alevolutionhasalreadytakenabackseattomankind’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。23.【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\n【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,seehowbigofadonationpileyoucanmake,andeveneliminatedebtbysellingwhatyounolongerneed.Itdoesn’tmatterhowyouremovethem,foritisfarbettertoremovethantoalwaysorganize.25.Whatistheproblemwithsimplyorganizingstuff?A.Fewtoolsandtricksareavailable.B.Itneedstoberepeatedveryoften.\nC.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,weseekoutbiggercontainersormoreefficient\norganizationaltipsandtricks.Butsimplyorganizingourstuffmustberepeatedoverandover.(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。
