarbettertoremovethantoalwaysorganize.25．Whatistheproblemwithsimplyorganizingstuff?A．Fewtoolsandtricksareavailable.B．Itneedstoberepeatedveryoften.C．Peoplecannotsavemoneybyorganizing.D．Desiretobuymoredisappearsbyorganizing.26．Howcanweremoveunnecessarypossessions?A．Byresellingthemtoothers.B．Bykeepingthemintrashbags.C．Bystoringtheminthegarage.D．Bypilingthemontheshelves.27．Whatdoestheunderlinedword“eliminate”meaninParagraph5?A．getridofB．getoverC．addtoD．takechargeof28．Whatisthepurposeofthepassage?A．Toexplaintheadvantagesanddisadvantagesoforganizingthings.B．Toinformreadersofthewaystogetridofunnecessarypossessions.C．Tocallforpeopletoremovestuffinsteadofjustorganizing.D．Toappealtopeopletomakedonationstopeopleinneed.【导语】本文为议论文，阐述了仅仅整理家里的物品并不能真的改善生活方式和自己的行为和理念，应当是彻底的舍弃，才能让物品既能物有所用，也能更好地整理自己的生活。25．【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段的“Butsimplyorganizingourstuffmustberepeatedoverandover.(但是，简单地组织我们的东西必须一遍又一遍地重复。)”可知，简单地整理东西的问题在于这需要经常重复。故选B。26．【答案】A【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Whetherweresellourpossessions,donatethemtocharity,orgivethemtoafriend,theyareimmediatelyputtousebythosewhoneedthem.(无论我们转售我们的物品，捐赠给慈善机构，或给他们的朋友，他们立即被需要它们的人使用。)”可知，通过转卖物品，捐赠给慈善机构，赠送给朋友等方式，都可以让自己彻底摆脱不必要的物品，而且不浪费物品本身的价值。故选A。27．【答案】A【解析】词句猜测题。根据“sellingwhatyounolongerneed(出售你不再需要的东西)”可知，卖掉不需要的东西后就可以得到钱，以此来摆脱债务，因此划线词的意思是“摆脱”，和getridof意思相近，故选A。28．【答案】C【解析】推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Andbecausewebelievethebestsolutionistofindorganizationaltoolstomanageallofit,weseekoutbiggercontainersormoreefficientorganizationaltipsandtricks.Butsimplyorganizingourstuffmustberepeatedoverand\nover.(因为我们相信最好的解决方案是找到有组织的工具来管理所有这些，我们寻求更大的容器或更有效的组织技巧和技巧。但是，简单地组织我们的东西必须一遍又一遍地重复。)”和第二、三段的描述可知，本文主要分析仅仅整理物品的缺点和彻底清理物品的优点，以达到劝说人们“断舍离”的目的，因此本文的目的是号召人们清除杂物，而不仅仅是整理。故选C。
